Valda was incensed with him for two reasons. In

Hard times is the order of the day.
We have only had few light frosts
here this winter.
Work is picking up here some. We
work four and five days a week. They
say times will get good here after a
while but wages are low here now. A
man can't hardly make living. They
have got coal down to 40c a ton, when
it used to be soc and 65c, and company
work was 50 80 and ST. 70 and now it is
81. 70 and 81. So. That is getting wages
down so low that people can't hardly
live. Its shame the way the laboring
class Of people will work against each
other, and let wages get down like
they are.
