THE PRESIDENT.
Some time ago members United Mine Workers were working under contract with Victor American Coal Company, which continues for at least one year at Gallup, New Mexico. This company sold mine and immediately new concern discharged members our union and evicted them from their homes. We furnished tents for them and they were living peaceably therein. Yesterday Sheriff and company forcibly loaded eighty members our union on cars and deported them. We will not countenance this outrage. Demand Federal Government intervene and provide these men be returned to their homes. Unless this is done I will favor strike of coal miners United States until this outrage is righted. Please advise quickly what will be done.
Wm. Green,
International Secretary-Treasurer,
United Mine Workers of America.
