Union Officials Clash Over Anthracite Strike Arbitration
Delawar e and Lingkawan n company and mining presidents Truesdale Olyphant and Fowler respond to President Mitchell’s arbitration proposal. Truesdale argues the firm will not recognize a union or be bound by its terms, citing twenty five collieries and 22,000 workers and asserting officials will not tolerate dictates from the United Mine Workers. Olyphant defends wages as just and adequate, says piecework matters to workers, and opposes union arbitration, alleging the union cannot bind contracts and seeks to control fuel supply. Fowler contends average wages hinge on workers’ hours and rejects union success in regulating production.
