I am Congressman Austin Murphy from Western Pennsylvania. I chair the Subcommittee on Labor Stand ards, Occupational Health and Safety in the United States Con gress, which is one of the six subcommittees Of the Education and Labor Committee. We are joined today with Congressman Harris Fawell from Illinois. Today the Subcommittee on Labor Standards, Occupational Health and Safety convenes in Pottsville, Pennsylvania, to tackle the tough issue of improving the Federal Black Lung Benefits Pro gram. For the majority of us here today, this problem is something beyond mere statistics. I have met many people suffering from this disease when travelling in my district, and have listened to the sto ries of unending frustration and ultimate rejection during the ben efit application process. I have heard the fear in a widow's voice when she describes the government's efforts to reclaim thousands of dollars in benefits used for years in her monthly income. These people know that something is wrong with the system. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: In a devastating and urgent work of investigative journalism, Pulitzer Prize winner Chris Hamby uncovers the tragic resurgence of black lung disease in Appalachia, its Big Coal cover-up, and the resilient mining communities who refuse to back down. Decades ago, a grassroots uprising forced Congress to enact long-overdue legislation designed to virtually eradicate black lung disease and provide fair compensation to coal miners stricken with the illness. Today, however, both promises remain unfulfilled. Levels of disease have surged, the old scourge has taken an aggressive new form, and ailing miners and widows have been left behind by a dizzying legal system, denied even modest payments and medical care. In this devastating and urgent work of investigative journalism, Pulitzer Prize winner Chris Hamby traces the unforgettable story of how these trends converge in the lives of two men: Gary Fox, a black lung-stricken West Virginia coal miner determined to raise his family from poverty, and John Cline, an idealistic carpenter and rural medical clinic worker who becomes a lawyer in his fifties. Opposing them are the lawyers at the coal industry’s go-to law firm; well-credentialed doctors who often weigh in for the defense, including a group of radiologists at Johns Hopkins; and Gary’s former employer, Massey Energy, the region’s largest coal company, run by a cantankerous CEO often portrayed in the media as a dark lord of the coalfields. On the line in Gary and John’s longshot legal battle are fundamental principles of fairness and justice, with consequences for miners and their loved ones throughout the nation. Taking readers inside courtrooms, hospitals, homes tucked in Appalachian hollows, and dusty mine tunnels, Hamby exposes how coal companies have not only continually flouted a law meant to protect miners from deadly amounts of dust but also enlisted well-credentialed doctors and lawyers to help systematically deny much-needed benefits to miners. The result is a legal and medical thriller that brilliantly illuminates how a band of laborers — aided by a small group of lawyers, doctors and lay advocates, often working out of their homes or in rural clinics and tiny offices – challenged one of the world's most powerful forces, Big Coal, and won. A deeply troubling yet ultimately triumphant work, Soul Full of Coal Dust is a necessary and timely book about injustice and resistance.
