\ COMMUNICATION
Received from the Coal Miners at the
Richland Mines
IN ANSWER TO MIR. DUFFY'S Elk
PLANTATION TO THE PUBLIC OF
THE SITUATION AT RICHLAND.
OTHER LABOR NOTES OF INTER
EST FROM BOTH LOCAL AND
FOREIGN INDUSTRIES.

s: The following communication was re-
ceived yesterday from the miners at
Richland mines, in response to the
communication of Mr. Duffy, chairman
of the Arbitration Committee of the
0. V. T. & l.. A:
To the Editor of the Register
Strive, the miners of the Richiand
coal works. will endeavOr to correct
some of Ele statements made by Mr..
Duffy, chairman of the Arbitration
tCommittee of the o. V. T. & l.. A.
We acknowledge that there was mis-
take about Samuel Webb being dis
charged in July, but we do not know
whether it was our fault or the fault
of the press. We would like to state to
the public that instead of the Trades
Assembly being a benefit to the min
ersa it. is injurious to them. The fact
is this, that when union miners are out
on strike they will use any COAL
/ whaG1ner it be union or non-union,
E14ch makes many miner lose his
bb or go in under price, and makes
ymRny a miners child go to bed crying
for something to eat. The above state
/ ment about them using union or nom
union coal was told to two of the miners
by the Arbitration Committee. If Mr.
Duffy is so wise and we are so igno-
rant, why does he not publish our con-
tract that we signed last July, to-wit,
& that we were to work under price until
the first day of April, 1899? We chal-
lenge him to do so.
We will state a few points that are
made in this contract. Our contract
states that we were not to strike until
the first day of April 1899, and also
that we were to be controlled by two
thirds of the mines in this district as
regards to price. Mr.. Gilchrist claimed
the right to discharge man for just
cause The Trades Assembly thought
it was a just cause, for they declared
the strike off, a thing which they never
published. Five weeks after that they
declared a lockout. After they declared
a lockout they came around to the
miners homes and got them to sign a
petition to Mr.. Gilchrist, asking for an
honorable settlement. They told the
miners that they were doing nothing
wrong and to work on. One of the
miners said that he would sign the pc
tition and quit work if he was doing
anything wrong, and they said no, to
work on. that he was doing nothing
wrong. This same miner would like to
KNOW III ne was uOlHS HOtHluS WIOnS
then, what has he done since that was
wrong?
The said miner has two witnesses
who are willing to take oath to that
effect. We now ask the Arbitration
Committee of the o. V. T. & l.. A.
/as gentlemen, to withdraw the state
ment that they made declaring us I'M
fair workmen. or "scabs."
& We are right, and we think we de-
serve this correction.

fry but slightly. Pour over all a cup
of rich milk or cream and add more
butter and little salt and pepper.
Let this all boil UP once and serve hot.
Boiled Onions-Peel and wash eight
or ten onions. cover them with boil
Hing water we'll sailed and let them
boil until tender, then drain quite dry
and pour over them cup of milk, add
little flour and small piece of but
ter and season with salt and pepper;
let this come to boil and serve hot.
A little onion now and then is very
healthful article of food, and not in
furious, as many believe. Onions used
Judiciously, are quite as important in
the art of cooking as salt and pepper.
All good cooks approve of the use
of the onion, and it is often this de-
llghtful vegetable which makes many
a dish successful and imparts to it
an appetizing flavor which it otherwise
would not have. And quite often it is
the case that those persons, to whom
the onion is disgusting vegetable.
will sometimes manage TO partake of
the second or third dish of a delicious
salad in which it is carefully con-
cealed, and who would never under
any circumstances touch it were the
presence of that vegetable known.
An excellent way to peel onions so
as not to affect the eyes is to hold
them under water while peeling them.
This may be done by putting them in
pan full of water and taking care
TO hold them under the water while
they are being peeled.

This cold weather sharpens the APP
petite to such great extent as to make
the housewife bestir herself to
provide dishes of savory
nature in order TO encour-
age the healthful appetite of her fam
lily. Cold meats of any sort are very
distasteful served for dinner in win
ter. and unless very skilfully managed
will prove a failure. The following rec
ipe for pork and beans is just the thing
to serve on cold night:
Pick two quarts of white beans over
the night before and put them to soak
in cold water; in the morning scald
them, drain off the water and pour
over them more hot water; put with
them piece of salt pork, gashed, as
much as would make five or six slices;
boil slowly until the beans are soft,
but not mashed; take them from the
stove and put in a deep pan with the
pork in the oven and let them bake for
about an hour or until they are nice
brown. The beans cooked in this way
will be found very fine, the pork giving
them the desired flavor. MARTHA.

And people wore armlets. and anklets

And ladies went round with their hair all
undone.
And of mornings wore wimples and vel

There was never knife nor fork in

And when pasties and tartlets and such
were produced,
Each lady and lord used lily white

To this were our noble ancestors re-
duced.

Would alarm and quite frighten an old

There are forks to stabs olives and oys-
tiers and pie:
There are queer things with three prongs,
and sharp-ponited spoons.
And g great many things that make you
think .Why?'
But it's really bore Qf it is very

And sometimes we wish-when we've

To eat lemonade or ice cream with a

of light and Mt times would glow Il
fiery red and then fade away. repeat

finally disappeared. During the lnrid
period the central body could be easily
seen, the light Indinting throughout
the entire mass, which appeared To be
about three feet long anu six inches
wide. 1t was also observed while the
glow was on that these strange bodies
appeared to be moving, the agitation
being easily distinguishable with the
naked eye. The entire zenith was
overcast, although outside tho area the
sky was clear.
Great crowds gathered Mt the street
corners and many were appalled, at the
strange sight. A number of negroes
resOrted to prayer as means Of pro-
