JUNE 4, 1910.
Mr. EDlroR An article appeared
in the JOURNAL Of last week signed
met Weight" in which the writer
says that weighing coal on Georges
Creek is sham" AT most of the
mines there is no weighing coal at all
and you can also see docks for light
weight. This is a point upon which
would like to have information from
some of the Georges Creek miners
how they can be dockod for light
weight when their coal is not weighed.
Now, gentlemen. if you are mining
coal by the ton, the miners of the
Frostburg district want to know it: il
you are not mining by the ton let lis
know by What method you are min
ing. Take an example from BALKAN s
ass and speak out. How can one OF
you hold up your head and say that
you are digging coal by the ton when
your coal is not weighed? You know
you are committing a fraud on the
other miners Of the county. Know ye
also, miners of Frostburg district and
Of the United States, that the free,
born miners Of Georges Creek when
they draw pillar they have to lay NJ
their own track and timber up the old
room at their own expenso-a thins
unknown in the upper Fart Of the
coal field.
Now, gentlemen, we are interested
in this business. If you continue do
ing it we mus: follow suit" Are
Won determined to bring these griev'

The Kauawba Chronicle calls at.eu.
tion 10 the fact that the (so.called) Bonrd
of Public Works, created by the Legisla-
tire in violation Of the State constitution,
has appointed five men: hers Of that body as
directors Of the Hospital for The Insane,
aud made other similar appointments, a.
mOng which it might have mentioned gu
perintendent of the Penilentiary. The
Chronicle remarks hat tho constitution
having provided that officers shall not be
elected or appointed by the Legislature, "it
would seem that this, provision should be
construed to mean, in connection with 9th
er provisions, that the Legislature should
DOT, directly by its own vote or indirectly
by board created, like the Board Of Pub
lie Works, by ia own vote, elect its own
members to Office" Ii is not to be pre-
sumed, of course, that these appointments
by the j iard were the result cf any cor
