We've Come A Long Way (Maybe!)

The following is taken from Clear Lake, Dark Lies, by Jeff McClelland:

"We should consider giving the men some time off from our logging sites in order to evaluate our practices. In the last week, I have lost 6 men to falling logs and flying cables. Please take the time to consider this." - Memo from Camp Three foreman to company headquarters, June 1911

"Mr. Smith, there will be no time off for any review of logging practices. Men are expendable, and time is short. If you feel that you cannot comply with this order you too can be replaced.."
- Memo from company headquarters to Camp Three Foreman William Smith
