When the miners still continued to strike, Alabama Governor Braxton Bragg Comer sent in state militia members to break up the tent city, resulting in the end of the work stoppage.

Although the strike was defeated, the unity of the UMWA workers laid the groundwork for successful interracial organizing in the decades to come.

Read the excerpt from "Finding Unity in the Alabama Coal Mines.”The UMWA’s efforts were so successful that they influenced practices in other trade unions as well. In 1901, arguments raised by UMWA members led to the repeal of discriminatory practices at the Birmingham Trades Council, the organization to which all unions in the city of Birmingham belonged.Two years later, in 1903, the coal companies began to assert significant power against the union, denying union contracts and instituting policies of hiring only non-union employees. In 1908, under the auspices of the Alabama Coal Operators Association, company owners voted to cut worker wages by seventeen percent.
