Editor Frostburg Jowna! There
appeared in your paper last week 6
communication over the signature OF
"A Republican Taxpayer and Nom
Seeker Of Office" which, in its refec-
tons upon me, demands some notice
at my hands.
1t is not my desire to set on foot an
investis cation into the pri late afair
my sssai4ant, who, under any cir
INSTANCES. ought to be the last per
son to throw a stone at his neighbor
on the score of personal honesty.
Neither is it my wish to make pub
lie exhibition of my private affairs
further than to protect myself from
he injurious impl ession that may be
eft upon the public mind by the harsh
,nsinuations of Republican Tax
payer"
During the past FIVE years many de-
CRYING, worthy and honest men, have

not be met BY the strongest defensive
measures on the part Of the people
Their claim 10 pure, plain and
simpls-a fair proportion Of the profits
Of their labor.
r. Last Monday at the Baltimore and
Ohio grain elevator in Baltimore a
number of men whose duty it is to
apply the machinery for unloading
cars, struck for an advance of wages
from $l.04 to $l.25 per day. The
company refused to allow it. The
facts are: Two men are required to
unload q car, for which they receive
about Eve cents each, but the COM
pany gets for the labor Of its machin-
cry from Eve to seven dollars per
car. The two men are indispensable i;
otherwise. the machinery could not
b applied. yet the company. so &C
customed to enormous profits from
their services, refused to give the lit
tic advance Of q cents per day asked.
The relative compensation here is
out of all proportion, and the worst
is, it holds good in many other cases
Of which We know nothing.
In the interest of society, them
selves and families, laborirg men
should unite to abolish conditions
like these. It is not only interest,
but duty. In the convention held
here the other day there was the calm,
inaexibls purpose exhibited to take
q step toward reform of labor-life.
Their aims are still crude. it may be;
some policies not best to pursue, per-
haps, but the motives arc good. They
will ultimately find party OF the
people, OF. failing in this, organize
one that will have heavy bearing on
future issues.
