The Projected Union.

just now forms leading topic in min
ing circles The Ocean meeting fail
ing to accomplish the object of its call,
was adjourned after the adoption of a
resolution to hold another in this place
this evening, when the projectors hope
to form at least the nucleus Of an or
ganization.
No one can fairly look with disfavor
upon an establishment of this charac-
ter if erected and sustained upon le-
gitimate basis. By this we mean, if
it is designed and supported as mu-
tual, independent, home organization,
much real benefit may be obtained.
We do not think it should be formed
with the sole object Of regulating,
maintaining or debating the rates of
wages, although this point should not
be ignored, but it should carry in its
bosom the genius of systematic benev-
olence. 1t is probably more duty to
ameliorate the bereavement of the
widow and orphan, or distress of the
sick, than to augment the wages of the
live, well miner. Still, every provis-
ION which confers the most good upon
the greatest number, without unduly
stralnlng or enervating our great in
dustry, cannot be fairly discounten-
anced. An institution Of this charac-
ter to be effective must be cordially
supported, wisely managed and tenn
peratelv conducted. AS such, it can
not fail to attract the sympathy it
would thus deserve.
If, however, it bears organic con-
nection with institutions of the same
sort anywhere outside of this region,
its members will certainly find they
have incurred burdensome obligations.
The oft-recurring strikes resulting
from the caprices Of workers in I'M
steady localities will continually ex-
tort heavy tax which it will be nei-
Their polite or charitable to pay
They will thus find their hard earn
jnss levied upon to support demorali-
zation Of classes which, when they re-
sumo, promote rival trade. Why
should the miners Of Maryland and
Pennsylvania unite in mutual organ
ization? What common protective
interests have they Not one parti-
Gle; on the contrary, each is com
petitor as distinct as the Bituminous
and Anthracite Goals which they dig
When the Pennsylvania miners from
the fluctuation to which their "basis"
IS continually liable, strike for better
rates, they will look to Maryland men
to join in their war when all is peace
and fairness at home they will involve
you in difference to which you are
not party. With your steady run of
labor in coal which maintains itself
against material variation Maryland
men may easily stand Independent of
all organizations, save those which are
se]f-rrotective and self-promotive.
Without rresuming to suggest too
much to our intelligent mining friends
we yet caution them to beware of for
eign influences in their meeting this
evening. Its gravely intimated such
are lurking in the neighborhood. II
their mouth-pieces succeed in entrap-
ping YOU they will doubtless be well
paid for what might soon prove a
good job for the Pennsylvania coal

+ al OF tine Strike,

eFra-ss recently existing between lHe
/ operators and miners of the New
Central Coal Company at Midlothian
Mines is an event Of great satisfaction
to all By very many it was feared
as an outcrop Of Generalization, the
development Of which would be dis
astrous to the coal interests of this
section. The apprehension that Penn
svlvania influences We're insidiouslv
at work to impair our trade added to
the fear that our miners might be led
to steps which would involve their
welfare personally with the inevitable
injury that would thus be sustained
by the trade. In fact, none are more
dependent upon the successful and
prosperous working of the mines than
they, yet in the heat of excitement,
men sometimes sacrifice their best in.
terests to support expedients which do
not iced or clothe the body They do
this to exhibit an independence which,
after all, they do not possess.
In the instances recently before us
we find them acting coolly and CON
scienfiously. If they acre reused to
action, it did not reach immoderation.
If they were melted by "tramps,
they saw for themselves before strik-
ing We see nothing boisterous in
their demands or mobocratic in their
department to their employers. The
remarks made at the Ocean meeting
are confessedly sensible, calm and con-
siderate. We see them there under
the impression they should form a
Union" This project may be wise
or unwise-that has nothing to do
with the matter. When we find this
principle in the shape of an honest
conviction we deal with the aciSdon' of
the thing as dogs bay the moon. The
conviction must be destroyed by show
ing them that fraud is neither prac-
tised or meditated upon them. The
terms offered by Maj. SHAW to a body
Of men who conscientiously believed
the Company was getting more than
due weight were such as to exhibit
beyond the shadow of a doubt the
Company desired to pay for all the
coal sent out This overthrow their
convictions in the only manner it
could be done, and nothing was left
but for them to go to work.
On the other hand we find the Pres
ident and Superintendent acting
with circumspection, lest they comply
with demands the future would dem
onstrate as both improbable and un-
reasonable. Misunderstanding may
haye occurred as they nearly always
do in such cases, bat they are the trus-
tees not simply Of their own, but most
ly Of their Company S interests, in
which case it is sometimes harder to
judge rightly than when acting alone
for ourselves. But, when it came to
a correct understanding, the officers
afforded that which the men saw was
right. There was then nothing to
compromise--each was to have his due.
1t would be difficult to determine
which deserves more credit, EMPLOYERS
or employees, for conclusion so cor
rect and satisfactory-one founded up
on basis which can never be shaken
without detection Of deliberate fraud
The temperate spirit shown by both
parties is highly commended by all
sensible obsery ers, and may be refer
red to with pride as exhibiting fair
demands on one side, cheerful acqui-
essence on the other resulting in ex-
