the delegates ought to have taken
this matter up before the election,
not afterwards.
It was ashed who was the scaffolding inspector, and who was responsible. It waa explained that
the present building inspector was
the scaffolding inspector.
A delegate asked If all the men
that worked on the contract at the
Auditorium were union men. The
Secretary-Treasurer said that every
man had a working card. : >
The President explained that the
Parliamentary Committee would continue to act until a new one waa appointed.
Treasurer Burns wanted to know
ga^ Pettipiece suggested that the if the cheap food scheme waa still
seven members be approached and
that the letter ao sent to the Parliamentary Committee to . act. This
wag concurred In..
Delegate Commerford asked for information as to the advertisement In
the Belfast Evening News for men
and women to come to British Columbia. Delegate Pettipiece thought
that the Salvation Army did not want
Oar side of the question. But they
had been stirred up by the statement
of Mr. Trotter in England. Coroner Coombs, in answer to s

over as there was plenty of room
here. It was suggested that the Secretary write to all the papers with
the advertisement in. But it was
thought better to send all the Infor-

Secretary stated was being done
every week.
The Secretary-Treasurer was instructed to purchase matting for the
Auditorium.
Ten dollars Were donated to the
Dominion Trades Congress.

Garment Workers' Union referring to
the action of the Trades and Labor

Work Is still slack, but we are hoping for better times. Still all shoold
be done by Individual members to
write to friends and relatives to
keep away from Vancouver, aa there
seems to be enough men here to do
all the work in the building trades
for some time to come. This every
member can do and it will eventually
greatly help all worker. In this city.
One great difficulty- here Is the cost
of bricks. I do not know If any notice waa taken of my remark. In the
last Issue, but there seems to me to
be a good opening in this city for
thi. man', contract. Do not let this
slip by you, but try and do something in the matter.
I trust that .our. alteration In receiving pay every two weeks Instead
of every week will be an advantage
to the builders of this city. And the
move we took in the matter was for

Organised labor baa not reached

are np factory laws, save those Which
exist for the good of the factory
owners. The employes are never
considered in these laws.
According to the official statistics for 1903, there were 41,450 Children, male and female, from eight
to fourteen years old, employed In
various factories of Japan. This
estimate we may regard as rather
conservative, since there are no laws
and no persons to compel a truthful
report about the matter. These children work from twelve to seventeen
hours a day. Twelve hour. I* the
regular working day, but this day is
often stretched into fifteen and seventeen hours. !!*.���*�������������> \tedj ���
The wages of the children vary according to the kind of work done, the
average wage being from seven to
ten sen. In match and paper factories the wage la from four to Ave sen
a day. The moat miserably paid
workers, however, are in the glass
factories, and the conditions under
which children work there are no
less miserable and cruel. --

of from eight to thirteen years of
age, who are veriuble slaves to
their masters, the employers, and the

are apprenticed by parent., who
trust to the wisdom of the employers,
and never doubt their ability to care
for and teach a trade to their children, nor do they question the employers' rights In their method, of
forcing the greatest amount of labor
possible from the young toilers. On
the other hand, the children are'too
young to know anything about organisation, and the Idea of rebellion,
