It is late in July and many people have travelled through 
the town and it´s surrounding country on holliday. 

This means a large number of females, who have travelled without any male company, have ended up in the Mine. 
This, together with a very hot summer, which has reduced the demand of coals, 
there are now not enough work to keep all the slaves busy at all time. 

Something has to be done ! 
 

The day begins like all other days in the mine, 
when Christina suddently hears Maria calling. 
 

"All of you in tunnel 5, 
stop working and line up 
in the main tunnel - NOW !" 
 

All the way down through tunnel 5, the slaves 
stops working uncertain of what´s happening. 
  

"Hey - Stop hacking Jane - 
Maria says, we must come !" 
 

"What do you think is going on Nina?" 

"I don´t know, but we better go in a hurry." 
 

"All of you, line up and wait !"

The order from the managers of the mine is 
to get rid of twenty slaves, so the rest will 
not become lazy from doing less work. 

It will take to much time selecting 
the weakest ones from all over the mine. 
It is much more easy just to pick a whole tunnel full, 
and the foreman picked tunnel 5 because 
there are twenty-one slaves working 
in it today. 
 

"Flappy Tits - You shall push the waggon. 
Do it now, if you don´t want to climb up 
on it yourself !" 
 

Christina knows, she has no choice. 
If she don´t do as she is told, she will hang to. 
 

Despair speads through the row of slaves, but 
they all knows there is nothing they can do 
other than wait for their turn. 







 

A newly abducted woman tries in vain- 

"Please Master - 
I have only been here since yesterday. 

Why have you put me in chains 
if you don´t need me? 

I swear by God, I will never tell anybody about 
this mine, if you will give me back my shoes 
and underclothes, and let me go home 
on the next train!" 
 

But neither pleas nor tears helps. 
All the slaves from tunnel 5 have to go !
 

One or two at a time are left 
kicking in their leg irons, making 
a loud rattling noise. 
 

"NOO - Please do not take my daughter!"  
 

"Don´t worry - You will stay together. 

Maria - Tie their hands, so we can get on with it!" 
 

Durring the next hours Christina has 
to push the waggon away again and again,
while the number af waiting women and girls 
rapidly decreases. 
 

At last all twenty slaves are
hanging from the beams, where 
they will remain until tomorrow, when the 
garbage collectors will drag them 
to the bone pits.  
 

Christina returns to work, knowing 
she has been very lucky. 
She is the only surviver from the 21 slaves 
who had worked in her tunnel. 
 

Soon after slaves from other tunnels
and shafts arrives to tunnel 5 and by evening 
Christina has got herself some new mates. 
 

Immediately after they have 
been kicked awake and been unchained, 
the hard work begines. 

Knowing they will be punished 
if they don´t meet the new quotas, 
the women and girls are 
straining themselvs to the utmost. 
 

"Oh no - My back hurts - I can´t." 
 

"You - Keep quiet ! 
You must work much harder !" 

"Come on - Lift - L I FT !!!" 
 

"Move it -  You can run much faster !" 
 

By evening the slaves drops to the ground 
completely exhaust, waiting for the foreman 
shall chain them for the night. 

Many of them have not managed to complete 
the new quota, and have got nothing to eat. 

Tomorrow they must all work much harder. 
 

The next day turns out to be even harder 
than the day before. 
 

"We black girls can work much harder - 
Now stop crying and PUSH !!!" 
  

All the slaves tries desperately to reach 
the new almost unattainable large work quota. 
 

Load after load of coal are pushed 
to the surface in a constant rising tempo. 
  

None are spared for Maria´s cane. 
Not even Christina. 

"Lazy slut - When I say, you must work 
faster, you better do it - UNDERSTAND!!!" 
 

There is no spare time for Maria. 
To keep up the high work tempo, she 
has to keep a strickt  eye on all the 
slaves all the time. 
  

She must specialy look after those, who 
only have been slaves for a short time. 
  

Luckily there are many girls with long 
experience among the slaves. 
 

Without  their strong bodies, it would 
have been impossible to reach the quotas. 
 

When the slaves finally receives the order 
to stop working and wait to be chained for the night, 
most of them immediately falls totally exhausted
to the ground. 
 

Some slaves  always remembers their evening prayer, 
never giving up hope of maybe some day... 

Many of the prayers heard in the mine 
are however of a more practical kind: 
  

"Please - 
 My daughter and I can not survive much longer 
with so much work... 

Please let the sheriff get hold of 
some more slaves very soon. 

Some one has told us, it is summer right now - 
There must be plenty of  women 
traveling on holliday, he can take - 
Just as he did with us last sommer !!!" 
 

Dazed from hunger and all the extra work, 
some of the slaves are beginning getting slow 
 in the morning. 




 

But after a good beating the 
work pace is soon up to the limit again. 
 

Maintains work is done even it makes 
certain, there will be no food this day. 
 

The pickaxes are swung in a back-breacking 
tempo, as all the slaves knows, that no food 
means certain death, and all the slaves wants 
desperately to live. 
 

All over the mine strong bodies are straining  
to the utmost. 
 

Specialy those who have a daughter 
working some place els 
in the mine, will try to manage everything 
to stay alive. 
 

Even the young French model Sandrine 
swings her pickaxe in a breathtaking speed. 

"Please - I can´t breath..." 

"You don´t need to breath Louise - 
You are going straight into the bone pit right now! 
I can not waste time on sick girls who can´t work."
 

"You can take this useless slut with you 
 at the same time Maria. 

For safety I will knock her unconscious. 
Then you can make Louise 
drag her down to the pits. 
This way you only have one to control 
on the way down." 
 

But not all is bad in the mine. 

The sheriff´s agents are doing their job, and
new strong females are beginning to arrive 
in increasing numbers. 

The slaves cheer up every time they see 
a new woman or girl being processed 
and put to work. 

For every new one who arrives, the work
pressure is lighten a bit, and all the slaves 
are begging for the sheriff shall get hold on 
as many as possible, so they soon can 
get back to the normal work quotas from before 
the mass hanging.
