Move to push Socialist aims at United Mine Workers convention
The Illinois miners chief John H Walker offered an amendment to align the Mine Workers Journal with political goals, part of a push seen as advancing socialism in the union. Debates paused before action. Western Federation of Miners transfer rules sparked wrangle, favoring allied transfer terms. A $250 donation was approved for St Louis garment workers, while a similar appeal for Harriman rail shopmen failed.
