An Appropriate and Effective Book- let on the Savings Habit. The above is the title of a very in- teresting booklet just issued by the Pittsburgh Bank for Savings, of Pitts- burgh, Pa. The booklet is one of the best ever published for the purpose. It contains a brief but surprisingly complete biography of great American statesmen and kings of finance. It is admirably illustrated with half-tone portraits of characteristic scenes illus- trating striking episodes in the lives of various characters among whom are Benjamin Franklin, Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Carnegie, Stephen Girard, John Wanamaker, James A. Garfield, John D. Rockefeller and others. Fol- lowing each biography is an apt quota- tion appropriate to the matter preced- ing. Typographically it. is one of the handsomest little booklets we have seen for some time, and it will repay our readers to send for a copy of the same, which will be furnished free of charge by the Pittsburgh Bank for Savings. provided you mention this pa- per, but not otherwise. eee @prereeee BraTHERsKITE McCuiLouvgH, the wind-jammer who made a socialistic harrangue in Salisbury, last Friday riight, referred to Editor Bishop, of the Meyersdale Republican, as “Governor Peabody.” We hardly think anvone would refer to McCullough as a Pea- body. but we hear a good many people using a name that is somewhat similar when they speak of the Michigan blow- hard. The similarity, however, is only in the first syllable, as the second syl- lable of the name they use in speaking of McCullough begins with the letter “p” instead of “b.” Tue other day at Pittsburg, John Mitchell, the head of the United Mine Workers of America, took occasion be- fore leaving for Europe to say that the strike in this region would be continu- ed indefinitely. In the meantime the companies are turning away old men every day who are applying for work, and they are running their mines only about half time with the force they now have at work. The mere declara- tion on the part of Mr. Mitchell is very poor hope for the men, who, of course, can continue to draw the little relief the organization is giving them, barely enough to buy the actual necessities of life, and in the meantime their land- lords are selling off their little personal property for rent, and the companies are more firmly intrenching themselves for the future. These national organi- zers in the field must be kept, and they must have their little sprees as they did on Sunday, aod rell down our streets in a beastly state of intoxica- tion, and in the meantime the miner and his family can suffer. They are the least care of the m n charge who still continue to live on the fat of the land, and to warm the chair bottoms in our principal hotels, 0 are setting up polities in this county, and trying to create a famine in the products§ of the distiller and brewer.—Meyersdale Republican.

Some time ago the coal operators of the Elk Lick and Meyersdale region reduced the price of mining coal from 85 to 55 cents per ton. As soon as no- tice of a reduction was given, the miners of the region came out ona strike. Public sentiment at that time was strongly in favor of the strikers, and notwithstanding the fact that the coal trade was very dull at the time, and the fact that a reduction was in- evitable, a compromise could easily have been effected at 60 cents per ton, had not the Jeaders and organizers of the United Mine Workers been looking more to their individual interests than to the interests of the hundreds of poor fellows out on strike. But the leaders and organizers were looking out for themselves, and an amicable settlement is the very thing they did not want, for the reason that when there are no strikes, a lot of labor grafters and organizers are out of a very easy and profitable job. Therefor, instead of trying to make the best settlement possible for all parties concerned, the officers and or- ganizers have been urging the strikers to stand firm for the old scale price, telling them they were bound to win, but at the same time not believing a word of it themselves. They not only filled the strikers with lies and all- around deception, but they have been going up and down the region making speeches that can have no other effect than to cause men to disrespect the laws of our country and incite them to riot and crime of various sorts. In fact they poisoned the minds of the rank and file of the strikers to a great de. gree, causing them to do and say so many things at variance with law, or- der, freedom, decency and common sense, that public sentiment today is arrayed against the strike to a much greater degree than it was in favor of the strikers at the outstart. Today there is scarcely anybody in this en- tire region, aside from the strikers themselves, that is in sympathy with the so-called strike. We say so-called for the reason that there is really no strike in this region at the present time. A majority of the mines are running, and the amount of coal ship- ped out of this region easily supplies all the orders our operators have to fill. : Of course, many of the strikers are still striking, but that does not in the least effect the output of the region, which is fully equal to the demand. The fact is, the strike is a thing of the past, and he*who cannot see it in that light is not very smart. Every day some new men are being hired, and some others are being turned away. And right here we wish to tell you that a considerat.e number of men will never be able to get another day’s work in any of the mines in this region, and all the unions on this side of the deep blue sea cannot get them work here. They have sinned away their day of grace by listening to a lot of grafters like Organizer McCullough and others, and letting their foolish enthusiasm get away with their better judgment and common sense. ; Only last Friday evening Organizers McCullough, Morgan and a “Bohunk” speaker made street speeches to the workingmen of this vicinity. To the credit of Mr. Morgan it must be said that he made a fairly decent and logical speech for one who thrives by the strikes and idleness of others. As to the “Bohunk’s” speech, no one but a “Bohunk’ could understand him, as he spoke in his native tongue. Neverthe- less, a gang of ignoramuses from Boyn- ton and Coal Run stood in the street and cheered lustily everything that the speaker said, all of which was the same as Latin and Greek to them. Morgan and the “Bohunk” did neither harm nor good by their speeches, but when Blowhard McCullough delivered him- self of his jackassical bray, he made such a fool of himself and his organiza- tion that the operators had a very easy time to start two more mines on Mon- day morning last. We refer to the Meager and Chapman mines, which are now running, and more men are apply- ing for work than can be accommodat- ed. That shows what kind of influence MecCullough’s speech had. The hissing viper delivered himself paper and the Meyersdale Republican in particular, and at the coal operators, moneyed men, law and order in gener- al. Every time he opened his spacious raved and caved, howled and scowled of a socialistic harrangue, the burden | of which seemed to be aimed at this | fool mouth, his cloven feet would get | into it before it could be closed. He | like 2 mad man, and just because Tur 8rAR is no longer in sympathy with a useless and hopeless strike, Mr. Me- Cullough gave it as his opinion that the operators have subsidized this paper and are paying it a stipulated price per line for all its editorials on the mining situation. If Mr. McCullough says that such is the ‘ease, he is a dirty, black- mouthed liar and numerous things that would not look well in print. All that this paper has ever said on the mining question has been said without money and without price. and also without any suggestion or solicitation on the part of any operator, superintendent or mine foreman. What we have said was intended for the benefit of the re- gion in general and the miners in par- ticular. We do not want to see our miners lose their places permanently, nor the homes which many of them have acquired. We do not want to see their places filled with foreigners, yet that is exactly what will happen if they persist in blindly following men like McCullough, sacrificing their positions, their homes and their earnings in order that a useless strike may be maintain- ed and labor grafters be kept in a po- sition to feed fat at the best hotels and keep drunk a good portion of the time at the expense of the poor miner and his family. Honestly, now, how much good has the miners’ organization ever accomplished in this region? How many strikes has the organization ever won? How many strikes, all told, have ever been won by any means in this region since the first ton of coal was shipped out of it? Figure on the strikes won, and all benefits derived from the organization in this region during ite entire history, and then com- pare the figures with the expense of maintaining the organization, the loss occasioned by strikes, ete., and see where you are. The organization has been playing a very expensive and los- ing game. Windbag McCullough, the ex-Mor- mon elder, prates of law, order and morality, and in the same breath ad- vises a course that is directly opposite to law, order and morality. His speeches when boiled down are well calculated to foster anarchy. He re- fers to this paper as “The Star of Beth- lehem.” We are proud of the title, for Holy Writ tells us that the Star of Bethlehem pointed the way to the Saviour of the world, and that the wise men of the East followed the star. Tust go it is with this STar—it is fol- lowed and appreciated by wise men of the east, but it cannot be expected to be appreciated in its proper light by fools and ex-Mormon elders from Michigan and their benighted dupes sprinkled throughout this coal region. McCullough says: “If allthe miners would organize as one man, there is no power in heaven, earth or hell that would move them.” He even defies God Almighty, but after all he only made a fool utterance. Ifall the farm- ers should organize as one man, they could starve all the miners within one year, and if all the fools should organ- ize as one fool, the result would be a fool nearly as foolish as some of the men who believe all the rot that Me- Cullough preaches to them at the rate of about $4.50 per day and expenses. The Michigander also told his geese how they could starve this paper to death. Well let them try it on, for all we care. This paper’s existence does not depend on the patronage of people that can be influenced to resort to boy- cott. The old “Star of Bethlehem” is firmly fixed in the journalistic heavens, and all that Blatherskite McCullough can do to pull it down will only cause it to twinkle all the brighter, and far outshine the Michigander’s fire brands of hell, to which his speeches have been likened. He speaks glibly of men’s obligations to their order, but he forgets their ob- ligations to their wives and children, and to the men who have been trust- ing strikers to house rent and the ne- cessities of life. A man’s obligations to the wife he promised to love, protect and honor are the most sacred of =all obligations, yet how many there are who do not make an honest effort to properly support their wives and help- less children! Daily you can see men idling away their time, loafing and drinking at the saloons, depending on the mere pittance received from the miners’ organization to support their ‘wives and children. Men who can stand leading such a life are a very low grade of human beings. We want our | family to have a better living than any | union gives its members, and so long as the editor of “The { hem” is able to work, we will | for them, too. We would have too | much self-respect to allow our family | to be supported, pauperlike, by the rations dished out by a union. man and a good wife constitute a union they have good { that can always, health, make their own living, and a far better one, too, than any labor organization ever gave to its members in distress. We propose to keep right on speak- ing the trath concerning mining mat- ters, and it affords us much pleasure to say that our business and subserip- tion list are more than holding their own. Our course is not only approved by the business men and other sub- stantial people of this entire region, but sensible union miners tell us every week that we are giving them the straight truth, and that they would like to go to work, but fear the thugs and criminals in their own ranks.

Dun’s weekly trade review, elsewhere printed, sums up the business situation with clearness and accuracy. The shadow of a Presidential election has fallen athwart the times, and capital has shrunk from the sunshine of ex- pansion and prosperity into the dusk of conservatism and depression. It is probable also that there are some superstitious people who believe that a period of depression is due every ten years, and that it is as certain as fate to arrive on schedule time. Far-sighted and keen-witted business men, however, say conditions are fa- vorable to enterprise and that when the noise and excitement of politics are over, and the continuation of Republi- can policy is officially announced, there will be a resumption of business in spite of the ten-year pessimists. If the grain crop of the country is a good one, nothing short of a cataclysm can prevent 1905 from being a year of prosperity.—Connellsville Courier. ret AN ALARM CLOCK FOR 25ec.
