The successors of the Dunsmuir crowd are. the, Mackenzie and-Mann people, and from the' following, it is evident that they intend to keep up the,unsavory reputation of-their, predecessors. '. - On May 23-Jast, a miner named ,WiI. Ham Logan was killed in No. 5 mine,' Cumberland, B? C, by-a fall-of rock. The verdict of the jury at the Inquest was' "accidentardeata?" .He left-behind'him-a .widow about 30 years of "age, a girl about ^years' and'a boy-of.6 years. ; . Mrs.'Logap, since]the death of her husband,-' is .without means of support, and with the .object' of ^securing some compensation for the loss' of her husband, she went to the company's office in - Cumberland and, was there received by: Mr.*-I_ockhar_,' the local superintendent, and .Mr. J. W Clinton, the cashier. -These two"officials, who must do, their utmost to keep down expenses in order -toehold their jobs, would not consent to a representative of the, Miners1 Union* being present with. Mrs. Logan at , the interview. They told her that- she had no.claim upon' them whatever/, but that' they would let. her occupy a.. four-room house in the village bf Cumberland, rent free, so that she could, sublet to boarders, that _ portion of. thb house which _.he did riot need for the accommodation bf herself and family ..The commodious nature , of their offer would he more fitting?for the accom- ffiQdation"of~tneir70wn~"stoo._T5r7!en7 erosity than for? boarders"? ?y . , • However, during-the course of the Interview, these officials were informed by Mrs. Logah?that the local doctor.had told her, she "must go,, as early as possible to the Old Country in order ^that she might be operated- upon hy. a skilled surgeon. Then our friends were carried away by a flood of charitable feeling, and in the momentary weakness of'their sympathy they .offered to pay for her a third- class, fare, and .that of her children to the Old Country. ,. They also said they would make hereon allpwance until sho had recovered.'', At tho same tlmo they thoughtfully omitted to stato any amount or to offer any guarantee that thoy would pay anything,' ' Haying thus opened the floodgates of Charity thoy recommended hor to go home and think about it and call again tho noxt day. ,' Meanwhilo, the officials of District 28, United Mlno Workors of Amorica, of which William Logan was a mom. bor,' wore cnrofully following tho at- tompt to forco this poor widow' to sign away hor legal right to compensation, nnd on'tholr ndvlco, Mrs. Logan has refused to accept, tho wretched offov, mndo to,,hor by tho compnny, ,!'r ■ [ At tho final Interview tho officials told her that tho U.

',' MONTH'S LABOR DIS- PUtpj||lNADA Fourteen Strikes in SS FRUIT GROWERS PLEASED , - ELKO, Bi C, July 24.—A daily mall' service for Elko,has-now been put iri operation by the , Great, Northern in competition with "a similar-service of the C. P.* R. in effect for some time past. This move of the Great North. era is regarded, as-a timely recognition of the increasing Importance of the district as a production and distributing centre for a wide extent of territory. - Situated as it is within 18 miles of-Fernie, and only 155 miles west of Lethbridge, besides.being in the heart of a rich fruit growing and mining' region, Elko has recently attracted widespread atentlon on the part of capitalists and investors, who have been chiefly impressed with pre. sent rapid increase in values through; out the district. - - Elko fruit growers express - special satisfaction with the move of the railway officials. Fruit farming arid- market gardening have been greatly stimulated , in recent weeks by the arrival of a large number of fruit growers, from West Kootenay "and the United States. The fact that "the, district'is-served by three lines of railway, is proving a strong drawing card; while it.is also pointed out-that'the Elko fruit growing dis. trict, is- in, closer • proximity- to the best, Alberta markets than any of the other'..producing districts of British Columbia. .

' THE PANAMA CANAL AND THE COAL TRADE .. There is considerable speculation us to what effect, if any, the opening of the Panama Canal will have upon .our coal industry. That the productive capacity of our coal mines far exceeds the., consumption, is too well known to require discussion here, arid it is the opinion of many of those well inform, ed on the situation that the opening * of the canal will be a'large"contributing factor, toward providing a market for this excess-iiroduction.* It is certainly reasonable to believe that the development of our merchant marine would materially Increase our foreign coal trade, and undoubtedly- the opening of the canal will witness a substantial Increase, in this service, not only as regards the.foreign trade, but the coastwise as well. It- is almost -impossible to conceive the enormous changes in established channel of traffic, which must necessarily follow the, opening of the canal. These changes can only be toward the United States, or closely contiguous territories, and will present unlimited opportunities for establishing coaling stations to market, our product. '" The United States is now supplying about nine million long tons per an. num for' bunkerage purposes, while Great Britain is furnishing about 20 million to vessels Pin the foreign trade and 2% million to those in the coastwise trade. Thus the two greatest coal- producing countries of the world are supplying' over , 30 million tons "directly for bunkering. Since we are by far the largest producer in the world',"and with our position strengthened by an intimate connection with this new sea highway,,it seems hut natural that we should supply the greater proportion. of this tonnage "The opportunity afforded the producing companies for entering into competition for this trade ' will ho' doubt be eagerly grasped, but in do. ing so, they should not lose sight of the possibility of developing coaling stations as before mentioned. " • To what extent the coastwise trade will be "developed by the' opening of the canal is still in some doubt,' but close students of economic conditions are agreed that the changes which will be effected in the present transportation routes will be enormous. In fact, it is believed that these changes may be sor great that they will make serious Inroads on the business of the transcontinental railroads. A further probable change in 'traffic conditions will be that on inland waterways especially those emptying directly into the ocean, as the development of the coastwise trade will materially stimulate traffic on these natural highways. Thus the Mississippi River, even at the present time an important factor in the transportation of coal, will' with the advent of this new,, trade, probably double or treble,its present tonnage. The opening of the canal will doubt.* less find many coaling stations established on both the. Atlantic and Pacific Coasts, convenient for coaling vessels in these trades. . Care must be exercised in the selection of, the location of .these stations to insure that they not only -be placed at the, most convenient points for the vessels requiring them, but most advantageously, to the producing fields' as .well.— Coal Age. to .checkweighmah. * At, the age,of 17 he*' joined' the N North „ Staff or dshire( Miners' Association,. of ;*'a ' lodge' of which he subsequently became treas. urer. and .five years "later, in-1877,he was appointed secretary of tne association. -*.

The chief .interest of the fifteenth Abstract of Labor Statistics for,the' United "Kingdom lies in the evidence 'which it affords that the increase in the .cost of living and the rise of prices'are continuing. • The figures given* " for, wholesale prices show .that 109.3 cents were 'required-in London "-'to buy the same quantity-of,-articles ' wholesale" that could be'obtained'for, 100 in 1900, or for 88.2 . ih.. 1896.. Thus in ,the last fifteen "yea,rs>, prices and' the cost; of living;generally'have advanced,25 per cent?. •.What'cost 12 cents *in 1896, costs'15 cents in 1911; oi*, to put it in another way, rather more .than one dollar tby an invisible process was deducted from every 5 dollars'- wages paid. \ . j ,, , ; in "foodstuffs the rise in prices? has been remarkable. 113.4 cents were renuired.-in 1911' tn bnv ' the Rnnia quantity of' foreign .corn that .-could have' been, bought for 80.3. in' 1894.' Potatoes and rice have'altered ^little jn price in recent years, but the'ad., vance..in the price of hops has been more than 100 per cent. In 1911161.^ cents .would only buy the same quantity, that could have been purchased for 71.3 in 1896.' Beef and' mutton have,changed but slightly in price;' bacon and eggs, however, have soared.* Bacon ■ touched its lowest figure in 1896, when 82.7 cents would buy that quantity for- which 142.3 .had, to-be paid,In 1911. Eggs were at' their lowest'in 1897, when 96,9 cents would buy1 as many as 130.4 ln 1911. Taking the figures for the wholesale prices of the chief, articles consumed by man.,'in this country thoy were as follows: • . 1896 (lowest recorded) ..,. 88,2 1900'.?. 100.0 ' 1905 ...A, 97.0' 1909 _.....' 104.0 1910 ..,.'.' 108.7 1911 ), 100.3 - The Board of Trade flguros -stop with 1911. But from the calculations published by Sauerbeck, tho statistician, St is known that the rise In prices has continued at nn oven moro disquieting rato during tho present year. Thus what 80 centB would buy In'1911 cost In May this year 86.3, a further advanco during the five months of nearly 8 por cont,' Thus It ls certain that the cost of living has risen since 1890 by about ono-thlrd, so that four dollars today only, buys what could bo obtained for throo dollars In 1890. Thnt wngos havo not kept pace with tho advance In tho cost of living Is shown by tho Board of Trado figures, Where 89.9 conts woro paid to tho workor lu T80I1, tho yoar of the lowest avpriigo prlcoH, In 1911 100.il wero pnld.

Socialists respectfully offer .these reasons, among others, for. believing that undor/Socialism; the people.would be able-to control their government. Another reason Is,that, under Social.

' "A"'' . ■ phrase sacred, . to ' capitalism about "free competition" ineffective as far as the working class is' concerned. For the workingmen' there can he no free competition, such as is * greatly injurious to the interests of the worker, and the trade unions have apparently put Marx's theory into practice. *_* tam** Much criticism has been _ directed against tlie workingmen for being tho first' to break with the principle of "free competition" which for so long a time has been part of the capitalist creed, but soon the reason became apparent why tlie capitalistic w.orld was so angry; by constant preaching and advocating free competition the capi- talists believed they could weaken organized labor, "disrupt their organizations and then by organizing themselves make the defeat of the workingmen complete. ' - ., ' , Because, the trade/union fs endeavoring to establish a standard working time and a standard wage, the organization of the "workingmen was demagogically declared to be an unwarrant- •3d restriction . of personal freedom',- while, on the' other -hand the very same demagogues took refuge in organizing;- they found that organization was necessary to be in a position to fix prices for all commodities and otherwise take care of their interests unhampered and undisturbed by any outside'influence, ' The workingmen, who combined in trade unions for the purpose to fight for standard wages and working conditions' do nothing else-but ,try- to gain exactly what trusts'and other capital' combinations are endeavoring to gain for themselves./'But in the same degree as. the trade unions succeeded, criticism against labor organizations "as 'a "restriction of personal freedom"- became stronger.* ' '- ,, ?^ 7* ": * - .'* ■ ■* *'~ * ' * , The road from'free competition to organization was/not an easy one to' travel.', A great'amount of educational* work had to.be'done. But having finally, succeeded,' that' work has not been done - in "yain, ,,.as the working class has, been greatly benefited by tlieir .organization's. .The doctrine of free competition originated, during the early times of, capitalism. Having freed itself from oppressive feudalism, capitalism? proclaimed unrestricted' freedom its gospel; above all freedom of competition.- Everybody for himself! That became the fundamental doctrine of the new era of capitalism; let everybody enrich himself as much as he can at the expense of others,-no matter how many human beings were being ruined. '-The oppression of feudalism which had been a burden to all People alike had,-, to give way to the capitalist freedom of "the ' individual. -The capitalists declared that for the workingmen also, who could and can compete only with members of their ■own class, free competition must be •established.and maintained. Tho capitalists knew very well what tliey were striving at. with the unequal distribution of power between capitalist and workingmen, free competition of worker against worker can, not bring about an increase of the price of their commodity—their working' power- but must lead to the opposite, a decrease of the price of working power —their ,wages. Competition of the workers among themselves never benefits anybody but the capitalists. * *_ *#*♦.♦ In the trade unions the workers have found the means to protect themselves. The trade union is in Itself a refutation of the doctrine of free competition; every organized worker knows that his conditions improved considerably since-trade unions-were formed. , To prove-that, "compare wages and working, conditions of'the organized workers with those of the unorganized. Of course, the ideal trade union, or the trade union as if should be, excludes personal ' ambi. tion.^ 'The trade union does not fight for better conditions for the individual, for.the reason that better conditions for the individual are worthless as long as tlieir fellow-workers are compelled to work under inferior conditions. '" The endeavor of the trade union, therefore, is to better the conditions of the-membership in its en tirety; individual interests'can not be considered. - Free - competition finds in. the solidarity thus' exercised ah unsurmountable obstacle. A worker as. an individual may sometimes succeed in im'provihg his condition thro' iree competition, but to retain improved conditions and make" the success, a lasting one is only possible for the organization. , Free competition-is for'the work-'- er synonymous with renunciation of^ all claims-'to" better conditions, while on the other hand, compulsory or- 7 ganizatioD., which.does- away' with free ' competition is the means, to .improve ■ .the conditions for ^tlie masses.', The' trade-union does not deprive anybody.' of his freedom; it can not take away from the workingman 7what he does' not possess. And the freedom to compete with each other can ,nbt be a- compensation for the real freedom " which the worker will gain after capitalism will be "conquered by the or. ' Sanitations of the class-conscious proletariat. ■ . The abolishment of free competition and the establishment' of compulsory organization is part of tbe strug- ' gle of the proletariat against capital, ism.—Brewery Workers' Journal, Because of'the disparity^of- interests and of the contrasts'between the classes of our present society, organization is'ari indispensable neces slty. -. ■ A POLICEMAN'S THRIFT ' Upon resigning from the Chicp.go police force not so Aery , long ago, tlie wealth of a canny policeman prov. ed to be ,about four times as much 'as his total salary during twenty years of service. Graft! Xot necessarily —not in the sense in which you mean; not criminal graft. At any rate ho • didn't get caught. " .His graft seems to have been quite legal. He bought building lots and sold them as Chicago grew, thereby legally putting into his own pocket profits to communal, growth. This is graft, to be sure,' but it'is a kind of graft that the law allows. "I have paid $50," said this policeman in explanation, "for niariy; a ■ lot that I have sold only a year or' so later for -.oOO." When you realize that this profit of ?-150 a lot means food, clothing, shelter—labor in some of its manifold forms—and that the fruits* of this labor, go not to those who do it, but to the thrifty police-', man who bought a space on the planet' for $50 which" he sold for $500, you begin to recognize the grafty character of his profit. , Somewhere' in the-,complexities of business' the'$i!o0 which that policeman gets without earning it, others earn without-getting it—The Public.

' With glib' tongue and glowing promises they, point out to their victims the certainty of'his becoming affluent within a short time if he will only snatch "this God-sent opportunity %i buying in this particular, subdivision. It is the old game of appealing to man's cupidity aiid beating him "with "jaw" about making fortunes out of-a few feet of earth?". What chance has the ordinary individual against a professional shark who has-laid his,trap carefully? - What chance has the ordinary getting his money back? Very slim! It is well- , known that some of the sub-divisions on.the mar- " ket are miles away from the town. ' There are suf- " ficient sub-divisions pf certain towns that have.a ■ population pf some ten thousand .to hold a population of over half a million. -, Even within the town limits nowadays is no guarantee of its value., In 'such instances the1 municipalities in order to increase its revenue annex portions of .surrounding land, knowing full-well that the town does not.re- quire it for extension purposes? It is estimated their money back. And'yet by sendingreal estate rustlers equipped with proper maps and advertising matter, into distant parts every lpt 'in- Fernie could bo, sold -at profitable' prices,', and" every lot around it for.30 miles (including the inountains)c could be put up .as. subdivisions and find^re'ady buyer's. They could put;up a.'"spi61".about the great coal deposits; the thousands of men digging' it (don't say anything'as, to the number of days a week they put in), the-number'of'railroads that pass through (that's about all they do), the'beauti-1 ful climatic conditions, tbe "splendidly graded roads and avenues, the splendid park'(which nobody seems'to want), the glorious fishing and hunting, the intelligent.pu—-A:- No!„,'tis enough! They'd "fall" for it every time. "-' _. "' * In justice,,however, to legitimate'real estate men,' and we know-of no citizens more.highly, respected than our local- friends, it "must be said that their calling is as honorable' as any "other under the'present system of government. Our object ik solely, with those who send out drummers aiid" sell lots which are either a-thousand miles from nowhere, or so far out of tlio city proper that it will be many years before the need to reside on them arises. Instead of men buying lots they know nothing about, as to locality, if they bought acreage with" a view of extricating themselves'from their,existing slay- Cry, and tilling the' soil, they would find'it more profitable. No objection'can be taken,to either city lots at fair valuation, orflfarm lands. The real estate shark who sends oufr'druinmers, and especial; ly amongst newcomers, who cannot understand-the language of the land, is the one that are a purse in the land, riot the iionest real estate vendor. ■_ ;-.

AND THE MAGAZINES that for every man who will obtain a legitimate profit on "his investment in any sub-division,. one .hundred will never see-their money back—their children may.* 'As a contemporary remarks, it is much safer to play poker, for in that kind of a gamble you can at least have some fun, and get a few- Mrinks before the "kitty" swallows all the'chips. In the real estate game it isa hundred.to oneshot that,you never get anythingbut a piece of paper—' 1 nnd your oavii dreams about.easy money. Business in.the Pass-is dull, and a sound reason given for this, apnrt from the slackness' of the work ai' the mines, is that the real estate pest has 'got hold of the little thc men earn. The wild and , crazy gambling in real estate is having a disastrous effect, both on the .wage-earner, and the business man. Its evil effect ean he plainly seen in every mining camp in thc district. Nay, not only ih the' mining camps of the-.district, hut throughout the country, nnd even as far us Great Britain, whoro the Canadian lnnd shark has taken a firm grip. The Canadian Chnmbcr of Commerce in London have recognized this and are usipg every effort to put a stop, or at least minimize the evil. At a recent meeting of the Council it passed certain resolutions hearing directly on tho 111 otter, nml any of its members dealing in Canadian real estate aro asked to pledge themselves: 1. Not to offer for sale any land described as Canadian lown lots, or similarly termed, a plan of which has not been registered for' subdivision in accordance with thc provisions of the locjal Land Titles Aft in Cnnndn. 2, Not to publish or distribute nny map or plan of any proporty intended',to promote tlio side of that property ns town lots which does not show tho whole of the town in or noar which the property is situate, nud which dobs not benr on tlio fane of it tlio following information:— (n) The scalo, winch mny not ho loss thnn two inches to ono mile.

They, at least, have a chance of aeeing THAT Socialism is "making remarkable progress, is becoming perfectly, 'evident from the space itv is-being allotted in the, magazines," and in many newspapers. 7 It seems, to liave come-to the fore-? front all'of a sudden, for one hardly can pick" up a magazine without .finding it practically strewn,with Socialistic articles, either for or against, more often for. For many a long, day there seems to have been a sort of an unwritten law amongst journalists not to, breathe a word about Socialism—to treat it with contempt. * Keeping-Socialism out of the magazines was one big bigoter inspiration. Only a- brain benumbed by -capitalistic "oil" and "shrewdness "would be-capable of such a dream, for magazines must have readers, and readers are constantly .clamoring for something about the'world in which they live. ?

KASTNER Sole Agent for Fernie Keir Hardie's Open?y ^ Letter to the Kitig - LONDON, England.—Keir Hardie, the pioneer labor leader and Socialist member -'. bf - parliament, issued throu-gh the ' columns of the '- "Mer- thyr Pioneer" the following: •" „ Your Majesty— - ' ' I gather from' the public press that t you, accompanied by' the Queen, ■ are about to pay a visit, to Merthyr. It is being reported that the object of the visit is to enable you to become better acquainted with your people—a' most laudable object? "You will find the people of Merth'yr and'Aberdare Valleys well worthy of 'a better acquaintance, and were it possible ' for you both to spend a few days in social converse with them, they would be able to tell you many things which your ex. alted position precludes you from knowing. ° , For myself, however, I must say that the ostensible object of your visit does not seem very convincing. T do not know .what reasons were advanced to induce you. to single out Merthyr for ' this , special honor," although ' probably-you had no "real say in the matter,' and I * certainly should not have-, intervened were it, not that' there -are "■ certain .. facts y.'1-ich, *in fairness to yourself?" you should know before giving ' final .assent to the' arrangements.' ;j V "" ', Reason of tne Visit. * The lesser of these facts is that a very large proportion of _ the elec: tors of the Merthyr Burroughs ' are good sound Labor men and Socialists. This, of'coiirse, is an evidence of their intlligence, which I hope you will fully appreciate. For some time past, however, there has been a movement on. foot amongst the re. actionary elements iri the constituency to check the growth of the working class movement, and, particularly, to oust' me from the' Parliamentary seat. Every eifort of this kiiid Jn the past — arid' there, haye been several — has failed lamentably, the working- class refusing ,'to be weaned from their support of myself and tlieir allegiance to their own-movement by any„"effort hither, to ■ made. - '",,'. Now, however, it. is hoped , that you may succeed where all else has failed, and that your presence may be' taken' as, a hint that an,advanced Socialist and Republican like myself is not the sort of meinber'whom the workers should send to represent- "th em~in~PariiamenE—"I—'■ y?—*~ .No effort will be spared to -make your visit as imposing and impressive as possible with this' end in view; and those members of public bodies who most bitterly oppose any' expenditure of money in improving the town or relieving destitution'.will be in the forefront of those who will clamor'for expenditure upon decorations and the like on tlie occasion of your visit. IL will, all be put down to tlie score of loyalty, although I shruwedly expect that your experience of loyalty will enable" you to estimate thl_j kind at its true value. Let me add that I view theso efforts to use you as a political agent with perfect composure, and merely mention the matter as a preliminary . to something else of far greater Importance. That something else is this. Tho management contemplated, I un- derstand, Include a visit to Dowlals, where you aro to bo shown over i. part of tho Iron Works and bo enter, tulned thereto lunch. It is this fact which has led to this loLlor bolng written. Millions In Dividends Tlio Dowlals Iron Worlcfi, with thoso of Cyfnrthl'a, which nro now blended with Dowlals, havo been in existence for over a century, During that period ,lhcso works havo yielded scoroB of millions ,of pounds In dividends and profit to |.iow» owners, who hnvo thus bocomo wnnlthy to nn armr/lng dogroo. Tho profltH and dividends havo enabled them to become groat luiidod proprietors who now rnnlf with tho country nrlntocrncy of moro than ono shlrc ln ..iififliuid. F/Von now tho public Imlnnno HhootH provo tlmt thn profits oxcocd 1500,000 pounds n yonr, It would nntuntlly ho ftsmimod that a firm so proHpormiH would havo beon noted for a fair, If not, a generous, trontmont of Its worldnj. pooplo, mid nlno for ItH I.piio.hcIIoiih to tho town In which Itn wenllh wna bring miido, Tho vory opposltft of this la tho mho, Tho whole of Morthyr nnd DowIiiIb will ho MoiiiThod In vnln for any ovldonco of public spirit or. tho part of ,the, Guests, the - "Crawshays? or (as'the firm-is now named), the Guests, Keens, arid Nettlefolds..' .- '" - There are no,,, public - buildings, monuments, public parks or public institutions due - tb * tlieir generosity or civic' patriotism. 'Everyone famil7 iar with the Mstory,'of the place is not only aware that such.things are a-wanting, but that?-- every effort* to' improve 'the amenities of the ? town has been fought bitterly by the representatives of this great firm, if-even the ? slightest addition to the niuni'ci- pal rates were' involved. . *'.'., Pittance's*'as Wages"-n That) of itself, would be a serious Indictment, but there is a* 'much graver one to follow. From the days of Its inception down to a few months ago this' firm had the unsavory notoriety of being'*" the worst sweaters of labor in the whole of Wales. Their unskilled workers were paid Vates ranging from 14s. to 15s. a week—many- of them married men with families. Their normal week's work consisted of seven days of 12 hours," supplemented by overtime, which, frequently ran to three shifts .a week. ..Their skilled artisans' received from 6s. to 10s. ■ a week less than wages paid by com-, peting firms for similar work In the same industry in other parts of Wals5 and: elsewhere. No thought; care, or,'consideration for *the'comfort, safety, or convenience bf the workers was ever'given by the firm. « In March, 1911, between 40 arid 50 .'Dowlais molders came out on strike because bf "ah insidious attempt "on the part of-the firm still further to reduce the miserable pittance they were .receiving iri the form'of wages. You will be'driven through the main street from',' Merthyr Station? up through. Penydarren, to the 'Dowlais Works. There will be gay buntings and crowds to watch you-pass. Look ait them closely, especially from the upper end'of'Pendarren to Dowlais.

A. more fitting distinction, conveying the" condition that prevails in most cases, would be union ■ and non-union shops, . The term open' shop conveys the Idea to those, not conversant with the facts that" It ls an Industry where every man is free to work regardless of his membership or non-membership ih a trade union,-^and, while In Isolated cases this Is true, yet Sn the great majority of places operated undor this system they are In fact closed shops against union men and womon, Their, ability ns workmen, their moral char, actor or In fnct any numbor of human accompllqliments that a.good citizen might possess nro Insufficient to overcome tho objection to union mon nnd women.'

It is • furthermore a humane institution wherein the welfare of the' dependents of the,,employes are con. siaered in, the-negotiations of' the wages,'hours and-conditions—a noble consideration in dealings among men, as tlie future welfare of tne race is receiving tlie protection necessary to reproduce itself in more perfect form arid prevent degeneration. v The' wages, hours and ^conditions prevailing ih union shops are universally better tlian- in the nonunion or so called .open shop.. It is, however, necessary for tbe proprietors of shops closed "to union men to pay a scale of wages"and maintain*hours and conditions closely' approaching those that obtain in, the'union shop.,- This Is a condition forced upon "them against their will to enable them to get suf. ficient help to man their Industries and to discourage the unorganized workers (_from joining the ' union of their craft. ' The purpose that prompts the effort to' disrupt the trade unions is very clear. It enables employers to reduce wages to the minimum^ len- gthen hours at will and impose ef. ficieney systems to drive men and women to the limit of physical endurance, wearing them out as they would a machine; and finally cast them, Into the human scrap heap In a condition beyond repair.- * ■ There Is ample data under existing conditions in many industries, to prove the union shop produces' the ;maxi- mum in output at less,cost per unit when compared with** the nonunion shop. - it must be .understood, however',' that wages can be reduced in the nonunion shop to a point where it* would be impossible to sustain this argument. Therefore, if given a free hand in the* labor market—universal open shop and a closed shop in the markets for the-products of labor— the' ideal condition for the disciples of the open shop will obtain. Property will be enthroned and labor enslaved. —W.-'E: Bryan in American Federa. tionist. ,* ' ' .

It Is said that the coal at Grassy mountain will bo takon „ out from Blairmore which will be much nearer than tho old way.
