NORTHWEST MINERS
WIN

Seattle Wilkinson mine owners
have abandoned their non-union plan
and have reached an agreement with
the United Mine Workers. The coal
diggers won this fight and made good
la promise of the United States gov
ernment after federal and state au-
thorities failed
When the nationwide coal strike
was called off last fall the govern
ment announced that the status quo
prior to the strike would be retained.
Wilkinson mine owners ignored this
pledge and retained non-unionists.
They called this the American" plan,
and refused pleas Of both the state
and national government to adjust
the matter.
Attorney General Palmer wrote 4
letter but issued no injunction.
Letter writing and pleas were un-
awaiting, but when the mine owners
found that non-unionists could not
produce coal they settled.
