DOLAN Gives Up the Fight Patrick DOLAN, president of the Pittsburg district of the United Mine Workers for 10 years, has tendered his resignation and retired from the office Tuesday night. DOLAN issued a statement in which he says he was prompted solely by a regard for the best interests of the miners. He declares that he is certain his claim to the office would be sustained by an impartial tribunal, but to force the contest further would tend only to widen the factional differences. When DOLAN became president of the organization it was composed of less than 1,000 members, the treasury was bankrupt and the organization was in debt. After 10 years' service he leaves the district with over 20,000 members and a cash balance in the treasury of over $14,000. DOLAN always was a coal miner, and his ancestors worked in the mines. In closing his statement he says: My hopes and ambitions and sympathies have been identified with the men who labor in the coal pits, and although I may retire now from the official connection with the union, I will always be at heart a coal miner and a trades unionist, and should fortune ever place me in a position where I can be of help to my own people, my resources are always at their command.
