The slave work-, ed for, the master. ...The product of his labor belonged to the master.

Increasing' power 'to produce .wealth eventually surfeited the master class and .its,institutions,' until the' civilization" of time,'' rotten to the. core, went to, pieces; at-the touch of the barbarians' of, a'.-mpre northera clime; and |out-of the "".chaos of; its ruins there.emefged a? slavery wearing a different garb -.but.jn.

' But in as much' as neither got more than the hare necessities of existence, the difference between them was one of appearance only. The very essence of their servitude was the same in either case. *-: , * • ■> For some hundredsbf years the feudal system of slavery held sway. The tools of, wealth production were'continually being improved upon and the power of production increased." Like their predecessors,' the*'chattel slave masters, the feudal lords became surfeited ' with 'wealth and their civilization became a nuisance in the,pathway of human progress. The wealth the feudal slave could produce.in excess of his own keep could not,be consumed by his master. It cried out with ever-Increasing Insistence to be disposed of. A new master class arose out of the rank's of the slaves. ' Skilled workers In the towns partially broke loose from feudal rule. Master .workmen with their tools ever becoming more powerful under their hands scented rich profits In' the production and sale of. their .wares, If the restrictions of 'feudal rule could be completely broken. The feudal lords could not withstand .the pressure of this 'econo- nic power * developed within- feudal society, and were' forced to give over the sceptre of rule to the master workmen who* were speedily to develop1 into factory lords. • • ■ " , ' * ' ' a "-• . , I As the tfeudal system gave "way, a vista opened up" before ** the*, feudal workman "that had every appearance of being that freedom" of which he had long'dreamed. .But.it.proved to be. a delusion:, - The individual workman in the Individual,shop grew .into a collec- t^on.'of "workmen iri a larger shop, and the subdivision of labor. ";The worker no longer made aharticle entire. He performed a" certain part of the work only, and passed.it along, to a fellow workman. The hand tool grew into a machine and the-process of production became, more-complex and the necessary equipment' more costly, it became more and more impossible for the individual worker to lift himself from the rank' of, worker to that of master. -\ Awakened from , his dream of freedom he\found himself in the grip of a veritable industriaf'monster, that squeezed" the .last drop of blood from his quivering body, even more completely than did ever chattel slave^ master or feudal lord.

'^ " ORPINGTON' .' Personally I think the breeding of Orpingtons" has a wpnderM' fascination. When a breeder has succeeded •in producing a really good specimen with first class type, and of good color, he can well-look on his work-with justifiable pride',' We will take Ihe buff. We feel* proud if we can get a real good- one, and ^keep It good if it's only for other people to look-'at. From what I can gather very few breeders differ in-what they consider the ideal bird, and also the majority of them have their eye on what's required. But very few have identically thc same ideas in mating their stock to produce this perfect bird. ,1, I think we all agree that the female has the greater influence in reproducing type and unnoubtcaiy so.as regards size. If only one could get typical males to mate with these deep- bodied hens, all would be well/but such birds are comii-initively scarce-at present. Having been j'lriun.iro emiuqt) to get the best of typo in both sexes, one has-to face, the question of color. My observations, carefully noted, are tha'. throughout the family the light otEiige, or lighter _.hadewbjiffs have -j greater tendency to be more typical than their ricw hued broth-*:'., and sisters. Of course, I grant there are occasional exceptions', but if the breeding- is traced, one often finds a "cast back" to light orange, blood in that particular bird. . Now, this is* unfortunate". rSay one is the lucky possessor of a' really sound typical male of a light* orange color, and'has some fe-' males, large, typical of a' light lemon shade of color, one would say "mace, together and,hold all the belt youngsters of the season." , But, If these birds are mated together, the progeu/ will most probably show In a majority bt cases a sign of white in some part; In the worst cases, white in flights !in the cockerels and' mealinesj on wing tow in the pulictt, and "in aceftain uurnber of the youngsters, light-lacing on the breast of the cockerels, ai.d in those pul'e. i without iriei'ii.-. pS u weakness in urder color." Type in such- a mating has to; be sacrificed, undone must'cal! in some 're-1' blood, ... ,. ^ which means a greater amount* of pig- rcih-.-Lut as 1 contend," a. tendency in the "red" blood for deficiency of type. We, thus'get'a battle going on—color _..._.««.._~_£.._~_^ ...li.W__.L_»_~_._'..l_. 1.1._.____11._.- Buff Orpington fancy will live for years on account of the •litflc.nlty "in producing ideal specimens.' and then [trying to get,the best of those birds to reproduce themselves, or even with* in reasonable limits, to carry on their Individual good qualities to their pro-' geriy.' ' " A' ., A, It -is this eluslveness ' In breeding Buff Orpingtons that gives trouble,to the older breeders,' but at, the same time it gives the novice" the sporting opportunity of coming" up on'top vith a* happy "nick" of mating. ' . All the breeders of Buffs have ,been novices in their time, and what one-man can do others can do equally ■ well. ,. So novices,'take good heart and <try to bring out good birds. The demand Is a growing one for - Buff Orpingtons, and although we have no exhibitions of poultry at present, I, don't thin1, the time will be long before, fanciers will 1-ave the "opportunity of seeing who has the good birds and where to secura their stock through the show pen.

V'' • "■•" . . ■ ■ A" THE WESTERN FARMER IT is a favorite piece of advice of Westerners that v they do things somewhat differently to'what prevails "back East," .and it would seem that'the farmers of Canada ■ could' be classified under two headings—the ancient and modern. It is unnecessary to point out tliat thoso falling under the heading of modern are the men of the west, who certainly do go about things in a far more up-,to- date and progressive way than those "back _3ast," or what we may term the ancient order of agricultural workers. Thc well-worn cognomen of "hayseed" has been applied to the farmers of. many parts of those who look with complacence "on ..the farmers who visit the cities to part so pleasantly with the fruit of their toil. - But,the winds o.f the western prairie country seem to have blown thc cobwebs from the brains of the farmers and they 1 are doing some thinking on' their own account. In the City of Lethbridge this weeic the Convention of the United Farmers of Alberta was held „ at which were representatives of -various .bodies of•• organized labor. , The capitalist press with a peculiar reticence comment very little on this lrieet- ing, and the significance of the utterances made by these farmers. ,lt was not a surprise, of course', * that the opinions of the miners should be of a Socialistic tendency, but tliat those '/upon whom the prosperity of this- glorious country of ours depends "should also prove to be inoculated with the same germs-must have occasioned some consternation to those who had an idea the great question of reciprocity was "what -concerned the' farmers far more than "anything else. The "capitalist press of the prairie provinces, labelled., as ■ Liberal, liks been 0ebhtini.ally endeavoring to - expose to the farmers the-great robbery that has been perpetrat- „'ecf upon them by .the. failure of the country to endorse the Reciprocity pact.with the United States. They had^becn extraordinarily silent about the _iys- y. . ,-A— .,..,-— * A HEROES OF THE DOCKERS' STRIKE rod/And.gun tax 'inHE day "of'.heroes has not passed, and in the ,fr., City of London, England, in thc offices . of Mv Isaacsi and/Son Ltd., is a band of heroes such as capitalism can produce. In the cause of their em^. ployers they were not behind and the glory o'f .their masters shines round about them as they eke out their existence in cheap,lodging and eating houses, content that .they have not lost their jobs and hoping that promotion may yet be their lot as a reward for the day of their noble service. ' " * „y Let us give the newspaper report of this notable event, which is served up in the form of an interview with a.member of the firm who is a brother of. the Attorney General of. Great Britain. ■ - _-A'If we employers have got to go .under, we -might-as well do.it standing up. . ... I looked- round to'see what could be done, and done quickly, too, because the,cargo had been there nearly a week. I sounded my clerks, and they volunteered readily to^do the work with the aid . of some of the ship V erewj" andfl I thought it only, - right that" I should go "andn'elp them." . The heroic clerks under "capitalism fall under the category of those whoni - the organized -workers stigmatize as "scabs," but, the capitalist press parades this incident as a splendid instance of loyalty to those who are wont to consider themselves** as tlie "only class in society that really matters. • To those who are unfamiliar, with the position of the clerical workers in Great ^Britain there is an inclination of bitterness.in7 the-thought that .they are such easy victim's of? their employers,. How- evei>it-must be borne'in.mihd that they are but the products of a system, which degrades men in their struggle with one another for existence. They, are also without organization to1 protect-those*'among them who' may have sufficient manhood tb voice their opinions or-take their-stand, amongst the re-** volutionary working class.7°- , ■■ A" **'■■■ -"-' *" . t * ' ,~ y i '*' . i ' It is also a peculiar fact "that these workers arc tem which exploits all those who do'the useful work of society, and have" spent very litle time in defining the true status of the farmer in this benefic.nt scheme of things. • Then thefarmers.come to their convention and' demonstrate to these* would-be educators of/opiiiion that they have a good insight into the law of surplus value., Tt has been stated by those who have studied the question that thc power of thc newspaper on tlie opinions of the people-is rapidly declining, and the reason is not far to seek when we see that they fear to publish thc truth.., Seeing that they can no longer rely on the press whicli pretends to enter,- specifically to them the farmers have been reading on their own account and forming their own opinions. ■ Knowledge is power, and llio farmers nre certainly realizing this. Whnt of the workers on the industrial field? ' Wlien the. farmers begin to nsk the reason why the smooth tongucd political orators are .going to have n gay time. They can't fool nil thc formers all of .the timo, and .the remarks of one of tho delegates at this convention is an indicntion of the modem fnriner's viewpoint on politics. "Tn re- gard to political action, ho didn't'know why farmers living in tho open air shouldn't have brains equal to the bost on earth; nil ho lacks is training, nnd ihnrc arc farmers who could', metaphorically speaking, wipe the floor "with the members of the legislature. lie hnd seen men at Edmonton little better thnn blocks nf wood.

To those who understand the force-of economic environment it is.easily understood,why "they volunteered readily" to striko at.'thc food and shelter of those who hnd gono on strike to make their lot more pleasant under present conditions.. ^ The employers coufd not stand by and see "goods rotting," but the bodies'and souls of the workers might rot if the clerks would *be loyal to their masters in keeping them in that sphere of life in which it had plenscd God to call them; .

Socialist representatives in city* councils and state legislatures came together* to discuss program's tand methods. With hardly a single exception, the successful Socialists were also Trade Unionists, and jail, agreed that in their various localities the Trade Unions and the" Socialist Party worked' together. ■ ,„ Of course, in these different cities the methods,,vary by which.these two movements of' the working 'class cooperate.. In ' some, cases the Unions haye'endorsed the Socialist Party. In other, cases the chief .officials of*'the Union Movement are the most;active Socialists and' are .quite 'naturally supported by the mass of Union men because ■ they^ were disgusted' with the corruption..and general ..rottenness,] of th'«" two old -parties'.', , '' - 7 """ - ! ; The movement in", Bridgeport?

A A" , The. candidate'for mayor was Jas? p'er;.McLevy,< a" slate roofer, a Socialist' of *ten' years', standing' and the president, of" the Central, Labor Body. All but two delegates to the Central Labor Union were, I believe,^. Socialists, or Socialist sympathizers. It,was only" natural*- that .where' the unions were so imbued with Socialism" they should* want to endorse the party's candidate for mayor. It was also suggested that the ' Unions would give most of the financial backing. Of courso, McLevy wanted the support of the Trade Unionists, but he re- BOhitely refused to permit the central body or the local unions to endorse thc Socinllst-Party or to vote funds for tho campaign, When-one of tho local papers published an alleged endorsement by the Barbers' Union pf a'De- mocratic polltlcinn, the Unions made a public' statement that thoy had endorsed no enndidato or party in that campaign. T!)o Socialists have been accused .ind they have accused others, of using the-unions for political purposes. In Bridgeport every union man' who had ever run as a Democrat or Republican had, as a mator of course, received the endorsement ot his union, and often the endorsement of all tho unions. Tho practice of endorsing candidates or parties has worked much 111 ln tho' Union Movomont. It lcndB to corrupt efforts to elect delegates to tho contml bodies, and the old political machines hnvo brought dolegatos, nnd ovon papers, tn tholr offort to nwlng politician, oven when ho Is n Soclnllst, nnd plodgo tho labor vote, But tbe politician, ovon whon ho Ib a Socialist, Ib n partisan first and a trade Unionist afterward. If he Is a Socialist, he protests vlolontly whon a majority of Democrats ondorso a candldato of tholr pnrty, hut tho vory moment the Socialists bavo won a majority the Unions aro naked to ondorso tbo Socialist Party. Those tactics create bltternes and dissension, and any such effort on tbe part of Socialista "to swing tbe Unions Into lino" differs only In method from that of the graf. ten wbo try to corrupt tbo Labor Movomont. " Tho policy Is a bad one, nnd McLevy stopped the practice Absolutely by hla resolute action. MuMivy * ucciiion was tbat of a innu who hui Ihe hklthl «n«i U*tl Intcroati of the Trade Union Movomont at heart. It Is In accord with tho policy of mnny European Social- tats ,who have urged tho Unions not U> «Uv.\-i_*_ GsivkAki*^* m. .oi_k aa ibdi-e was the slightest danger or disrupting tbe Trade Union movement. It is also In accbrd with the advice of Debel and Man, whose words I have quoted In previous articles, Even from tbe most narrow Socialist point of view, McLevy's action wis wise, To attempt to torn Involuntary mipport for any principle la tbe height of folly, In* stead of getting support there than •elsewhere. And all this ono receives reeentment You cannot brand men aa yeu brand cattle. If y<w ewM, thl? would not t» worth th* labor r>t ttofng It.

Before the" meeting of the .Connecticut"fLegis-" lature.of"l911',-4he. Socialists arid, trade unionists came' together * to?( work -put their legislative .demands.- "'In? the previous, gubernatorial- campaign the Socialists haddemanded the passage of a workmen's compensation "and a trades, disputes'"law." "'AH parities "pledged themselves1 to the former, the Socialist- Party only to 'the' latter/' When the conference met? at Bridgeport two bills were submittedcovering-thedemands of Labor oh both subjects.' The workman's compeneatioir bill was ".far "in advance of" anything contemplated by the old parties, and the trades disputes bill'was a-measure" which*few capitalist politicians dared to .oppose, but which nearly every one of them secret-* ly fought. It-was'modeled after the English act, and'was intended.to legalize; strikes, boycotts and.pickets. -Practically "the .'entire ' mass of trade, unionists, fought for "both bills. Tremendous gatherings of labor men met at the Capitol to attend the' hearings. .The class feeling'became in-' tense—the" employers * fighting "on one side, the employes ,on the, other. .'Democratic and Republican politicians faced destruction.-no'matter what they did? If they favored 'the ;-bi31sthey would be destroyed by the'corporations who had paid .their election "expenses and rightly., expected them to .represent-the interests of Capital, If they opposed the" bills, they would lose, the intelligent labor.vote.- -Both bills were defeated, but this* legislative campaign hadi an ".immense educational ■ effect upon the'working "class. ' It showed beyond any. possibility of doubt that the two old parties^were bound hand and foot to^ the*"manufacturers, 'and that Labor,could expect no reai bene: fits at their*-hands. / -- /'"A-, In _ all thts -. work McLevy . was 7 - a leader. .

The open shpp is a menace to America in the opinion of Seth Low, president of tho Rational' Civic federation, He told ti'tit organization at its recent annual convention at Washington that the open shop ordinarily is not a shop where union and lionuion men work side by side, but a-shop from which union 'men*nre excluded, if they llvo up* to union- principles. "And if tlio various organizations of employers persist in their efforts to crush unionism," he said, "the statoB and congress will curb them with drastic measuros," Mr. Low blamed a certain class' of employers for tho growing feeling ,of unrest, saying: "Some of tlio largest corporal ions in this country offend in practice against tho primary law of fairness—the right of workers- to collective bargaining through lenders-of tholr own choice— and In so doing they-aro, In my Judgment, more rosponslblo for tbo growth ot revolutionary soclnllsm than all other agencies combined."

Title | The District Ledger |
Publisher | Fernie, B.C. : H.P. Nerwich |
Date Issued | 1912-06-22 |
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. |
