The men were well paid.

Yet there was discontent.

Agitators were at work among them, stirring up trouble, seeking to take their minds off their work and hurt the production of the copper that was needed to save the lives of men like those who were digging it out of the ground.

They were thinkin', there, in yon days, that men could live for themselves and by themselves.
But, thank God, it was only a few who thought so.

The great lot of the men were sound, and they did grand work.
