    The daily chances of severe injury or death were much greater than aboveground. Poisonous gases, especially methane, which was released naturally by the process of coalmining, were always present underground. A buildup of methane and carbon monoxide usually led to an explosion that killed many of the miners. Mining tunnels often collapsed, either paralyzing or crushing the workers to death. Sometimes a young miner would be crushed to the ground so severely that his body would have to be scraped from the floor of the mine with a shovel.

  • A Very Brief History Of Coal Mining In Cape Breton

    1913 Words  | 8 Pages

    In Cape Breton, the Sydney coalfield is one of the richest coal resources in the world. Before becoming miners, many poor European Immigrants came to Canada for hopes of earning more money than they did before, many Scottish immigrants settled in Cape Breton but remained poor and jobless. Business men in the late 1800s saw better use for the failing mining companies in Cape Breton if there was a railway built going from Sydney to Louisberg, the provincial government agreed to this which meant coal was not only worth more but the mines would not close during the winter months as they usually did. The dominion coal company took over many unprofitable coal mines in the Sydney Coal Field, many mining sites were built in Glace Bay when the coal industry really took, men were coming to get jobs daily in large numbers and The Dominion Coal Company hurriedly built boarding houses for the men to live in. After these boarding houses were built, they built school houses for the married miners children, hospitals, police stations and fire stations.

  • Stan Eales Thought: Satirical Cartoon

Eales seems to be inferring that the speaker in the cartoon is a wealthy CEO of a business whose corporation is harming the environment. It seems strange that the character is comfortable with what his business is doing to the surrounding area, but Eales insinuate that he is, in fact, not at all comfortable with the harm he is doing. The character shows slight distress by saying: “Think of it not as pollution…”. He looks unbothered but this quote shows that he hides his discomfort by reminding himself that his employment allows him to be prosperous
