Per Ordine del COMITATO ESECUTIVO 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." $20,000 SUIT FOR DAMAGES AGAINST CITY Action Entered on Behalf of 8-Year- Old Clarence Dyson—Had a Hand Blown Off . ■ ; •.;, .Ttho «me or. tWT.udlow massacre there .Waa,.some question, as ..to whether these awassins shouid also be paid by thoiatata,-'< • ;"• '';. « '','...-■' '...

Skros Roskas EXECUTIVE BOARD 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.

And the. first man who .proposed any plan, Tto matter how inadequate, to remedy the land question wss followed.

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, _ The Peons Will'Fight Us ■It Is an Anglo-Saxon trait to con-, slder al\, other races as inferior.

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 ALEXANDER MACNEIL Barrister, Solicitor, Notary, ete. Offlcet: Eckstein Building, Fernie, B.C. 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. F. C. Laws Alex. I.

(he constitutional "governmenx; 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 tho republic In the revoliitlonnrv iirmy, a thing that nayer, happened beforo, und now possess a vory distinct national feeling, Villa's army Is not composed entirely of Northerners.

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.— Art Young, In the May Metropolitan.

During the year, 4 localities [ (Amsterdam, Ilion, Ogdensburg and Port Chester) entered the list and 2 tically confined to New York City.

If you are Interested, read the following: DOILTJ.O_SE^yQUE=WAGES Should you get Blck or hurt who is going to pay your bills? Should any misfortune befall you, would it mean your ruin and necessitate your re-sorting to charity? Should you find yourself tomorrow flat on your back in tho hospital, who is going to look after your, welfare? 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 Loss of both hands.Principal sum Loss of both feet,.,,Principal -sum Loss of one hand and one foot....

NEWNKAM, Editor-Manager. Telephone No. 48 Post Office Box No. 380 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. ■^-JB^^t~the-laborel'^n1^3t^T^ever-despair7^te'^^I^^)t■ 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. „ ^ JUDGE SUGGESTS STATE1HSURANGE ^ ....

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. ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦ ♦•♦ ♦ ♦ ♦-♦ <► ♦ ♦ ♦ HILLCREST NOTES ♦ Hillcrest.visited Frank on Saturday to fulfill their league fixture. <They kicked-off on scheduled time.

Hamilton; of Beaver jlnd Mountain IM11I, has resigned hlft_naA tre■ saying Ihe,will 'be unaWe to be in Coleman yoa., M&y 21th to administer •the "sa^ramtent of confirmation to the Catholic "children of the parish of Cglemaif and other towns in the Pass. On- Sunday, the 17th, Hia Lordship Bishop Pinkman, of Calgary, administered *he'sacrament of confirmation in the Anglican Church of Coleman to" eleven of '.the congregation (seven adults and four little girle). In the evening His Lordship Journeyed to Hillcrest and opened a new Church and dedicated it to St. Francis. About forty ladies anil gentlemen accompanied him.to Hillcrest. .Mrs. E. Willfeuns sang a solo In her usual masterly style. His Lordship returned to Coleman and-left-on Monday for Calgary. •Mrs. Samuel Shone, who has been sojourning for several months, has -returned and renewed acquaintances in Colemian. - iMr. and (Mrs. Alex.

His place is being taken by Mr. Howe, of Frank. The old hackneyed phrase, "Nothing doing," sums up the Industrial history of Beaver for the-present, and tbe catnip Is test approaching that of "Sweet Auburn, the deserted village" made famous by Oliver Goldsmith In hie celebrated poem. With the exception .of the mine officials and the few men employed about the boilers, almost all employees bave lelt the camp and are seeking fresh outlets for their labor power. Amongst others who left the camp last week waa Wm. Davies, who acted as local secretary here for three months last summer but resigned .when offered the position of Umber boss In the mine. Bill has gone to Join his wife and family in North Yorkshire, England, and as he Intends spending the remainder of his time on mother earth In the land of hts nativity, we wish him a safe Journey nnd success, Joe ftmlth, bsriber and pool parlor manager, paid a visit to Coleman last week, but finding the place praottolal- ly dead he packed his grips and left on Tuesday in hopes of rinding a crib where cash Is more plentiful. As a,.„. barber Joe was considered one of the mb- *"d purchased a thoroughbred b*»t i\n<I being a mvirtclan of no mean ability he mads many friends nnd was torai^autles aTfer~2? years' missionary service in the west. For some, time past, gossips have been .whispering that the elders and „ their minister have not pulled together in ohuroh harness-very agreeably, and that some 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. Doctor Connor visited Beaver last Tuesday and conveyed Mrs.'Dave Muir from Pincher Creek hospital to her home. We are pleased to note that ■Mrs, .Muir has quite recovered trom the effects of the operation she under- went a fortnight ago.

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 In the football game and renewing acquaintances. •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 twelve men to tbe coal prospects up the Elk river. A farewell party was given on <Mon- day at the Venesia Hotel, Nfctal, to Miss Emma Simmons, who Is leaving the town to be married to Mr. Nell Taylor. The marriage will take -place at Edmonton and their future home will be in the far north. Happiness nnd prosperity we wish both of them. ' The mines were idle from Thursday ll p. ro. to 7 a. m. Monday. A good dance and supper was given on Mondny night In Crahon's Hall. Kverybody enjoyed It 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 night to exchange fraternal greetings with the members of Fernie lodge, and report having a good tlmu The late arrival of the cash on pay day kind of disorganized business for the day.

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. Anyone wanting hot pies, sandiwiches, beans, coffee, etc., can learn more about same by investigating.

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. JOHN P. WHITE, President. PRANK J. HAYES, Vice President. WM. GREEN, •Secretary-Treasurer.

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- -.**■* o-oenu-m}- ionB^ngag-K Industrial struggle in The homes ot the striking miners have been Invaded, shot Into and many of them completely destroyed. •Hundreds of the striking miners bave been thrown Into prison and confined there without a charge against tbem. The officers of the United .Mine Workers of America have been harassed by legal prorp<>illnnrB, Indictments In tbe courts and civil suits aggregating a million of dollars. Newspapers who •fapoiMPd tho cnuse of the striking miners and ensnypd to print thp truth bttve btbn boycotted "nnd threatened with financial ruin. A long list of per- nncutlon^ culminated In the mam-mcre at Ludlow on April 20th. The brutality of the gunmen seemed at that time to reach Its climax.

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^ movo which we believe to be benefl-! dnl to the Colorado strikers, but at! this )i<utl(iil»r time we arc convinced tlmt the policy we have outlined above t*t tho wises! rourxu for iu to purnue.

Tv 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 .- ' ' * ,i 'X. "' '.

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. |
