MINING JOURNAL.
FRQ9TBPRG, MD„ A.IMUL 15,1883.
A vast amount of Bluff is retailed
by the amateur press of country
cities aLout the legal rights of em
ployer and employed, just as though
everybody was as ignorant of each
judicial lore us the editors themselves
are of cquuahlo and moral rights.
“Employers and employed" occupy
all the sr ace within their range of
vision. Not long ago a preacher pre
faced a sermon upon the parable cf
the Prodigal Bon somewhat as follows :
lu commenting upon this topic a vest
majority ol ministers will elaborate the
sinful character of the son who “wasted
his substance in riotous living, etc., and
extol bis repentant return to the home
stead. The aged father, relenting Ins
condemnation of the prodigal’s conduct,
receives full attention. Even the fatted
calf comes in for a share of glorification.
I shall not to day follow their example
I shall attempt to tell you something of
that mean, sordid, low, piratical son, who
staid at home and carried on the farm, etc.
In much the same style newspaper
readers are regaled upon the vices of
the “parties of the first part, and the
virtues of those of the “second part,"
but never a word about the wonderful
“third party" who steps in, simplifies
and settles all difficulties—the immac
ulate blackleg—the modern traitor to
his class, yet the subject of a special
agis, and the pet pretege of the State.
This character deserves much more
notice that that given in the meagre
statement that “new labor, probably
Poles and Swedes, will certainly he
introduced, unless," etc. He is a fac
tor too important to be ignored. Ho
is the single, the exclusive, the abso
lute arbitrator of oapilal-lubor dis
putes. He is the only court, the
only juryman in our system who can
legally constitute himself the benefi
ciary of his own decrees. With all
this favor, all this power of command,
he appears lo be good for nothing
eke then cutting Gcidian knots tied
in the progress cf labor troubles.
The thief of somebody’s employment,
he provides occasion for exile of life
long citizens, or submission to a roign
of ferco in a land of liberty.
This strain might go on to some
length. But we stop to ask if his in
troduction here, as threatened, is re
ally necessary? Is it proper? Is
it right ? Is it warranted by the sit
uation ? If so, is there ne escape ?
Come, gentlemen operators, unbend
a little. Is it a small matter to rev
olutionize this populalien ? Is the
conversion of this region into a mili
tary camp a trifling adventure? Is
the saving of, say twenty cents per
ton, full compensation to you for the
terrific loss of values and business to
the people here? Is the subjugation
of this people an investment safe and
permanent as some fair, liberal course
which avails that venture ? Enjoy
ing a giant’s power, is it manly to
übj it like a giant ? to exile those who
will not submit and crush those who
remain?
Wo are questioning in a realm out
side of legal rights and powers, but
scarcely less pertinent. Are summa
ry proceedings, however lawful as in
dicated, approved by public policy—
a principle which goes far toward the
enactment of law, and which never
justifies its enforcement, to its own
detriment? In short, gentlemen, will
it not be far safer lo give yourselves the
“benefit of the deuht ? ’
History has pilloried these who
have forced ixpatiiation for far great
er cause than exists here for a changed
population. It is still its high office
to record Cromwellian antics and
Napoleonic hazards. Indeed, it is a
part of our own duty to chronicle
passing events, and to the extent cf
our ability wo expect to place any
outrage upon the people before the
p üblio in its true significance.
The Cumberland News tries its
Land on a conundrum and fails:
The Baltimore County Herald is now
owned ami edited by JohuT. Eusor and
Josbui F. Bensou. The former is a strong
Republican, and tlio latter is as strong a
Democrat, Whether the paper will bo
one patty's one week or the otb :r’s tlie
next, or each parly have o side to itself,
or what the peculiar combination will do,
remains to bo seen. It certainly counot
be neutral,or all’one way, with two such
opposing partisans as partners.
The thing is just as easy of solution
a? a weather indication. Tho Her
ald is a democratic paper with Mr.
Benson as editor, etc. Mr. Ensor will
doubtless take charge of tho local and
news departments, and we are lan
guaging when wo remark that "boss
ism” in both parties residing in and
around Towson is a thing of the past.
By a new variety of spectrum ar.aly
tys a gilt-edged political Arcadia may
be discerned springing up alongside
the grass, potatoes and onions in that
picturesque neighborhood.
The final report of the-late Treas
urer of the county has not been given
the public, although we learn our
f nanclal affairs were never in hotter
> condition. The exercise of prudent
but firm management by our intelli
gent board of Commissioners will
kep tbs county’s credit up to tho
highest itandard, and at the same time
gradually lessen tho burdens of the
taxpayers. Let us have the report.
Some indignation is manifested over
the Council's action prohibiting the
lighting of the streets after Thursday
night. This was done, it is said, be
cause the gas company failed to lay
mains on tho hill within a definite pe
riod. On the other hand, the compa
ny has teen unable for several co
gent reasons to do the work. An im
pression prevails that the Council is
pleading the “Baby Act.”
CORRESPONDENCE
queen cn rjoi Tinas.
Cumberland, Mn., April lit, 1883.
To Hie Mining Journal ;
Tho coming Congressional nomina
tion theme is beginning to loom up in
political circles, and since tho lion.
r Lloyd Lowndes has positively assert
ed that ho will not be a candidate,
the Hon. William Brace becomes tho
’ central figure in tho republican polit
ical horoscope, while the Hon. James
t M. Sidiley says that he will be the
i democratic nominee for the reason
1 that it by right belong to him, and
we all know that everybody gets
1 their rights in politics. Both the
; abovo named gentlemen are absolutely
in the field for Congressional honor*.
, Berry Williard will undoubtedly
be the republican nominee for Mayor
of Cumberland this spring, while the
democratic honor lies between Alex
ander McFerran and Alexander King,
i ex-city magistrate.
The present term of Court promises
lo be short and the grand jury will
likely finish its work to-morrow and
as one result of their labors some of
our prominent saloon-keepers will
likely hear from tho Sheriff in a few
days.
Balletins conveying intelligence of
tie strike in Clearfield were displayed
yesterday, producing as hearty con
gratulations among our citizens as
could possibly be felt along the Creek,
showing a heartfelt sympathy with
ou,r miners in their now promised
successful resistance to the companies’
strike for lower wages. ***
GENERAL ITEMS.
One thousand quarrymen at Le
mont, 111., have struck for higher wa
ges. The mill hands of Flemming
Bros., at McGreger, lowa, have also
struck.
Several hundred miners in the
mines about Cambridge, Ohio, have
struck against a reduction to C2J
cents per ton.
The shipwrights at New Bedford,
Mass., have struck for thirty cents an
hour. They have been leceiviug
twenty-five cents. Thev gave a
i week’s notice of their demand, and
. refuse to go to work on Monday.
1 Six of the marble-cutting firms in
1 Now York heve yielded to the de
mands of their workmen for increased
pay, ($2 a day (o polishers and $2.50
, to cutters.) Fifty of the principal
builders have agreed to pay carpen
ters $3.50 per day.
The privilege of subscribing to ctus
for exclusive use of tho Cumberland
coal trade, which was offered by tho
Pennsylvania Railroad Company ex
pired Monday. Tho operators enter
into an agreement to take onra fur
their special use at a rental of S3O per
year for three yearo. About 1,500
have been engaged.
Demoeest for May.— We wel
come this monthly, well knowing
that its cm tents will please and in
struct. Tho illustrations in cil, rlco!
and wood, are equal to its past excel
lence, and by many will t o consid
ered superior. “Tho Iliglilau 1
Breakfast" is a charming cabinet;
“Duck and Green Peas,” and “Pl:a-be !
Mayflower,” are excellent. "he
twenty-seven articles comprised in
its literary repertoire should rlease,
entertain, and instruct every class of
readers. The fashions of the day are
nowhere so accurately set forth na in
Ecmoreii , while a mass of infamation
on kindred topics make the most
complete two dollar magazine the
world has ever seen. If you do not
tr.ke this valuable adjunct to the |
household, send twenty cents for a j
copy to the publishers at 17 Fast 14t,h
Street, N. Y.
ADDITIONAL LOCALS.
The Situation. Reports were
current Wednesday that tho Clear
field miners had struck for an ad
vance of 15 cents per ton, but they
could not be definitely asccitf.inid ns
reliable. Tho Philadelphia Inquirer
of Tuesday, however, corroborates
the rumors and says “tho turners cf
coal in tho Cleai field region have
issued a circular to the operators
asking an advance in wages of 15
cents per ten on and after Satin day
next.” The same paper interviewed
a large Clearfield operator resident
in that city who said that “in the
Cumberland region the miners own
thoir own houses, and hence they
have held out as long as they have.
“But,” the operator continued, “if
my men were to strike it would not
take'me ton days to start new men
in, because we own all their Louses
and let them to the miners on ten day
leases."
New York Coal reports the bitu
minous trade demoralized and fore
sees the employment of mrelgn labor
here. Its Philadelphia correspondent
sees that a strike in Clearfield will
come. Id Chicago its represenative
is confident no trouble exists in the
Cumberland region, as he has seen a
telegram from large operators here
stating their mines were still running
at 55 cents per ton. Matters in
Pittsburg tre reported as reaching a
crisis.
Cleai field opoinlorsin Philadelphia
express tho opinion that while their
miners intimate a desire for an in
crease, they do not mean it. Their
circular is comidered weak.
! The nows of action iu Cleai field
was received in this region with
lively satisfaction, and it is held that
| if the miners over there Lave the
requisite amount of backbone, the
plans of the companies will bo con
siderably unsettled and that 65 cents
will rule at Ust.
Tho notice of the Clearfield miners
asks for an advance ot 15 cents per
' ton and other labor in proportion ; al
so fer a conference, naming on their
i own behalf, Messrs. A. D. Farms, 0.
■ B. Sheitz, Isaac Lsney, William Dug
-1 gau and John W. Jonts. An answer
is cxpcited to-day. The miners prom

i ference.
