2 | The strike greatly enhanced the UMW. It grew from less than 10,000 members before the strike to become the nation's largest trade union, with over 100,000 members.

3 | The bituminous coal operators in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois recognized the UMW as the representative of the miners and their bargaining agent.]]> 2023-01-26 20:28:13 UTC https://padlet.com/Padua/nvx0kz6bi1uq/wish/2458183525 Padua https://padlet.com/Padua/nvx0kz6bi1uq/wish/2458185162 John Mitchell, a bituminous miner from Illinois, elected president of the UMW]]> 2023-01-26 20:29:46 UTC https://padlet.com/Padua/nvx0kz6bi1uq/wish/2458185162 Padua https://padlet.com/Padua/nvx0kz6bi1uq/wish/2458186565 Mitchell tried to bargain with the anthracite coal operators of northeastern Pennsylvania for a similar settlement that would recognize the union and improve wages, hours, and working conditions for the anthracite miners]]> 2023-01-26 20:31:09 UTC https://padlet.com/Padua/nvx0kz6bi1uq/wish/2458186565 Padua https://padlet.com/Padua/nvx0kz6bi1uq/wish/2458187794 The anthracite coal operators refused to negotiate, and on September 17 Mitchell called a strike of the anthracite miners. Those miners responded almost to a man. The strike was settled when representatives of Mark Hanna, the Chairman of the Republican Party and a bituminous operator from Ohio, urged representatives of J.P. Morgan, whose bank was reorganizing the railroads that owned most of the anthracite coal mines, to settle; and representatives of President William McKinley urged the anthracite operators themselves to settle. Neither Morgan, the operators, Hanna, nor McKinley wanted the strike to interfere with McKinley's reelection.

  | The anthracite operators viewed the events as a defeat, and one that was dictated to them by political motivations.
The result was a settlement that granted the anthracite miners a wage increase of about ten per cent, but which did not recognize the UMW as their representative]]> 2023-01-26 20:32:29 UTC https://padlet.com/Padua/nvx0kz6bi1uq/wish/2458187794 Padua https://padlet.com/Padua/nvx0kz6bi1uq/wish/2458195769 2023-01-26 20:40:42 UTC https://padlet.com/Padua/nvx0kz6bi1uq/wish/2458195769 Padua https://padlet.com/Padua/nvx0kz6bi1uq/wish/2458196584 2023-01-26 20:41:36 UTC https://padlet.com/Padua/nvx0kz6bi1uq/wish/2458196584 Padua https://padlet.com/Padua/nvx0kz6bi1uq/wish/2458197186 2023-01-26 20:42:17 UTC https://padlet.com/Padua/nvx0kz6bi1uq/wish/2458197186 Padua https://padlet.com/Padua/nvx0kz6bi1uq/wish/2458197603 2023-01-26 20:42:47 UTC https://padlet.com/Padua/nvx0kz6bi1uq/wish/2458197603 Padua https://padlet.com/Padua/nvx0kz6bi1uq/wish/2458198040 2023-01-26 20:43:16 UTC https://padlet.com/Padua/nvx0kz6bi1uq/wish/2458198040 Padua https://padlet.com/Padua/nvx0kz6bi1uq/wish/2458198417 2023-01-26 20:43:42 UTC https://padlet.com/Padua/nvx0kz6bi1uq/wish/2458198417 Padua https://padlet.com/Padua/nvx0kz6bi1uq/wish/2458198762 2023-01-26 20:44:08 UTC https://padlet.com/Padua/nvx0kz6bi1uq/wish/2458198762 Padua https://padlet.com/Padua/nvx0kz6bi1uq/wish/2458199057 2023-01-26 20:44:29 UTC https://padlet.com/Padua/nvx0kz6bi1uq/wish/2458199057
