Martin, Joe Lyons, J. Arnold, George Evans, Charles Hunt and J. Arbuckle. In opening the proceedings, .Air. McNeil called the attention of the magistrate to the frequency of car stealing ot the Creek and the assertion rniade by Mr. Burns' successor (S. Alexander) that If ihe had a case fully proven, ■he would give the extreme penalty, namely, six months' hard labor. He (Mr. McNeil) was not there to persecute an innocent man, but if the accused >was found guilty, he hoped that the magistrate .would make an example of this case, and by so doing assist to •staimip out what was a most nefarious crime. J. Arnold, sworn, stated that he was working In No. 1 South, on Jan. 27, with his partner, George Bvans: they loaded six cars from their pUu-e that day, three cars apiece. His purtiu'r ■wns credited wdth two; he marked his cars with chalk on one side and placed his check on tbe other side; he did this because he had lost two cars in the fore part of the month, nnd the JjcheckwfMin^n,_aiiggegt£d ^,Umt__h^J the opposite side to thai upou which the check was fastened.

Replying to a query from Mr. Rudin- cki, with reference to tlie possibility of a car being returned to tbe mine with original chalk marks, Martin said that this was .practically Jmpossi- hle. iThe -boys had strict instructions to rub these marks off when cuts came to the tipple. Replying to a query as to whether one man might have -worked more shifts than another, and- thus have secured more cars, the check- welghmtan stated that 'both men had worked every shift. Charles Hunt, driver, was tho next witness. He stated that he -was driving In 5 right district oa January 37. About 10 sunt, be saw accused at the parting aud spoke to htm, asking him how ho .was getting on; the accused answered him. He thought it strange tbat the accused was at the -parting, for he bad no business in that part of the mine. There were six loaded cars on that trip; he saw chalk (marks on one of the cars and took particular' notice that this came from Arnold's place. The accused could only have h-ad on-e car on the parting at that time..

Both teams had plenty of supporters, and if .the -players had followed the gratuitous advice handert out toy tho** on the fence, there Is no doubt but tlmt the police magistrate would have had a rather busy time hearing cases or manslaughter and homicide. There was no HI feeling, not a bit and most of the Injuries sustained were caused- by a too hasty oc- iluulnUuu'i' with iln- ice.

Tho accused was working In No. ti, right crossing, and he and his ■partner were working In N'o. <5 right. All their -cars went to tbe same parting. George Evans, partner to the previous witness," aworn, stated, that he was credited for all his cars, .but. Arnold was only credited with two; he was not using a chalk mark on bis cars, but saw bla partner mark his cars with chalk, and all their cars went to the same parting.

MAKE YOU HAPPY 'Do -the Locals and Membership of the Western F©deration of Miners: We, your deiagates to the tblnty- tMrd annual eouveation of the American Federation of Labor, herewith submit the following report: There is nothing in the proceedings of that convention that calls feu* a' Lengthy report, aad we think a reference ito the matters in which you are especially interested is sufficient material uf-on which to touch at the present time. Wo.think we are justified -in stating that it-he long-drawn-out fight betiV-een the contending organizations cf s'team •shovel'workers seems-to be nearing an end. Our interest in the matter arises from the fact that in some localities mining is done by steam shovels, and is under the jurisdiction claimed by, r-nd aj--cttei to, the Western Federation of Miners. One of the contending organizations denied us any righit in tha iiremisp-s, as far as men working 011 steam shovels were concerned, and d'oolaral that it would recognize no ■Strike or situation declnrul by the Western Federation of Miners. This organisation is illegally affiliated to the Ami'iPlcan Federation of taber itlirough a charter issued by the Steam Kngluie-er-B. The other organization ls not affiliated, but has been seeking affiliation tor several years. Th-is, owing to objections by the Steam Engineers and tho Illegally affiliated steam shovel mc-n, has been denied them. Contfereiici-s innumerable have been called, at which it was hoped the two orgamlzations could be amalgamated', but invariably occurred -that only rep- resenitaitlves of the American Federation of Labor sent to assist in smoothing out the difference which held the unions "apart. The associalted union, the one which is 'not affiliated, on any job on wliich its jnen were employed, and where our ■members -came in contact with them, always co-operated with us in endeavoring to better the condition of the workers, and in case of strike always responded .to the call and remained (true to the cause. The Los Angelas aqueduct, the Bingham and Ely strikes are notable examples of loyal conduct by the memlbers of the associated unton where our members and organi- ization were involved. * / "A charter is to be granted to air International Union of Steam Shovel iMen not later than July 1, 15)14; and this action, lt ia hoped, will end tM-s long and sometimes -bitter struggle. The most bitter Eight in the convention wa's that in which are interested the contending factions of the Electrical Work-si's. Bach side -designated •tihe other as scab 'organizations, and claims were made that there was abundant proof of the contentions. If a small .particle of the claims made by either'organization are true, it is'very likely (that ho'Sh organizations spent mere time and energy in fighting -each cither than they did in trying to better •the condition of their members. When the 'convention closed there seamed to be no improvement in this state of affairs, 'but since then, we are pleased to note, that a tentative agreement has bean reached in San Francisco, signed and 'approved by those* in authority in I bcdi'factions, which is to be submitted Ito the members of both organizations ifar ratiHiaatiion or rejection.. It is .thought there will be very little or ao 'objection to the p ropo sad terms of set- 1-ftmont. which, If ratified, -will end another of the bitter quarrels in the la- '. bor movement, ami no doubt those who j fought each other sio viciously for the ; past several years will now, when they ! get working together, discover in each j other qualities and -principles they Ut- ; tie expected to find in anyone so -b!t- vterly opposed to them. And now that ;their quarrel is ended, the combatants' I will be stronger in working for the in- •tere&is of labor, and 'those associated with .thorn .will find their work no longer impeded by that d'emonftizlng mid 'SU'loidal struggle. John Mitchell declined to be a can- •tM-iate for re-election to the executive j council. John P. WMte, of the United Mine Workers, was elected to fill the vacancy, and if our organization bad Triad the selection of the man to hold this position, it ctfuld n.ot be batter p'-sasad wi'-bh the result. Frank Duffy was eleteted ;t.o fill the vacancy made by ithe declination of Wm. Hu-ber to he a candidate. Both are from tbe Carpenters. •*< We believe that most-of cur members will •'be pleased to learn that Mart Doivaghue, of the Mont-ana State Federation of Labor, has been* elected as fraternal delegare to Canada to represent .the American Federation of Labor at tlve Canadian Trades Congress. Brotteir Doroaghue Is not a member of the Western Federation of Miners, but Ma firLe.nd.sbip lor it and his loyalty and work for lit- wdien occasion requires, is just as, efficient and just a*s true as if he were one of our own members. The only regret your d-ei'e- eatfs fe.lt sit his election for that honor ls tbat it is a no greater one. For fraternal delegates to the British Trades Council, William D. Mahon of the Street Carmen's Union and Mat- itteew Woll of the Photo Engraveia' Union were elected, and lt is -safe to eay thflit the American labor movement will >be ably represented by them. On the iwlhole, tite convention was a quiet one. Outside of the Electrical Work-sirs' fight there was no serious ccn'teaiticin. Tbe Colorado "ooal miners' strike was indorsed - and the moral -support oJf 'th* Amier-iea'n Federation of Labor was .pledged to it, aiwl a congressional investigation of the conditions out of which it grew and those -existing since its inception -diemanded, ■The strike of the copper miners of Michigan, which our organization is oo-adu citing, was indorsed, an.d the af- fiilJaited unions are urged to pay the voluntary assessment asked tor its support -by the executive council of the American Federation of Labor, it was also urged that unions, friends and syimpiait'kizens raise "money by other means and that further donations -be made to -the end that the struggle now beiing «o henotolly waged in Michigan be prosecute! 'to a successful termination. 'Another resolution was unanimously ad-opi-ted, calling on C'ougre-ss to insd- tuite an invesbigatlon of the strike in Michigan, and for the proper autliorl- ■tios to investigate tih.^ methods by whilch the land on .which are localted the copper mines Avas obtained from the United States government, and that legal proceedings be instituted to compel the rest'oration of that land ■ fro.Uid'uleB.tly obta'ined, and now the location whereon Is .being waged one of the most bitter struggles in the history of tihe labor movement.

"Hold on, tlliere," toterruipts a level- tueadied roughneck, "you got this doped out -wrong. All nougfane-cks afo'-t httt- heanLed, and some -longheaded fellows ■are aggressive. You can't figure out Uidngs tha,t way." > -Holkl on, yourself, levelheaded ■roughneck. We -know we have thia ■doped ouit right. Of -course, some twighnecka are -levelheaded1 like yourself, and a good tn-nsxy longheaded ipeo- p&e Siave a dievil of a temper. IBut that 1-sn'it the ipotmt at all. A» a dae®, in tihe overwhelming majority, the rough- ■necks are people who want to force things through with a rush. It-is either push or bust with them. You go into your roughneck meeting and offer your levelheaded adyice, and iwh»t kind of a hearing will you get? You knqw the style of bouquet that will be bended' to you. The longheaded variety, in the large average, a-dt deliberate*! y, look before ■they leap, lay passion aside, don't want to forte the bend of Fate. A regular roughneck in a longhead meeting can blow up as much as he liik-es; he will make no more impression than a (pufflbaU. Our Two Extremes These two types of people don't act ttogeithier because theiT styles of doing things differ temperamentally. The aggressive roughneck will rather Sight the deliberate longhead than stand jin wish tolm, and- the longhead can't ,-stand' in with the roughneck because the'roughneck won-lt let him, except at ■the eacrlfllce of better judgment A hot tempered longhead, on the other hami, knows that he can't. sway a council of bis likes with his temper. I "Well, what's the drift of this' talk, then," objects ithe -roughneck philosopher. "If the working people can he diLvid.ed into two great camps of "longheads and mmghneicks, who will never , work together, them these catnip® will ^•eta'ch go their own way, do things- in ■their own way, and- fight one another even to .the laist day of the Revolution^, and next day after AV j Sure eno-ugh, so-they will.' And. the queatfion sMll remains: Granted thiat -jjcith sides work tamest-ly far the same" aim, along different noads, whioh one of these sides will do MORE than the sother toward -winning the Revolution? Will the roughneck *bea*t the longhead to it, or wai the longhead -shape tilings bo (that the roughneck won't get. a chance to go into action? Discussing the Future "Thalt will depend upon the enemy,*• guesses the roughneck. "If the business classes are d-omlmated mostly by th-t_ roughneck type, them the right .

If the old party camp is dominated by longhead dodgers, the wonkei« may get a chance to play the longhead game for a -while, but In the wind-up' there will be a glorious mix-up between the roughnecks of both sJdes and the longheads wo-n'it get a -look-In on the fun." Ia that so? Suppose the real fun doea not begin until after the rough- nocka on both sides have scrapped one another to a .standstill, who will decide the battle then?

Lack of Staying Power Roughneck policies cannot be carried through without keeping enthusiasm at white heat, and no one can maintain a high degree ot seal for any length of time. It la the steady, plodding, longhead who can endure the strain and win out.' The roughneck often complains that the modern working class is losing more abd more of the vigor and snap of early days. He mourns over this and looks upon' it as a sign of decay, a surrender to the exfeting (business system, a meek toadying to unessential details of the hour. • The, locishdad sees ?the movement gaining in power and durability in proportion as its individual members get a firm grasp on the fact that a revolution cannot .be made, but develops, and tliat the decisive step will not be a ?-P-eicitacular assault on the business classes, hut the crowning of a series of sibeady transformations of the -present into the future order. This Is not a sign of decay, but of-growth; not an evidence of surrender, but of con- scAous advance toward -success. It is a fact etelly observed all over ■the world that ■ the . desire for diraot kci'ion, and even the sentiment in favor of -strike's tor i)oWtlcal ends, passes -away in the sacme degree in whioh the *polltlcail power of the workers grows .through th-e Socialist party. The Steady vs. the Furious Attack -The syndicalist, direct actionisit, roughneck loses his ground.wherever the Soclaillst panty begins to enforce general demands of the workjng class by fteglslaMon. S trlkes may be indis- pensaible or unavoidable skirmishes of t^"'workers against Individual employers, but against the whole em-ploying class they are futile. The drift of .our times is not in the direction of a worldwide genera! strike for the overthrow of the extetiirg business system, although great strikes will -occur in the future, as they have in the past, to bring some particular employers to tlmt.

Slow but Sure This work Is tedious, not very showy, positively disgusting to the roughneck. Yet it must he done, for It Is the most important work for ths success of the plain people's revolution. Nobody can do it but the loag- head. He will endure and survive in the struggle for honors In the Revolution, (When the roughneck, no longer showing off his startling revolutionary virtue, shall make a noise far in tho rear, where the mossbacks of the old order dweill in hoary oblivion. The ■work of the longhead will go on, a little differently, the "day after the Ke- volution," and the roughnecks will lag behind and knock the builder, as usual. —Xew York Call.

No wonder dyspeptic men and women are al wa ys weak and ailing—they're -starved and often poisoned too. Starved, mind you, not ior lack of -, food, but because they don't digest the food they eat. Poisoned, -not by eating bad food, but because,, tn«.ri stomachs axe weak aaid their bowels inactive, and so the food they eat ferments and gives off poisonous gases which are carried by the Wood • stream to every part of the body. It is because Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup possesses in a renvarka-ble degree the power to tone strengthen and regulate the action of the digestive organs—the stomach, liver and bowels -rthat it is still, after forty years' testing, the best known and most successful remedy for Indigestion, constipation, biliousness and the many distressing ailments which are traceahle to a weak or disordered condition of thes« important organs. Success breeds tatf- tators. and thare are many so-called substitutes for Mother .ftelael's -Curative Syrup, but none of them contain the combination nf more than ten herbal extracts upon which the restorative and ouratlve value of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup dt-pends. tf you suffer from Indigestion, and wish to give Mother Selgers Curative Syrup a trial, be sure you get the genuine -i-rtlcle.

Telephone No. 48 Post Office Box No. 380 -«W Tip: BACK TO THE LAND SOLUTION Last week we criticized the Liberal policy of encouraging the worker to take up land and'work the same and raise stock or grain; we also expressed grave doubts tis to whether this would really reduce the cost of living. Since writing last week, we cannot admit convention to the Liberals' contention, neither can wc agree that "back''to the land" will help matteivs to -any extent. Granted that it may in a few individual cases produce good results, and as a consequence,'.politicians..may glean a modicum of satisfaction, but, of course, a maximum of political publicity. '-■•■ The other day we 'happened upon a statement in The Victoria Times credited to Pat Burns, f>f meat packing fame, wherein l'at is giv(?n as staling that if people would return to the hind and invest, their money in agricultural pursuits, and quit "swapping" real estate., they-would better their conditions, reduce the cost of living and save him (Pat) sending to Australia and New Zealand for butter, eggs, etc. To the superficial olwserver, this may sound excellent logic, but it has been worn s^ threadbare, that little is required in rebuttal. However, there k one very saliant point, and this gives considerable encouragement to 'the political economist who has realized for some time that wealth is produced only by labor, from a bountious nature. This is one of the surest signs of progress that we have met with, and it certainly infused us with hope of enlightening the petty liourgcois who is invariably very confused in his knowledge and interpretation of values. Some years ago, before reaching this Dominion of Canada, we will confess that our own pipe dream of the future was a small holding of ten or twenty j of both parties today ^^rc-spfi'portion jallotctl"to"rai-snig~thosp~nrarvT,l lous crops which the publicity man and lecturer described to us; another portion to bc devoted to the raising of thoroughbred poultry, while the sale of hen- fruit, grain and sun-dry other produce was to amass us a fortune within five or six years. It Mas a beautiful sylvan picture, iii which independence, freedom from the thralldom of service, and a neat competence for old age, figured. Now. to make another confession, we candidly admit that the imbibing of emigration literature was responsible in no small degree for our unsophisticated condition of mind, and further, a slight acquaintance with llie small Ji-oWer in the south of France may have also beon responsible in a leaser degree. To return to Pat and his contention .that the small holder will reduce the cost of living. Tn flic first place, Mr. Bums is not going to buy (!anndinn produce if it costs him moro than what he pays for tho same article, wJiothor it be from Austral hi. Xew Zealand or Tiinbuetoo. Iio is going to purchase in the 1-heapent market, not so much because he wants to. but because, good business man that ho is, he will be compelled lo. This eliminates the sentimental element of Mr. Munis' contention, and briiiKM us ba«k to the -concreto. Of courae, we do not presume that Mr. Burns ever made any money nt "swapping" real estate; we do not even know, and certainly do not care. hut even he will admit that his Iiuk'hich* has been HCfected, and not unfavorably, by tihe increased value of real catate. No doubt the balance sheet of the Burns oompauy makes a generous allowance for the incnwMted value of xitiw whereon their biwi- jnw house* are built. Ak ii result of advertising. more people have -conic to Western Canada, ami consequently more meat Iiiih been sold, therefor« l'at should not have much kick about the worker ttHiuhlitiK in real estate. Of course, Mr. Burns is "io a (Hisitiou to be virtuous no far as the neeesalij of gambling is conccrui'd, but we tire not nt all iu •the ttame position. It is not -strange that a iiuin worth millions of dollai* should realize that the v-uiililiiik' in real estate is likely to reflect upon the iiitleiu'* cntlit. nud were we iii Mr. Bums' position. tntr views and expression woiild be in accord, bill we are not, nnd Ibe bulk of Hie populism nu thi* continent is not, therefore their views are divergent —Pat~'Btirns-kntMVs-thiit-itnvill_n*ot_pay_th\j_«maH' agriculturist to produce potatoes and sell at $G.OO to $8.00 per ton F. O. H. That i.s what many sold their potaitoc crop for last year. It does not pay at present, for the railway companies-have to get their pickings before "Pat" gets a look-in. And the'land, speculator has grabbed his bunch before the agriculturist got a start, and if he has not. well the latter is just a "renter," 'or a little better. No, Mr. Burns realizes that there is something deeper than the reasons he gives for the present., conditions, but like many more he jibs at the remedy. THE CONVENTION way and mailed on Dec. 10 last, per tine Distiiot office; Fernie, to Wan. -Green, Iatenm-tional secretarjj-treasr urer, Indianapolis: By mistake, however, tlie appli-eatdon^got filed at the District office, ana as Secretary Green did .not receive it ibefore Jan. 30 the Local was put on ithe list of delinquents. .Since then the matter has been straightened but and, of course, •it -wil'll H>e -missing from the next list. Owing to Dr. Detaoiey* leaving here a few weeks ago, a resolution, .was passed instructing. the secretary .to write Dr. Connor, Phwiher Oreek, who holds the practd'te, -urging him to place a. miedlicail ipraiatitioner other than Dr. Dedane/ here at hl-s earliest convenience. MICHEL NOTES Mr. Burns., or his ancestors, originated, no doubt, ] tor «»oaera>tion was made in tiie usual from that most "distressful eoiinthry " to the west of Breat Britain, and here, strange to say, in the south of Ireland, agriculture reigns supreme, and likewise distress and discontent. Granted this is not. the same*.in all agricultural countries, but it is the condition that prevails in the majority. In the south of France climatic and soil conditions are altogether different from those existing in Ireland. The French peasantry have a climate as nearly ideal as possible to get on old Mother Earth; their frugality and thriftiness is acknowledged by all. Here the farmer can raise two, three, four, and in some cases even five crops a year, and it must be admitted that the agriculturist in this' part of the world gives a splendid example to other countries. The marketing facilities for the French peasantry are also remarkably good, and he has not oidy the whole of France, but a considerable portion of his produce finds a ready sale in London and other towns in Great Britain. Still, while it is admittsl that conditions fmm an agricultural viewpoint are as nearly perfect as possible, there are very few- moneyed-among, .these'.small holders, and were it not for their, remarkable .perspicacity in placing their savings in gilt edged loans and securities many of them would not be in the position of semi- independence they are today. In spite of tliis, the cost of living in France is advancing more rapidly than in any other European country, and only last year the French woman arose in revolt'and-demanded of the government that they take immediate action to reduce the cost of necessities, and so vigorous was their protest.., that the government was compelled to call out the militia to handle the situation. This, in itself, should convince those ..advocates of tlie Liberal policy, that "baek to the land" does not reduce the cost of living. Just so long as Pat Burns has sufficient cold storage in which to preserve his eggs, butter and meat, so long will he and other packers be able to tide over the bad crop periods, and control the markets. They will pay the' purchaser not what he wants, but what market conditions will allow them, or u little less. We have personally no feeling against Mr. Burns or any other member' bf his cass. They have reached that stage when virtue is not a necessity, but a luxury. They arc able to point out to the worker the evils of speculation, although daily engaged in the same themselves. Their speculations have gone beyond the wild catting scheme. One million dollars invested by them at five per cent will produce a very comfortable income. Five hundred dollars invested by the worker at five per cent will secure him a decent suit of clothes. That is the position It is au inspiring sight to watch the representatives of the working class -deliberating upon, intolli- gently discussing and finally deciding on the best method to pursue on the many difficult questions that come before them; significant of the future of that claim, for it is in such great deliberative meetings that they will equip themselves for the respon- sibilitics that imist eventually rest upon their shoulders. We find in this twentyfourth convention an ut- j tor absonee of that factional feeling that unfortunately marked nonj« of our former meetings. Differences of opinions there arc, many of thein; and we would deplore the absence of such $ but they are based entirely on the views of the disputants as to the best policy to pursue on thc particular question in debate. There is not a sign of personal auiuius tf factional or sectional prejudice. The high plane on which the present .'(inventinn \>. being conducted will inevitably accelerate the lorward inarch of the hosts of labor. United, vt% turn give all of our attention to the ureal work still before its, Wc can irive all the power of onr combined for«cs to aid those of our brother** who are still struggling ?u the a by** of industrial anurehy.

Red Riding Hood and a driver. There wew two hockey games last week in which Frank took part, one at Ilellevus on Friday night an exhibition gnme. It was one of those games that the player* never stopped from rtan to finish, as thew were no offtrfdes. The players discovered • n««w rwfu-rw* in rHo jn-rwo nt Mr, flci* ly, who looked after the goal* scored. Result: IWIsvue won.

I Miss Blanche Hilling has gone to j Lethbridge to the business college. On Saturday, Jan. 28, the trustees of the (Coleman School Board in conjunction with the medical officer of health, Dr. Donnely, met to devise -some .means to stpp an epidemic of scarlet fever that 1s somewhat more or less •prevalent Just now in Coleman. On Monday night, the trustees had the school -fumigated' under the supervision of Mr. Percy Willlmott and Mr. Stokes, the janitbr. As a consequence the school has been closed for two day^t. A charge was laid against Mrs.C. Waliholm tor allowing her little daughter Olga to go into a house quarantined for scarlet fever. The magistrate imposed a fine of $2 and costs. He Also asked that the mauler be published, pointing out to the public the seriousness of violating the Health Act and stating that, any futur.e convictions of this nature -would "be more seriously dealt with. On Saturday night there appears to have been some lively doings in Bush- town and It was not pay day either. Four Polapders got into a serious mix up for some time and made matters hum, and for endeavoring to knock one another out a la Gunboat they appeared before the magistrate and each was fined $3 and costs. On Monday night, Feb. 2, a (painful accident occurred in the McGillivray Creek Coal Company's mine (Ca^bon- participating in a three days' holiday. The value of the United Mine Workers' organization has not as yet been real- |dzed. The Passburg colliery has been closed 'indefinitely since week last Wednesday owing to shortage of orders, but there aire a few miners working ou development work. It seems -strange that we cannot find out through the columns of the Ledger tixo true position of eacn camp, whether they m^ working full or half timo. I 'believe that the information required Would he .beneficial io a large num'ber of our membership, who are minus a job.

I The Passburg Ma,le Voice Party are making strenuous efforts to come to sha'pe for the Welsh Eldteddfod, •wbldli is to take place in Calgary next tMarch. It is undoubtedly the intentions of the above iiiarty to hold various concerts throughout the Pass in order to ob- itadn a little finance to carry them through and .we hope that they, will toe well <pa>troniizad. The Passburg mine has been idile since the 22nd of January, with the exception of a few men, and the haulage worked ahout -three days since olosing down. It seems that the position of the coal .mines is rather a severe one this-.'winter, because nearly every caiup Is only being operated two or three days a *<week and there are plenty of miners in each camp waiting to be accommodated with any kind of work. Mr. Richard Beard was a visitor to Michel, B.C.. -last Friday. We are "given to understand tliat Dick intends to take his family and stay permanently at that caonp. Mr. J. Waruilllgan, accompanied by Alias B. Lee and B. WililMe, came in from ithe Xorth Fork Shturday evening to ipartioipate in the hard time dance. But when .the truth iwas told that It took /place on Friday evening, they were greatLy disaixpoihted but nevertheless they stayed until Sunday afternoon. The 'hand time dance, which iwas held at PasShurg on the 30th of January, was a huge success. It is difficult 'to Hind any other word to adequately express how successful It was. The best of patronage was given by the oute'de camps. The Judges iwere for the best hobo and gipsy, Mr. J. Kerr, J. B. Thomas, T. Leyshon awards .p^^liMgJJifi^s-U.yej^pi-i*?^-to~MfrJack-How^ ' ellis, and for the best gipsy awara given to Mrs. T. Leyshon. The Judges in tlie prize wadtz .were Mr. J, Kerr, R. C. Beard and T. Leyshon, awarding the prize to iMr. Xat Evans and Miss Jessie Duncan, hut Mr. Evans declined to accept the prize and., the Judges had no alternative but award the next heat with the prize, and It was .presented to Mr. Evan Hughes and Mrs. T. Knowles. Supper \jjas served at 12 o'clock and dancing* continued' for some hours 'later. The Coram Plcton orchestra was ln attendance. Mr. T. Duncan, of the Pas»burg Hostel, is still unable to leave his bed* wi- ferinfe--w1th acute rheumatism in the legs. A miner of PasiJburg was taken to tbe police barracks at Bellevue on Friday last on suspicion of robbing a friend of $610. It seems that the evidence given on Saturday at tho police oourt wae strong against him, and finally the prisoner woe taken to Macleod to take his trial at the assizes, Bill Mudri, a Russian of Passburg. was fined 117 at, the police court on Friday law, for threatening to shoot his friend, .who lost S6I0, This they call friendship In reality. Mr. Fred Fowler, the Passburg hair dresser, took a flashlight picture of the well dressed audience who were in attendance at the hard time dance. Hello, Pred, know nny of them? What the Obtwrvpr observed was this: A tramp undertook the pleasure of accompanying a gipNy to the hard time dance, who naturally, und<»r the clroumstattfies, woro a pslr of spur*, ami while dancing the kIw -found ott'. that they were dsngerons <o w<«ar while taking In th« Anno** and ftrn'lv removed them.

We have in our .midst a Nova Scotia miner iwho is,not very favorable to unionism, but nevertheless when he signed the Check-off agreeing to become a member of the United Mine Workera of America afterwards refused to pay any dues. If this indi- "Vidiuai has not sufficient letters behind his name to .become a good union miaa. he has sufficient 1. A. M. I. E. to become a professional sucker to any coail oonporation in this district. We don't care,to dirty a union i»aper with his name, hut a good roasting may do lilm some good; civility and persuasion with actual facts cannot move him. Our secretary was with us here on Friday last organizing, but there 13 little work -to be done Bince the slack times commenced. If this is going to continue .we will have to visit the soup kitchen. The industrial struggle which we are involved in is undoubtedly a struggle between the rich man and the mid- die man, tho former endeavoring .with aM Ms energy to squeeze the life out of the small capitalist and as a result the weakest 4s forced out of his share and accepts what Is offered to him. We can readily see that the weakest of the rich are joining the ranks of the proletariat daily and consequently we shall find ourselves In the grip of men, monopolizing every industry in the country. This seems to he favor*- able to our present government, and it is noteworthy that in all forms of government final authority in determining the relations of man to man, in determining .what a people may do and what they may not do, Is vested In from one to a few persons who are in no wise directly responsible to a constituency. It is the function of the beneficiaries always In command of the organized powers to see to it that no such authority is bestowed upon the masses. We are today living In a land of (plenty but forced to accept a .pittance -for our labor power, and the only commodity which we do possess Is not required today, therefore we have the right to starve. However, tiie unpractical government of the dominion are unable to overcome and assist the indigence state of the masses.

John U. Prentice, fire boss, made an excellent chairman, and tlie audience showed .their appreciation of his services by according him a very hearty vote of thaniks at the -close of the oon-eert. In his open-lug remarks the chairman referred- to Burns as the most genuine poet that ever lived, for he not only -possessed the natural gift to string rhymes together, hut whatever touched his heart, or jarred his nerves, by a sort of necessity in his nature found utterance in verse, song or satire as the occasion -called for.

McCulloch, sul., 'Miss A- Malcolm, Mrs. Moore, J ton Loughran, Mrs.-Muir, J. Crawford, the Misses McDonald, Miss Smith, John Loughran. Most of the above artists were encored and responded. Votos of [thanlds to the -committee and others brought the entertainment to a close. The concert was followed by an excellent supper and the repast was so arranged that one half of the audience were -dtoing while the other half .were dancing. iMrs. Cameron presided at (Continued on page four) Realty Co.

So this is how the -matter starnds. .When the power tihait is now in tihe (hands of Morgan was in the hands of a (multitude of smaller capitalists, tho crisis cam© just as it does now, with iMorgan wielding the power. tonsequently, ite must have *beaa because of some of the following; reasons: That tlie capitalists aforemeni- iioned did not use their power to st°P ipantcs; or, that tliey did not want to .use it for that purpose; or that they ■d-elii-be-rait-sly brought on the crisis with it, as (Morgan is now charged with doing; or that the power they (had'was not suffkieii't for either purpose; or, finally, 'that they had no such power, that their fancied .power was aii illusion. A.nd as it is -the 'same alleged power and 'Mie some quantity of it, the sumo reason's may 'be applied to crises occurring und'e-r Morgan's alleged domin-" ! ation. j All this is the old persistent illusion of "free ;will," with 1 which so many : Serialises, as ws-U as non-Socialists, « are still obsessed. Identifying the Plunderer Morgan looks big enough to start a P |_i}3J».l.ff-;—n.'ihaii_JU-_4*inm»¥a iv-fl am h.l-m prn.h sion that the latter must be the catise of -the former. But it must ibe noted that previous industrial depressions occurred long before any one or two girou'ps of capitalists controlled' finance, and also .that industrial depressions occur in European countries, such as Germany and England, without being -ureluded toy -financial panics. In these latter countries ithe idea of holding amy particular capitalist fi- nanciep responsible for the industrial depression is never -thought of. Germany and England experienced-.the saimie -industrial -depression in 1907 as In this country, and as that condition in itihose countries -was not precluded by a iflnanclal panic before .a 'period of industrial depression, is due mainly to wlhait the monetary sharps call faulty 'banking systems, lack of elastic currency, and eo forth, and^-tfoaJt, i&xe^o things -remedied, it, is not at all a necessary prelude to a period! of Indus-, trial dSepressl-on, much less the cause of it ' * 7'' s/7'yA r-: A Feast aa Well as a Famine It imist ibe borne in mind that ovory such period in this, and, for that malt*- 'ter, every other capitalist community, is .the open season for the bigger plutocrats to devour their weaker bretlh- rea /iLeavln<g the effect upon 'the wage (workers aside for the -moment, such, ipedods may be described as the oannibal feasts of capitalism.' This 'has -always happened, but It has not become a .matter of general notice in -previous crises, for the reason that the eaters were fairly numerous; There -was a large number of fair sized caipl'taMsts devouring a larger number of little ones. But now that the eaters are-fewer in nuni-ber, and much larger In size, we notice them more particularly aad accuse them of deliberately planning tihe feast When iMorgan appears to -be alimost .the sole gourmand, naturally -She accusation seems -still better Hounded. In short, tVh crisis Is the period jwhen the process of cen*- traJizatian is most rapidly put throughr and centralization is the natural, imav- itahle tendency of capitalism. Th© in- diu-striai depression Is not the result of concentration, ,but vice versa, concentration ls otse of the results of indus- tdaJ depression. Answering an Assumption And now the question may be asked, Wihy did "those lii control of money capital deprive 'manufacturers—-industrial capitalists—of the money for tlie conduct of the industry, and thus bring it to a -halt" ? Is not this deprivation and the ensuing panic and industrial depression to be clearly laid at the door of our hypothetical Morgan? Now, let us see. Passing over the wrong use of the word "deprive" here^ a*nd substituting "withhold" instead, wihy did the financial capitalists do it? Is it true that a financial capitalist loans money to an industrial capitalist tor the primary purpose of "conducting industry"? No. It Ls not true. Tlie .primary purpose of the financial seuL He is only- Interested ia -that object. The conducting of industry by the 'other fellow is a secondary consideration to him altogether. The financial capitalist is, first of aii, concerned iwith conducting his own industry and getting the most from his loan. He is looking -after his,own profits, not tihe otiher fellow's.' He doesn't icare whefiher tlie other fellow makes aay profits for 'himself or not. If the other fellow' can -make profits for him, that is about all he cares tor. Burt At must be borne in mind that if the other fellow cannot anak-^ profit at alt, either for himself or his cred itor, tihe latter will not loan money at all. (He im-ust first toe .satisfied tbat his interest and (principal are secure before he will- advance money, li he is Tuat so satisfied, how is he to be hlameicfc, aocomd^ng to the laws of -business, if he does not advance it? No business man, great or smalt, -from - Morgan down to the pettiest loan oha^rto, will advance cash to a oonoern whiidh She sees te^faiUng. H-e knows ihe (runs a risk of losing tihe -cash. And in every case wfhere he do-eo toan> foe must have -the property ol the industrial (capitalist—<hls plants, machinery, mines or what not, as security. If the loan cannot ibe repaid he must ta*He them, just as a 'pawnbroker holds on to -the unredeemed pledge. (Continued next week) The National Association of Manufacturers, (which dias been convicted of seeking to corrupt congress ln the interest of big business, bas set aside one mayor in Indianapolis, tos national ■headquarters, and put another In that will do its will more perfectly. Government by big 'business -seems to be tbe idea of those wlio oppose -political and Industrial democracy. ,. Can The Capitalist Create or Avert Industrial Crises?

The Socialist Position And what does Socialism say? It does not matter, of course, ln tlie 1-east, if all thia Is true, but we might i note in passing, the Socialist view to ithe contrary. Marx, for instance, declares that in the final days of capitalism, the productive forces coiwtrol tihetar owners Instead of being controlled'by thenn, and that the capitalist debacle comes when theBe forces become utterly unoon« tradable. Production, he continues, will not stay within the fetters in which capitalism has confined it. It will burst them as frost bursts and (liRlnte«rates the solid rock. It will burst thero despite the capitalists. The fact tliat Marx declares that in those iiays "one capitalist kills many," undoubtedly connotes .power, but not necessarily power over the capitalist system Itt nlf. That ts a different matter. That -one capitalist kill* many, Is not. by any means, the same thing as saying that the same capitalist has powir to keep the -capitalist system alive We refer our readers to the stand- i urd tiocialtat literature ou this subject, the works of Marx. Knsels, Kautsky and others, whioh. fer lack of »!>ac«\ w« cannot quote here verbatim. The economics of Socialism literally teem n!t.'i this Idea--the Irresistible forw of economic evolutlon—ln fuel.

And the evidence against Morgan seems practically es clear and convincing to meet of us.

F'rom the r€i3olu,tioi;s tliat have already been inttrociuced', it is reasonable to conclude t&ait the presEiiit convention will be PTC-bahly one of the most important an'd iflar-reaching -that has ,ever -been held in the -history of the organization. Tdia qu'e&Lion of dnidustrial uniouism has heen (befiore the convention and the -speeches that have been made indicate that the delagates realize the iinip-ctaicy of craft organizations in dealing with tl« giant comhlnationis thait are using every/w-eapon to desitroy the -la*bor movement. In 'the delibera- tjoniS of itBie ccnveint-ion, some very caustic coiinnients were made relative to the action of ithe American Federation "of Labor in placing John P. White as sewnth vice president of the A. F. of L. 'through the resignation of John Mitchell. (Mitchell occupied! the place of second' vice president, and the delegates hloki that President 'White was entitled' to fill the place occupied by Mditche-U, and that his election as seventh vice president was an insult to the United Mine Workers of^Amer- 1-oa. *:'. ',, JThe convention commended. White for his refusal to aiccept the office of sevcnith vice .president. The con-ven- tipn has'had .before It several resolutions "urging tliat the headquarters' of the organization be removed from Indianapolis. Such resolutions have grown out of the enmity shown towards organized labor by Big Business in Indianapolis during' the recent strikes to that city.—Miners Magazine. The -strike Is still on at the Queen mine near Ymir, British Columbia. All miners are -urged to stay away until strike is iwon.

Title | The District Ledger |
Publisher | Fernie, B.C. : F.H Newnham |
Date Issued | 1914-02-07 |
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. |
