THE LATE STRIKE.
Some Valuable Lessons Should be
Learned from the Lost Cause.
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.

PROBABLY MAINED FOR LIFE.
Some More of the Awful Effects of
the Crime of Vaeceination.
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. What is
