Mitchell Praises Coal Award as Union Victory
Detroit March 21 President John Mitchell of the United Mine Workers hails the anthracite coal strike commission award as a victory for miners. He notes a 10 percent wage increase, a sliding scale, and a nine hour day with a board of conciliation benefiting about 90,000 workers. He says formal union recognition is not necessary for the power of the union to be acknowledged.
