Concerns over safety were not confined to mineworkers. On May 6, 1949, sixty-​two thousand Ford Rouge workers, for example, wildcatted over speedup and safety issues. On the same date, the continuous miner was introduced at Bethlehem Steel's Carolina-​Idamay captive mine in Marion County, West Virginia. The amount of dust and heat generated by this new machinery was so extreme that it could no longer be controlled by the existing sprinkler systems, and miners saw their health and safety conditions deteriorating. Meanwhile, a number of National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) decisions challenged the union. The Taft-​Hartley Act of 1947 mandated that union shops could be achieved only by a workplace vote run by the NLRB. Since the coal miners had refused, however, to sign the anti-communist pledges of Taft-​Hartley, they were not eligible for NLRB elections. The union shop provisions of their contracts were ruled illegal. Then questions were raised about whether the health and welfare royalty payments to the union were legal contractual issues. Companies began to refrain from making their contractual contributions, and the union health care system approached insolvency.

On September 19, 1950, the largest captive mine in West Virginia, Barrackville, and largest commercial mine, Grant Town, voted to strike until companies paid into the health and welfare fund. The rest of West Virginia and southwestern Pennsylvania miners immediately followed; roving pickets covered the whole region, including many "small unorganized mines." Most scab operators immediately closed their mines when they saw union pickets.

On October 1, 1950, steelworkers also went out on strike, followed shortly by workers at Ford, Chrysler, and General Motors. These strikes together almost certainly stalled efforts to repeal the Taft-​Hartley Act, creating an anti-​union public opinion backlash. John L. Lewis then ordered the West Virginia miners back to work, but they refused to comply. Finally, district officials called a meeting on January 19, 1950 to try to get the miners back. Two thousand showed up and chased the international reps from the stage; Lewis's name was booed from the floor. The coal miners again had support from the rest of the labor movement. Autoworkers in Detroit donated money and food. Tommy Thompson, president of UAW Local 600, came to Pursglove, West Virginia, with a food caravan and relief money, pledging the support of the sixty thousand auto workers at his Ford local. The 1950 strike, however, was the last one that Lewis was to lead.

[entrenched-heart]

My heartbeat picked up pace immediately as I watched him reach for the box. As the round steel lay on my chest, I swear I could feel my heart racing against it, as if he had just dialled on the speedup button. I instinctively look at anywhere but his eyes, but at some instances our gazes locked momentarily, and it killed me. A while later as he took it down, I tried to smile as casually as possible, “ ears okay?” I was met with a smile back, “yeah. You okay?” My breathing was already somewhat shallow, “I’m never outgrowing the nervousness of this.” And it showed, because this was the first time I stammered today. “Good”, he said, “Don’t change. I like it.” A tinge of sadness swept over me, “you’re not gonna see much more of this, you know.” And then his right palm rested on the upper part of my heart, gently, “yes, so I may as well make the most of it.”

That’s really all it took, and all it will ever take, for me to enter into a trance right there. A hand over my heart is my eternal weakness. His hand was warm and comfortable, but electrifying all at the same time. I trembled- or shuddered- and I wondered if he knew. A huge wave of sensation shot through me, a feeling that was so specific, that was that way only because this extraordinarily specific craving was satisfied at last. In just the right way. My heart beat eagerly, earning to get closer to his palm, to be in it. I looked at him with a nervous smile, knowing that he was enjoying what he just did, too. In that moment, it was almost like I wanted my heart to send a message that I myself had no intention to. That I had really liked it. That this couldn’t just be done with anybody. That I was glad it was with him, and there was no other way.

But it was okay, because I was drowning in the waves of dopamine. Ear stething, hand stething… Choking, stimulating, caressing… But always, focusing on my heart. “What?” he asked, looking at me as if seeking for an answer. Instead of something out-of-the-world nightmarish, this time I’d finally learnt to simply indulge in the moment and tell him what’s on my mind, “I’m just thinking… that I’ll let you hold my heart if I could.” It was strange, us desiring the same thing we couldn’t have, but also strangely nice that we actually desired it mutually. “I want to hold your heart in my hand… I want to wrap my fingers around it, I want to squeeze it tightly…” And he got as close to that as humanely possible, while I savoured the clutches deeply in my memory.

Eventually the sky got dark, and I couldn’t see into his turquoise eyes like before. But they were still as deep, and I actually wanted to remember how he looks like. Though it will fade away so soon, as always.

“I’ll really miss this – your heart beating into my hand.” I whispered back, “me too”.

Maybe my heart had told him, this was my peak and my end.

Humankind periodically goes through a speedup of its affairs, thereby experiencing the race between the renewable vitality of the living and the beckoning vitiation of decadence. In this periodic race, any pause becomes luxury. Only then can one reflect that all is permitted; all is possible.

Quantum Computing and Data Science: Shaping the Future of Analysis

In the ever-evolving landscape of technology and data-driven decision-making, I find two cutting-edge fields that stand out as potential game-changers: Quantum Computing and Data Science. Each on its own has already transformed industries and research, but when combined, they hold the power to reshape the very fabric of analysis as we know it.
