There are any number of groups and individuals in this story. One of the necessities of storytelling is that the characters have to do what they see as right. Lively, the restaurant owner, is informing to the coal companies and will see some of his neighbors beaten up, perhaps killed. Lively isn't Dracula, he doesn't live on suffering. He believes that nothing can really change the situation: the strong prey on the weak. Work for the strong and you get somewhat ahead.
