IN SHADOW OF CALVARY
SOLEMN SERVICES ARE HELD IN
THE CHURCHES OF ST.
PAUL
SERVICE OF TENEBRAE SUNG
First of the Solemn Services of Holy
Week at the CathedraI-Ma-
sons Mark Maundy
Thursday.

1T has been well said that greater love
hath no man than this, that a man lay
down his life for his friend. How much
greater the love, how much more COM
plete the sacrifice. when the life offered
up is the divine life, the friend suffering
humanity" said Archbishop Ireland, in
his sermon at the Cathedral last evening,
and the worshipers that crowded the
church emphasized by their presence the
mysterious potency of that sacrifice of
nineteen centuries ago. -Four Cathedral
priests, assisted by a large number Of
seminarans, chanted the Tenebrae, a
chant made up Of psalms the lamenta-
tions of jeremiah and the wall over the
destruction of Jerusalem. The service
was deeply solemn. At first the altar was
ablaze with candles whose light accen-
tuated the shrouded statues. But, as the
chant continued, one after another of the
candles were put out, and the church
grew DINNER and DINNER until finally
but one candle remained lighted. The
Pater Noster was chanted, and then the
last candle flickered out, the lights in
the church grew dim, and only the gleam-
ing robes of the priests and the white
the dusk, relieved the gloom. For a sec
ond the darkness was complete, then from
the sacristy came a glimmer of light that
strengthened into a glow, the whole SYM
bolical of the hope that was given to the
world by reason Of the divine tragedy.
Besides the archbishop, Fathers LAWYER,
Meade, Dolan and Schaefer took part in
the services last evening, assisted by
large number of seminarians. The arch
bishop, in his sermon, explained the va
rious services held during holy week
1T is the week. he said, "of Christ's
victory over sin, the week of the great
atonement. Christ did not die for an alb
Straction, for humanity in general He
died for you, for me, for every man. Let
us do what we can, my brethren, to real
lie His sacrifice. Let US live these days
with Jesus, for Jesus.
The archbishop recommended the con-
gregation to read the four gospels which
tell Of the suffering and death Of Christ,
and to visit the churches as much as
possible. This season has been insti-
tuted by the church." said the speaker,
Ito bring home to us forcibly the death
of Christ. The church teaches by SYM
bOls. She cannot show us Calvary but,
by her ceremonies, she makes the mean
Ing Of that Calvary clearer" Beginning
With Palm Sunday, Archbishop Ireland
explained the significance of each day of
holy week and the special ceremonies
practiced in the church each day In
conclusion, he exhorted the congregation
to prepare themselves that they might
celebrate Easter Sunday with tri-
umphant consciousness that comes from a
complete freedom from sin.
The Tenebrae will be chanted tonight
and tomorrow night Today the sacred
oils used during the year in the various
sacraments will be blessed large
number OF priests will take part
The host will be taken from the altar
and carried in solemn procession to the
repository

FIVE THOUSAND ARE OUT
GEORGES CREEK REGION MINERS
STRIKE FOR BETTER WAGES
AND RECOGNITION
STRUGGLE IS A MIGHTY ONE
VIII he No Trouble Unless Nom
Union Miners Are Imported
Strained Situation In Chi
cage Continues.

FROSTBURG, Md, April -11-Five
thousand miners of the Georges Creek
region, struck tonight and began what
promises to be a protracted strike for an
increase of wages and, incidentally, re-
cognidon by the operators of the United
Mine Workers of America. The operators
say they will not endeavor to work the
mines, but will let them remain idle until
the men get tired of inactivity. and re-
turn to work Of their own volition On
the other hand the men state they are
prepared to continue the contest indefi-
nltely.
The trouble began In August of last
year when the miners addressed a cir
cular to the operators asking for d con-
ference to discuss the wage scale. The
operators promised to increase the scale
as soon as the prosperity which was be-
Ing felt by other lines OF trade should
affect the coal business. Almost imme-
diately the miners began organizing
under the auspices of the United Mine
Workers union. Several circulars were
afterward ADDRESSED 10 the operators, and
on Feb. rs they posted notices in all
mines, announcing that the rate would
be increased on April 1 from 45 cents to
So cents per ton. Since that time the
miners claim that conditions have
changed and that the operators of the
neighboring, Clearfleld, Pa, region are
paying 60 cents for the same work. They
again asked for a conference, on March
81, but the operators ignoring 1t, mnsg-
meeting was held In Lyconing on that
day.
The consolidation company discharged
20 men and suspended about 100 for alb
senting themselves from work to attend a
mass meeting and 8 strike Of 1900 men
resulted few days ago. The operators
declining to meet committee of miners
and Frostburg citizens yesterday, the
labor leaders ordered the general lock-
out for tonight.
The feeling OF the men is bitter, and
the issue does not now seem to be so
much the advance in wages as it Is the
recognition of the organization that the
men viii demand at the hands of the
operators.
Mass meetings were held at several
points tonight and much enthusiasm pre-
vailed. The men are quiet and orderly
and If the operators adhere to the re-
solve not to import miners to take the
place Of the strikers the struggle will re-
solve Into a test of endurance.
