John MitehelI's Comment on Action of
Mine Workers.

John Mitchell, former president of
the United Mine Workers of America,
who recently resigned his $4,000 a
year position in the National Civic
federation, said in a speech as guest
of the Pennsylvania Social club In
New York city:
In response to the action of our
union, which made it necessary that /
give up my membership in it unless l
should give up my place on the board
of the Civic federation, I have given
up my place in the Civic federation.
l am free to state. however, that l
think my union made a mistake. But,
after ALL there are few among us who
do not make mistakes, and it is really
not q good sign when any man or
body of men do not make mistakes.
l did not give up $4,000 a year for
little card, as 1t has been character
lied. gave up the money for prin-
ciple. When / had power to enforce
similar edicts ordered other men to
give up their money. II would have
been to my lasting shame had hest.
tated when the order came to me by
my union. l hoped that my action
might be an example for all the union
men of America.
In the few days since that action l
have heard it reported that some per-
sons have said that my action was
not a display of loyalty to the union,
but was rather an admission that l
was in the wrong.
1t would require no high courage for
me at this time to give up my mem
bership in the union. 1t was a real
hardship. however. for me to give up
my work in the body that is trying to
establish industrial peace. But I had
no choice. I have given up my Jobs
many times before and at times when
I could less afford to do so. BY this
do not mean that I can well afford to
give up my place on the Civic fedora
ton, for cannot. 1t was hard upon
me to do so.
But I find some consolation that
among the men and women who have
known me personally the action of the
convention is not Endorsed. When I
first became head Of the union 1t was
insignificant. Now 1t has a place Of
national eminence. AS I say, believe
my union has done wrong in this ac-
don; but, to paraphrase a famous
speaker, declare, "My union-may it
always be right; but, right or wrong,
my union"
