THE Barton correspondent of the
Piedmont Uera}d, with whom the
JOURNAL frequently disagrees, some
times packs good deal of pungent
remark in a small space. Last week
he said:
Rad air company stores, a Garrett county
farmer for Allegany Mine Inspector boys
under age in the mine; school examiner
who gets 81 800 per annum, whilst the teach
ers, who do all the work, hardly get enough
to live upon the Lonaconing Star, with its
Sunday school editorials, built up upon moth
ing to the size of the Rcricr, and the R,,pc,r,
published in Lonaconng, with its news i'm
ported from Pennsylvania; the Frostburg
JOURNAL, the Big and the Historiographer
appear to be all dead. Peace to their ashes
Here are wrongs and calamities,
real and imaginary, all strung to-
gether, but two things strike the
JOURNAL most forcibly--the liter
ally true description of the Rerjew
and the apparent decedence of the
JOURNAL.
Take almost any copy of the Re-
rieW and the reader will find an
article that ought to be capped "The
Miseries of Houtzdale," "The Sor-
rows of Irwin" or the "Woes of
Phillipsburg,' etc.
All this sort of thing is imported
and dumped out upon our peaceable,
industrious, prosperous people-for
what purpose
There is no other conclusion avail
able but that it is to make our people
unhappy in spite of prosperity; to
make them feel that it is the aim and
end of employers to oppress their en-
ployees; that the mismanagement Of
men and mines in Pennsylvania, if
any, is the manifestation of what is
in the hearts of all employers every
where, Georges Creek included.
1t appears to be constant, per-
sistent effort to fire our people with
the notion that, Notwithstanding they
are doing well at 80 cents per ton
notwithstanding they get their pay
on or about the 18th of every month
with unvarying regularity, and not
withstandlng all the advantages they
enjoy i'll this region over and above
any other coal field in the world are
not the fruit of any strike, but the
voluntary concessions of the employ
ing Observation-Disclosures all
these things, we affirm, our people
must be constantly taught that op-
preston, being abroad in the land,
they must be unhappy and discon-
tented as possible; that blows struck
at labor in Pennsylvania, Ohio, ETC.,
must be considered as felt in Mary
land.
This is all wrong, horribly wrong,
and the worst of all is-it appears to
be part of the scheme to keep the
Noble Order afiOat.
