Foreign Miners and Deadly Weapons
The Century: The first purchase made
by aSlovak or Polack is a revolver, by Ital-
Ian or Sicilian a s%tiletto; then the new
conner buys n silver watch, and after that
is secured he begisns to save money. If
the Slavak or Polack is particularly
thrifty he postpones purchasing q revolt
yer for several months, and carries in his
pocket a round. hard stone. large enough
10 crush n man skull, and in another q
piece of iron tilched from the colliery scrap
heap. The Italian or Sicilian, too poor or
too pen:lrious to afford a stiletto, buys.
begs or steals q long flei and sits down in
his shanty or by the roadside. with two or
three stones. and grinds 1t to q keen edge
and a needle-llke point, Then he fastens
the blunt end In a corn cob and has ready
for use Il weapon of no mean possibilities.
Once armed. however. and provided with n
watch, the foreigner manages to live at Il
total expense of about Sc a ~month-and
this may be regarded as a liberal estimate
in most instances. The remainder of his
wages is saved toward the purchase of a
vineyard or a farm in the old country,
whittier almost all expect 10 return and
spend their lives.
