Miners Union Letter Denounces Sermon Over Wage Disputes
A wartime era letter from Local Union 5707 United Mine Workers of America in Helen West Virginia protests a preacher’s May 2 sermon criticizing union leadership. It argues for fair wages under the six day workweek plan, cites government policies on wages and price controls, and defends the integrity of UMWA president John Lewis and the union’s rank and file.
