Mining is seen as conservative leaning, and while that's truer that it has been in the past, a lot of the labour movement has its roots in mining.

In contrast was my coal miner relative in western Pennsylvania during that same time. He earned enough to build a nice house and raise a large family. The difference? He belonged to a union.

In 1925 we had the coal wars here. After that unions.
