"iV ■? - PAGE TWO THB DISTRICT _^GEB.',FEBNnS>' BmC./JUKJES;!^. . \:fyys'AV' •■s^y^xmhTM^^^yXs^ AyAA?^A^r^AV;A|^^7 VII—THE INTERNATIONAL TRADE ' UNION POSITION , , A In the last article it was shown how the International Socialist Movement jb has condemned every nation tending ,. to divide the workers on political or on industrial -lines. It- was also shown that, the workers need a powerful, united political party as well as , a powerful united trade union movement. These two movements of the working class, while occupying dis- ' tinct fields and having distinct organizations, should, at all times work harmoniously together. This position of the International Socialist Movement is, as I have shown, also tho position of the Socialist party in America. * ' Now "let us turn to the position of the international trade union movement. The trade unions of the world do not have an international congress, but representatives of all the national federations meet from time to time in an international conference. Samuel Gompers attended the conference >of 1909, held at Paris, and James Dun- ' can attended the conference < held at Budapest'In 1911. These conferences endeavor to deal strictly with trade union questions, but the position chat t rade unions should take toward i po-" li.ical parties has been debated and clearly outlined by-the conference'. At the Paris conference the. matter came up on the motion of Ihe French trade unions, to holi periodically in- te/national trade union congresses, the purpose of which would be to organize the interna.'oiial on the' same lines as those adopted by, the Frencu Federation of Labor. "The point of view' we take," declared the Frenchmen, Vis, that oniv, trade union action can lead the workers to final victory. . . '. You want an industrial and „ a political movement, but we want a purely economic one Our method of direct action, so, often derided, will surely lead us'further in _______"• long mn than your tactics. The French trade unionists vill- V*. taKe part in the International Socialist Con- greses; they do not concern them." Hueber, of, Austria, in ansewer to the. French delegates,, made the following statement on'behalf of the trade unions of, Great Britain, Belgium. Norway, Denmark, Holland, S.paln, Italy, Hungary, Austria and Croatia: "Wo fully respect the arguments brought forward by our French comrades .,; . but . . . we are opposed to that proposition.,, We■ believe in the absolute necessity of the co-operation of the political - and the-trade union . movements ot ■ the working classes. '.These must be the two weapons of ' the workerp. We must*1 use both In our struggles, and It would be a crime to discard either, whilst the workers are, politically and Industrially - suppressed by the capitalist classes, Legien, of Germany, said that he had not signed tbe abovo statement, not because his conclusions differed from those of Hueber, but only bo- cause he thought the matter might well be discussed. "If tho French do not attond the International Socialist Congresses," said Loglon, "wo havo no right to reproach thorn. But most of tho Comrades present horo also go, thore." In answer to the French delegates who had nrguod that the general strike was more effective than political action, Legien declared: "We do-not want'to spill*the blood of the workers without necessity."- We, have gained much without violent methods, and we want to continue these tactics.'* As a result of this discussion-the French withdrew their.proposition, declaring, however, that they would submit it another year. The above discussion has an importance even beyond that of showing the harmonious relations which exist in Europe between the trade union and the political movements of the working class. At the present time certain elements in the labor movement are urging the general strike and?direct action- as the sole means competent to emancipate the working class. They set up as'their model the "methods of the French trade unions. ' It may be wel},, therefore, to point out,' in passing, that these methods have not only been, repeatedly repudiated by the international Socialist congresses; they have also been repudiated by the international trade union conferences.- |. • The "last international trade junlon congress was held in'Budapest. James Duncan officially represented the American Federation, of Labor at' that conference, and his most impartial and illuminating, report will suffice to make the rest'of my argument for me: ' "A misguided man--named'Foster, from Chicago, 111.,"' says Duncan, "claiming to represent an,alleged organization in America, called the'Industrial-Workers of the World, had been-for some time in Paris,* and had succeeded in convincing the French .delegates that he represented a labor organization in'America" and-was entitled to be recognized by,the.Secretariat instead of the A. •¥.' of L." representative, He is said to have and in Paris a program "of strong* French' flavor, namely, low dues, no. defense fund, the general strike, revolution.? . . . . ; Evidently his program , was mapped out on French Hnes and cap? tureu the French delegation., - Hehad thereafter taken- his , program from Paris to Berlin,; to .encourage, the GermalTdele^tl^to'sTrppbrrhis'posi-* tion and'pleas. .They, however,'; had nothing in common with;,his'-?tinfoil proposition and his .wind bag methods. Their labor movement is based11 oh a solid foundation,and makes for real progress, so. he .was not In'his element in their country.' . A _''' ) ' •/ v When Foster submitted his creden; tials tp tho - international - conference, "a motion -was made that the Industrial Workers of the,. World .be not admitted to affiliation in the, International Secretariat-as a trade" union center. . . ...' The' Frenchmen^ suggested that, if the Fostor aggregdii-n wore not admitted, that1 the A. P. of L Bhould be kept out -'pf the International Secretariat until both organizations became reconciled to a uniform ■policy.' "After1 .gonoral' discussion,. Foster was given tin opportunity to tell hin own, story In hla"own'way. .-. . Ho clnlmed thnt In America the I. W, W was the only body that organized unskilled workers; that 85 per cent of their Bkll.ed mombors wero n'.eo in the A F. of L, unions; that thoso -in- ions would not admit Socialists and revolutionary forolgnors Into membership; that the pooplo ho represented woro 100 por cont Socialists and revolutionists,'who wore preparing fo" the international ''strlko, which wouU strike terror into the heart of. capitalism." A.. A * 7 A 7. ' After a day lost in discussing the divisions in the American labor move-" ment, ' the conference voted' tinawV mousiy, with the, exception only' of the- French, that the Industrial Workers, of the World be not admitted. Several things are noteworthy in-this action. First, that nearly every delegate was a Socialist, the only* exceptions being the French, who were anarchists, and Duncan, whose politics I do* not know. Second, that most of .the delegates favored industrial, unionism; and, third, that in spite of both these facts, they voted "clown and" out" the self- styled "Socialist," "revolutionary," industrial" union: ■,, * -"-ii j 'This action was taken on the ground that dual unionism will not be tolerated ■ by the * international movement. That there should be no' doubt bf this, "Holland moved that all' trade unions should join their respective national centers "and invited;'the International Trade, Federations and secretariats to admit''those unions who1 are members of their "own national center of trade unions.,' And, further, r to bring pres- sure'to bear upon non-affiliat*ed unions to induce-them to join the .'national center of their "country:* Adopted." This action of the conference, as, well as the jtctioii of the International Socialist', Congress In repudiating the methods of Jthe Industrial Workers of the World,?"cannot,be laid,to personal differences. The .whole question was decided on principle.. Dual .unionism is reason to. the, working class, and the7fact' that those who have-committed .-that- crime call themselves 'So-, cialista does,not'diminish their crime. They.caif.tell Europe of Civic Federation.banquets, and Europe responds: "How'.can.you talk of treason with j our own! guilt so obvious?", "Workers of.the.world,' unite," is not in'tfj- rope a-phase. A It is a vital fact that is, the/most, inspiring and revoluti.*;. ary fact?^politically" and - industrially, that the .world has yet seen. j ' ■ '• . Having;dealt^witti dual unionism," let' us.now/deal with political action. The following-is a good illustration:' "Sweaen'moved'that^the'^conferenee" invites _.t.he ''..'representatives of the .working'classes-in all parliaments!to do a,'.,-in their power in order to get bills •* enacted?into , law - prohibiting night work in all industries' whete.'jit is not absolutely necessary. Adopted." 7 That is'the method used by the trade,union's of.Europe when they want-the Socialist parties to take any legislative action.,. And to this conference that Duncan attended nearly every Spcla'ist party of Europe •sen-, a report of the' actions taken by them' upon the requests made by the previous trade-union conference. Indeed, there is something .inspiring in ,the first phrase.of one' resolution paBSed nt tho Paris* conference. "Tho Trade "Union ' International • Bhall co-operate with the Parliamentary International in>prdor.to .bring about." etc. And tho. ideal Ib not far distant when state, national and international trade unions and SoclallBt parties Bhall fight politically and industrially in all harmony and fellowship for tho ©mancipation of the working claes. > Duncan's fin© report of his visit to' Europo is filled with many Interesting ohporvatlons.

And the reason is pot far to seek. It is. just neglect. Tho chicks are suffering with gapes. , Gapes is caused by what Is commonly known as the gape worm,' and which generally attacks chicks from three to .eight weeks old.o ., The sym-' ptoms are gaping arid opening their mouths as if gaping for breath, and later on,they cough and sneeze as they stand, about in the run, continually gaping until they get weaker and weaker, andJn a few days death puts an end to their sufferings. There ls no doubt'that .these gape .worms are picked up by the, chicks on "damp marsh ground, or from.drinking stagnant water, particularly Inx warm weather, for It Is a well-known fact that where the ground is dry gapes are practically unknown; but, as I said before, they are most prevalent where the ground, is-damp, yor where ttie. ground ,1s damp, or where the chicks have access.to pools of water. The?treatment lies in getting rid' of'the gape -worm from the trachea, and in-preventing the birds from obtaining .-more.' One of tlie most effectual'remedies that r know of is to confine .the birds into a lined bas- ket'or'small box' with a lid on and puff'clouds^ of strong tobacco smoke in.", I'll lthe box-'br, basket with dense smoke* until the chicks cough and sneeze repeatedly; keeping a sharp eye that none' absolutely choke. *_ While there'is no* doubt that-ticks and gapes in.the course of the season carry off "more chicks than all tile other diseases put'together, the most serious-disease that chicks are liable to; and more: especially during the early sumnief is enteric,' which carries off .thousands' annually. , In the- ma- jority* bf.cases.it Is'caused by the birds 'drinking-- sun-warmed * water, ISTRIA L June23th FXNIRITION *° <*»** 5 C^sh Offered for Prizes of $42,000 y 013,000 Attraction Program Including Jimmy Ward with : a Curtis Aeroplane and the Famous Navassar Ladies' Military Band Four East India Elephants and many other features of merit FREIGHT PAID ON ALL ALBERTA EXHIBITS Exhibition Entries Olose June 15th I.

They "want to see the farmer get1 better returns on his produce, because they evidently believe it mean's better times for them too. The Pincher Creek Echo has the idea that this should be a sort of dictatorship, and editorially they sny: • •'And the path leading to this dictatorship is l.oth easy and plain—and only ohe step at a time. The first step is to seek out the nearest local of the*-United Farmers of Alberta and become a paid- up member. "With every farmer enrolled the exe- cutive of the-above organiation can go to Ottawa, knowing full well that their demands "will be perforce auceedcil to by "the legislators- of tlie country." . ' . ' " "' . ' ■* . _ i This question of the farmers .organizing during a time when we are continually, assailed with the extraordinary, prosperity of the farmers must appear somewhat strange to those who look to this country0as a sort, of paradise for those who work. The farmers are realizing that they do not receive :- tlie full value' of their toil- and have discovered that individual action iu tlieir case is just as ridiculous as the same mode'of action by tlie .workers in other industries. Organized effort is now taking hold of the agriculturalists and in Western Canada We find the Grain,Growers' Association- , 'and-the .United Farmers of .Alberta preparing to wrest from the plutocracy a more.equitable share of] the values they create. In the United■ States .rwe find the fruit growers'formed into associations - for. the- marketing of their products, and the same .- system of organization is'taking place in .-British Columbia. , . .','.,.

He-is a worker—a wealth producerA-Vand like the. rest of the workers. he-is discovering lie is. not receiving the social yalue.of his.lab'or.', - jS ' ."'} The farmer,has",been7wont?toAconsider "himself a distinct commodity from ijie^niechanic and laborer, and has riot'yet?,realized .that he.is just as much a wage worker as those directly engaged in industry under" capitalist- development. , The nominal ownership "of his piece of land aids this delusion-and hides the controlling power of capital. "When the farniers understand the law of value and the process by which'they are fobbed of the surplus value they create, then will they see clearly that their-interests are bound - up with'tliosc *of the rest of the''workers and they 'must unite with them to change the economic foundation upon which. present society is based. Production for use instead of for profit appeals just as forcibly to the farmer as to the rest of the workers, and there is'no doubt that their addition"-tp]'the ranks of organized labor .will have a far reaching effect on the political expression of the,people of "Western Canada in the very near future. ;',-," That thev United Farmers of Alberta aro realizing their identity'of .interests with the rest of the workers' is evidenced, by , delegates being appointed* to'attend'the conventions,of various labor organizations, aud the labor bodies sending delegates ,to attend* tlieir conventions. " This, cannot but have the" effect of clearing' away the old prejudices existing in the minds of those who are not brought together so closely as tbe workers on the industrial field, and when ,they unite on the political field' what will happen ? • This is *a question" that will cause the old .party-politicians some uneasiness, especially "when it is observed that these same farmers are studying questions of economics —the ''dismal science!' that even our own provin-' cial representative acknowledges being - ignorant about. Organization is the secret of modern progress and 'that the farmers are lining* up to assert their position amongst the .wealth producers of the country is an extremely .significant phase in-the development,of "The Last Great West."

THE LOCAL IMPROVEMENTS -:—'^-"xi.-.7j.ii-niuiiaiiiai-_\;i J5ajii/^ai.-Uii^_oO"iJr"Lilc-o|jii\.ic~uj._ agricultural development, the effect is to crush,out. the middleman and solidify the opposing forces in - the line-up for the .inevitable struggle that must take 'place over the distribution of surplus value created by the workers and endyed by those who control tlie means of life. • Those who champion the cause of'the farmer arc „ prone to exaggerate the position of* those, who till the soil, and boldly assert that "The farmers can prove that iliey are backbone of country.'' Now this is only,partly true, and whilst it,may have held good at. a certain period of development it is not so widely applicable today. "The backbone" of all countries is in'those who do the useful work, , and imso far as the farmers perform work useful to ' society they .constitute one part of "the backbone;" -' but inasmuch ns a part is not equal to the whole, «it is evident,tlmt tho farmers cannot in thomselvos ' be the "backbone." •'"" Tt .nuKt ahvnys be borne in mind whon discussing present day development that commodities are pro- ■ tluccd socially, and that ns a conscqucnco the vari- .ous divisions of labor are closely intor-reiated, and that however important a certain branch of labor may be it is so only in relation to tlio sum total of all human activity. Without tho- great advances made in industry Uio. Ipt of tho farmer would not obtained' N^OW ,tha't the first .two money, by-laws have been turned down, and as a consequence the improvements? intended "to be carried out shelved, most of.the citizens are asking themselves—that is ihose who are" not "kicking themselves—"Why they did riot vote. True it is that two very useful sums have been voted for much^needed improvements, and-further;" it is also true that the credit of'the city is not robust, but it'is passing strange that the one particular improvement from which the ■ if "> _ Council claims a surplus revenue is should have been turned down! 'We must confess that we are neutral in the matters of this kind,' which should in all cases be decided by the majority of all thc ratepayers and inhabitants of the city, but it is certainly' remarkable that out of six hundred' (about) votes only jsome eighty-seven took thc trouble to visit tho poll. In the first place we are .compelled to ask—How; many, citizens woro aware of'tho fnct that the polling whs to take placo on May 27th?' Granted, all should have known; .but was sufficient publicity given to the fact? Havo the City Fathers discovered how to "advertise" these events? ' Tf they have, and the poll is a, truo expression of opinion and of intorest in theso matters, then it-.can scarcely bo taken as an expression of "confidence" in tlio present Council. If howovor,- and wo are inclined to accept this version, it is a case of not sufficient' notice ov advertising, then it should be a gentle reminder to tho wiseacres that if thoy aro really anxious to'got their measures through thoy must got n fow wrinkles on how to advertise* League games for Saturday, June 8th are: * ', '"■■*. y Coal "Creek vs. Bellevue.

FOISY * Manager In concluding Ms report on the explosion at1'the Jamage pit of tlie' Big-; nail Hill Colliery, Mr? A. S. Redmay'ne', (H. M. Chief Inspector of Mines)-con-, tributes the" following: 7 ~- ; "Note on the Cause,of Spontaneous Combustion in • Coal Mines, and Me-. thods of Dealing with It." . ; ' Districts iri which Uob-Flres Occur.. ,. The" occurrence, of gob fires or the spontaneous Ignition of coal or other highly .carbonaceous matter In- the gobs (goaves, or wastes) of coal'mines, has been an accompaniment' of coal mining in certain districts for very many years. Usually, these fires are restricted to the wastesaor abandoned areas or ,the pillar -wordings of. the mines, but ln some coal mining districts, although on rare occasions, they occur ln the* solid coal on the road- side? Hamstead .colliery,* in South Staffordshire is a notable instance of this. ' In South Staffordshire and Warwickshire, though they have always proved* a troublesome feature ln mining' operations, gob fires have not proved such hazardous occurrences as In North Staffordshire, where, owing to the .existence in the mine of fire damp, the danger attending them is greatly enhanced., „, ° -1 "./,', Gob-fires occur occasionally in other' coal fields. * In-; Yorkshire, though they occur,in several seams, they are comparatively-rare In the really gassy seamsT-^xcept in the Barnsley'Bed tn the Doncasteri district, In" which' dls-- trict'a veryxonsiderable development of the Yorkshire coalfields Is now tak- ing-place. 'Gob fires are also liable to occur in" the" following other "districts, though not to the same extent as' in those" already enumerated—viz., Fifeshire,. -Midlothian,* Lanarkshire, Sutherland.'Shropshlre, Derbyshire and' North Wales., ,_ (1 Tho Cause of Spontaneous Combustion^ Coal occludes gases and at the same time absorbs oxygen from the air, the rate of absorption" being different in respect of different.classes*"of, coal. Thus, for instance, -a Northumbrian steam coal does'not absorb oxygen to anything'ilke the same extent as some Staffordshire and Warwickshire coals,* the'^diffe'rence'" Instills -respect being accounted for* by physical as well as chemical? peculiarities,, and spontaneous-: combustion, is' all but unknown in the mines of Northumberland, whereas in the mines of Staffordshire and War? wickshjre such-fires are of,very com-, mon occurrence;- ■,' * ' y .' ': It used to.be supposed that spontaneous combustion-was the resultanVof the, heat, due to-the oxidation of the pyrites in tlie coal, the sulphide being coverted.lbto the sulphate, but this has been shown to be false.". That the pyrites,' especially if very finely disseminated throughout the coal, is a contributory cause, is? no doubt, .rue, the manner" of the occurrence of the pyrites being more Important than its amount.. The chief cause is, however, the absorption of oxygen by the coal, the carbon and hydrogen of the, latter being attacked by oxygen. The following quotation from,' the report of tho Now South Wales Royal Commission (pago 3) on tho cause of tho dnngers to which vessels .carrying coal are said to be peculiarly liable, and.tho beBt'menns that can bo adopted for removing or lessoning the same, Issued In'1897, may bo'reproduced ns confirming, my; statement as to the cause ,,'of spontaneous combustion- - "Tho following theory of tho spontaneous boating of conl appears to us to bo woll established. ' Coal naturally abBorbB oxygen from' tho air, and , un- dorgoes a process of siow combustion, As this procosB goes on heat ls developed, and tho tompovaturo of tho, coal tondu to.rlso,, Tho activity with which oxygon Is absorbed Increases aa the, tomporaturo rlsoa. .

These places are sometimes kept open and ventilated, and thereby kept cool, and'sometimes packed very tightly, with, sand or ashes and damned off. *It.<is considered necessary in some cases to put in"? good arches in the roadway, some^ times for a''considerable length, the same being kept air-tight by plast'er- ing-or claying'the brickwork.";, (b) If heating .'occurs' in the*, gob or goaf and", the same ,-is accessible, .loading and "sending out* the 'heated material, and filling the excavation tightly with incombustible-material after cooling of the' surroundings, " (c) If the fire has actually broken out and the Ignited material .cannot'be removed, .or a fire may.be suspected and cannot be reached;-damming off the, area'-so as to prevent;'as'far as Possible, all "access of air.*. '*■"''< A''*■ - 7 , * *-. y 2. With?regard to'the prevention^ o\ heating, in . the solid coal:—The manner-of laying out the mine often constitutes7 the'" determining factor." When fire occurs'in'the solid it,.generally originates' in fissures. These fissures-ar,1? formed by-Pressure; consequently, any-attemptsto prevent crush naturally, tend to prevent'fire. •'* ' ? 3.'

Title | The District Ledger |
Publisher | Fernie, B.C. : H.P. Nerwich |
Date Issued | 1912-06-08 |
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. |
