APRIL 30,.1910 GREENWOOD^ TROUBLE GREENWOOD, April 23—The majority and minority reports of the board of conciliation in connection ■with the B. C. Copper Company and employees who are members of the. "Western Federation of Miners are as follows: Majority Report In the matter of the '-Industrial Disputes Investigation Act 1907" and of a dispute between the British Columbia Copper Company, Limited, Greenwood, Britsh Columbia! employer; and its employees, members of the Greenwood Miners union No. 22 of the Western Federation of 'Miners. The application for a board of conciliation 'and Investigation arose out of a demand made by Greenwood Miners union No. 22 of the Western Federation of Miners as contained in a letter dated December S, 3909, and directed to .1. E. 'McAllister, manager of the -British Columbia Copper Co., at Anaconda, ami which letter is as follows: ' Greenwood. B. C. Dec. 9, 1909 Mr. J. B. McAllister, Manager B. C. Copper Co. Anacoeida, B. C. ' ■ Dear Sir: At a special meeting of Greenwood Miners Union, December 6 1909, tit Mother Lode mine, the following motion was carried-unanimously: "Regularly moved and seconded that the secretary be instructed to notify the mamager of the 3. C. Copper Co.. that unless every man (except officials and shift bosses) working in the mines and smelters, under our juris- * diction, has a paid up card in our union by noon the Ilth off January, •we will go out on strike and refuse to work with the non-union men., "At a special meeting of, Gfeen- '.-wood Miners union at Greenwood, December 7th, the above motion was en dorsed by a unanimous vote. • * Yours truly, Geo. Heatherton. The Question Considered At the outset of the investigation we were of the opinion that the whole question to be considered was as. to whether it was in the interests of employers, employees and immediate community that, the demand of the Western Federation of Miners as contained in the above letter of Decm- ber 8th, 1909, should be complied with by the company or not.' As must necessarily occur where proceedings such as these are not restricted to that class of evidence that should be received in a court of law, a tremendous amount of entirely irrelevant matter was introduced, as evidence at our sessions, but after hearing it. all, and again reading the stenographer's' notes iherof, we are most firmly convinced that the above question is the only one to be considered. The facts do not appear to be disputed and are as follows: Recital of Events ■In-or about the month of March, 1909, the same union of the Western Federation of Miners asked for a board of concilation under .this act, their principal complaint being that the company had discriminated against their men, and that the company had not recognized the union as such. The. then board of conciliation, or the majority thereof, found adversely against the applicant union on the point of discrimination and held that the company should recognize the,union as such." Subsequently in or about the month of July of the same year a strike was declared by the union, although it appeared that at the time because of a shortage of coke consequent upon a strike at the adjacent coal mines,the company's plant had been shut down. After some negotiations between the company and the employees and with the assistance of Mr. John McKinnon who was president cf the Western Federation of Miners in Canada a settlement was arrived at between the employers and the employees. This settlement is contained in a letter of the 23rd of July, 3 909, written by the British Columbia Copper Company to the union and answered by the men on the 2Sth day of July, 1909, copies of .which were signed by J. H. Senk- ler, Chairman and J. A. Mara, 4 Minority-Report Department of Labor Ottawa, Camilla. In the matter of tho dispute between the British Columbia Copper Company and thc Greenwood Miners Union No. 22 of the Western Federation of Miners arid the Investigation held thereon under the provisions of the Industrial Disputes Investigation Act 190S." ' Being unable to agree with my colleagues on the board as to a joint report, I therefore submit herein a minority report. It is a difficult matter indeed to convey to those who are not familiar with local conditions' in the Boundary district a thorough idea relative to the facts connected with the various aspects of this dispute.' Stating it briefly it is a controversy arising from an endeavor on the, part of the Miners union to maintain their jurisdiction called Electricians' Union. The Western Federation of Miners has been organized in the.Boundary district for over 11 years, and held jurisdiction over all the men working in and around the mills, mines, and smelters (including skilled labor.) . But recently the Electricians union has been making inroads upon the membership of the Western Federation of Miners, a course which is quite apparent had the sanction and support of the British Columbia Copper Co., as their bosses were the most active in soliciting members for this new union. It was made plain by the evidence taken that .the Electricians union solicited and "admitted to member: ship,persons who were'neillier„eligible nor qualified to become' members.

I1 so that the employees of the British Columbia Copper Company who are affiliated with the Electricians union do not belong to a local lodge, but are members in another town in the support of the general body. So that actions of a reasonable nature .only would be supported. This system gives every man involved a voice in all matters relating to conditions in so far as they are determined by the efforts of organized labor. The system that Ic being introduced by the Electricians union gives each craft engaged in nny industry the right to organize into separate unions. This method would allow some eight or ten unions in tlie mining industry. Such ,a condition would cause continual-unrest owing to-the fact that the members of any of these craft, unions could go out on strike without consulting their fellow workmen, although the effect of the strike would be to tie up the, entire industry. This being the case there can be no beneficial results follow the establishment of unions where the ground is already covered. To insist in tactics of this character will have the effect" of bringing about a condition of affairs so unsatisfactory to all concerned, that much loss will,ensue; not only to the working class of the district, but * to the employers and every person who has an interest in the community. ■ Conclusion When men who hold positions as bosses for corporations are'permitted to hold the most important offices in labor, unions it is high time the membership began to look with suspicion on unions * so constituted. It is regrettable that the parties to the dispute have been unable to come to some understanding that would avoid a suspension of work, and until such time as both parties are .willing to lay aside the mutual distrust that exists between them,there seems to be but a'slim chance to arrive at an adjustment containing any degree of permanency. John Mclnnis, LEITER MINES UNIONIZED It Cost Millions of Money to find Out That Union Mining Conditions ° Are Cheapest After years of work the organized miners of Illinois have at last succeeded in unionizing the Leiter Coal mines at Zeigler, 111., which have passed into the hands of the Bell-Zoller Company. They will hereafter be operated by union men. The sale of the Leiter properties has just been consummated, the new company having made an agreement with the officials of the United Mino Workers of Illinois to begin construction work in the mines. The experience of Joseph Leiter in trying to operate coal mines in Illinois with non-union men is said to have cost him about two million dollars. Nearly a hundred men have,met with death in a series of mine disasters, explosions and fires in the Zeigler properties. For more than a year the mines have been, sealed up and the bodies of,the last eight men who were killed have never been recovered. The town of Zeigler, which was owned by Mr. Leiter has been deserted since last May' when the inhabitants, who, all depended on the operation of, the mines, were shipped out to* other towns. . The Zeigler mines were opened by the Leiters in 1903, and during'..!he life of Levi Leiter union men were employed. , When Joseph Leiter got control lie started a fight on the union by discharging all his union men and importing non-union men from other states. A high stockade was built around the town and armed guards were put at the gates. A tower was erected on which were placed a searchlight, and two gatling guns, and for a time bombardment of the camp of the union pickets was a common occurence. Victoria Ave. „ Fernie, B.

THE DISTRICT LEDGER, FERNIE, "b. C. APRIL 30, 1310 HELPLESS BABES Tuberculine Injected Into 160 Babies'Eyes -.' Direful ly PHILADELPHIA, April 24.—An outrage that has no equal for savage brutality and cold bloodedness has been disclosed at the hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and the St. Vincent's Catholic Home for Orphan Children, where 160 helpless foundlings, most of them less than a year old, have been cruelly used as "humau material by medical investigators. The destitute babes have been used , in just the same way as a vivisection- 1st uses a frog, a dog or a cat. ' It has been shown from the Archives of Internal Medicine, published by the American Medical Association, that the physicians of the above named institutions have actually inoculated the eyes ^*ot these orphans with tuberculine. The result of these dastardly expert- , ments is the total blindness of a number of orphans and the threatened blindness of a dozen or more. It has "been futrher proven that the experiments developed eight cases of conjunctivitis,' or eye disease, two of them* severe and purulent, six severe and re- . -curring. Two' children have developed corneal ulcers. N ' There can be no denial of this for the experimenters have issued a printed report of their work. They catalogue the children as "human material."'' Here is what is contained in the ■statement: Practically all of our patients were under eight years of age,' and all but twenty six of them were inmates of St. ■Vincent's Home, an institution with a ■ population of about four hundred, composed of foundlings, orphans and destitute children. • "The cases in the home were tested t\ TirTToutirie^by~~waFds^lFFespective of the conditions from which they were suffering, and in the great majority -of instances without any knowledge of their physical condition prior to or at^ the time the tests were applied." * The -sexperlments were intended to discover whether the children were suffering from tuberculosis. In order to leaim this they Inoculated into the orphans, who had no means of helping themselves, Koch's tuberculin to observe whether "there would result a *- reaction, which, according ■ to their theory, would indicate whether or not the child was a consumptive, There are four ways that the physicians applied these tests. The stuff was Injected Into their eyes, Injected -subcutaneously, was massaged into their flesh, and ln the scarification test both humnn and bovine tuberculine were applied. In a statement in their own dofariso made to the public the physicians identified with tho experimental testa at St. Vincent's Home, Insist that the tests wero not experimental but precautionary. The Archives of Internal Medicine is 1 published ln Chicago by tho American Medical Association. Tho members of tho editorial board nro Drs. Joseph L, Millor, of Chicago; Dr. Richard C. Cn- bot, of Boston; Dr, David L. Edaull,'of Philadelphia; Dr. George Dock, of Ann Arbor, Mich.; Dr." T. C, Jane-way, of Now York City and Dr. W.'S. Thayer. of Baltimore. Tho article of which Dr. Hamlll is tho acknowledged author, la "A Comparison of the Von Ptrqtiot, Calmotto and Moro Tuberculin Touts nnd Thoir Diagnostic Vnluo." The phyulclnnu do not say their experiments were precautionary mi-amires to dotormlno tho prosonco of tuborculOBls ln unfortunate children. On tho contrary, thoy eay bluntly tho oxporiments woro an lnvcBtlgiitlon Into tho morltH of a now , method of dlngnoHlng tuburculoalu. Thoy aay In part: "Whon wo docldod to InvectlRato iliq rein) Ivo and Individual morltH of thp nowor methods of (llnRiioHltig tu- Ijoi'-iiloulu tho lltoraluro did not contain tho almost Innumerable roportH upon these proceedings that are current today. "But we feel that this *is ho sense detracts from whatever merit this communication may, have, since we are now enabled not only to report on the results of our-own investigations, but also to point out their relationship to the work which has already* been done, which may add something1 in the general concensus to the clearing-up of this undeveloped question." The paragraphs relating to the surprising admission made by these physicians that the eye tests never should have been made, taken from their report verbatim, are as follows: , "Before beginning the application of the conjunctival test we had no knowledge of any serious results from its use. It is unquestionably much easier of application than the other tests, and it probably yields results a little more quickly, but it has the great disadvantage of producing a decidedly uncomfortable lesion, and it is not infrequently followed by serious inflammations of the eye, which not only produce great physical discomfort, but which may permanently affect the vision and even lead to its'complete destruction. "In our1 series we have had two cases of severe purulent unilateral conjunctivitis, 6 severe recurring phlyctenular conjunctivitis one of which developed corneal ulcers, nnd one case of keratocylltis with a large central corneal ulcer. "Permanent disturbance of vision Js sure to follow tn this last case from the central scara, even should the associated lesion,'which at present is* in a very unpromising state, clear up eventually, "While we are willing to admit the assertion of Calmette that many of the complications ,may be due to the reaction, inflammation paving the way for the development of pre-existing or superadded or Infectious organisms, we do' not feel that this in any sense justifies the test. • "In fact, we are strongly of the opinion that any diagnostic procedure which will so frequently result In serious lesions of the eye, irrespective of the way in which it produces them; has no justification in medicine, especially since theer are other diagnostic tests of equal if not superior value, which are applicable to the same class of bases and not attended with the same disturbing results." To the official medical report of the tests the following three signatures are attached, all of them those of prominent physicians in this city: Dr. Samuel McC. Hamill, Dr. Howard Childs Carpenter and Dr. Thomas A. Cope. In this report the following comment was made: "Before beginning the application of the, conjunctival test (the eye-test) we had no knowledge of any serious results from its use. "It is unquestionably much easier of application than the other tests, But~_it'_has~th"e""gi'eat^disadvantage, of" producing a decidedly uncomfortable lesion, aind it is not infrequently followed by serious inflammation of the eye, which not only produces great physical discomfort and requires weeks of active treatment, but which may permanently affect the vision and even lead to ,lts complete destruction." ,! Thero is no law .forbidding these monsters from using orphan children as experimental material. They can go ahead with their serene dignity, and continually endanger the lives of motherless and fatherless babes. PAGE THREE A very brief examination will suffice to ssow the weakness of the foundation on which the' scheme was based. Take the case of a workman earning 2 pounds a week, or roughly, $500 a year. According to the plan five per cent would be deducted from his wages,! and at the end of the year he would have $25 invested in the company. On this ?25 h,e would receive a dividend at the rate of four per ce_t; that is to say, 7s. net, or less than a penny a week. It is hardly likely that this paltry sum would weigh with him in any dispute, as to wages, ,or that for a penny a week in the hand he would-consent to forego his right to strike forOd.or Is. a week extra. After twelve years constant saving under the scheme his total investment would amount to ?30CT earning a dividend of less than Is per week. Even t.his is hardly enough to turn the scale in the case of a man whose chief interest is the price at which he can sell his labor. Moreover, after a year's fair trjial the men have discovered that the scheme will not guarantee them continuity of employment, and some of the unemployed workmen who might have utilized their savings to better advantage, had to go to the workhouse. The workman who saves really wants a safe and steady form of investment. Ho wants something he can lay his hands on and realize at almost a moment's notice, to tide him over a rainy day, and he has now rejected a scheme which ties up his savings in a speculative industrial venture. GOOD INTENTIONS By Associate Editor 'Snips,' ln Reynolds: Sir Christopher Furness's attempt to establish a co-partnery scheme ln his shipbuilding yards at Hartlepool was a gallant and Quixotic attempt to make pigs fly. Had ho succeeded he would have deserved his laurels. Ho had tho good wishes of nil Impartial observers, but those who had witnessed in tho past many schemes of this kind go up llko a rocket and come down llko n stick, smiled upon his of- forts with good-natured scepticism. In brief, he sought to convert tho worker Into a kind of hybrid capitalist. Ho proposed his mon Bhould lnvost flvo por cent, of their weekly wago In tho business and that they should bo paid a fixed Interest of four per cf-nt, on tho total amount so Invented, On tho othor hnnd, thoy woro to surrender tho right to strike and to'am. to reftv all disputes as to wager, etc.. tn a works council consisting ol reprtson- tatlvc*3 both of tho mon and cf tho employers, It was hopod tlmt as their Investments accumulated tho mon would havo ti substantial stake in tho businoss and that this would bo an incentive to secure Its prosperity by good workmanship nnd by the nvoi- danco cf trado disputes which hr.vu of rouunt years ao unsottlod thu cm. in oorliiK trodoB. If good Intentions wero all that woro needed tho schemo would linvo boon a triumphant success. A FACTOR FOR DECENCY The Royal Northwest Mounted Police force of Canada is a combination of all sorts and conditions of men, blown together by the round-up of the winds of heaven. In the ranks we find western bronco-busters, unas- pirated Cockneys, Cree-Scott halfbreed time expired men from every branch of the Imperial service, side by side with the French Canadian bowi "tree days below Kebec." Two years the roll call included a son of a colonial governor, a grandson of a major general, a medical student from Dublin, an Oxford M. A., two trpopers from the Imperial forces and half a dozen ubiquitous Scots. For many years a son of Charles Dickens did honorable service with this force, and there served beside him a runaway circus clown and the brother of a Yorkshire baron- ej. Several of the full privates have tucked away in the bottom of their mess-kit medals won in South Africa, Egypt and Afghanistan, but the lost legion of gentleman rankers predominates and it Is Rugby and Cambridge out here on the unbroken prairies that set' the fashion in mufti and manners. A compelling factor making for dignity and decency in a border country as big as Europe Is this little band of red-coated riders, scarcely^ thousand -In-nnpihpr cniii'rin<r_cintfl,'.a„M,M-^A. plains with, sealed orders and turning up just when most wanted. The beat of the mounted policeman is froiii Hudson Bay to the Pacific, ancl from the firty ninth parallel to the frozen Arctic, and he does not take tips or sleep on duty; you cannot bluff him and you cannot bulldoze him, and it is not exactly safe to try to square him, Of this man as of Lord Bobs, we may say '"E don't advertise"; it is the boast of" the service ln Canada that they seldom get into print. Yet it is strikingly true that on tbe margin of every page of the unwritten history of this great lone land the figure Is the solitary horseman Is vignetted. —Agnes Deans Cameron's "Sentinels of tho Silence," in the Century.

Orr, an electrical contractor, was positively identified on Wednesday by N. E. Lovall, travelling, guard of Washington, as the convict who escaped from him in Pasco in 1908. Orr still maintains that he has never been in prison and that he is not the man who is now wanted by the Washington authorities. Lovall had Orr and nine other men In custody and was taking them to the,state prison at Walla Walla., As they were changing cars at Pasco one man' escaped. This is now said to be Orr. Lovall charges ,that the voice, speech features and other characteristics of the man in custody are the same as those of Orr. and ..he further states that he is positive that Orr is the escaped convict. On- has engaged counsel and says that he will fight against what he is now calling a scheme to railroad him to the state prison. He states that he arrived at Portland on October 26, 1908, and has witnesses to this effect. Previous to his arrival there he came from Spokane,,,where he spent a few days,.and formerly came from Nelson. B.

The play is delightful and refreshing, full of heart interest and highly diverting comedy situations. The production comes here in its entirety, the same as in all the Metropolitan cities. There has been some controversy amongst our theatre goers as to whether we were to liave the original No. 1 (or big city) company in Nancy, or a secondary company. The manager of the Grand wishes to inform his patrons that the original No. one company headed by Grace Cameron will be at the local theatre, $100 REWARD FELL ON THE STOVE Baby Is Badly Burned Tho young daughter of Mrs. T.

It would certainly be an excellent plan if the city would apportion sufficient space in the park to the different clubs, so that the disappointment tbat has arisen from time to time would be obviated and encouragement given to the various athletic games, and not as has been in the past, expenses in'clearing suitable grounds incurred only to have the use of the ground for a very brief period, and then to be "told that it is needed by the owners. This is of course an, excellent plan for the owner to have the value enhanced at the -minimum of expense, but is decidedly discouraging to those who go to the trouble of giving both time and money to aid the devotees of field pastimes, to have their efforts practically nullified and the benefit, expropriated ('ware confiscated) by the owner of the property improved. That any owner can be expected to lose the use of his land because it is required for games is not reasonable to expect, and on the other hand those,who have' done the necessary work to put a ground into shape for playing on naturally do not relish the idea of getting but scant benefit from their outlay. o . The history of the football ground is known to all the residents of two years, but the most striking illustration Is in connection with the baseball grounds. Probably if the Athletic Association would take up this matter with the civic authorities some ways,and means oould be adopted to the end suggested nnd then there would be a city playground of a permanent character.

R. ROE 'District Registrar Land Registry Office,, "•"> Nelson B. C *' • April 19, 1910 LOCAL IMPROVEMENTS NOTICE May the 1st marks the- coming of age of'this holiday that is now known as tlie International Labor Day, as it was first instituted in Paris In 1889. There is no legendary history connected -with this celebration, but. each year sees the number of those who are adherents to the cause.of Labor increase, not only'in numbers, but in knowledge of'the philosophy of Socialism, thereby enabling them to bettor understand Hie source of their conditions and an appreciation of the change that is necessary to take place in order to accomplish their emancipation from the shackles of wage slavery. Although the singing of "The International." the workers hymn of deliverance will be a prominent feature hi all gatherings, yet this merely symbolizes a determination to put forth every effort to the'end that* man shall be truly free and not merely a victim of conditions that place him among "commodities." The Socialists of Fernie will hold a demonstration in the Grand Opera House on Sunday next, and if one believes ih the power of suggestion the combined influences of like assemblies through the whole commercial world must have great influence upon the mental state of the masses. There is no subject at this'present day that occupies the minds of the world's statesmen more than the contemplation of what are the best means to be adopted to stem the growing dissatisfaction throughout human society, and although many pallatlves have been suggested and tried, so long as the profit system remains there can be no solution. The present voting strength of the International Socialists is- over ten millions, which only partly repre- FIRE PROTECTION Practically every one who has made, an examination of our lire department recognizes that in so far as equipment is concerned, favorable comparison can be made with cities larger than ours, and with respect to the personal capabilities of our fire fighters, they are second to none in the province. There is one .very important factor, however, that. demands immediate attention. At the present time the only method whereby an alarm can be turned in is through the 'phone, and,this more particularly at night, *■• may cause a- delay, jeopardizing both, life and property. This state of affairs should bo remedied, and that quickly by the inauguration of the best system for furnishing alarms that is at present on the market, Gamewells,' so far as we know, stands in a class by itself. As soon as practicable subsidary stations ought to be located in suitable parts of the city. NOTICB is hereby given that the Corporation of the City of Fernie' intends to proceed jvith the construction of cement sidewalk on Victoria avenue opposite lots 1—5, Block 6, 1—10 Blk. 10, 1—10 Block 14, 6—10 Block, 5, 11— 20 Block 9; 11—20 Block 13, and that it is the intention to have the total cost of such sidewalks borne proportionately by the owners of property fronting upon such sidewalks, and to obtain the requisite money therefor by issue of Local Improvement Debentures. Notice is also hereby given that assessments will be made against such property so benefited by such proposed sidewalks in order to meet^ the principal and interest of such Debentures; the crossings will bo "divided pro rata among thc owners of the lots. The owners of corner, lots are assessed for full frontage walk and two- thirds of sideage .walk, tho remaining third being divided among the owners of inside lots pro-rata. The term of payment of such Debentures has been made for 10 years with interest at five per cent (5 per cent.) ,\, If any owner or' owners desire to object., to the proposed work or any portion thereof, the requisite petition or petitions should be filed with 'the undersigned within ten days from this date.

The committee deserve every praise and encouragement for, the smart way in which the . program^was carried out. The chalr- , man of the evening wa*s John Shanks, Esq., who handled the, boys in fine style, and kept the'program in .full . swing. ,He said it gave him much pleasure to be present to present the league cup .which they had won so many times. He also hoped that their success would be greater this year by a strong effort to, win the Mutz cup. The cup was then filled by the secretary, "Bill" Hughes with that stuff the .Indians call fire water, but which tasted very much like,* whiskey, and was handed around to every one in the hall to drink success to the Coal Creek football club, which was done in* a hearty manner.

C. APRIL 30, 1910 ft Secondary Mine Schools Different Grades of French Schools <ffThe Methods . of Organization and Support. <ffCourses of Study. Cf Admission of Pupils (Written for Mines and Minerals by P. Dumaine,,Engineer of Mines) To train mining engineers there are two large schools at Paris-and, Saint- Etienne. Technical education in underground methods of working to train assistants for these engineers is given also In two principal schools at Douai, in the norlh and Aiais, in the south. Also the committee of miners of the Loire district, organized in 1S92, at Salnt-Etienne, for the miners of that region, a school called the Schoolofor Foreman (Aspirants-gouvorneurs.) It is well also,to mention the school at. Anzin, especially created by the company of the' mines at Anzin for the benefit of its employees. Before studying the organization of theso four secondary schools, it is well to enumerate the different employees working.in the mine under the orders of a mining engineer. First comes tho Inside foreman hav- ■ ing general supervision of the inside work. The tracing of plans and the surveying operations are done by a surveyor. Tho mine is divided into several sections in each of which tliere are about 100 workmen. Over each of these sections there is an.;iassistaiit foreman or assistant governor who is also helped by a,,master miner. The shot firers . have charge of the' blasting iu the mines. These employees are trained in the four schools of Douai, Aiais, Saint- Etienne, and Anzin. The Schools of Douai and Aiais Organization: The two schools of Douai and Aiais are directed by the chief engineer of the mining district in which .he schools are located. The instruction is given by three professors one having charge of the teaching of mathematics, and the making of plans and drawings; the second, of natural sciences and exploitation of mines; the third teaching French. A bookkeeper has charge of the management of expenses, and a proctor has charge of the discipline. ■ £ " These schools are boarding schools , The price of the board is $100 a year, but a large number of students receive free scholarships. The schools .are supported by appropriations from the ~minrsreT7oT"puDnc""worKsr"oy_tn"e~ae partments of Gard and Nord, and by the cities of Aiais and Douai. The administration of these schools is under the supervision of an administration composed of a certain number of high dignitaries of the department. TJie scholars have no uniforms but simply a cap with silver braid and inslgnias embroidered on the lapels of their coats. . The total number of students in school is usually 40 at Aiais and 60 at Douai.' The length of the course is two years. For half of this time the students receive at tho school theoretical Instruction, an account of which will bo glvon later; the other* half of tho time Is spent either in the mines of the district or in other more distant mlnos whero, according to thoir ability and on the judgment of the director of the school, the students nro employed In tho work of exploitation, drawing of plans, oto. During thoso practical exercises thoy pay their own expenses by means of tho salaries which thoy receive, according to thoir work, from tho companies which employ thom. The greater part of theoretical Instruction Ik given at the beginning of tho school year whleh lasts four months nincl a half, from Octobor to March 1.

During the month of July tlif.-y piihh nn exam ination for admission before an examiner named by the Sous-Prefer of their district. The first examination serves to eliminate the candidates who have not sufficient instruction to pass the final examination with a chance of success. The final examination" takes place in October, at Aiais on one, part, and at Douai on the other part, before a special commission. The candidates must show that they possess satisfactory elementary instruction, comprising reading, spelling, the first four parts of arithmetic, decimal numbers, and the metric system. Besides they may pass an examination on optional subjects such as arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, physics and chemistry. The examiners also question them on the practical knowledge they have acquired in mlno exploitations. ,The amount of this practical knowledge has great weight in admitting the candidates. Course of Study:—The course of study comprises first, French; second, elementary knowledge In arithmetic, algebra, and geometry, whicli is necessary to follow intelligently courses In technical work; third, special courses on topography, physics, chemistry, mechanics, mineralogy, geology and exploitation of mines. The students have also to follow courses in machine drawing, tracing of plans, land surveying, mine surveying, levelling: road making. They also make excursions for geological studies under the guidance of a professor in geology. The teaching is done in a spirit essentially practical in order to -be' always understood by the students. The indispensable subjects presented In a simple form are alone required from the students.'Supplementary subjects are optional and are required only from those who have had sufficient knowledge at the time of their arrival at the school. The time that the students spend in mining exploitations Is employed in different work." During that time they must turn in a report concerning their work." Upon coming back to 'school the students turn those reports over to the professors, and they are questioned on the knowledge they have acquired during their working time. The students work in'- the mines at four 'different times during their two school years, and as far as possible they are sent to mines of _diff_e_renjLkinds ■■ ; The students who have obtained 65 per cent, of the total number of points receive a diploma. They easily find positions' in France or foreign" countries as assistant* inside foremen (por- ions),* master miners, surveyors in mines. A certain number reach more important situations. Tho students of Douai and Aiais may bo classed according to the followingstable: Per Cent Managers of mines in France ■ or In colonies 10 In coal ■ mines 30 In mines other than coal mines 10' » Diverse situations .., , • 20 School for Aspirants-Gouverneurs at Saint-Etlenne In the mines of tho mining district of the Loire, difficulties of all kinds nnd dangers have Increased with the development of the mining industry. Tho situation ban grown to a point where the old foremon did nol havo tho qualifications which tho operation of tho mlnos demanded. Thoy had no longer the necessary knowledge to grapple with the Increasing difficulties, and to understand und apply tho ruloB of administration whleh had become more and more numerous and complicated. It would have been a mistake to create at Salnt-Etlaiino a school Blmllar to that ot Alain or Douai, where In reality they train surveyors, managers of mines, and chiefs of smiill exploitations. Tho teaching hnd to bo moro practical, moro elementary.

The length of thn couiho Ih one year from October to tho IiihI of July. Tho Patriotism teaching is given every day' except Sundays and holidays, from 3 to 6 o'clock. Students spend the mornings at work in the. mines. The teaching is done by a professor director and a professor. Their salaries and all the expenses are under the charge.of the Mining Committee, (Comite de Houilleres.) • * The aim of the teaching is to give the students the clearest examinations possible in connection with the subjects that are essential to the operation of mines. The explanations are given: 1. On the underground conditions, work of the men and tools, use of explosives, repairs, ventilation, lighting and plans of mines, 2. On the administrative laws. This teaching is supplemented by the fundamental principles of mechanics, physics nad chemistry. Results: In 15 years about 200 students, that is to say, about 13 each year hnve completed these courses, and occupied the following positions: Inside foremen,* 20; assistant foremen, 86; fire bosses, 12; watchmen, 4; dead, and others, 7'2! The mining companies in the Loire district are well satisfied with the results given by the school. They do not regret the expenditures they have been called upon make, and. are going to continue them in the future, and even enlarge them. . Preparatory School of the Anzin Mines Organization: A preparatory school is also situated at A.nzin. This school receives only the workmen of the company of at-least. 16 years'of age, and already familiarized somewhat with the practice of mining. They must have an elementary knowledge of reading, writing, spelling and arithmetic. The candidates who desire to follow the course pass a preliminary examination in the division in which they' are a* part. • 'A classification is made among the candidates, of each division and the first two are admitted to follow the course. For ,this examination a rating is given on behavior and work by the directors.of each division, \ The length of the courses is two years, each year counting .from the first of January to the 15th of November. The studies are followed three days a week, Tuesdays, Fridays "and "Satu"rd"ays7"th"e^WdMts^f'bothTyears being in,attendance the same day, one professor taking the students of the first year, and another* those of the second. * The length of the lesson period is VA hours, from 5 o'clock to half-past, six. Half this time is devoted to the lectures and the other half to explanations and interrogations. The first year's teaching comprises the principles of physics, mechanics, French, arithmetic and plane geometry. The second yoar includes physics nnd mechanics, French, the exploitation of mines, a little geology and the tracing of plans, , The students take notes and 'arrange them, nt home, try to Improve their writing, making their sketches ns fine as possible. Special rating Is given for wrltlng'and drawing and by the way their notes are kept during the school year. The students havo to wrlto three compositions and pass an oral examination at the end of each "year before three professors. Tlio percentage obtained for the 3 compositions nnd the examination serve to classify the students. Classification of studeiitfc* of the first yoar comprises throo classes: (1) Tho students who are nble to bo promoted to the second yenr; (2) Students who havo to repeat their first year's studies; (3) Studonta who havo been rofused to pass Into tho second year.

FARMERS WANT THE HOBOES ELLEXSBURG, April 25—Labor .as the scarcest it has ever been known in the Kittitas valley, and the police,' at the direction of Chief Jack Galvin, today arrested fifteen hoboes -who were on their way through to\vnxand gave them the alternative of going to work in the country or working on the chain gang. They all accepted farm work. Both night and day police officers are watching the Northern Pacific Ry. yards and arresting every tramp tbey find ridng the rods through that station. ■'There is worlc for three hundred men here right now," said Chief Galvin. "I- have applications for more than a score of farm hands and for every application sent, me there are twenty who never see me, V/e round up all the rooming houses and serve warning that every man not at work would be arrested and put on the chain gang," The above clipped from a' Seattle paper speaks for. itself. So, it has come to that "in the land of the free and the home of the brave." Working men are rounded up (a term borrowed from the western cattle ranches) in their beds In the early morning, and given the choice between forced labor on' the' roekpile with ball and chain and forced labor for the ranchers without ball and chain. • Can anybody blame these unorganized men for choosing as they did in this case?. Now we are beginning to learn 'what the'"free contract" means;'that free contract between the buyer and the seller of labor power. , It is a new version of, that eternal law of supply and demand,* a version that seems to work out very nicely; the* employers demand labor power— and the, police supply It. . , There is one great advantage about this system as far.as the workers are concerned.

COAL CRISIS OVER Dispute in the South Wales Field is Now Settled The great, dispute in the South Wales coal trade, which has lasted for some time and has been fully detailed in many papers, has practlcaly closed. A ballot of the men has been taken and the .latest figures show that the, miners have decided' to accept the terms which were,placed before the.British Miners' Federation. This, of course,. occurred after the' Welshmen had thoroughly discussed the whole matter amongst themselves. The British Miners' Federation were asked to give tlieir support in the impending struggle, and agreed to do so, but after a private conference, nt which delegates representing the various Interests were present, It was decided to recommend the Welsh coal minors to accept the owners' proposition. The greatest difficulty was the question in regard to payment for work in abnormal places. , The owners contended that If a fixed wage was paid to the men working In such positions thoy might shirk.the work. At nny rate tho argument concerning the matter failed to end hi any agreement, and the British Minors' Federation, having considered It fully,, decided that tho point at Issuo, as well as others Involved, were not of sufficient Importance to load to a largo number of mon coming out on strike Sovornl of tho labor leaders have boen blamed for not taking a stronger position In regard to this mattor. What Ib fairly ovldont Is that thoy have takon tho right courso, nnd dosplto nd- vorne criticisms the ballot menno that tho terms of the agroemont will bo accepted.

APRIL 30, 1910" A veritable human pliable toothpick who creates storms of laughter at the Pernie Opera house.* If you are entitled to*, vote on the by-laws remember the day 'is fixed for the 5th. Vote first and kick afterwards. The monthly tea. of the Methodist Church Ladies Aid will be held at thc home of Mrs. H. Wilkes on Tuesday, May 3rd, afternoon at 3.30 p.m., and evening at 8 p.m. Services will be held at the Method- ist'church on Sunday as^usual. Morn- ingvat 11, a.m. and-evening at 7.30 p.- m. . Rev. Lashley Hall will preach at both-services. At the evening service a solo will be rendered by Miss Laura Hall, the youngest daughter of * the pastor. Everybody welcome. A, E. .Yeager was tried last week before P. M. J. Ryan at Cranbrook, charged with obtaining money under false pretences. " It appears* thnt he took two very.large coyote pelts to a Moyie justice- of the poaco to whom ■ he claimed they were the skins of timber wolves, and upon this representation he was paid $30. Chief Sampson was notified and he, in order to be absolutely sure, culled In the services of an export who promptly classified them as coyotes.. The accused was committed for trial. May Day colijures up in the mind of tho Sv.'nool girt thai beautiful recltat- < ion about "cull" me early mother, for tomorrow is the bright May morn"; to the industrial worker there looms visions of a holiday with its accompanying parades, blare of trumpets and sounds of oratory; to the furniture re- . mover it's the day when he makes his harvest as this is the day fixed upon by many to "change their domicile. These various phases of the events incident to the initial day-of next month fade into insignificance when dwelt upon by the disciple of Isaac Walton who rises blithely as tiie lark in anticipation of a thoroughly enjoyable day's sport, which is a foregone conclusion if he first equips himself with the proper accessories. A com- _ plete) shipment of all the hooks, flies, leaders/ reels, rods, etc., have been unpacked at. Suddaby's and as an examination of them would gladdon the heart of local *. fishermen, we would urge that they go early and make their selection. '' .-• Tlie meetings of the Socialist party are increasing in attendance every ' Sunday evening, and the interest evidenced by the participants shows conclusively that the members of the working class are'determined to study the. questions so vital to their own well being. A' very lively discussion ensued at the meeting' held in their regular quarters on the lower floor of the Miners Opera house on Sunday '"evoTivng"last_whOT. the-'differentrdebalT- ers gave expression to their opinions regarding the much mooted influence of, the respective methods of ad van c- "ing the emancipation of the workers, both on thc political field and through their economic .or industrial organizations, It was decided to celebrate May Day by holding a meeting in the Opera House, when C, M. O'Brien will address the gathering on the vital question, which is considered by all, "The Labor Problem," and for the solution of which the Socialists claim and aro over ready to defend their position that tiie only way it pan be solved is by tlie total abolition of the present expropriation of surplus value.
