It1 would be. very surprising if they were not , behind Sherman, whose fight is to get them as good terms as he succeeded In getting for 2800 other miners who. o aer working in the same district. . According to the statement made by Ms. Sherman he did nothing dishonorable, and In no way discredited the honor of the miners union. This was so apparent that the representative sent by the international' president seemed to be quite convinced. So the labor* trouble now resolves it self Into the original dispute when the men first went out and Is not complicated with any side Issues. The miners are asking for the same terms that have been given to the majority of the men in tho district without any strike trouble. That being the case, It seems as if it is an easy road for the strikers. To the outsider, unacquainted with the technicalities of the business it would seem that the miners can be asking for nothing very outrageous, when the majority ot -the operators, under similar conditions, without any argument, gave the requested regulations and the requested wages. The miners have brought to light one defect in the * Lemieux act, and probably the one very serious defect That is the long notice that isnrequlred for a board of conciliation. Had the miners been able to secure such a board on a couple.of days notice instead of on 30 days notice, in all probability they would have asked for the board. But with a strike in sight a wait of 30 days would be playing right into the hands of the operators and embarrassing the miners in their struggle*' - With some such change, which'may be made at this session.'the Leiaieux act would be found to be very much more workable." * « ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦•♦;♦♦♦ ♦ ' ♦ ♦ MINERS ' ♦ ♦ . . ♦ ♦ ■ Keep away from Nicola as ♦ ♦ there are too many men there ♦ ♦ now, arid the market Is over- ♦ ♦ crowded. *-a> Goal Operators are Now Willing to Discuss, but they Still Hug Fondly the Delusion That They can Make the Public Believe That .the .

Mr. Snider's visit will mean u brisk trade for the "fire escape manufacturers, for not twenty five per cent of these hotels were provided with theso appliances. In every case Mr. Snider ordered ono for each .floor, nud ropes reaching to the ground for ovory room. Tho cost figures up to from #75 to $200 in oach case.

Apart, however, from "these more material and financial reasons for rejoicing at the present clearing up of a wilfully befogged situation, and the consequent regaining by,both parties to the controversy of opportunity to inaugurate a fair and un- handicapped discussion of theii* respective intcresls, there is room °for wick'Spread rejoicing in the emphasis and publicity which this episode of unnecessary aud expensive delay must unavoidably contribute to the advancement of that general policy of common sense and fair play and decency which.

The fact that the device did explode thus prematurely is simply one more illustration of the great moral truth that the mere act of conspiring to take technical and unfair advantage of a confiding ■ unsuspicious fellow laborer, in the' working out "of a business agreement, does, indeed, so confuse and unsettle the judgment of the conspire'r himself that. ,-»sooner or later he bungles the seeming advantages —r—™—.. .._ 1.,.. __-,,y_ , .'.-,.. duct necessary to the carrying which lie ]magine*^inmseif-tD~have-gained-b*y^hisJ—- * " -strategy, and finds himself in the predicament of an'"engineer hoist by his own petard. " . Tlie existing status of affairs, then, is that the recalcitrant minority of our local coal operators— the "gun-toting bad men" so to speak, who through sheer love of combat have started out on a "high lonesome" and undertaken to "shoot up" our peaceful coal mining community, are seen from the documentary record to have signally failed iu their ill-judged attempt to deceive, first our local miners, who by the unforseen and .unavoidable illness of Distrief'l.-'resident Sherman were perceived to have been deprived of their most experienced counsellor; secondly,' the International officers of the U.M.W. of A. who by reason of their remoteness from Hie scene of action seem to have been considered an easy target for misleading statements and disingenuous explanations; and lastly, the general ■public itself, with its long and pathetic record of ready gullibility iii matters of trade union controversy. ously advocating as being the course of true and ultimate expediency no less than of uprightness. --■In other words, the wide,advertisement which will necessarily be given to this deserved failure of an attempt to win a victory over organized, labor by means of chicane and "business strategy,' must inevitably givo tremendous impetus to the educating of the average business mind to the fact ■ that in rat least that department of business activity, whicli is called for by the necessity of arranging terms of collective bargains' between corporations and their employees, the time has long gone by. when any permanent advantage can be gained by means of cunning or coercion, finding their con- congenial and appropriate atmosphere in bland and Hyperborean ignorance, of economic fact. The resistless advance of economic evolution is day by day laying heavier and heavier stress on the great bus- mess truth that labor power is the most important raw material that a business manager has to'buy;, and that,,the manager who fails to acquaint himself witli the last detail of the conditions which govern the production and organization and delivery of this labor power, is laying himself open to'be distanced by more wide awake managers, just as surely as would the purchasing agent who took no pains to inform himself concerning- the physical nature ancl the market conditions of any other pro- ou of his., plant.
