THE S1rUATIoN.--Quite . large
number OF men have been refused
work. A number Of names are on
the "blacklists )" still, large proper
ton of those not tabooed have no
better luck, it being stated that there
are no places for them. The men
take the situation quite philosophi-
cally, The large majority will pro-
baby seek work else ghere.
The police Gre being sradually with
drawn.
An american interview represents
Mr., Mayer as stating that while the
companies victory was complete and
unquestioued, they would make every
effort to contribute to the comfort of
the men. The advantages as to hours,
pay and rules would be rigidly main
tanned, but in all other respects the
miners would be treated even better
than heretofore. In conclusion, he
expressed the hope that the men
would cheeriully accept tie situation
and recognize the justice of the stand
taken by the companies.
Mr.. F. e. Brackets adopted the
best plan. He saved both himself
and men some unpeasantness by poat-
ing at bis 1stnold dump the names
of fiity.sevon miners and six drivers
who could get work, with the not al
together discouraglng supplement that
more would be put to work soon as
possible"
A Baltimore San interviewer as
certairs that our companies do not
expect a very large demand for coal,
because buyers have made their con-
tracts elsewhere, but steady move
ment from the region by canal and
railroad is hored for.
The WASHER. - The following,
which was published recently in the
Youngstown Free Press, and ledicat-
ed to the "gang' Of "mashers' who
infest the depot every evening and
watch the girls get on and eff the
trains, might also be appropriately
dedicated TO the same class Of people
who frequently infest the doors of the
Frostburg churches at the close of the
evening services:
"What is that, mother"
"a masher, dear;
You may always find it landing here,
Poised Oh the corner of the street,
Proudly displaying its tiny feet;
Twirling its little ten.cent cane,
And Supplying its tender brain
With the smoke of Il paper cigarette
Don, touch it, dear, 1t was raised n pet"
"Will it bite, motherY
"Well l should shout;
II will bite free lunch for all that's out"
"Why doesn't Bernum buy the thing
And tie il M with piece Of string?
No other monkey in all his show
Would he such drawing card, knew.
But for me, I'd chew gum all my life,
Rather thau be masner's wife"
