		The UMWA was founded in Columbus, Ohio in 1890 by the merger of Knights of Labor Trade Assembly No. 135 and the National Progressive Union of Miners and Mine Laborers.

	John H. M. Laslett: The United Mine Workers of America
		Developing initially out of a conference commemorating the hundredth anniversary of the United Mine Workers of America, this collection of essays evaluates the history, development, and contribution to the labor movement of arguably America's most influential trade union.
		Its critical influence is shown in its pioneering role in the development of industrial unionism, in its efforts at interracial and interethnic organizing, and in its indispensable role in founding and guiding the CIO between 1935 and 1955.
		The essays-most commissioned especially for this volume-also examine the impact of mechanization on the coal industry, issues of health, safety, and company control, ethnic and race relations among the miners, the long-neglected role of women in coal-mining communities, and the influence of the leadership of John Mitchell and John L. Lewis.

	United Mine Workers v. Pennington
		We think it beyond question that a union may conclude a wage agreement with the multi-employer bargaining unit without violating the antitrust laws and that it may as a matter of its own policy, and not by agreement with all or part of the employers of that unit, seek the same wages from other employers.
		But there is nothing in the labor policy indicating that the union and the employers in one bargaining unit are free to bargain about the wages, hours and working conditions of other bargaining units or to attempt to settle these matters for the entire industry.
		It is just such restraints upon the freedom of economic units to act according to their own choice and discretion that run counter to antitrust policy.
