They all escape, but in their frantic efforts to reach safety they forget Sanders, who risked his life to warn them. The manager decides to attempt a rescue and rushes into the mine. He finds Sanders, overcome, lying in the path of the flames, and throwing him over his shoulder, fights his way out. The miners strike for higher wages, but the manager refuses to accede to their demands. Upon his refusal a strike is declared, which continues peaceably until they realize that the manager has no intention of giving in. They then plan to blow up the pump house in order to flood the mine. Sanders overhears their plan and hurries away to find the manager and warn him. Not finding him at home, he runs to the pump house to warn the engineer, but finds that the manager has arrived before him and is guarding it single-handed. The mob approaches and the manager is roughly struck to the ground. Sanders, in trying to aid the manager, is also rendered unconscious. It is a very repentant committee which calls at the manager's house to ascertain how their young hero is progressing, and incidentally to ask the manager to reinstate the strikers on the old terms. This the manager is glad to do, and he introduces to them their new assistant manager, Sanders. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
