TIE funeral of Mrs. Mary Price,

death was hastily mentioned last week,
took place Monday afternoon at the
Presbyterian church. a large num-
Der of friends attended.
About four months ago while visit
ing Brazil, Ind, she sustained in
juries from fall which We're ag-
gravated by another after she return
ed home. These developed a can
cerous growth, the immediate cause of
death.
Mrs. Price was the daughter of the
late John H. Lewis. She was born
in Homecoming 81 years ago and be-
came resident of Frostburg 26 years
ago. Shortly after moving here she
joined the Presbyterian church and
remained a consistent member. She
was a lady of great. force of character
and her good influence will be missed
by a large circle of friends.
Six sons and two daue hters-all

There are other western States also

And there Is the Finance Committee

Perhaps one of the most valuable
summaries in the official statistics of
labor is that which Mr.. Carroll d.
Wright has just published on the
strikes of the last seven and u half
years. The report shows that 10 PEI,
cent. of all the strikes occurring during
this period took place in the five
States of Illinois. New York, Penn
sylvania, Massachusetts and Ohio,
which have about 81 per cent. of the in
duStrles of the country and Sc per cent.
OF the capital invested in mechanical
production. The number of men in
voIved in these strikes is placed at
2,39l 900 and the total loss from them
reached $35 100000 for employees and
S29, 900, 900 for employers. exclusive of
the losses from lockouts, which aggre-
gate about S,000,000. If these
enormous losses have done anything
to teach both parties to such con-
troversies the value of common sense
and mutual forbearance the money
has been well invested. 1t is certaln-
ly time to learn that neither the strike
nor the lockout is to be resorted to by
sensible and fair-miuded men as a
method Of ordinary business.

cherishing design to unite the Ohio

to provide competitive and cheaper
transportation for the great coal fields
of that section.n
