MEN WHO HAVE MADE THEIR
MARK.
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.

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.

MINING SITUATION.
Organizer MeCullough Makes a
Monumental Ass of Himself.
A Speech that Started Two Mines to
Work Within Three Days.
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.

THE SHADOW OF POLITICS.
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.

Oh, no,
I didn’t produce a @iagram to show
That Japan would win the fray

Maybe not,
But it is my impression I was on the

When the fuss began.
Oh, no, you can’t lose the little old I

It was all plain to me
As ABC.
I came right out and said
The first day I read
That the thing was a go
That Russia didn’t stand any show.

That Japan was smart
Enough to do what she has done.
And how I did have fun
