BoME of our miners are already find- ing out that they have struck too long, as some who are applying for work have been turned away. A consider- able number of men joined the ranks of the workers, this week, but a larger number tried to get work and failed. This is as we predicted, and we were cursed by some of the miners for tell- ing the truth for their own good. Tue striking miners in Colorado may not all be bad men, but since they are résorting to thé ueé of infernal ma- chines, committing murder by whole- sale, etc., it is plain that there are many anarchists among them. There can be but one final outcome of the situation in Colorado, and that will be the same as the fate of the Mollie Maguire or- ganization that terrorized the hard coal regions of Pennsylvania, some years ago. A lot of the leaders will be hung, and the miners’ organization will be completely broken up in that state. Severar French soldiers, survivors of the Chinese expedition of 1856, are re- sponsible for the statement. that Gen- eral Kuroki, who is leading the Japa- nese forces in Manchuria, is in reality half French. His name, they say, is properly spelled Curique. According to the story of these soldiers, a French officer, Captain Curique, while serving in China in 1856, married a Japanese girl. A son was born to them, who was given the Japanese name Kuroki, cor- responding to the French Curique. This son is General Kuroki. Captain Curique died last year in France. Un- til the last he ‘corresponded with his son, who has since become famous. ea WHEN union miners show their hatred at a funeral, as they did at Boynton, last Saturday, when they re- fused to act as pall bearers along with non-union men who are not striking, they bring reproach upon themselves and lose the sympathy of the general public. They also lose public sympathy when they boycott churches that re- fuse to eject strike breakers. And they lose public sympathy when they boycott stores that allow the same buy- ing and loafing privileges to working miners as are accorded to strikers. All such fool capers give organized labor a black eye. Organized labor is a benefi or a curse to laboring men in propor- tion to the way the members thereof behave or misbehave themselves. Ir is an absurd spectacle to see labor leaders coming up here from the Creek region to induce our miners to remain idle. They tell the miners here that they must not disgrace themselves by “scabbing,” wkile at the same time, to use their own term, the whole Creek region is “scabbing.” The men down there went to work at a price below the district scale price, and they have been working at the same old “scab” price ever since. No effort is made by the leaders to stop the men there, for the reason that they want the miners of this region to play catspaw for them, just as they have often been victimized into doing before. It is about time for the miners of this region to quit being hewers of wood and drawers of water for the George’s Creek miners and la- bor grafters from that region. Tell them to reform their own “scabs” first, This region has never been fairly treated by the Creek region, and it of our men if they cannot see it. SoME men in this vicinity have al- most gone daft by reading a semi-an- archist sheet published at Girard, Kan., erroneously named Appeal to Geals lungs and stops the cougB. | Mention this paper, 8-11 growing rich at their expense no doubt causes him to laugh up his sleeve many times every day. The publisher knows that it pays to farm the malcontents for revenue in advance, and he also knows that every community in the United States bas a few people that | read worthless, trashy and misleading newspapers in preference to something wholesome and substantial. It is a caution how a newspaper of that stripe, with no standing whatever at home, can calch “suckers” abroad and poison their minds with literature that never elevates men, but always breeds dis- content and social and financial ruin to many who are foolish enough to read and believe its “rot.” THE Georges Creek Press seems to think it is a crime for a newspaper to print company store advertisements, but the Press is not a responsible news- paper. .It is simply. an- organ, and-a dev’lish weak one at that. This is a general newspaper, intended for the masses, and our advertising space is for sale to all who wish to advertise. One customer’s money is just as good as that of another, and as long as we remain in the newspaper business, we do not propose to let any man or set of men have authority over us and die- tate with whom we shall or shall not do business. Furthermore, we do not propose to turn any customer away to please any narrow-minded jackass in_this universe. All who wish to patronize this paper and comply with its terms are at liberty to do so, and those who do not wish to patronize it can let it alone. We have many good patrons, made up from the ranks of all kinds of people, and all people of good sense do not care how many company store advertisements we publish. We do not care for the slurs and criticisms of blatant fools, demagogues and dead- beats, and neither do we care for their patronage. | ge Worp comes from Washington that a vigorous crusade of almost gigantic proportions and, calculated to elimi- nate from among American advertised industries one of the most extensive frauds ever practiced has been under- taken by the Postoffice Department. With the assistance of government scientists, the department seeks to bar from the use of the mails the host of patent medicines and nostrume which chemical analysis show are incapable of performing the wonderful cures claimed for them. On the list are prep- arations which purport to cure dipso- mania, yet contain large percentages of alcohol, some of which are vended as harmless, but are found to be dele- terious ; others which are advertised as “consumption cures,” but contain no recognized remedy for tuberculosis, and still others which are sold as re- storatives of vitality, but which are en- tirely incapable of accomplishing any such result. It is about time to rid the mails of the advertisements of fakirs, who fleece the public out of large sums of money annually. The P. O. De- partmant would also do exceedingly well to exclude from the mails the hundreds of worthless story papers printed for no other purpose than to convey the advertisements of quacks and fakirs to those who are silly enough to read such trashy journals and patronize the charlatans and thieves who advertise therein. A FEW narrow-minded asses have passed the word around that H. Me- Culloh’s meat market must be boycott- ed. for the reason that Mr. MecCulloh has M. D. Thomas employed in his shop. Upon inquiry we are told that M. D. Thomas has done nothing wrong, but he happens to be the father of a mar- ried son about 25 years old who has gone to work in the mines. Mr. Me- Culloh is therefore expected to help punish Frank Thomas by discharging his father, but “Mack” will do nothing of the kind, for the reason that such a roundabout course would be too much like the fellow who once wanted to be inoculated with a loathsome disease so that he could get even in a roundabout way with a certain preacher. Anyway, it would be useless to discharge the father, for even if he should decide to crucify his son or burn him at the stake to appease the wrath of the pa- triotic (?) asses now demanding ven- geance, it is probable that all of our citizens would be too unpatriotic to sell nails, oil or fagot wood for the exe- cution. Did you ever hear of such narrow-mindedness? It is only one of many samples of the supreme idiocy shown by some of the strike advocates of this vicinity since the last strike was first declared. Every instance of this kind is a black eye tothe cause of labor, and the sad part of it is that some la- boring men are so foolish as to be con- stantly injuring themselves and their fellow workmen by such outrageously foolish methods. Laboring men who thus injure their own cause ought to be locked up for the good of their innocent fellow workmen and the public in gen- | RELIGION. | The Philadelphia North American Has What We Believe is a True Conception of It. Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this: To visit the fatherless and widows in their af- fliction and to keep himself unspotted from the world. —James 1. 27. The world worries too much as to the manner in which its religion is clothed. The newcomer into life is barely able to comprehend the “three R’s” before being impressed, as a rule, with the false idea that the only sure road to heaven is that mapped out according to a certain creed or code, as set forth by some religious organization. It is a false idea, because no rational inter- pretation of the Scriptures, or of life as it presents itself to us, demands such. Who doubts or questions this has but to heed the simple, straightforward and easily-understood formula of “pure religion and undefiled” given us by an apostle and personal friend of the One who has most influenced the course of men and nations. We boil this down, and find ourselves face to face with the divinely-fathered fact that human charity and personal goodness consti- tute the real road to happiness in the hereafter. The guide which will never fail us on the way is the Golden Rule. The great number of religious bodies which hold and practice different ideas regarding the same vital facts is neith- er fo be wondered at nor discouraged as a menace to the final salvation ‘of men. Every human being differs in some way from every other, and since no two of us feel, think or see exactly alike, it is a blessing that men and women have the chance of allying themselves with religious bodies with- out the need for change or compromise in their chosen form of belief. It should guarantee satisfaction without endangering strife, and though it does not fully accomplish this end, we have only to view the un-Christian state of affairs which existed when the civilized world was dominated by one church to realize the value of the changed order. Yet to hold that a God of perfect justice and infinite mercy demands of | advise or intimate that the Creek miners ought to strike. No indeed, the | Press knew better than to advise its home miners to foolishly indulge in a strike. The Press seems to be conteat to keep the men in this, region froes work, so that the miners in the Creel region may reap the benefit of their olly, and some of the miners here are too thick-headed to see the “nigger im. the woodpile.” They listen to the la- bor grafters from abroad, and blindig taken later by others. The fake labor paper knows it is iy- ing every time it tells the miners of this region that they are sure to wim. the strike, for in its own columns it by publishing the truth about the cos? markets. Following are a few para Press, the great (?) labor fakir, only last week : WORST SOFT COAL SLUMP FOR YEARS. The slump in the bituminous coal” market, which began a month ago, is the worst. the central Pennsylvanis field has experienced in five years. One of the most prominent operators ir the field said: “Almost all the oper- ators are now having trouble in dispos- ing of coal at tidewater or the other large consuming markets of the east. There are at the present time not less than 2,000 cars of coal belonging to the different companies standing on sid- ings in the eastern cities and at tide- water, waiting for a purchaser. The coal has been loaded on the cars only for the purpose of using the allotment of cars to the various operators by the Pennsylvania railroad. The coal com- panies fear that if they fail to take their cars the railroad company will withdraw them, and when they are most needed by the shippers they wil? be unable to get them. The Pennsylvania company has with- in the last few days notified the soft coal shippers not to load coal on the cars unlees prepared to sell the same. With mines idle half the time, raii- roads cutting down force and hinting at wage-reductions, factories shutting down and furnaces" blowing out om every hand, prospects do not appear over-encouraging. Looks as if the old periodic sickness of nations—over pro- duction—is coming again. We trust not, but caution at this time would not be unwise policy. — ee His children certain forms and cere- monies in living up to the vital prin- ciples is as absurd as to claim that a human father should dictate to his children the exact manner in which they are to tell the truth. They are to be truthful—that is all! And we children of a Universal Father are to ve kind and good—that is all! The uniform & man wears means little if the man within is not true to the cause. And a man may be true to the cause without ever wearing a uniform. God gives us intellect. reason and conscience as the lights with which to find our.way. Because your way dif- fers from mine, and mine from anoth- er’s, proves only that we are using these lights to the best of our ability. Never are we less true to God than when we strive to deny or change the righteousness of the chosen way of any one man or body of men. “Judge not, that ye be not judged.” Just do all you can to help your fellow-men in the manner you would have them help you, and strive to increase your own truth, honor and purity; and whether you march under this flag or that, or without any flag at all, you may be sure of a glad welcome and a full re- ward when you cross the threshold of the eternal Home.—Philadelphia North American.

Labor Paper Contradiets Itself and Shows Its Own Weakness, For weeks and months the Georges Creek Press, which is the official organ of the United Mine Workers of this district, has been trying to make the miners of this region believe that they are going to win their strike. The same paper has also been telling the miners of our region that the condi- tions of the coal market do not warrant & cutin the price of mining. But when the cut came in the Creek region, the miners accepted it without laying down their tools or even protesting against | eral. the reduction, and the Press did not | “RECOGNITION” AT 50 CENTS & . Our erudite, if not sincere. contem- porary, the esteemed Meyersdale, (Pa.}, Commercial, sees in the settlement of the Merchants Coal Company with their men at Tunnelton, W. Va., on a 50-cents per ton basis, a sign of weak- ness on the part of the operators in the Meyersdale region, and holds out the hope that because the union has been recognized at the small works at Tun- nelton, the large operators in its own field will eventually accede to the de-- mands of the union. The Commercial is either not con-- versant with the situation, or it is de- ceiving the miners in the Meyersdale region. We prefer to take the former view of it. It will be observed by the published reports of the Tunnelton set- tlement that the miners accepted a cut of 5 cents a ton and returned to work for 50 cents. In the Meyersdale field the operators are willing to go one bet- ter and pay their men 55 cents a tom, the old scale, but such irresponsible papers as the Commercial will not let them accept it. How does the Com mercial expect the Merchants Coal Company to pay its miners 50 cents s ton in West Virginia and 60 cents a ton in the Meyersdale region? If it does not hope for 60 cents for the Meyers- dale miners, then the Commercial must confess that the strike is being pro- longed—not for the price per ton, but for recognition of the union. And if they get recognition, will they be will- ing to accept it at the price the men must pay for it at Tunnelton—50 cents a ton? It will be far more becoming in a paper of the Commercial’s years and standing to induce its good citizens to return to work at the 55-cent rate and take up the question of “recognition” of the union later. Those negotiations can be conducted while the miners are earning good wages, whereas under the Commercial’s policy they are losing both. After all, it is for the “recognition of a few officials and individuals—and not for the union at all—that the strike is being continued. —Lonaconing Star. This paper does not agree with the Lonaconing Star on some things. Im fact we believe that paper always sides with the coal operators, no matter whether they are right or wrong. But as a blind hog will find an acorn once in a while, s0 also will Editor J. J. Robinson publish the truth on some occasions. In the article above he tells a whole lot of truth, for which we must give him credit. i ee.
