To the editor of the United Mine Workers’ Journal
Posters featuring labor leader John Mitchell advocating support of certain candidates in the upcoming election have been sent to various offices of the United Mine Workers of America. Mitchell asserts that these posters, along with a telegram that attributed to him, have been circulated without his authorization. Mitchell’s goal is to elect people to positions of power who will support labor causes, and he wants to avoid partisanship. He names several candidates that he is endorsing for Congress, and urges people to vote based on their principles and policies, rather than simply based on political party.
