Wage policy urged to oppose coal mine cutbacks
NDOTANAPOLIS Ind. United Mine Workers President John L Lewis urges no wage cuts and full use of miners union resources to back a nationalization policy. He recommends delaying definite wage demands until February and says the March 21, 1928 contracts expire to leverage power for workers. The convention, with 1300 to 1600 delegates, also seeks a rebuke of Harris and Farrington, and backing for the boards order on strikers. It calls for reaffirming nationalization, winning the fight in Mingo County, and possibly legal action to test Kansas industrial court legality.
