White Pine Copper Company head talks on ore mine strike
Richard C. Cole, president of White Pine Copper Company, spoke on WJMS Ironwood about the 100 day strike grounding mining and smelting. He defended a 64 cent per hour package as a starting point for negotiations and urged union leaders to hold votes and sit at the bargaining table. The executive highlighted the mine’s vast potential and costs, calling for unity to reopen operations. He criticized unions for keeping members in the dark and urged an election on strike continuation. Edwin H. Gott of U S Steel warned that rising imports threaten American jobs, noting steel import levels and the cost gap with foreign producers. He argued for balanced trade and strong domestic investment to sustain the economy.
