up hope of ever being cured when FOLEY’S KIDNEY

FRIGHTFULLY BURNED.
While Two Brothers Writhe in Ter-
rile Agony, Striking Miners
Hoot at and Mock Them.
Last Friday while working in the
mines, Alvin and Herbert Statler, sons
of Emanuel Statler, of this place, met
with an accident that came very near
costing them their lives. They had lit
the fuse to put off a shot, then walked
out of their room, turned at corner and
stood on the heading until they heard
the report of the blast. They had no
sooner stepped around the corner to
see what execution the shot did, than a
terriffic powder explosion took place
near them, which set fire to their
clothes and burned them in a most hor-
rible manner. One of them was so
stunned that he could help himself but
little, and had it not been for the hero-
ic efforts of his brother, he would have
lost his life. Clarence, another brother,
who was working in a nearby room,
also rendered valuable assistance to
both of them. The cause of the scci-
dent was a blown-out shot, which
threw some burning cartridge paper
into a can of powder.
They were taken out of the mines as
soon as possible, and the news of the
accident soon reached the ears of a lot
of striking miners at Coal Run. In a
very short time about fifty or seventy-
five strikers had assembled near the
mine, and they at once began to cheer
and gloat over the horrible accident.
“Two more scabs on their way to hell,”
and other heathenish remarks of the
same order were freely uttered and
bellowed out by the assembled strikers.
The father of the young men, who
had been at work in the Meager mine,
was promptly telephoned for, and as
soon as he arrived he was also hooted
at and mocked by the inhuman fiends
among the strikers, the class of cattle
that old Lou Smith and his anarchistic
Commercial uphold, aid and abet in
their meanness. Respectable citizens
what do you think of such people? We
think they are hardly fit to live, even
among wild beasts. If there is such a
place as a real, old-fashioned fire and
brimstone hell, and most people be-
lieve tkere is, the fellows that gloat
over the pain and sufferings of the
Statler brothers will go there sure, and
the hounds of hades will chase the
souls of such fiends over the hills of
damnation through all the ceaseless
ages of eternity. Mark our words and
see if some of the heartless wishes of
the strikers do not come home to them
with compound interest. They are not
through with this old world yet, and
the old world is not through with
them. “Chickens usually come home
to roost,” if you take notice.
As soon as the Statler brothers could
be brought home, medical aid was sum-
moned, and they are now getting
along as well as can be expected.
While their burns are very serious and
painful, the boys will recover. They
were burned but little in their faces.
hut their arms, hands and backs are
frightful to behold. It is believed,
however, by their physician, that they
will be able to resume work in a few
months, which they will do if they can.
Both of them are very honorable young
men, and they are highly esteemed in
this community by all respectable peo-
ple. They are young men of very cor-
rect habits and have always been in:
dustrious, ever ready to improve their
conditions in life and take care of their
earnings. ~ Alvin saved enough of his
earnings in the mines to educate him-
self with, and only a few weeks ago he
returned from Cumberland, Md., where
he entered the Cumberland Commer:
cial College, last year, to take a busi-
ness course. During his vacation he
went in the mines again to earn enough
to complete his course, so that he could
follow something better than mining
in future years.
The Statlers were for years in the
mine operating business themselves,
and the boys had too much business
sense to continue in a hopeless and
useless strike, knowing that the com-
panies were offering all they were jus-
tified.in paying in the face of the pres-
ent dull coal market. Therefore, in-
stead of remaining idle and squander-
ing what they had saved by hard work
and correct habits, they went to work,
as they should have done, and as all
others who can get work should do.
Compare the Statler boys to those who
are gloating over their sad accident,
and you will see that they rank as far
above their traducers and their heart-
less enemies as one of God’s noblest
creations ranks above the vilest mud
he used in making snakes and slimy
reptiles like old Lou Smith. And
they’ll not go begging, either, as mosr
of their traducers will as soon as they
meet with bad luck.

HOW THEY LIE.
Misleading Statements of the
Strike Organs Exposed.
The men who for some time have
uselessly been trying to keep up a
strike in the Elk Lick and Meyersdale
roal region, never had much besides
lies, blow, bluster and: threats to rely
on to win out, and the more hopeless
their fight becomes, the more desper-
ately they resort to having lies pub-
lished. The following, which last week
appeared in the Georges Creek Press
is only a fair sample of the ridiculous
lies circulated by those who have the
shattered and broken strike in charge:
THE MEYERSDALE SITUATION.
Conditions in the Meyersdale region
do not appear to be changing to any
great extent.
There are now less than 400 men
working in the entire region, where
over two thousand wrought last De-
cember. Of these, about 756 are Eng-
lish-speaking men, and the rest im-
ported Huns, Italians and Slavs. The
company brings these men in one week
and lose them the next, or as soon as
the men see what sort of affair they
have lugged them into.
THE REAL SITUATION,
There is scarcely a man or woman in
this entire region, strikers included,
that does not know that the Press item
is a clumsy and ridiculous lie. The
editor of the Press may have published
the item in good faith, but the infor-
mation he hands out through his paper
is nevertheless a lie from beginning to
end.
Now, what are the facts? The facts
are as follows: There never was a
time when 2,000 men were employed in
this coal region. The figures are too
high by at least 500, and when the
strike was first declared there were
probably not over 1200 men employed
in the region. At the present time
there are nearly or quite 600 men em-
ployed in the region, divided about as
follows: 300 in the Somerset Coal
Company’s mines in the lower end of
the region, about 50 in the Chapman
and Tub Mill mines, 75 in Merchants
mines Nos. 1 and 2, from 10 to 12 in the
Meager mine, and the balance at Ni-
verton.
At the last named place, at which
none of the miners struck, about one-
fourth of the men are Slavs, the balance
Americans. At the Merchants mines,
Chapman and Tub Mill, at which about
125 men are emplayed, all are English-
speaking people, except about 26 ex-
perienced Italian miners from the
north end of the county. The great
bulk of the miners at this end of the
region * are well known citizens and
practical miners of this community.
At the lower end of the region, where
about 300 miners are employed, at least
two-thirds of them are English-speak-
ing people, and many of them are
among the best practical miners that
have been working in those mines for
years. It will therefore be seen that
enough men are at work in this region
to mine all the coal our operators have
sale for during the present depression
in the coal trade. With very few ex-
ceptions they have been sticking right
to their work, too. Of course, we
know of a few instances where men
started to work and were persuaded to
quit by the United Mine Workers, and
we also know that some of that class
returned later and asked for employ-
ment again, but were refused. Only
last week seventy of the old employes
of the Somerset, Coal Company in the
lower end of the region applied for
their former places. and out of the
seventy all but 24 were refused.
Isthere a strike in this region? Yes,
there is, among a certain class, a large
percentage of which the operators do
not. want at any price. Nearly all the
mines are running, and our operators
have no trouble in filling all the orders
they ean get. Several months ago all
the mines were idle, except Niverton,
while now nearly all are running, and
yet some foolish miners are contending
that they have brighter prospects to
win the strike now than ever. What
fools!

DEMOCRATIC TIMES.
A few years ago, when this country
was under Democratic rule, the price
of coke was 90c a ton and wages at a
corresponding figure. Tnere wasn’t a
bootblack stand in Connellsville.
People were Democratic and blacked
their own shoes, chiefly because they
hadn’t any spare change to pay some-
body else for doing the job.
To-day, one can get a shine on almost
any corner, and a good one, too.
This is a homely but striking illus-
tration of the difference between Dem-
ocratic and Republican rule. Isit any
wonder the people of this country do
not want any more Democratic times?
