what John Mitchell was to the mine
workers. leader who worked his
way up from the ranks. He was
Y born in Lancashire, England, IN
1865, where as boy he began work
in the cotton mills. Blacklisted, he
said, because OF his activity in the
Mule Spinners' union, he came TO
the United States in 1884 Ind located
at Fall River, Mass, where he OBJ
tanned employment al his trade.
Head for 1o Years.
1t was in 1902, when Golden was
: treasurer OF the National Mule Spin
ners organization OF the United
States and Canada, that the conyen-
ton OF the United Textile Workers,
in session at Lowell, Mass, elected
him. president to succeed James Kan
sey and each year for 10 successive
wears Golden has been returned as
head OF the union labor body with
: its l75,000 TO 100000 members.
During the textile strike OF 1904 i'll
