UNIONTOwN, Pa, May II
Organizing the Connellsville re-
gion is regarded among labor
circles as great achievement.
Since 1891 the district has vir-
tually been non-union
Without Connellsville, the
United Mine Workers of America
could hardly hope to tie UP the
nations coal production. This is
because Connellsville and the non
union field of West Virginia could
come fairly close to supplying the
minimum demand for fuel while
all the union mines were on
strike.
William Feeney. international
organizer; John O'Leary, inter
national board member, and Will

member, are in charge of union
organizers. They expect to have
