pany of Black, Sheridan and Wilson,
said on Wednesday, i'll reply to an in
terviewer:
Many of the men who are on strike were
BON and reared in the region, and there is no
friction between them and the companies
We feel that they have been misled and we
have not attempted to work the mines, pre-
ferring to wait until the men who have been
in our employ are ready to return to work
They stopped work after receiving an increase
Of about 81 per cent in their pay and have al
lo,red themselves 10 be nsed IN tie interest Of
other regions.
Is it possible that the Order of United
Mine Workers permits itself to be used by
"other regions to break down this:
Or is it only Warner and other officers
of the Order that are employed i'll such
unfair, dangerous, destructive work:
Really, Messrs. State Bureau of In
dustrial Statistics, this ought to be
probed to the bottom and cleared up to
the end that the next Legislature shall
take needful action to protect the States

They Are Not Alone.

Although many things connected with the
strike i'll the Georges Creek region seem in
compatible with the reputation enjoyed by
the miners of that region of being mentally
and morally SUI erior to the workers in any
similar region III the world, it still stands to
their credit that the strike has been con-
Quoted so far without the slightest disorder
Maryland has had no cause to he ashamed of
her miners.-Frederick Nc~s
They are "mentally and morally su-
perior to the workers i'll any similar re-
gion i'll the world
They are not prone to disorder, and,
excepting few questionable utterances
more private than public-the mis-
sionarics have preached the gospel of
organization" with less violence than
usual
The Georges Creek miners are all
right. Excepting what Emerson called
''ovcrsoul,' and other uper-abounding
sympathieS and emotional qualities in
themselves weaknesses only when Weld
ing to the touch of the labor demagogue
they are as good people as dwell any
where.
This is proven by the fact that the
merits of the current suspension divide
church memberships and even families
into factions of pro- and con-each as
honest, sincere and good as the other.
One of their failings is when the
missionaries announce ii public meeting
they do not allow the Lord to answer
their prayer-"lcad us not into temp
tation." They go and 90 and go until
finally the rupture between themselves
and their bread and butter is complete
Grievances they have been carrying
for six years, magnitied by iteration and
multiplied by reiteration, become spec
tacularly intolerable and, under appeals
to their manhood and apostrophes to the
grace, beauty and glory of liberty, they
emancipate themselves by jumping from
the frying pan into the fire.
This is not peculiar to them. All
human nature is about the same "Ddc,'
Sjmiii0r conditioDx The notion abroad
that brains, machinery and money are
getting much more than their share of
labor's earnings is finding more and
more popular voice among carpenters,
builders, railroad, telephone, telegraph
and other operatives, and making more
and more appeal to practical states

why Not ?

The Maryland RcpubLc0n, a Bryan
democratic paper, published at Annap-
oils, evolves this conclusion from the
premise that the republic is III danger:
The man who would refuse to vote the
democratic ticket at his crisis because of a
fear of 16 to l, is no democrat at all. Such a
man is putting, even from his own stand
point, the fear of the loss of a few dollars by
possible depreciation Of the currency against
the life of the republic, for these democrats
who believe in the gold standard and fear sill
yer are the foremost and most violent in de
nouncing the imperialism of the republican
party and in pointing out the danger of the
republic. We have alluded to this class of
democrats because if they vote for and sup
port the democratic ticket Marvland's
electoral vote is certain for the democracy"
BY the same token, if they do not
''vote for and support the democratic
ticket Maryland's electoral vote is nat
certain for the democracy
If the issue really is as stated by the
R"p"JjicoD that "the fear of the loss of
few dollars is the dnimnx of sound
money democracy, why challenge that
fear to do its worst by imperilling
those "fcw dollars:'
If the support of the sound-money
democracy be Indispensable to demo-
cratic success, what sort of patriotism is
it that insists they shall make all the
sacrifice:
Why not save both republic and dol
lars by leaving 10 to or bust out of
the platform?

All Should Agree.

Judge Fitzgerald, of New York, has
one view of the sweep of an injunction !;
judge Freedman, of same State, has an
other, and judge Golf, of the United
States court, this district, yet another.
The judges should "get together"
1t is an argument against the prac-
tiCability of socialism that ''where
two or three gather together" there is
disagreement i'll the midst of them
the more constituents the more disagree
mcnt.
This ought not to be true of the science
of popular rights under positive law, es-
pccially when it comes to judicial meas
urcs which, by anticipation, forestal in
fraction. There should be some rule of
issuance of the injunction almost
mathematical in its consistencies-a rule
which will hold nearly as practicable the
same with. all courts.
This for the reason that so many and
wide differences below impair popular
confidence in the wisdom and discretion
of the higher and highest courts.

Looks Hopeless.

In speech last Saturday at Vale Sum-
nit Daniel Young, of Homecoming, ridi-
culed Gov. Lowndes' statement that
Georges Creek operators are supplying
their contract customers with Penn
sylvania bituminous,' etc. Mr.. Young
said, i'll substance
if Gov. Lowndes' statement, in re-
cent interview, that the Georges Creek com
panies were getting coal in Cleartied was
true, it showed his argument to be false, for
Cleartied miners get 60 cents ton, and If
they could afford to buy coal in Cleartied
that costs 60 cents to produce, they could
better afford to pay 60 cents at their own
mines.
Mr.. Young does not tell the whole
story. He reserves the fact that the
element of freight comes in-a very I'M
portant one when costs of coal are com
pared.
The rate on Georges Creek coal to
tide-water points for Baltimore ship
mcnts is S1.OS; for Meyersdale coal 93
cents.
Under the current organization rule
which permits a portion of Il district to
work for ~ cents and compclS the other
portion to demand 60 cents, the Georges
Creek operator can buy MeyerSdale coal
and SIRE IN rents per tom!
Again to- same points for Philadelphia
shipments the freight rates are SLID on
Georges Creek coal; 81 on Meyersdale
and 81 on Clcarticld coal.
Here is exactly the same speculation
for the Georges Greek operator
To New York the Georges Creek rate
is 81. 81 per ton; Meycrsdalc rate $40;
Clcarfield rate $40.
Over and over again the net l0-cent
freight margin appears i'll favor of the
operator and 0gdiDSf the Georges Creek
miners demand for 60 cents.
1t matters not, therefore, whether
GEORGES Creek companies buy Clear
field coal i'll Cleartield, Philadelphia, or
Baltimore, or New York, hr rr&"H is the
S"m"-a So"i"g IF II cr"tS u 10" in freight
ogoj,M u loss Of j rents IN r0g"S.'
1t will be seen also that Clearfield's
1j-cents per ton freight advantage en-
ableS the operators of that region to pay
60 cents and disables the operators of this
region from paying that rate.
Let us add to this the large amount of
coal mined over there at less than 60
ccntS-m less than ~ ccntS--by machine,
aud we will see that "the Georges Greek
companies are buying coal to supply
their custom, much of which costs for
mining less than the 30 cents they are
offering their own men at their own
mines nj hOmr,
The JOURNAL is not presenting these
statements i'll any controversial spirit,
but gives them as ttctx. The figures
stated are not private; they are the
pubIiSh"d railroad rates, and as such are
entitled to at least us much conSidera-
ton by miners as are appeals to their
love Of liberty and manly slavishness to
organization.
Whether as an individual or paper
no one i'll this region would rejoice more
over the securemcnt of the 60-cent rate
than the JOURNAL. But in the face of
the facts given how hold-out, weaken
ing in strength as it is prolonged, can
win, detieS all the philosophers yet
developed in the realm of economics.

Distress.

The new Garrett county school board
appointed under the new general law,
met Tuesday and organized by electing
democratic president, examiner and
attorney. They then demanded of the
republican board full surrender of all
the archives, which the latter declined.
1t will take lawsuit to determine
the rights of each board.
In consequence the Cumberland NcrS
had another non partisan chill Wednes-
day morning about three inches long by
two wide
The trouble is-there is no partisan
ship on the Nr"S' side-not bit. The
commissioners, nominated by republi-
can convention and elected by the people
last fall under Il local law, are all repubh-
cans, which is thoroughly non partisan,
as anyone can sec. These non partisans,
winking the other eye, elected republi-
can cXaminer-another non partisan act,
don't you know.
Now, these four non partiSanS want to
hold on-not for party reasons, but just
to hold on. Their on-partisanship is
not of the coarse. rude profane kind, but
just the sort that would fit the program
of IA business meeting of a ladies mite
society, run Sunday school, or, proper
ly versitied, could be sung with perfect
propriety with the long-metrc doxology
on ck-dayS in church.
