Mitchells Opening Statement in Mine Wage Conflict
Mitchell argues that eight hour workdays and eight dollar pay misstate the real labor value and urges recognition of the United Mine Workers as essential for lasting peace. He cites wage comparisons with other miners, the president’s role in ending the strike, and signals a proposed trade agreement to resolve issues between miners and operators. The narrative also notes President Roosevelt’s son Th Roosevelt Jr recovering from a minor illness with a return to school unlikely before ten days.
