Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Muleteers and cannoneers rolled in one, the men of Battery C, 26th Battalion, Field Artillery Replacement Training Center, consider the most impossible terrain part of the day's work. With their guns and auxiliary equipment slung on the backs of army mules, they break through thick forests, ford streams, and scale mountain ranges. Their job is to go where mechanized and horse-drawn artillery can't go

Holding the door open while a trip? goes through. Willie Bryden, a nipper, 164 Center St. A lonely job. Waiting all alone in the dark for a trip to come through. It was so damp that Willie said he had to be doctoring all the time for his cough. A short distance from here, the gas was pouring into the mine so rapidly that it made a great torch when the foreman lit it. Willie had been working here for four months, 500 feet down the shaft, and a quarter of a mile underground from there. (Shaft #6 Pennsylvania Coal Co.) Walls have been whitewashed to make it lighter. January 16th, I found Willie at home sick, His mother admitted that he is only 13 yrs old; will be 14 next July. Said that 4 mos. ago the mine boss told the father to take Willie to work, and that they obtained the certificate from Squire Barrett. (The only thing the Squire could do was to make Willie out to be 16 yrs old.) Willie's father and brother are miners and the home is that of a frugal German family. Location: Pittston, Pennsylvania
