And Address Trades and Labor Delegates on the Labor Situation- Law of Compensation ; A large .attendance of the newly- elected delegates put in an appearance at the last' regular meeting of tho Lethbridge Trades and Labor Coun-, cil with President Tuckweli, who has .be<en re-elected as president, In, tho , chair. ., Fraternal seats ,were „ granted to President W.

After routine business had been dis- , posed of refreshments were served. , President Tuckweli, after a few introductory remarks, called upon President Powell to address the delegates. President Powell congratulated tho Lethbridge Trades and,Labor Council . for being a live body-of trades-unlon- 1 ists, and it was a source .of gratification _ for him to, hear'.there were 14 "international labor unions affiliated ■ with,, the council and, that the dele- * gates assembled represented some 1,500 union men in the city of Lethbridge. ' ' • •'• ' • , They had a great.power which could be used in' moulding public opinion locally and nationally and could they but realize that their union and council meetings were of more importance ■ than even secret societies.or the like, they would be benefitted to the extent of raising themselves to a higher social plane.'' 7. - He regretted workingmen were too* ■ prone to neglect their unions in'favor * of the hypnotism of baseball or "Jolin- .sonitls," and they were all" too ready to leave the work of their organizations.-!0 _be_ carried on by the few faithful plodders who realized the - seriousness, and 'importance ' of- the labor union. . - * ~, * There were stirring times ahead for ..organized .labor, powerful1 and'' unscrupulous .opponents were scheming "to .defeat* tho;.aims, and object's of the 7unlons and-reduce their strength to, zero. *"'.•* - In Prank a "member of the U. M W. of. A. had been charged with murder after a.coroner's jury had brought in a verdict, of "accidental deatli." The case arose out of the unsafe conditions in' the-Prank mines and tho recent strike which took place when the union* miners' stood by their brother who * had been discriminated against by tho mino officials who wore eventually forcod to relnstato tho man now charged with wilful murder. 0 Tho brother concerned was unfortunate enough to havo a car run away and a man, known as being, unfair to ■ tho union, was killed as a rosult of tho accident, tho unfortunate man being at the mouth of tho shaft at tho tlmo, whicli is nothing moro or less than a death trap. Cars ' woro continually running away in this mine and its dangerous condition was so apparent to tho cor- onor's jury, that, added onto their verdict of "accidental death" woro IS STABBED TOJEATH Two Italians Have Mix- Up That May Mean Necktie Party hunt Sunday morning word roaohort towii tlmt a mui'ilor had bec-ti committal*! at. .Tnffrny, nnd upon malting en* -rjtih.es it was ascertained (hat an Italian section-linnd had boon Blabbed In two plncoii by ft countryman.

The president of the council then called* upon. Vice President Stubbs to address the. delegates. ■ Vice President Stubbs remarked that the last time- he was invited lo the' Trades and Labor Council tlie occasion was made memorable to him by the' presence" of the Rev. Mr. Fortune, of" the Alberta Social and Moral Reform league, who ".addressed the then delegates on "Prohibition," and judging from-what he saw that evening, with the delegates enjoying their glasses of,*."Pride of Alberta," a distinctly union* product, .the. reverend gentleman.had not convinced tho union men of that city to' see his way. Perhaps" it might be the' little lesson .Iii' economics given that night showed there was another side bf the" prohibition question to be .looked, at. , They had'heard about the serious charge laid against one of their members and lie was glad to hear the ex- "pressions^of*-approval—of~~Presiden_ Powell's remarks. 7„ _ ■' "v ' .The path_of__organized -labor was fraught with-danger and only by. cohesion arid co-operation' could they hope to overcome the dangers, with any degree of success. ■ The craft* organizations must, of necessity, come closer- together- and whether they realized it or not, thoy were being forced -to discard "the old individual craft ideas and adopt new methods to meet new conditions. Every craft union is composed of sellers of labor- power, whether by carrying a hod, erecting a building, transmitting olec- trlcal energy or handing out schooners-of .beer,-they, were all sellers of labor-power, and as„such their interests were identical, to obtain as high a'.price for their particular kind of labor as possible. Sometimes they hoard of a "fair day's work for a fair day's pay." What did it moan? Could anyone say whero and when thoy must draw the line? If not, then thoy must revise lho old craft union shibboleth and demand for a "fair day's work" Its real equivalent in exch'ango values, "tho full product of our labor, and with that, accomplished tho trades-unions will. pasB out, Its nood will not bo felt." Tho labor movomont must tako political action, not the moro marking of a ballot, but political action in Its widest sense. In British Columbia tho Unitod Mlno Workors had several casoB of compensation which woro being conlostoi. by tho coal oporators and tho ensos woro to bo hoard,beforo tho supremo court and may ovontually go boforo tho privy council. Tho caBOB In question concern tho forolgn brothorB In tho union, and at llio Instigation of tlio coal oporntoi'H tlio courts woro to docldo whothor tho do- pondontB living In a forolgn country woro ontltlod to compensation whon tlin bronilwhuier lud licon killed or maimed In .IiIb cotuilry.

This must be done else the shackles" of the worst kind of slavery ever conceived in the mind of man would be so firmly riveted on the hands of labor as to make it almost hopeless to re-' move them. -" ■« So far as Lethbridge was concerned he "was convinced that the men who were at the head of the labor movement would-not" fail to do their'^art, but the main, fight must be fought by the, rank' and file. Vice* President* Stubbs' remarks were greatly appreciated by the delegates, judging from the' applause. A motion of thanks to President Powell and Vice President Stubbs for their addresses was "put and carried, and President Luckwell/on behalf of organized."labor* in the district of Lethbridge,,assured the officials of District 18 of their solid support.

GRAND TRUNK STRIKE ' TIE'S UP TRAFFIC Burton City on a visit to CONVICTS MINE COAL AT THE PENITENTIARY m „ , , Work of-Sinking Shaft at Edmonton Penitentiary-Has Been Going On For Some Time. ■ The Edmonton, penitentiary has one feature about it which is decidedly unique, and which no other penitentiary in' Canada caTi„boast of, namely, the owning and operating of a coal mine in connection with the institution. ' „, p, In the other penitentiaries different trades, etc., are taught the convicts, but it is only in Endmonton that the lucky convict can boast of being* a competent "oeal 'mine. .Started a Year Ago. Just a year ago this summer, Warden McCauley ''conceived the brilliant idea of utilizing the coal beds on which the penitentiary'is situated, and thus—saving— tho—expense—of— buy-ing- coal. Accordingly a drift, ■ or shaft, was started in the river" bank just behind the penitentiary and a tramway built from 'the penitentiary to the drift. The work of excavating the shaft, which is about six feet high, waa'continued all last fall* and winter, but it was hot until this week that the-efforts of'the impromptu miners were rewarded," and the coal bed or what was thought to be the coal bed was discovered. Several dumps of good coal were.taken out but these ceased and it was discovered that a pillar of coal only had been struck and that the real bed was somewhat farther on. It is expected that the coal bed will be reached by noxt week, and from thon on mining operations will bo commenced ln earliest, The Warden Enthusiastic. Soon by the Bulletin yeBiorday War- don McCauley was very enthusiastic regarding the mlno. "There Is enough coal ln the vlcl nity of tho penitentiary," ho said "to last tho institution for 25 years and oven then only the top bod will bo exhausted,' Undonioath that another bod is known to exist and so far as ,wo know other beds richer and larger may possibly be underneath that. ."Our shaft or drift oxtonds 22R foot from the rivor bank In tho direction of tho penitentiary which will moan having a drift ovor BOO foot long. By this tlmo our ponltontlury wall will no doubt bo constructed, nnd wo will thon havo our mino In prison property.

Mr. Collins," representing . the Calgary Herald, has beon hi the. city during the last week getting data of the city for a special edition that The, strike of the G. T. P. men affecting, some '4,000, is having a very serious effect' botn on freight and passenger traffic, and although at present it is confined to the district east of*Chicago, nevertheless its influence is 'wide reaching. Recriminations and accusations are being circulated by both parties, President Hayes stating that he was willing to grant the terms of the award made by tho board of arbitration, while on the other side he Is charged with a breach of faith' and that he began to "shave" lhe recommendations as soon as they were advanced. That the company intends to put up a fight and that it was anticipated is shown by the dispatch of "heroes" to all points of the line and so quietly was this effected that had it not been that* the immigration officials turned back some hundred men the matter would not have leaked out. It is _tated that thesecnien have gone to Detroit, where they may again attempt to get into Canada. Reports in'the daily papers,,are to the effect that recruits for' the noble army of strike-busters to the, number of 800 have been secured in Chicago and have been forwarded'with all haste to the different, points on the railway within the past 48 hours. The decision of the G. T. P. to close all shops at Montreal, Toronto, London, Stratford, Port Huron, Battle Creek, Portland and Chicago will have a widespread effect and is a clever strategic move as those who are thus deprived of an opportunity to work will lay the blame upon their fellow workers, and to intensify the situation the store-keepers who supply the families of the men, out of work will of course politely * inform their patrons that credit will be cut off entirely or very much abbreviated and' although they may, receive scoldings for tlieir action it is not to; be expected that these . merchants can "carry" people for any length of time. President Hayes* is quoted as saying that it is not because of any desire on the part of the G._ T. P. to hurt the employes, but simply in order to concentrate all their forces-and use all available funds to prosecute the strike. It would be far more beneficial to the railroad employes of all- branches if they were to con- A CHAPTER OF SAD ACCIDENTS Young Man Fatally Injured at the Elk Mill-Three Miners Killed-Third *,* Man Still Unconscious At Fernie.

C, JULY ,23, 1910s Describing this question the "Phila- delphian North American" said iri a recent issue: - . , The -, American newspapers one morning recently told -• in ,* a' casual way that the German Emperor had announced in his speech from, the throne at the opening of his parliament that plans had been drawn up to institute a government insurance ,on the lives of workmen. I ,.*' For several years German workmen * have been protected against losses by illness or disability through" a system of industrial insurance; under control' of the government. Now this systom is to be extended, and* the principle' is to be applied to life insurance among the samo classes. v Americans are apt to dismib-i the ■r.ul'ji'ct with a contemptuous refer- C'lic.fe to paternalism. American workmen, wo are wont to say, do not need Ho festering care that the effete l.uropeans require to keep us in the industrial competition. Tn the exuberance of our youth, with the riches of a new land lying all about us, we forgot, that age comes to a nation as well as to an* individual',' and that profligacy brings the time of national as well as individual want, with amazing swiftness. It may be '.true that under present conditions in the "United States and with* our existing .form of federated government, it would be impossible tb put into execution plans identical wltli rhosu adopted in Germany for the conservation of the empire's greatest national resource. But there'is urgent need for the application of the principle for the protection of American workmen is proved by the record of every day's news columns. The''•'government industrial insurance is important, not merely as a palliative of individual suffering, but principally as a deterrent of the useless killing of workmen. If the community is made to see that it must pay for the waste'of life, that waste will be reduced to a minimum. While the" American people are growing excited over, the danger that is threatened to the remaining-water sites, every day there is a waste of natural" resources whicli make' water , sites look like mere baubles if viewed in the right, light to show their real relative values. Every minute of every working day in the year some American man, woman, or .child is killed or injured in the pur- ,' suit of lawful employment, It has been said that the cheapest - raw "material which enters into the industrial output of tho Unitod States ==is=human=£lssh==and^blQQd ** STAY AWAY. -♦♦ *. ♦ - '♦ • **•► ♦ *• Notice to All Mine Workers; ♦ ♦ All miners are requested to ♦ ♦ stay away from Irwin, Madison, fa ♦• Greensburg, Latrobe and other ♦ ♦ mining towns in Westmoreland ♦ _>■ county, where a strike has beeri*^ ♦ in effect since April 1, 1910, the ♦ .♦.coal companies having refused ♦ ♦ to recognize the miners' or- ♦ ♦ gdnization.or enter into a work- ♦ ♦ ing agreement.

DONOVAN, ♦ ♦ Sec'y-Trcas. ♦ ♦ - ♦ While this may not be-literally true, it is striking, if exaggerated, expression of the disregard of the nation for the ^appalling toll that is paid every - year in the lives and limbs of its producers. The census bureau lias gathered statistics which show , that 100,000 persons nro killed annually whilo at work. Thin takes no,account of the thousands who are maimed, many of whom are left helpless burdens ' on the community. Several, careful' students of industrial conditions in this country' estimate tbe number of workmen killed and i maimed in a single year at 500,000. ■ . . These figures make war seem like a harmless pastime. Tho last great conflict between the nations of the first rank*appalled the world'with .its slaughter. Yet in that war the total number of killed and wounded on the Russian and Japanese sides was fewer than 350,000. Two'1 clays' killings in the workshops, mines and on the railroads of the United States represent a greater loss of life than the total "Americans killed in battle in the last foreign war in which the nation engaged., ' Actuaries have reckoned that the slaughter and the maiming of workmen in this country impose an annual direct .loss of between $300,000,000 and $400,000,000. - It is undoubtedly true that the American people are as humane * as any in the world, out of business hours. But the' intensity of qur industrial and commercial life, the mania for speed andrthe mad desire to realize the largest profits at once, regardless of future needs-or present cost, have made us seem like a nation of savages. -, Figures gathered from a period of years show that American railroads annually, kill one employe -. in every 399., For the same period, the English railroads .annually kill one in =ever-y=916,=^The railroads^=of the, United States injured one, employe in. every 26. The English roads injured one In vevery 116. - • About the same ratio was preserved among the passengers. The American railroads killed one passenger in every 2,316,648,-while the English roads killed one in every 8,461,309. The frightful, disparity between the deatli rate on English and American railways is partially explained by the greater mileage of American roads. Passengers -and employes travel over longer distances and are thus exposed to greater."hazards. < ■„*.''* But the fact remains" that the.English roads, which carry twice as many passengers in a year as do American roads, kill, only one-tenth as, many. Trackage has something to do with it, but national temperament and habits of * thought, are the chief explanation. • The Englishman refuses to let; his railroads kill him that he may make a little faster timer or that the "dividends of the corporation: •may. be a little larger. • Nearly the same ratio is maintained between the casualties of American and German railroads as between thoso of American and English roads. Yet an official German report: says that" 53 per cent of the accidents in that country are preventable. And that wonderful' Gorman people will prevent them in the end. The railroads illustrate the comparative conditions in nearly every in- rdustry. - American steel mills are veritable .Molochs eating up human sacrifices.- One Pittsburg superintendent, described as a humane, Christian gentleman is * quoted by Lyman Beccher Stowe in a recent magazine article, as saying that tho loss of* life is not a matter of great concern, as the victims "are mostly ignorant' foreigners and' easily replaced." , ' (\ . We take two exceptions to thc proposition. The first is that whatever the facts may be in the steel lndutf ry it is not true that .the victims of*, industrial • accidents inr general are mostly ignorant and easily* replaced. It is certainly not true of tbe railroads, whose employes are peculiarly American and of a' high order of intelligence. * Yet after years of effeort to put into effect a national employers' liability law, the best" that has been got past the courts has been an emasculated act which a recent decision permits to be applied in the territories and the district of Columbia. The rest,of the country is dependent on the haphazard, legislation and crazy-quilt decisions of the states. ' * The second exception to the' Pittsburg man's' proposition is that it' is murderous even, if it were true as to facts'. And aside from any question of mortality or humanity, it is the utmost of economic waste. Civilization, industrial systems, even steel "companies, exist- for human beings, and not human" beings for other things: Every life' uselessly sacrificed is at once a perversion and an1' indictment .of-civilization j b__ Simply from the point of view of national economy it is ra crime, for no other waste can compare with the destruction of the makers of-wealth. But as our industrial life is governed by the principle of immediate profits, the most effective. way tof stop the Joss bf life is to make it immediately ^unprofitable. The American people -an find a way if they really want to do it. PELIZZARRI WRITES FROM PENNSYLVANIA Carnegie, Pa., July G, 1910. Editor Mino Workers' Journal: - You return homo onco, drunkon.

Haskin.^7 .7 WASHINGTON, July 16'^—The new Bureau of Mines, in the Department of the Interior, began-its",existence° July 2}; The-'act-establishing'.the,bureau was approved by President -Taft on May. 16 "of this year.; -In-the-creation of "this bureau the government gives tardy '.-recognition to the'' second greatest-industry, of, the nation, an '"industry, which yields .more .than two billion" dollars a year" in-wealth; The work of the Bureau of Mines will be "a work of conservation, in "that its prime purposes are the.saving of human" lives and the prevention of actual waste and loss in the" mines of'the country. • -The bureau will not undertake* the" work of mine .inspection, wliich will remain under the control of the several states, but, it will give the state inspectors, its co-operation and advice, especially along lines suggested by scientific* investigation. - Nearly three years ago,o under the direction of the geological survej', a systematic investigation of the fuel supply was undertaken.' This "inves- .tigation directed attention to the wasteful methods of coal, mining.in this country, especiallj* those, working in coal fields. The work.of this particular investigation, * which included also the testing of structural materials, expanded- so rapidly and was so productive of beneficial results, that new life was given to the long dormant demand for a federal Bureau of Mines. This movement has its fruition today in the t establishment of the bureau. - . - To Save the Miners. Life ^saving. is to be one ' of the chief purposes of the bureau. Tliere are 700,000 coal miners in the United States and it -is a shameful fact that a greater" number of men are. killed in the mines* of the United Slates every year than -in the mines of .any other country', a number greater both in the.,aggregate and in proportion to the number of men employed. Furthermore, the records show' that the proportion of ""deaths among coal miners has beon increasing in this country,* while it has been decreasing* in all other countries. In connection with this statement it is.-interesting to note that the United .States is the last mining nation to* establish a governmental Bureau of Mines. ' The*_rate per.thousand of men killed at work' among American coal miners for a period of 20 years, has been 3.13. .This denotes a- steady increase—2.52 in-1899 to 3.96 in, 1908. For the past 10 years the United States showed'a death rate per thousand coal miners of 3,46 as compared .with_,2.13-iniPrussia,T-1.29iin— Great- Britain, and 1.06 in Belgium. Ino Belgium, where a scientific study of the problems of coal mining has been carried on for 60 years, the death rate among coal miners has been decreased steadily, decade by decade, so that the number of miners killed per thousand has'beeii decreased from 3.28, for the decade ending in 1860, down to 1.06 tot the last decade. In the last ten' years. 19,684 coal miners were killed in the United States, the death rate being 3.46 for each thousand employed. In Belgium in the same period 2,409 miners were killed,, a rate of 1.06' per thousand, If the Uniled States had had Belgiums death rate, 13,858 lives would have beon saved in those ten years. ,. The records of accidents In metal and ore mines nre not so complete as thoso in tho coal mines. But it Is known that while not nearly so many deaths occur, lho death rato por thousand Is quito ns high among tho metal miners of this country as among tho coal mlnos'. For Instnnco in tho Minnesota iron mines tho death rate por thousand wos 5.54 for, threo years, and in tho Missouri lead and zinc mines tho death rato was 3,01 for ton yonrs. Thoso figures must bo compared with tlio rocord of tho donth rato of 1,18 for all motul mines in Groat Britain, nnd of 1,05 for all ore mines In Ilolglum, to appreciate how fnr Iho Amerlcnn minon lag bohlnd In tho businoss of snfoguardlng tho lives of their ompIoyoB, Safety in Mining, Tho now bureau will mako scientific rescnrclios such ns mnko for safety In mining.

C, JULY 23, 1910/ PAGE THREE \Y W" y-i"• „,7 (Reynold's "Weekly; -'y ^■/'iAf filiated to the-general federation of-trade-unions there* are 137 trade " societies with ."a - total membership of - over ; 700,000. The '. annual . council .meeting is to .be-held-, at'Swansea on , Thursday and Friday next,- when several amendments-to the existing rules -of. the Federation, are to.be proposed. " The'federation.has been in.existence ; for il years,'and is really .the financial ■*•■ depot*of the "trade -union's. "•- Last-year ' there was a heavy' strain iipon the , funds," yet for the year ending, March *.3ltlast a" greater sum-was "carried tb reserve than in any^previous year. This "sum, amounted to.l£25,173 13s ' lid:,, though the amount actually carried forward, is £99,9 02*18s.^3d.N The . latter'constitutes a. reserve fund. The ' total expenditure last year was £lli- , 808, and only in three years, during the last eight hus the sum expended , been smaller. A society which deals -- with such' a large amount of money, is bound to attract .considerable attention, and so tho proposed amendments to the rules of the federation are1; of Importance. The Dockers' . Union will, move that the office of . chairman shall be held forgone year only, but the Sheet Metal Workers consider a period of three years better, and will-move an amendment to ". that effect. The present chairman of ,.,the federation is Alderman Allen Gee, J. P., of'.the -Weavers'and Textile workers, 'Yorkshire, and he is the only ■' person nominated for chairman at the forthcoming council meeting. Another •■ amendment 'will propose that-one" of ' ,.the objects of the 'federation 'shall .be , to secure unity of action amongst all • societies forming the federation; An 7 amendment to .Rule 6 is in favor of '. establishing a legal defense fund..." :Mr,: O'Lehano says:;. "In the drapery business "some employers,* or rather managers, have an idea" that when assistants are'' getting. *oiarried0they cannot do so without their permission. If any action'on 'the..(part of, this or any other firm'is,allowed to go ~uu- ' challenged, the position in the drapery trade,would be an Intolerable'one." The.association will .endeavor to get the man reinstated,*'or, at least,-have a similar.occurrence .made impossible in the'future;' V - ' - .. 7* * " ',-i ■ CorporationWorkers. Those who take-an interest'iri the busirie'ss -transacted at- the Trade Union Corigt*ess.,wiil remember that in 1906 the'.congress passed a resolution condemning the principle-of municipal workers haying-a union of their own. There was considerable friction oyer this, as it was contended that;there already existed unions to which municipal, workers'were eligible. In calling attention to this matter/-Mr. J. J. W. Bradley, the president of thd National Union of Corporation-Workers, insists that municipal workers ought to have a union of their own, and they aro determined to maintain their union in spite of the hostility of a. few rival organizations. Ho says:. "We" are not" the only organization by many that * are not affiliated.' to the "congress;,, there-/is much work for the union to do, and its'work must go on.' •-.; * - Draper's Assistant's Dilemma., '- We .have had our attention called . to' a "remarkable case in Dublin in which a "draper's assistant employed , by' Messrs.. Switzer and company of * Grafton street, was discharged,.b?- cause he requested a week's leave" of "'.-' absence! as he, had made arrange- ..ments to get married: The Irish Draper's Assistants' association has taken .the matter u'p,;arid arra'nge- <ments are being made to hold a piib- - .lie" meeting' in the Rotunda ' to. do-" "nounce the action,of the".firm. I\lr. . ;'M. J. O'Leliane, the" general, secre- ' tary .of the association,'has 'sent "us i full'details--of .th'e case, from which .-'it appears that the assistant had been' .-' over 16 years* in the firm's employ, "- and had an excellent character. He was-informed by the-firm" that they •* could not permit. Wm to continue-iri .- their employment as lie/was getting ^mairieu io a^uun*_~*"'"'j-^.'cl»6?*v'3,='-»—*"" tha same- line of business. This I'same. line of business", is ' a' little shop in the Lower Druincondra-road. of Messrs. Houlders' boats that, enter ed the.port in future. These proposals haying been, agreed'to, all the Avon-' mcutB men resumed work * at . the docks.--' Through relying on a summarized report of the meeting held by • the msn's representatives 'on' June. 11, we«were led,* unfortunately, Into doing some injustice to Mr. Ben Tillett; as it was stated that he told the men' that the award of. the Arbitration Board was contrary, to the evidence, and he recommended them--not to accept-it. This was not in accordance with the facts,• as" Mr7Tillett, himself a firm supporter* of, the principle of arbitration, urged.upon the men that the award having" been given they*-must accept it. In conjunction with the other leaders he pointed out that refusal to accept the award would not only throw over the arbitration, court, but -would also throw over the'authority and advice of the leaders. . TRADES -FEDERATION. New Proposals for the General Council The Dock Strike at Newport. . 7 The strike at Newport amongst the dockers against the introduction of' a system of, payment by the day instead of at' tonnage rates is still taking its course', and it has been decided not to withdraw any further police until Messrs. Houlders' steamship, Indian1 Transport,-and- the-shipping federation's-depot'ship,, Lady Jocelyn, liave departed from! the port^and the free labor gangs,'return [ home. The'claim of Messrs.' • Houlder, Brothers for £1,100 for damage and demurrage for delay in-loading their steamship has been sent to the Newport town council, and-the latter body have agreed to pay.-. £1,OOO, It .-was only upon-the, corporation consenting * to pay demurrage at £100 a day up. to 10 days that- Messrs. Houlder * consented to allow the arbitration which took, place; and" they* delayed, the importation of the1'strike-breakers.-7It will be remembered that the trouble spread to' Avonmouth, ■ where the, dockers refused .lo.load Messrs. Houlders' steamship, Natal Transport. ' But the men have held a* conference, and have decided7 that four**-crane men'and one foreman"';should;.be. allowed, to^ work ,ohithe_3hlp7andi-*yhe^^^ eration men., were removed. after,, tlie ship had sailed, .he Avonmouth men would .agree to load or discharge t any Wages and Hours of Labor. Tlie Board of Trade are still on tho big task of collecting statistics in regard to the wages and hours of labor of the .working classes ih the United,Kingdom. They have already issued three reports, and now the fourth of the series is to hand. It appertains' to those in the public utility service, - namely, roads "and sanitation,* gas, electricity, water, tramways, and omnibuses. There are over 268,000 persons engaged in the work mentioned, 95 per cent of which are men. The average wage paid to the persons in these works, including those who worked either less or more than-full time, was 26s. 3d. For nien the average was' 27s., and lads and boys' 12s. ■■_■*• ' ,° The-woiIters in'tho -ural disuicts earned l'.ss'than those in towns or a population of 100,000. The average number of.-hours worked was 54.7. Tramway and-omnibus men had tlie highest average,* 58,7, and electricity supply men the lowest, 51.9." Railway' Men. Dismissed. During the past. 12 months several men working iri. the London and Northwestern' Railway carriage works at Wolverton have been discharged, whilst in several shops men are only working four or five days a .week. In all about 450 men have" been, discharged. This is a very serious matter for the* men, and something akin to consternation .was felt amongst those, at work when this week notices to stop' work- was served .upon another batch of- men. ,.*The local; P-jrish Council "and the District-Council are to hold a meeting to - consider .f it _is_no_t_p_osslbJ_e__to7es_:aJ3li_3h__sp_m_e_j3 industry .-in * the; town; which" has suffered a great loss through'the nuemor- ous discharges. ,---■* ' _ - .Forest;.and'_bush"'fires are playing havoc aii^around us and the mill known as Gibson's;,about"five miles out; is endangered.** =.*_ The fire .brigade" had . a hurryup call to the rubbish heap at the east snd of the coke ovens, and they are to be "complimented on their prompt action or it might have. quickly communicated • to" the East Coleman district, and done considerable damage. .The general opinion in this town regarding';ithe' action of the Crown in the case of - Decoux, - the Belgian miner, at Frank who is now in McLeod "; awaiting trial charged with murder after a jury of* business men had brought in a verdict of accidental death, that it was a • high-handed piece of business. Decoux was surrounded by quite, a large crowd of sympathizers when - he , was taken on the train handcuffed- to Detective Piper's left, wrist, and everyone* expressed themselves as very sorry for the unjustly accused man. He complains that hejs not getting enough to eatr He is a strong, healthy man and ought to be fed accordingly. The way the district officers' have acted on behalf of this brother calls""* for loud praise and our president, Will Powell is entitled to special commendation' as his effSrts have been untiring and he has considered neither distance nor difficulty any obstacle in doing all that he can.to help the man. in his trial, andeso far as the rank and file are concerned, judging-by "the remarks made, tliey will do all that lies in their power by furnishing the, sinews of war to fight this, case- as long" as they have a five-cent piece left as this is not merely" an' attempt to- railroad a man to the gallows, but a' direct attack on tho liberty of all. individuals and Decoux being the one selected' is merely incidental. „ At a • meeting' of the Carbondale-local' at McGilllvray assistance was - voted to help the unfortunate Belgian.

With Fernie's past experience precautionary measure against the,"fiery element aro absolutely essential,. * With tho waters of Coal and Fairy creek at'^our disposal together with numerous hydrants now tha,t we are to ' have additional, hose as a result of demand made by several citizens the ability to cope with any conflagration ought to place it on a par witli any city in Canada. Whilo on this subject a burning one indeed trust that the intention to establish a sub-station in the annex will be consummated in the near future thus providing a section of the city with the protection that it so sorely needs. Again* the system-of fire alarms ought to bo instituted "with all possible dispatch and the Gnmewoll system would save a great amount of time because of the strokes of rbe boll indicating to the .-spare firemen the whereabouts *-. of tlie fire 'without going io tho fire hall to mako enquiries as is the case.at tlie present time.' , * We have bylaws stating that hotels and similar buildings should bo supplied with fire .escapes and other .means of exit in case of need.* Ontario has a law. which is in force that overy room in a hotel shall be supplied with a rope whereby guests may escape* in the event of oilier means being cut off. Fernie could follow this -example, but first of all see that the bylaws already made are in force and it is up to the fire chief to see tbat it is done. companies, but is equally applicable to every craft in the industrial world. ..."

Looking over "The Labour Gazette" for May t we note that out of the total of 94 killed in 16 different departments there were 16 in railway service and 40, or practically one-sixth of the 246 injured, and these statistics are only based upon cases brought to the notice of the department through the press of the country or by the correspondents, of the Labour Gazette. Such a ghastly toll is by no means a pleasant subject for contemplation, especially is this more noticeable when comparison is made with the low percentage of the European countries. FRESH AIR SCHEME. SAFETY OF LIFE. „ The death of brakeman McAteer, wliich was caused 'by being struck on the head by the- beams of No. 26 o snowshed as the train was passing through, still further " emphasizes the fact that the snowsheds, and" this one in particular, are not as safe as they might be. No. 26 shed, as was stated in the evidence at the inquest on Wednesday night, is lower than the others, and dangerous for the brakeman who have to be out on top of. the cars. The nce.d_inay_oflen_ai:ise_fQr_a._man ■t6_gat_up_-froni_a. sitting posture when going through snowsheds, and when he does so) he is called upon to risk his life" unnecessarily, Six feet from the top of a car to the beam of'the shed is not enough space for safety and provision *i should be mado so as to' render a man safe while on the top of a car _n any position he .nay be in. There is' no need to have such a close'fit'for tho cars in the 'sheds and tho.'fnct that two lives have boen lost-this year through practically tho same' cause should be ground enough to, show the C. P. R. that their servants risk their lives' too much In this respect. Tho cars seem to be getting highor all.tho timo and yot tho sheds remain unaltered. It is to be hoped that tho C. P.'it. 1 M will take notico of, and adopt the recommendation of the jury on Wednosdny for the minimizing of the dangor to""trainmen in the sheds nnd mnko the necessary i.iionilioiift. Tho. above cdltorinl from "The Mail Herald," Revel, stake, July 9, Is timely, but the question ono may ask will it be heeded'by the C, P. R.? This is by no moans the first accident of a liko chnrncter that hnR happened nnd despite the recommendation's of previous juries no act km 1ms boon tnkon looking to tho safeguarding of tho liven ot' thoso Involved.

Last. Friday night one of those disgraceful, scenes that should call down the., scorn of every thinking person took place on .board the slast train ■up. One of-the male tpassengers, who liad imbibed-too;much of that curse of humanity. that causes a - man to become,, worse than a beast and entirely forgetful of what is meant by common decency, began to use the foulest and filthiest language that even a trooper might be; guilty of but would refrain from using in the presence* of women and-little children,' not so with this'brutalized specimen of manhood, and when he was asked to remember the fact that there were . women 'in hearing distance, burst forth with a string of the language that no dictionary contains and proved himself to be totally void of, respect for'the sox-of his mother and ■sister. He was brought up before the. authorities, and considering the hein- ousness of his misdemeanor, was very lightly dealt with by the imposition of *$]0 and costs.- It ls"to be hoped that . this will be a lesson that not-only he -Avill not forget, but that others will take, warning-by. .Well.'I wonder what was the matter with the football team that went down .to Frank;last Saturday.' Th . Is iIi-j second trip into sunny Alberta this season and they have returned point- lens both times, it really looks as if the wind. of ill luck followed them ; on tlieir. visits to the prairie cbuntry. The Frank team, looked as if they ..-meantobusiness the way they started the game amd" scored their first goal in the first two minutes of the game. This .was- the only, goal scored, and althouglithe Creek boys, did lots of pressing, they could not manage to equalize. ' The Creole team were without three of their regular players, .those being William and Alec McFegan and "Jack Manning,* which, .of course, 'weakened the team consider- 'ably, but it is 'no good' crying over spilt milk. The boys did their best. ■ After, tlie game the visitors were entertained with a,grand smoking concert In one of the local hotels and ' they all say that they had a real good * time. 'The team returned home on * Sunday morning with the train as far * as Fernie, but alas the, five-mile walk up. the hillside did not look good.to ■ the boys who had been enjoying them- "—Heives-",to7the^ee_s*m^'"hWrs"~of"tiie^ morning. They somehow' managed to bribe "the driver of .the large motor car-to assist .them over the grade and so they arrived back into the coal valloy once more. Just how the chaf- feur kept tho-.car in. tlie track with ■such a crowd -is somewhat of a mystery, as .tho road Is pretty narrow in some placos and. vory rocky, but he managed* it fine and the car fs still In good running order..,, , All the mines wero' Idle up here oh Saturday, and It being pay day the Creek- was almost deserted. The trains going lo Fernio w'ns packed to . suffocation, but everyone was on their good behavior ■ both going down and coming back. It woiild bo a good thing, nnd one that is badly needed at present,, that Is to reserve ono coach on Saturdny night especially for tho-ii-so of women niul .children, ns it certainly looks very bad and out of all reason to soo womon running from ono conch to anothor*boforo thoy cnn got aboard!

A very, important matter as one has. to acknowledge that without it be good there is grave ' danger of the ' public health being affected; again a plentiful supply of .his invaluable .liquid lessens the possibilities - of -ire's ravages and as a consequence not' only is "the town's borrowing capacity more' secure, but the insurance rates become more .reasonable. Again" the sanitary arrangements * could be systematically arranged instead of the haphazard methods that exist at' present and we all realize that the danger of an epidemic is a probability so long as the existing* conditions are allowed to continue. '* The horrible stenches noticeable in certain localities, which are still more noticeable when excavations arc, in operation, constitute a menace that every citizen ought to be anxious to abolish as fever Is no respecter of persons and once started none can tell whore it will complete its deadly .work. An-ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" is the old saying, and this is certainly one*Instance whore Immediate action should bo taken. Not only can an incorporated town attend better to thoso matters directly affecting public health, .but in addition (o these building restrictions can be enforced and within certain limits substantial brick buildings put up instead of flimsy fire-trap wooden structures, and as we have a splendid.supply of raw materials for building purposes, the cost, all things considered,. of brick over frame would be so small as to be practically equal. The election wliich will soon take place will mean that we shall have seven city fathers instead of three, and'as "the workingmen who own a vote should certainly endeavor ■ to select those who haye required ability to attend to the many important., details connected with municipal works. Coleman's future is assured' if all will work together for the common °good, as " the ....natural facilities 'are first- class, and in addition to the coal and coke industries with the large areas of clay suitable for building as well as other products, lumber, etc., a few years hence should see us in the forefront among the towns ' of Alberta. Those who object to incorporation because of the increased' expense conveniently forget that although this is perfectly "true yet the revenue likewise' takes on increased proportions and judicious expenditure necessarily enhances the values. * " ' siderable- sum of money changed hands over the match. Much thanks are " due tb Mr.'. Tom Smith of Hillcrest for .helping Jack in his training, and there may have been- a very different, ending 'to the match if Tom had been able to'-, go to MacLeod.' The Bellevue' football team visited Michel last Saturday and very nearly succeeded in getting their scalps. Our boys had "'the best of the game all through and were leading by 1 to 0 until two minutes ..from time, when Michel was fortunate ■ enough to even up. As to singling, out any of the players it would be a difficult job everyone was out to win and the way they went about it was not slow. The forwards played pretty football and it was a pleasant feature to watch the combinations. The only weakness was in front of goal, but they intend to remedy that.

July 15, Chief Inspector of Mines, ' -', - Edmonton, Alta. Dear Sir: At',-a recent' District. Executive Board meeting held at Frank, the matter regarding wash houses m Alberta was discussed. I was instructed to notify you of the' inadequate accommodation regarding these wash houses"'at several of,the mines in Alberta, and also the lack on the part of the government in enforcing the law respecting same. The district executives desire, however, to point out to you, that in their opinion, even considering the apparent laxity in being able to enforce the act, that- some measures should be taken to compel a moro "speedy enforcement, and to that end we "respectfully ore- quest that you will give this matter your earliest attention. ---Yours "truly, (Signed) -A. J.l CARTER, Sec'y District 18, UV M. W. of A. -EdmoiitonT-Ju!y—18—1010.— Sir:, ! We are - in receipt of your .letter of the 15th inst., and note your remarks re wash houses at several of* the mines iri Alberta. ^This matter has, had the attention of'Uhe department for some time,, and' Ve believe that arrangements are now being made for wash houses to be' built at all the mines where they are-required by the Coal Mines Act. Your obedient servant, * (Signed) JOHN T. STIRLING, Provincial Inspector of Minos'. * A. J. Carter,' Esq., Secretary'U. M. W, of A!, Fernio, B.C. ♦ MICHEL ♦ ♦ ' ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦.♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦<► Tlie mines were idle on Friday afternoon on No. 5 side, and all-ihe mines were" idle on Saturday and Monday. The Italian sports, wMch were to have., been held on Monday are ■ postponed owing io their not being able to secure a beer license for the day. The payroll for June_at the Michel Colliery, was $71,000. The Michel football team entertained Bellevuo on Saturday to. play the return league match with them. The game was hotly contested from start to finish nnd ended in a draw of,one goal each, wliich was a fitting result of the game. The Fernie boys come hore Saturday and Michel is expecting to turn the tables of their last encounter with the boys from Pittsburg. Tlio lineup for Saturday is as follows: Goal, J. Rayner; backs, J. Mason, S. Moores, (Captain); half backs, G. Ale- Govern and G, Miilett, J. Gordon; forwards, A7 Bookman, A. Goodwin, I<". Carney, li. Sudworth, W. Harper. . John Marsh, Jr., was fined §25 and costs for assaulting Mr. II. Nelson on Saturday, July 16th, and for'indulging too freely on,pay day beer. .Stanley Brewer had to pay $5.00 and' costs. . There were eight accident reports this week, all being of a slight nature. The old country ' arrivals into Michel tbis week are Mr. John Mather, Mr. J. South and Mr. Joe Gorton. , Five or six wagon* loads of people went up the Elk fishing this week and good baskets were reported from the majority of them. Mr. and Mrs. John Marsland made a visit to Fernie bn Monday. "Jack was looking a few of his old friends up, and he was quite surprised*at the growth of Fertile since ho last saw it For the first time water was turned into the mains of the new water system of New Michel. At the trijjj test water was thrown 300 feet above the highest building in town, and when it is fully completed New Michel will have one of the best "water systems in British Columbia. The insprred press reports emanating from Halifax, N. S., would lead a superficial observer to reach the conclusion that a fearful state of affair's existed there. Military ' protection was an absolute necessity. It is^to be wondered at that men kept themselves so well in. hand considering the exasperating provocation they are subject to at the hands of the hirelings of corporations. An injunction* was issued- against picketing, and Jules La ven ne' was selected as the victim to be tried; the evidence against him being furnished by an ex- policeman who had been summarily dismissed from th'e Halifax force for heinous offenses, supporting this limb of the law was a thug by the name of-McLennan. The accused appeared! on'the 24th of June at Halifax stop-i ping off en route ht .Truro, where lie was shadowed-by an individual who, whoii confronted and asked what his business, glibly lied, yet upon taking the morning train La- venne says his follower boarded tho train, and at Shubcnncadlo he was reinforced. Upon the counsel for the company demanding thnt Lavenne be placed on the stand for cross-examination the lalter's lawyer objected but expressed willingness to have this done provided tbo company's witnesses also be' subjected to cross-examination. This did not meet .with the approval of thc company's counsel and was not complied with. After considerable exchange of legal verbi- i i*>0SC0G age Justice Drysdalo delivered 0 tlie following decision: I am disposed to accept .his oath in this respect, as among a large number of'men engaged in illegal demonstration it is quite possible the deponents in the application may have been mistaken in their efforts to identify individuals. I think the affidavits for the plaintiffs disclose violations of order in other respects which may be-* Jonsid- ered technical, and as to which I am disposed to think the defendant's acts were not wilful. I refuse the application to commit him to jail. There will be no costs to either party on the application." Note the reference to tlie possibility of the company's witnesses being mistaken. This point is important as it cnlains thoroughly the reason that, after everything pointed towards the committal of Lavenne to jail, he was finally dismissed. Looked at from the standpoint of our Comrade Lavenne as an individual, the dismissal of lho case,was tricky. But the dismissal of Ihe ease" vlewod as an incident in the great' fight for emancipation of the workers 's merely a postponement--a truce for the. time being; The fight will come on heavier and'hotter thnn ever ln the near future. Meantime the Springhiil comrades arc* going right ahead with the fight.

Every, person living on June lst will be entered on the schedule of population by name, as member of a family, institution or household, together with place of habitation, sex, relationship to head.of the family or household, and whether single, married, widowed, divorced or legally separated. The month of birth, year of birth and age at lust birthday will also be recorded. Entries will be made for each person to show the country or place of birth, yoar of immigration.to Canada, if born* elsewhere, year of naturalization if formerly an alien, and also racial or tribal origin, nationality and religion. Every person of alien birth who has become a naturalized citizen is a Canadian by nationality; and every British subject, with residence, in Canada,"as well as every native of Canada who lias acquired citizenship by birth , or naturalization, Is also a Canadian by nationality. But there is no Canadian by racial or tribal origin, unless the Indians are so counted. , .... Every person having an occupation or trade will be entered for it, but if employed in the census year, at some other occupation for ■ part or whole time he will be so recorded also. If the person is'working on own account, the entry will be so made. An entry is also required -to be made showing where the person is employed, as, on farm, iir woolen mill, at foundry shop, in drug store, etc. Wage-earners ,are entered to show the number of weeks employed in 1910 at chief occupation or trade; at other than chief occupation if any; the hours of working time per'week at chief occupation, or at other. occupation if any; the total earnings in 1910 at chief occupation; the' total earnings at other than-chief occupation; and the rate per hour when employed by the hour. Entries are required, to be made, for, each <person' showing the- amount of insurance held at date of the census upon life, as well as against ac- _ ident_or_Ric.knessr_togeiher—with-the- cost of such insurance in the census year. ,' " - . Under" the heading of education and language records \>?ill be taken for every person of five years of age and over showing the number of months at school in 1910, and'if-the person can read and write? and the language commonly spoken by oach person. The cost of education ln 1910 for persons over 1G years of "age at "col- lege,o convent, or "university Is also called for, ' The last question on the schedule of population relates to Infirmities, It calls for a record of each person having nn infirmity. If blind,*- denf and dumb, crazy or lunatic, Idiotic or silly, a record thereof will be made In tho proper column,* and the nge nt which tho Infirmity nppeared is required to bo specified. The feeling of ease which conies with* the possession of a bank-book is something not lo be despised—no matter what your position or prospects. A bank account eliminates worry and care—onuses you to feel that you have something to fall back upon in an Instance of emergency. One Dollar will start an account. J. R.

L. M'CONNELL, "County Judge." LATROBE, Pa., July 23—A permit lo attend a funeral, that is the latest favor of a_ court to a "group of workingmen.. No, not class justice, sinipl;.- corporation justice. This most remarkable document was issued by Judge McConnell, of "Westmoreland ,, county, on the '7th of this month. Here is the unique and infamous story: John Campbell, a miner, died, and some of his fellow miners wished to • attend his funeral in a body, but among them wore some strikers, and they'were under injunction not to do certain things. The injunction was so , far-reaching that tlio funeral procession could not walk on, the public highway until ji written order had been secured from thc court. Three American flags were-carried • in the funeral procession, and when passing Jamison ' Mine No. 2, Tom . Jamison, backed by 20 deputy sheriffs, ordered tho marchers to low- ,er the flags. Of course to avoid trouble the flags were lowered. „ , This in,so-called free America! * The permit issued by Judge McConnell reads: "In re-injunction of* Jamison Coal -and Coke company vs. the United Mine Workers of America. ' "By the court: . McConnell's Gracious Permit. "It having been represented to,the • court that- John Campbell, whose home was at Jamison Mine No. 2, in a house belonging to the plaintiff company lia_, in his lifetime belonged to Local Union 2-I, Osage, and that the members of the defendant union are desirous ,of attending "his funeral in a body as a mark of respect to a deceased brother. "In view of the request accompanying • the foregoing representation, it is hereby certified in advance of such attendance that if ,the s defendants shall observe the proper decorum ap- FIGHT FIRES OR GO TO JAIL. Be cause he refused to leave a $3 50 a day job for a day to -fight forest fires, when called upon by ■ a deputy state fire warden, Charles Simon of North, Bend is sewing' 10 days in the county jail at Seattle, being the first man ever imprisoned for that offense in this country. .The state law provides that upon an emergency call from a deputy fire warden, any citizen may be called, upon to help fight a dangerous fire. ' The ,,Wasb- ington Forest Fire association is more active this, year than ever before in its fight against destructive forest fires. CRIMINALS AMD RELIGIONS. John Burns, discussing the religion, of convicts, said that "statistics 'show that Church of England predominated. One might regard this as somewhat of a dubious compliment, but when asked for an explanation replied: "Three "services Sunday and excellent hymns." He furthermore stated that if "Lead, Kindly Light" was being sung in Pentonville prison thero were many four _unc*j loaves of bread passed from one* prisoner who did not ■want ir, to another whom he thought wanted it more than himself.". "As this is not accounted for we are at a loss, vhere the connection is between "lead, light and bread" whether lhe bread ■ is passed because it is light or like lead, therefore we consider that Brother Burns is" not explicit enough.
