icies that mean much to the success
of the United Mine Workers. So far
as | am concerned, and l think voice
the sentiments of the rank and file, it
is my opinion that our policy should be
such as to leave no doubt in the mind
of any one that there will be no reduc-
tions from existing wage contracts and
we should earnestly strive for such ad-
vancements as it is within the range Of
possibilities TO secure.
"While we will never surrender the
right to strike. we should not lose
sight of the fact that some of the great
est successes our organization has ever
achieved lay in The channels of peace
When / speak of peace. mean an en-
nohling peace where the rights of our
people are wholesomely respected; a
greater and broader recognition of their
Just and legitimate demands aclnowl-
edged and when We can behold a great
army Of men intelligently working out
the problems that seem difficult to
overcome"
