    1. New Contracts in Jellico
    2. New Contracts in Jellico Knoxville, Tenn., Nov. 20. - The United Mine Workers District 19, with headquarters at Jellico, this afternoon announced that new contracts have been signed with operators of three mines in Kentucky and that negotiations are under way for new contracts with two others. It was said by union organizers that approximately 800 men were affected by the contracts signed and that an additional 250 would be enrolled if pending negotiations with the two other companies carry through. Operators deny this indicates break in their ranks and say union estimates are far too high. The Kingsport Times Friday November 21, 1919 Page 1 Vol. 4 No.56
