Former Head of United Miners Now
In the Office of the National
Civic Federation.
TO GIVE HIS FULL TINE TO 1T
In Charge of the Trade Agreement De-
partment, MIR. Mitchell Will Have
Fine Opportunity for the Exercise of
the TaIerts He Has So often Turned
to Good Account

New York, Aug. 5.-John Mitchell
former president of the United Mine
Workers of America, today began to
devote his entire time to the interests
of the trade agreement department of
the National Civic Federation.
AS member of the executive coun-
Gil of the federation, Mr.. Mitchell has
been chairman of the trade agreement
committee, but far more aggressive
work than hitherto has been possible
became desirable.
In making the offer to Mr.. Mitchell
to assume charge of this work, Seth
Low, president of the federation, wrote
to Mr.. Mitchell: "It is our belief that
through this department you will find
an opportunity still to use in the in
terest of industrial peace and advance
ment the great experience and inf1u-
ence you have gained in your long SER
vice in the United Mine Workers of
America.
cit goes without saying that in this
GLIDING the relations of employer and
employees, are among the most vital
and pressing questions of the day.
You will be able, no doubt, to COM
mand the cooperation in the work of
your department, not only of the rep
resentatives of organized labor, but of
that great body of employers of labor
who recognize and sympathize with
the aspirations and aims of organized
labor: and from this standpoint of adj
vantage we think you may be able to
render enduring service to the coun-
try in a field not second in influence
to any other."
Under date of July II, Mr. Mitchell
accepted Mr.. Lows offer, replying:
81 desire to thank you for the oppor-
tunity thus opened to me to develop,
so far as lies in my power, a relation
ship between employers and working
men which will conduce to their mu-
tual interest, anG protecting the public
welfare by the promotion OF industrial
peace.
"The trade agreement is not spec
ulative, untried theory. On the con-
trary it is the recognized and estab-
lished method through which wages
and conditions of employment are reg
ulated between wOrkmen and employ
ers in many Of the most important in
dustries of the interdependence of la
Dor and capital; it gives to the working
men an interest in the successful con-
duct of business and guarantees to en-
ployers and employees alike, long peri
DDS of industrial peace, an assurance
that cannot be given through any
other agency.
"The maintenance and extension of
this system of regulating conditions of
employment and industry should meet
with the appreciation of all forces in
society solicitOus for industrial peace
on a basis equitable to the working
men and to their employers"
