PAGE TWO 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, Tho TriuloH und Lnbor Council of Lethbridge nro to bo congratuliitcd on taking mich a definite Htnnd toward iiillliuiiHiii, nml mny It he nu Inmnir- tion to nil orffiinlzed labor to go on "■coord IIHiiwIhi.'

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.

That was about as far as Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor,, who, is here for the conference today'""on the situation of the strike of the Amalgamated "As sociation of Iron,- Steel and Tinplate steel i corporation, would say when and Tin Company, a subsidiary of the Workers' against the American Sheet asked for a statement relative to what it was proposed to do. There are about 150 delegates here and Mr. Gompers said that it would not be,right for him to discuss the plans, unless-they had been presented to the,conference. tt * *» ' 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. She—The horrid thing married him on his death bed just to get hi* mosey. Could you love » girl Wccthat? . ., He—You bet; wbatt her address? SMILES If there were smiles for sale At some fair market where The rich, the poor, the low, the high Might hurry with their change, to buy What crowds would gather there! Yet there are smiles enough And-■each might have his share," If every man would do or say One—just one—kind thing every day To lift- some other's care. r. ui IKNS&MJ.

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 Bodies Identified The bodies were taken directly" to the morgue where the following identifications were made: * , H. Thomas, second cook, Port Stanley, Ontario. W. Ray' * J. W. Sovars, waiter G. R. Smith, steward F. Steel, fireman J. Shenk, fireman o ' J. Hart, oiler Charles .Allen. O'Hagen 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. raised tne" b0dics—t"o~th"e~"do"ck-"where* waggons were iii waiting.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Title | The District Ledger |
Publisher | Fernie, B.C. : W. S. Stanley |
Date Issued | 1909-12-18 |
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. |
