Four videos made with clips from the 1940s:
three: construction and safety drills? Or is it closing time that is causing people to exit quickly?
four: people and two horses

The movie that you have posted is quite remarkable. I believe that it was made as part of an effort by Jack Dering to refinance or to provide additional funding for mine operations. Questions about "labor peace" were always meaningful... and you can see how an effort was made in this movie to show a positive attitude in the workforce at Dering. My understanding is that these movies were found at a sale in the northern US. I believe that they were in the possession of a financial institution....or the Dering family (originally from Chicago)
