| 520 | 2 | |a The Mitchell Papers contain correspondence, printed materials, and photographs, the majority of which is correspondence that includes carbon copies of Mitchell's replies to correspondents as well as drafts of articles, speeches, meeting minutes, financial reports, and convention resolutions. A significant portion of the papers were microfilmed in 1974 and organized into five series: Correspondence, 1885-1919; United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) Minutes, Proceedings, Constitutions, and Reports, 1891-1908; Miscellaneous Minutes, Proceedings, and Reports, 1914-1919; Printed Matter, 1888-1912; and Photographs, 1896-1924. Recent processing efforts have resulted in revised dates, listed below, for most of these series. Also, the remaining part of the collection not microfilmed has since been largely organized into a sixth series titled Miscellaneous and Unprocessed, 1884-1924, and undated. The microfilm edition of the Mitchell papers is available in many libraries and the Guide to the Microfilm Edition (1974), edited by John A. Turcheneske, and is especially valuable in its content listing of the microfilm reels. Staff at the American Catholic History Research Center and University Archives of The Catholic University of America (CUA) prepared a corresponding box list, with both listings incorporated below. This finding aid is presented not as a finished product but as an effort to make the collection more accessible even though a complete folder listing is not yet available. | |

| 545 | |a John Mitchell was a legendary leader of the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA), serving as President from 1898 to 1908, and leading the fledgling union through one of labor history's most significant and successful strikes, the Anthracite Coal Strike of 1902. A man of conservative dress and demeanor, he wrote two books, Organized Labor (1903) and The Wage Earner (1913), articulating his view that capital and labor could work together in 'class collaboration' if both were linked in prosperity. He was born 4 February 1870 in the coal mining village of Braidwood, Illinois. His parents, Robert Mitchell and Martha Halley, were poor immigrants from Ireland come to work in the Illinois coal fields. His mother died shortly after John's birth and his father died when the boy was only six years old. Reared by his father's third wife, a strict Presbyterian stepmother, he had little opportunity for education and assisted his stepmother in doing the neighborhood washing. Thus he learned early the lesson of self-dependence as impressed by poverty and bereavement. He left home at age 10 and began working as a farm laborer and, by age 12, as a trapper boy, opening and closing small doors that controlled ventilation in a coal mine. | ||
