THEY APPEAL.
Chairman Lee Issues a Circular to Or
ganized Labor

READING. Jan. 10.
John L. Lee of the Philadelphia & Reading
employees and one of the executive board has
issued an appeal ito organized labor wher-
ever found" 1t recapitulates the circum-
stances of the railroaders and miners from
the beginning of the strike, and severely
criticizes the Reading Company for the course
pursued toward the employees and charges
onspiracy on the par, of the
Reading Company and the Lehigh operators
to break up the knights and concludes as
follows:
The gauntlet has been thrown down by
this gigantic monopoly to wipe out organized
labor. Miners who are noted for their stay
ing qualities are united with the railroaders
in great battle for recognition of organized
labor. We now appeal to every man iu the
land who loves liberty and fair play, to rem
der all assistance possible, both morally and
financially TO prevent monopoly from crush
ing out the spirit of organization among the
down trodden miners and ralroaders of the
Philadelphia & Reading system.
Free men are you going TO permit this in
justice to be perpetrated upon law abiding
people who are refused the right to meet to-
gether as an organized body: Are you 90
ing TO remain silent and inactive while go
600 men are suffering innumerable indign-
ties brought about by heartless and soules ;
corporations: Bear in mind fellow work
men that this is a life or death struggle for
the recognition of organized labor and men
in the anthracite valley, who determined to
uphold dignity and labor and await with deep
anxiety liberal response that should come
from every sympathetic member of the
common brotherhood We ask nothing but
what are entitled to under the constitu-
ton and laws of the commonwealth. This
is denied because we earn our bread by the
sweat of our brow Workingmen think of
this and ask yourselves, is it not your duty
to enlist yourselves in the struggle with the
bread winners. who are struggling for rccog-
milton in alienable rights? Rouse a call for
public meetings in your towns and cities,
and pass resolutions to assist the men who
are forced into idleness because they had the
moral courage to assert that labor had rights
that capital should respect.

that when from the pages OF her manu-
script she read the death OF little Eva the

mourniully separated, going TO their

the funeral of a dear friend. Some
friends met Thackeray on the street one
day, and his countenance bore traces OF

4" That Word ,-Araiu.
To the Editor of the Dispatch :

There has been n ripple OF comment
concerning the proposed "new pro-
noun" A word OF explanation may not
he ont OF place. We have no pronoun
OF the common gender and singular
number in the English language. The
absence OF such a word leads to many
awkward circumlocutions. To obviate
this difficulty philologsts have sug-
gested several new words, none OF which
seem to be quite rs applicable as the
word "MOu, compounded from "Maf, J"
and "oHe" by Mr.. G. c. Converse,
lawyer. This word was much discussed
several years ago and much amusement
was caused by using it-a practice which,
however, shows our need Of such
word. II is easily declined Nomitive
"MOu." Possessive thous. Objective thou.
Its use will be seen in the following SEN
fences: If John or Mary will meet me
| will go with thor. Whoever desires to
hear Professor Blackwell tonight must
secure hOus ticket to-day. We agree
with tho Dispatch in thinking that the
verb "desires clearly points out
"whoever as being in the singular
number. Therefore let the pronoun be
singular also. Then let "thOu" come
to our rescue. Professor March says Of
it, 81 do not know that any other
yocabIe would have so good a chance for
this vacancy" However, if any one
can suggest better word let us at once
hear from "thou." l.. LEIGH Il.
