First, it's the site where the bodies of the miners were recovered following the Christmas disaster and it's also the site where legendary UMW President John L.

Truman signed into law the Federal Coal Mine Safety Act, after John L. Lewis testified before Congress about the disaster. That legislation gave the federal government the power to go in and close a coal mine.
