The monev which lias been generously contributed has been given to relieve the press ing necessities of the" moment, but the future gives cause, for deep concern. In three months winter will bo here and by that time it will be necessary to° havo homes of some kind for the whole population. Horo than 90 per cent, of the people hero lost everything they possessed in thc W£lS aPP°inted to mcjl U"J ,r-licf recent conflagration, and while many comnliU(i0 U\[s mornI"8 wiUl «*»•■* r' of them will have insurance to enable them to rebuild, there- are over 200 miners iu addition to mill hands and other members of tho population who will mediately, available, with which to make a. beginning on a'new home. it will be' necessary - to make some provision., for these at once. They must be assisted to buy clothing, bedding, kitchen utensils, and what is most important, toIbuild a shack or kitchen in- which to live during the cold winter:- Tents and even out door spaces may answer for summer "A despatch to the- Winnipeg Telegram from Fernie says: A largely .. tended meeting of workingmen wns held on the recreation grounds last night to discuss ,thc present condi tions of the relief work.

C, July 31, 1908 liditor District 'Ledger: Bear Sir,—1 read in your valuable paper July 2oth's issue whoro tho W. l*\ -M. now in Convention at Denver, Colo., wero discussing closer allilia- tion .with the U. M. ,V. of A. 1 think that if it could be done it would bo ono of tho grandest things for tho" workors ' throughout this great Western country. 1 would like to see District and International oflicers do their utmost for that purpose for with tlie quartz miners and coal miners bound closer together they could present a powerful position. It behooves the workers in this ^ ! liOth century to get closer together 4 j instead of iigAtiiig euch other for ♦ 1 remember the capitalists do not - ijunrrel amongst -themselves. Their main point is how to skin the worker and 1 must say Air, Jidi'tor thoy aro pretty successful. Now us,an old Federation member, tiiis closer tUHliution is going to bo uo snap to bring about and tlioso who handle .tho job successfully deserve great credit. As thero arc a great many members of the \V. F. M. who think the U. M, W. of A. aro bo- hind the times and in some respects probably . they ' wore' right, but tho \j. M. W. of A. have changed their luetics considerable these last ' few years, more especially in B. 0. As lighters the" W. F. M. need no recommendation but in lighting thoy have, mme at it a littlo blindly. • I think so which 1 will try to show later. 1 see in the'discussion at tho, convention tho delegates object to tho cheek-off and contract system. Now this is one of the reasons an active member of the Federation gave mo about two years age why he objected, to the check-oil'. Because the mas tor knew just how much funds were paid into the union and therefore knew your exact strength, but is it not better to have a fow thousands at the. back of you and tho capital- know it, than have none and lie (the capitalist.) not know.it and I doubt whether he would not know it as the man with the big Diamond has a way of. knowing* everything he'wants to.

Is there a ■greater demand for " coai now than there was" a month'• or so ago. Personally I don't think there is. ' To me there seems to be some other purpose for increasing the output at these different mines in District 18. All the miners in District 18 aro well aware of the fact that our present agreements will terminate in March, 15)09. Thero fore it behooves every man in this District to tako particular notice of what is going on in tho district so that he may get in touch with the different conditions existing throughout tho district. If you will just refer back to tho striko twelve iiiontlis ago last May .you , wi'l lememoor tho conditions of the coal markets. Industries of all kinds were at a. stnno. still for the want of coal, in fact people were actually starving for -the want of coal. Even our railways word practically at a standstill. The only things that were shipped" through the , country at that timo were- tilings of a perishable nature. It is my contention that tlie operators of this district don't intend for these "cricos to exist again. The idea of increasing the output is a scheme of thc operators to fill the markets and havo a big surplus of con! on hand, lor ihe termination of oi' present agreements, which will terminate on the 31st day of March, tOOS, so that in caso of a light at tho termination of 'our present agreements they will bo in a better position f.:Xt March than they were sixteen months ago.' .It's up to the men of District 18 to try and stop this surplus of coal, to try and prevent thc market being hooded with coal, because if tho markets are in a flooded condi-' tion at the termination of the pro- sent- agreements we arc .J in bio to go up against something we least expect. In other countries they have to adopt ways and means by which lo stop this over production, ■ Therefore I don't seo why we can't do the same. Therefore 1 hope and trust that the oflicers and members of District 18 U. M. W. of a! will uso all possible moans to prevent the overproduction of coal during the' next eight months..

STRIKE Bell Hardy Makes a Comprehensive Statement The official' statement was issued' at Montreal on behalf of the men by Mr. Bell Hardy, gen.ral chairman of th'e Federated Trades of the Median, ical and Car Department of the C. P., R. system, and is as follows. Organised labor has to answer for many things, and thi action" of the employees on the Canadian Pacific Railway in leaving 'their work today will be condemned by some having little knowledge ,of the cause, and caring 1 >bs, and in some instances by those out' of sympathy with the movement as instanced in thc local morn, ing English ..sp aking paper. Think, ing people, however, are fast getting to understand that b'fore there can be ,a strike of such, magnitude, there must be a cause for' dispute, and while the hi.story of this one lias been very fully reported in western papers little has been published of an enlightening nature in this city by those in a position to influence public opinion. The dispute arose through the company's abrogating , schedule agreements on the western lines, and posting certain .rules in the. shops. The purpose of this act was recog. nzed by the m ,n as an effort to reduce wages, and eventually destroy the or. ganizations". The men had I been working hYilf time all winter on western linjs, while on the eastern lines, where no attack had been made, full lime had been the rule. This discrim. ination was believed by the men to liave for its object the destruction of organized labor in the west, while the eastern men lay in fancied security. .Subsequent events have proven this belief w.ll founded. The men east .and .west belonging to one, - and the same organiziition determined to resist the attack, but before anything could be done after the refusal of the company to with, draw the posted notices, application had to be made under the law for an investigation into the dispute by a board appointed by. the .government, es "on western lines. The secondary cause of the'strike was the d.termiri- ed oppositin of the company to the inquiry -and the hindrances thrown in the way of proper, investigation'. The immediate cause of th-> strike was the arbitrary action' of the company in posting notices in the shops in lieu of a mutually compiled schedule agreement. (Signed) - BELL-.HARDY. CONTRARY TO LEMIEUX ACT Ottawa, Aug. 10—The labor d--part: mentct.iis morning pointed out that talk of sympathetic strikes by other railway men's unions to aid the strik. ing C. P. R. mechanics as has been suggested would be a violation of the L mieiix act which says that no strike can occur in connection with any public utility, prior to investigation by the board of conciliation'nnd investigation. This would debar any union of C P. R. employees' from go. ing on 'strike now without becoming liable to severe penalties provid d in the Lemieux act. Telegraphers some months ago applied for a board of conciliation to investigate th? alleged wrongful dismissal of an operator at Megantic, Que. The board has, not yet report, ed its finding but ii is understood it will be in favor,, of the men and the company will hz prevail.d upon to accept the award. Tlie department also announced that it is taking no part in the settlement, of,the strike at present. BARS CLOSED AT FERNIE CO. A, McDougall, Mgr.

In answer to the criticism, "Why did the men apply for; a board and then refuse its finding?' I say, the only defence organized labor has is the power to strike, and the law having deprived us "of that power, we were compelled to make aplieation for a board, which was done in April, 1908. ■ The application made by the men was for a board to investigate and d.al with questions arising, on both western and .eastern lines, stating to the department it wns impossible to conciliate oiie.hnlf of. the organization while the other half wns,on strike or disputing with th? company. While tin. men wore compelled to aHk for n board, willing or not willing, they wore also prepared to give tho 'act' a fair trurl, but on th'e otcr hand the company oppos d tho application, and from start lo finish placed ob. stool es in the way of n proper inquiry. If this policy of the coinpnjiy1''wii8 for Ihe purpose of discrediting the "act" •ind overawing or intimidating the membero of tlin hoard, it was success, fill in ii nioiiHiir1, ns u close perusal of tlie award will disclose. The mil. jirity finding1* signed by tlu; oh air. iiiiui of tho.board nud the eoinpnny's ivprtiHcntfltivc, deal lightly with thu questions consider'd vital by tlm men, nnd tn some instance-1 tho con. nl unions are inconsistent. There is evidence of snap judgments, lock of understanding or intollig nt consideration of whnt thiiii* finding meant, little, attention to detail, the -wholo li?. ing a weak attempt at compromise. The minority report subniittd by tho men's representative shows up many of tlio inconsistencies, and when both appeared littlo doubt was entertain.*d by either thu company or tho com. mlttee looking nftor the men's in. tfiri'HtR, on how tlv mon would volo.

Thero may be some things that our mcrchunis have not got in stock, but they can get them al any lime, and get them just as cheap as'ypu could purchase them at Katun's or any other place.' This is no time to turn up your nose ut what your merchant offers, make the best oi it, and remember that before thc lire your merchant carried you from month to month,- and. whenever you were short of mon ey irom any cause he would see you through. Do not turn him down now by sending all thc ready money you,can scrape up out of town, to a linn like the above mentioned, or any other such. Deal at home. Help to rebuild your own city.

Vou must stick strictly to your original prices, the citizens will not stand for- any increase. J1' you could soil nt 11 certain price before the firo, you can do so now, and-it' you wish to keep tiie trade at homo you will do so. If you increase the price on (ho goods that you handle you cannot blame the people for sending a wny to departmental stores in the east for what they require, Two or three instances have been brought to our attention regarding un increased charge made on some goods by the, murchiiiils who were Ihe first lo open up, This ,is a very poor .system. This is tho vnry Wit'y to drive (lie trade nwny from your city, anil you have only your own greedy, avaricious self to blinne when lh" citizens send away to outside places In order lo gel their supplies at a proper and legitimate figure, lfeniember we want only whal i,s fair from elll/en In merchant, Neither will stand for greediness, full together and Kendo will arise strong er thnn over.

Title | The District Ledger |
Publisher | Fernie, B.C. : W. S. Stanley |
Date Issued | 1908-08-15 |
Description | The Nakusp Ledge was published in Nakusp, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, from October 1893 to December 1894. The paper was subsequently published as the Ledge both in New Denver, from December 1894 to December 1904, and in Fernie, from January to August 1905. The Ledge was published by Robert Thornton Lowery, a prolific newspaper publisher, editor, and printer who was also widely acclaimed for his skill as a writer. After moving to Fernie, the paper continued to be published under variant titles, including the Fernie Ledger and the District Ledger, from August 1905 to August 1919. |
