Frank Justice Rules - the Patch - a Coal & Iron Policeman’s story.

    The Patch is a fictional tale of a Coal Mine Village and
its Coal Company Police called Coal and Iron Police.
It portrays the life of one Iron and the battle he fought
to understand and combat the viciousness of the Coal
Company Police. The Coal & Iron Police, a private coal
company paid police force, brought in by the coal company.
Their job was to keep order among the miners, and keep the
strikers out of the town and away from the mine. They were
mostly thugs, hired by the coal companies and paid to police
the entire town and the coal company property.

Frank Justice Rule (Regnare) is a shadowy character – Lawyer,
Policeman, Thug, Mogul -- a rich Avenger that brings justice his way.
The Patch could be any one of hundreds of small mining villages
that dot the landscape of Western Pennsylvania, West Virginia, or
Kentucky. Life was hard and challenging and the song sixteen tons
was spot on -- “You owe your soul to the Company Store.”

‘To serve is to rule.’ Frank Justice
