good and whatever effort they

criticism is attempted on public official
in the discharge of public duty, the facts
should be stated fairly. I don't think it
should be said that that was the judg-
ment of Judge Robert Falligant, or Of
Capt Robert Falligant, as it was the
judgment of the entire commission.

Judge Falligant said he was surprised
as well as gratified TO hear the expression
from the grand jury, which to him was
entirely unexpected.

COKE STRIKERS WEAKEN.
The Defeat of the Men Now Consid-
cred a Certainty

Uniontown, Pa, May l9.-Since the be-
ginning Of the strike in the coke region.
about one month ago, the situation has
never appeared so unfavorable to the
strikers as this evening That they will
lose the contest now seems a GER
tainty. The action of the Cleveland
convention in refusing TO recog-
nize the strike, its cutting OF all
offers and promises of financial support, is
regarded here as the killing blow. The
people who have been the most sanRIIine
now give up the battle as lost. By noon
to-day every camp was broken and the
strikers had returned 10 their homes, dis
heartened and discontented. The i'm.
portation Of new men was also a
factor of Encouragement. II is predicted
tonight that the strike will not
last longer than next week. There is a
sentiment among former Frick employees
favorable 10 returning 10 work and carry.
ing out their agreement with the com
papy. The Prick men hold the
balance Of power, and If they
return to work the strike Is
hopelessly lost. Many of the strikers
and their families are in a starving con-
dition, and some of them almost homeless,
by reason of eviction from the company
houses

that the only two concerns making steel
billets in this vicinity, at least in quanti-
ties worth considering, are Jones 10
Laughlin's and the Carnegie Steel Com

trouble to obtain billets. Those operating
with gas for fuel are equally hampered
because the mills and furnaces operated
with coal and coke cannot furnish the
raw material. The situation now is mo

Falligant said
Mr.. Foreman, and gentlemen of the
grand Jury: ! thank you in behalf Of the
county Tor the able and thorough manner
in which you have discharged your
duties. which is evidenced by the full and
complete presentments which you have
returned.
I'm reference to theurother matter,
which is personal TO myself and my asso-
ciates on the registration commission, |
can only say it is always pleasant TO have
expressions of confidence from our fellow
citizens, particularly from those who are
in official positions.
The duty of acting as commissioners Of
registration was unsought by US, and
was imposed on US by law, and while |
had some doubts as to whether 1t could
properly be imposed upon the Judges Of
the courts, the duties were prescribed by
law and it was my desire TO do what |
could to facilitate the public good. l
recognize the fact that any public
Official should be subject TO public
scrutiny and l never grumble at fair
criticism. In this speak also for my as
sociates who am sure would be glad TO
be corrected / approve any legitimate
EFFORTS of the press TO criticise in proper
way the acts of a public Official, but
think those criticisms should always be
honest and fair. have nothing unkind
70 say of anyone but, in the editorial you
mention there was some unfairness in at
tempting TO divorce the action of the
registration commission from Official
duty.
