In this interview he recalls the working conditions in the mine, living in the company camp and losing his leg in a mining accident. He also discusses mining methods, including mining with mules. He recalls The Depression and says that the mines were shut down during this period. He says once the New Deal started, work started to pick up pretty well. In his discussion of this period, he describes walking 56 miles to work for the WPA (Works Progress Administration) in Hueytown. Grace also describes how the union came about in 1933. Until he worked in the mine, he had never heard of the union but was warned by his employers to not have anything to do with \"folks come from up North or somewhere or another, wanting to get y'all in a union.\" He says the workers eventually joined because they wanted better working conditions. Grace was laid off as an \"undesirable\" due to his union activities; the company was eventually required to hire him back and pay him for the two years of lost work. He also recalls losing his leg in the accident and returning to work after he had recovered. The company provided $300 in compensation for his leg.","The digitization of this collection was funded by a gift from EBSCO Industries."],"dc_format":["audio/mpeg","image/jpeg"],"dcterms_identifier":null,"dcterms_language":["eng"],"dcterms_publisher":null,"dc_relation":["The University of Alabama Libraries Special Collections"],"dc_right":["http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC-EDU/1.0/"],"dcterms_is_part_of":["Working Lives Oral History Project"],"dcterms_subject":["Grace, Jessie--Interviews"],"dcterms_title":["Interview with Jessie Grace"],"dcterms_type":["Sound","Text"],"dcterms_provenance":["William Stanley Hoole Special Collections Library"],"edm_is_shown_by":null,"edm_is_shown_at":["http://digitalcollections.libraries.ua.edu/cdm/ref/collection/u0008_0000003/id/169"],"dcterms_temporal":null,"dcterms_rights_holder":null,"dcterms_bibliographic_citation":null,"dlg_local_right":["Images are in the public domain or protected under U.S. copyright law (Title 17, U.S. Code), and both types may be used for research and private study.

Maggard talks about organizing a union for steelworkers at the TCI plant in Ensley. He recalls being laid off for up to a week sometimes because he was trying to get people to join the union. He says people were scared to join for that very reason, so the union took two years to get off the ground. He recalls that blacks and whites were both in the union. The union was good for blacks especially, because it helped regulate the process for advancement so that it followed seniority. He also talks about \"scabbing,\" which meant working in a plant where a union was on strike. He says he almost scabbed once at the Sloss plant because he badly needed the money, but he was afraid to. One of his friends was badly beaten for scabbing. He also reminded himself that he should support the union; they were on strike for a reason. Maggard discusses his work in the steel plant. He was a common laborer but he eventually moved up to other jobs on the furnace side of the operations. He says the steel plant was better money than some other industrial jobs and believes it was easier to \"dodge\" work. The only drawback was the work could be dangerous, but he believes the company had good safety protocols in place, so that most accidents were from people not following protocols. Maggard also recounts living through the Depression. He says it was hard, but a person could do it without having to steal. He explains how he worked on the WPA for a time, loading dirt and working on roads. Maggard believes the Depression was in general harder on blacks than whites because it was easier for whites to find work and receive aid. He tells the story of dealing with a difficult woman at the Red Cross, Ida Shepherd, who continued to deny him aid. He claims that he wrote the president of the United States twice and nearly got Shepherd fired, and in the end, he received his check for aid. He calls the Red Cross workers \"mean\" and \"rough folks.","The digitization of this collection was funded by a gift from EBSCO Industries."],"dc_format":["audio/mpeg","image/jpeg"],"dcterms_identifier":null,"dcterms_language":["eng"],"dcterms_publisher":null,"dc_relation":["The University of Alabama Libraries Special Collections"],"dc_right":["http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC-EDU/1.0/"],"dcterms_is_part_of":["Working Lives Oral History Project"],"dcterms_subject":["Maggard, Curtis--Interviews"],"dcterms_title":["Interview with Curtis Maggard"],"dcterms_type":["Sound","Text"],"dcterms_provenance":["William Stanley Hoole Special Collections Library"],"edm_is_shown_by":null,"edm_is_shown_at":["http://digitalcollections.libraries.ua.edu/cdm/ref/collection/u0008_0000003/id/60"],"dcterms_temporal":null,"dcterms_rights_holder":null,"dcterms_bibliographic_citation":null,"dlg_local_right":["Images are in the public domain or protected under U.S. copyright law (Title 17, U.S. Code), and both types may be used for research and private study.

He also talks about how race came into play in assigning those jobs. Lide gives some background on himself, saying his father was a \"rambler,\" so he can't remember why they came to Birmingham. His mother was a domestic worker. He remembers the relief lines during the Depression, as well as living at a CC Camp himself and knowing of others who worked for the WPA. Lide was in the Navy in 1943. Lide says he worked several industrial jobs until he was hired at Sloss, where he worked for 35 years. He describes the iron-making process in great and technical detail. He remembers seeing an explosion that killed two men, just from the heat of the furnace alone. He says they cast the iron twice in each eight-hour shift. Lide describes three different types of jobs he held in the mine: working on the labor gang, running scale cars, and working on a track job. He explains that those on the labor gang worked at \"cleaning cars\" (i.e., unloading them), while men running scale cars put the different \"ingredients\" for the iron into the furnace. Track work involved repair and upkeep of the track. He says he enjoyed that job because of the people he worked with. He also talks about how they often chanted and sang to help stay in the rhythm of laying track. Lide also differentiates between the various supervisory positions, and explains that for a long time, only whites were allowed to hold those positions. Blacks didn't advance to foreman until the labor union forced the issue, and he says that didn't happen fast enough, because the union was segregated. He recalls that after blacks began to advance, it was also more common to see whites in labor jobs.","The digitization of this collection was funded by a gift from EBSCO Industries."],"dc_format":["audio/mpeg","image/jpeg"],"dcterms_identifier":null,"dcterms_language":["eng"],"dcterms_publisher":null,"dc_relation":["The University of Alabama Libraries Special Collections"],"dc_right":["http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC-EDU/1.0/"],"dcterms_is_part_of":["Working Lives Oral History Project"],"dcterms_subject":["Lide, Monroe--Interviews"],"dcterms_title":["Interview with Monroe Lide"],"dcterms_type":["Sound","Text"],"dcterms_provenance":["William Stanley Hoole Special Collections Library"],"edm_is_shown_by":null,"edm_is_shown_at":["http://digitalcollections.libraries.ua.edu/cdm/ref/collection/u0008_0000003/id/325"],"dcterms_temporal":null,"dcterms_rights_holder":null,"dcterms_bibliographic_citation":null,"dlg_local_right":["Images are in the public domain or protected under U.S. copyright law (Title 17, U.S. Code), and both types may be used for research and private study.

Washington worked at W. S. Dickey Clay Manufacturing Company, which made sewer pipe and fittings as well as flue lining and brick. He describes the process of making fittings, which was his job for many years. He explains that they were paid by the piece and with incentives. The advantage of the job was a person could work the hours he wanted and still make decent money if he was willing to work hard. The disadvantages were the workers had few benefits and the work was hot and hard. He recalls the story of a man whose hands were cut off in an accident, and he eventually returned to work. Washington believes the union was important because people can get more accomplished together than apart. He says the union came in 1938, the Brick and Clay Workers. That local disbanded and they reformed under the USW. He was president of that local for many years, until he had to quit the union to take a promotion to inspector, then foreman. As union leader, he was often called to help organize in other places, and the company gave him leaves of absence. Washington describes an incident with a group of white inspectors who didn't want to join the USW, who instead formed a new Brick and Clay Workers. The USW decided to strike with them, but they were in breach of contract, so they had to go back to work. The Ku Klux Klan joined the inspectors on their strike, and Washington was called to D.C. to testify about the incident. Washington talks about segregation on the job. He says blacks couldn't be mechanics or carpenters, as well as foreman and other positions of authority. They also had segregated facilities for a long time. Changes came about 1966, because of the union and also because of new civil rights laws. Washington also discusses living through the Depression. He says they raised animals and kept a garden, and friends would often help each other out, trading food. He also says the communist party was attempting to win people over by paying their bills. He says his family was never on relief.","The digitization of this collection was funded by a gift from EBSCO Industries."],"dc_format":["audio/mpeg","image/jpeg"],"dcterms_identifier":null,"dcterms_language":["eng"],"dcterms_publisher":null,"dc_relation":["The University of Alabama Libraries Special Collections"],"dc_right":["http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC-EDU/1.0/"],"dcterms_is_part_of":["Working Lives Oral History Project"],"dcterms_subject":["Washington, Robert--Interviews"],"dcterms_title":["Interview with Robert Washington"],"dcterms_type":["Sound","Text"],"dcterms_provenance":["William Stanley Hoole Special Collections Library"],"edm_is_shown_by":null,"edm_is_shown_at":["http://digitalcollections.libraries.ua.edu/cdm/ref/collection/u0008_0000003/id/18"],"dcterms_temporal":null,"dcterms_rights_holder":null,"dcterms_bibliographic_citation":null,"dlg_local_right":["Images are in the public domain or protected under U.S. copyright law (Title 17, U.S. Code), and both types may be used for research and private study.
