...Continent this is no less true than in England and Dutchmen, for example, consider themselves most fortunate to have so ripe a sovereign as Wilhelmina, whose wisdom and sagacity in her constitutional sphere are immense. Contrary to some mistaken impressions overseas, King George in his last years was a terror to certain British statesmen because of His Majesty's quiet strength of character and experience in getting his way by imperceptible means. He figured largely in setting up the ingenious contraption known as Great Britain's "National Government." His will was instrumental in having the general election held...

Digging of the Gauley Bridge tunnel ended in 1932. By that time about 500 silicosis deaths had spread terror throughout the territory. A smart Kentucky lawyer went over the mountains, instigated damage suits against Rinehart & Dennis. Some relicts won. Some derelicts won. Many lost or sued too late to accomplish anything for themselves. But as a result West Virginia passed its silicosis compensation law, which in turn prompted the radical press to dig up the Gauley Bridge skeleton, rattle its bones...
