During the trial. Lewis coldly testified: "I cannot sorrow for those pallid, under fed, ill-nourished operators of small mines who can't procession." keep up with the economic One predictable result of Lewis' policy: the number of coal miners at work in the U.S. has been more than halved (to 142,400) in the past ten years. And as displaced miners grow more and more desperate for jobs, they are increasingly willing to take work wherever they can find it - including nonunion mines.
