The unions were sending in men to agitate
to get the unions into the mines. Eli Saxton
joined with them in agitating for unions
and as a result, he was fired. This occurred
just before the mine explosion of 1895,
which killed so many, but probably saved
his life. Even though he was not working at
the mines at the time, he helped search for
the survivors and get the dead men out. He
told how parts from the mine were found
clear over by Turner’s hill and all along the
road from the terrible
explosion.
