Loggers Organizer Driven
Out of Cranbrook Gets a
Hearing in Fernie
A. McKenzie, organizer for the B. C,
Loggers' Union ,was driven out of
Cranbrook on* Friday last by a mob
wblch first made him hand over the
money which had been paid into him
as dues by lumberjacks who wished to
become members of the organization.
Ue had previously been ordered off the
property of the Ros&Saskatoon Lumber
Company at Waldo and given to understand that organization among the mill
workers and loggers in "this neck of
the woods" would not be tolerated.
(The iB. C. Loggers' Union has al.
ready accomplished much on the coast
in the way of improved camp conditions, hours, payments, etc., and the
lumber operators of the coast have "no
use" for such an organization. McKenzie is a lumberjack of many years
experience and has had' many trying
experiences since undertaking to or.
ganize his fellow workers. He is a
strong opponent of those who advocate
violence or sabotage and prefers to appeal to the reasons of men. On his
return from Cranbrook he was interviewed by The District Ledger and the
following letter (which has brought
no reply) was sent to the secretary of
the G. W. V. A.: ,
Fernie, B. C, .March 31, 1919.
Mr. L. Richardson, Secty. G. W. V. A.,
Cranbrook, 15. C.
Dear Sir:
The District Ledger has had an in.
tervlew with A. .McKenzie, organizer
for the B. C. Loggers' Union, in which
h'e tells us that he was driven out of
Cranbrook by returned soldiers and
tbat they forced him to give up money
which had been paid him by loggers
who wished to.become members of his
organization.
Wo are aware that /there are two
sides to every story and it is the desire of The District Ledger to see that
fair play is given in-every instance.
Wo wonld. thfirefore. appreciate it
jvery much if you would give U3 for
publication this" weelTa. statemenT or j Cranbrook receipts if they would

ceedings saying he wished to ask a
question. 1 courteously asked him
to wait until all tlie boys were through
signing up but he refused to do so and
there was nothing else for mo to do
but accede to his request. He asked
if I had been a delegate to the Western labor conference at Calgary and
1 told him I had been. He then asked
ir it was not true that at that confer,
euce resolutions were passed endorsing the Soviet government of Russia
and the Spartacan movement in Germany and I assured him it was true.
He then asked if I endorsed those re.
solutions myself and I told him that I
did./
"Continuing the questioner told me
they could not call my speech seditious aB they had paid particular attention to it but as I had been a dele,
gate to the conference at Calgary and
endorsed its views I was a Bolsheviki
and the people would not stand for
anarchy but for democracy. He denounced me and the organization as
being "detrimental to labor and thc
well being of the community." They
then took charge of the meeting and
passed resolutions condemning the actions of the labor mien at Calgary and
cleared the hall.
"I went to the Cranbrook hotel,
where I was staying, and had not been
in my room more than two minutes
before someone rapped at the door de.
manding admission. I opened the door
and quite a mob entered. Their spokesman demanded that I give up my
receipt book along with the money I
had collected for initiation fees and
dues from the loggers and that I im.
mediately beat it out of town. When
I showed a little hesitation one of the
gentlemen took out his watch and
curtly informed me that I would have
two minutes in which to comply.

OTTAWA HAS
A SOLUTION
FOR LABOR'S
GRIEVANCES
OTTAWA, April 2.—Hon. Gideon
Robertson, minister of labor, in the
senate today announced that the government is to appoint a commission of
five men consisting of labor men and
capitalists to study various conditions
with the object of arriving at a decision on the feasibility of joint control
in industry.
Better Cooperation
The government was working along
the lines of greater cooperation and
understanding and felt confident that
by this'means, by a better understand,
ing between employers and employees,
a more hopeful order could be secured. There were those who urged
upon the government the need for
strong action, for drastic regulations,
if Bolshevism was not to prevail and
life and property endangered, but, for
his own part, he was-of the opinion
that force was-not the remedy. On
the contrary he felt that tf the country
wanted Bolshevism the way to get it
was by force.
"One week ago," continued Senator
Robertson, "it was decided to hold a
conference with captains of industry.
They came to Ottawa—all of them
who could—and we discussed matters
all day last Friday, I laid before them
for consideration a certain course of
action and asked for their views as
to its wisdom and they gave it their
endorsation. And as a result of that

Calgary, and Its reflex will certainly

"The interests of the men are more
to me than individual self or my position," was the way Mr. Livett put
it when declaring his intention to resign as an international board member
at the end of the month. It might
be stated that he was elected to his
position by the members of District
No. 18 of the United Mine Workers
of America and is not a nominee of
the international itself, although he
is also a member of the policy com.
mitteee for this district.
In declaring that he is going out
to do his utmost to kill the new organisation, Mr. Livett stated that
whilst they all believed in industrial
unionism in order to attain that end,
there should bo no secessionist movement. "The One Big Union," he said,
"openly avowed its intention to with,

that the labor movement was never of

considered the suffering that might be

iations, and secondly, if tjiey an; in
favor of a six-hour work day.
Anyone who has studied tti-5 labor
movement, will, 1 believe, agre-3 with
me, that Industrial Unionism, is or
should be, the logical outcome of tho
Trades Union movement, and having
agreed that far, our only diitevence ot
opinion is as to how it ihould be
brought about, as this will I believe,
largely determine its eventual success.
Presonally, I believe that some torni
of organization should hive been out.
lined, and this should in my opinion
have been placed before the membership, for their acceptance or rejec.
tion, before they were asked as to
their desire to sever themselves from
their present form of organization, lt
would, in my opinion, have been far
better had the workers in each in.
dustry known as to how far each industry was to have its own autonomy,
and when any question was of sufficient importance to engage the atten..
tion of the organization as a whole.
Since I returned from the east on
Saturday last, I have spoken to a number of men who were at the Western
Conference, and who are^in full sympathy with the idea of the formation
of the O.B.U. and, these men in most
cases, have expressed themselves as
beileving that we shall at least for a
short time, suffer a setback in the la.| izations comes into the O.B.U. nt may

competing with this district in the
sama markets, are working from eight
to ten hours per day? It is at present
a matter of competition in the markets
ahd no one, no matter how desirous
of bringing about a six-hour day, can
gainsay the fact. In talking the mat.
ter over a few days ago with a member
of the central committee o fthe O.B.U.,
he stated that he doubted if the time
was opportune, tq engage in a strike
to bring this about.
These are matters which I believe
should be brought to the attention of
the membership, so that should they
decide to adopt the O.B.U. in whatever form it may eventually be
brought into existence and should a
setback occur and things not go as
they thought, they, should at least
know some the reasons aud be prepared to assume some of the responsibility.'
Again, numbers of men, who are
mine workers, seem to believe that
when we get an industrial form of or.
ganization we shall forthwith do away
with the contract system in the coal
mines, lt must be apparent to the
most casual observer, that coal mined
under tho contract system is produced
and placed on the market cheaper,
than coal mined under the day wage
system, here again is where the competitive system under which wo at
present work will, more nearly than
any other thing, be the determining
factor.
Should it be at this time possible
to get the transport workers as a
whole to get into the industrial movement I believe it might be a success,
but I do not think that they are as yet
educated to that point, ir, however,

yheJX^ttj^dqc-a\
THE DISTRICT LEDGER WILL
■9. BE SMALLER FOR TWO WEEKS
•For two weeks The District Ledger
will have to appear in four page size.
This is due to the fact that we have
undertaken to print iu book form the
Appeal Case in the matter of Rees and
Williams vs. Wayne Local union
which is to be taken to the Supreme
Court of Canada this month. The
evidence and judgments in the case
total about- five hundred typewritten
pages and The District Ledger is Iim.
ited in the possession of only ona lino-
type. Our contracted space-will compel us to boil down or hold back much
interesting matter but we hope to
make'up, wben we get-back to our
normal size.
THE DISTRICT LEDGER AND
THE ONE BIG UNION
The District Ledger is sometimes
oalled an "olllcial organ" of .vistrict
18. At the very outset of the pre.
sent editor's connection with this
journal he announced that so long as
the management remained in his hands
it would life "the miners' paper," rather
thantlio expression of officials. Without any instructions from officials The
District Ledger has stepped with both
feet right into the light for the ONE
BIG UNION. Wo are convinced that
in so doing we are taking a stand that
will be approved of by the rank and
file of District 18 and no murmur of
complaint has come to us from auy official except indirectly from Interna,
tional Board Member Livett who has
now resigned from the Board.
The District Ledger has a high regard for Mr, Livett as a man, much as
we disagree with his opinion in regard
to the ONE BIG UNION. It takes
courage to step out practically alone
and fight against ■ a movement which
Is meeting with such universal approval among the rank and file of
District 18 as*the ONE BIG UNION.
The only regrettable feature of the
matter is the associations which Mr.
Livett must make in the fight. He
will have the sympathy
should ask for it, which he will not)
the financial support of the operators,
thc government and the corrupt In.
dianapolis outfit in the light he proposes to put up against industrial
unionism and in his plea to the miners to be careful, to not sever their
connection, with the "international"
machine. , -
In his address at District 18 con.
vention a few weeks ago Mr. Livett
outlined his stand and he is holding
to his position. He said there that
"the first step on the part of the workers towards, reconstructing society
musi be political." Holding to that
days and bugful nights of the camps
by indulging in pleasures that often
are unwise. Cranbrook does not hold
a very high opinion of the genus lumberjack and, if the truth be told, thinks
that a miner is in the same category.
Such opinions are unfortunate.
There are people in Cranbrook who do
not look down on those men who have
the hardest, most dangerous and most
unpleasant work to do for the community. Even among the railway
men there is a big majority whose sympathy is with those on the lower rungs
of the ladder. Here and there .n-ay
be found a conductor who feels a iu.
pefiority. He has a job in whicn he
has prospered; has been able to buy
a car and to talk "high finance." He
has been able to dodge the spotters
I of the C. P. R. and really feels he is
generous to that corporation in splitting "fifty-fifty' * on the receipts of
fares paid in the .train and then to
supplement this graft he has what a
miner or a lumberjack would consider
a mighty good wage.
Now, it will be seen by our story on
page one, that one of the conductors
of the C. P. R. was very anxious to
"butt in" to affairs of which he has
no knowledge and to forbid Organizer
McKenzie from exercising the privi.
lege of free speech on board that train.
Conductor Jackson is a good fellow
and we would not like to see him come
to any harm. He would be missed by
a great many with whom his relations
have been mutually agreeable. We
would ask him, however, to pass the
word to other conductors who might
think their "graft" places them in a
position in which they can look with
contempt upon lumber jacks and miners, that these miners and lumber
jacks are very loyal to each other and
to their class. They despise spotters
but the exigencies of the occasion
might conquer for a brief period their
feelings and they might "buU in"- to
the affairs of the conductor's. iWe hope
we have made the hint plain enough.

SECRET SERVICE MEN TRY TO
PERPETUATE THEIR JOBS
Canada has more secret service men
at work today than she had during
the time of war. Surely there is no
idea that the country is now overrun
with enemy spies who are anxious to
destroy property, wreck troop trains
and furnish military information to our
foes!
Under our present system it is but
(and if he Natural that each pne of us should into hold on to and perpetuate his present job. Secret service men are
like the rest of us. They are, doing
tbeir level best to keep alive the spec,
ter of "Bolshevism" so that they can
be kept employed in suppressing it.
Last Sunday evening the editor of
this paper addressed a meeting at
Blairmore and had the pleasure of
seeing in the audience a man from the
secret service who was, there ready to
report any seditious utterance and to
keep his department informed regarding the growth of the real labor
movement. It was a pleasure to have
the man there and that pleasure was
The annual meeting of the Mountain Park *Co.operative Society took
place in the Picture Hall Wednesday,
■March 26th, 1919. The shareholders
showed their usual interest and were
well in attendance.
The president opened the meeting
and ordered the business report read.
The business transactions showed
very good results, which is the more
remarkable as the Society works with
a comparatively small capital and had
to recover from the year 1917 a loss
of $4,iiS9.65: at the end of 1918 the nett
piofit amounted to $5,237.93, thus giv-
,ing a total profit of J10.097.5S for 1918,
Some of the shareholders insisted
that this profit was too high and.only
accomplished.by selling at too high a
price, but they consider that this profit
was produced by turning over $115,
000.00 worth of goods, showing about
10 per cent nett profit, they must consider the profiit a legitimate and not
extremely high one. The Society is
now able to pay all the back interest
ou the share capital invested and it
is with the newly elected trustees to
decide if a dividend on the goods pur.
chased by the shareholders shall be
declared or not.
We consider it our duty to mention
here that these good results were not
obtained by high prices and overcharging the public but to a great
deal by the great interest the employees have shown in their respective
work.
We lik-e to mention here a few In.
cideuts: If the driver was sick the
head clerk was not afraid to drive the
delivery wagon and on the other hand
the driver was ailways willing to do
jobs not concerning him at all. Extra
teams to haul the goods from the
station were an established custom
under the old management: this haa
been eliminated and saved many dollars.
iBut we must not forget those of-our
customers which were always willing
to gtve their whole business to their
store even if some outsiders tried to
tempt them with cheaper prices.
They know that their dividend at the
end will more than equalize these ap-
pearlngly splendid .offers: They,were
true to the fundamental principle cf
co.operation.
Tbe officers and trustees were elected as follows: President, Mr.-, Jas.
Derbyshire; Sec-treas., Mr. J. S. Mie.
helln; Trustees, Mr. C. Taylor, J. P.
Derbyshire, Geo. Pike, II. King, P.
Barruzzini, John Berglund and John
Henderek.
iWe wish the newly elected officers
and trustees good success to the many-
tasks before them so that the Societies business at the end of another
year may prove that what we all
think it must be: an institution "for
the benefit of the people of Mountain
Park.

PARIS, April 2.—-Budapest advices
to tho French foreign office state that
Dela Kun, Hungarian foreign minister,
is willing to recognize the armistice of
November. Although the allied missions wore temporarily deprived of
their liberty in Hungary and finally
expelled, the new Hungarian government apparently does not consider it
has broken relations with the allies
and desires to maintain them.
In conference circles It Is felt that
the understanding by the Hungarians
of the neutral zone created between
Hungary and Rumania led to the orig.

EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS
Copyright. 1913. by W. G. Chapman
"I wn hours tlfli'l' i!.r. OiiiK :\ ni n ur

village. Al interval* ,,uv wns {.i-relied
high iu the bruiu'lii's nt n live which
eouid overlook the i-niK-iile Presently
ti Miinyuetiiit within Hie village fell,
pietveri by tt single .arrow, n silent mes-
seiiuerjif. death from out of the silent
r.tr<-st. ;
T-I'e Arabs'■and their followers were
ituown into a due riig« at thia unprecedented occurrence. Tbey ran for the
gates te wreak dire vengeance upon
the foolhardy perpetrator of the outrage, bet tbey suddenly realized that
tbey tiki not know which way to turn
to Sad the foe. Aa they stood debating, with stany angry shouts and much
geettealatfag, one of the Arabs sank
attest)? to the ground In tbelr very
midst—a thin arrow protruding from
bis heart
Taraoa hed placed tlie finest marksmen ef the' tribe In the surrounding
trees, with directions never to reveal
themselves while the enemy was faced
In their direction. Ab a black released
his messenger of death he would slink
bach behled the sheltering stem of the
tree he hud selected, nor would be again
aim until a watchful eye told him that
none was looking toward bis tree.
Three times the Arabs started across
tlie clearing In the direction from which
they thosgtit the arrows came, but
each time another arrow would come
from belli ad to take its toll from among
their aiimher. Then they would turn
and ^harge in ii new direction. Finally they set out upou a determined
search of the forest, but the blacks
melted before tbem so tlmt tbey saw
no sign of an enemy,
But above them lurked a grim figure
in the deaye foliage of tbe migbty trees
—it was Tarzan of the Apes, borerlng
orer them as if he tind been the shad-
tbe enemies' loss convinced the blacks
lhat no fewer than twenty had fallen
hefore their arrows. They were wild
win elation nnd were for finishing the
day lit one glorious rush iipon tbe "Village, during which they would slaughter the last of their foemen.
"You'are crazy!" Tarzan cried. "I
have shown yon the only way to flgbt
these people. You will fight just as I
tell you. to tight or I shall ieave you
and itt* back to my own country."
Tliey were frightened when he
threatened this and promised to obey
Dim Ri-rupuiotisly If he would but
pi'omi.'e'tiot to desert tliem.
"Very well." lie said, "We shall re-
him to ..the,'elephant' Doma for the
'nlirht. I have a plan* to give the Arabs
a little taste oi what they may expect
if tbey remain iu mir country, but I
shall need no neip."
So tbey man-bed nui-k lo their camp
of tbe previous uigiit aud, lighting
great tires, ate aud recounted tbe adventures ot the day until long after
dark. Tarzan slept until midnight,
then he arose and crept iuto tbe Cimmerian blackness of the forest. An
hour later he came to the edge of the
clearing before the village. There was
a camp lire burning within the palisade. The ape-man crept across tbe
clearing until be stood before tbe barred gates. Through the Interstices be
saw a lone sentry sitting before tbe
Are.
Quietly Tarzan went to the tree at
the end of the village street He
climbed softly to his place and fitted
ao arrow to his how. For several
minutes be tried to sight fairly upon
the sentry, but tbe waving branches
and flickering firelight convinced him
that the danger of a miss was too
great He must touch the heart full
in the center to bring tbe quiet and
Budden death bis plan required.
He bad brought beside his bow, arrows and rope the gun be bad taken
tbe previous day from the otber sentry
he bad killed. Caching all these In a
convenient crotch of the tree, he dropped Hgbtly to the ground within the
palisade, armed only with bis long
knife. The sentry's back was toward
him. Like a cat Tarzan crept upon
the dozing man.
Tarzan crouched for a spring, for
tbat is ever tbe quickest and surest attack of the jungle beast, when the
man. warned by some subtle sense,
sprang to bis feet aud faced tbe ape-
man.
CHAPTER XIX.
Victory For tho Waziri.
WHEN the eyes of the black
Manyuema savage fell upon
tke strange apparition that
confronted him with menacing knife they went wide In horror.
He forgot tbe gun within bis bands.
He even forgot to cry out. His one
thought was to escape tbls fearsome

upon him, and tben the sentry thought
to scream for aid. but It was too late.
A great band was upou his windpipe,
and be was being borne to tbe earth.
He battled furiously, but futllely.
With tbe grim tenacity of a bulldog
tbose awful fingers were clinging to
bla throat Swiftly and surely life was
being cboked from bim, His eyes
bulged, bis tongue protruded, bis face
turned to a ghastly, purplish hue
There was a convulsive tremor of tbe
stiffening muscles, and tbe Manyuems
sentry lay quite still.
Tbe ape-man threw tbe body across
one of bis broad abouldera and, gathering up tbe fellow's gun, trotted silent
ly up tbo sleeping village street toward tbe tree tbat gave bim sucb easy
Ingress to tbe palisaded village. Ba
boro tbe dead sentry Into tbe midst ot
tbe leafy mate above.
First be stripped tbe body of car
tridge belt and aucb ornaments aa he
craved, wedging It Into a convenient
crotch while bla nimble fingers ran
over It In search of lhe loot be could
not plainly sea In the dark. Wben ba
bad finished be took tba gun tbat bad
belonged to the man nnd walked far
out upon a limb, from tbe end of wblch
be could obtain a better view of tbe
hot* Drawing a careful bead on tba
beehive structure in wbleb be knew
tbe Arabs to bi be pulled tbe trigger.
Almost Instantly tbere waa an answering groan-Tartan smiled; ba bad made
another lucky bit
Following tbe abut there was a mo*
ment's silence In tbe cnmp. and tben
Mauyueutu aud Arab came pouring
from tbe huts like a swarm of angry
hornets; but, If the truth were known,
tbey were even mora frightened than
tbey were angry,
Wben tbey discovered thst thoir sentry bad disappeared tbelr fears wero
r'j-stiiMi madly amiss the clearing toward the jungle.
For a time no one turned back toward tbe thing that had frightened
them, but Tarzun fciipw that they
would in a' moiiii'iit. and when they
discovered that it was but the dead
body of their sentry, while tbey would
doubtless be still further■ terrltied. lie
had a rather definite idea as tu what
they would do. So he faded silently
away toward tliu south, hiking the
moonlit upper terrace back toward the
camp.of the Waziri: -,
Presently one of, ibe Arabs turned
and saw tbat the thing that bad leaped
from the tree upon them lay still and
quiet where it had fallen in the center
of tbe village street. Cautiously be
crept back toward it until he saw. that
it was but a man, A moment later he
was beside tbe figure and in another
bad recognized it as the corpse of tbe
Manyuema wbo tind stood on guard at
the village gate. ,
His companions rapidly gathered
around at bis call, und after a moment's excited conversation tbey did
precisely wbat Tarzan bad reasoned
they wonld. Raising tbeir guns to
their shoulders, tbey poured volley
I Under Tarzan's guidance the black
I Waziri warriors stationed themselves
j along the trail on either side in tbe
j densest underbrush.'* They stood at far
intervals, and us the column passed a
single arrow or a heavy spear, well
aimed, would pierce a Manyuema or
an Arab. Then the Waziri would melt
into the distance and run ahead to
take his stand farther'on. They did
not strike unless success were sure and
the danger of detection almost nothing,
j and so the arrows and tbe spears were
few and far between, but so persistent
and inevitable that the slow moving
column of heavy laden raiders was in
a constant state of panic—panic at the
pierFed body of the comrade who had
just fallen, panic at the uncertainty of
who the next would be to fall and
when. *
It was with the greatest difficulty
tbat tb<i Arabs prevented tbeir men a
dozen'times from throwing away their
burdens aud fleeing like frightened
rabbits up the trail .toward the north.'
And so tbe day wore on—a frightful
nightmare of a day for the raiders—a
day of weary but well repaid work for
the Waziri. At nlgbt tbe Arabs constructed a rude boma in a little clear-
after volley into the tree from which J *nS by a river and went Into camp,
tbe corpse bad been thrown. Had i At Intervals during the night a rifle
Tarzan remained there be would bave i would bark close above tbelr heads,

"Who are you that speaks the tongue

and then we shall give you our answer."
Tarzan stepped out of the jungle a
dozen paces from tbem.
"Look!" he said. When they saw
that he was white they were filled with
awe, for never had they seen a white
savage before, and at his great mus-
des and giant frame they were struck
Iwith wonder and admiration.
| "You may trust me," said Tarzan.
iMSo long as you do as i tell you and
harm none of my people, we shall do
you no hurt Will you take np our
ivory and return In peace to onr village or shall we follow along your trail
toward the north as we have followed
for the past three days?'
The recollection of the horrid days
that bad just passed was tbe thing tbat
finally decided the .Manyuema. and so.
lifter a short conference, ihey took up
their burdens and set off to retrace
their steps toward tbe village of the
Waziri.
At the end of the third day tbey
marched into the village gate and were
greeted by the survivors of the recent
massacre, to whom Tarzan had sent a
messenger In their temporary camp to
the south on tbe day that tbe raiders
had quitted the village, telling them
that they might return in safety-
It took al) the mastery and persuasion fhat Tarzan possessed to prevent
the Waziri falling on tbe Manyuema
tooth and nail nnd tearing them to
pieces, but when he had explained tbat
he had given bis word tbat tbey would
not be molested if they carried the
Ivory back to the spot from which tbey
had stolen it and hud further impressed upon his people that they owed
their entire victory to bim they Anally
acceded to his demands and allowed
the cannibals to rest ln peace within
tbelr palisade.
! That night tbe village warriors held
a big palaver to celebrate their victories and to choose a new chief. Since
old Wazirl's death Tarzan had been
directing the warriors In battle, and
the temporary command had been
tacitly conceded to him. Tbere had
been no time to choose a new chief
from among their own number, and In
fact so remarkably successful had tbey"
lieen under tbe ape-man's generalship
that they had bad no wish to delegate
the supreme authority to another for
fear that wbat they already bad gained might be lost. They had so recently seen the results of running counter
to this savage white man's advice in
the disastrous charge ordered by Waziri, in which he Himself had died, that
It bad not been diilietilt tor tbem. to
accept Tarzan's authority as final.
The principal warriors sat In a circle
about a small lire to discuss the relative merits of whomever might be stig-
Rpsted as Old Wazirl's successor.* it
was Busiill who spoke -faati-—

TENTATIVE OUTLINE OF
INDUSTRIAL ORGANIZATION
The Press is not abusing the Western
Labor Conference ano villifying the
ONE BIG UNION because it has
Nothing else to do. It is Speaking
on Behalf of its Masters, the Em.
ploying Class. . It is Pursuing its
Logical Program of Belittling any
Honest Effort of the Workers to
"Cease Chasing Rainbows," and Organize on a Basis that alone will
Ensure to Them a Chance of Meet,
ing the Masters on the Industrial
Field. .It is Now Praising "Craft"
Organizations (which in times past
it abused and conaemned because It
Realizes that Craft Unionism cannot Disturb its Masters.
Many questions no doubt present
themselves to the minds of the aver,
age members of organized labor who
are honestly desirous of Improving
their form of organization, chief of
which we imagine will be: —
"How shall we go about the formation of the ONE BIG UNION?"
And many think that before they
jpan ;vote' even upon the question that
they must sever their connections
with their present International Union, that Is not so.
(Let us bring to your attention re.
commendation No.'s 5 & 6, of the Policy Committee of the Western Confer-,
ence (see press for resolution cr re.
port—In Bulletin, of course, those will
be given in full. WAP) I
No. 5, you will see, shows that in
promoting the new form of organiza-j
tion, we shall work through existing
bodies, and that no DEFINITE steps
can be taken until we are assured by
the VOTE OP THE RANK AND PILE
that they desire Industrial Organization.
No. 6, you will further observe, de.
mands a further conference of representatives of ail Trades Councils
and District boards, who shall perfect
plans of organization and develope a
definite line of action.
Tho Central Executive Committee is
but a temporary body, elected to prepare propaganda and issue and re.
cieve ballots en the referendum. We
cannot therefore take on work to
which we have not been committed
and concerning which we have not
been instructed.
However,'it appears that many opponents who KNOW BETTER, and
other workers, who are honest but do
not know, think that T>y Industrial
Organization we shall throw the workers together promiscuously without
reg&r for the industry, bottle washers.-
boiler makers and musicians, for in.

DUSTIUAL ORGANIZATION MUST
BE ACCORDING TO INDUSTRY, I.E.,
SHIPBUILDING, BUILDING TRADES,
MINING, TRANSPORTATION, PUBLIC SERVICE (civil employees).
These will be sub-divided according to
trades, necessarily, but will discuss
together all common questions, aud
vote and act on them together.
Do you see the difference?
Instead of one TRADE acting, or
coming out on strike, by itself, it will
and can only act, together Vith OTH.
ER TRADES .of 'the'SAME INDUSTRY.
When we do write a constitution for
the new industrial Organization, it
MUST be drafted UPON THE UNBS
OF INDUSTRY AS THEY AT PRESENT EXIST, and to that extent work.
ers will be organized to their ASSOCIATIONS IN THE PRODUCT OF
THEIR JOINT LABOR, and not by
the "craft" they follow. The "craft"
(the work of the "skilled" workman)
is being wiped out by the machine.
Industrial Organization is an advance upon the old and now obsolete
"craft" form, because it places the
workers in a position whereby they
can function effectively In defence and
for such concessions that market con.
ditions will allow.
One Big Union of the workers would
be impracticable unless cast in the
SAME MOULD AS TUB INDUSTRIAL
SYSTEM in which we Uve and work.
If we are prepared, as members of
the working class , to recognize each
other as comrades of ope big body, OF
ONE CLASS, then the next logical
step is to so organize as to place our
forces in the same relation to employers as they are to us.
Later we hope, if finances permit,
to publish a leaflet showing the reduced overhead expenses ot Indus,
trial Organization, as against the
present "craft" form., i.e., that Industrial Organization is cheaper and more
efficient for Its members. This will
be our next Bulletin. -'Look but for ft!

„!ri;.j THE DISTRICT LEDGER, PERNIE, B. C, APRIL 4,1919
THE DISTRICT LEDGER WILL
*, BE SMALLER FOR TWO WEEKS
For two weeks The District Ledger
will have to app&ar in four page siae.
This is due to the fact that we have
undertaken to print in book form the
Appeal Case in the matter of Rees and
Williams vs. Wayne Local union
which is to be taken to the Supreme
Court of Canada this month. The
evidence and judgments in the case
total about five hundred typewritten
pages and The District Ledger is Iim.
ited in the possession of only one lino-
type,. Our contracted space, will compel us to boil down or hold back much
Interesting matter but we hope to
make up when we get'back to our
normal size.
THE DISTRICT LEDGER AND
THE ONE BIG UNION
The District Ledger is sometimes
oalled an "offleial organ" of District
18. At the very outset of the pre.
sent editor's connection with this
journal he announced that so long as
the management remained in his hands
it would be "the miners' paper," rather
than the expression of officials. With-
out any instructions from officials The
District Ledger has stepped with both
feet right into the light for the ONE
JUG UNION. We are Convinced that
in so doing we are taking a stand that
will be approved of by the rank and
file of District 18 and no murmur of
complaint has come to us from any official except indirectly from Interna,
tional Board Member Livett who has
now resigned from the Board.
The District Ledger has a high regard for Mr. Livett as a man, much as
we disagree with his opinion in regard
to the ONiB BIG UNION. It takes
courage to step out practically alone
and fight against a movement which
is meeting with such universal approval among the rank and file of
District 18 as the ONE BIG UNION.
Tiio owly regrettable feature * of the
matter is the associations which Mr.
Livett must make in the light. He
will have the sympathy (and if he
should ask for it, which he will not)
the financial support of the operators,
the government and the corrupt In.
dianapolis ^outfit in the fight he proposes to put up against industrial
unionism and in his plea to the miners to bo tjareful, to not sever their
connaction with the "international"
machine.
In his address at District 18 con.
vention a few weoks ago Mr. Livett
outlined his stand aud he is holding
to his position. He said there that
"the first step on the part of the workers towards* reconstructing society
must be political." Holding to that
belief' he sees in the program of ONE
"Bits UiNiyN wnat ne considers a dan-
ger. The ONK BIG UNION does not
days and bugful nights of tho camps
by indulging in pleasures that often
are unwise, Cranbrook does not hold
a very high opinion of the genus lumberjack and, if the truth be told, thinks
that a miner is in the same category.
j Such opinions are unfortunate.
There are people in Cranbrook who do
not look down on those men who have
the hardest, most dangerous and most
unpleasant work to do for the community. Even among the railway
men there is a big majority whose sympathy is with those on the. lower rungs
of the ladder. Here and there .imy
be found a conductor who feels a -iu.
pcriority. He has a job in tvhicn he
has prospered; has been able to buy
a car and to talk "high finance." He
has been able to dodge the spotters
of the C. P. *R. and really feels he is
generous to that corporation in splitting "fifty-fifty' " on the receipts of
fares paid in the train and then to
supplement this graft he has what a
miner or a lumberjack would consider
a mighty good wage.
Now, it will be seen by our story on
page ohe, that one of the conductors
of the C. P. R. was very anxious to
"butt in" to affairs of which he has
no knowledge and to forbid Organizer
McKenzie from exercising the privi.
lege of free speech on board that train.
Conductor Jackson is a good fellow
and we would not like to see him come
to any harm. He would bo missed by
a great many with whom his relations
have been mutually agreeable Wo

The annual meeting of the Mountain Park Cooperative Society took
place in the Picture Hall Wednesday,
■March 26th, 191'J. The shareholders!
showed their usual interest and were!
well in attendance.
The presideut opened the meeting
and ordered the business report read.
The business transactions showed
very good results, which is the more
remarkable as the Society works with
a comparatively small capital and had
to recover from the year 1917 a loss
of $4,589.03: at the end of 1918 the nett
profit amounted to $5,237.93, thus giving a total profit of $10,097.58 for 1918.
Some of the shareholders insisted

NOTICE
Canada has more secret service men
at work today than she had during
the time of war. Surely there is no
idi>a that the country is now overrun
with enemy spies who are anxious to
destroy property, wreck troop trains
and furnish military information to our
foes!
Under our present system'it is but
natural that each pne of us should trv
to hold on to and perpetuate his present job. Secret service men are
like the rest of us. They are doing
their level best to keep alive the spec.
ter of "Bolshevism" so that they can
be kept employed in suppressing it.
Last Sunday evening the editor of
this paper addressed a meeting at
Blairmore and had the pleasure of
seeing in the audience a man from the
secret service who was there ready to
report any seditious utterance and to
keep his department informed regarding the growth of the real labor
movement. It was a pleasure to have
the man there and that pleasure was
accentuated* whan th-a vnt&„iun.g-t^tenj-t;
deal by the great Interest the employees have shown in their respective
work.
We like to mention here a few in.
cidents: If the driver was sick the
head clerk was not afraid to drive the
delivery wagon and on the other hand
the driver was always willing to do
jobs not concerning him at all. Extra
teams to haul the goods from the
station were an established custom
under the old management: this haa
been eliminated and saved many dollars.
iBut we must not forget those of-our
customers which were always willing
to give their whole business to their
store even If some outsiders tried to
tempt them with cheaper prices.
They know that their dividend at the
er.d will more than equalize these ap-
pearingly splendid offers: They were
true to the fundamental principle of
co.operation.
The officers and trustees were elected as follows: President, Mv., Jas.
Derbyshire; Sec-treas., Mr. J, S. Mie.
helin; Trustees, Mr. C. Taylor, J. P.
Derbyshire, Geo. Pike, -H. King, P.
Barruzzini, John Berglund and John
Henderek.
iWe wish the newly elected officers
and trustees good success to the many
tasks before them so that the Societies business at the end of another
year may prove that what we all
think it must be: an institution for
the benefit of the people of Mountain
Park.

In a letter In this issue President
Christophers states his position. He
is an industrial unionist who has no

procedure which has been adopted and
has, we thlnkv no great need for the

Mountain Park, March 29.—Today
we have a'real spring day in (Mountain
Park, so far as the temperature is con.
cerned. The ground is still under a
heavy cover of snow and will be for
some Unie. But the weather has had
a good effect on the different sports cf
the town and under the able leadership
of Cecil Itodway the Mountain Park
Athletic Club was organized. The
following officers and committee were
elected:
President, *Cocil Rodway; secretary,
Tom Eccleston; tennis commitoa, B.
Rhodes, R. II. John; baseball committee, Fred Steppy, tH. iLetcher; foot,

The meeting was well attended and
great Interest shown in the proceedings.
The matter of financing is always
a problem but the meeting was Jua.'i-
fied in deciding to appeal to the public
for a suhscription.
We believe the newly established
club will find genferous support and
hope that all well meaning citizens and
friends of a good and sound sport will
willingly dig into their pockets and
give liberally.
We understand this meeting to be a
preliminary one to lead the way to one
of the biggest .M. P. has ever seen,
which will he called in the near future.
All good sports are therefore asked
to watch for the .announcement and
everybody is cordially invited to at.

fnn-st. , "
Tl'** Arnlis and their followers were
iiirnuii tnto a Une rage Ht this unprecedented occurrence. Tbey ran for tiie
gates to wreak dire vengeance upon
the foolhardy perpetrator of the out-
•rage, but they suddenly realized that
they did not know which way to turn
to tad the foe. As they stood debating, with Many angry shouts and much
gesttenlatiag, one of the Arabs sank
attest!? ts the ground In their very
mMst-a thin arrow protruding (rem
his heart
Tanas bed placed the finest marksmen sf the tribe In the surrounding
trees, with directions never to reveal
themselves while the enemy was faced
ta their direction. As a black released
his messenger of death be would slink
bach beblad tbe sheltering stem of the
tree he bed selected, nor would be again
aim until a watchful eye told him that
none was looking toward bis tree.
Three times the Arabs started across
tbe clearing In tbe direction from which
tb*ey theaght the arrows came, but
each time another arrow would come
from behind to take its toll from among
their lumber. Then they would turn
and charge in a new dlrectfon. Finally they set out upon a determined
search of the forest, but the blacks
melted before tbem so that tbey saw
no sign of an enemy.
But above tbem lurked a grim figure
in the dense foliage of the migbty trees
—lt wos Tarzan of tlie Apes, hovering
over tbem as if he bntl been the shad-
tbe enemies' loss convinced the blacks
lhat'no fewer thnn twenty had fallen
before their arrows. They were wild
witb elation and were for finishing the
dny 1n one glorious rush upon tbe vil-
lage. during which they would slaughter the last of their foemen,
"Yon are crazy:" Tarzan cried. "1
have shown you tbe only way to fight
thciH people. Yon will fight just as I
tell yon to fight or .1* shrill leave you
:md git hack to my own couutry."
They were frightened when he
threatened this and promised to obey
tit*ii Ri-ruimioHsly if he would but
liruiiii.sc not to desert them.
"\ ery well." lit* said. "We shall return to the ..elephant hoimi for the
nlirlit. I have n plnn to jrlve the Arabs
a little taste oi whnt tbey may expect
If they remain iu mir i-omitry, but I
shall need no ncip.''
So tbey man-tied bark to their camp
uf the previous nigtit aud, lighting
great tires, ate and recounted the adventures ot the day until long after
dark. Tarzan slept uutil midnight,
then, he arose and crept Into tbe Clm-
merlau blackness of the forest. An
hour later he came to the edge of the
clearing before the village. There was
a camp lire burning within tbe palls-;
ade. Tbe ape-man crept across the
clearing until he stood before the barred gates. Through the interstices he
saw a lone sentry sitting before the
fire. .-'« .,
Quietly Tancan went to the tree at
the end of tbe village street He
climbed softly to bis place and fitted
an arrow to bis bow. For several
minutes be tried to sight fairly upon
the sentry, but tbe waving branches
and flickering firelight convinced him
that the danger of a miss was too
great He must touch the heart full
in the center to bring the quiet and
sudden death bis plan required.
He bad brought beside his bow, arrows and rope the gun be bad taken
the previous day from the other sentry
be bad killed. Caching all these in a
convenient crotch of tbe tree, be dropped ligbtly to tbe ground within tbe
palisade, armed only with his long
knife. The sentry's back was toward
him. Like a cat Taraan crept upon
the dozing man.
Tarzan crouched for a spring, for
tbat is ever tbe quickest and surest attack of the Jungle beast when the
man. warned b? some subtle sense,
sprang to bis feet and faced the ape-
man.
i"'sln-i1 madly m-iiiss III.-' clearing toward the j unfile.
For a timj* no one turned hack toward the thing that had frightened
them, but Tarzan ftiifw ttmt they
vvould in a* moment, ami when tiiei"
discovered that it was but the (lead
body of their sentry, while tiie.v would
doubtless be still further terrified, lie
had a rather definite idea■'ii-s"to what
they would do. So he faded ■ silently
away toward the south, taking the
moonlit upper terrace biiVk* toward the
ca m p of the Waziri. •,
Presently oue of. ibe Arabs turned
and saw that tbe thing tbat had leaped
from the tree upon theni lay still and
quiet where it had fallen iu the center
of the village street. Cautiously he
crept back toward it until,be saw. tbat
it was but a man, A moment later he
was beside the figure aud in another
had recognized it as the corpse of the
Manyuema who bad stood on 'guard"at
the village gate;
His companions rapidly gathered
around at his call, und after-a moment's excited conversation tbey did
precisely what Tarzan had reasoned
tbey would. Raising their guns to
tbeir shoulders, they poured volley
Under Tarzan's guidance the black
Waziri warriors stationed themselves
along the trail ou either side in the
densest underbrush. Tliey stood at far
intervals, aud as the column passed a
single arrow or a heavy spear, well
aimed, would pierce a Manyuema or
an Arab. Then the Waziri would melt
into the distance and run ahead to
take his stand farther ou. They did
not strike unless success were sure and
the danger of detection almost nothing,
and so the arrows aud tbe spears were
few and far between, but so persistent
and inevitable that the slow moving
column of heavy laden raiders was in
a constant state of panic—panic at the
pierc*ed. body of the comrade who had
just fallen, panic nt the uncertainty of
who the next would be to fall and
when.
It was with the greatest difficulty
that tbe Arabs prevented their men a
j dozen'times from throwing away their
burdens aud fleeing like frightened
rabbits up the trail toward tbe north.
And so tbe day wore on-a frightful
nightmare of n day for the raiders—a
day of weary but well repaid work for
tbe Waziri. At night the Arabs coo*
structed a rude boma ln a little clear-
after volley Into the "tree from which ] ,DS by a river and went Into camp.

'tree abovo tbe vlllago, had ataria-d tbt
man upon whose massive rolling muscles and mighty chest tbe flickering
firelight played.
But before be could turn Tarzan waai
upon him. and tben the sentry thought
fo scream for aid. but It was too late.
A great band was upon bis windpipe,
and be was being borne to the earth.
He battled furiously, but futlleiy.
Witb the grim tenacity of a bulldog
those awful fingers were clinging to
bis throat 8wif Uy and surely lire waa
being choked from bim. His eyes
bulged, bla tongue protruded, bla face
turned to a gbastly, purplish hue.
There wns a convulsive tremor of tbe
stiffening muscles, and tbe Manyuema
sentry lay quite atill.
Tbe ape-man threw tbe body acrosa
one of bla brood shoulders and, gathering up tbe fellow's gun. trotted silently up tbe Bleeping village street to*
ward tbe tree tbat gave bim aucb easy
Ingresa to tbe palisaded Tillage. Ho

the leafy maie above.
Flrat bo stripped tbe body of cartridge belt aud such ornaments at be

ont apon a limb, from tbe end of wbleb
be eould obtain a better view of tbe
buta, Drawing a careful bead on tbo
beehive otrueture In wbleb be knew
tno Arabe to be. be pulled tbe trigger.
Almost Instantly there was an answering grosn-Tsrian smiled; bo bad made
another lucky hit
Following tbo shot there waa « mo-
the corpse bad been thrown. Had
Tarzan remained there be would have
been riddled by a hundred bullets.
When the Arabs and Manyuema discovered that tbe only marks of violence upon tbe body of tbeir dead comrade were giant finger prints upon his
swollen throat tbey. were again thrown
into deeper apprehension and despair.
That they were not even safe within
a palisaded village at night came aa a
distinct shock to them. Tbat an enemy could enter the midst of their camp
and kill their sentry with bare hands
seemed outside the bonds of reason,
and so tbe superstitious Manyuema
Commenced to attribute their ill. luck
to supernatural causes, nor were tbe
whites able to offer any better explanation.
With at least fifty of tbelr number
flying through the black Jungle, and
without the Slightest knowledge of
when their uncanny foemen might resume tbe cold blooded slaughter tbey
had commenced, it was a desperate
band of cutthroats that waited sleep-
lessly for the dawn. Only on the promise of tbe Arabs tbat they would leave
the village at daybreak, and hasten onward toward their own land, would
tbe remaining Manyuema consent to
stay at the village a moment longer.
Not even fear of tbelr cruel masters
was sufficient to overcome this new
terror.
And so it was that when Tarzan and
his warriors returned to the attack tho
next morning tbey found the raiders
prepared to march out of the village.
The Manyuema were laden with stolen ivory. As Tarzan saw it be grinned, for be knew tliat they would not
carry it far. Then he saw something
At intervals during the night a rifle
would bark close above their heads,
and one of tbo dozen sentries which:
they now bad posted would tumble to
tbe ground. Sucb a condition was insupportable, for tbey saw tbat by,
means of these hideous tactics they,
would be completely wiped out, one by
one. without inflicting a single daatb
upon thfclr enemy. But yet, with tbo
persistent avariciousness of the white
man, tbe Arabs 'clung to their Jpot and
wben morning came forced the demoralized Manyuema to take up their burdens of death and stagger on into tbo
Jungle
For three days the withering column
kept up its frightful march. Each
hour was marked by its deadly arrow
or cruel spear. The nights were mado
hideous by the barking of tbe invisible
gun tbat made Sentry duty equivalent
to a death sentence-
On the morning of tbe fourth day
the Arabs were compelled to shoot two
of tbelr blacks before they could compel tbe balance to take up the hated
ivory, and as they did so a voice rang
out clear and strong from the jungle:
"Today you die, oh, Manyuema, unless you lay down the ivory. Fall upon
your cruel masters and kill them! Tou
bave guns, why do you not use them?
Kill the^Arabs, and we will not barm
you. We will take you back to our village and feed you and lead you out of
our country In safety and ln peace.
Lay down tbe ivory and fall upon your
masters. We will help you. Else you
die!"
As the voice died down the raiders
stood as though turned to stone. The
Arabs eyed their Manyuema slaves.
The slaves looked first at one of their
-sa«ager^!8-^iaa.M>.*lH&^T^h}^^
of the Manyuema were lighting torches ln the remnant of tbe camp fire.
They were about to fire the village.
Tarzan,was perched in a tall tree
some hundred yards from tbe palisade.
Making a trumpet of (is bands, be
called loudly in tbe Arab tongue: "Do
not fire tbe huts or we shall kill you
all I Do not fire tbe huts, or we shall
Ull you alll"
A dozen times be repeated It Tbe
Manyuema hesitated; tben one of tbem
flung bis torch into tbe camp fire. Tbe
others were about to do tbe name wben
an Arab sprang upon tbem with a
stick, beating tbem toward the buta.
Tarsau could aee tbat be waa commanding tbem to lire tbe little thatch-
ed dwellings. Tben ho stood erect upon
tbe swaying branch a hundred feet
above tbe ground, and, raising one of
tbe Arab guns to bit shoulder, took
careful tlm and fired. Witb tbe report
tbe Arab wbo waa urging on bit men
to burn tbe village fell in hit traeka,
and tbe Manyuema threw away tbelr
torches and fled from tbe Ullage. Tbe
Ittt Tartan taw of tbem tbey were
racing toward tbe jungle, while tbelr
former matters knelt opon tbe ground
and fired at tbem.
But however angry tbe Arabe might
bave been at tbe Insubordination ot
tbelr slaves, tbey were at least convinced tbat It would be tbe better part
ot wisdom to forego tbe pleasure ot
firing the village tbnt had given tbem
I two tuch natty receptions. In their
hearts, however, tbey swore to return
again witb aucb* a force aa would enable tbem to aweep tbe entire country
for mtlea around until no vestige of
human lift remained.
TBey
were but waiting for some one to take
the inltitaive. There were some thirty
Arabs left and about 150 blacks. All
were armed-even those who were act-
log as porters had their rifles slung
across their backs.
Tbe Arabs drew together. Tbe sheik
ordered the Manyuema to take up the
march, and as be spoke be cocked bis
rifle and raised it But at tbe same
instant one of the blacks threw down
hia load, and, snatching bis rifle from
bit back, fired point blank at tbe group
of whites. In an Instant tbe camp
was a cursing, bowling mast of de-
"Who are you that speaks tbe tongue
of our Arab masters?" cried tbe Manyuema spokesman. "Let us see you
and then we shall give you our answer."
Tarzan stepped out of the jungle a
dozen paces from them.
"Look!" he said. When they saw
that he was white they were filled witb
awe, for never had they seen a white
savage before, and at his great muscles and giant frame tbey were struck
Iwith wonder and admiration. -
j "You may trust me," said Tarzan.
("go long as you do as I tell you and
iharm none of my people, we shall do
you no hurt Will you take up our
ivory and return in peace to our village or shall we follow along your trail
toward the north as \ve have followed
for the past three days?"
The recollection of the horrid days
that had just passed was the thing tbat
finally decided the Manyuema. and so.
after u short conference, they took up
their burdens aud set off to retrace
tlieir steps toward the village of tbe
Waziri.
At tbe end of the third day tbey
marched Into the village gate and were
greeted by the survivors of tbe recent
massacre, to whom Tarzan had sent a
messenger in their temporary camp to
the south on the day that tbo raiders
had quitted the village, telling them
that they might return In safety.
It took all the mastery and persuasion tbat Tarzan possessed to prevent
the Waziri falling on the Manyuema
tooth and nail and tearing them to
pieces, but when he bud explained that
he bad given bis word that tbey would
not be molested if they carried the
ivory back to tbe spot from which tbey
bad stolen It and had further Impressed upon his people tbat tbey owed
tbelr entire victory to him they finally
acceded to bis demands and allowed
tbe cannibals to rest In peace within
tbelr palisade.
1 Tbat night the village warriors held
a big palaver to celebrate tbelr victories and to choose a new chief. Since
old Waziri's death Tarzan bad been
directing tbe warriors In battle, and
tbe temporary command bad been
tacitly conceded to him. Tbere had
been no time to choose a new chief
from among tbeir own number, and In
fact so remarkably successful bad they
been under the ape-man's generalship
tbnt tbey hnd bad no wish to delegate
tbe supreme authority.to another for
fear that wbat they already had gained might be lost. They bad so recently seen the results of running counter
to this savage white man's advice hi
the disastrous charge ordered by Waziri. in which he himself had died, that
It bad ui'it been ditlicii|t for tliem to
accept Tarzan's authority as final.
The principal warriors sat in a circle
about ix small fire to discuss the relative merits of whomever might be suggested ns old Waziri's successor. It 110U

TENTATIVE OUTLINE OF
INDUSTRIAL ORGANIZATION
The Press is not abusing the Western
Labor Conference anO villifying the
ONE BIG UNION because it has
Nothing else to do. It is Speaking
on Behalf of its Masters, the Em.
ploying Class. .It is Pursuing its
Logical Program of Belittling any
Honest Effort of the Workers to
"Cease Chasing Rainbows," and Organize on a Basis that alone will
Ensure to Them a Chance of Meet,
ing the Masters on the Industrial
Field. .It is Now Praising "Craft"
Organizations (which in times past
it abused and conaemned because it
Realizes that Craft Unionism cannot Disturb its Masters.
Many questions no doubt present
themselves to the minds of the aver,
age members of organized labor wlio
are honestly desirous of improving
their form of organization, chief of
which we imagine will be: —
"How shall we go about the formation of the O.VE BIG UNION?"
A.n<i many think that before thoy
can vote even upon the question that
they must sever their connections
with their present International Union. That is not so.
■Let us bring to your attention recommendation No.'s 5 & 6, of tho Policy Committee of the Western Confer-']
ence (see press for resolution cr re.
port—in .Bulletin, of course, theae will
be given in full. WAP)
No. 5, you will see, shows that In
promoting the new form of organization, we shall work through existing
bodies, and that no DEFINITE steps
can be taken until we are assured by
the VOTE OF THE RANK AND FILE
that they desire Industrial Organization.
No. 6, you will further observe, de.
mands a further conference of representatives of all Trades Councils
and District boards, who shall perfect
plans of organization and deyelope a
definite line of action.
The Central Executive Committee is
but a temporary body, elected to prepare propaganda and issue and re.
cieve ballots on the referendum. We
cannot therefore take on work to
which we have not been committed
aiid concerning which we have not
been instructed.
However, it appears that many opponents who KNOW BETTER, and
other workers, who are honest but do
not know, think -that by. Industrial
Organization we shall throw the workers together promiscuously without
regar for the industry; bottle washers,
boiler makers and musicians, for in.
stance. Such a contention is ridiculous on the face of it Craft organiza-

nUSTRIAL ORGANIZATION -SnJST
BE ACCORDING TO INDUSTRY, IJiJ.,
SHIPBUILDING. BUILDING TRADES,
■MINING. TRANSPORTATIO>f, PUBLIC SERVICE (civil employees).
These will be sub-divided according to
trades, necessarily, but will discuss
together all common ii'Jestions, aud
vote and act on tbem together.
Do you see the difference?
**-Instead., of one TRADE acting, or
coining out on strike, by itself, it will
and can only act, together with OTH.
ER T-RA'DES of the SAME INDUSTRY.
When'we do write a constitution for
the new Industrial Organization, it
MUST be drafted UPON THE LINES
OF INDUSTRY AS THEY AT PRESENT EXIST, and to that extent work.
ers will be organized to their ASSOCIATIONS IN THE PRODUCT OP
THEIR JOINT LABOR, and uot by
the "craft" they follow. Th© "craft"
(the work of the "skilled" workman)
is being wiped cut by the machine.
Industrial Organization is an advance itpon the old and now obsolete
"craft" form, because it places the
workers in a position whereby they
can function effectively In defence and
for such concessions that market con.
dltlons will allow.
One Big Union of the workers would
be impracticable unless cast in the
SAME MOULD AS TUB INDUSTRIAL
SYSTEM In which we Uve ahd work.
If we are prepared, as members ot
the working class , to recognize each
other as comrades of one big body, OF
ONE CLASS, then tba next logical
step is to so organize as to place our
forces In the same relation to employers as thoy are to us.
Later we hope, If finances permit,
to publish a leaflet showing tho reduced overhead expenses of Indus,
trial Organization, as against the
present "craft" form., I.e., that Industrial Organization Js cheaper and more
efficient for its members. This will
be our next Bulletin. *I.<ook out for it!

O GLADSTONE LOCAL NOTES P
P «>
PP-P&PPPP. *P~PP4P -P*PPPP,
The B.C. eight-hour law came into
effect April 1st, 1 thought there was no
loop-hole in it, but say, there was nev.
er an Act passed thnt you could not
rive a double.barrel id molly engine
through. I thought also tftat the eight
hour law included lunch time. Tho
coal company thought it did not, so
to be very kind to its employees and
so that they could catch the 3:45 train,
they allowed them to commence to
work about 15 minutes to seven, and
stop work at 3:15.
\Vo wired the (Minister of Mines for
an interpretation. He told us what we
already knew, and that was the eight-
hour law, meant one shift in every
twenty-four. We wire again "Does
the eight.hour include lunch time?"
Back came the reply, "In the chief inspector's mind it did not, in his opinion, when a man was eating his lunch
he was not working for his employer,"
A glorious interpretation. In our
opinion he was very much working
for his emiployer. We understand that
