Act.ot.thIsi "Province is compelled once, a month to:make an inspection of the mines in the District for which he- is appointed. -' There is also the mine foreman who has to make* an inspection. "' Then again, there are the fire bosses, who have to make an examination of the mines on each shift, so that in our opinion' these per-, sons should have come in for the same recommendation'. However, we can hardly .blame the jury as there was hot one •' practical or competent person, according to the Mines Act, on .the jury. ■'' But it seems to us that in future* a jury empanelled to enquire into ,a mining accident should have at least In its numbers one or two competent men. We would also like to see Part 86; Section 7 of the Coal Mines-Regulation Act carried out by the coroner in the. future, and ' furthermore we were more than surprised when the Coroner (Mr. A. C. Murray, .Elk River), after instructing the jury as to their.duties, suggested; (mind you, and yet there had been no evidence given or touched upon the matter) that possibly deceased had a' defective foot, and probably owing to that," that was the cause-of the accident. -\ -> .

Minimum Rules for Durham A report issued to the various affiliated associations by the Miners' Federation of Great Britain' contains counsel's opinion on the Durham district rules under the Minimum Wage Act, which rules are not unlike the rules of other counties. Counsel was Mr. John Sankey. Some of tho Durham rules or parts of them are, he says, ultra vires, and therefore cannot be enforced at law. Under the rules a hewer is expected to.give immediate notice of difficulties in a working place which prevents him earning the minimum wage, but counsel states that failure to give notice in such a contingency is' not in the Act, and the rule which imposes it is outside the Act and illegal. He holds that it is outside the Act to exclude any person from the benefits of the minimum wage by reason of his not having been employed previously as a coal hewer. In the North of England and in other parts, rules lay it down that a hewer is not entitled to the minimum wage until he has been three months employed at hewing work. ■ Other men employed underground ■ are not entitled to the minimum until they have been in the pit four weeks. Counsel rules that both conditions are ultra vires. As to rules being retrospective coun- *sel considers that the true position of the Act is that the "wages rates and the rules are mutually dependent on one another and are both retrospective, _-and_aannot_be_snlit_up_s_o_as_t_o_make_ cussed at the annual conference of the Miners'Federation, at Swansea in October. : The position of the surface workers will be, considered, and an application will be made for the establish ment of a minimum wage. What the rate will be remains to be decided, but it is anticipated that it will be about $1.25-per day. The establish- ing of a working week of' five days will also be considered. It Ib explained that the liberty which colliers have hitherto enjoyed in regard to attendance at work haB been restricted by the Minimum Wage Act. Many of the awards under, the act condition a certain percentage of attendance at work to entitle -the miners to claim the minimum, wage. Generally speaking, eighty per cent of the total possible'attendance at work is required by the awards, though in a few cases a full attendance is necessary to qualify for the minimum wage. On an average only four and a half days per week are worked by the miners, and it is expected therefore, that there will be a great deal of general support for a definite five days working week. A proposal of far-reaching importance is the advocacy of a twenty per cent advance in wages for all workmen employed in mines. So far as the federated area is concerned, this would mean, if adopted the absolute abandonment of the conciliation scheme. Under the conciliation board agreement the min*- er3 in the federated area of the Lancashire, Cheshire, Derbyshire, North Wales and the Midland counties can only ask for a five per cent increase, An application for such an advance has been sent in from .the area, and' was discussed several times at meetings of the conciliation board in London. The opinion was expressed that the twenty per cent proposal would not meet with such support as would secure its adoption, though 'it might have strong support from the Scottish miners, the South Wales and the men of Durham and Northumberland. There is no doubt tha^ wherever the operations of tho Minimum Wage Act have not given satisfactory results to the miners that the proposal will find a great deal of support. Other mat ters to be dealt with by the conference include the nationalization of the' mines, the National Insurance Act. .and the Workmen's Compensation, Act: • It is expected that Mr.. Robert-Smillie, president of the Scottish' section, who the rates date from one point bf time and the rules from another. This conclusion counsel came to with great hesitation, but he certainly considers it the strict technical construction of the Act. <> i ' Miners' Strike In the North One thousand miners who struck work a fortnight ago without the, sanction of their Assocation's Executive held a mass meeting on Friday, at which Messrs. Straker and Cairns, lead ing officials of the Union, spoke. Both stated that the Soghill men acted unconstitutionally, but that they deeply . sympathized with the men's position, believing thoy had ground for dissatisfaction in'tho management's alleged refusal to consider thoir grievances. They adversely criticized tho alleged refusal of tho managers to carry out tho award of tho umpire under the Minimum Wago Act, After the meeting Mr. Straker Informed a press representative that he was certain it would be a prolonged strugglo, and added that the men would be support- by otbor lodgcB, Tho reason for tho cautious attitude of tho Union officials was probably to bo found In the recent circular on finance^ Issued to the Lodges, In which it was stated that the Association's funds were so low tbat no stoppage of work at any colliery could be financially supported by tho Union.

Wages of Colliery Surfacemen An agreement has been reached between the National Federation of Colliery Surface Workers and Coal Owners' Association whereby some 8000* surface workers obtained increased wages and"*a reduction of working hours. A minimum of $1.12 a day was demanded for the lowest grade of workers. The agreement provides for a minimum of $1.05 per day, with $1.21 for firemen and $1.28 for charge- men. The exclusion of the surface workors from the operation of the Minin.um Wage Act has been arranged that tho wages of bankamen and acroeners shall rise or fall as miners' wagos are raised or lowered by the conciliation boards.

Surfacemen's Grievances A largely attended meeting of the colliery Burface workers, at Barnsley, decided upon drastic action in order to deal with non-associated collieries, where the managements have refused to conform to a new schedule of wages agreed upon between the Surfacemen's Federation and the Coal Owners' Federation .- The agreement specifies a minimum 'rate of wage of 4s. 2%d. a day, with a graduated- scale for the various classes of surface work- e-> Many .of the _<o.i-issociau.d collieries are alleged to have decl.ned to recognize the new rates, and the meeting, at which there were representatives of the Unions ,of the winding enginemen and firemen, decided that a ballot should be taken at these,collieries on the question of immediately handing in notices. The men employ-- ed at collieries, where the schedule is recognized - and in operation also pledged themselves to give "moral and financial support" should a strike take place. - i Cleveland Miners' Wages A 'meeting of the Cleveland mine owners and the miners' representa-' tives was-held at Middlesborough,-Sir Hugh Bell presiding, to consider an application on behalf of the men for an advance of t3d. per day, in the rate paid to face deputies and' for' a substantial advance on the base rates paid tb all. surface men and lads at the Cleveland mines.'

With most of them Instead of having some property, some property has them. The Anti-Socialists are too timid to openly defend the rule of capital, so they'roust appear as the friends of labor. I defy any one to name a single instance where the Socialist representative has neglected to represent or to defend the interests' of labor, neither bave I neglected my duties as a raem- ber of this district. I have held more p .bile meetings in my' dls'.rict than any other three members have in theirs. I have respondei to every request regarding"1 roads, bridges, schools, etc., and as compared with other districts I have been fairly successful. ' ■ The Liberals used to say that the Industrial development in Canada was due to their administration;, the Conservatives said it was the act of Providence. The Liberals replied that Providence knew whom to select- to administer prosperity. Experience' has . proved that the Anti-Socialists are, to put it mildly, mistaken when they ..say "to elect a Socialist' is to frighten capital from the district.','' There has-been far more industrial development in the Rocky Mountain district in the last three and a, half years than in. the neighboring districts of B.C. where they elected.Anti-Socialists to defend the rule of- capital. I do not wish to imply that,the industrial development in the Rocky Mountain district is the result of having a- Socialist member, but, having., a; Socialist member has not prevented industrial development. As long as. capital rules it will be invested' can any-wneT$"\vnere—profir be made'.out of wage slaves. •The Anti-Socialists'accuse-us Socialists of desiring to retard human progress. Again, it is a case of them accusing us of .what they are guilty of themselves-r-the thief shouting "Stop thief!", We Socialists never retard the development of capitalism, on the contrary, we,do all wo can to speed it on its way to Socialism. ,It is they who try, as far as they can, to retard the onward march , so as to prolong their rule, I hope these few arguments will Induce some who have not studied Socialism to do so.

How, he aBked, waB compulsory, arbitration to be imposed They would not Imprison",a body of employers or' workmen for breaking an award, and 1/t they were to fine, they could not fine Individually,, but collectively; only that would mean that tbey would have to ask for, substantial deposits. Employers knew that to; withdraw from $250,000 to $500,000 from their business was a serious matter, and workmen equally knew that if they withdrew .$100,000 from trade union funds it'was a serious matter. They had thus to insist on deposits which were not substantial, or substantial deposits which would cripple the" en'- ergy of both of the employers and the employed, and after all they would get nothing from the unorganized employers and workmen. The strong unlonB would never agree to such an arrangement.,' "I,-would advise them,'.', said Macdonaid, "to keep out of compulsory arbitration",-and, if necessary,- to adopt a policy of passive resistance. We must .have a minimum wage, but yet not regard it as something fixed all round to every trade and district." , They laid out a town not Jong ago at Fort Fraser, British Columbia.

Burnett & Lang Geriera_-Dealers—_-r->---^- Quality Goods -and- Living Prices Dry Goods, Boots, Shoes' Me^!s;Furni>shings - Mr. Thome's address from the chatr _ at the Trade Unions Congress -raug with a militant, self-reliant note. He referred at once to "the wage earners' revolt*' of the past year. 7 - The miners be urged to insist on the full recognition not merely of a minimum wage, but of a minimum living wage, and congratulated them on the campaign they are conducting in favor of nationalization of mines. 'Lord Davenport's Peerage He was very much to the point in a passing sentence devoted to Lord Davenport. "It seems to me," he said, "that the qualifications most recognized by both Tory and Liberal Governments for a peerage is the payment of huge^sums Into the political fighting funds to maintain and uphold the privileges of the propertied classes." ' As to the attitude of the Government, Mr. Thome remarked, "I have taken part in many industrial disputes and strikes during the past 23 years, but I cannot recall a strike where the forces of the Government were so obviously used to'defeat the workers as was the case, in London during the recent transport workers' dispute. In every, way possible the police helped the blacklegs and owners." The labor unrest will not cease. Mr. Thome promised, until the present social inequalities are removed. We want a better distribution of wealth. Today the amount received by the workers' Is much less in proportion to, the total wealth production than ever it was. At about the time when the first Trade Unions Congress- was held in' Manchester in 1869, the annual-• wealth production was about 800 millions sterling, -and the amount received by the workers was about 400 millions, or just half. Last year the total wealth production was about 2,000 millions, and the amount received. by the Wage earners was not more' than* about 800 millions, which ' is much less than one-h-flf. Lot us consider income tax statistics The gross assessment for income lax in 1894-5 was'657- millions; in __)11- labor will meet it with all the opposition possible. Trade Unions do not want strikes, but we will not give up the right to choose tbe weapons we desire to adopt to",win for our members better economic and industrial conditions." The Osborne judgment was'described as unsatisfactory, since it in no way concedes the right to Trade Unions to use their own money in their own way.-' Political Action Essential Mr. Thome.spoke out splendidly on the need for political action. His argument is worth giving in full.— The present outcry against the Trade Unions in regard to political action, engineered by a section of the Capitalist Press, only proves how fearful' the governing classes are of the growth of political class consciousness among the workers. They know better than large numbers of the workers seem to realize that once the working, class scientifically organize both on the industrial and political field the sooner' the domination of landlord and capitalist in social and political life comes to an end. We must therefore perfect i our organization, and be prepared to fight with all the forces at our command against any attempt to limit our industrial and political activities. ' ' . Why should we leave the propertied classes the full control of the'political machinery, and the full force of the Army and Navy behind them, to use in the interest.of their own class, as they have 'done in the past, and are doing in the present? By taking part in politics we shall leani that no nation lives to itself alone, ljut that we must understand the international relations, and must understand our position as members of a great International Working Class _ Movement, which will put an end to the foolish policy of spending at least one-half of sentlal things and works them for its own benefit the sooner will .they come into the possession of those to whom they justly belong. Individual owner- ship of tbe means of livelihood has resulted in the economic enslavement of a large portion of Society—the working class. ' It has given to the classes the power to exploit the labor force of the masses: it has al6o made them masters of political power, by means of which they. maintain the system and perpetuate their, domination over tbeir fellows. I quite recognize the. hugeness of the task. ' But the workers have' the power if they have the will, although it may take many years to bring about these objects. If the sting of present poverty with the 3read of worse poverty,in the near future and recollections of It in the past, cannot rouse the workers to action, pen and tongue will not do it. Freedom will mean Btruggle and sacrifice, which, though hard for tbe few to sustain .will be light enough for each when all are ready and willing to Bhare It. The workers know tbis already, and it now.remains to be acted upon. THE G, U.

Such a fair Is being organized by the Women's Freedom Leaguer, to' be held.'in the Chelsea Town Hall, on November 13,' 14,15 and.16, and suffragists of all persuasions and women of all nations are asked to co-operate with it to bring about this much to be desired result. . At this fair women of other nations will tell of the woman movement in their own country. There you will see dances of all nations and international poster parades; there you will be able to .buy international cooking recipes, international calendars, international literature, and international Christmas presents."; Strenuous efforts are being made to "render the whole atmosphere ' so international Conditions on the G. T. P. seem to be growing worse.' The men on Btrike ■ ■ i i are standing steadfast The reasons for the strike are many and varied, the principal ones being higher wages, good food, more reasonable charges for materials they are forced tb pury chase from the company stores, as well as seeking to lessen the death foil of the deadly Fraser River rapids. The Edmonton Daily Capital, dealing with the matter editorially, says: The Terrible Tragedies' of the Fraeer Canyon . Evidence continues to pile up that the Fraser River canyon, between the head of steel and Fort George, has been tbe scene of a most shocking and callous sacrifice of. human life. If there ls one-tenth truth In the stories which come down from rail-head there ls necessity for a most searching Investigation and reason' for someone somewhere Jn the big trap set for labor In that country to suffer a severe penalty. The story told Is so shocking as to be almost incredible in a civilized country. Men by the hundreds are taken into the Fraser valley to work on construction. Arrived there, they discover that there is no money in it for them, that the charge for fare, the cost of clothing and supplies, the deductions on one count and another and j the lost time makes it Impossible for. them to lay up any saving worthy of the name for the (....icon's work. They look r.round for _ vay to get out. Up Hie river are the construction company Loats oh which t^ey must pay i.i i (r.ts a mile, if they r.ave that much monoy.- Without' the money they cannot ride. Beyond aire the construction company's trains and camps' at Which they know they will not be fed, money or no money. Down the river lies the rapids.. It fs the only way, and they take the chance.- The number drowned in the Farser Canyon this year .has been variously estimated at from twenty-five, to fifty. Men who ha've'no interest iu exaggerating, state definitely and without reservation that at least twenty-five bodies have been found, and men who have been in Edmonton claim tliat they have actually witnessed tragedies upon the river. Down in Montreal, Collingwood Schrieber is still talking about the shortage of labor hampering tbe work of construction. t _ .- Surely there is * something monstrously wrong here which needs attention by whatever authority such mat ters should come under. Even from a purely mercenary point of. view, Edmonton cannot * afford to have <this thing continue. So long as men know that if they go to the BVaser they may be sent down the river to their death there will be the shortage of labor which Collingwood Schrieber talks about, and the day when. this city will be connected up with the Pacific Coast will be just that much delayed. But thlstmercenary consideration is secondary. The commonest sentiments of humanitarianism demand that this terrible tragedy be brought to an end. ■ This is borne out by the statements of Mr,. I. E. Haight, a partner In the _ t'.r'm of Haight, Lodge and Mangnall, of Fort eGorge. Mr. Haight is a mining engineer, thoroughly conversant with conditions in the camps, and bis statements come from personal knowledge: < Only men of long experience on the Fraser can afford to take thc risk of going down the rapids by raft, and oven to them the voyage Is a race with drcth. But the laborers become reckless of consequences.. Determined to leave the camps, unable to afford the charges of from 10 to 15 cents a mile on the steamboats of Foley,' Welch and Stewart, and the cost of food on tne voyage at 75 cents a meal, they1 seek to make their way. down.stream' to Fort George and thence to the Pacific coast. These men don't understand anything about the whirlpools ' and the different waters, .and the' treachery of the rapids. Sonie of Uipui attempt to go down the river by night They make their rafts, get out, and frequently never are heard of again'. Sometimes they get stuck on the rocks, and onco in that position it is almost impossible for them, to get off again. The strength of the current is too strong for them to push off. If a man is once in the water, it is all over. that7it, will'make for sympathy with and comprehension of those who, though differing - in speech and _custo_ms.far_e_--.comrades-al____in_.aim-arnd_ . Tlie Lance, a Toronto labor journal, says that "the Ontario government has finally decided to make a move-with regard to the eight-hour day for miners. Samuel Price, government .mining, commissioner, has, been,, instructed to go north and make a thorough investigation of the whole question, reporting to the legislature in time for the next,session. It will be remembered sisters of.the same great human family. Practical demonstrations of cookery will be given by prominent suffragists each evening, and it is intended'to make a specialty of articles for boys and^men; "I can't find a thing for my men folk"' shall not be a complaint at the International Suffrage Fair. / ■ ' epial-BanLotCanada CUTE, MR.

"\A7^IE^T a inan Soes to look for a job he knows "" . as a rule the average wage that is paid in that particular industry, therefore, if he is, say for instance, a carpenter and the price is 40 cents an hour, he does not say "I want sixty cents an _ hour, ''*' because,, that would be foolish,, but let us ask why it is foolish? Simply because he is aware that the man to whom he is Applying will not give more than the market price. „ Ask tlie carpenter "Why don't you ask sixty cents an hour?" and very likely he -/will reply something .after this style: "Do you think I would pay sixty cents a dozen for fresh eggs in.a store when right next door they are selling them for forty cents?" This is a logical argument and worthy of a little closer study. ' _ , If a seller he does not expect to, get more than forty cents,-in like manner, as a, buyer, he, dries not see tlie wisdom of paying more than forty cents, then lie should reach the conclusion that in 'both eases there is a commodity involved. As a carpenter he is a'seller of a commodity that is his ability to perform certain functions, viz., to build houses, stores, woodsheds etc. As a buyer of eggs he is obtaining- other commodities to be used for the purpose of supplying,food to give him the strength to prevent his own commodity from ' perishing. . This explanation should be easy enough to grasp. That is to say that tliat which the carpenter lias to sell is a ennmodity just the same as the eggs which he !..iys. We do not think.it can be more clearly explained. Tell the.carpenter that he is like the case in which eggs are packed the only difference that he moves the case. (i.e. his body) about and probably he will get angry at the comparison, shout about being a free-born British subject, or having a1 "precious soul to save," or some other equally irrelevant' statement. The question is not where he .was born or how he was born, or whether he believes in a hereafter/or not, but-are- the statements made UNTRUE, and'if true it must follow that the comparison is. not an unfair one. Angry words or burking the issue will not' alter tice of sabotage'-and any'other* means that-may. suggest itself to hamper and pWer the'masters as much as possible'. ■ The latter "recognizes that .by such means the goal can never be reached; that ' y. I 1 -v * * t it * the slaves can always be beaten .back/by the-.arm- ed men'who are paid and kept by the, capitalists for such purposes, aud consequently until the control of the militia,1, army, and navy and. police can be obtained I. W. W. methods are useless. Socialists, therefore, claim that the only way to obtain such control is by and through the ballot: All the little guerilla strikes the 1. W. AV. organize are but' a waste of energy—energy which could be better utilized by their organizers in: educating the men they come in contract with how to vote intelligently: We are afraid we are straying somewhat from the subject we started out with; but as the paper we are,, desirous of putting right is none other than the Industrial Worker, the official organ of the I. W. AV., the remarks as above may not be. out of place. " ft ■ In a recent issue of that journal there appeared an article under the heading "Tlie'Paint Creek Miners," which does not contain "the whole truth and nothing but the, truth." The paragraph which is utterly false, although Ave shall be charitable and believe it was unconsciously so, is where it says—"The revolt is not only against thc guards nnd the strikebreakers, but against craft union officials as well. The strikers refused' to abide by ii contract entered into by well-fed officials. They remained on strike after different officials ,had compromised with the mine owners." To members of the U. M. AV. of A. and others who hav.s the slightest knowledge of the struggle in AVest Virginia the statement, quoted is absurd. It°is well known that the fight, is primarily, and practically solely, for the recognition of the union. The men, backed by the U. M. AV. of A. are putting up' an heroic fight and recognize that this is one which will ^decide - whether they shall continue ' to be -.downtrodden, and accept what the operators will be pleased to dole out to them,- or whether West Virginia will become a closed shop. The miners have implicit faith in- the officials of the International Union and look to them for their redemption. It seems incredible.that the I. AV. AV. writer did not know these-facts, but then there are many tilings in this world which it is difficult to under-' stand. " . • KILUNG OF, CITIZENS ATV ' :"V ' '■'." " ALANTA ROUSES'.

A statement'written by Vincent and oral statements by him, were to the effect that, he knew he w'ascdying "and that .he had been assassinated - without cause. It was brought out by rarious witnesses at the trial that Vincent frequently had discussed his disbelief in God. Th© evidence of his atheism was introduced to discredit thq, value of his dying statement. Efforts were made to bring out at cthe murder trial that the $30,000 ac- cldent policies carried by Vincent contained the clause that he was not entitled to the money In case of death due to a quarrel which he had pro7 voked.

Pollution of i^ir by use of!;; Coal May Destroy Race By 1950 it Will Be All Over, According to Professor Ludwig Pietch.-^World Kept ih Happy Ignorance of Danger by Nature's Equilibrium BALTIMORE, October 7.—By 1950 it will all be over. Our social problems will be solved. There will be' nothing in economics to worry us. Political ambitions and misdeeds will bo no more. And all this because we will all be dead! That's "assuming that a certain Professor Ludwig Pietch is Tight and we keep on doing as we now are doing. Just what Pietch thinks he has learned is told by Dr. Leonard K. Hlrshberg of, Johns Hopkins. Professor Pietch's investigations, according to Dr. Hlrshberg, shows that the air we breathe has, through artificial means, principally the use of coal, become charged to an alarming extent with carbon dioxide, which If the increase continues, will bring ' about the destruction of tbe race. Tbis i9 Dr. Hlrshberg's explanation of Professor Pietch's startling deductions. "The air we breathe is made up of nitrogen and small. amounts bf car bonic acid, niton, helium and other rare "gases. Although you and your children are taught about carbonic acid in school, how flowers and vege^ tables breathe it in. and use it for their health, and how man and animals exhale it and find it to be a dangerous poison .still practically no great amount of attention is paid, to it. "Carbonic acid, as you remember from your schoolbooks, 1b present dn the atmosphere, fortunateVj. In such minute quantities that 10,000 gallons of air contain only four gallons of the carbon compound. ,, A Wonderful Compound _ "Although present In these relatively absurd amounts it is far more powerful in its activities than any other constituent of the atmosphere excepting only, and with some doubt, oxygen Itself. -It is truly without denial the most powerful compound in the air about us. Without its presence in one part oxygen, fourtimes as much the percentages found plant life would The Frank Wine & Spirit Co.

At the same time if it occurred in proportions ex^ssivo, of those found, it would become danger- oub to man and animal life, •" ,' "With the.destruction-1 ot forests;, treesj shrubbery and plant life gener* ally, which ia going, on apace hand in ham. with industrial excesses,.there is less .absorption of carbonby tlie.vege- table world, and more manufacturing of it by man. Timber chopping and deforestation also release considerable pent up carbonic gas from' the soil, while simultaneously removing the greatest source of fresli oxygen. This fact was not'even considered by the late Kelvin when he said: "The' hu- man race Is threatened with Inevitable destruction and in a very short time, for we are taking la onr forward industrial march the vital organ of the air and uniting it with solids from which it cannot be abstracted by the vegetable world.* Points out Danger "By the year 1950, only one generation in tho near future, possibly 50- odd thousand millions of tons of coal will havo been changed into the poisonous acid gas and belched forth into the air' our children will be breathing. Will they and the other living, but lowlier creatures be able to survive the toxic effepts?* Will the human race survive the year of grace 1950?" One nice comforting thought in this connection Is that the human. race has survived a good many dire happenings that didn't happen. "In plain English, then,", animal life Is absolutely dependent upon the vegetable world. Plants, in turn, owe their lives to the occurrence of carbon dioxide in the air. If, then,'the modicum of the carbon molecules, the four one, hundredths of one per cent, of carbonic acid now found in the atmosphere, were to escape, be lost, be imprisoned or* otherwise destroyed, all life on earth-would become extinct, mankind would disappear • from the face of the globe.. . "On the other hand, if the carbon dioxide were to be increased but an infinitesimal amount all higher forms of life such 'as man, elephants, monkeys, camels, horses, dogs, roses, carnations, flowering plants and air-breathing animals would be quickly annihilated, for the gas in such proportions would be a fatal poison to the lungs, heart and liy ing tissues, generally. In Happy Ignorance • "Nature's wonderful equilibrium, the curious balance maintained by a higher power between the breathing out of carbon' dioxide by apimals and the breathing-it in by plants, hitherto kept the human/race in happy ignorance of the danger 'which surrounds- us. The delicate' equivalent of the oxygen ex- | haled by the vegetable world and the oxygen-inlmlecl^by-n-an-and-his-brute- bfoth'ers has been until now exactly equal to the reverse respiration bf carbonic' u'cid. "As a result during the last decade of ithe strides of urban civilization strange results have come into play. "Professor Pietch, a former student of Johns Hopkins University, showed that the exquisite balance sustained for thousands of centuries by Nature lias been disturbed,, Processes of an artificial kind, the handiwork of man and his human agencies, are' threatening to kill us. In brief, our very inventions, the veritable acts of harnessing physical nature, are destined to work such havoc with the human race thill'the Tower of Babel, tho Titanic and mul Quebec bridge,will be as Bro- bdlgnaglnn catastrophles beside those about to befall the human race, if. Professor Pietch's discoveries are nub- stan tinted'. "The professor hns discovered the Imminent faet t'lint the carbon dlo'xldo has Increased from above three to a fraction abovo four one hundredths of a por cent, In tho i-tmonphorc of tho isolated' country towns, while In tho cities il is woll abovo four one hundredths ,of a per cent., closely np- pronoliliiR lho fatal poisoning proportion.

La societa -umana.jdaH'orlglne sua, ando' sempre mutaiidosi « ancor oggi si muta sotto i nostri occhi. Non molto fa i re.erano qua si onnipotenti. ora anch'escii contano poco; i-padroni facevan treaiare i lbro:servi; bra'de- vono discutere da pari a. pari. ■ t B' la democratizzazione sociale che e na- ta e cresce, e la voce della poyera gente, prima timlda, che ora s'ingros- sa e alle volte dlventa tuoiio nelle cose della societa presente. Tutto questo non eavvenuto d'un colpo, ma gradualmente, per quel pro- cesso che sta hell'anlma di tutte le cose in natura e che si chlama evolu- zione. Anche il reBto verra per evoluzlo ne. E questa evoluzlone, dagli sfor zi um- ani, concedtamo, potra eBsere affret- tata, ma giammai -arrestata. Lo societa umana e come una barca che scende sulla corrente dl un flume. En- tro la barca ri sono due rematori: 11 proletariato e II capltallsmo. II proletariato col remo assei-onda la corrente; il capltallsmo 1'onado dlsperato cprato per spingere la barca a monte. Tra questa lotta vie e la.corrente che decide e le barca scende, scende al suo destine Ma scende verso-il soclalismo? - Ecco il problema. Se per.soclalismo intendiamo de mo- crazia industrlale ossia uguaglianza per tutti nei diritti economic!, non vi e dubbio l'evoluziohe della societa' si muove verso 11 soclalismo. Cio' che prima eravprivilegio individual e va ma- nmano diventando privilegio pubbllco ossia ditutti. Clo' che prima era te- nacemente proprieta privata, tenu to come torchiello alcollo del popolo 'per spremere ricchezze dovette essere ab- bandonato nelle . ma ni del popolo per l'uso di tutti. E cio,' fu quando divenne cosa^estremainente insopport- abile che tali privilegi economic! restas sero in'potere di uno o di. pochi uo" mini. , ■ Cosi le1 vie, i ponti, l'acqua, la luce ecc. gradualmente, per.impellenti .ne- ces'sila sociali, dovettero passare dallo stato- di proprieta pubblica. • Uguali necessita esociali ogni giorno forzano dl questi trapassi e ne preparano altri. In questo fenomeno evolutivo nessun paese ecosigravido di profondl ed-im-. dare In grazia che'sla loro permesso.di usare le macchine e la terra!"' II prodotto del lavoro viene poi di- viso tra l'operaio che lo produce e il capltalista che non fa mai nien te per prod-trio. _..•.- ■. ' * Perche la mano d'opera e sempre i_o- vrabbondante, la competizione tra la- voratore e lavoratore riduce il salarlo ad un livello di fame e miseria. Con- seguentemente iriavoratore ottlene ap- pena abbastanza per mantenere se e la sua famlglia tanto per non morir dl fame. . , . It capltalista prende per se tutto il resto.. I lavoratori pero' cercano di migliorare le loro condizloni organlz- zandosi nelle unioni di mestiere. Essi vogliono il plu' che possono ottenere, essi seutono che indistlntamente hanno dirltto al tutto. Ma se i lavoratori ottengono di piu' 1 capitalist! dovranno avere di meno, e I capltallsti vogliono an che loro tutto cio' che possono ottenere, senza punto rlflettere che non banno dirltto a nulla. Anche essi dunque sl organizzano in association! dl padroni e al- leanze clttatline per reslstere cosl alle domande degli operal organizzati. ' E qui allora sl formano le schlere. I lavoratori da una parte che domandano salarl migliori e meno ore di lavoro; clo' necessita di dividend! piu' piccoli per lor signori Dall'altra parte I padroni, che vogliono dividend! plu',. gran- di; cio' necessita piccoli salarl e lun- ghe ore di lavoro per gli operai. Tutto cio' non sembra che possa in- dicare che gli interessi dei padroni slano identic! a quell! degli operai. - La sola identita che sia mai abile a scoprire tra capitale e lavoro'e illus- trata dalla seguente storiella:. •' Un ladro, una volta introdottosl nella casa di un avaro non pote per quanto cercasse, trovare il tesoro dell'ava- ro. Cosii penso' di domandarlo all' avaro stesso. Entrato nella stanza da Ietto dove costui dormiva lo sveglio' e piintandogli il- suo revolver alia, ten> pia gli disse: Ora," amico mio, dimmi dove hai nascosto il tuo'gruzzolo, e ri- corda bene che e nell'interesse tuo ed anche nel'miiTche io lo trovi. >- — Come'e cio'? domando' l'avaro. — Egli e perche se nonlo trovo ris- pose il ladro, io ti brucero' le cei-vella.

INCREASE WEIGHT OF GOLD DOLLAR Congress of the French Confederation of . Labor On September 16 there opened at Havre, France, the twelfth bi-annual congress of the Confederation General du Travail. Between 200 and 300 delegates ' assembled ln the salle Franklin, representing practically every trade and profession ln France. Representatives were also present, It is interesting to note, from almost 400,000 organized Government servants, Including the-militant Syndicat of teachers, who are at present under order of suppression, The first day's work was chiefly spent discussing the reports ot the hist two years, a procedure which demonstrated with convincing explicit- nes8 that tho C.G.T. Is making strong headway as a fighting working class army. The membership, which In 1904 was only 200,000, has ln eight years more than doubled that figure. In France, moreover, the ' actual paying members constitute only about two- thirds, often even less, of the revolutionary workers who can always bo counted upon for effective action, but who for reasons best known to the Gallic temperament, allow their subscriptions to lapse., The C.G.T. counts Lrlque Proposal Made, by Yale Professor for Solving High Cost of Living Problem Its - reliable adherents.r: therefore,'; al over 600,000. These are divided at\ft the present time into 55 national syndicate's comprising 2,837 local bran-; ches throughout industrial France. Iii. 1910 there were 57 national unions, and 3,012 locals, but the subsequent diminution may be more than acco-tn.-'. ted for by the campaign of linking np. which has been assiduously going on in the interval. , The finances of the C.G.T. may be said to be administerel on the principle of "the leas money, the more agitation." The French Trade Unions' distrust of big bank balances appears characteristically in the fact* that the total receipts of the C.G.T. during the past 24 months, the sum of only $32,000 has been disbursed practically as fast as lt came in. The expenses, indeed, so far exceed this income as to cut down the cash on. hand in 1910, $2,000, to a little oyer 1650. Meanwhile, however, an admin-: Istratlve system of the smoothest, local autonomy of any Trade Union. organization In the world, as well as the most adaptable and representor- tive central comriiittee, has carried on a period of ceaseles and extraordln-. urlly effective agitation. From June, 1910, to June, 1912, the, C.G.T. has been Involved in 2,340 strikes, of .which 335 have been complete victories for the men, 900 have been substantially partial victories, 897 have lost, and the remainder have resulted ambiguously.

Polish 80CYALNA DEMOKRACYA NIEMIEC BOSTON, Mass., Oct 7 -An international conference to consider a remedy for the increasing cost of living was advocated before the International Chamber of Commerce today by Professor Irving Fisher, of Yale University. Prof." Fisher suggested that the weight of the gold dollar should be increased enough to restore some of its lost purchasing power. A revision of letter postage rates and other postal reforms were favored by the congress. The convention adopted <a report on the subject presented by Dr. Alfred Georg, of Geneva, Switzerland, and voted to have the permanent committee bring the matter to. the attention of the next conference .of the Universal Postal Union at Madrid'in May, 1913. . Several delegates, . including Hugo Manes, of Berlin; Bernard J. Shonlger of -Paris;'"A.

Exhibit "H" Fernie, B.C., September 26th, 1912 Mr. Clement Stubbs, President District 18, 'U, M; W.,ofA,, Bellevue, Alta,: . . .Dear Sir,—Your communication of tho 28rd inst, received. Replying thereto I beff to express my utter surprise at your persistent effort to contro- vert the meaning of the Agreement mado between District 18 of the United Mine Workers of America and .tho Western Coal, Operators' Association, November 17th, 1911. ' To this Agreement' 6u'r Company contributed; ;you also took an active part in finally bringing about a gonoral wage settlement between the two Associations. Tho Contract prices arrived at for this Company's mines aro stated in the Agreomont to bo as follows: Miohol Colliery No, 3 Mino Mining rato 57% oents por gross ton, Yardage Levels and Parallels, $1.75 per lineal yard, Cross-outs botweon Lovols, $1,75 por lineal yard, Room OroBs-outs, no traoks, 50 oonts por lineal yard, New No. 3 Mine ■ Bamo prlco as No, 3 Mine shown abovo, YuU will Ot-ici'V'c IiU.il lho luivguii-tt 111... iWu is no mention in this contraot scale for paying yard, ago on rooms, On page No, 1 of tho Agroom&nt referring to tho Ml ** *t #>• i»M ft ** n fl tl 4 AT MllMft 1-1* <\ JnifCn _■_ I ** •• fl f* Ml rt 1« i » . iMuiVi_*(j,v4.4*v*fcw v* uUh^ (fUv vubuati ^mwCm «>uw Uiuii* agomont of mino and tho direction of working forces exclusively in tho company's hands, which implies that tho Company has tho right to organ- iso such methods of working as thoy may doom ox- pediont for the safo and propor conduct of tho operations so long as they pay the prices herein get forth for rooms, or wide places, and what is term. od narrow work or levels driven for permanent roadways. Theso conditions havo boon fully com. pliod with, undor the terms of the Agreement, by our Company. ^e-contention for yardage'you are urging is purely room work, or wide work places, which we collider, an attempt to destroy or abrogate the price conditions of the. Agreement subscribed to byVourself after long weeks of contention, which implies that you ask us to consent or become a contributory party to the annulment of the terms ahd'prices set forth in the Agreement, which we cannot do. For the purpose, of giving you more light on the subject I will offer the following annotations,, No. 3 Mine, Michel is and has been paying the highest average cost per ton on yardage of any of the mines in the District.' I might further- say that our employees in New No, 3 Mine, under the .present sys-, torn of working, are making the highest average wages that have ever been made at the Company's properties, In view of the whole circumstances we are at a loss to understand why this organization should be singled out and askod to pay narrow work yardage prices for rooms or wide, places other than that specified in tho Agrooment and designated by engineering plans of mine, Thoro would bo just as muoh consistency in this company,asking th,eir employees to drive narrow slopes and heading levels without yardage,, Whilo wo aro anxious to do all wo can for the interests, comfort and wolfaro of all the employees that earn thoir living at this1 work, wo do not oxpect to. havo unjust and impossible, conditions, forced upon us, . This continued agitation, X may say, is retarding tho growth and inorease of employment at Miohel; for if suoh is to bo the continuod polioy thore is going to bo little oncouragomont for tho full restoration of a groater progrosslvo polioy in tho camp, I'gather from your letter that you intend to stimulate furthor agitation on tho subjeot. I rogrot this, for, if such is dono, a legal aspect may eventually arise out of tho annulment or violation of the con-, tract Agreement that will reflect upon yourself nm. tin* nr<rntn\7.ttt\nrt nnriimttlyr Our claim In that thore in tit. dtapute on the im- pliod torms ombodlcd in tho Agrooment; purely an effort on the part of someone to force this,Company to pay yard work for wido places, something that in not mentioned in the Aprreement, I hopo, theroforo, Mr. Stubbs, you will take,the just or broader view of tho situation and see that the Agreement is not infringod upon or violated, and that, at least, reasonable justice, is done this Company by your organisation and self. You cannot afford to participate in wago contract arrango- metits on whtfth large communities are dependent and then oarolessly soo your own prestige and honor violated by innovations irrevalent to the obligations taken.
