The miners of the Colorado Fuel' ana Iron tRockefelltjr's) company are flocking back to the United Mine Worker's Union. Recent open organization meetings in the Colorado coal fields have beetf attended by representatives of the Rockefeller company as well as miners whose union affiliations were condemned In the historic Btrlke of 1913-14. "There Is no talk of a strike," said President McClennan of the state federation today. "The men are not threatened with discharge for Joining the United Miners. The C. F. & I. apparently Is making good on Its promise not to discrimi nate against union men. t "But the fact that the men In Mr. Rockefeller's mines are again join ing the union means that the com pany's 'industrial representation plan' isn't all that the men desire. The men feel that their representut tives In Mr. Rockefeller's union aro I selected rather than elected. The; miners want an organization of their own, supported by themselves. "Mr. Rockefeller's Industrial rep- ! resentation plan Is paternalistic. The miners feel they are being spied upon. Their representatives In the Rockefeller union are selected at small meetings which only a small proportion of the miners attend." McClennan stated that the Rocke feller company had Instituted great Improvements In. the. way of Y. M. C. A.'s moving picture shows and social service." ' "But the wages of the coal miners have no been Increased. Thny aro still being paid 55 cents per ton and the demand during the great strike was for a 10 per cent Increase on this amount. "One good thing the saloons In the Rockefeller camps have been abolished under the state prohibition law." i ' A feature of the convention today was the strict enforcement of the rule that every delegato must wear at lest five articles of clothing with the union label.
