s that which has long been the great desideratum OF
the anthracite coal mining regon-a permanent SCH
supporting growing relief fund. for the manned, the
widowed, and the orphaned in the mines--a FUND on
which these unfortuDates shall have JUST

they may receive, not as reluctantly dojeo-

Fortunately, the board OF Managers are gentlemen IN
whose abilities aud character the community have nm
bounded confidence Yetwe have single criticism 10
make on the composition Of the Board. We urgently De
sire 10 see the miners strongly represented IN the
Board That class OF population cal furnish as intel

sons for their having strong representation In the
BOARD are obvious They better than Others know the
wants needs and wishes OF their cass and their counsel

administering the trust. ...
