Miners Demand Higher Wages and shorter Hours at Cleveland
In Cleveland on September 22 the United Mine Workers of America debated raising wages by sixty percent and cutting the workday from eight to six hours. A roll call delayed the vote on appointing auditors and salaried workers, while a committee report on the shorter day was carried by a majority. The convention also debated aiding steel workers and the Washington agreement, with a plan to abandon established political policy and push for a national labor party to elect labor representatives to Congress and state legislatures.
