MINERS GRIEVANCES

to dictate to rs in the management Of
our affairs; we have nothing TO arb-.
trale'
NOW that the managers of the COM
I,anies have been compelled by. You and
a thoroughly aroused public conscience
to recede from this position. We are
proud that the firmness and the heroic
endurance of our men and women in
support Of their rights and of vital
american principle. have Won the vic
tory.
a USEFUL LESSON
The poor, under paid mine workers or
these coal. regions, who toll hard from
early morning until late at night for a
livelihood, nobly supported by organized
labor in this and other lands, have taught
these corporation managers q useful les
son in civic and social duty. We exult
oNerfthis tribute to the dignity of labor
because it is the triumph OF right and
OF good public policy.
NE do not however, exult over our
opponents. We appeal to them now as We
have from the first. to turn their eyes
to he future and to- cooperate With lis
in am effort TO establish better relations
between employer and employe for the
advantage of both.
I'VE forgive them their arrogant re-
fusal to deal with us, and in this hour
when they are forced to acknowledge
their inability 10 operate their mines with
out our consent and cooperation, we hold
out the right hand of friendship, and ask
them to Join with US in securing AMIGA
bic relations and wholesome conditions
in this region. We forgive them even
the false accusations which they have
made gairst US.
The l>retense of the operators that
they were unable to produce coal be-
cause intimidation kept from work men
Who were willing TO work. has been
proven false by the fact that the protec-
ton which they demanded has decreased

MARKS a NEW ERA
The operators declared that they
would have nothing to do with the United
Mine Workers, but they have found 1t
necessary TO recognize the power of the
United Nine Workers of America, through
Won Mr.. President, and to seek terms of
peace which Will enable them to resume
their business of mining and selling coal.
The recognition of our strength thus
forced upon the operators by stern neces-
si,y. We eNnlt over not in any narrow
spirit. but because NE believe it marks
a forward step toward a new era Upon
the foundations laid through war we are
ready TO join with them in building for
better conditions and long and lasting
peace. The United Mine Workers of
America since its organization in the an
Il thracite coal fields has constantly sought
to establish first. fair wages and just

harmony and stability in the trade.
Upon our past record we are willing to
stand or fall. We have time and time
again invited the anthracite operators to
adopt these business methods and TO deal
With us on this basis. Despite repeated
rebuffs we persisted. but they resented
any attempt upon our part to organize
their employees: they refused our over
