[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1683140, member: 498"] When my Grandfather came to this country in 1910 he worked in PNW logging camps. He said they treated the pigs better than the men. The pigs got straw for bedding. The men had rough sawed lumber bunks. They had to gather ferns or limbs for a mattress. They worked from dawn to dusk 6 days a week. No slaves you were allowed to quit and draw your pay at any time. Of course then you would need to find another job. And that next job would have the same conditions. The only reason to move to another job was if they served better food. Working in very dangerous conditions if you got hurt you had to survive until quitting time because they didn't stop work to haul you to the doctor. If you got killed they just drug your body out of the way and continued work for the day. Shafer Bros Logging in the Grays Harbor area had a sign over their hiring office that read, "If you can't fly, don't light here." It is said that they averaged killing a man a day. [/QUOTE]
