C, July 17tli, 1909 $1.00 a, Year SOLDIERS TO SJAY WHILE TROUBLE IS ON \ Glace Bay Kicks on Expense But to No Purpose—Powers That Be Show Their Hand I* GLACE BAY, July 14—The centre of interest tonight was the town ha'.l at the council's weekly meeting wh :n tho presence of the militia came up; The town council chamber aad hails were reinforced, by the crowd in tlie street.' It was expected that some action would be taken by the council. Councillor McDonald moved'a r.-solu tion, a final clause, stating that In the opinion of the council, it will be necessary to retain the soldiers -until the cause of the disturbance has been removed. , _•,. As'soon as the resolution was beforo the, meeting Councillor Tobin. 'arose -and' said that he was going to object, to the motion being put as it would ha~ve to be treated as a notice of motion, but-it went ahead. Deputy, Mayor Tobin objected to the way in which the riot act had been read,,the sheriff having been brought to Glace. Bay in a special train the night before and the, Riot Act having been read in broad day light when- they was apparently little necessity. He spoke of the hardships • endured by the women last winter and extolled them for their bravery. He said the soldiers cost $1000 a day. The soldiers were too much under the thumb of the Coal Company. *• Finally he moved an amendment, that a meeting of ratepayers be called to consider the resolution and the question of cost.'- 0 ap- Councillor McDonald said it was all nonsense about the cost of the soldiers being one thousand dollars a day and gave figures to show that the cost to the town was no more than two hundred and fifty dollars a day. The town's 181 special police pointed by th mayor wll cost i<s much as tho soldiers. The mayor said he thought the strile ers as well as the men in the mines ought to be protected. Repudiation was the only way to get clear of the expense. The amendment was defeated on a vote of nine to two, so the soldiers will stay until the strike is over. - _ . An increased output of 20 tons from the mines yesterday was claimed by the company. The steamer Ocean sailed from Sydney for Montreal with a* cargo of seven thousand tons. Other stores are loading. INVERNESS, aTuly 14—Good order prevails,,here. The company reports that four hundred and eighty tons of coal were hoisted yesterday and tbat three hundred and fifty tons were loaded from the bank. More men are, at work than any day since the trouble began. The strikers aro gradually returning' to work. A Belgian miner has been committed at Port Hood on a charge of assault. Tho presence of the troops is having the desired effect. The company claim they will be kept here for some time yet. 0 - ORANGE CELEBRATION The\original intention of the Orangemen of Fernie was to join Cranbrook in a celebration.

One can hardly take up a paper these days without Anility*; some instance of j Rovernmcnt oppression and editorials | not secure took from the Americans in his railway speculations. . Warren Hastings did, . not despoil Hindustan of as great treasure as Ryan and Belmont looted from the traction lines of New York. Lucillus spent 8,500 dollars on a single feast and was considered extrava gam, but now that much is often expended for the single matter of flowers at swell parties. Caesar when he conquered Gaul did :is great tribute as .1. P. thereon. • ! Morgan secured from manipulation of Those wise editorials declare we' ihe. stock of the Central railway in should of course, insist upon freedom! Georgia. of speech, of press, and of assembly,. Sulla levied a tribute of 25,000.000 lint ihai does not mean freedom to at- dollars on-'tho conquered cities of tack the government, Iho authorities Greece, but the sugar trust in one year of the ruling class. , They declare, we should of course have freedom to speak and write, but not to preach anarchism, socialism or other subversive doctrine. Apparently in the minds of most Americans there is much' confusion. One is constantly surprised to find certain people tacitly approving the action, of a lawless public in denying to some unpopular person the right to express his or her views. But if liberty of speech and of press means anything, it means that any American citizen has the right to say what he pleases. He may. attack the government, criticize public officials and advocate any reform, revolution or doctrine.-'-"' lie has the right to believe in any religious, political, or economic doctrine. But freedom of speech and of press carries with it a responsibility. If any man says that* which causes injury to another, he may properly be ' held responsible for what he ha!s said. • If he urges violence and someone is murdered as tlie result of his words; he maybe held responsible. It "lie utters a libel, wrongly accuses another man he may bee held responsible. _^Me___arfi_assu_rcd freedom of action, but- if, I"commit a theft,-, assault or ''murder another,'I am held responsible. That does not infringe upon any liberty which I should wish to possess. Under thc constiution of the United States a man may believe what lie pleases, preach what he pleases and write what he pleases, But If what he writes or preaches causes another to lose,life, property or reputation, that individual has the right to take action against the preacher or the writer in ■ question. Our police, army and various state executives have no right whatever to ■ interfere with any man who expresses his or hor views upon any subject whatsoever. They aro criminal and lawless when thoy attempt to Interfere with the freedom guaranteed under the constitution of the United Stales. For tho polico to stop Emma Gold- mnn from sponklni*, and lo hound hor wherever sho goon Is for tho polico to act. us hoodlums and lynchers. The postal authorities net ns criminal!* when they refuse tho malls lo certain political publications. Tho president, of the United States Is a tyrant, when ho drums up absurd (iliUfgoH to crush a pnper which opposes his political views. Il Is moiiHli'iious that any American citizen should applaud lho police when ll forces Its wny Inlo a hall lo censor lho speech of any man or woman In this country.

Pizarro did not secure by torture of the Incas of Peru as much as Harriman has recently gotten from the people of America, and the sufferings entailed by his worlc, exceeded the sufferings caused by Pizarro. Cleopatra dissolved in wine a pearl valued nt 400,000 dollars, and the world wondered at her wicked extravagance; but in New York it Is comparatively common to squander as much at a supper and nothing is thought of il.—Exchange. in him. A man of the loftiest type of patriotism, etc." ■ What's this to do with the-tariff? Nothing. And .Mr. Wage Slave, who reads this, the tariff has nothing to do with you. It's your master's business. Let him worry ovei; it aiid fight about it. I have mentioned it only to show you, who deserted the party of your class and voted for the political servants of the capitalist class, what you voted for, and how little you "can expect from them. You will got a subsistence wago, when' employed, and charity or starvation when unemployed, whether that, august body of senators , doubles the tariff rates or abolishes them entirely. Tariff debates, corporation tariff, and other rot of like character, tend to take our minds otf the only issue before the( 'working class now, and' that issue is the abolition of the capitalist system. Work for it! Vote for-it! REVISION DOWNWARD By Horace S. Reis in Chicago Daily Socialist. The approved Republican method of getting elected to office is' to promise the voters something. It doesn't matter, afterward, if the promise is forgotten, the foolish votes having been cast. Mr. Taft a strict, party regular, followed this plan when he was a candidate-for the office of president last year. He promised to have the tariff revised— downward. He got many .votes from those who believed in him, and who,thought that a revision of the tariff, downward would make 'cheaper tlie" things they must buy. Voters who did not understand that the function of a class government is to protect the interests of the ruling class. The antics of the senate, at th''*? present writing are teaching these voters that the capitalist class wants the senate to revise tlie tariff, upward . And Taft's campaign promises? Oh, pshaw, what's a promise anyway. The only use for his old last year promises now Is to furnish a few words of argument to Senator Beverldge why he wants a peculiar schedule lowered. As for Senator Oildrlch—bogjiis pardon Aldrich—and the majority of the senate, they'proceed calmly on their way to the upward revision, coolly Ignoring tho pledges of their party nnd its last- year's standard bearer. Says Collier's Weekly, editorially, In Its Issue of June 19: "It la President Taft, not tho senate, that must mnko good to tho peoplo. The fionnto made no promises. President Taft must olth* or voln llieblll to prove to the pooplo .... that tho tariff bill which he signs is a substantial revision downward. , , , Let there be no mlslako nbout the facts. In the sonnto tho lnriff Is not being revised downward. ' IJut President. Taft will nol velo the bill. IIo'h instructed.

GOMPERS SAILS TODAY ' Robert Hunter: Samuel Gompers is to sail today for a trip through the chief countries of Europe to attend several important congresses of labor. He will be.treated with consideration and respect by the labor, and Socialist movements of Europe, because he represents two million' of American work ingmen. The journey should be an instructive one. From the time he touches for eign soil until the day he sets foot in New York again he will find no work ingmen with caps in'their hands. In England he* will see one million five hundred thousand trade unionists organized for "political action. He will see men from field, factory and workshop fighting Liberals and Tories, determined to lake government in' iheir own hands and to run it for the common weal. ' ■ ** In the chief cities of Great Britain er he'will meet face to face a single injunction, and' from one end of Bur- ope to the other he will not find a sin* gle trade union discussing or considering the voting of money to employ lawyers to fight, losing battles in an enemy's court.' We are glad Mr. Gompers is going abroad. We trust he will meet tho chief trade union leaders of Europe. .We hope he will discuss with them the methods they are now employing for the emancipation of labor. There is a crisis in this country. La- hoi* lias nothing ahead of it but irritation, anguish and defeat, unless It adopts new methods of warfare. . The American Federation of Labor is'now the only large body of workingmen left ln any white man's country accepting voluntarily political servitude. A BUNCH OF QUOTATIONS The following quotations are made from Plechanoff's work entitled "Anarchism .and Socialism." Unless otherwise stated the paragraphs are written by Plechanoff himself, "There are many of the younger or of the more ignorant comrades-who are inclined to,take words for deeds, high sounding phrases for acts, mere sound and fury ,for revolutionary activity,' and who are young and too ignorant, to know that much sound and fury, indicate nothing.'!—Eleanor Marx Aveling. * * * Need for Industrial Organization "Recent events in the labor movement in Belgium, France, Russia, Italy and America have made all thinking Socialists realize that revolutionary organization on the economic field is, to say the least, equally, as essentia! as revolutionary organization on the political field.

I. supported by a weekly allowance from a son in New .York, wore burned to death in their bed early yesterday. The victims were Townsend Our- rity. aged 79, and his wlfo Cy,.lhia. who was ust SO. The police are disposed to believe the old people were the victims of a robbery and Incendiary, but neighbors think that a lamp which Mr. and Mrs. Garrity kept burning in their bedroom, all night may have started the fire. When the firemen arrived from the village, a quarter of a mile away, they found Peter Zetklatich, the landlord, who lived on the first floor, outside the house and the doors locked. He was arrested and will be held till the case is cleared up, although his account of the fire and his escapo by jumping through a window is accepted as a creditable explanation.

Coal Miner's Strike in Nova Scotia Funny in Spots-Woman a Prominent Factor in The Struggle INVERNESS.N.B. July 12—The Belgian women were out in full force with the U. M. W. pickets at four o'clock this morning to prevent men going to work in the "coal mines. The Royal Canadian regiment pickets had been posted. There was much jeer* ing, and occasionally sucks and a fow stones,were flying. One man was arrested for interfering with the police but was discharged by the stipendiary. At four o'clock the men knocked off work and the soldiers were on duty and no one was interfered with. A sergeant and a squad of five men are guarding the railway trestle, a mile out of town, night and day as threats were made that, no coal would evor-go out of Inverness. A magistrate was all ready to read the Riot act if necessary and a number of special police were also at the trestle. While the soldiers are here no ser ious trouble Is anticipated. One hundred and thirty men were at work today and quite a number of men would have been at work, but they were away on the Orangemen's excursion, Four hundred tons of coal were got ten out, which is about one-third the usual amount. ' " ■Turned Down the Mayor . GLACE BAY, N. S. July 12—The controversy, between the mayor and militia came to, an end this afternoon by tbe police committee revoking the mayor's appointment of special police. The .mayor had sworn in several hundred special policemen from the ranks of the strikers and these specials were aiding the strikers by acting as pickets and turning back men who were desirous of working. ■ They have clashed several times here with the county police and on Saturday the ludicrous scene was-witnessed of two rival policemen putting each other under arrest. The county man finally won out as the special turned out to be' an Italian, who had not been In the country long enough to become a naturaliz- .Another Funny Muddle GLACE BAY, July 13—Councillor Tobin added new" complications to the already somewhat muddled police situation here today when he swore into office, a. number of special constables who were dismissed by the police committee yesterday.

II. Grant re the Hillcrest pillar work. The Hoard was absolutely rigid . The idea ot! asking the men to take twenty per cent loss for their Jiard labor when (lie company is getting a higher price for its coal, and milking the men pay 20 (d 30 per cent, more for theii- house rent. Hill has always been a-bone-of contention, as he tries to grind down Uio men al I'vcry stage and they will not si a nil for it. A postcard was mailed in Toronto to a Fernie address, minus the necessary stamp.y It reached Fernie, from whence it was sent'to the dead letter office .at Vancouver. Tlie addressed party in Fernie is then notified that by sending the sum of one cent in legal currency the 'post card will be forwarded to the owner, otherwise it* is kept in pound No doubt this may.be proper and the correct method of procedure but to ordinary folks it looks like a lot of rubbish. I would like .to ask Mr. Crawford if I did any other work such as he did— dig ditches, pack- timbers, work double shifts.or. dig .coal"when the men were looking for their rights. I -say no, W. N. Reid never asked Mr. Crawford to a smoker that the membev.s of Middlesboro local union were holding, but I asked him to a smoker that was gott,up by outsiders as well as members of different locals. It seems to me no matter what petty position any man may hold he can act,fair to hid employer and the employees without prejudice. . I have said this much iu explanation of my position. ' . Yours truly Q W. N. REID: ' The miners are an awful mean class of people. They kick when llioy have to work in a mine where they get drenched in *'wet places." They kick when they' are in Tf room that.-is so chuck full of gas that their lights go out, and when their rooi' is faulty or their chutes flat. Now you do not find their -friends, the operators, kicking when they have to'work in a richly furnished ami thickly carpeted office where they have all the conveniences that money can buy. Oh no. the miners are terrible. .* "When a strike is on. the employers stop at no end of expense in housing scabs, hiring special detectives, and put up with all sorts of inconveniences with materially decrease their output and earniirgs All told these extras run' into enormous sums. Yet when honest and competent workmen ask for increases, the total of which would be a mere trifle in comparison to the sum wasted in fighting them they a're invariably refused. Yet this is called splendid executive abililv. ' , ■ Elsewhere is published an account of another postal gravel train delivery. The surrounding if ihe case were such that immediate and prompt delivery was essential,, To make a long story short the fact is that this letter was at the local post- office from June 27 to July 14. Another letter was there from June 2!) to July 1-i. 'Ihe geniu- man to whom the letters were addressed, has a box in the office, and also inquired daily for letters. Just how this seemingly glaring neglect can be explained is hard to imagine. , A rigid examination is in order. .The city-recently purchased a street sprinkler, one of the latest design, and all that, but during the dusty weather it is used very sparingly.. hei. if be kept going by all means. Tt is certainly not meant to stand by the fire hall as an ornamenL while the dust is being driven around the streets much to the annoyance of pedestrians and business men. (! . The action of the City Council in appointing a fire warden to patrol the section at present being cleared is timely*and commendable. Prevention is always "better than cure, and the fact that half the expense is defrayed by the Elk Lumber Co. makes the cost small .indeed to the city. This same policy if carried out tinder government auspices during the dry season to a greater extent, would certainly curtail Ihe intent of damage done bv bush fires. •, - July Hat -.

Thc approach of August 1 brings to mind the fact that as yet no definite arrangements.have been made to mark in some way the0advent.of that day True the Hoard of Trade have taken some steps, but whether they have been followed up or not is not .known. ., The day should be marked in some suitable way, not necessarily bv a holiday or cclc- n The Itfland Sentinel of Kamloops is the latest to appear as u daily.

The accounts that these days fill columns of the press in regard to drowning accidents, ''got beyond his depth," "rocked, the boat," and other accidents, seem bound to be part and parcel ol the annual summer seasoii. The same holds good in tho "sane" fourth of July "celebration.

From this mass the bodies of • three Italians have been recovered, while 19 others were found to have been seriously, if not fatally "injured. In the residential part of the town buildings were blown to' pieces, many of the occupants'seeking, protection in basements only to become buried beneath shattered timber's.

Of course the game was played under protest. jThlsis perhaps the most glaring breach of league rules that has yet, been attempted. Umpire-Kastner called the game on account of the darkness.

FOOTBALL The Crow's Nest Pass football ' league was advanced another stage on Saturday last and the result In, one match'at least had an important-bearing on the championship. * I refer to the Frank and Coal Creek encounter. Frank falling down in this game, the score being 2 goals to 0 against them. CoalCr<-*ek now step into second place and are only three points behind the leaders with two games in hand. It appears at present as if tho race will be between the old rivals Michel and Coal Creek. Coal Creek deserve every credit for their meritorious win on , Saturday. The day was not favornblo for a good display of football, and it gays much for'the teams engaged that such a good exhibition was served up. Frank have still a fighting chance for the championship, but a great deal'will depend on todays game between Michel and Fernie'.. Should Michel fall .the championship would still be an open question, as Coal Creek havo still a long way to go. They have five games on their card yet, and some of these are stiff encounters. Hosmer seem fated to take' the wooden spoon, as they have-not .yet a point to their credit, and it .seems lo me that they cannot escape from the bottom posit; ion. The result of their gamo with Michel indicates an improvement, as they only fell by the odd goal. They have shown considerable'pluck in hanging together in the face of adverse results, and it is to.be hoped that they will get their reward when the Fort Steele cup ties come on.. „ The position of' the different clubs on the league table up to and including , July 10 are here given. >1.

Mid- field play followed' until the-interval when neither side had scored again. , ' Play was-resumed without, either "of the teams leaving the field. The Frank team's chances now looked rosy as they had tlie hill in their favor..They soon, became the aggressors, and the things looked bad' for Coal Creek but Allan cleaved his lines and Manning let Hartwell away on the left. He forced a corner of Fagan which was well placed, but Cardie cleared. McFarlane and Cardie by strong play took the ball well afield where.* Chambers secured possession, and a timely pass let Ad- lum away with a clear field. He waited too long before getting in his shot and McFogan forced him to kick past, a really fine chance toeing lost. Franl- still hovered around - the Creek goal, niade headway and Manning forced a corner off Fagan. This was well placed by Hartwell but Smith cleared, the bail .landing at the feet of McFegan, who took-a long drive. .The ball had Adamson beat all the way and went through at the far post, registering the first goal of the* match. The Frank boys, nothing daunted, took play to the other end, and Adlum with a fine shot sent, right across the goal mouth, but no one was up to' take advantage and the ball'went past. The Creek were next to make headway and from a long drive up field Manning hustled the backs, and getting clear through scored a second goal for Coal Creek, shooting well out of Adamson's reach. Only 12 minutes of this half had gone, and, Frank now made desperate efforts to reduce the leeway.1 Flukey play by McFegan aided them but Horrocks saved from Hutton and play was in raidfield again. McGechie was very anxious to win against his old club, but at times could not resist the temptation to try and walk aroUnd.his opponents. This did not help his side, and he did not always come out best. Coal Creel*, seemed to be'„tiring and Frank forced tho game, b«t coujfl not beat down the opposing defence. * From a scrimmage in Coal Creek goal.Manning gave away a comer but- it was - sent • „ On wet grounds that made fast, ba'-l out of the question the Commercials gatliered in a loose, game' -from^ D.n Carpenters on Monday evening.

She began therefore, ■. a strenuous ' cure, which, reduced her weight 31-pounds in'three months. She rode horseback three hours each morning.'played tennis two hours, and took'several^daily-walks-lasting-severs al hours and ate-like a bird. Hei-habitual rosy complexion. gradually gave way to a chronic paleness under this I'egime."She dwindled away in weight and though she was 5 feet ten inches In height she weighed only 133 pounds; \ She attained her ambition however and could1 wear a fashionable gown.

When the store -was burned the' police ■> - made an-investigation which resulted in the arrest of Belmont. His confession came soon afterward and Dake has since been apprehended. ■ Belmont says that he and Drake rigged up an alarm clogk in such a way that it would turn an emery wheel. The conspirators for insurauce money then placed matches against the wheel and underneath these scattered shavings saturated with oil.. The alarm was set for 1.30 on "the morning of July 2;j It went off on scheduled time. .-Belmont and Drake went to the nearby town of Armstrong and listened to the fire alarm whistle eight miles away. Then they returned ,to the scone of the blaze. .The stock was insured for $2500. . *' - Outside cleanliness is less than half the battle.' A man may ,4- scrub himself a dozen times a day, and still be unclean. Good health means cleanliness not only outside, but Inside. , It means a clean stomach, clean bowels, clean blood, a clean liver, and new, clean, healthy tissues. The man'who is .lean in this way will look it and act it. He will work with **nergy and think dean, clear, healthy thoughts. . .,,.. rj --.-'.' He will "never be troubled with liverj' lung, stomach or blood disorders. Dyspepsia and indigestion originate in unclean stomachs.: Blood diseases are found where there :s unclean blood.' Consumption and bronchitis mean unclean lungs. .'■-.- i • - . ' Dr.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery prevents these diseases. It makes a man's insides clean and healthy. It cleans' the digestive organs., makes pure, clean blood, and clean, healthy flesh. I .nil/i 1/ It restores .tone to the nervous system, and cures nervous ezhaustion and prostration. It contains no alcohol or habit-forming drugs. Constipation is the most unclean uncleanliness. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure it.- They never gripe: Easy to take as candy.

" SEATTLE, July -14—Lumbermen rom all parts of the United States, •epresenting Interests that control the entire timber wealth of the country, will congregate at the Alaska-Yukon- Pacific exposition from Monday July 19 to Wednesday July 21. The Logging Congress' which will be held in Seattle at that time is' one Of the greatest annual * industrial congresses now held in the United States. The western lumbermen consider this as the" most Important event' ever known to the lumbering interests, of -he Pacific coast. "The ■ meetings will be held in the Joo Hoo building whicli was built on .he exposition .grounds especially for .his-congress. The structure was put lp at a cost of ?10,000 by-a number of Seattle lumbermen. The amount to be spent for entertainment will bring the amount to oyer $25,000. - The Hoo Hoo building , itself has been-designated as ah exhibit of what the "west can do in lumber'. The pur* p08e""of~therIumberriierrTjf"the-statens" to familiarize the visitors-with western timber. It is expected that it will, do more to,advertise this great resource of the west among tlie investors of the east than any other event COUld. "' r Keppet were among the guests. Mrs. Vanderbilt was wearing on her corsage ' a big diamond ornament which attracted much attention and excited the especiaUadmiration of. Mrs. Kep- Pet- ' ,■ . . "I am so glad you like it," murmured Mrs.'Vanderbilt. "Won't, you please accept it as .a token of my appreciation of your good taste?" and suiting the action- to the word, sho unfastened the ornament and handed it to Mrs. Keppet. Tlie king was near and seemed somewhat astonished at such generosity for the ornament was a huge affair with big diamonds and worth a considerable sum. . "I could not think of taking it," said Mrs. Keppet, but, Mrs. Vanderbilt insisted and eventually Mrs. Keppet accepted the gift. •'That ■ ends the story but there,is a sequel. ■ Tho noxt' night at another party Mrs. Keppet was wearing the ornament. "What a beautiful thing it is,' said a friend. "Where did you get it?"' ,. , A GREAT TIME (381T.
