History of the Progressive Miner's Union

	"The Coal Miner" True -- He plays no grandstand role in life but his importance is vital, great and just: for without his toil in earth caverns deep, civilization would soon crumble into the dust! A. D. 1964 From his poem - Vachel Davis This statue was dedicated on October 16, 1964 The Sculptor was John Szaton of Tinley Park, Illinois
This monument is located on the east side of the grounds of the Illinois State Capitol in Springfield, Illinois Photographed September 29, 2012
