Davies Tells How He Was Robbed and Black listed and Driven Out of the Anthracite Region. Frotn the Stroudsburg Times. "If there ovor lived a class of people upon whom society is so dependent for the comforts and blessings of modern life it is the coal miner," said D. D. Davies to a Times reporter the other day, "and no workman Is more poorly paid, gets less sympathy or less regard." For many years Mr. Davies has work ed in the anthracite coal fields of Pennsyl vania. lie moved to Stroudsburg re cently and Is engaged in the manufac ture of a patent cover for pots and pans. At the request of the Times Mr. Davies has written his experience with coal coinpanios, which, in view of the present strike, are Interesting. "Let mo toll you my experience of their mode of dealing with the Indi vidual. I have lived in the coal fields since 1853, was raised among the mines and understand mining and handling coal. I also try to live a Christian life, as there are many thousands of miners very active Christians and their families, and there are no better church support ers and attendants in the United States than among the miners. 4% 1 say this in justice to my fellow men, when outsiders think they are heathens, especially some coal presi dents treat them so and who try their utmost to bring thein into disrepute and contempt when theyemploy sneaks and blacklegs to go among them to incite riots and Incendiaries, to create damage to mines and properties, but no law abiding citizens will do so. "The coal combine employ men to do these things but they do it on the sly and if auy of the perpetrators are caught they do the same as they did in the Mollie Maguiro scheme, the Kerri gans and the meanest and lowest are let loose for lying and telling upon the very ones they had made tools of to do their dirty work. "I was working for the D. S. & S. Company, or Coxe Bros. & Co., at that time. My wife and mother were with me. At the time I ain about to speak I was driving gangway for thorn. I had to send in a contract, or terms upon which I would do the work in writing. The proposition was accepted, I got the job but 1 kept a copy of tbo terms for future use if ever necessary. "Then I started religious service dur ing week nights and Sunday school and religious service during Sunday, for It was a now mining vlllago. 1 did my best to elevate arid better the condition of my follow men where I had an op portunity but trusts take no stock in that. "One month I found my account #BO short. I wont and toid 'Dan' Coxe and 'Bill' Seiple about it, asking them to correct the mistake. They would not do It. I would have to see to the cor rection myself. They would not in any manner assist or enable mo to get my #BO back, accordiug to the terms of the contract. One day I wrote to the com pany at their home oflico about it and how it was made. "I never got a reply but the next day as wo were going to work I was told a dispatch had been sent to stop the job and my place was given to auother man. They kept my #BO to increase their mil lions and they are still keeping it. I wrote to them several times about it but they never answered a letter. "Then I wont to another part of the coal regions to live, seeking for work at many tnines under different owners and management. At every colliery 1 would bo asked my name aud whore I was from, at which mine I worked last. Then I would be told to call around in a couple of days and they would let me know. They always told mo my services MISCELLANEOUS ADVERTISEMENTS. I N HE-APPOINTMENT OP GUARDIAN OF J THE ESTATE OF BRIDGET McGET UI CK. Notice is hereby triven that Ellen Iloyle has presented a petition to the court of common pleas of r.u/.erno county, asking the appoint ment of u guardian ot the estate of Bridget McGetrick, of Freeland. The said petition appouring to be in proper form, the court has directed the SHIIIO to be tiled, and has appoint ed Monday, October , at 10 o'clock . m . as the time for hearing, when such decree will bo made unless cause shown to the contrary. John M. t'arr. Attorney for Petitioner. JMHTOBHrth Boat Coußh Syrup. Tastes Good. Use in time. Bold by druuKlsts. EEI were not wanted and that they had no job for me, (but they had for others that went after mo.) "Mother and I and my wife then wore in sore distress. We needed food and clothes, because I had been put on the blacklist. We were starved out of the coal region simply because I asked Coxe Bros. & Co. to correct a mistake of #BO in my account when the foreman would not and their superintendent would not assist mo in recovering. I asked for what I had worked hard for, using dynamite in blasting every day In a narrow, confined place. Those who are strangers to headaches, let them handle dynamite in places whore the air is not In circulation, aud they won't be strangers long. "This is tho way minors are treated. If they complain relative to any wrongs or mistake in their accounts, they are blacklisted and given the grand bounce. It does not matter how good their moral and religious character, how just their cause, how able and expert their service or how exemplary their citizenship and social iifo, they aro blacklisted and kicked out. "The only difference between the coal miner of today and tho slave of 1860 is that one was sometimes sold away and this one is driven away from property, home and friends. Tho one, if caught running away, got tho lash to his back, the miner gets the snako at his heel to destroy him, sou 1 and body, to starve him aud his family out. "Jf any class has need to bo united, It's the miners of tho United States. Coal will go up, so it may, but it need not and should not. I havo mined tons of thousands of tons that did not cost to mine and clean it, 20 cents a ton. It has been and is today loaded into the mine cars, millions of tons, that do not cost to mine to the coal companies over 10 cents a ton and yet they charge enormous freights and a multitude of other excuses to ask Immense prices on what is so abundant in nature and so cheap. The only wonder is that the public suffers such an outrage upon rights, decency and common sense, as is imposed upon it by the trusts." Captured Both Pennants. Though the season lias not yet coine to a close, tho clubs which will win the championship pennants in the American and the National base bail leagues are known, and Pennsylvania has the unique honor of capturing both. The Philadelphia club of tho American league, popularly knowu as the Ath letics, stands first in tho race of lt or ganization and cannot be dislodged from its position under any circumstances. The victory was won In a contest which was in doubt until last Wednesday. In the National league tho Pittsburg club has a lead for first place which none of Its competitors can overcome. Tho fight for supremacy in this league did not attract much attention, as the Smoky City club has been looked upon for several weeks past as a suro winner. Local base ball followers are proud of the fact that both pennants will be In possession of state clubs during 1903 season. Noted Socialist Here. Benjamin 11 au ford, tho candidate of the Socialists for governor of New York, Is in the region delivering speeches in the Interest of the party in this county and state. Ho is one of the most able men in the ranks of the Socialists and his speochcs are attracting much atten tion. Mr. Han ford is at present a resident of Now York city, but some years ago was an employe of tho Philadelphia Times, where his fellow-printers regard ed him as an authority on economic subjects. He was a close student of political and industrial questions and finally cast his lot with the Socialists. The voters of New York may not eloct Mr. Hanford governor of their state next November, but if they should they will choose an executive who can fill the office with honor and credit. John J. Edwards, a formej well-known citizen of Wilkesbarre and at one time reputed to be one of tho wealthiest men in this part of Pennsylvania, applied at the United Charities room In that city the other day for something to eat and a place to lay his head. He says ho is 98 years of ago and penniless. Tho old man was provided for temporarily. Unless some friend como to his rescue he will be sent to the almshouse. A case which is attracting attention is that now being treated at the Mercy hospital, Wilkesbarre. Tho patient's intestines were perforated eight times in the same place whore President Wil liam McKlnley was shot, and he is re covering. He is Harold Heimbeingdor, of New York, who tried to commit suicide. Repairs are being made to the roof of St. Ann's church. MURDER TRIAL.
