Sub-district No. 1 celebrate in Fernie and Sub-district No. 4 will hold their celebration at Bankhead. The speakers for Fernie will be Parker "Williams, M: M. P., of Ladv- smith, Vancouver Island., and John Loughran, see. He-aver Mines. The oratorical'capabilities'of Parker Williams we too well known to need an,\ advertising from us. Those who have read Lis .speeches in the Provincial house will appreciate his visit, and it is to be hoped that both Hosmer and Michel will be well represented. John Loughran comes with a reputation from the Old Country, although he lias been a resident in Canada for some years. John has addressed some of the largest, labor gatherings in the Old Country, and can hand out a line of talk that is not only straight to the point, but straight from the shoulder." J. D. Harrington, well known to Fernie and at the Coast, will speak at'Bankhead-On the 1st. J. D. is one of the brightest and most convincing speakers that has ever been heard in B.C, and in spite of a period of hibernation iVstill able to hold an audience when speaking on strictly economic or labor topics. The list appended is the result of collection^ to date. There are still a number of others to be seen, and we have not the slightest doubt that the list will be considerably augmented before the collectors quit.

BOXING CONTEST The clone boxing contest between Cy- Scott, ot Victoria, and Dick Marshall, of Fernie, which will be brought, off in the Orpheum on Monday evening, April 1.1th, has every promise of being the most interesting: event ever witnessed in this burg. As most fans will remember, these two lads fought fifteen rounds las-l July. ■Sjid_*^ft-3r--£— ■oTue!l!n°f c?r*^gt qeot From our advertising columns it will ,be noticed that Wm. Dicken has bought and installed a power rock crusher, capable of crushing 30 yards of rock per day, and is offering crushed rock (all grades) for sale. This is a very useful addition to the town and builders will undoubtedly avail themselves of this opportunity to secure good gravel for concrete and other •building purposes. A 15 h. p. oil engine will supply motive power for the crusher. HARD TIMES SALE (Messrs. kefoury announce a big hard times sale and have cut prices considerably. Their slogan is "We ■want to sell—we want the money." Some real genuine bargains are offered and readers should take note of date, Saturday, April ISth.

I want to say to the public that I am an American citizen. 1 have nevet:.1 broken a law in my life, and 1 claim the right of an American citizen to go where I please so long as I do not violate the law. The courts of Las Animas and Huerfano are open and unobstructed in the transaction of business, yet Governor Ammons. and his Peabody appointee, General Chase, refuse to carry me before any court, and refuse to make any charge against me. I ask the press to let the nation know of my treatment, and to say to my friends, whom, thank Gode, l number by the thousands, throughout the United States and Mexico, that not even my incarceration in a damp underground dungeon will make me give up the fight in which I am engaged for liberty and for the rights of the working people. Of course, I long to be out of prison. To be shut from the sunlight is not pleasant, but John Bun- yan, John Brown, and others, were kept in jail quite a while, and I shall stand firm. To be in prison is no disgrace. In all my strike experiences I have seen no horrors equal to those perpetrated by General Chase and his corps of Baldwin-Feltz detectives that are now enlisted in the militia. My (iod—iwlten is it to stop? I have only to close my eyes to see the hot tears (Special Correspondence) DENVER, Colo., April 4.—Driven ,wild by their exposure before the Congressional Committee, the Colorado Mounted Cossacks are running amuck in tlieir terrorizing misrule of the strike zone. Almost every night the tent colonies are surrounded and the miners and their families lie awake in fear of their lives while the machine guns passing are trained ou their homes. Only last week four militiamen robbed -the saloon at Suffield and then shot up the tent colony. The prostituted press'of Trinidad has been agitating violence against the miners and the strikers are daily anticipating the militia and hired assassins of the operators to make a murderous assault upon them. "Jolm I). gives $1,000,000. for aid of beasts," was the interesting announcement made to the country Tuesday, and yet lie' says that to give the Colorado coal miners a wage increase of 10 per cent would put lilm out of business. In the same connection it is well to remember that before the strike was called he said he would spend $5,000,000 to prevent the Colorado coal miners from getting this increase. How long will the laboring people of the country reconcile themselves to these outrageous conditions?

But the anti-authorltanlans demand that the political State shall be abolished at one 'blow, even hesfore the abolition of the social conditions that created lt. They demand that the first act of the social revolution shall be the aiboHtlon of authority. Have you ever witnessed a revolution, gentlemen? A revolution Is certainly the most authoritative 'thing that there Is, an act by which a portion of the population forces its will upon the other portion by rifles, -bayonets and cannon* all very authoritative means. Aiid ihe victorious party must maintain Its rule by the terror that Its wenpons Inspire In thp reactionaries. And If the Paris Commune had not made use of the authority of an armed people against the bourgeoisie, would It have lasted Ioniser than n day? Conversely, can we not reproach It for having used too little of his authority? Hence we face an in- evluble alternative: either tiie anti- ntitliorltariiiiis do not themselves know what ihey are talklmt about, and in that case Uicy are ouiy cruaiing confu- slon, or they do fcnow, and In that case limy are iKtrayln* the cause of the proletariat, lu either case they nre only serving the reaction.™ The New Review.

The attempt to discredit measures of social advance 'by calling them Socialistic is proving so futile that wise reactionaries are driven to other tactics. The time is just about here for mild reformers to seek credit .for their schemes by calling them Socialistic. There is abroad in the land a good- natured complacency, which bunches into one happy group all measures of social welfare' and tries to make it appear that it matters little what a man's social creed is, provided he really means well. We are becoming familiar with variegated attempts to formulate a social program on which 4very "good citizen" can stand and work, no matter what notions he may •have as to the trend of social evolution or the desirable direction of social advance. It Is almost taken for granted that if the proper oharm can be hit upon .we shall see Anarchist, Socialist, Industrialist, Individualist, and Capitalist in benign rapport. And it •is in the name of science that such vapory, visions are thrust upon us. If due care is not exercised, the workers •for social betterment will- be tangled into a nondescript muddle very gratifying to the wdelders of privilege. The congratulations heaped upon opportunism in the Socialist ranks are but evidences of this new nightmare that is impending. Not long since an eminent economist ridiculed a subordinate who felt called upon to battle as a Socialist. "Now, see here," said the great man, "you believe in this, and that,-and the ■otfyer thing. So do I. You want to •work for them. So do I. But I don't call myself a Socialist. And what's the use of your flying the red flag, and mouthing re volution?" Thia incident is a fair example of prevailing confusion. The answer is easy. The young man should have answered his eminent superior thus: "We -both want to go in a certain direction., I flock with those that'are pushing with all their might in |hat direction: You, in your unwillingness'to join us, find no alternative save co-ofieration with those that are being unwillingly dragged toward Socialism, or are going part way with the muddled notion that somehow or other they may thus avoid going the whole way." The one ■was working with those that believed .with him. The other was thrown into a crowd that largely • resented his trend. .But tills was more comfortable, of course, than to wear the red. It is just at this point that a clearing ly when it is agreed to impose equal conditions 'by law upon all employers of labor, does it become evident to all open-eyed capitalists that it pays to make these conditions increasingly stiff, in order to elevate the efficiency of the human chattels to the desired point. This point of view, sets the measure to the progress of reform, under capitalism. The matter may be made perfectly intelligible by applying to capitalist reform the well-known economic category, the law of diminishing returns. We -inay state it thus: It will .pay caipitalists to enact reforms improving the est, and' particularly bf class interest, the capitalist that, opposes legislation for the betterment of the life conditions of the wage-slave is a fool, because, forsooth, lean cattle without shelter from the blast will not fill the drover's pocketbook. Let us see which is the fool. Begin with the matter of industrial education. Capitalists now realize that it does not pay to keep all the workers densely, ignorant. The capitalists spirit Is indeed, pushing vocational training of a narrow type, designed 4,0 fit tlie coming generation of poor for doing in a menial way the conditions of labor, so long as the menial labor that their menial fathers money thus sacrificed pays normal are now doing. But the intention is dividends in increased efficiency. But the point will <be readied presently where an addition to the well-being of that they shall do it more effectively in order to pile up the dollars faster for their masters. Corporations are la-bor will add'a diminishing increment (even using the public school system to its' efficiency, and presently would In order to secure a race of trained cease to increase that efficiency in any appreciable degree. As soon as reform reaches the point where additional outlay In reform will not pay operators. This is the road to industrial efficiency. American capitalism must take it, or lose its advantage over the capitalism of Europe. But normal dividends to the capitalist, one!our plutocratic overseers have not yet of two things must happen. Reform jworked out all the consequences that must cease, or capitalism is under-! lurk in their schemes of education, mined. When the point is passed at They are perhaps unaware that even which reform ceases to 'be profitable to capital, the movement ceases to be reform and .becomes revolution. Capitalism is rejected. Socialism is under way. This is the limit of reform under capitalism. We arrive thus at a critierion that enables us to discriminate between reformer and revolutionist. The man that proposes to 'better social conditions only up to the point at which additional betterment will cease to pay Ihe capitalist is a reformer. The'man that proposes to continue social improvement indefinitely, not caring what happens to the capitalist as such, Is a revolutionist. At what stage is social reform at prest-nt? Evidently we are just entering upon the period whose dominant characteristic will be a shrewd recognition on the part of capital that, "welfare Vork" in every sense is, if not overdone, a paying proposition. Some capitalists have recognized this fact in the past. 'But the bulk of the cap- REAL WAGES 1912 105.4 104.3 104.7 100.4 100.8 That "real wages" in London dropped by 5 per cent .between 1900 and 1912 was the conclusion arrived at in a paper read by Mrs. Frances Wood before the Royal Statistical Society recently; The president, Prof. F. Y. EMgeworth, was in the chair. The results obtained under the various sections were summarized in the following table: Average, 1900-12—100 1900 Retail food prices 97.2 Cost of living 97.5 Wages .<*. 103.7 "Real wages" 106.4 Consumption per head. 102 (United Kingdom) According to the present investigation, between 1900 and 1912 retail prices in London increased by aibout 8 per cent. During this period■'wages had not kept pace with prices, even when the increase which took place in 1912 was Included. While the cost of living increased by 7 per cent, wages, when changes in the amount of employment were taken into consideration, only increased by ajbout 1 per cent. In other words, taking the period as a whole, "real wages" in London showed a marked decrease. Bebwee.ii 1900 and 190!) they dropped by 13 per cent, and between 1909 and 1912 rose by about .S per cent, with the net result thai for the whole period they actually dropped by 5 per cent. Are You Working Uphill? to the masses, in tho class struggle, any training, however inadequate and narrow, is better than none, and that every increment of skill, other things being equal, makes the man so much less a slave. Unless capitalism can couple with its plan for. narrow voca- tionallsm, a thorough training in sub- missiveness and sheepishness, it is arming labor against capital. We may, 'accordingly, expect a boom of the movement for the diversion of public funds to the support "of parochial schools. 'But it is safe to say that experience will in the long run prove that the height of industrial skill and efficiency demanded iby modern capitalism can not be secured without giving real education to the masses. It ls equally clear that to Impart this genuine education writes the death warrant of. capitalism. Here, then, is the dilemma. Capitalism may take either fork of the road: Keep the-masses ignorant, and thereby servile, but at the cost of los italisits are only getting their eyes ing first place in the industrial rival ry of Uie nations; or, educate the ■masses for efficiency, and hold first rank in ■international competition, but at the cost, of whetting the proletariat to a sense of its potential strength. Either course is ruin to American capitalism, and there is no third alter STEAL A MARCH ON FATHER TIME Don't Let Gray Hair Make You Look Prematurely Old Nothing will so quickly and surely rob a woman of her charm as gray anil faded hair, and nothing is so easily preventable.

Bankhead we have not heard irom, but speuking for Hosmer tve liave never struck auy alarming prosperity in this camp, and if there is tiny it is best described l>> the school boy when he wrote '"The ostrich has a tail, but it is nothing to speak of!" Now arises the questioni What could the District do? The funds at present in hand would not last very long were an attempt made to relieve the 'present distress. -Litigation consumes a large por-jj| tion of the funds ami on more than one occasion 'jig the District has been forced to accept outside fts-li sistanee when eondueiing lengthy legal cases.! This is one good reason why there should be a i substantial'reserve, apart from any sentimental j •reasons. *■■ However, we should not attempt to belittle the sufferings*"of those brothers in camps that are practically shut down, (.'ynie.nl regrets are nol calculated to allay tlie pangs of hunger or clothe the naked, and every intelligent worker realizes that the period of depression is not the result of a few misplaced votes, while to suggest that this is so is inconsistent' and ridiculous. Several brothers have written us with reference to performing work for the Ledger, and so add to l heir present slender income. We would like to point out at this time that the Ledger is returning to the mine'.'workers in the shape of payment for correspondence and commission upon subscriptions nearly -il&OO.OO annually, and will quote the case of one brother in Coleman who. within a fortnight, secured eighty-six subscriptions, and received frpm us some ^21.50 for his efforts. Last month we paid tyit.somewhere in the neighborhood of $130.00 for correspondence. Two of these correspondents were not members of the V. M. AV. of A., and we t have decided to ask these gentlemen to cease contributing, and will be glad to receive offers for correspondence in Frank and Blairmore. When this is done, every regular correspondent will be* ;i member of the District. We would also suggest that some might canvas for subscriptions, printing orders and advertisements, and we will pay a generous commission on jail collections. Although this may amount to only i a few dollars, it will be found acceptable, as tmxex*- SIBigflgSHjil^^ MAY DAY CELEBRATION AND SPORTS Vancouver has been greatly disturbed over one of the 'most-brutal and ghastly murders ever perpetrated iu that city, and the feeling of the inhabitants is accentiuited by the fact that.an Oriental a Chinese lad of seventeen years'of age) is accused of the crime. *,.'." As is usual, a certain portion of.the press has discovered that, the accused (Kong) some two years ago identified himself witli a society of young ■Chinamen, who studied communism and advocated the principles of anarchy. So far the news agencies have been unable to trace any Socialistic alliance, but we can hope that within the next few days it will-be stated,,on- the usual indisputable authority 77) that Kong was a member of the Social ist Party, °' A ■sequel to the murder is that the city council of Vancouver liave decided to take action in the matter of segregating Oriental children from white children. Further, a resolution was adopted pledging the City council to give contracts for supplies only to those firms who employ white men, provided TI1K1R TERMS WERE ON A LEVEL WITH THE FIRMS WHO EMPLOYED ORIENTAL LABOR. The wonderful benignity of the lasl paragraph is awful, and the altitude to which generosity soars on such occasions marvellous. Evidently the while man will secure all the business when he «<lop1s| a] if,,tmi m.(1jvi,(i indicate. The Ledger has cosl the Oriental standard of living. This is what wej qnitl, a ,)it to nm in tho past> and.there is no rea- have been trying to hammer into the heads of some mn why injne workers sho„ui „0t get a little return people for a long time: Morals cease to exist when | ovon i£ it i)e in th(? shapo of 1)nyraent for oorrwj. profits are threatened. The press agency is badly informed or the Vancouver ('ity Council is the ^nijAiil lijili.t,»*/.-ini;__liiiii,ili=ikl' l/liniu iiAZ-ne-^-a'-ihlmi'i-.-fl^t'-A-- gether. Are the Chinese or Hindus here because we love 'em? The Oriental is here because he is CHEAP! And so long as he is cheaper than the white main so long will lie stay, regardless of what effect his morals may have upon others, lie has .invariably been found splendid material to employ for strike breaking purposes, and on such occasions his docility and industry are-lauded to the -skies. Several unions have raised no objection to Oriental labor, provided Ihey received the same wages as a while man. Needless to say the white man always gets first—liis endurance find strength are invariably greater. Still, no doubt the Vancouver City Council! will simmer down after awhile and in the meantime the least perturbed will bc "John." who will blandly smile and exclaim "Me no sabby!" We wonder if Bowser will order the discharge of all Chinese from the Vancouver Island mines? Is there no fear that some of these generous strike breakers may have their morals contaminated? The First of May will be celebrated by the mine workers of Fernie and Michel in the Civic Park, West Fernie. A strong committee has been formed to make arrangements and collect subscriptions. The tradesmen will be asked to contribute towards this celebration, as it is realized that a number of people will be attracted to the town and considerable business accrue therefrom. A splendid program will be fixed up and all that will be required to ensure success is tbe help and co-operation of all and—of course--the best smile from Old Sol possible.

Burch] Associate Editor Farm and Fireside In the articles that have gone 'before, w© have -mentioned some of tihe reasons for the unsettled conditions in the dairy business. The educator, dairy scientist, inspector and law- Hiaker.-lia^e'been shown to be unreliable leaders in several important matters, The milk dealer* on the other hand, -has pushed himself U> the]condensed milk. These figures show briefly that the standard 'brands of condehsed mllk are considerably more expensive than ordinary milk, even after diluting with 'water. Considering the cost of the can'and the condensing process, •this is ibut natural; but it is curious •to note that the Boston consumer who ivbsbluitely refuses to pay the milk dealer more than,,9 cents a quart for milk pays his grocer at the rate of 10 to 19 cents for a quart When buying front ,to a position of,,control. By Ms thnrmwh ,k*n*n\vlc*>l,o;<*1 nf his own ilnsi ness and the business of; others associated wlUi him he hasi become the most dominant figure in the commercial dairy 'business. Thus the condensed milk industry is vortlsing as a means of educating the consumer. The manufacturers had first to overcome a deep-rooted prejudice against canned milk, then to •would take a Philadelphia lawyer a year to figure that out. Besides, I cannot afford to keep books." ■I asked the slime question of another fanner selling milk Jfrom' a twenty-cow herd in Virginia, and he produced figures showing that the average yield of his cows was 6,132 pounds a year, and that he made .48 cent profit on each quart. The retail price, was 8 cents. Delivery and production cost him 7.52 cents. Just for a moment think show much better off this man would have been if he had had better cows. His coiws give only 6,132 pounds each per year. Ten thousand .pounds is not a high yield 'for good co-ws. To be sure, this man sold his milk for less than 5 cents a pound, which is too cheap, considering its food value; tout if his cows had been really efficient he could have made a good profit ait 8 cents a quart. *,,. There were, other records showing the returns from different cows, and the cost of' milking, caring for, and feeding 'them. I give -these figures, not as models, for they are far from that, 'but merely to show what one man did without the help of' a Philadelphia lawyer. The cost of running a dairy is bound to-change continually. It will be different for different farnis and farmers. The mail who has a small farm near town has a low delivery cost and a high cost for feed. The reverse is true of a larger farm farther out. If the dairy is too small, overcapitalized, or too far from the market, the high cost of producing, milk will show that Mie .farm is poorly adapted to the milk 'business and would be better for some ether purpose. A young farmer about' six miles from Mankato, Kan., whom I visited, had contemplated selling both milk and cream in Mankato, ibut found he could more profitably sell first-class dairy butter and buttermilk. While the 'butter brought a smaller gross income than would have been received from milk and cream, the gross cost of delivery was much less because of less frequent trips, and' his net profits justified'his wise decision. Simple Rules for Selecting Milk The method for selecting the <best grade of an.llk from the kinds available is a question which the consumer'must help himself to answer, The 'best general rule is to observe the keeping quality of the milk. If kept in a clean place at a temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit or less, good milk will remain sweet twenty-four hours after delivery. •With this general Idea in mind, first (consider the case of the consumer" who deals directly with the producer. A personal visit to the dairy* is enlightening, ibut is seldom indulged In. People are too 'busy, and, as one housewife told me, "I hate to meddle in the affairs of people I don't know very well. The best substitute for a vl§it to the dairy is to see whether the milkman is personally clean and particular. Does he .wipe his feet on the mat, .does he keep his hair brushed and are his teeth clean? Is iiis horse well groomed and well fed? If he seems to pass muster in these'things"and. the .milk keeps well, vn*,, aw fairly sa.fp liv n-mtt-nnlglniir Mm ploy.ed a careful and competent man to manage the dairy for him. The business is conduoted on a philanthropic rather than a commercial basis.' Why the Babies Were Bottle-Fed In .Washington, D. C, one large milk plant distributed over 375,000 battles of milk for 'baby feeding, in the course of eighteen months, at a price mostly under cost. The average number of persons in the families helped was about five, and the in- come per -family only 97 cents a day. Over a 'fourth of the 'babies had to be bottle-fed for the sole reason that the mothers were*obliged to go out to work. So the dairy supplied them -with milk at less than cost. Right or wrong?!, Consider how the little tots would have suffered from improper feeding, and consider the grief of the parents over the death .which .would 'have claimed many, and you will believe iwith me that to sell milk at less than cost is sometimes a noble work: of philanthropy. But how much better it would be to'save the mothers from the necessity of, going out' to work, and thus enable them to nurse their babies? Cow's milk at its best is a poor substitute for mother's milk. So, before we criticize rich men's dairy farms, iwe must first consider their service t-o humanity and remember there are two sides to the quesition of 'selling milk below cost. Don't Oppose the Philanthropy Any apparent Injury done the commercial side of the business through •philanthropy is more than offset toy the advertising of tbe milk' 'business gained thereby. 'Philanthropy is the expression of consideration for your fellow men, and is natural to everybody. It is one of the little extras in the social side of life, and that is iwhy it must not be expected in business. No dairyman can toe expected, for the sake of oharity, to make a business of selling, milk under cost or at any figure which 'does not give a reasonable profit above necessary expenses. That kind of . false philanthropy would ruin his own home and increase rather than diminish the dependents that society must care for. So philanthropy must .take care of itself. It will always do good. It is like' a benevolent stranger; it is something not to be counted on or expected, and no dairy farmer ought to feel (badly because he cannot be a -philanthropist. But in the name of humanity •let those who can afford to be philanthropists keep up their good work. Do not hinder them. If you will not help save the babies for the sake of the babies themselves, remember that every live baby is a milk -consumer, and always will be. And the partner that helps' to increase the number of customers helps the business.—New York Call. A TRAGEDY OF TWO LIVES [By Z. Liblen] Translated by Louis Chaskin They .were two girls—iplaymates— and very intimate ones. The name of one girl was Sadie Humvitz, and of the other, iBeekie Levin. Sadies was a brunette, tall, bad beautiful long hair and was more intelligent than BecMe, her chum. 'Beckie 'was several years younger, was imbued with more life and go, 'was not so tall,\,and because of her disposition looked even younger than she really .was. I had the luck, or the misfortune, to have both girls fall in love with me; but I have entirely neglected Sadie and was oblivious to her feeling toward me; at the same time I fell in love with Beckie and married her. „ I was well aware of the fact that Sadie loved me, perhaps, better than Heckle, whom I married, and I knew that her heart was broken; but it did not matter to me in 'the least, In fact. I enjoyed a feeling of satisfaction that I was the cause of a girl's suffering. Sadie iiwas the chief guest at my wedding; her conduct gave one the impression that she was more attached to the bride than tome. She continually kissed and hugged the bride, at the same time avoiding me as far as possible, *st> that I could not but feel deeply her protest against my unwillingness to reciprocate her tender feeling, but thess thoughts again caused joy to my selfish nature. \lv wife and I succeeded in estab- If he pasteurizes his milk you are doubly safe.

Before my marriage I knew Sadie to be a very quiet and sedate girl, but every time she visited us now -she"'-appeared to be so full of life and go ■ In * bo unusual a manner that 1 was certain that her seml- hysterlcal behavior was nothing but an echo of her formpr. disappointment. Later I discovered that whenever Sadie left our house and wont back to her small, narrow, room sho had a crying fit, but that again gave me cause for Joyous feeling. I remember I used to engage my wife In conversation with regard to Sadie, and her love for me, for sheer joy. About half a year after I was married Sadie left the city for Chicago, and It did not take long until I completely lost track of her. Several years later, during the summer. 1 had occasion'to make a business trip to Chicago, and I recalled the fact that Sadie waa somewhere in Hint city, and 1 waa smitten with a sudden desire to see her while there. I told my wife of my desire, and de- cptte the fact thut I had almost forgotten her, I felt, nome uneasiness In talking about her, and I knew that my voice betrayed my emotion, I no- tii'tnl thnt It mnde a bad ImprenMon upon my wife, although she seemed to agree with me that I nhaulil Icok audit- up. Hut I understood (hat my wife meant pret'Imdy the opposite; she Hhoiv-t'd it in the way she helped mis with you, and I iwould like to seo her." "She is not yet home from iwork, but it is near 6 o'clock, and if you will come in and wait a few minutes you will be able to see her." I accepted her Invitation and went in. "Can you tell me how long she has been stopping with you?" I asked of Airs. Gerst. "About two years," she replied. She looked at me curiously for several moments and asked: "And who are you, may I ask? Her countryman?" I assured her that I was. "And what's your name?" "Cirlln," I replied.' "Are you, perhaps, a brother of her deceased husband?" she asked, without taking her eyes off me. "Why ao you ask?" I said to her, trembl.ng with emotion. "•Because you resemble so much Mrs. Cirlin's husband." "May I ask if you knew him?" I asked in surprise. "No, not exactly, but his picture is on the wall in her room." I jumped up from my chair and rushed to her room. There it was, my photo, which I gave her years before, together with her own in one frame, hung just over her bed. And iu a moment I understood it all. It was evident that the girl, who had loved me so much 'without getting anything in return, found some consolation at least in bearing my name and being _lviiftWtt--as myjwjdpw erful A. W. U. scame along and persuaded the Rural Workers to amalgamate. They did so, and from ohe end of Australia to the other the capitalists «ursed' both unions loud and long. iThen the scale of -wages for rural workers was drawn up and published. It practically doubled the old rates. Bank managers-, auctioneers, machinery agents, a*nd others who exploit the farmers -urged them not 'to pay the new scale. But the A. W. U. formed camps for the man, where finally most of tbe farms had. to go if they wished to engage harvest lhande. It is confidently assented that the .Waterside Workers will join forces with the A. \V. IL, and if so the United Laborers' Union will not be long in following it. It will thus be seen that the A. .W. U. has solved the problem of "the organization of Ithe nnsklfleiilt." Hn Australia anyi manual worker can join the A. W. U. Carters, laborers, carders, sheep-drovers, wharfmen, sailors, and in fact anyone can be a member. Very often men join it in preference to joining the union for their own calling. Often men> who work at repairing roads have A. W. U. tickets ln their pockets. Before the Rural Workers' Union was started, it was convmon ■to find farm workers enrolled in the ranks of the A. W. II. Thus the organization of the unskilled has ibeen provided for in Australia, because here we have a very powerful union that enrolls men of every calling among its members. During the last year or two the Labor party has been getting a press, nnd 1 am pleased to say that il is union-owned. Dally Laibor papers are new Issued in Brisbane, Broken Hill, Ballarat, Hobart, Adelaide, and Perth, By next Easter a Labor daily will .be printed In Sydney, tlie funds for which were collected as levies from the members of the powerful Australian Workers* Union. Some members objected ■to paying Uie levy and tested the legality of the Union's demand in the law courts, where it has been decided that the Union is perfectly justified In 'forcing its members to pay the levy. —The New Review.

WHEN YOUR SICK YOUR WAGES STOP "Is It really your brother's photo?" Mrs. Gersi asked. "Yes, It is," I replied in a broken voice. "Your sl&ter-in-Iaw mourns her husband very much. Very often she sits for hours at a. time before the picture, witli tears rolling down her cheeks." The kind woman went out of the room and left me standing there, almost in a faint. And in that moment I realized for the first lime her great love toward me, and I waa sorry for the way I had treated her. Soon I heard some oue approaching, and then her voice. I stood there awaiting my doom. She e-titerod the room, dressed In deep mourning. A shudder ran through iuy entire being as 1 saw her look at me for several seconds, as though she did not know tne, "Sadie!" I cried. "Cirlln!" she gasped, and then: "Oh! You—are—Clrlls?" "Sadie, my poor widow!" I ejaculated, tears running down my cheeks. She became deathly pale. I thought I saw an unnatural simile flit across her lips, and without another word she quickly closed the door of her room, took off her coat and hat, turned away from me and wood for several seconds with her hands covering her face, while her frame was convulsed .with heartrending sob*. I wt nt to her. embraced her, leaned her head ngalnst my *houlder nnd covered her tear-stained face with hot You know what that means—misery —bills—iworry—iblg bills—debt!

That thing we have in Rexall Olive OU Emulsion.

Nt ivinan'a quotations of the Coal M^tit* Act and special rules enlighten m en 'hi- iu;i!t«-r. 1 may further point out that the amend ment does not conflict with anything that is law (capitalist law) and if it did would not concern me in the least, as it upholds the first Jaw,of nature, self-preservation. That It may at times interfere with our masters' profits I am willing to admitj'tbut as this is not our funeral I fall lo see why we should worry over it. The switching on to politics seems to be a thorn In the side of Bro. Newman, and I nm sure he would rather discuss tbe Immortality of the soul or the hereafter in the Union meetings than something which is of vital Interest nnd benefit to the workers, The brand of Socialism that I am trying my utmost to make predominant way seem to ho as far in the distance as Jupiter ls from Mam to a man who cannot see any further than his nose, nnd who ln hotter acquainted with a prayer book than with the trend of tho labor movement. In conclusion 1 would advise Bro. Newman to rvtxl some Socialist litem- miv vHt-li, If he is sufficiently Intel!!- Kent to understand it, will ennblo him to realize his true position ln society, and will also enable him to do his own thinking instead of letting the clergy du li for him. I always enjoy n good argument if my opponent-knows what he is talking a.ioti;. and can support his argument by facts, but to argue with Bro. Newman 1* like tailing candy from tx kid. However. I hope he will stuly the vital questions concerning thc worker* and give us Home- thing which will .be worth while replying to. Thanking you.

Title | The District Ledger |
Publisher | Fernie, B.C. : F.H Newnham |
Date Issued | 1914-04-11 |
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. |
