LETHBRIDGE, Nov. 19.—Leon Syn- iuk, a Slav miner, employed at No. 6 1 mine died yesterday morning as the result of horrible injuries which, he had received Saturday] while at work in the mine. .The mounted police were notified of the death yesterday, and a coroner's inquest will be held ovor the remains today. Syniuk was employed in the mine and ih some way he managed to get tangled up in the machinery. In a horrible mangled condition he was rifsiiea'to'thVhbspftaTartd although all that medical aid could accomplish was done tho man expired. ' Syniuk resided at tho corner of Fourth Avenue and 16th street, and had been employed at the mine for some time. The authorities nave not yet ascertained how the accident occurred as the matter was not reported until the unfortunate miner had succumbed to his Injuries. At the Inquest today a verdict of accidental death was returned. It sooms that the doccased sustained his Injuries as tho result of a panic cans- od by his becoming excited over tho runaway of four cars In splto of which seven oprogs wore put through tho wheels to prevent tho cars skidding down the Incline. - The doconsod In endeavoring to save lho property of tho company was In somo unaccountable manner caught between tho enrs nnd frightfully mangled. IIo resided nt ICth street north and Is survived by a widow, Ettor and Glovannittl are at laat,glv-1 en a chance to testify on the witness stand. J. J. Ettor described the events of January 20, when the strikers pftrad-, ed. Ho declared that he urged that there bo no. violence; that he said, "We will march away from the mills." He also told how, during the parade, he headed off a detachment which was marching toward the place where soldiers were stationed. "Tliere was danger of disturbance with the soldiers," he said. "I stood between the soldiers and the head of the parade. I held up my arms ana hat and swung the mnrchefs away from the soldiers." ■ Ettor said he told the strikers not to provoke trouble and not to let themselves be provoked into trouble. He said: "I told them I was morally certain that the attacks-upon the street cars were carried out by direction of the mill owners to brovoke trouble. In support of that I cited many strikes in which employers actually destroyed their own property^ to discredit the strikers and gain military interference to break the strike." - The Commonwealth produced a circular signed by Ettor and Giovannitti advising the strikers' to "knock down the stairs" persons who urged them to return to work, and to "break their bones."

Art uro Glovannittl, the young Soclnl lst writer and poet, faced the jury, despite the absence of his personal counsel, W. • Scott Peters. He said after having affirmed to tell the truth, that he was born in Italy 28 years ago, the son of a 'chemist, and was educated there. Coming to America, he lived for some time at Halifax and Montreal. "Whilst studying English '.at Montreal he conducted an Italian Presbyterian Mission, after which he entered a Presbyterian theological school. He afterwards - took charge of a mission In Brooklyn and conducted an Italian mission at 'Pittsburg. There he became connected with the Socialist Par.ty; but people of the Presbyterian Church objected. , "I told them," he said, "I did not think the teachings of Cm 1st and Socialism were antagonistic, but I severed my connection with thr church." Returning to New York in 1911 he look up Italian newspaper woik and met Ettor. He went to Lawrence January 20tlf last after the strike was called, and before going there learned the mllltla had been called, 'that there was a'feellng that Ettor should leave the town, ,and also that the stations were being watched for outside agitators.

TO SPEND $500,- " 7000 ON INVESTIGATION Washington:—a.bin is about to pass congress providing for the creation of a commi'ssion-.to "inquire into the reasons for industrial unrest.".. One member of congress thinks it unnecessary to spend half a million dollars' io find'why there is industrial unrest'. Mr. Berger says of the proposed legislation: '' "Scientific investigations of industrial conditions, if properly, conducted, are always useful, of course". ■ It is doubtful, however, whether the proposed investigation will bring forth very, muoh that is now. Everybody who has studied the present economic system knows the cause of the 'social unrest.' "It is this; According to the government figures at hand the average net production of every wage-worker in the United Slates is " valued at '$1,290 annually. The average wage paid in 1909 was $518. In other words the worker received a little over 40,1 per cent as his share of the production. The rest went to the - capitalist class as a whole in form of rent, profit and Interest. v ■. . , "Now, if the commission will make it its duty to find out in what way this, surplus value bf the product which was distributed among the capitalist class could be retained1 by the working class, then the commission would do very useful work. "If, oh the other hand, this ne\\ commission is simply going to collect all kinds of statistics and publish tho same in a.large number of bulky.volumes,'as.did another industrial commission some ,12 years ago, then I will say beforehand, that the work will be productive of very litilegood. "Another suggestion: -The great question before the people now is whe- there we are to have organized capital or organized production and distribution.- It is percetly evident that we, must, in' the future, have organized business action of some kind. • "Now, let the commission show the way how we can have organized-business in the interest of the^ entire-nation instead of in the interest)of a few individuals. That would be worth while." ' Because thoy aro THE BEST ON THE MARKET, that's why.

Mines Regulation Act for British Columbia was passed amid bombast as-the most perfect law at the session of the Legislature for 1911, we pointed out that lt was incomplete in that no provision was made for properly regulating the use of electricity in mines. Within a year and a half of the passing of that Act,'the Bureau of Mines has discovered the omission, and has, so we are informed, advised companies who had. in hand installations of electric plants that they will noL be allowed to use tliem until new legislation has been brought In to regulate, the use of electricity in coal initios, The result Is thnt companies' linvo either hoon compelled lo "drop .their electric installations, or havo postponed them until they know what tho provlslono of tlie proposed lnw shall bo, The action 'of tho department in1 making such provision Is right, but what wo object to is that, tho development, of coal mining should bo hampered by incompetence or Ignorance on tin. part of tho Mlnlstor of Mines, and thoso who drow the laid.

Mr. Kiiighi defined.' Socialism as the application,of the theory, of evolution to society and thereafter at length dealt with .its origin" aiid history. Civilization' announced;its ad:' vent upon the stage of events -.by,,the inauguration' .of slavery. 7; • The '• slave worked for the master.''. The "product of his labor belonged to the master. The master saw that the 'slave had food, etc., sufficient to enable him to, work on the.morrow. If he allowed his slave to starve he might .be unable to get another, unless at considerable" cost. With slavery there came the carrying out of,works of greater magnitude than formerly. "The feudal slave worked 'a part of' the time for the feudal lord for nothing, being allowed .to work the balance.of the time for himself upon the land set aside' for his own use.. -The wage'slave does precisely for his master what the chattel slave and feudal serf did 'for theirs. No one would be impudent enough to assert that either of the latter were paid for. their work,- yet in common parlance the wage-worker gets paid for his. The fact asserts Itself with ever increasing emphasis tliat chattel slave, feudal slave and wage slave worked for practically the same thing—a bare ex-1 istence; and. this 'has been rendered ever more insecure and.uncertain as each successive stage soaldoz each of these successive- stage's of civilization became more highly developed. ■ Mr.- Knight's remarks were warmly appreciated _and his answers to several questions directed at him were answered with clearhers..

Post Office Box No. 380 LINING UP I T is not -with surprise or alarm that ve.observe the advent of a monthly magazine to uphold the interests of the employing class. The "American Employer," a monthly magazine, has been launched and is published at Cleveland. Ohio. Wc are informed on the cover of this publication that it is "a monthly magazine devoted to the interests of the Business Men in the United States and Canada who hire labor." That it is in the interests of those who hire labor is evident from the editorial in its first number wliich frankly admits its opposition to organized labor and Socialism. , Jt believes in the open shop and the supremacy of the employer over his wage slave. But for the workers the editor of this magazine has, no ill will, and in fact says "We are not his enemy and wc wish him well. ' In addition, we fight his battle, for we insist he shall have the right to work if he wants to work, all the opposition to .his working on the part of any man or any body of men to the contrary notwithstanding." As to Socialism, he says "We are opposed to Socialism as inherently bad political economies and against human nature." The large increase in the Socialist vote in the re- ' cent Presidential elections in the United States must have been received with an uncertain enthu- _siasm by this well-wisher of labor. Not alone on the political field does he receive an unwelcome shock, but in the third number of this publication,' which we have before us, he is •trying to arouse the employer to the danger of continued organization of labor by pointing out the encroachments of the A.'F. of L. into the sacred ^reserTes~of~tne~uiiited"States~SreerCcn-pOTationT,~~ The Socialist economics may appear to this apologist of the employing class as "inherently bad," but it is strange that our much maligned theory of ■""the Class Struggle finds such conclusive evidence in the appearance of a publication avowedly out for oppose organized labor. cLet us take the evidence from the pages of the third number (October, 1912). On Ihe title page, following the list of contents, we find "Printed in an Open Shop," and on pnge 137 we find under this heading "This Organization Deserves Support," an appeal for membership of the National Building Trades and Employers' Association, and on page 151 under the title of "Surprising Decision" this inspiring news to-employers: "The supreme Court of tho State of Kansas 1ms rendered a most surprising decision to the effect that a Kansas law, making it a criminal act to discharge a man for being a member of a labor union or refusing' to quit a labor union, was valid." It docs not take much intelligence to observe thc class linos, and his , solicitous concorn for the "right to work" for the workers should have been corrected to "thoir right to bo worked." Tho Employers' Association is a grand thing, but tho Employes' Association is abhorrent. Thc employers aro perhaps organizing for the benefit of tho workers? The lovo and respect in which the workers woro hold previous to their organization on the industrial and political fields was truly touching. The self-sacrifice of which the capitalists were capable in tho strugglo'for the reduotion of tlie working day is a monument to their generosity. Thc concern with which thoy thought out mothodH for tho preservation of human life in tho factories and mines; the kindliness with which they induced women nnd children to stop out from the narrowness of tho homo and proudly enrn thoir living amongst men nud boys in Iho beautiful workshops prepared for them I Blood nnd sweat, and heiu-t- lcss toil and misery Imvo boen tho soil upon which lnbor organization wns bulit. A soil prepared by wipltalisin, and wliieli onr critlrH would have- us beliovo is not "mrainst human iiiitun.'." Into Hint soil wliirh promises a prolific return wo aro inject- iii« lho uonA of nn o.lwnlioi} nf <»nlif'Monmoiit whifh tho employer views with alarm.

The struggle for existence is becoming more acute Jvorn day, to day ' V-neuvploynient is rife a'tul ;V*? having jobs are desperately clinging on to them. In these circumstances it is not surprising to note that the working plug,' beiug compelled to think; is beginning to realize that there is something radically' wrong with a system that forces upon him this dread of not knowing for how long his bread and butter is-assured. And, thinking, it is bound to dawn tipon him that in Socialism lies his only hope. In these-circumstances it is regrettable that" there should bo petty squabbles and misunderstandings in our ranks, ids, prehaps, of little consequence; for sooner or later both working for the same end, we will come'together. This can best be illustrated by-the split of the Socialist votes in the elections in .question, when the Socialist Lnbor party put up a, candidate for the presidency in the person-bf Rheimcr. Whilst figures are not to hand as to what his vote was, it is estimated that it was inthe neighborhood of 60,000. True, it is not much, but if this party would have joined forces with' the straight Socialists Debs' vote might haye been close upon say'J,500,000.' Por, in the ranks of the Socialist Labor are many'good-men and women, who unfortunately devoted most of their time to criticizing Socialism. Much bigger and better work could have been accomplished by them in working for Socialism. Had tbey used even a little of that energy in attacking capitalism they would be farther advanced than they are now. There is no use in their continuing to prate and preach their own vir-' tues the while they do nothing against capitalism. They have only one place, and that is in the Socialist party.

This is one of the many illus-. trations of the widespread disturbance of life all over the worl'd caused by a local war on the shores of the Black Sea covering an area of less than a dozen Ontario counties. \ - .- 'The declaration, of war .in the Balkan'States in- "CTeased"the_cost"of_x6odstufi.S'to'the"people-in-a3rH-' ain with ten hours, and the report that a Greek navy had'taken'comhiand of the Dardanelles raised the'price of wheat in Chicago. Stock markets in London^ Berlin, Paris and New York were injur-, iously- affected, • and hundreds of Canadians who knew little and cared less about the Balkan question suffered serious financial loss. > Trade has been interrupted in all parts of the world. Indus-, tries for a time were paralyzed not only by the sudden confusion of the world's credit, but by the'with-,, drawal of thousauds of ^yorkracn' from economic labor to return to their native "countries as soldiers at thc expense of those engaged in remunerative production. And yesterday's ..despatch reports seven hundred Bulgarians "bound for the front," causing delay and loss in tho construction of. the National Transcontinental Railway across Canada. 1 All this means that tlie word is getting too ,small for war-. Every advance of civilization, every discovery of science, every improvement'in the means of international communication, and every widening of tho bounds of human thought makes war botweon any two nations an archaic, pagan aud intolerable nuisance to every other nation in tho world. , Woro it not that the so-called "Powers" aro themselves still tho victims of the military delusion this now exploded bluff of tho Turk would long ago havo been ended as thc antics of a half-drunkoi) desperado in a Rocky Mountain mining camp or of a hold-up gang in a railway cutting would bo ended by a squad of Northwest Mounted Police. What is needed in Britain and Germany today is not so much annual expenditure of $500,000,000 on Uio moans of war, tho incitements to tho warlike tompor, and compulsory training for war, but rather a comi.ion.soiifio appreciation of tho stupid folly of war, ilH humbug patriotism, and il* impertinence as a disturber of tho legitimate lnuiinoHi. of tho community of intorpendonl nations. What civilized loenl society lias dono with tlio brawler ami tho bully must now bo done by civilized society with any brawling ond bullying nation. War is out of date. Tt is brulnl. It is stupid. Aud ovon at best it,loaves tlio ronl question at issue lo bo solved by intornatioal law, roason, and arbitral justice. If war in the little Balkan territories puts out of gear the machinery of tho world's industry, trado and credit, what would war between Britain and Germany meim? Tliat question makes world-lvou- «wn nut, of wnr Hr»nreR nnd tlif> wnr tnlk thnt feeds tho wnr fover, Wnr anywhere \n nu in. \mtieo nnd n cnrHo everywhere.

Frank is to be congratulated on the strength of Its' fire brigade, as well,as on the equipment they possess-to handle fires with. Will we have a rink or not? has been a common question around here lately, and nearly everyone was sure we would. Yet- there is always a few pessimistic souls that don't see things on their brighter side.' However, the question has been settled. ^ meeting was held' in the school hall and eyerybody was a booster. Such statements as Frank was never as~ prosperous as this year might have been heard, and. at once a rink was decided on. Heretofore the older meii were the'responslble parties, this year they all wanted to take a back seat, give - subscriptions, etc., and let the young men run the affair, and even do the work i£ they feel so,disposed. A rink committee was appointed, composed of H. D. McKay, sec.-treas.; N. "Ekrosby, F. AllSt, J. Hamilton, M. J. McKinnon! D Duiilop, E Dorkln, E. Acheson, C. Thompson, E. Harlow and W. T.

But that is not so. , This young man, who is 20 years of age, was receiving the miserable salary of ?50 a month, and on that was supposed to pay all his living expenses and keep up an appearance in the city of Edmontou. He could not live decently on that , salary, and instead of going into debt, robbed the bank. When arrested he had not eaten for three days, but had secured a position in a store at a faiv.'salary,- and 'even tbe police, who are proverbially hardhearted, believed him when he said he intended' to live an honest life, and pay back what lie had stolen. This young man" no doubt did wrong in. taking what did not belong to him, but what about the people who put him in a position of 3uch temptation? The bank -he was- working for is paying 'a dividend of 12 per cent.

La estesis- sima relazlbne che la dlrezione del partito (Pnrtoivorstand) ha membri del partito1, in forma di supplemento al "Vorwarts" ed a pre'sentato al delegati ed a tutti.I tutti i loro glornall quotidian!, consiste di G4 flttlsslme pagine. ii uorb ,tremendo lavoro organlzza- torio risulta lampantevdalle numerose e ben ordinate statlsticho; statlstlche mal nep'pur sognate dai sociallstl latin! e neppure dal pratlci amerlcani. I membri del partito'salirono .in un anno da'836.5C2 a 970,112 di cui'130 mila sono donne,"ll che da iin aumento dl 171 mila e piu' precisamente del 15.9 per cent. Essi contravano pero1 di arrlvare al milione preciso di organiz- zati il che non e lor riuscito, ma non per questo -v e da dolersene. II pro- presso che 1 tedeschl hanno fatto Jn un anno e 5 volte piu' grande di quello fatto dagli italiani d'America in 15 anni. Confortante e l'aumento delle donne nel partito il quale arrlva.al 21 per cento' superando di molto l'aumento generale. Alia testa del movimento, se con- siderato per.stall, sta il,regno di Sassonia' con"150 mila membri e 19, de- putatial "Aeichsiag" su 23. A giusta ragione questa vien chiamata la Sa's. spnia rossa. ; Ma se il movimento vien cousiderato4.er citta alia.testa di tutte ,sta Berllno o sobborghi con 120 grande ih;,dimensione ed in popola zione parimenti indu'straile, i nostri compagni amerlcani non hanno certo d! che vant'arsi. Non voglio pero' con cio' dire.che la colpa sia dei compagni di Chicago o dei loro dirigenti. Le cause vanno rlcercate nelle condizioni di ambiente;'dl tradizione, di educa- zione ecc. Seconda tra le citta viene Amburgo con ,60 mila inscritti. . Sei colle'gi hanno' oltre 20 mila memb/i e sonno: Norimberga 20,118, Berllno IV. 25,267, I3e'rlinfa. VI. 31,418, Lipsla, 32,; 219,-Teltow-Beskow-(sobborghiidi-Ber- lino)^ 32,885''ed Amburgo III (il colle- gio che clegge Bebpl) 42,532. ' La stampa, questa tremenda e potent* arma dl propaganda, dl battaglia e di educa'zione ,non e ne gletta dal nostri compagnl tedeschl c' la diffu- slone dlessa'occupa 11 medesimo posto che.ocupa il partito in generale. II numero del loro quotidian! e 86 ed 11 numero del loro abbonatl un milione e mezzo con un anmento dl 171 mila sul- l'anno precedento. Le entrate per soil abbonamentl ill tutti questi glornall messi lnsleme ammontarono a circa 9 millonl dl marchl'dl cui 1,391,- 298.95 per solo "Vorwarst" .dl Berllno o le entrate del medeslrai por inser- zlonl ammontarono n clmr 6 milioni dl cui 710,403,75 pel solo "Vprwarts." A tutti o nota la ononno vittoria die essi rlportarono nello elov/lonigenorall nel gennaio, scorso in' cui elessero 110 de- putati al "Reichstag" ed- ottennero 4,250,320 voti e cioe un milione in piu' di quanto ebbero nelle precedenti ele- zioni del 1907, Con un sistema piu! proporzionalmente corretto nella- for- mazione' del'collegi, con simile numero di voti essi avrebhero dovuto avere 139 deputati Invece di 110 ed-il centro (il partito clericale) avrebbe dovuto averne 23- di meno. Diverse eletlooi che.ebbero luogo in differenti parla- menti statali (Landtag) recarono pure, soddisfacenti risultati a dispetto dell' ingiusto sistema elettivo prevalente in essi,1 in,, cui il, ricco conta per Ire,, il mefdid bo'rghese per 2 e l'operpio )>er uno-solo. I deputati statali salirono dunque a 224 au mentando di 36. 1 consiglieri comunali ed altro piccolo rappresentanze comunali sono 12 miia. Di queste cifre ogni socialista, non solo teutonico ma anche latino, e or- goglioso e si augura solo che il pro- prio n paese possa presto dare simile rlsultato, I nostri cugini slndacallstl sembrano disprezzare e elf re e voti cosl pure il mlo conclttadino che ml ospitn a I-Iol- ton, Mich., mentre scrivo questo com- mento. Ma a lul ed ai suol amid raramenlo solo l'evoluzlono dl Gustavo Herve in riguardo al valore, alia forza ed alladlscipllna del Partito Socialista Tedesco. II "Socialist Party," se pur non ha an'cor dato simili risultati, cionondl- meno e sulla stessa^ via, e noi, seb- bene parte minuscpla di es so, daremo del nostra meglio onde non abbia ne a riformeggiare' ne a Bind'acalizzare.— Bellini, Ronchetta.

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.
