President of Pittsburg Mine Workers Scores Mitchell. ———— TELLS WHY HE VOTED “YO STRIKE" “Let Us Be Monest; Wages Have Been Inereased and Hours Reduced; Rossevelf and Hansa, Not Mifehell, Ended Strikes.” PITTSBURG, Pes. 12. President Patrick Dolan of the local distriet of United Mine Workers of America, whose resigustion was demanded at the convention of delegates from the local union in the district because he voted with the operators at Indlanapo- Us to maintain the present Wage scale, bas issued a statement in which he gives his reasons for so voting. In the statement President Dolan EAYS: “As soon as th miners’ officials of the state of Illinois saw that they could uot get an agreement on iocal Issues In their own state Secretary- Treasurer W. D. Ryan of the 1inois miners presented a resolution in the miners’ convention declaring that no district in the United States would be permitied to make a settlement unless they-all settled at one time. This res. olution was passed, | voted against it and tried to talk agalost it, but was Lissed and hooted down, “This resolution puts the miners of this country in a ridiculous position. Une little district in Michigan, Brit. ish Columbia or some other obscure place can bring strife and woe and bunger ou 000,000 miners just because these little districts bave some local difference it cannot adjust Jobn Mitchell is going down to New York to ask the anthracite operators for a contract which he has not the power to enter into, as the natidual convention bas tied Lim hand and foot. “With these facts In mind, when the Joiut convention reassembled and the operators offered to reaffirm the pres- eLt scale, I voted for it openly and honestly, and so convinced was I of the justige of wy opinion that I refus- ed fo retract In the face of jeers and revilings and threats of bodily harm. I kuéw In the face of the resolution to tie up all districts untll all have settled that nothing but a miracle or a com- plete backdown upon the part of the miners would avert a tremendous strike, the end of which none can fore s¢e, but which threatens us and the country with terrible loss. “I was alone In my vote, but 1 was not alone In my opinion. At the con- vention of the American Federation of Labor iu Pittsburg in November [ con- sulted President Mitchell and W. D Ryan, and they both told me they would be satisfied with a renewal of the present agreement, but that we ought to demand ap advance as a mast- ter of policy. “Later I consulted President Haskins of the OLlo miners. He told me the same thing. After Haskins had been defeated for re-election and was re- lieved of all responsibility he advocat- ed a demand of 10 per cent Increase in Wages in his anoual address, but the convention of Ohlo miners refused to ludorse his position. Is this fact not significant? “Let us be honest about these things. Our wages bave been Increased more than 100 per cent, andl our hours of la- bor have been decreased from ten to eight hours since 1807. Is it right under this Ryan resolution to Jeopard. ize all these things? And let me tell you, the miners of this country have Lever won a prominent soft coal strike under the direction of President Mitch- ell. Mark Hanna settled the first an- thracite strike for us, and President Roosevelt settled the second. Nobody has settled our big soft coal strikes, because we have lost them. President Mitchell's Brst big soft coal strike was In the southwest It lasted eighteen months and ended In utter failure. Hundreds of good men were victim. ized. The second big soft coal strike was In Marylaud, where our people of the entire state were utterly defeated. His other disastrous soft coal strike was In Kentucky, whers our people were beaten, “In Colorado, where the organization spent over $500,000, our union was wiped off the face of the ea In West Virginia central district we were defeated. lo the Cabin Creek district, in West Virginia, where the orgaulza ton spent $300,000, we lost, In the Meyersdale region we spent $400,000 and were defeated, “Thé Plitsaburg districts bas been crit. icised because it has not more than 28,000 members.
