Unified effort marked by Little Entente meeting in Belgrade
The article notes United Mine Workers Union Executive Board meeting underway under John L Lewis control. It reports two blank checks from the Golden Jubilee convention for political and economic support, plus authorization to back a Presidential candidate and secure over $2,000 in treasury funds. The wage scale committee is to push the best coal industry contract via a joint scale conference and a Thirty Hour Week. The convention withholds further action until contracts are renewed or a strike is called. De Shetler cautions against tipping their hand.
