peaceable conclusion all existing diff
ferences, and by his advice and coun-
sci to all interested parties to the con-
troversy, did manifest disposition to
uphold and defend the interests and
rights Of the men then on strike;
Therefore, be it resolved, that Lo-
cal Union, No. 1924, United Nine
Workers of America, at Rich Hill,
hereby tender to Governor Dockery
its thanks for the great interest mani
tested by him In the aforesaid contro-
versy between the United Mine Work
ers Of this section and their employ
ers by his disposition to fairness and
impartiallty In his requests to both
parties interested and invaluable ser
vices voluntarily rendered during said
settlement, and while we as mine
workers were not conceded in the said
adjustment all we believed ourselves
Justly and reasonably entitled to, we
recognize the fact that his presence
and influence assisted materially In
bringing about an adjustment that
otherwise might have been prolonged
indefinitely.
Resolved, that we regard the action
OF Governor Dockery In the settle
ment Of our differences with the Rich
Hill Coal Mining Company as evidence
Of friendllness toward and sympathy
with the great body Of miners and
others who earn their bread by the
sweat Of their brow, and hereby ten
der him this evidence OF our apprecla-
tion OF both sentiment expressed and
action taken in dealing with class Of
citizens who were largely instrument
al in elevating him to the chief magis-
tracy Of the great State Of Missouri.
Resolved, that the secretary Of this
Local be instructed to forward
to Governor Dockery a copy Of these
resolutions with the seal OF this Local
attached thereto.

STRIKE.
HE is A LABOR SYMPAYHIzER.
United Mine Workers Who Partici-
pated in the Strike Commend the
Governors Action in Bringing
About an Adjustment.

At recent meeting Of the United
Mine Workers cf America at Rich
Hill, a resolution was passed by that
body expressive o. their thanks for the
manner In Which Gov. Dockery
brought about al equitable adjust
ment Of the recent strike at that
place. The resolution follows:
Whereas, during November, 1901, a
large majority Of the miners employed
by the Rich Hill Coal Mining compa-
ny, a corporation owning and operat-
ing coal mines In the vicinity of Rich
Hill, did cease work on account Of
the refusal OF the said company to
its miners and other employees certain
conditions and regulations regarding
the operating Of said mines, similar
concessions having been previously
made by the company to its miners
and employees in other sections Of this
State and the State of Kansas; and
whereas,
The said Rich Hin Coal Mining Co.
did, during the prevalence Of said
strike, through Its officials and super
intendent, attempt to prevail upon
Gov. Dockery, Governor of this State,
to station military force In and
about the said city of Rich Hill for
the purpose of intimidating, sublugat-
ing and defeating the purposes and
desires of said striking miners, after
they had signed to said company their
willingness to submit all differences
to arbitration; and whereas,
Governor Dockery did on said occa-
sion refuse to comply with the de-
mands Of said corporation for the en-
ployment Of said militia OF the State
for the unnecessary and unwarranted
purpose Of furthering the interests of
said corporation by thus enabling it to
ignore fair dealing with its employees,
and instead of granting said demand
for military assistance, visited our
city in person in order to thoroughly
inform himself as to what action, i'll
any on bis part, was necessary or de-
sirable in order to bring about an
equitable adjustment of the differ
ences existing between the company
and its employees; and whereas,
Governor Dockery did by his inhu-
snce and advice, after a full investi-
cation of matters then in dispute,
,ause the then existing controversy
