VALLEY OF TRIBULA7ION!
JACKSONVILLE, o., Mar. 2, 1885.

NELSONvILLE, o., Mar. 2, 1885.
| To the Editors of the Standard:
| Having to-day returned from the Capt.
tai, and finding your paper, L thought
would pen few lines with reference to
our situation in our valley of tribulation
for such surely it has been, and to-day
is more so than ever. The reports that
went out over the land, within the last
few weeks, coupled with the severe
weather that prevailed, has truly increased
our sufferings tenfold. for as stated in my
card, our aid was so reduced in the
amount, (and right here let me correct an
error that appears in the same: where it
says 2OOO, it should read 10000 people, for
we had at our last district convention a
representation of 5000 miners, besides a
large number of laboring men that are
depending on us for support in addition
to their families, which by the way, as in
large), and then you can form some esti-
mate of the truth of my statement as re-
CARDS the extreme suffering entailed by
the sudden decrease in our supplies. I
understand there was slight increase
last week, but still fearfully deficient for
our wants, and let me say right here, al
though such has been the case, there has
been very little murmuring Some of
your readers may say, why don't the mi
ners 60 to work ?" Because they can not.
Then, as I heard one such say, "Why
don't they leave?" I will tell you the
reason. Because they can not. For if
they the fathers) leave, they can not
make, owing to the over-crowded condi-
tion of the mines in other districts, and
the depressed condition of the coal trade,
for their families after their ex-
penses are deducted. Now, dear friends
of Jackson County, while we return our
heartfelt thanks to you all for what you
have done for us, we inplore you in the
name of suffering humanity, do not for
get US in this our hour of ertrenae need.
The Legislative investigation has COM
but when it will end the Lord
only knows, for they adjourned on Friday
evening until the tenth of March, and
they proceed very slowly. We want the
public at large to know that we are will
ing to arbitrate and settle our troubles
whenever we get the chance. Now, dear
readers, cast in your mite, and may the
Lord reward you for your good deeds.
With kind regards to all friends. 1 remain,
IS ever, yours truly, A. JOHNSON,
District Secretary of No o. M. A. A.

There must be some way of getting rich coal

All good intelligent men-both miners and
