United Mine Workers Back Roosevelt in 1936 Campaign
Delegates to the United Mine Workers convention abandon non partisanship to pledge united support for Franklin D. Roosevelt’s re election. About 1 500 000 votes are anticipated from the 540 000 minor members. The resolution praises Roosevelt as humanitarian and calls for active campaign work, formation of Roosevelt clubs, and use of more than $2000 from the union treasury. The gathering denounces war and fascism and urges unemployment relief and fair treatment for Black workers as it criticizes opponents of the New Deal.
