A Railroad Strike In Holland.

Something unusual in the way of
strikes has just occurred in Holland.
1t began through an engine driver on
the Hollandsche railway refusing to
shunt train into premises where the
workers were already on strike. He
declined to do what he called "scab
work" He was discharged, but his
association supported him, and all the
1900 employees of the two great rail-
ways in the country came out as one
man. Such united action has never
been seen in Holland before.
The decision to stop all trains was
arrived at on Friday night JAN 80,
and on Saturday not a train was rum
ming. Curious results followed. All the
stations were closed and guarded by
the military, which had been hurried
to the chief points, especially to Am
sterdam, where the strike originated
The mails were carried in motor cars
which the minister responsible for that
department had called into use from
private owners. One trainload of pas-
sengers on the way to Germany was
D,
and the unfortunate passengers were
afraid to leave the train, lest it should
go on without them. Humorous Incl
dents were not lacking. An opera COM
pany had to travel from Amsterdam to
Rotterdam. They travelled part way in
cabs and other vehicles. Then they got
train part of the remainder of the
way, but the engine driver struck when
he got some distance on, and the sing
ers had to walk the rails to complete
their journey. A crowded house await
ed them, but they had neither instru-
ments nor costumes, so they gave "Fi-
delio" in the clothes they had Travelled
in, and the music was supplied by a
piano.
Late on Saturday night, the 31st, the
railway companies gave in to the men,
and the strike ended.-Collier's Week

BREWERY MEN
GO ONsfSTRIKE


strike order must be obeyed
On behalf of the directors OF the local
plant Condy o. Boyle, president Of the
company, said on Saturday: "Our
brewery is included in the Anthracite
Brewers territory, which embraces all
brewers between White Haven and
Shamokin, while our employees are mem
bers Of a union EN- braced in the territory
of the Luzerne Brewers Association, to
which to which the upper end brewers
are affiliated. The board Of directors
are willing to sign the scale demanded
by the unions Of the Anthracite terri
tory, but we will not concede the
demands of the Luzerne union because
they are burdensome and wholly one.
sided. For the past two years we have
signed the Anthracite district scale, and
are ready to do so again, but we will not
agree to terms dictated by men in a
union which is outside the district In
which we do business"
The strike order went into effect here
on Saturday morning, and all the en-
ployes directly connected with the
manufacture and delivery of the prod
ucts of the brewery failed to respond,
with the exception Of Christ Koppel,
the chief brewer, who is under contract.
Officers and stockholders OF the com
pany took the drivers places and filled
local orders, and the directors say that
NO Inconvenience has yet been felt by
the strike.
Mike Lukash, employed as a fireman,
returned to work yesterday. This is
the only detection reported from the
strikers ranks.
Both sides today appear determined to
fight it out on war lines The directors
say that if the strike is continued they
will run the plant with new men. EN-
pioyes, on the other hand, say that cap
able new men cannot be obtained to fill
their places and that unless the scale is
soon signed the company will be made
to feel the effects of its action.
At Mahanoy City an effort is being
made today to run the brewery with
non-union men, and at Tamaqua a
similar effort will be made.
meeting of the employees OF Kaier's
brewery will be held this evening, and
1t is rumored that important develop
ments will follow.

Selling Their Children.

The black slave of antebellum days
was free to what the American labor
ing man is now. The black nanny
never had to take her babe to the block
and sell it, but that is what the Amer
ican wives and mothers among the
miners and other trades are forced to
do. They take their offspring from
their breast, carry it to the operator.
the master, and say, "What will you
give me for my child" That is what
is done day after day. These white
slaves form large percentage of the
producing class of the country. In fact
they are the producers. What about
their rights?
In West Virginia you can't step on a
piece Of ground unless you step on an
injunction. You try to cross river,
and the capitalist thrusts an injunction
at you. If one half of the river belongs
to the trusts, you have right to think
that the other half at least still belongs
to God Almighty, but it seems this isn't
true.-Mother Jones.

this country, and we believe it has nev-
er resulted in anything but failure.
Persons that indulge in these patron
izing schemes do not understand very
much about the American people. If
Americans generally were willing to be
organized into model communities and
have their ways of life regulated for
them and be under hourly instruction
and advice, this would never have be-
tion in the world nor the American
workingman famous for his skill and
efficiency.
There is a certain condescension in
volved in the model town idea that
sets an Americans teeth on edge. 1t
Is a practical recognition of modern
feudalism not easy to tolerate-as If
the people for whom model towns are
provided were unable to look out for
their own interests and must have
guardians from among the wise and
good. In this country the public school
has made most people of about the
same degree of intelligence, and those
that produce the wealth of the land do
not usually need to be cared for by
charitable idlers.
The Pennsylvania mine owner prob
ably never thought of it, but as a mat
ter of fact very few Americans in pos
session of health and their reasoning
faculties need to have things done for
them. They can do things for them
selves. They do not need any paternal
care and shepherding about. All they
need is an opportunity, an equal chance
in life, and they can be depended upon
to take care of themselves.
In this particular instance If the mine
owner had seen fit to abolish his COM
pany store and it's varied and ingen-
ious system Of grand and petty lar
ceny and had done away with the time
dishonored methods of plundering prac-
ticed on the miners, he could have

This old remedy soothes and heals the

nourish the body, by enabling the stom-
ach to assimlate food, and forcing nu-
triton into the blood, by which each
organ of the body is strengthened and

story OF American pluck, persever-
ance, and ambition, is that of Rev. N.
w. Matthews, formerly OF Plymouth,
Pa, now pastor of the First Primitive
Methodist church of Lowell, Mass, who
began life as the son of a miner, battl-
ing against hard conditions and winning
his way up in the world until he is to-
day Doctor of Philosophy, a mem Der
of the Faculty of the Primitive Metho-
dist Theological School, and Pastor of
one OF the most prosperous churches in
Massachusetts. Twenty years ago, Ma
than w. Matthews, then a mere lad,
worked in the mines with his father and
brothers in the anthracite region, near
Hazeton.
Early and late he toiled 10 the bowels
of the earth, and suffered with his com
rades all the privation of long hours and
low wages.
Rev. Mr.. Matthews says that among
other evils suffered by miners, none is
more dangerous and harder to over
come, Notwithstanding the improved
conditions under the inspector system,
than the injury to health. The miners
spending so much Of their time under
ground, in dampness and dust, causes
many to become broken in health long
before their time. These conditions
cause wasting away of the body, miners
asthma, sore throat, bronchitis, and
serious throat and lung trou bles. To
overcome this condition nourishment
for the blood and food for the tissues of
the body are needed, and Rev. Mr.. Mat

as the best remedy prescribed for the
ailments referred to above. Its purity
