FRosr BUR,;. Mp, June 9, 1903.
TO the MINING Journal.
The following clipping was taken from
the U. NJ. w. JOnrnui, issued June l.,
and is part of a letter written from Frost
burg to the editor of that paper:
The spirit of organization is manifest here,
not alone among the coal miners, but
among all other classes of wOrkmen. The
miners here realize that they are not rcceiv-
ing as good conditions and treatment as
those of organized fields. But they have
passed through three strikes since 1882, and
have met defeat in each effort for better con
ditions, one-half of the men going to work
in one strike and the other half going to
work in another strike thus causing a very
bitter feeling to exist between the factions,
which resulted in breaking up homes,
churches and fraternal societies, and pre-
vented them getting together i'll a labor
organization.
l do not know where the writer re-
ceived the information given in the
quotation, as he was not IA resident of
this county during the period when
these strikes took place. Hence, he
could not have obtained his knowledge
from personal observation and must
have gained it from some other source.
Having been a participant i'll all the
strikes from that of 1882 up to the pres
ent time, and being familiar with all the
circumstances of each, such statements
as those made above appear To me re-
Election upon hundreds of good and true
men associated in these struggles fer
what we thought was right.
And when the statement that ''half of
the men went to work III one strike, and
the other half went to work i'll another

Correction.

SOrfcctlO
FRosTBrRG, Mn, June TO- 1903
TO the MINING JOURNAL.
There has appeared i'll some of the
county papers IA statement that ut a
recent conference held here by National
Vice President Lewis, District President
Young, Organizer Rice, and myself, we
had under consideration the establish
ment of cooperative store in Frost
burg and We're giving our official as
sistance to the enterprise.
In Justice to ourselves as officials, the
cooperative store and the mercantile i'll
terests of this place, | desire to make
this correction, that no false impressions
may be entertained by anyone.
The officials of the United Mine Work
ers located i'll this district have never had
under consideration the question of Il
cooperative Store-herc or elsewhere.
The cooperative store at this place is
purely local affair, and one not within
the range of our official oversight.
The duties of the National and Dis
trict officials here, as elsewhere, are coz
fined to the work of organization, pre-
venting and settling local and general
friction in the coal industry of this
country.
realize tndt many operators anu
mine workers are inclined to believe the
reverse of this, so far as preventing dis
turbances are concerned.
But it is an historical fact that where
we are best organized local friction is
less frequent.
We desire that he mine workers of
this region affiliate themselves with the
National organization, not for the pur-
pose of local disturbances here, but that
they may assist in bringing every coal
field of this country upon relative com
petitive basis, so that neither miner nor
operator will he Disseminated against,
but each enjoy the fruits of his labor.
The mission of the trade unions of this
country is to elevate humanity as Il
whole. not to wrest from one unjustly
that another may enjoy.
The cooperative store here, 1T is true,
is composed of men who are members of
the local union, but neither the National
nor District officials, nor the local union
have any jurisdiction over it.
1t is controlled by the men who own
the stock, just the same as any other
stock company.
Very respectfully,

The only mistake recognize was that the

panic to the neglect of my advice on that
point. Every step taken, however, so far as
the reports to me show and according to nv
own observations on two visits, was correctly
executed.
Ny ideas about vaccination are seldom
realized anywhere, and Cumberland disap-
points me in this respect. But the inspec-

infection are all good and effective.
