PURSUING FEDERENKO It is reported - tha*" Join A Kii*l>y. president of the Naiionsil Association of Manufacturers, 'coleb.il •id as a union eater,'is to "be sued for $10*-,00p by President Lynch, of lhe Intoriia'tion- al Typographical Union. The suit is said to-be div.Kert against Kirby by Lynch personally. The details, so far, have not, been learned. Klrby's . latest attack on organized labor was made recently whon the called „labor leaders 'tarantulas," declared the Los Angeles Times was destroyed by criminal labor unionism and asserted that dynamite and bludgeons are not the only weapons employed by the American Federation of labor. The goods were not as advertised at the" moring session of the National Association of' Manufacturers. . Senator Nelson W. Aldrich did not. speak. He was billed to speak ln explanation of his patent panic extinguisher, but sent in word that his throat was very sore, making It impossible to appear He said he might possible come around and utter a few well chosen remarks in the afternoon. '■ * With Aldrich' eliminated, the features of the sesion became these: . ' "Colonel" Anthony Ittner, of St. Louis, declared that any business man who would sign a.closed shop agreement with a labor, union ought to have his place blown up with dynamite,-or some equally expansive .explosive. A remark along those lines would put a labor unionist in jail in the piping times of.Taft and kidnapping, but the "Colonel" banged the board and spoke right out in meeting. He was mad, or appeared to be, and the way he waved the flag and the free-born- Americari citizen stuff was a shame when you come to hear that he didn't get a hand on those passages. You understand this was the second day of the convention and'the very best American flags get frayed in time. Croker^Blames Capitalists , ' Ittner said he had been ih business fifty-two years, and bad not'been ""un der. the domination vof a labor,, union for a single hour, during thaj; period. - ""TireTftfierTearaTe":was'. expire "Chief" Edward F. Croker. Croker told the manufacturers'that the employers of labor made it impossible to get adequate fire protection in New York City'., and that'the Triangle fire horror made him sick and ready to quit after twenty-seven years ln the service.! Croker spoke but" a few minutes and then called for questions. ■ , 7 o • , The questions put to Croker were of a rather perfunctory nature, and his replies wero right to the point, fre quently being .omposed of one word, "Yes," or "No," Croker1'said": * "I- have -'found that employers are very neglectful; of* the lives of their employees.* They are all after 'Die,' almighty dollar, and the safeguarding,bf human; life is of minor importance to them. 7 "'„,.•' "I hold the belief that "factories should be safeguard*ed against the dangers of fire' at least as well, as are places of amusement/ /The men and women who work go into factories because .they are forced to do lt, and should be'protected by every possible means against losing their lives in fires Persons go to theatres and other places because they want to, yet we find that they are much better protected against the dangers of fires." Croker Keeps. Cool • - * One of the sub-enptalns of industry asked Croker if he did not think that in factories where fire drills were practiced persons were, in the habit of set- ••i'.j* th. to" tho place insl to see tl*e em ployes march but. Honest, he did.; Did you ever scan the jaw of Croker It's the kind of jaw which keeps wheeling slowly around like a big gun ln a turret, like it was looking for somebody looking for trouble? When' the captain of industry rid his* soul of that piercing query Croker's .chin came" around unlil tbft industrial'captain was looking -.might down thu barrel ot it. 'Never heard of such a thing until now," ho said, ■ .7 Then the chin went out ra'*j*i find ing and everybody felt that' something foolish had happened., . , » N Croker said when he reported a building to be a fire trap the Corporation Council of the city began' proceedings, sometimes, and then it-took perhaps two years before the case came to trial, no change being made in the fire ,trap meanwhile. A, .little beam of * celestial intelligence penetrated the Waldorf-Astoria when Croker insisted that every building should be thoroughly and regularly inspected by the proper officials. A fat little German 'manufacturer, who seemed out of place in that place, got up and began to talk like Joe Weber. Except for the .Toe Weber part this is what he said:.* Five Dollar Bill Joke ' , "Inspectors!''he blurted; .'hafthert of inspectors since I can remember.

The men may do this at the present juncture, but sooner or later force of circumstances will compel them either to make drastic changes in .their laws or else decide that their observance,.is tantamount to industrial suicide, hence in a struggle where their very existence is jeopardized, adherence to formulas will be ignored.. - - _ These world-wide conflicts should convince,the most "sceptical and dullest of comprehension .'that there is a wide diversity of interests between buyers', and sellers, hence the former -will do all they can to purchase in'the. cheapest market, therefore, divested of all metaphysical'blarney'about'the inalienable rights .(!) of the individual, in plaiii language the open shop,spells unit bargaining, a most desirable consummation to be worked for by" the buyers, on the other hand,,the seller also knowing there is strength in numbers,- band together, to obtain for the individual by collective bargaining the best possible price in wages for his wares.

A wagon load of Black Magic" rum- '., bles slowly along and unimaginative . passers-by do not even turn their heads They would' see in it merely a load of coals as if that lessened the won- , -der of the fact that each lump contains a force potent enough, if released, to raise, its weight a "sheer two -thousand miles above the earth's surface against the pull of gravitation. ,Or to put it in another way, a lump of one pound, smalled than.a man's fist, would equal the full day's work of a heavy draught horse, or would do as.much work in one minute as could twenty-six hundred strong men, or would move a heavy train of eight cars Including sleepers a distance, of 880 feet. Even as it is, the trolley cars are whizzing past with their tons of hu- ' man freight.' and, tracing , back the ■ power which propels them, it is found at last in the lumps of coal burning beneath the boilers of the power house. • The electric lights begin to twinkle and each -successive globe or bulb tells its individual tale of similar lumps. So do the gas lights, although the process is,.dissimlar. while, the heat! of the radiators and the speed of the elevators' lie also in that wagokload. Nor is this half the story. The dinner anticipated by each, of tlie busy passers-by is now cooking upon stoves which fejed from such a- wagon..their ' clothes were woven upon power looms .- dependent iiponlt.".

It does not need to be in any such proportions^ have hitherto obtained, unless the'buyer pays.the lower price of an inferior grade. How is he to discriminate?' ' Not by the appearance for even an expert, can Judge very little by eye alone. . Here are two specimens of, common anthracite differing little In looks, and yet one of them contains'forty-one per cent of ash and the other but nine per cent—to state an extreme case. In other words' the latter contains 1820 pounds of combustible fuel to every ton and the former but 1180 pounds Here then 'are two grades sold at the same price, looking substantially alike, yet ono of them exceeding the other in' full value by more than fifty per cent. Furthermore,' the poorer coal produces four and one-half times the bulk, in ashes of the better, meaning. corresponding trouble and expense In handling, together with greater wear upon the fire-grate aiid a more frequent stoking of'the fire. To say that a consumer . must pay the same price for both grades seems almost as absurd as for him to;pay a uniform price per acre for land without reference to its location or character, and yet while tho example cited is extreme, it and irs lesser Variations are the every, day facts of the ocal' trade.. How 'then is lie to discriminate? By scientific tests. - Samples are taken from various parts of the coal pile, heaped together, mixed and "quartered,' i.e., separated in four divisions by a shovel drawn in one direction and then a cross direction. One of these quarters - is * lie dismay which attended the progress of 'the great, coal fjtriker-=~ But now comes a curious fact.17 This substance of infinite importance, affecting the daily life .of every man, woman'and,child in the United,States, is bought with less intelligence by its consumers than is almost any other commodity of commerce. Can a man be 'imagined buying stocks without ,in- • quiring what the stocks represent, or 'a housekeeper ordering a basketful of groceries and not seeking to learn the "Dw ' again mixed and again quartered until •nil—sjuhic-i .ontentSTor _ ng-nasKC-cr thlng'ratlier like this takes, place when j the average,buyer exchanges his cash] for-a.ton of-coal. Coal is coal he thinks—and sometimes it isn't! Ten or twelve years ago the government commenced to investigate facts which had long been known to' science and soon dry chemical formulas, translated into the popular language of dollars ancl cents took on new life and Interest. The government accordingly ceased buying coal as conl nnd begun .to"-buy it as heat, Next some concerns In -Baltimore followed suit and from ths-? tho Idea spread to certain largo consumers In New York, Chicago and other cities. "But ideas spread •slowly against lilimnn Inertia.'Chicago has Indeed npplled.t to a largo'proportion of her pints.' but other cities nrd more.buckward and the,indlvldunl householder has not ln gonornl ovon honrd of such a thing. Buying coal as'heat; means buying conl upon analysis which la nn utterly foreign thought to nlnoty-nlno out of a hundred citizens, nnd yet it probably a small but representative sample of the entire pile is secured, which is 'thereupon thoroughly pulverized. In' this condition u quart jar full of black flour whicli may stand'for many tons of coal, passes beneath, the determining fingers of scietu-e. First a carefully measured portion, is placed in a small crucible over a powerful^ l-'un- sen flame ancj, is 'speedily', reduced to a pinch* of ash,, pearl gray, golden l)ro__vn__canary yellow.', terra-cotta. or .The difference ^between* a successful business and an unsuccessful business may often lie* in the coal bill and a manufacturer who has studied the problems of. labor, of improved machinery office systems,, etc., often partially realizes this to the* extent of experimenting with various combustion; devices, without attacking the still more' vital question of the coal itself. - '• Mr.'W. S, Gould, New York, a leading authority on the subject, in conversation with the writer cited the instance of one large plant which decided to' secure a laboratory test of Its fuel and discovered thaWt ran as high as forty-one per cent of incombustlbles. Complaint was made to the dealer, who repeated the complaint to the mine operator and the result,was seen In the next shipment, tested, tho proportion of ash being reduced to,fifteen per cent, at which point It has been',kept by frequent tests ever since. As tbe plant in question consumes" about 70.- 000 tons a year ,such a7 saving of twenty-six per cent. in" fuel value ho!s been equal to a total of 1S.200 tons, which at $2.50 a ton* would amount to $45,000. ' 7 .. ! * '-*. "■ A saving of $45,000 in a single year in a single commodity, is hardly negligible in any plant. . The' delinquency in this case was' an exceptional o_\e.. but it is claimed tint any consumer should be able to save at Jeast len per cent on the commercial run oi (.•'.al when purchased upon the .heat basis. ,'-. . 'The need for such remedy is partly chargeable to the caipj'.ssues.-. on the part of the operator nnd dealer which the-.unsuspecting .credulity of the purchaser is apt to encourage, and partly to a deliberate purpose to take an extra profit. Coal men not uncommonly work',in from ten per cent to twenty per cent of slate and one of them*,naively entered the claim that fourteen !per cent was allowable. Had his customer paid fourteen per cent pf the coal- bill witli -counterfeit money his view' of privilege plight' have changed,'"for slate is not an inherent part of coal ash and many be mechanically separated, at. the mine.

On March 18 last, the subject was the controlling proprietor of the Globe, Robert Jaffray. Co-operators .will be interested tcf know that Robert learnt tho grocery trade in Edinburgh. - When o he reached man's estate, he migrated' to Canada' In- that he Was wise. The period ,--.** *- was the inception of the great economic awakening.of the common people of Scotland." -The' toiling workers were beginning to realize that they might themselves just'as well distribute;; by Co-operative effort, the necessaries7of, life as to allow, a small army of unnecessary distributors to tax them, for ■tire—convenience.' The-"profitsu7sav*r ■od would buy more slioes for little Duncan, better-clothing for Angus, and- nice dreskes for Mary.' They would, too, • provide the * means , of a much , * / _ needed rest andxharige of air for the 'guld iwfe.' Pianos and better educational opportunities could thereby be furnished for the youth. ' Working- men would, too,'bo able to accumulate something for the inevitable rainy day or Bickness iri the family and keep the hungry'wolf from'the, dooi*. -" ' - " Since Robert Jaffray left Edinburgh millions of dollars have been saved by co-operiition to the tolling workors of tho Scottish cnpltal. If. Robert were to return' to Edinburgh to-day he would probably find that tho grocery trade the great St.* Ciithboft's Co-op* oratlve Society has "not got is not worth'having. It not only feeds 200,* 000-*of the'-citizens of Edinburgh, but It IS'siipDorted by the best'of the population, tho thrifty, self-respecting, sober, and intelligent section of the work- Ing people. 1 . . * ' Robert Jaffray, on his arrival In Canada, started on his own account, as a grocer, on Yonge Street, Toronto. Ho Is "Bhrowd and gonial,' so Saturday Night Informs UB.-Just tho two qualities necessary to the making of tho millionaire distributor.

Our"corite,mporary is good enough to inform a curious and interested.wbrld that "no other Senator in Ottawa can pack pork in the old-fashioned way like Robert Jaffray.'

Title | The District Ledger |
Publisher | Fernie, B.C. : J.W. Bennett |
Date Issued | 1911-06-03 |
Description | The Nakusp Ledge was published in Nakusp, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, from October 1893 to December 1894. The paper was subsequently published as the Ledge both in New Denver, from December 1894 to December 1904, and in Fernie, from January to August 1905. The Ledge was published by Robert Thornton Lowery, a prolific newspaper publisher, editor, and printer who was also widely acclaimed for his skill as a writer. After moving to Fernie, the paper continued to be published under variant titles, including the Fernie Ledger and the District Ledger, from August 1905 to August 1919. |
