That man Meyer of the Fedora
ton of Miners must be a very
funny man. He returned from
Cripple Greek district last Thurs
day morning where some 1000
miners are out of employment and
will be for some time, on account
of the strike thereby losing thous-
ands of dollars in the loss of
wages, and remarked that he was
greatly pleased with the outlook. -
He doesn't seem to realize that
many an innocent person will suf-
fer hunger before the strike is set
tied. Speaking of the strike now
going on up there a well known
Denver man arrived in town last
Thursday morning from that dis
trict and tells us that on the same
train with him were FIVE of the
leaders of the strike who left as
soon as the strike became general.
Two of them were going east for
a rest, while the others were en-
route for Montana. In answer to
a question of why they "did not
remain up there and help the mis-
guided members of the union out
of their trouble" " replied, ''that
they had had all the fun they
wanted and were going away and
let the boys get out of it the best
way they could" This is about
the rule in a strike. The "jaw
smiths receive their big salaries
while the poor fellows who earn
the money are allowed to suffer.
When will the wage earners learn
something?-The Rocky Mountain
Herald.

The Idaho Springs Revelations.

The fact brought out on the
preliminary examination of the
men accused of completely in the
attempt to destroy the property of
the Sun and Moon mine near Ida
ho Springs that secret conspir-
acy existed among some of the
leaders of the Miners union for
the purpose of carrying on such
work of destruction comes as a
shock to every good citizen in the
state.
No man who believes in law and
order and the protection of pri-
vate rights can uphold a conspir-
acy of this KIND, regardless of how
ardent a union man he may be
No one will dispute the right of
working men to form union, but
every union man who is law abid-
ing citizen must condemn a resort
to dynamite and the destruction
of private property.
We do not believe that anything
like a majority of the members of
the Western Federation of Miners
were cognizant of the existence of
an inner circle of dynamiters. 1t
is evident that only a few men
were taken into the conspiracy
But the fact that such a band of
dynamiters existed, including
some of the leading members of
the Idaho Springs union, places
the whole organization under sus-
picion; for no outsider can tell
where to draw the line and what
men are and what men are not in
cluded within this inner circle.
Every law abiding member of
the federation should repudiate
this inner circle and all the lead
ers who may be shown to be in
any manner connected with it or
cognizant of its plans and purposes.
The law must be maintained.
Colorado cannot afford to tolerate
A band of ConsDiratorS If makes no
difference how small it may be,
who resort to methods like those
employed at Idaho Springs to
destroy private property. The
discovery of this conspiracy makes
it all the more obligatory upon all
good citizens to stand together for
the enforcement of law and order.

The Truth Well Spoken.

The Mining Reporter of August
goth says: "Whi1e the outlook
for Colorado was never better so
far as the physical condition of the
mines is concerned, the persistent
efforts of the walking delegate
have precipitated wholly unnec-
essary and disastrous situation.
This is not relieved by the DEM
agogic attitude of one of the judic-
iary who, while protesting great
indignation at the act of Idaho
Springs citizens in preventing
tragedy by deporting some turbu-
lent union men and used vigorous.
measures to protect the latter, has
maintained a total silence when
the labor committees have run
miners out of the camp who
wanted to work and had no COM
ment to make on the attempted
murder of miners working i'll the
Sun and Moon. No union can be
stronger than the public sentiment
that permitted it's formation, nor
can it exist and flourish by defying
law and order, which public senti-
ment in every we'll regulated COM
munity is pledged to uphold.
Hence when men resort to intimi-
dation and force they cannot justly
complain if they are occasionally
brought to a sudden halt and made
to realize that even the more con-
servative element in the commun
ity has reached a point where fur
ther tolerance of the tyrannical de
mands of labor agitators is impos-
sible.
When it is known that the ma
jority of the working men are hon
est and willing to do what is right,
the marvel is that they lack the
moral courage to resist the minor
ity rule. The strike at Cripple
Greek illustrates this point. Out
of 5000 miners at work there are
probably 1000 union men. OF
this number, not more than one
half really favored the strike, and
it is even claimed that a far less
percentage than that were actively
i'll favor of it. Practically every
man, whether union or non union,
was compelled to quit work at the
behest of the strike committee.
Lessees working for themselves
who were not able to be idle and
who were in no way concerned,
not even members of the union,
were made to quit work and prac-
tically driven from camp by threats
as to their personal safety if they
attempted to work. Perhaps his
honor, Judge Overs, has not heard
of this phase of liberty as inter-
preted by the uniou. His letter to
Governor Peabody will neither
strengthen him nor the cause he
champions so thinly yelled is the
personal animus.

Gratis don't carry the state.
Cases which come within the juris-

Sistersville daily oil review. [volume] (Sistersville, W. Va.) 1902-1905, 1903-08-06

Only a few people went down
to the ball park yesterday to see
the final game of the season. The
actions of the Charleston team and
the poor showing they made dur
ing the first two games were
largely to blame for the small num-
Der that patronized the COX Office.
But those who did 60 were treated
to one of the best games OF ball
this season. It was the shortest
game by fifteen minutes, and when
that Is said all lovers Of the sport
know that the playing was full OF
ginger. But the trouble IS that the
other fellows had most of the GIN
ger. The unexpected may be
looked for In base ball at any time,
and that Is what happened yester-
day. The league leaders are de-
feated more often by tail enders
than by clubs higher up the list.
The trouble yesterday was the
inability of the boys to hit Drew.
They pounded him all over the lot
the day before, but yesterday, while
he only struck out three men, the
ball when hit always landed right
where somebody happened to be.
1t was one of those fortunate days
for a pitcher which comes OCCASION
ally.
Collins pitched a fine game.
Only six hits were made off him.
but they were opportune and
counted for runs.
The feature of the game was the
batting of Farrell, who with four
times at the bat got one single, one
double and one triple.
AS usual there was large num-
Der of local people roofing for the
opposing team and roasting the
umpire. 1t may be all right, but
the Review falls to see how any
home institution always seems
wrong In the eyes of some people.
Each side scored In the first In.
ming. Taylor, first man up was
struck by Drew. Adamson sent a
long fly into center field territory
for single, but was caught at
second on the throw In. In the
mean time the hustler from Wheel
Ing had crossed the plate with the
first and only run for the home
team. There was great cheering

by the faithful.
In the same inning, Cooper was
hit by Collins, Helmond struck out,
Cooper went to. second on Denton's
out. Saladine to Outcalt, and came
home on Farrels hit.
The sco1e was even, and the
game red hot until the sixth In
ming when Charleston got another
one. Farrell made his ACCUSE
mary drive over the right field
fence. McWharter hit-it was d
scratch but Adamson and Outcalt
had some trouble getting together,
and while the ball rolled away from
the captain, Farrell rushed across
the plate.
In the eight number three were
recorded on the blackboard for the
visitors. McWharter got his Sec
ond single, and went clear home on
errors.
We might have scored another
one or two In the eighth, but a hot
one down to the right field fence by
Taylor was called foul, and nothing
was doing after that. For five times
on their side and four times on our
side but three men faced the pitch
er. Frequently but four and five
balls were pitched. 1t was a good
game. but would have been better
had we won.

Formerly it was generally con-
sidered that base ball players were
a bad crowd. They were noted for
somewhat the Same composition
and characteristics as pugilists and
sports In general. But of late
years this has changed. The best
of homes, the best of professions,
the most prominent young men In
a community are often found on
the teams. And gentlemanly de.
pertinent takes the place of Bowery
swagger and conduct. The devel.
opment of athletics In the schools
and colleges of the country has had
much to elevate the sport, until
today 1t ranks with tennis and
yachting and shooting as means
of recreation and even employment
by young men of muscular or
sportive tendencies.
Sistersville has been fortunate In
having a ball team In which every
member was and IS gentleman.
They have made friends not only
on the ball ground but In the
homes and on the streets of the
city. They are admired equally for
their gentlemanly qualities as for
their professional ability. Gener-
ally speaking, the teams that have
come here to play In the past two
years have been of the same class.
They have been we'll received and
left with a good reputation. But
one or two exceptions can be
found. This was the record up
until the Charleston aggregation
hit the town for the second time.
During their first visit, they
were under the care of competent
manager, and behaved themselves.
The only fault In them then was
their baby ball playing. They
acted as If they would win games
with wind instead of on their
merits.
This time however, 1t Is different.
Not much sooner had they struck
the city than they began displaying a
disposition to be anything except
gentlemen. They came without a
