labor day

Now I know why here in PA they were called minors.



January 1911. South Pittston, Pa. "Breaker boys working in Ewen Breaker of Pennsylvania Coal Co." Photograph by Lewis Wickes Hine.






They called him "Pops" because he was in his 20's.
 


 And was not dead.

Yet.

Then there is "the old timer" he was almost 40.



Wall-eye Schmitt probably did not make it to 15. But who knows?


Anyhow, Happy Labor day everyone.

Enjoy.



Next up:

Winter.
