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. Powell and Vice President-C. Stubbs of District IS, U. M.
W. of A'., also President A. Roy of
■ the Bartenders' Union.
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.

■ prone to neglect their unions in'favor

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,

- 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

The interference of.the Crown, in
his opinion, was unwarranted in.this
case,- and had * a union man been the
victim instead of a non-union man

the authorities would never have been
witnessed:'    >.  ■
He was, glad to'.be able to tell the
delegates of -such ah important body
as the Trades . and - Labor Council
and through them "such a large number of union men about this great injustice, and he hoped that if support
was needed the union men of Lethbridge would respond.   ,
President Powell upon taking his
seat'was loudly applauded.
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

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. Branch sliaftB will then bo

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-

After one of the longest .strikes on
record, covering over five years,
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of, Labor,'stated
that hereafter the Duel-: stoves would
be made by union men throughout. It'
was for disobeying an injunction not
to make any reference ,to tli If? * institution that Gompers, Mitchell and
Morrison wero, brought up before the
courts resulting from the publication
of an article in the American Fed-
eralionisl of the tabooed subject. It
is claimed that Van Cleave, who was
the head and front in this fight died
prematurely consequent upon the
great strain he was under while fighting wliat he dubbed thc "muscle

THE DI8TRICT LEDGER, FERNIE,    B. 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.

♦ All miners are requested to ♦
♦ stay away from Irwin, Madison, fa

_>■ county, where a strike has beeri*^
♦ in effect since April 1, 1910, the ♦
.♦.coal companies having refused ♦
♦ to recognize    the    miners' or- ♦

♦ - ♦
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.

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

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

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.   .

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

The   fire .brigade" had . a   hurryup
call to the rubbish heap at the east

to be "complimented on their prompt

.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.
Mrs.' Sherwood- -presented * Robert
with another yoimg lady upon whom
he can shower*,.his affection in the
shape of a beautiful daughter.,
. The cobblers and seamstresses
should be kept busy as the nails in
the sidewalks .have a nasty, way of
lifting -.up ■ their . heads high.' enough
to catch one "trippingly on the hoof"
or make an insertion in the hem of a
skirt that is-not conducive to sweetening the. temper. We don't believe
in "knocking," but* this is an exception and would suggest* that a pounding on the head of these obstreperous
foot-and clothes, destroyers, would be
in good order. Council please note.

THE BURNING QUESTION.
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

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.

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. Tho destruction of snoiVHlieils,

This is the time of'the, year when philanthropically
inclined people are* begging for funds for "Fresh Air.
trips" "excursions for the little ones," etc. We do not
wish to be understood as deprecating these proofs of
human sentiment because without it life .would sink
into a dreary waste arid mankind' become a deadened
mass. So those desirous of aiding in the uplift of
humanity not satisfied w'ith tlie mere giving of alms,
would urgo tliat they make a deep study of social problems to the end that the source of' all evils be laid bare
and efforts employed to cleanse the body politic instead of merely applying,- palliatives that not only are
without permanency, but only result in the prolongation of the disease. "
, Whilst, writing we have before us a sketch taken
from a Toronto, paper showing a huge crowd of
youngsters emerging from a building over the door of
which is a tablet marked, "Slumland"; standing at-the
right is the proverbial fairy* with a circlet, emblazoned
"Hope" surmounted by a star upon her head and smilingly she points with her wand to the wide-eyed group of
slumland's .prisoners, the verdant meadows ,all flower
decked, the flowing stream, the gamboling lambs, all
make an alluring piclurcof an earthly .paradise to these
denizens of distress and want.
The title below is:   ,.
"Give the Youngsters a Holiday",
with the following appeal following:,
Mr. Citizen, you enjoy your summer vacation, don't
you? What of the hundreds of,children who are doomed
to spend 0the hot days in dusty sun-baked streets and
alleys? The Salvation Army has established a fresh
air camp near- Clarkson's, Ont. A big garden is at the
disposal of the Army, and there is an .-.abundance of
fresh vegetables and fresh milk at the disposal of the
children. To give a few hundred youngsters a two
weeks' outing will cost $1,000 only.* Your subscription
will be .gratefully received by Commissioner Coombs at
our headquarters, "Albert and James streets.' '__•	
* You who reiterate the catch-penny phrases of everybody has an equal chance in this country" must be
obtuse indeed if you fail to note the tone of pessimism
contained in this appeal. • "Doomed to spend then hot
days, etc."' "True and 'tis pity 'tis'true," but-why! why!
That is the question. If. conscience be stilled by the
giving of, a few paltry dollars and conceit makes you
swell with pride.as having done something worthy .of
praise, take another look at yourself ancl boo the
hideous mask of smug complacency grinning through
the aureole surmounted beatific visage you credit yourself with possessing. . *■ -,
On the other hand If coiisclonco be not completely
warped and reason's dictates entirely smothered then
the wish to know if dull fatalism shall over hold sway
or.surely thero must be somo escnpo from poverty's
thraldom there is hope. "The poor you havo always
with you," may bo a soporific, yet this doos,not excuse
apathy. Thoso' sterotypod utterances do not mark
finality nnd again tho Invostlgntor enriiest lo do something whilst recognizing tho'existence of poverty buckling on his nrmor and nnx'louB to combnt all evils will
manfully, exclnlm ".Re that ns lt may I'll do all I can
that they shall nol nhvnys be with us nnd I musi. find
a means to dam up the slough of despond,"   ,

COAL  CREEK* BY  174
♦ .<-»*
♦ ♦
[r
. 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

.. District President Powell, Secretary
Carter,and Secretary D. Rees went
into No.-3 mine np here on .Thursday: Th1sTnine""IsTio^l)eing worked'
on the* long  'wall    system and'the
supply.    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. As to the defense they
cannot be given too much praise and
their equal will bo hard to find "ln
this league. ,

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, *

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.    Tliey are becoming "red"  and  are beginning to
understand   that   whichever  way   tho
strike may go—whatever   the   result
in individual-cases—there is only one
way to fight' capital successfully—by
the   intelligent   use   of   the   ballot.—

"This application is':lo'commit the
defendant for a wilful violation of the
order of the court mado heroin on the
I4th day of May, 1910.
Tho   most   serious   charge   against
the defendant is that since the service
of the order a body of strikers large
in numbers  assemble  and  beset tlie
company's workmen on tlieir way. to
and from work—a   distinctly   illegal
pipceeding—and. that   defendant has
taken part in such assemblies, By his
affidavit the defendant denies that he
was ono of thc number forming such
"assemblies.. I did not regard his denial in his first, affidavit0 as a specific
denial that he formed one of tho systematic  parades,  but by  a  supplementary affidavit which I gave him
leave to file, he lias definitely denied
thaU-since—the—ser-vice-of—the--order
upon him he has    been    upon    the

Heavily, ' ,. .
NEWCASTLE, Eng„ July 23— The
strike of the employes on the Northeastern railroad is fast demoralizing

The disorganization of traffic means *
ruin to many shippers.
In addition, to Iho 12,000 men who
are out, it was estimated today that
fully 50,000 workers in the collieries,
shipyards,    iron    works    and   other
"plants ' have   .been .rendered    idle
through tlie inability of thc companies
to move their products.   The loss of

, Morrison,' le secretaire national de
la Federation Americainedu Travail,
announce pour la tieme fols que
plusieurs * candidats au Congres
seront' battus aux prochaines elections
par les membres de son union.    ,,,
Morrison est in. de ces unionistes
qui combat la politique de classe des
socialistes 'et veut obtenir'' des refor-
mes ouvriercs en elisant des amis (?)
des ouvriers sur les listes capltalistes.
Cette sorte le politique ne peut
avoir' d'autres resultats que de pro-
longer la vje du capitalisme tout, en
fournissant des" bonnes sinecures a
quelques membres de l'Union:
Pendant des annees ces individus,
dont la plupart." "se -disent plus ou
moins anarchistes, ont combattu la
politique honnete et-desinteresseedes
socialistes en pretendant que la politique causerait** des - desaccords dans
les unions.. Depuis quelques annees,
voyant qu'ils ne pouvaiont ainsi mettre
arret au progres dumouvement sociallste, ils ont adopt© un autre moyen
"punir.ses ennemis et recompenser
ses amis" et essaient de falre elire
des politiciens membres d'unions sur
les listes capltalistes.
, Nous connaissons -ces messieurs!
aujourd'hui comme heir'ils travaillent
dans l'interet du regime capitaliste et
veulent tenir les ouvriers dlvises sur
le, terrain politique comme Us les ont
tenu divises sur le terrain eebnomique
avec leurs milliers d'unions de metiers
"priino zabajitrboj proti,^burzoasii a

■ Population will be recorded. under
the heads of "residence, and personal
description;* citizenship, nationality
and religion; profession, occupation
and trade or" means of living; wage-
earnings -and insurance; education
and language spoken, and infirmities.
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.

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.

FARM LANDS.
MacLeod, Alberta',' is situated on thc south bank,
of tho Old Man river, and lias a population of
2,500.        ' ,  '       ■     "
A'constant stream of new settlers is flowing in
with lho nrriynl of every, train, and arc locating
'in the city and on thc fertile lands in the immediate vicinity.
LOCATION AND POPULATION.
The surrounding lands produce the highest
grade of wheat grown in Canada. Tho whole
district, which, until recently hnd barely been
scratched, is fast being put under cultivation, and
bids fair to soon become thc wealthiest*, grain producing center in Western Canada.
ELEVATORS.
Five elevators and the largest grain cleaning
plant, in Western Camilla makes this a grain shipping point of first importance.
HOSPITALS AND SCHOOLS.
Tlio nit;* of MacLeod is building u municipal hospital nt n cost of $.1(1,000, an addition to llio
school having just been completed nt a cost of
$ir),()()0, thus placing lho city in the front rank
from tin educational nnd medical standpoint,
CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY.
.Miii-U-ml, ut the present moment, is a railway
I'i'iiti-r of gt't'iit importance, licing a divisional point,
mi the main line of (lie Crow's .Vest Pass, and the
icrniiiiUH bf tlio Calgary and Kdmonton Railway.
It is one of the largest distributing points in thc
Norili west, only 600 less caw having paw-icd through
llll* Alllt'idUMU >III»ii» MM ,>»<«*  ihuu IiiIimi-,11 x..„B..*j.
Large additions arc being made lu freight and
p-i.sM-Tigcr depots to iu-fomiiuidat-.' tlw fust growing traffic.
*^i\- mill"*** uf iidiiitioiiiil tnii'kii-.re is now being laid
iu their aNteiiHiv. yards which, when completed,
will mul-:*.' them about the largest in tlio went.
Fifty thousand dollars is now being expended
increasing thc capacity of thoir roundhouse.
Thc completion of the Kootenay Central'Rail- .
way will  no doubt see nil freight shipped via
tho Crow's Nest Pass instead of tho main' line, ■
which means a further increase in thc number of
freight crews, dispatchers " and ' trainmen; who
make MacLeod thoir homo.
THE PAYROLL.
The Canadian Pacific railway monthly payroll
at MacLeod is an important factor and is incroas-'
ing overy month.
CANADIAN NORTHERN RAILWAY.
Tho Canadian Northern railway has completed
its survoy into the town and has. secured seven
blocks of land from tho city for station iind yard
purpose*-*.
A grant has heen made by the Alborta government, on condition that the lino from Calgary to

pOHOU,
AMERICAN RAILWAYS.
Two American railways nre showing considerable activity in tho immediate district nnd there is
no doubt that in a Hhort spaco of time they will
ho heading llirough MacLeod to tho busy centers
of Alberta and Saskatchewan. ''
The iiiiiiicnso nut imil resources ol Die district,
and inoro especially lhe wonderful coal deposits
of the Crow's Nest Valley are some of tlio reasons
for the railroad activity in this district.
WHOLESALE DISTRIBUTING CENTER.
Wholesale stocks are carried .to supply the
towns^o the west on tlie main lino of the Crow's
Nest Pass, and 'io thc north oii tlie Calgary and
Edmonton railways, * the favorable distributing
freight rates making it a point of importance, it
being confidently expected that in tho, near future it will become a wholesale center fully capablo
of supplying the needs of Southern Alberta and
thc Crow's Nest Valley.
BANKS.
Four chartored banks arc located here,'a fifth
having nbout completed arrnngemonts to open for
business, positive proof of the stability of thc city
nnd district.
