Mother Jones Has Battle With President of Union Disagrees With Policy of C oal Miners’ Head on Strike Situation in Colorado.

Posing as a peddler. Mother Jones went through the coal camps of southern Colorado to familiarize herself with the conditions under which the miners lived. Then she was influential in the calling of a strike of the coal miners, in cooperation with the metal miners. When efforts to terminate the strike in the northern part of the State were made by President Mitchell of the United Mine Workers. Mother Jones resisted them, urging a "fight to a finish." But her resistance (ailed. This is the sixth of Mother Jones’ memoirs. • * * By Mother Jones (Published by permission of Charles H. Kerr & Cos.. Chicago Copyright. 1025.) HE people of Colorado had I I voted overwhelmingly for an 1..... J eight-hour working day. The legislature passed an eight-hour law but the courts had declared it unconstitutional. Then when the measure was submitted directly to the people, they voted for it with 40,000 votes majority. But the next legislature, which was controlled by the mining interests, failed to pass the bill. The miners saw that they could not get their demands through peaceful legislation. That they must fight. That they must strike. All the metal miners struck first. The strike extended into New Mexico and Utah. It became an ugly war. The metal miners were anxious to have the coal miners join them in their struggle. The executive board of the United Mine Workers was in session in Indianapolis in 1903 and to this board the Governor of Colorado had sent a delegation to convince them that there ought not to be a strike in l tie Colorado coal fields. The executive board asked me to go to Colorado, look into conditions there, see what the sentiments of the miners were, and make a report to the office. Poses as Peddler I went immediately to Colorado, and to the office of The Western Federation of Miners, where I heard

I then got myself an old calico dress, a sunbonnet, some pins and needles, elastic and tape and such sundries, and went down to the southern coal fields of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company.

could not go away if dissatisfied. They must buy at company stores and at company prices. The coal they mined was weighed by an agent of the company and the miners could not have a check welghman to see that full credit was given to them. The schools, the churches, the roads belonged to the company. I felt, after listening to their stories after witnessing their long patience, that the time was ripe for revolt. Strike Is Called The strike was called Nov. 9, 1903, The demand was for an eighthour day, a check welghman representing the miners, payment in money instead of scrip. The whole State of Colorado was in revolt. No coal was dug. November is a cold month in Colorado and the citizens began to feel the pressure of the strike. Late one evening in the latter part of November I came Into the hotel. I pad been working all day and into the night among the miners and their families, helping to distribute food and clothes, encouraging, hold ing meetings. As I was about to retire. a long distance telephone call came from Louisville. The voice said. “Oh for God’s sake. Mother, come to us. come to us!” I got Mr. Howell, the Western Federation president, on the telephone and asxed him what was the trouble in Louisville. “They are having a convention there,” he said. “A convention, is It, and what for?” “To call off the strike in the northern coal fields because the operators have yielded to the demands.” Miners Accept Terms “But they cannot go back until the operators settle with the southern miners,” I said. “They will not desert their brothers until the strike is won! Are you going to let them do it?” • “Oh, Mother,” he almost cried. “I can't help It. It Is the national officers who have ordered them hack!” I went to the convention and heard the matter of the northern miners returning to the mines discussed. In the afternoon the miners called on me to ;tddress the convention. “Brothers.” I said, “you Englishspeaking miners of the northern fields promised your southern brothers, 70 per cfent of whom, do not speak English, that you would support them to the end. Now you are asked to betray them. You have a common enemy and it is your duty to fight to a finish.” The delegates rose en masse to cheer. The vote was taken. The majority decided to stand by the southern miners, refusing to obey the national president. Three times President Mitchell tried to mnke the northern miners return to the mines, but each time he was unsuccessful. Finally an ultlYnatun was given to the northern miners. All support for the strike
