The following resolution adopted
at a mass meeting of miners of the Consolidation Coal Company, a
Rockefeller interest, held at Acosta,
Somerset County, Pennsylvania, on October 9, constitutes the answer of
the Company's employees on strike since April to the Company's
suggestion that it will settle only on a basis of dealing with
individuals.
Representatives of the striking miners in New
York saw officials of the Consolidation Company and reported back to the
miners in Somerset County. The mass meeting was the result of the
report.
These miners together with those of the Berwind-White
Coal Company are part of the 20,000 non-union men who struck for union
recognition, along with 45,000 in the Connellsville field also still on
strike.
