A Soldier Asks, Why IS II?
To The HERALD:

JONES, DTONh ana Don. taxes q uay
eff and visits his old friends (while
he has money! who dealou poison
for a most insignificant considera-
ton, that fills him SO full of the
spirit Of love, that he feels Ike
embracing his mother-in-law, and
causes him to becomeso happy and
light-hearted (headed) that he
decides to pay his ice bill, and settle
ali debts to date; desiring to do the
public in general favor by painting
the town red, he proceeds to do so
by riding through the streets, yelling
like a maniac, shooting the air full
OF holes, leaving trail of blue
smoke in the wake of his profanity,
doing all manner OF Objectionable
and ridiculous, things and final
ly ending up in the gutter, to
be carried home by his friends-not
the ones who started him off, how
ever, but by some charitable indiv-
iduaI who sympathizes with fallen
humanity and particularly one in
his condition.
Now, what l want to know is,
why Brown & Son, and all their
employees are not called upon by
the public, to help him Mr.. Jones,)
bear the disgrace of this shameful
breach of the laws of good breeding,
of society, Of the community, and
OF the country2
Now, in justice to all, is anyone
accountable for Jones conduct, but
he, himself? And is it fair for the
public to look upon Brown & Son,
and each and every one employed
by them, with an eye of contempt,
and an air Of disgust, and hold them
in disgrace, just because Jones who
belonged to the same firm, got
drunk and made a fool Of himself?
Yet, as Unfair as it appears to be,
this is the exact state of feeling and
principle adhered to by the white
population of Brownsville. Not,
however, in the case of Jones,
because he wears the dress of
civilian, but in the case of Private
Goodfellow of Fort Brown, who,
unfortunately, has the habit of
taking Il "mescal" bath every time
he draws his pay, and in this
cleanly condition takes lodging in
the first soft spot he finds in the
gutter" He is seen by the public,
who carefully observe that he wears
the uniform of the United States
soldier And what is the con-
sequence? Is the uniform disgraced?
Indeed not, but every one that wears
it is. This being the case, please
tell me. where does the, honor Of
serving your country come in?
Why doesn sergeant Strongmind
reenlist? And
What makes Corporal Foresight
J and Private Doright quit the service
upon the expiration of their first
term? To be sure Sergeant Don't
care and Private Goodfellow will
remain in the service indefinitely,
for they find their level in the lowest
Mexican dives, the only society al
forded soldier in Brownsville.
And everyone who wears the uniform
.of soldier must share this dis
grace.
And why not? Since there is no
distinction between the good and
! bad that wear Uncle Sans uniform.
Simply because MEN wear the
same kind of clothes, must each and
every one be put on the same level?
Have we no true men in our
Army?
j Do they all belong to Don't
cares" class?

Home Burned Because Husband Worked.

Scranton, Pa, Dec. 20.-Johr
III. Otto, the first witness called,

boycott him because he worked
in the mines.
The second witness was a boy,
who was forced to leave the
store he was employed in on &C.
count of his father being a non-
union man, and the next wit
ness testified that strikers tried
to have him forced from the vol

gineer during the strike.
Her Home Burned.
Mrs. Rhoda Snyder, of Wilkes
barre, with baby in her arms,
took the stand and, with tears
running down her face, told of
the burning of her home by
strikers. Her husband was in
the mines and could not come
home because he feared bodily
harm. She and her children
were so badly abused that she
moved to another part of the
city. Her reception in the new
home was hostile, and she decided
to move to her mother-in-l Jaws
home. The strikers prevented
her, and she and her two chill
dren took refuge with the moth
er-in-law. The same night the
house and all it's contents were
destroyed by fire. Her goods
were not insured. Her father
in-law ccrroborated her testi-

Coal Field.
CHAIRMAN GRAY DENOUNCEs
BOYCOTS MOST VIGOROUSLY.
Iieartbrsaking Stories Of Persecution and
Violence to Non.Union Men
and Families.
OPERATORS SIDE NOW GETS HEARING

Scranton, Pa, Dec. 19.-Non-
union men, some of their rela-
tives and others to the number
of thirty appeared before the an
thracite coal strike commission
today and told their stories of
boycotts, intimidation, dynamit-
ing and violence in various forms
during the late strike. Each
witness called was a sufferer in
one form or another at the hands
of union men. Four witnesses
said attempts were made to blow
up their houses, one house was
badly damaged, many of the
witnesses were threatened with
bodily harm, several were beaten,
one was shot in the leg and every
one stoned, boycotted or hanged
in effigy. One school teacher
testified to having lost his posi-
tibn because his father did not
4rike. One man was asked to
Resign from a Catholic temper
a1ce society and another witness
was expelled from a local lodge
of the Ancient Order of Hiber-
nians after membership of
tenty-six or twenty eight years
Fecause they were classed as un-
air workmen.
Joseph III. Dugan, the man
who was requested to give up
his membership In the Catholic
temperance society, remained at
work doing repair work and act
ing as watchman. He wept
while on the witness stand as he
teld of how they ordered him to
leave after many years of pleas
ant social relations with its mem
bers. He was very active in the
society and drilled many of those
who have grown to manhood in
the military branch of the Cath
olic society. He said he had
been stoned and otherwise badly
treated, and added that a good
clubbing would not have hurt
half as much as the action of the
society in throwing him out of
the order. The boys he had
drilled in the society stoned him
on the highway.
Chairman Gray asked the wit
ness if he remained at work so
that the pumps could be kept in
good repair, and thus keep the
mines from being destroyed, and
he said he did.
Mr.. Darrow asked him how
long he worked, and examined
him in such way ON this that it
drew out the remark from Chair
man Gray that men will work
fifteen hours to help save a
neighbours house.
Other witnesses testified that
grocers, butchers, milkmen and
icemen refused to serve them be-
cause they were afraid their
business would be boycotted.

"The coward who will go to
the storekeeper," Chairman Gray
said, "and tell him not to sell
the necessaries of life to poor
woman usually seeks the obscur-
ity that the law of evidence
throws around him. fla girl is
discharged from her position in
a store because she rode in a
street car in inclement weather
while street car strike was on,
the coward who discharged her is
coward enough to refuse to tes-
tify."
He recognized, he said, why

to refuse to sell the necessaries
