As announced in THE STAR, last week, the late strike, which lasted 16 months and a few days, is now a thing of the past. It was a long, bitter, foolish and useless struggle on the part of the strikers, who were led by an unprinci- pled set of leaders who at no time seemed to have anything more at heart than the drawing of their own salaries. They held out false hope to the strik- ers, making many promises to them which they well knew they could not fulfill. Instead of trying to teach the strik- ers common sense and proper regard for law and order, they filled their minds with socialism, and actually en- couraged outlawry by bringing the union promptly to the rescue of such members of the craft as had been found guilty of violating and defying the law. The union was constantly kept busy paying fines for members who were found guilty of being drunk and dis- orderly, as well as for fighting and other depredation. Instead of repre- manding criminals and weeding them out of the union, the leaders held them up as martyrs and tried to shield them and conceal their crimes as much as possible. Then, too, the vicious element in the union was continually shielded and encouraged by the Meyersdale Com- mercial, the only newspaper in all Somerset county that would stoop so low as to hold out false hope and in- duce men to neglect their poor wives and children in order to keep up a struggle that was ill advised and mis- managed by unprincipled men from the start. The editor of the Commer- cial cannot live long enough to undo or make amends for the great want and suffering that he was largely instru- mental in bringing upon many poor families in this region. And the want is not the worst part of it, for the Com- mercial has helped to sow the seed that poisoned many a striking youth’s mind and started him on a career that can but lead to erime, indolence, prison or the gallows. The defeat of the strikers is com- plete and overwhelming, and they have learned that they cannot win a strike without public sentiment on their side. They have also learned that they can- not win public sentiment by threats of boycott and other high-handed force methods. And some of them, at least, have also learned that they cannot deadbeat a friendly newspaper in times of prosperity and then have the aid and support of the same in times of trouble. Because THE Star refused to be bull- dozed and dominated by a class of men who never did anything but deadbeat it, our business has been threatened with boycott, ruin and annihilation. But THE STAR is prospering very nice- ly, thank you, and we would like to see the color of hair of the man or set | of men tkat the merry twinkler would allow to boss it. A few one-horse merchants | silly enough to take fright at | threats the were | strikers, and for the great gain they thought there would be in it for them, the “softies” had to at least pretend to be in sympathy with the strike. But the merchants who allowed the strik- ers to rule them, are now much wiser, but more sad and out of pocket. They got their eyeteeth cut, as it were, and richly do they deserve it, for they were playing a hypocritical game and were mere pretenders for revenue only. The fool tactics of such merchants have driven away the best patrons they ever had, and many of them will never come back. The strikers believed that they would be received with open arms by the operators just as soon as the strike ended, no matter who won the strike, and that all the strike-breakers would be promptly discharged to make room for union miners. They are wiser now, much wiser, but they have paid dearly for their knowledge. They also blowed around that only a few men were at work, that those few knew nothing about mining, that the companies were tired of them, etc., ete. But they all know better now. They know now that the mines are well filled with good, practical miners, and they also know that the companies are not going to be so unjust as to discharge men who stood by them in time of need to make room for ingrates who tried to ruin them if they could not rule them. Some of the men now working in the mines may not have known much about mining when they secured their jobs, but any fool can learn to mine coal scientifically in 16 months. It doesn’t require a college education to become a coal miner; any fool can learn to become a fairly good miner in a few months. Messrs. Strikers, what do you think of yourselves and your unprincipled leaders by this time? Wasn’t it a bril- liant piece of business, though, to strike and strike antil the mines were completely filled with other men, then call it off? Don’t you honestly believe it should have been called off long ago? And, honestly now, wouldn’t you have acted wisely by taking THE STAR’S ad- vice and going to work many months ago? Furthermore, has THE STAR told you anything but the hard, naked truth all through the strike? Some of you got furious at times and swore venge- ance, but it was the truth that made you angry, and you know it, every mother’s son of you. Don’t it make you feel cheap, now, to seek employ- ment with the men you denounced as “scabs,” “‘blacklegs,” ete.? Many of you have denounced this paper when you should have been thanking it and paying what you owe it. And many of you have been de- nouncing company stores at times when those very stores tided you over sick- ness and other calamities—times when you hadn’t a cent’s worth of credit at any other store in town. Hereafter don’t be ingrates, don’t be criminals, don’t be fools. Don’t carry all your money to the saloon-keepers and let your most worthy friends and best ad- visers in the lurch. Don’t try to run your employer's business, but pay closer and better attention to your own. Don’t waste time in reading socialist literature and making yourselves be- lieve that the whole world is walking over you with piked shoes. Self-ap- pointed martyrs always suffer the most, and their suffering is all needless. Remember that life is largely what we make it for ourselves. THE Star hopes to see all the decent, honest, law-abiding strikers get work as fast as places can be found for them. But when it comes to the abusive, vin- dictive, criminal strikers, the sooner they are forced out of the region, the better it will be for all concerned, and the sooner they go to hell, the sooner the demands of justice will be satisfied. — It was just like Andrew Carnegie, the great hearted iron master, to give warm welcome to his niece who had the courage to marry the mar she loves re- gardless of the wishes and the money of her mother. Ahdrew Carnegie is one of the richest men the world ever knew, but he is far from being of the class known as snobbishly rich. He is thoroughly democratic and he likes in- dependence of character.—Chicago Re- view. A TRIED AND TRUE FRIEND.

This paper has always been outspoken against the filthy and hideous crime of vaccination, and while our belief is shared by many of the most scientifie men and prominent doctors of the world, our remarks on the subject have frequently been scoffed at by people in this town who never take the trouble to think and investigate for themselves, but who blindly swallow anything they are told by men who write “M. D.” after their names, and who do a lucra- tive business at blood-poisoning every time there is a little smallpox scare. We would be enly too glad if vaccina- tion had any virtue in it, but the fact remains that it hasn’t, and that isn't the worst feature of it, either, no mat- ter what the pill peddlers and arm scratchers say about it. We honestly believe that vaccination is today the greatest enemy of the ha- man race. It is truly no wonder that cancer and other loathsome diseases are becoming so prevalent as to startle the entire world, and if the fool law- makers continue to pass stringent leg- islation in favor of vaccination, it will be only a question of time until the whole human family is reeking with rottonness, ulcers, cancer, running sores, ete. Last Sunday we were shown. some of the fruits of vaccination right here at home, in the family of Wm. Wagner, a reputable and well known farmer re- siding within a half mile of Salisbury. One of his daughters, a handsome and healthy young woman, was vaccinated by Dr. A. O. McKinley, over a year ago, and as a result she hasan’t seen a well day since. The vaccinated arm will not remain healed, and ugly venomous sores constantly keep breaking out on it. It was badly swollen, very sore and frightful to behold when we saw it, and we were told that it had often been much worse. Naturally, Mr. Wagner and his family have no further use for the filthy crime of vaccination, and some of the narrow-minded vaccina- tion fanatics of this community ought to go and see Miss Wagner's arm for themselves. Then, perhaps, they would see things in a different light. Miss Wagner may be maimed for life, although we hope for her complete recovery. But we would rather have every member of our family take chances with smallpox than for a single one of them to have an arm like that of Miss Wagner. The poor girl is to be pitied, and if she were a daughter of ours, we'd feel like pumping somebody full of cold lead. Of course, we suppose the vacecina- tionists will set up the idiotic plea that Dr. McKinley’s virus wasn’t pure or that some extraneous matter was al- lowed to get into the sore by the patient not taking proper care of the sore. That is the kind of insane twad- dle the vaecination cranks indulge in, but they fail to explain how pure virus can be distinguished from the impure article. The fact is pure virus is pure rottenness, pure poisonous and decomposed animal matter, hence im- purity of the vilest brand. The kind of virus Dr. McKinley used is the same kind that other doctors use. And the best of care was taken of Miss Wagner’s arm, too. Besides, no extraneous mat- ter that could ordinarily come in con- tact with a vaccination sore could be one half as dangerous or as poisonous as the decomposed animal matter used by the doctor in making the arm sore. Vaccination is a curse to humanity, a torture to God’s dumb brutes and a sin against God. Those who would make it compulsory are tyrants and tyrants’ dupes. Most of the doctops know this to be true, but then it stimulates their business and puts big money into their pockets. —————-—— sl THE resolutions of the agents of the Equitable company show a weakness not confined entirely to that company. The agents represent that they have secured the business for the company on the representation that it had been conducted on a strictly mutual plan and that the surplus belongs in fact to the policy-holders. They demand that the company make a declaration that this is true and that the company make it good. But the fact is that in the case of this one company, as with most of the big companies, the mutuality is fictitious and has been all along, and the surplus while nominally belonging to the policy-holders is in fact owned by a few favored owners of the stock. This has been abundantly demonstrat- ed by the revelations made in New | York, and nothing that can be “de- | clared” will change the fact.
