Pass Bill Over
Heads of Lords
Disestablishment Measure Becomes eminent but it is also asserted that
Law—First Case Under Parliament
Act—Deprives Church of England
of Power in Wales,
LONDON, May 19.—The first bill to
become law under the operation of
the 'parliament act is the Welsh d;s-
rstabllslimmtt ibill, which passed its
third reading In the commons tonight
by a vote ot 328 to 251.
Renewed interest has been taken ln
the Welsh disestablishment bill during thc past month owing to its importance to tho church and churchmen. Under the parliament act the
bill automatically becomes law after
its third passage by the commons, no
matter whit action the lords may
take.
Among other things tho bill provides that so far as Wales and Monmouth nre concerned the Church of
England will cease to be established
by law; all cathedrals and ecclesiastical corporations will be dissolved;
tho iblshops of tho four Welsh dioceses
.will cease to be members of tho house
of lords; the political ecclesiastical
law will cease to exist aB law, and
no ecclesiastical court will have any
coercive Jurisdiction and the bishops
and clergy will not be members of or
be represented in the houses of convocation.
The Unionist press this morning
indulges in further criticisms of what
it calls the government's iniquity in
forcing the measure on the statute
book.
It is declared that tiie party leaders and lieutenants are nearer peace
as regards home rule than a fortnight
ago.
In some quarters It Is hinted that
when Sir Edward Carson moves third
reading of the Irish bill tomorrow Mr.
the cabinet is not ready to grant the
exclusion which is Ulster's minimum
demand, though comments <■« the budget d-qbiite on the grant of £500,000
to the Irish exchequer are evidently
intended to induce Mr. Redmond to
-assent to further "apparent concas-
slons."

CALGARY, May 19.- On behalf of
Clarence Dyson, aged ii years, a wrft
demajiding $20,000 damages from the
city has been issued by Duncan Stuart
and company.
The statement of claim is to the effect that owing .to alleged carelessness
on the part of city employees the child
got hold of some detonators with the
result that he had one of his hands
blown off.
The accident happened in March,
1913.
Detonator Left Lying Around
Certain employees of the city were
engaged at that time in blowing up ice
in the Elbow river. The statement of
claim avers that owing to extreme
carelessness these men left a box of
detonators used to explode dynamite
on the bank of the river. The child
in going by found the box and carried
it home. Being of tender years he
was ignorant of tbe nature of the caps.
He pounded on© witb the result that
the detonator exploded. One of the
child's hands was blown off.
The claim is made that the child
suffered great pain and the permanent
Asqulth will make an Important state- J loss of one of his hands, for which
ment as to the intentions of the gov-1 $20,000 is asked.

•Since then the case* have been appealed repeatedly in the different
courts, this being the second time it
has been before the Supreme Court of
the United States.
It was plainly apparent from tbe
outsot that tho judiciary of the Supreme Court did not desire to convict
tho Labor leaders, fearing the effects
of such « decision upon public'oplnfon,
which was thoroughly aroused, The
Federation officials were acclaimed
not only by the Labor Interests but
by popular scntlmor.t, ns the defenders ot tree speech. It was confidently
predicted that no verdict would ever
be confirmed against them by the
court last resort, although the defendants Insisted upon a decision being
rendered In the case.
It Is now generally conceded that
Ute judiciary played a deliberate wolt-
Ing game. At one time tbe Labor men

the game in masterly fashion. Fernlo
showed a vast Improvement on the
form shown on their first encounter
with Coal Creek and from tho Itlck-off
proved rather aggressive, scoring the
first goal within tlmtn minutes of tho
start. Pete Armstrong equalized
shortly atter. Walker, centre forward
for Coal Creek, was the cynosure of
all eyes, nnd iu spite of his roptated
efforts to score did not succeed until

Why Shouldn't -
You Feel Good?
._.- r
Too many of us OVERLOOK health
happiness In this world.
We grow careless about the MINOR
Ills of life and rarely experience the
JOY of living.
Tho average man or woman cannot
conscientiously say that he or she
feels FIT and WELL every day In
the year. Modern methods of living
ave against good health—and render
u* peculiarly susceptible to Indigestion, Dyspepsia, and Biliousness.
Our stomachs are always bothering
us. We grow accustomed to feeling
wretched—but not sufficiently wretched to bother the doctor.
But there IS a cure for this wretched feeling. Take 15 drops of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. This
great English remedy brings QUICK
relief to the disordered stomach.
It restores the digestive organs to
normal Action and keeps them in a
healthy condition. It is almost purely
herbal—Nature's own remedy for aick
stomachs.
Get Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup.
Take it regularly—then note the improvement in your health.

THE UNEMPLOYED—THE PRID€
OF THE CAPITALISTIC SYSTEM
* 1ck**ickirkickicMckickick*#k^ >*******
[In the Times of April 26, there appeared a letter written by John Reid,
which gave such a, clear picture of the
causes of the Mexican revolution that
it is a Wonder that the editor allowed'
It to "be printed. Below we q"|)te a
portion of it.—Editor's Note.]
Start of the Revolution
It was and is nothing ibut a revolution of the peons. And the. first man
who .proposed any plan, Tto matter
how inadequate, to remedy the land
question wss followed. Zapata rose
iu arms a year before Madero did, demanding confiscation and distribution
of the great estates among the .peons, "me-
and political economy for two great {
eral agents of the. Palace in .Meiico
City—that they will be no longer policed by federal soldiers and spies.
Their common form of political society ,1a communal and tribal. But
now there is a pretty general realization that in order to protect thevn-
selves against the predatory rich and
the government they must have their
own representatives in Congress. Of
course, they are still very ignorant;
hardly a village that has not elected
In Mexico, as well as at home, the
idle money of foreign speculators is of
more importance than the wishes, independence, and ideals of th people
who gave it to them, _

States. |Madero's proclamation to the
Mexican people from prison at San
Luis Potosi inflamed the peons only
because he promised to acquire the
big land monopolies and reapportion
them among the -poor. Bnt when his
government was established in (Mexico City, either he became conservative, or, because of political pressure,
he was unalble to carry out his plans,
or the time was too short; anyway,
the situation remained the same, and
the .peons became discontented.
First, Zapata abandoned him and
raised the standard of "War for the
Land"; then Orozco issued the plan of
Tacubaya, in which he promised the
peons free farms. In the twinkling of
en eye the turbulent north rose In
arms, -but Orozco betrayed the peons.
He had been bribed by the 'big land
owners to eipbarrass Madero, whom
they feared, and never intended to
settle the land question at all. When
the peons learned that, they abandoned his red flag by thousands and
returned, hopeless and disheartened,
to their homes. Zapata, who had acknowledged Orozco as President of
Mexico, renounced him. And that was
why the Orozco revolution failed.
When Carranza -proclaimed himself
"First Chief of the Revolution" on the
death of .Madero, he cleverly indorsed
the-iprinclples of Madero as set forth
in the plan of San Luis Potosi, ibut put
all the emphasis upon the restoration
of constitutional government in Mexico. Either because he was afraid that
if he made promises he could not fulfill them any more'thanjMadero could,
or because -he did not believe in the
wholesale distribution of land to the
■peons, Carranza avoided the question
entirely. He said that after the Constitutionalist Government was established and order restored In the country he would see what could (be done.
Zapata promptly denounced him, his
party and his plan, and declared that
Caranza did nbt Intend to make any
radical changes, and it is perfectly
true that the peons are only secondarily interested in the restoration of

If We Occupy Mexico
We are going to destroy all that
We have made ourselves responsible
for 'Mexico before the eyes of the
world. The first American soldier
who enters .Mexico City means the
end of the Mexican revolution. It
means that the United States cannot
leave Mexico until it has established
there a government perfectly suitable
to the European powers, and that government will not 'be suitable at all to
the Mexican people. We must suppress the right of franchise ln a way
tliat even Porfirio Diaz never dared to
do. For if the .peons were to indicate
their choice for President they would
probably elect a man who represents
them—perhaps even a -peon like Francisco Villa. vAt any rate, some one
who wojild give them what they have
been fighting for so painfully and so
long. And there is not a government
in the world which will allow that,
because the people's choice for President will take the lands away from
the rich who stole them, and return
them, to the people to whom they
rightfully belong. And that, you
know, ls confiscation—a crime under
the law.
The Government of the United
States has already expressed Itself as
being opposed to the distribution of
lands. iM'oreover, it would not dare
if it wanted to—which it doesn't
recognize such a man as Villa; in, the
first place, because he was a bandit
and uot respectable; in the second
place, ;l>ecause he is only a peon, not
a 'business man, and therefore impossible in the eyes of a democratic
nation.
Of course, there are immense European and Americanv interests in 'Mexico, many of them obtained Iby sheer
birbery, all of them rich ln the blood
and sweat of th§ -peons. Tite United
States could not recognize any desire
of the (Mexicans that some of these
illegal concessions :be restored to the
people who were cheated-out of them.

Why Villa Is Popular
But Villa, with or without the approbation of his chief, went ahead
confiscating the estates of the great
land owners and dividing them among
'he people. For Instance, tn the State
of Chihuahua, he gave outright sixty-
two and a half acres to every adult
male, to be Inalienable for ten years.
He knew that many of them, especially the younger generation, were
so sunk in lethargy because of the
slavery of the haciendas as to have
lost all feeling for Individual proprietorship of their farms; he calculated
that tf they were not allowed to gamble away* or sell their properties for
ten years the ancient Independent love
of working the land would return. It
is significant that Zapata promptly
Joined Villa, and Is now In accord
with lilm, although he still renounces
Carransa.
The three years of the revolution
have educated the Mexican people
more than the tliirty-five years of the
great "Educator" Porfirio Dins. .For
one thing, thoy have traveled all over

want to devitalize the Mexican race
and turn them Into brown, docile Am
erican business men and laborers, as
we have the Cubans, as we are turning the Filipinos.
As 1 write this, some of our newspapers are (publishing sickening headlines a/bout the seventeen heroic
American marines who laid down
their lives for their country In the
streets of Vera Cruz, The lowest estimate of the 'Mexican dead is 200. T-he
greater number of those who died
were not Mexican soldiers at all; they
were [Mexican citizens firing from the
roofs of their own'house upon a foreign army which invaded their country because some foreign business
men whom they had' enriched were
not satisfied and wanted it all.
Our efffclent, highly organized Roman legions will not find the Mexican
Army their most determined opponents. -It Is the peons and their wives,
the Ignorant, patient, generous race
that has slept for 400 years and is
now awake at last, and struggling for
liberty . and self-consciousness, that
they will 'nave to shoot. It Is the unorganized great mass of the people,
without adequate arms or any knowledge of modern warfare—"the embattled farmers," like those who stood
at Concord and Lexington—who will
be murdered. They will "take uip their
puns with reckless bravery and resist
us desperately in the streets and at
the doors of their houses. The revolution wlll.be done forever. And the
United States will bave quenched an
awakening race that might one' day
have loomed great ln the world's
history.
And if we can ever withdraw from
that distracted country we will leave
things worse than thoy were before—
an exploiting class firmly intrenched
in the places of power, the foreign
interests stronger, because we supported- them, the^great estates-securely re-established, and the peons
taught that wage slavery and not individual freedom is the desirable
thing tn life.—New YOrk Call.
Instinctively we think of tramps
when.'we speak of th© army of the
unemployed. But the mass of jobless
■people are .not that. (The unemployed
are made up for the most part of
willing workers, It's a reserve army,
and is the pride of the capitalistic
system-.
iWhen a wage earner , complains
that he isn't getting enough money to
support his family, Mr. Capitalist
System points put of the window and
says: "It you don't want your job,
•there are a hundred people waiting
out there ready to take. It." And then
Mr, Wage Earner closes his,face and
stays humble. , • " .
. In the meantime how do these
hundreds on the outside live? Some
don't. But those who hang on^how
do they do it? Read this:
, "Dear EJd—I am sending $5. mat's
all I can do for you, I'm sorry, i but
we are living on the ragged edge ourselves." _ . ,
That's a sample letter? to a man
out of a job from a brother or a
father or a friend who is trying, to
hold onto his own Job. And this Is
just the situation the capitalist system wants. The fear of "losing, jobs
and the struggle to get. then^ and
there ls not much choice, for the
fear of falling is almost as toad as
to fall. And don't you see, the moVe
people but of work, the lower the
wages? Some employers dismiss the
whole question by saying that out of
100 workers who want Jobs, three-
fourths of them are not efficient,
iThe wonder is that anybody is .competent or efficient under a system
that thrives on the fear of those It
exploits. But for the hope of mitigating this fear and Insecurity
through the advance of labor organization industrially and politically,
there would result such a cataclysm
as would make the French Revolution look like a game of shinny.—

Destruction
By Henry M. Tlchenor
Sometimes—not often—I fear for
the future. Sometimes, Instead ot the
vision of the summit, there appears
tbe dark picture of the abyss, down ln
whose depths the burled nations Ue.
There is so much to give Its hope; our
knowledge has become no -great; we
have traveled so far up the rugged
path, that it almost seems as though
we cannot miss our footing this time
un d plunge downward again to tbe
depths, And then, when all looks
•brightest, 1 think of Rome, and
Greece, and Egypt, and Babylon, and
the unknown and unnamed empires
that have only left their .history ln
piles of sunken ruins. They, too, had
knowledge. Some have left us works
of art and building thnt we of the
modern world have not approached;
they have left us ri classic literature
that shines Into the twentieth century; they have left us knowledge;
boast, If you will, that it was not as
sirenl as'oura, yet tbey had knowledge

lapses 139 and a net increase of' 174
In the number of new organizations;
the largest increase in any years since
1903. Prom .October, 1912, to April,
1913, there were 134 new organizations with 73 lapses and from April
to October, 1913, there were 179 new
organizations with '66 lapses;
The membership Increase was unprecedented. In * the first half of
the year, the Increase—116,946—was
greater than that for any other entire year. In the second half of the
year, there was a further increase of
21,630, making the total increase for
tho year ,138,576. or 26.3 per cent.
The average number of members per
union was 219 as against 213 in 1912.
New York City had 29 per.cent of
the organizations and 74 per cent of
the -meim-bership. "Of the Increase ln

The number of localities in the
;SJtate having 1,000 or more union
: members on September 30, 1913, was

[ (Amsterdam, Ilion, Ogdensburg and
Port Chester) entered the list and 2
tically confined to New York City.
The.Increase in the restaurant trade,
etc.,. group was due chiefly to the
strike among Brooklyn .barbers in
May, 1913, which led to the formation
of a new union with 4,500 members.
The. growth of organization in the
clothing industry is the most striking
feature.of the table. On September
30, 1912";- this industry for the first

membership In the entire State.
Ninety-five per cent of its -membership was in New York City.
In Septemiber, 1913,-there were 292
distinct trades or branches of trade,
each of which had. at least one labor
organization as compared with 279
such trades a year ago. In 65 trades
there was a union membership of
2,000 or more as compared with 60

Should you lose your good right arm, how are you going
to make a living?
Here Is a proposition that guarantees that you do not
lose your Income. A small monthly premium will guarantee you cash payments whin you are unable to work
through Injury or sickness.
The policy also provides liberal
payments for loss of life, limbs or
eight, as follows: " *
1 Lobs of life Principal sura

Hnlf principal sum
8 Loss of one eye.
Half principal sum
In addition to th<>s<> benefits Uie
Itoltcy will pay you a pension of one-
half the monthly Indemnity for five
years, whould you lose your 1<»ks, arm*

that has ever been Inserted in an accident policy. If you

or, to say the least of it. your earnliiK a Will y Is very
largely impaired, Thle policy will not only pay you a

It is a weakuras of human nature to criticize,
and i»> this direction we plead a great humanity.
Still, hy analyzing the words and actions of others
we become more cognizant of our own weaknesses
and imperfections. You eannot hold the mirror
without getting an occasional glimpse of your, own
self. Our opponents can never be accused of parsimony so far as criticism is concerned, but occasionally they will tittilate the minds of their own
class with their righteous indignation (?) at the
liberties allowed tlie laboring classes and tlie misfortunes of tlie unfortunate rich. The latest wail
we have noticed appears in the editorial columns
of The Coal and Coke Operator. Commenting
upon the action of Upton Sinclair and his colleagues in parading in mourning before J. 1). Rockefeller's (junior) mansion in New York, this journal rips out the following junk for the edification
ami commiseration, no doubt, of its readers:
"As between militant Suffrngels. who destroy
property in England, and 'mourners' who pace
before the doors of rich men Ivho happen to have
money invested in property where labor troubles
develop into anarchy in the United States, one
Sets an inkling of understanding why so many rich
Americans can expatriate themselves and acquire
cit/izens'hip in foreign countries."
Ignoring for the time the sufferings of those
•'expatriated" ciHizens lolling in villas on the shore
of tlie Mediterranean or being bored by the excessive gaieties of continental.Europe, \rc'might-consider the misfortunes of those who ''happen to
possess money invested in property where labor
troubles develop into anarchy." These individuals do not ''happen" to know what workiug eight
or. ten hours in a dusty, gaseous and foul coal mine
-Jltflans: they do not, happen to «»\-neriencg_thp _
drudgery of the miners' existence; with them life
is one continuous kaleidoscopic round of variety.
The miner sleeps, works and eats (when he earns
enough). He sleeps in a shack and sees his ehil
dren grow up in surroundings that the men who
''happen" to be rich would not tolerate their cat-
lie to exist in. He oats in this shack nnd in the
mine; he consumes his food in the mine undei'
conditions more revolting than those of the shaek.
He has to eat amid dust and dirt or not eat at all.
Silver and white napery are not conspicuous in a
coal mine when the miner dines. He does not
'happen" to possess these luxuries and J. 1). &
Co. are taking particular care that lie nhall not
be burdened with same.
Further on in the name this journal adds;
"Surely the efficiency-of Anglo-Saxon Common
haw principles is ooxing away, or else those chosen
to adm'nister it are betraying a singular anil as-
tiininhiiig sympathy with law-breakers."
if the number of indictment* returned against
Hoekefeller in any indication of the oozing process,
then wo are inclined to believe that tho "principles
of law" have undergone a process* of squeezing
that eliminates any danger of tho ■■worker further
sapping same.
The chagrin of The Coal and Coke Operator at
the supreme court'* decision in the Oompers, Mit-
ehell and Morrison ease ia pathetic and their eout-
ment is one of those inexplicable literary excrescences which uiuht mystify even its mont anient
supporter and rentier. The caption ol the editor'*
fii-M* leading article, which dtntlM with it meaetuf
likely to benefit labor orgniiizations, is "Commun-
iente at Once WiUi Your Congressmen" (!), Hi*
comment upon the previotndy mentioned cttne is
M follow*;
) "It would seem that the cowardice of politi.
*s\nm, who have long been subservient lo labor
union official* who had the temerity to threaten
I heir |Militi.«l life, and who have twisted rightc-
oUKuesiK in law-making in order to shield thein. hn*
wpread it* pertiieiotin influence to the judgi'* of
pvon onr high-mt court."
The ludieroiwne** of appealing to politician* if
they ar« »uluH.rvient to the hi bor union official is
too funny to new! comment
less than the reflex of tlie fight and the shattering
of that expectancy which buoys us up in our efforts. The instinct to fight and survive is just as
strong in us as in our opponents. It is the result
of countless ages and generations of striving and
struggling that has been iu progress from the day
the tiniest protein struggled and established, its
existence. Prom that very moment when life first
found expression, we have paid the penalty jn one
long continuous fight and struggle. There is-no
room in the fight for quitters. There is no higift'
in condemning the union and claiming such methods obsolete because a prostituted press claims that
labor is defeated, for so long as the union is a
fighting organization, so long will it live. The
efficacy of the union and its actions may not always be apparent, but the fact thai they endure
is' sufficient evidence of their necessity.
And yet there is no such thing as defeat; humanity was never defeated, or we would not exist' in
present day society. The coal and copper barons
as individuals will die, but their types will survive. The gunmen and hirelings will cease to exist directly the demand for their infamous service
ceases. Evolution may modify their types, but
they will be just as revolting then as today, if they
are used by the exploiters of labor. To this age,
they are necessary for the capitalist—if not, tliey
would liave gone out of existence. How long they
will be necessary depends upon you.
Charles \V. Post,.the millionaire, who ended his
life so tragically, was a bitter opponent of the labor movement. He fought it at every opportunity,
he appeared to check it, but he did not. Post is
dead; he was not necessarily a bad man, he was
fighting for his particular class and fighting as we
would see our own class fight. His antagonism for
the labor movement acted as a stimulus and was
the means of bringing hundreds and thousands of
workers to see and appreciate the benefits of organization. The strikes in the copper country and
Colorado have not been in vain; not one single
blow has been struck, not. the smallest drop of.
blood shed, that has not been productive of some
good. True, it may not appear apparent to us from
this portion of the continent, but we know that it
is impossible to regard the efforts of these men as
futile—they are not, and both they and us will reap
the rewards of their, selfsaerifice. .
Lockouts, strikes and disputes will continue, and
must so long as we market our labor power for the
price of existence; they are an. expression of
discontent with our condition, and the result of a
comparison between our method of existence and
our masters.

quit. We cannot imagine a greater insult to the
memory of those who have fought and died for the
freedom that we at-present enjoy (or aa some would
have it, should enjoy) than the attitude adopted
by those who would persuade us that things are as
they are, and there is no use in .trying to' amend
them. „ ^

Charles II. Moyer has been re-cleeted president
of the Western Federation of Miners without 6p
position, aa was Secretary Ernest Mills.' This dis
poses of the vaporings in some of thq plute papers
that Moyer did not represent the miners, was too
radical, and so on. The fact is that, when it comes
to engaging in a general strike, Moyer ia oue of
the most conservative labor officials iu^hc eoun
try. He knows that the cards are stacked that the
capitalists hold tlw trump cards which are usually
clubs, and, therefore, advises thc workers to become politically as class-conscious as Ihey are industrially aud take possession of the governing
power and the trumps aforesaid.
The so-called Taylor apced-up system is to be
given battle by the workors in Milwaukee. Tlie
decision was reached after many of the unioiiiats
heard a lecture delivered by Frederick Taylor, the
discoverer of thc scheme to gouge the workers to
the limit of their endurance, Just what form tho
wnr against Taylorisiit will take is not yet known.
The matter will be brought up at the forthcoming
session of the Wisconsin State Federation of Labor,
when pliHiK will be outlined to begin it general fight
against the driving system.
The South African sfovernmetit haa, "in defer-
ftifi> to the feeling of all parties in Parliament."
almndoiied the idea of punishing all but a few of
tbo principal officials who were connected with the
rwent general strike. The ''feeling" was largely
fxperieneed by the smashing defeat that the gov.
eminent received in the Transvaal Bute election,
when 2.1 Ijabor men and only two old party can-
did Hte* were elected to the Legislature. It !• likely that the protection of the "ringleader*" will
n\m be abandoned before long.
THE ISIS
Tonight, Thursday, the great Dumas' masterpiece, '{The Count ot 'Monte Cristo," will occupy the screen. On
Saturday, the 'management has secured the greatest melodrama ever pic-
turized, "Kissing Cup." There are
four reels to .this .picture, and one hundred and fifty splendid scenes, and
every scene is a "punch." This film
was produced iby, the great Hepworth
House, of London, without regard for
expense and with a great caste, including the 'best known and cleverest
picture actors In the wdrld. The
scenes include a motor car race, the
aeroplane to the rescue and a most
exciting race scene in which "Kissing
Cup" is shown getting; off a stride
ahead at the barrier, and followed
round the track by the camera, she
comes in a winner by five lengths.
The delight of the hero is only equaled by the amger of the villain, and thfe
final tableau Is nothing but what the
title suggests.

In a league football game In Adams

N. L. U. liavlng the best of the glame,
with no score at-half time. On resumption the N.-L. U. -went away with
ts. dash and only for the agility of Mclntyre in goal they would have scored.
Shots were put iii from all angles and
wdtb.true aim, but the Ca|lie goalkeeper wlajs lirilieataible. After having the
best of the .play all through and potting at the Callle goal foj fully twenty
minutes,' the-Callle forwards got away
with a rush. Eastbiv heating the de-'
fence, passed, to Lintiing, who seized'
tihe opening and' put a low shot, the
ball goihg in., the fax., corner out of
reach of Dunlop. ' Thore being only
len minutes .to go this reverse made
the United increase- their efforts to
score, tout without avail, as Mclntyre
gave a classy exhibition of goalkeep-

game ended 1-0 "la favor of the Calllee.

The painters finished decorating
the new saloon over a week ago and
that edifice looks exceedingly*' well
from the outside at present. Those
who were Inside last Thursday evening were treated to an impromptu entertainment. A young man, formerly
employed at the mine, came Into camp
in hopes of finding a doctor to extract
a tooth which,- according to his statement, prevented him from either
sleeping or eating for over a weeK
As the nearest doctor to be found
lived at Pincher Creek, John Lough-
ran, who ts a man of many parts, volunteered to cure the sufferer without
■removing the offending tuesypeg, and
in u few moments had the patient In
that stage of hypnotism known as
anaesthesia. After removing the pain
by deadening the nerve while the pa-
■tlent slept, he showed the audience
several hypnotic experiments, giving
•them a very Interesting performance
The subject, on finding himself cured,
was very grateful, and as he was
known to be up against it, a whip was
made which resulted in over $4.00 being handed to him. This and the cure
of his toothache sent him on his wav
rejoicing. .
Although .we feel an apology is due
to the readers of -Beaver notes for
their non-appearance in . last week's

that the elders and „ their minister
have not pulled together in ohuroh

of the spiritual advisers held the Idea
that a younger parson would draw
larger congregations. He was well
respected by all who knew him, and
although his sermons might not possess that power of fluency or elegance
of oratory which some clergymen acquire or are gifted with, yet his kindly
disposition and genuine personality
more than made up for these shortcomings.

MICHEL NOTES
Michel vs. Corbin
- These two teams met on Saturday
last in the league match. This being
the first-match for Corbin, considerable interest was taken in it and when
the players turned out a good crowd
of spectators were 'present. Corbin
had a good number of followers from
their own town. Following were the
teams: -Michel—Moores, goal; Hamp.
ton and Partridge, backs; Weaver,
Whitehouse and Roberts, half-backs;
Brown, (Murray, Sudworth, Ball and
Holmes, forwards. Corbin—Walker,
goal;. J. Clarke", W, Harlin. backs; J.
Strang, W. .White, Ed. Jackson, half
hacks; A.'Hayden, D. Stbttbart, T.
Overton. R. Stobbart, W. Llghtfoot,
forwards. J. "Sands, referee.
The game started full of excitement,
Corbin soon Ibeing the aggressors and
their play and skill.will prove their
position among the finest leaih'ir
chasers that have been seen In this
Pass, Michel played a much better
game than the week previous, and
will soon be in their old form. .When
Uie whletle blew honors were divided,
one goal each.
<Mr. Graham. Harry Massey, R. Gar-
butt, Tom Owen and ladles were visitors down here last Saturday taking

•Mr. Tom Williams was down here
last week end making his usual inspection of the minds.
New arrivals from the Old Country
were M. D. (Macdonald, surveyor, and
J. Trought (London), They took

day at the Venesia Hotel, Nfctal, to

nnd prosperity we wish both of them.

iMt. James Tonhey, Ben Ball, J.
Newman and T. James were visitors
to Fernie on Tunsday for examination,
three for 3rd class, honors; James
Tonhey for 1st class, honors.
iMr. Arthur Hopwood was down here
at the Trites-Wood store for a few
stay in town unless il* was the gentle
man who had ihe honor to ride as far
as tlie coal chutes with him.
The football committee, thinking
pay day the opportune time to raise
the shekel.s. staged a married vs. single'game. A hotly contested game
ended In favor of the benedicts hy a
score of two to one. Adamson and
Pow for the family men and McKelvle
for -the .stiffs were the goal scorers.
The collection suffered considerably
by the result, the single part of the
congregation being too aggravated to
cough up. The married portion, while
tickled to death and willing, naturally
had other' and more pressing demands
upon their surplus wealth.
A .party of local Knights of Pythias
were visitors to Fernie on Tuesday

The late arrival of the cash on pay
day kind of disorganized business for
the day. Long faces were very much
in evidence all day Saturday. The
power of money wae thoroughly realized by we liberty loving British, and
unBritish, wage slaves.
There seems to be some doubt in
Hosmer as to which day will be kept
as Victoria Day. Well, we ought to
do honor to Good Queen Vic. boys,
whether it's Saturday or Monday. One
can hardly realize how much these
-patriotic holidays mean to the working class. Between the Good Old
Queen, Edward the Peacemaker and
dear Uttle George, we certainly have
something to be thankful for.
Corbin and Hosmer meet Owe don't
know where) on Saturday in a league
fixture. Stories of Corbln's prowess
have reached our ears and the Hosmer players' stout hearts quake with
fear (I don't think) as a consequence.
We are given to understand Corbin's
ground will not be ready for a week
or two and the same is to be played
on neutral ground. .Whether in Michel, Coleman or Fernie Is not known
at the time of writing. Hosmer team I
will be chosen from the following:
Clark, Wardrop, White, Balderstone.
Burk. Richards, McKelvle. Pow, Bur-
Unson. Pruett, McGovern and Watt.
A lunch counter, a la Ingram's, Fernie, has been opened ln° the Pacific.

'Tis a strange coincidence that this

' Indianapolis, Ind., May 12, 1914.
To the Officers and Members of Local
Unions, United Mine Workers of
America:
Greeting:
The International Executive .Board
of <the United Mine Workers of America has given -tlie most thoughtful
and serious consideration to the miner's strike ln Colorado. Thus far it
has. been • an. awful conflict. Many
lives have .'been lost, much property
destroyed, while the state itself has
been burdened with an indebtedness
in excess Vf„ one million dollars.
We deplore the loss of life, acts of
violence aiid destruction of property
which have taken place. We are for
peace and the establishment of right
relations between employers aud employees. 'We have exercised our efforts at all times towards righteous
dealing, a friendly conference and an
arrangement of a just and fair wage
scale ln which tbe rights of both parties are clearly set forth' and fully recognized. But what are the facts?
Who is to blame? Upon whom must
the responsibility for the conditions
prevailing in the mining section of Colorado rest? We herewith set forth
incontrovertible facts and then let the
public decide for themselves.
Before a strike took .place, the miners asked their employers to meet
with them and listen to their grievances. They pleaded for a hearing, a
meeting with their employers and an
opportunity to be heard, but to no
avail. .They asked again and again
for a conference, ibut each time their
request was refused. Each morning
they left their homes, bade their families good-iby, went into the mines,
risked their lives and performed (faithful service. Theirs is a hazardous calling, consequently many were killed
during the course of employment Government statistics show that covering
a period of ten years past, more men
were killed per thousand employed in
the coal mines of Colorado than in any
other mining section "throughout the
■entire world. If they were good
enough to mine their coal, why should
their claims for social justice be denied? They could not get a conference, and so they did what any self-
respecting workingman would do.
Tliey discontinued work until they
could be hea-rd. Ninety-five per cent
of all the men employed ceased work
and are still idle. The statement
widely circulated by the coal operators' representatives that ten per cent
of their employees were attempting to
coerce and control ninety per cent ls
absurd and unqualifiedly false., The
small number employed are Mexicans,
Japanese and incompetent strike
breakers who have been imported
the Colorado miners are just aad well
founded. AVe support .them most heartily in demanding a fair, just and honorable settlement of all their grievances. We deem the exercise, of the
right of the Colorado miners to belong
to the United Mine Workers of America as inherent and tbe establishment
of a labor union among them as essential to the preservation of peace, the
establishment of social justice and a
protection against, the imposition of
unjust conditions in the future. Without the protection of a labor organisation'what chances has an individual
miner in dealing with powerful financial interests well organized and as
represented by John D. Rockefeller,
Jr., whose name Is synonymous with
Standard Oil?
This Ib a recital of facts and a clear
definition of the attitude of the United Mine Workers of America in its
relation to the striking coal miners of
Colorado. We ask for peace. We will
do all within our power to establish
permanent peace. We submit that a
sensible, honorable-and humane way
by which this can be established is
through a .conference of the representatives of both sides at which a settlement, honorable and Just, is brought
about.
On behalf of tbe International Executive Board.

In an effort to drive back their striking employees the operators began a
policy of persecution and the establishment of a reign of terror.
They evicted the miners from their
homes and employed hundreds of vicious gunmen, many of whom bad
been Imported from cities and communities outside of the state. They,,
armed theee men with deadly weapons and high power machine guns,
some of which were Installed In steel
constructed automobiles, which moved
quickly from place to place for the evident purpose of terrorising the miners
and their families. Many miners and
ttoelr representatives bave been shot
nnd killed.
Greeting:
We are In receipt of resolutions calling for a general strike on account of
the situation in Colorado.
■We wish to report to our membership that we have given these resolutions our most careful attention, and
have canvassed the situation most
thoroughly in regard to the feasibility
of calling a general strike at this particular time.
After surveying the situation from
every angle, we have come to the con-
slusion that lt is not the part of wisdom for the miners in the organized
states to engage in a general strike at
this particular time, believing that we
can better aid our gallant brothers in
Colorado by remaining at work, thus
insuring in a financial way our fullest
support to the men, women and chil-

in the great
Colorado.
In view of the importance of the situation in Colorado, we must be in a
position to properly finance the strike
in that state indefinitely, until the success of the miners' cause is assured,
and a general strike at this time mlgnt
jeopardize our position in thiff respect
without adding material to the success
of tl.e Colorado strike. We have
reached tbls conclusion only after mature thought and earnest consideration of the various Issues that would
be Involved in a general strike. It Is
vitally necessary that we continue to
feed, clothe and shelter ,for sn Indefinite period, the splendid men, women and children engaged in this
strike, and with proper moral and financial support from all trade unionists and llberty-lovlng citizens throughout the land, we are thoroughly-convinced that the Colorado strike can be
won In the not distant future,
Of course, if conditions In Colorado
{lo not Improve and if we do not receive proper protection from the Fed-
eral government, thia policy may be
changed to meet the exigencies of any
new situation that the future may de-
\ olop.
We call upon our membership every*,
where to bold them^lvfii In wllnpp*
in answer any call we may make upon I
■UiGiu, Vou can rest assured thst we]
ara firmly resolvwl to carry out any^

THE COLORADO SLAUGHTER
, Two radically different versions are
published concerning the events that
preceded the massacre at Ludlow,
Colo. One ds that the strikers attacked the militia without warning. The
other is that the militia were the aggressors, and, without adequate reason, advanced with machine guns
against the tent colony wnere strikers
were living with their families'. For
fourteen hours the' battle continued,
aojd women and children to 'the number of thirty were killed and about
twenty, men.
.The version of the strikers concerning the conflict is strongly suggested
by the lack of news as to casualties
suffered by the militia. Whichever
side was technically the agressor, it is
manifest that the military operations
were carried on a way that even Hu-
erta would be ashamed of, and that
the- soldiers for the time being acted
like savages.
Colorado for nine months bas been
trying to establish peace by the new
method of law enforcement—that Is,
fby suspending parts of the constitution end inciting public officers 'to
acts of lawlessness. The fundamental
rights of free speech and peaceable
assemblage bave been denied. 'Men
and women have been deported. Others have been thrown for weeks into
jail without charges being made
against tbem. The preposterous doctrine bas been advanced that it Is
possible at one and the same time to
have and not to have martial law in
the same territory; that the regular
courts shall be in session and yet at
the same time a military commander
may arrest, detain, and even execute
whom he pleases.
It is time in Colorado as everywhere
else to revert to the old method of order enforcement—that Is, under the
law and in accord with the law. The
new method has not worked well. It
has been a failure wherever tried, and
•has aggravated instead of stopped industrial disturbances. Paterson had
six months of semi-anarchy because
her authorities were lawless. The Calumet region has had six months of
continued disturbance because of official lawlessness. In Colorado, after
nearly a year of outrage, things are
worse than at the beginning.
The average man knows when fche
.public authorities are playing fair and
holding the balance true when there is
an industrial dispute. 'He also knows
when there is favoritism for one side
and when there is solicitude for the
protection of constitutional property
rights and no solicitude for the protec-
tion of constitutional personal rights.
It Is high time to get back in this
country to the old-fashioned legal principles. It is high time for those concerned about the maintenance of property rights to see the impolicy, if
they cannot see the wickedness, of
asking public officers to pick and
choose among rights, upholding some
and avoiding others.
The trouble in Colorado is over the
determination on the part of certain
employers to prevent the organization
of laibor unions amoiig__lhe]jL.emi>!o>i_t

■sen. The effort to block the enjoyment of a highly prized right which is
specifically recognized by the laws of
Colorado Is tbe cause of the strike, as
IMr. Rockefeller has admitted. -Men
willing to epend vast sums to prevent
their fellow citizens exercising privileges guaranteed to them by the law
cannot claim to be law-abiding. The
spirit of anarchy is in tbem, for there
