Miners Convention Urges Direct Mine Inspector Vote
Peoria Illinois February 22. The state miners convention adopted resolutions on several issues. It rejected bonding state officers at 25000 each and urged that miners require clerks to show a union card when purchasing in Illinois. It favored electing mine inspectors by direct vote of the people and will ask the legislature to pass that law. Delegates to the next national convention were urged to oppose mine shot fires. Salary goals for state officers failed. The group sought an agreement with operators to withhold coal from firms employing scale labor. They denied planning to hiss McKinley and blamed the hissing on the delegate who proposed a $50 McKinley memorial fund.
