OFFICE OF \
| GEORGES CREEK Coal AND IRON Co.,
LoNAcoNING, Md, Dec. 10, 1879.
To FRANCIS MYERS, PETER PHILLIPS,
JOHN F. MUIR, JAMES LEE, CHARLES
MCFARLAND, JOHN GORDON, and Others,
Gentlemen In return for Your very
generous gift let me say that while l az
preciate it as much as any one can, yet
must decline accepting it, My sentiments
regarding such presentations are very well
known and see no reason to change them.
As an official of this company for twenty
seven years I think have endeavored to
deal justly and equitably with ALL and
rarely has any question of individual in
terest been raised to mar the harmony
that ought to exist between the employer
and employed and, whenever they have
occurred, they have been ofthat character
that were of very difficult and doubtful
determination.
I feel, therefore, that am no more en-
titled to such q tangible proof Of your re-
gard than the humblest workn an in our
employ who may have done his duty in
the condition Providence has placed him.
But while I cannot accept your gift |
can never forget your kind sentiments of
esteem and appreciation of my effo1ts to
fulfil my obligations towards you.
The motive that may have prompted
you to this action may be over-estimated
by you. The conspicuous page l fill in
our learned Inspectors report is evidently
more the expression Of personal feeling
than of anything have dcne or neglected
to do. should not have alluded to it but
for the occasion offered by this very pleas
ant incident.
Sincerely hoping that in our personal
relations in the future as employer and
employed, (Which in the natural course of
time cannot be of long DURATION we may
cultivate the same feeling of mutual regard
as in the past, again tender you my most
heartfelt thanks. JOHN DOUGLAS,
Superintendent.

The Meyeradals miners get fftv and

demands seem to be just and will
doubtless be conceded.
