1833 UNITED President Mitchell Delivers His Annual Report and Re- views Strike WAR FUND OF THE UNION Over in Treasury -An Officer Points Out Political Power Indianapolis Jan first thing on today's program at the miner's national convention was the reading of John Mitchell's annual re- port The convention met promptly at 9 o'clock with 900 delegates in their seats Mr Mitchell received the closest attention His report which was voluminous was in part is MITCHELL'S ADDRESS President Mitchell began his ad- dress by impressing upon the gates the interest committed to their Of the many important events the interest and welfare of the toilers of the country he said the anthracite coal strike stood pre- eminent Vital principles were at stake which defeated would have given to the American labor movement shock from which it would have re- quired years to rally and recover After giving a brief history of the great strike including the effort of the Civic Federation to settle the controversy between the miners and the operators the appointment of tho strike commission by President Roosevelt of which Judge George is the head and tho white house conferences Mr Mitchell It would of course be improper at this time for me to comment upon the investigation now being con- ducted by the anthracite coal strike commission more than to say that its members are eminent men in whose impartiality and Judgment I have full confidence in my opinion of our ity to demonstrate the justice of our I have no fear of tho out- come The that strikes were ing lesn numerous Mr Mitchell said was to the operator of the joint Agreements Local and general ho said occurred more often In districts where the operators re- fused to recognize the organization or treat with its accredited officers RELATIONS MORE CORDIAL Mr Mitchell With each succeeding year the relations become more cordial be- tween tho operators and miners in districts where trade ments exist and the bond of mutual confidence and respect perceptibly increases That tho business now existing will continue and grow as time goes on is my earnest hope and confident Concerning the incorporation of trade unions Mr Mitchell submitted an opinion by Clarence S Darrow of Chicago attorney for the miners be- fore the strike commission in which the following sentences The demand for the incorporation of trade unions is the last trench of those who oppose organized labor It is impudent and presumptuous No friends of trade unionism ever believed in it or advocated it or called for it It is demanded today by those interests and those enemies who havo used every means at their command to oppose trade unionism to counteract its influence and de- stroy it How the labor organizations shall manage their own is not the j business of the corporations or the employers This new demand for the incorporation of labor unions is not only unjust and unreasonable but it is impudent and insulting to the last degree SPEAKS OF INJUNCTIONS Referring to injunctions Mr Mitchell Government by injunction is one of the most insidious harassing and dangerous methods resorted to by the enemies of the workingmen to destroy labor organizations and to circumvent the constitutional right of trial by jury The whole system of government by injunction grows from the distrust of the ultra for democratic institutions The reasons given for the issuing of injunctions are always ing and generally false So far as these injunctions are issued in labor cases they are never issued excepting in such cases as call for the exercise of the criminal law Government by injunction only hostile to organized labor it is hostile to constitutional the American people do not chi this arbitrary power it will result in the annihilation of labor unions and then of all other forms of tions disliked by capitalists In closing Mr Mitchell I desire to thank each official col- league each officer and member of i our union for his assistance and port during the past year and to ask the indulgence of our delegates in the conduct of the convention At the conclusion of Mr Mitchell's report Secretary Wilson submitted his report SECRETARY'S REPORT Mr Wilson dwelt at length on many of the great anthracite strike In the matter of relief funds he said that the total amount by the different branches of our organization was Tha total amount received from the ial anthracite assessment was making a total of from the members of the United Mine Workers To this amount must be added donated by the trades unions and the public making a grand total of Speaking of the conditions ing immediately after the stopping of the strike Mr Wilson Under the circumstances it be- came necessary to prepare for any Continued on Fifth Page GIVES LIE Mr
