SERVICE FLAG DEDICAT.-
‘ED BY LOCAL UNION
Local rion No. 2774, Unit-
ed Mine Workers of America,
dedicated = service flag in hon-
or of all members of the Local
who are now serving the colersy,
Sunday afternoon. in Rei h’s
Auditorivin, Meyersdale, a
large audi‘nce greeting the
speakers :nd witnessing the
exercises.
. All rose as the Citizens Band
played “The Star Spangled
Banner.” A choir made up
of the best singers in Meyers-
ddle rendered some excellent
songs, a solo “Keep the Home
Fires Burning,” being a fea-
ture that was particularly well
ec eived.
Patriotic addresses were
made by Father Brady and Rev.
Andrews, which drew vigorous
applause from an appreciative
atalience. The meeting was
also addressed by two mem-
bers of the Union, Mr. King
and Mr. Drum, the former hav-
ing been a coal miner for 44
years.
From the address of Mr.
King we take the liberty to
quote the following: “We are
at: war with the greatest mili-
tary machine that the world
has ever known. We honor
my boy who wears the colors.
T le citizens of Meyersdale
ould be congratulated for
their attendance here. Since
b> United States was plunged
ViMothewarthe U. M. W. &
has been doing its duty. Fif-
teen thousand represent their
numbers between the age of 21
and 31 years who are in the
service. Upon the miners de-
pends the outcome of this war.
“I have noticed with a whole
lot of pride the patriotism of
Somerset county. The mine
workers are always loyal. The
mine workers of this county
have been handicapped. They
‘I could not extend their organi-
zation as it should be. The
cause is due to the employers
of labor in this county and the
gunmen paid by the men who
work.” The gun men should
be sent to France! The gun
men are no good in a communi-
tv where they use their guns on
the poor and defenseless min-
ers. We ask the employer to
meet us and do collective bar-
gaining. Those who refuse
z¥ ould be at the front! The
men of Somerset county should
have some of the freedom
which they are willing to fight
for.
“I want all wage earners to
buy Liberty Bonds. It would
be a notice to the Kaiser that
he’d better quit spending the
lives of his citizens.”
The closing address was
made by Mr. Drum from Mary-
land. He contrasted the phys-
ical fitness of the men for mili-
tary duty in the various nations
at war. The percentage of
the fit men was the highest in
Germany and the lowest in the
United States. He showed
how we had every reason in the
world to enter the war, and if
we had not entered it how we
would have been compelled to
go in later; how the miners are
playing their part; how the op-
caused strikes
and called the miners pro-Ger-
man when the operators them-
selves were to blame. He ad-
vised the men to show their
patriotism by purchasing Lib-
erty Bonds and Thrift Stamps.
In closing he expressed the
hope that every person will do
all in their power to bring the
war to a successful conclusion.
The meeting came to a close
with the singing of the song
“America.”

LLOYD PAUL MARTIN.
About 4:30 o’clock Wednes-
day morning, April 17th, Lloyd
Paul Martin, eldest _son of
Chief Burgess and Mrs. Wil-
liam Martin, of Garrett, died
at their home on Walker
street. of a complication of dis-
eases, aged 15 years, 2 months
and 3 days
For several months past the
young man had been confined
to his home, suffering constant-
ly, and it is thought that death
came as a relief to his agony
as no hope has been held for
permanant recovery for some
time by his parents or attend-
ing physician. Lloyd had the
appearance of a pleasant ob
liging young man. and a host
of friends mourn his untirely
death. He was 2 member of
the ! utheran Church and Sun-
day School, and his former
minister, Rev. W. HV, B, Car-
ney, traveled all the way from
Dubois, Pa., to preach the fun-
eral sermon.
Interment was made al Ber-
lin on Friday afternoon, Un-
dertaker Joseph 1. Tressler. of
Meyersdale, in charge. ;
We extend our sympathy to
the bereaved parents, relalives
and friends,
