THE DI3TRICT LEDGER, FERNiE, B. C. DECEMBER 18 1909
The Lethbridge Trades and Labor
Council is showing signs of an increased interest in questions concerning Labor, both national and international.
At the last meeting thoy adopted
tho following resolution condemning
the Spanish authorities for the shooting of Ferrar.
Whereas, we, the delegates representing organized labor, assembled in
session as the Lethbridge Trades and
Labor' Council, believe that Ignorance
is the greatest bar to human progress
and that the growth and spread of
knowledge is the only hope of future
humanity, and tbat those who devote
.their lives to the spread of knowledge
should be honored as social benefactors and their memories revered in
the hearts of all mankind, therefore
be, it
Resolved: That we regard the murder of Prof. Francisco Ferrer the great,
Spanish educator and founder of' the
modern schools of Spain, as one of
the most deplorable crimes since the
burning of Bruno, and a reversion to
the darkest days of the dark ages:
We regard it as a crime unparalleled
in history and future generations will
venerate Ferrers name while the
names of his murderers will be a
mockery and a byword ito the end of
history. ' _ • .,
A circular from the "Canadian
Peace Society inviting the co-operation of all bodies of. organized labor
came up for' discussion.
The circular had been before the
council a, week* before and after a
strenuous debate was "tabled" for
one week, also a delegate gave notice
of motion which would introduce a
resolution which by its adoption or
rejection would place organized labor
on ■ record so far as Lethbridge is
concerned as. to its attitude toward
militarism. The resolution in .question was:
Whereas the causes of all wars are
in the last analysis economic, and
that the producing class always bear
the cost with blood and treasure, arid
invariably they do not reap any benefit; and
Whereas an ever Increasing number of working men, realizing the misery and suffering which follows in the
wake ,of all wars, view with suspicion
any attempt to promote a military
spirit by a class which invariably
looks upon the war's progress from
the safo environ of an easy chair:
Therefore, bo it rosolved that we,
the Lethbridge Trades and Labor
council do all In our power to mako
nil trades union organizations one
grand peaco society and that wo hopo
to seo tho time when the member of
any military body will bo refused admittance to any union.
And further bo It 'resolved that wo
do not endorse any peaco society not
having an economic nfflnlty with tho
wago oarnors.
Tho resolution* carried unanimously.
Tho debate fihowed the futility of
endorsing tho Canadian Poaco Socloty
It being composed of men \vliono In-
tores! h often clash with organized lnbor, nnd without Imputing ulterior
motives to Uioho promotera of peace,
It wiih Rliown that Lnbor itself, having everything to loso by war nnd
nothing to gnln, mum tnko tho Initiative toward univornal pence And
when workingmen rofiiRO.to bo droBH-
oil up In uniform;*, firmed and drilled,
nnd packed off to anothor country lo
shoot holes Into nnotlior similar hunch
of workers, then.wnr will ho mndo lm-
poimlble,

Lethbridge nro to bo congratuliitcd on

In the forli'oKH of Moinlflii.-h, Spiiln. at
tho liiHtniico nf n*iioilonni"H. He died
a martyr for Progresn,
Tho Statesman: f nm powerful, I
have iiccuiniiliiti.'il groin wealth; I
have deeply studied all manners of
ways to increase my fortune, sometimes by the feeble light of an, oil
lamp, sometimes by gaslight, and at
others under a brilliant electric lum-
inant. I have scorched my eyebrows
while making my calculations,, and
when counting in nightly solitude my
golden coins. ' My money coming
and going, circulated - over the wide
world, and has returned to me with
ever an added Interest.
I am old, but I can wait for death
with tranquility.
1 have honors heaped upon me.
I am a senator, magistrate, a minister. Blessed be „God who has so rewarded my efforts!
Away from me beggar, and let me
pass!
, The Soldier: I have fought a hundred battles, I have watered fields
with blood. The noise of my arms
has filled nations with terror. I have
put thousands of adversaries to the
sword and have obscured the light of
day with the smoke of my cannons
I am old, but. I can quietly wait, for
death. My country In thankfulness
has decorated me with roses and rewarded me, with riches; I am a general, a king,, air emperor.,
Blessed be God, who has so blessed
my endeavors!
Away from me beggar,^ and let me
pass! <t
' The Priest: I have read sacred literature, and at all hours have dedicated to the Lord my prayers and supplications. My* house is the house
of the Lord.,,1 havo lifted up my voice
in chants to the solemn sound of the
sonorous organ, amid richly carved
images and embroidered ■ vestments,
and my voice has resounded under the
high arches of great cathedrals. , I
am old and calmly wait now for my
death. - - -
The faithful, grateful for my pray-
g.*g have presented me—.with cop_es_
adorned with brilliants, with chalices,
marble palaces and endless treasures.
I am a bishop, cardinal'and pope.
Blessed be God who has so rewarded me.
Away from me beggar, and let me
pass!
The Beggar: I have descended to the
depths of the earth to bring thee
treasures that thou has drawn1 toward
thee by thy calculations, and hast
circulated around the world; I havo
crushed tho ollnes in the press to give
thee oil to light thy lamps, and have
extracted coal from tho deep mines to
make thy gas; with coal thou,hast
produced steam to drive the great engines 'that, have whirled thee on thy
travels, and have ■ propelled thy ships
over wido soaa, bringing thy treasures
and carrying thy manufactures; I
hnvo bored through groat mountains'
nnd hnvo levelled hills to please thoe,
and I have built thy bridges, made thy
docks and harhora; I havo robbed waterfalls of their powor and beauty to
nccumulnto thy brilliant oloctrlc light
In groat dynamos; I havo moulded and
cast, thy cannons, and tempered thy
swords, which havo given thoo tho
victory; I hnvo mndo linrnoss for thy
cavalry horHos; from sandy. wnstoB
I hnvo taken diamonds that adorn thy
chalice, from tho heart of tho sea tho

Testimony in the v damage •' suit
brought by j." Galgettl against the lo-.
-'cal Plasterers,union was taken on Sat-
. urday before Judge Mitchell' of" the
- District court. The argument will be
heard some time' this week, Lawyer
Tweddie appearing for the prosecution
'and Lawyer Eaton for.the defence.
.Galgetti claims that the union had
. branded him as a "scab",and unjustly
kept^ him out of work for. a number of
months. ■ * , ■ ' - . ^
It seems that Galgettl first won the
displeasure of the union.when, as plastering contractor on the Y. M. C." A.
building he employed two master plasterers, Mr. Donaldson and John A..H.
Lake, when according to union rules,
he should have, employed journeymen
on the work., . ,
'" Later he got listo trouble1 again by
working on an unfair job on the Line-
ham block, but'escaped by becoming
a contractor again, and thus getting
.outside the jurisdiction of the union.
He resigned from the union.
He found it advisable to become a
* journeymen again,'' however, and on
January 19, 1909,,applied at the door
where a meeting of the union was being held, for permission to join. He
was told that he could not come in unless he paid the fine of $50 for scab-
i bing,* and the regular initiation fee of
* $25. He thought it unjust to be flh-
- ed before.he had become a member of
the union.. -■
. He was working at the time^for Jno.
Lake at the Lyceum Theatre." Mr.
Donaldson was working with him. The
. day after the-meeting Donaldson'.told
* Lake that he would have to'discharge
, either Galgetti or, himself, as the for-
. mer was under the ban of.the union,
Lake-did not want to be blacklisted,
as herput it, so he accordingly discharged .Galgetti. - -
William Flett, the president of the
union, when placed on the stand, flat-
, ly denied that he* ever told .Donaldson
or anyone else that- he could not employ Galgetti any longer' or that the
Plasteerrs union had taken any such
"action.
Alex. McDougall, who had employed
•Galgetti* as plastering foreman prior
', ,to the°tlme that he went to work for
--• Lake, testified that he had been told
by James Ferguson, a member of the
union, not to keep Galgetti-longer if
he wanted to keep out of trouble with
the,union, and that therefore he had
let Galgetti go. He says, that he does
not like ,to run an open shop where
he has to depend on union,men to do
his work. . / *' ,"
, Among other witnesses who testified
were Secretary A. G. Babcock of the
union and Fred Ferguson. Mr. Lake
admitted that he had been allowed to
employ, both union and non-union men
since the present case has been pending." -.* ■■•. •■

MARRY WIDOW.
(Lethbridge Herald)
Fire broke out in' one of the ■ entrances in No. 3 mine yesterday morning about ten o'clock, and was not
night,
extinguished until about 9 o'clock at
One , sad fatality occurred in the
death by suffocation of Fred Beres-
ford, the stable boss. In company
with a young lad he had gone down
to see if it were possible to get out
the horses some thirteen in number,
and was apparently overcome by the
smoke and gas as he was some three
thousand feet away from the fire at
the time he was found. The boy too
was also overcome but was taken out
and soon revived.
It was a hard and trying fight to
put out the blaze as the smoke and
gas rendered tt almost sudden, death
to approach it. Somo of the men had
a pretty close call. Tho superintendent W. D. L. Hardie who went down
with the first group of "rescuers, had
a narrow escape from a fate similar to
Beresford.
The thirteen horses shut up in the
passage way perished in the smoke
and steam.
Water was * supplied to the scene
of the fire by means of the air pipes.
Very little damage was done by the
fire. The air fans were reversed
when it was over and the smoke and
steam is being driven out. No .surmise ever, can be made of the cause.
The fire occurred at one of the entrances where a fire might be the least
expected, being entirely free from any
inflammable material and being a
place where there was plenty of air
and where men would not likely"loiter
about.. , , - . ■•
.o- An inquest is being held this afternoon on the death of Beres-
ford.
, L. A. S. DACK,
Manager, Fernie.

him on his death bed just to get

SMILES
If there were smiles for sale
At some fair market where

Might hurry with their change, to buy

Yet there are smiles enough

If every man would do or say
One—just one—kind thing every day
To lift- some other's care.

Sir: Tlie awful disaster at Cherry,
III.,- has deeply stirred the, civilized
world, and,serves to remind ,ps of the
dangers'that/allmiiie Avorkers are .subject to in the production* of coal. • It
is not my intention- io dwell on the'
Cherry disaster, or to blame, anyone
foi-'tjie cause of-it. My-.thoughts are
directed nearer home.*,-A ,(colliery
explosion, bump and blowout Jiaye
been known' to occur in aud around
these parts of n. C- The Cherry disaster reminds us to be careful or- they
may occur again. We .maybe,told
that such accident cannot always be
prevented; but I**-maintain that .explo-'
sions and" bumps"*'can "be prevented,
and that many blowouts, are caused
by a Avrong, system of working the
seanis where,these blowouts geuerally
pecur., It'does not require any special knowledge to know that every mine
is worked for present or prospective
profits, and to,make each mine a,profitable concern as'soon as possible,is
the sole aim of all the colliery officials
from,the general manager down to,the'
driver boss, who tries to*' get- out as
nnulCcoal in his shift ,as possible. ,*
Now this, haste for profits is the
main cause of, nearly all the terrible
accidents that occur so frequently* thc.
world over; Ihave no desire to lay
a'charge of incompetence against the
officials in charge, knowing that 'they
are all selected to send ■joal),sooivand
plenty of it, or make room, i'or some-' '
ono who will. My contention isiha't
'tho, before mentioned haste'"defeats, its
own object, by getting coal that1 would
bo J)est' left alone" until the mino" .was'
nearly worked otu. , As a proof of my
statements nearly,.,all" the mines in
Coal Creek boar wiiness, to tho truth
\Of„my words', By taking this coal it
causes a wasfe of timberland a waste
of labor erecting it, and is then subject
to caves, "etc., as long'as the . mine
lasts. Try to imagine a retutsii air-
'way passing through these old , workings and a practical minor will have
no'hesitation in saying that something
requires doing to li'rotect. tho ih'e's'of

his will. Subsequently he received,
ihe papal nuncio who brought the,
benediction of the holy father and the.

Leopold's courage and fortitude in ■
the face of deatli is a matter of great;
comment. His mind remains clear and
he insists upon talking about the
affairs of the nation. This afternoon
he summoned his youngest daughter,
Princess Clemen line.
' Yesterday the patient suffered a relapse and as day progressed he grew
steadily worse. Last evening,it was-
announced that a'disquieting affection-
of tlie abdomen had appeared and that
dropsy of ihe legs has also set in. The
physicians met in consultation hist

was said to have been slightly improved and to have liad some'sleep* The

-L NINE FROZEN
TO DEATH
Found Stark and Stiff in Open
Boat—Awful Plight of
Carferry Crew
ERIE, Pa., Dec. 15.—Nine men, frozen to death and covered with lee,
were towed here today, by the state
fisheries boat, Commodore Perry. The
frigid'' fetters that'bound them kept
eight of the men seated,. stark and
stiff, in the little yawl in which they
had struggled to escape the fate that
overcame them. The ninth one was
prone, he being frozen to the bottom
of the yawl.
There had been a tenth assenger
on this hideous voyage, for in the
yawl's bow was found every stitch of
elothing that a sailor man wears at
this season of the year. There Is little doubt that the tenth man, seeing
his comrade's eyes staring at him
through filts of Ice, went mad, stripped himself and-plunged to a' quicker
end in the waters, of the lake.
Part of Crew of Car Ferry
The nine glassy Images were of the
crew of the Bessemer and Marquette
car ferry No. 2 which had been miss-
• ing since a terrific wintry gale_ swept
Lake Erie last Tuesday. The Commodore. Perry with scores of other
boats had been searching for No. 2.
She had aboard 36 men, of whom six
were passengers. ~lt seems impossible that any of them could have escaped.
Said Captain Terry Driscoll of the
Commodore Perry .tonight: "A luavy
sea was running when we sighted tlie
yawl, and we had some difficulty in
reaching it.* As we made her out by
our glasses eight of the men were sitting up in the boat with their life
preservers strapped around their
shoulders. The ninth man lay in
the bottom of the boat, frozen to the
slat floring.*.. •
We did not try ,to take the nine
dead men abuard as we feared, that
the yawl would capsize-if our men
were to attempt to board her in the
water.' '
Thousands of'-persons swarmed to
the piers. As soon as the^ fish boat
made fast a score of men with tackle

A SPLENDID BOOK
The Christmas number of the Canadian Magazine is a splendid exhibition of the work that Canadian writers, illustrators and painters are producing. From cover to cover everything is high class and indeed a standard Is set that Is considerably In advance of anything that has ever been
turned out by Canadian presses. The
number is composed almost entirely
of short stories, sketches and poems,
and with the'exception of a critical
appreciation by Louis Vauxcelles, a
Frenchman, of the work of the eminent Canadian artist, J. W. Morrice, the
whole number is the output of Canadian writers and artists. The first
contribution is a short story by Theodore Roberts, with illustrations by
Fergus Kyle. Then follow short stories and sketches. There are, a series
of full page productions of western
photographs by Newton MacTavish,
and the reproductions of paintings by
J. W. Morrice are unusually fine. Altogether the number, is an excellent
Christmas souvenir with a fine cover
in colors by T. .M Marten.

i
We unite because we must. It is
not a matter of sentinent er charity,
it is one of business. True, the blood
tingles on beholding the brutalities of
our industrial chaos, but while thie is
an incentive it is not the fbundatim
of our trades unionism. We are trade
unionists because there is no other agency, that will secure for us good pay,
a short workday, partial independence
in the present and some time, we hope
complete.
No other agency! "'A bold statement. Can we prove it?
„ Problem: To secure the product of
our labor.
Not a school of economic thought,
and there are many, but acknowledges
the necessity of union to attain as will
as union to hold what has been attained. One individual cannot lift ten
hundred weight; ten individuals can
do so withease.,, History avouches
it. "All evidence and experience tend
to make the claim of unity axiomatic. * ,
In this instanec, then a union of
what? Of all classes? „ Landlords,
bankers; lawyers, manufacturers, merchants, wage' workers such as make
up a political party? No; the first
two exploit us—we cannot unite with
the^i. The tfeird is a tool of patronage, on sale; he will "tear a passion
to rags' for pelf—him too, we must
exclude.
The fourth and fifth, fellow sufferers of ours, with them we would combine against the first but they will
not. -They think they can get moro
by keeping us( their patrons, down.
Are we left, then, to unite with our
fellow ...wage workers?
B_ut wait! We overlook the professions—ministers, physicians,* scholars;
editors. Capable-, men! Intelligent
conversant, select! But, while creditable exceptions, lukewarm"followers,
not leaders. They are men of bottled
opinions. ,
So,—wageworkers! And they?
Robbed, deceived,- damned! Scoffed
at, shot at, jailed! Unanimous, of
course. Men of similar ideas, purposes and means? Hardly. Rather,
men of vastly different ideas, purposes
and means to be similarize'd in action.
Men—rprogressive, tardy, commanding
resisting, liberal, dogmatic, orthodox,
selfish, ardical, conservative. Opinions, all shades.' A union of all sorts
and conditions of men'.
Manifestly it is impossible to unite
these on any composite program. As
well talk of an equilibrium of faculties, as Andrews puts it, despite the
law of individuality. Impossible in
any event but for—self interest. The
powerful lever of mutual want, the
product of their labor. There is no
diversity of opinion on this. To se*
cure it they will combine on certain
methods within certain limits.
Such methods must necessarily be
simple, and the limits narrow, but
not incapable of expansion. They
will be as narrow as the narrowest or
as broad as,, the broadest. They will
be average with an upward tendency
due to the education .which must follow exchange of .ideas and contract.
TiieTtandard-wili-be—continually-advanced by the dishonest yielding to
the honest,in deference to that natural law, the sense of right; the enlightened will „elevate , the ignorant
the bark of Ihe radical answered by
the growl of the conservative, will
modify,both; the arbitrary, the resisting, heretic and orthodox, will temporize, agree to disagree .on cherished
views and work on common ground,
Any attempt to. overstep this limit by
force will result in lukewarmness nnd
break the bond of union. Conscience
will go on strike.
"It is safe to say that had it been
possible to enforce all the resolutions
adopted by the trade union we would
have "ull sorts and conditions' of organizations. ' As It is the Individual
is partly contented by his protest.
Tlio maximum of organization, of
universal variety In unity, can only be
secured by the minimum of coercion,
and no mattor what the organization
mny be, it can Accomplish but little
without numerical strength. Tho mass
will rulo despite tangents, Such is
tlie liberty of society, That Is not
progress which breaks from tho maRS
because of Iln turdineBB. It may be
magnificent and courageous, but. It Is
not war. Sooner at lator the rotreat
must ho mado. The folly of such Is
apoxed when tlioy attack tho masses
of tliolr follow sufferers, ns do some
nnnrehlsts, stuto socialists and others,
Tho moBt thoy can do Is to disrupt,
deefat union and thon lator, when wiser and exploded, get off tlio union
trnck, or back Inlo tho fold and teach,
If lliolr foolhnrdliioBS has not discounted thoir usefulness. This ability
to break should only bo exorcised at
a lime when coercion Is attempted.
So, thon, wo must havo union which
must ho numerically strong, which .of
necessity must ho of nvorago doslru,
and which will bo odnentlonnl, flexible
and honeu progressive.
Such is the lilgliost form of organ-

Surface Works
On the subject of hoisting little need
be said, because practically the direct
hoist has not been superseded. Various
methods of applying a balanced weight
have been tried. The only one of any
importance Is that resorted to'in the
Koepe system, which has a return rope
from the underside of the cage; but
without entering1 into details lt, is safe
to say that this need not be seriously
considered at,present.
As to whether a steam or- electric
hoist should be used, depends upon
whether a natural water power is available for generating purposes. If. so, it
has been , amply* demonstrated that
whether for a single large mine or a
group of mines, it is economical tp
generate electrical power' at a" waterfall and to distribute it from one central station" It, will pay to do.this for
a number of mines where steam has to
be resorted to for generating electricity. On ■ all grounds it is" cheaper
and more efficient to have a central
station than to attempt to set up a
number of individual electric plants at
the several mines.
. If steam is used it may be said that
the day of low pressure has gone by;
and* that the best type of boiler is the
water tube,-with working pressure of
180 to 200 pounds. Geared engines
are going out of order as large outputs
are the order of the day, and there.is
probably nothing better in ordinary
cases, than the coupled engines, with
automatic cut-off, and a piston speed
of 250 to 400 per -minute. For hoisting
-from-great-depths-and—with-a-large
load, the most recent development is
in favor of compound condensing engines, and when the extent of a mine
warrants the outlay-the management
gets the finest hoisting' plant obtainable In this, ■ Conical drums, grooved
to suit the ropes, are being used as
they are easier on the engine at the
st^art and stop.: The guides in the
be erected near the screenhouse, and
the fine, should be carried from the
screenhouseIn a conveyoi. The effect
of a good washer is very pronounced
and has resulted'In the conversion of
an inferior,unmarkatable coal* into a
first class article. It Is*possible to
reduce the sulphur by at least 50
per cent and the ash by "at least 75
per" cent,
Coke Ovens „
Where coke ovens are used It- is an
advantage to" build them as near the
mine as possible, without however,
coming so near that the mines will be
effected by the smoke and sulphur as
it passes in wiih the ventilating current; a distance 6f,1500 to 2000 feet
will generally Obviate this. In some
cases it is practicable to carry the coal
in a conveyor direct from the breaker
or washer to the coke ovens. Failing
this .* the simplest method is to haul
special hoppers' direct from, the' mine
over the ovens and charge°them from
the track. Where this cannot be accomplished owing to distance or other
considerations -there should- be a high
level and low ^evel track at the ovens,
and a storage bin between the two,
the bin to be charged on the, upper
track, and to feed a lorry for charging
the ovens, which may be worked ■, by
electricity .or steam. * *
Maps and. Plans
A good manager -will want to see
upon his plans exactly what,is going
on in* the mine, and this necessitates
the employment of a competent surveyor'who will keep the .plans well.up
to date(i not relying in the slightest
degree upon the magnetic needle for
his underground work. An up to date
plan will show,by some distinguishing
means, haulage roads, airways, water
courses, working places, faults, with
their direction or rise oi* dip, the inclination of the strata," the level of
various points in the roads and-workings from a given datum,' the thickness
of the seam at different points, especially noting any variations and' thc
date of the last survey. In addition
to this' the manager will require , an

from securing" .any men for

since July 6 with i every prospect of winning.

The foregoing article treats of(',the

work.' There is space to refer only
briefly to his relations with the employers, and with his subordElnates,

explicit, They will partake of a threefold character—tenchnlcnl, ■ advisory,
and financial. The former will give

tions to Ihe manager. It ream with
lilm lo enrry them out, and If he (alls
to do so thej' can get rid of him; but
the: manager who tolerates interference is signing his own death warrant
both with his employers and the workmen. The result which mine owners
expect from their manager can be
achieved only by a thorough system of
organization carried out with consistency and, singleness of purpose.
Although the important works referred to above have to-be carried out by
other men,, he will have to design
them and will, therefore, require to
exercise the wisest discrimination in
the selection" of his subordinate officers, and if he allows any other con-
-sideration than that of absolute fitness
to weigh, he will be the greatest sufferer in the end. -.-. '
In the case of a large mine every
manager should liave an assistant,-to
share not his responsibility but ••his
work, and"such an assistant may be
a young man fresh from" a mining college, who whilst acquiring practical,
experience necessary to fit him for his
career; will furnish just that kind of
help that a manager stands the most
in need ci, and at. a moderate salary
too. ,
The next requisite is a thorough efficient and experienced under manager
who will spend the whole of his time
in the mine and superivse every department, reporting promptly to the
manager on any duties of-importance
coming under :his notice. -
Each section of a" mine should have
an "overman" as, however efficient
the workmen may be, it is found in
practice that it pays to have a "boss"
in* every separate section, not merely
to see that the men do their duty, but
to handle promptly and effectively any
of.,the thousand and one. difficulties
.tha(_are_continually_ci*opping_up_fi:om-
time to time. >
Examiners of working forces and
shot firers should be'also steady experienced men and in this department in
particular the .question of "character is
highly important because the duties of
the position are so, intimately associated with the safety of the men. It
has been found adv'antagous, to have
one.or two road, examiners .whose duty
is confined to the supervision of the
tracks and calling attention to the
road gang of any defect which they
discover.
Upon the surface there should be a
foreman at tho scroenor breaker, and
whero thero Is a coking plant a day
and night foreman at the ovons. In
nddltion, whether there are machine
shopB nt the mine or hot, a thoroughly
practical mechanical engineer Is necessary who should at least have a small
fitting shop to do repairs. His hands
will be "kept full In seolng that tho
machinery is In running order and
that tho wheels of the works are kept
turning.
