Public Mcctiup

Quite large number of the business
element of Frost burg's population as
sembled in the Gladstone annex hall
Friday evening of last week to give
expression to the public desire for Il
meeting between the coal mining oper-
ators and operatives of the Georges
Creek Coal region.
On the motion Of Joseph Bear, John
Chambers was called to the chair and
G. o. Towles chosen secretary.
The chair stated the object of the
meeting in strong plea to the bust
ness men to unite in an etfor; to get
the operators and miners together.
Mr.. Bear then moved the appoint
ment Of a committee of five on resolu
tious to include chairman and secre
tary. Carried.
When the chair had named three the
committee comprised Messrs. John
Chambers, chairman G.. 0. Towles,
secretary : Messrs J. B. Oder, ID. F.
McMullen and d. E. Shaffer.
After a short retirement committee
reported the following paper:
WHEREAS, In obedience to call of what
we believe to be public duty the citizens of
Frostburg whose business trades and pro-
LESSONS are dependent upon the principal
industry of the region, have here assembled
to lend their favor to any honorable policy
whereby the current unhappy relations be-
tween the coal mining employers and EN-
ployees of the Georges Creek coal region may
he abated, to the end that the suspension of
labor now threatened may be averted. With
this object in view, and without any purpose
whatever to intervene between the parties at
issue, it is hereby
Resolped, That in the adoption of this paper
we respectfully suggest to the coal mining
companies that the request of the miners for
meeting, seeming to us not unreasonable,
should be granted, believing tina conference
OF that character may result in not only pres
ent but permanent good. In further purSu-
ance OF our purpose 1t is
ResOlyed That a committee of five represent
alive citizens not directly Interested in our
mining industry, be appointed to engroSs and
transmit this paper to the several presidents
of the coal companies with the assurance EN-
phasiZed that we entertain the hope that they
will do all in their power to alay Il strain
which threatens paralysis of trade, loss to
companies, miners and dependent business,
and, worse than all, continued hostility OF
employee to employer.
A motion, made and seconded to
adopt paper AS read, was discussed at
some length by MeSsrs. 7. H. Morgan,
George Stern. j. H. Weigand, Joseph
Bear. Fl. f, Cook, p. O'Rourke, Peter
Lammert and others, some urging it
should be made stronger.
1t was length adopted and the
same committee charged 20 carry out
the terms of the second resolution,
also TO furnish copy TO the miners
meeting in progress in Meats Opera
House.
Adjourned.
Copies of the paper, endorsed by
nearly 60 citizens, were mailed Satur-
day afternoon to the executive officer
of each coal company in the region.

The JOURNAL erred last week in its
three new wells. The mistake oc-
cured in dumping" the wells aud
making II statement in proportion.
The "small fraction over S gallons a
minute" should have been wrought
out as over II gallons Il minute, over
| no gallons an hour, and over 81 800
gallons II day.
The tallacy in the JOURNALS calcu-
latlOn is based upon the fact that in
dumping" the three for quick solu-
ton the result was the acerage .f0to Of
One ,ceU.
This will be seen in the following
figures submitted by Mayor Nickel
who finds flow Of
3 gallons in Is seconds from No /.
81 gallons in 20 seconds from No. ,.
81 gallons in - seconds from No g.
Wrought out properly, it is equiva-
lent to a flow of - gallons minute,
,335 gallons an hour, -, 040 gallons Il
day.
Stated. however
Seconds. Seconds. Gallons. Gallons.
So 60 : ~ 7
the result comes down to 100 gallons
an hour, l0,0SO gallons day.
The JOURNAL is thus particular be-
cause it wants to show that no inius-
tice was intended in its criticism of a
campaign document
At the same time it insists that "the
red shale people, will never believe
the red shale was reached by the deep
we'll.
Moreover, they kI,om that the farther
eastward on the slope of the Great
Savage dill is put down the less
likely it is to reach the red shae.
And now. gentlemen, the JOURNAL
is unaffected y glad to find that there
is more than treble the flow of water
on the east side thar it mistakenly re-
ported last week. Errors like that are
joyous.

BishOp WooIley'g Meeting.

At the close of the services in the
first ward meeting house last evening.
Bishop WOOlley announced that there
would be a meeting of the priesthood
after the meeting was dismissed, and
large number of those in attendance
remained. After this meeting had ad-
jOurned it was reported that it had
been held for the purpose Of discussing
the school election. and tha- Bishop
WOoIley had cOunseled those in attend
ance TO vote for Mr.. Geoghegan.
When questioned concerning the
matter, the bishop admitted that the
school election had been under cOnsid-
Grafton, but stated that he had not
counseIed those present to vote for any
particular candidate. His statement
follows:
Il did not instruct anyone or advise
anyone at the meeting to support Mr.
Geoghegan. I spoke about the school
election. IL is true. 1 told the people
at the meeting that as many OF them
did not take a daily paper they did not

eral election. / told them that the
school election would be held on
Wednesday for the purpose of electing
a member of the school board; / told
them where the polling places were,
and of the manner OF voting with slips
of paper. I told them that as parents
they were interested in the education
Of their children and Ia the expendi-
turc of money for such purposes; that
they should keep the schools up To the
present high standard, and that they
should have voice in saying who the
school officers should be Then / told
them that there were two candidates

FIRST PRECINCT FIGHT.
Granting Slips Distributed at Ward
Meeting Last Night

tt is understood that an alleged Re
publican meeting is to be held tonight
in the Second ward meeting house for
the purpose Of nominating Frank
Branting for the board OF education
against E. w. Wilson. the non-parti-
san candidate. and present president of
the board. Many Republicans of the
First precinct, a large proportion of
them. in fact. are not in sympathy
with the movement. Its Originators,
however, insist that they are going to
fight MI Wilson because he is d. Dem
Ocrat. It was reported yesterday that
the Republican precinct committee had
prepared a call for the meeting
w. s. Giesys chairman of the Repub-
lican committee OF the First district
and a member Of the precinct commit
tee, telephOned The Herald last night
that ne would support Mr.. Wilson. He
said that if his name appeared on the
call for the alleged Republican meet
ing tonight It was placed there with
out his authority or consent He added
that the session would not be a Re
publican gathering, as cl1imed, at all,
but would be made up o. people who
are opposed to Mr. Wilson.
Mr. Wilson himself viii have no rep
resentatives at this meeting. He does
not wish his name presented there. and
says that If 1t is it win be without his
consent Mr. wilson Is the car 1fCS te
of the voters who believe politics. and
secular matters ought to be kept out of
the schools. and il is on this platform
that he is making his fight
As indicating the character of the
opposition TO Mr.. Wilson. and Of the
genufneness of the alleged Republican
opposition, the story OF an occurrence
in the Second ward meeting house last
night may be related here. The Sun

CHARGES NOT TRUE
No Religious Discrimination By
School Board.
JUDGE HENDERS0N'S SAY
METHODS OF GRANTING SUP
PoRTERS IN THE FIRST.

T have this 20 say, of the charge
that AIormons and Catholics have been
Disseminated against by the board of
education said Judge Henderson. 1T
is absolutely false so far as
my knowledge of the matter
goes. I have never at any time, either
at = meeting OF the board of education
or at committee meeting or between
members of the school board, heard the
religious or political belief of any.
teacher or any applicant for position
as teacher mentioned. You can make
that statement just as strong as it is
possible TO made it, and I VIII indOIse
IT. If any applicant for a position in
the Salt Lake schools has ever been
denied q. place because he or she was a
Catholic or a Mormon, I know nothing
of it, The discussion of teachers at
our meetings is confined to the char
aCter and the qualifications of the ap-
plicant and ] am confident that every
member of the teachers committee
viii bear me out IN this statement.
Judge Henderson was asked if he
knew anything of the young lady who
1t said to have applied for a position
and been warned by a member of the
board not to let it be known that
she was a Catholic.
Il know nothing whatever of the
matter" was the reply, and this is
the drst ] have heard of it. If anyone
had applied to me and mentioned the
subject of religion, I might have told
her TO say nothing on the subject, as it
had nothing whatever to do with the
matter and would cut no figure either
one way or the other, and I am conf
dent that any other member of the
board would hAve said about the same
thing. 1t is barely possible that some
such remark of some member has been
miscOnStrUed, but that anyone was
told not to let it be known that she
was a Catholic, as it would prejudice
her case, / am sure is a mistake, be-
cause I know a no member of the
board who would take such a position -

members of the committee on teachers,
must bear with the rest Of Us the bur
den of the charge. Certainly the fig

This plan is pursued on principle.
we take all the home teachers
who are fit for our use. whose exper-
fence and standing are such as we de-
mand. and still we are compelled to use
substitutes, and young teachers who.
with difficulty, come to the level of our
requirements How could we discrimi

After all. what are the facts2 Three

is not upon the members o. the board.
1t is upon the system. We understand
perfectly that no board can be elected
which VIII be satisfactory TO a certain
class in the community, excepting that
board has at least six members who
viii be subssTVient to the demands of
a certain church.
We do not so understand the wishes
of the majority of the voters and tax
payers of the city. We do not believe
that the people who have built up and
maintained this system, who are de-
pendent upon 1t for the proper educa-
ton of their young. desire such public
servants. We do not believe that after
past experiences and under present
conditions. either MoTmons or non
MOrmons are willing to inject either
their own or any other person religion
into the public school room
So far as Judge Henderson is con-
cerned. he needs no defense. In any
other community his election would be
assured. Mr. Geoghegan may be in
every other respect well qualified, but
as I look at it, so long as he stands
not on his own merits as man and a
citizen but to embOdy the idea that
this or that church must be considered.
his disqualification is absolute and
final.
Not one single instance of discrimi-
nation against Mormon, Catholic or
Protestant has ever been charged ON
ordinary principles this would seem TO
be conclusive upon this question. If,
therefore. the board needs no refor-
nation in this respect, what becomes
of Mr.. Geoghegan's platform? What
/ does he expect to accomplish What
! is his grievance In justice to himself
( he ought to explain. The true eXplana-
/ ton is that he runs for and in behalf of
/ those Who for their own purposes, put
/ him forward. He must represent them
( and their ideas.
! I sincerely trust that the people of
/ this city viii consider this question of
/ church interference with schools before
/ they go to the polls, not leave 1t for
unavafling regrets after election day.
