C, A&tlL 4,1919 Printed by Union Labor 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 the returned soldiers' sido of the case 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.

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 Int. Bd. Member Livett In Fight Against One Big Union President Christophers and His Position Regarding One Big Union (Lethbridge Herald) CALGARY, April 1—The first conference, instead of parliament or the government saying to labor and capital, 'do this or do that,' we propose appointing a small commission of five men who will absolutely com. mand tho confidence of the public asking them to proceed to all centres of industry, to s get" all the facts their recommen | Should Retain Identity j "My idea of industrial unionism," de-;Said Mr. Livett, is "that each organ. cisive step to get out and smash the | jZation retains its indentity and have One Big Union was taken in Calgary jan affiliated understanding with the Tuedsay morning, when Robert L.lv-' other workers with the purpose of ett stated to a representative of the j attaining the one end.

Mr. Livett stated that he agreed growing feeling among craft unions j wjth the statement of Alex Ross, and others against the resolution! ai.L.A., at the meeting of the Calgary posed organization, thaPhe was mere, ly doing so to keep Ms job. which the Red element carried at the recent Inter-provincial conference in Calgary, and Its reflex will certainly be found when the Calgary Trades and Labor Council again meet to dis. cuss Uie matter. "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, draw from its international affllaUons, ,X.~~.tfnm.i. tt ...rt..1A ,*rtfr,*i* thn fr^nl ffl-p X*X*U1 >U» Trades and Labor Council Friday night, that the One Big Union was an I.WAV. movement. ,(We fought the I.W.W.'s at our convention at Fernie in 1918 ,and a number of them are the leading spirits in the present move, ment. They have been against any form of labor organization for several years past, and have only 'switched over during the past twelve months or so. They have always contended that the labor movement was never of any advantage to the workers, and if disrupted a better form of organization would spring up, but they never considered the suffering that might be entailed in the meantime." No Good Purpose Continuing, the International board member said that no good purpose could ever be achieved by disruption. By working on the inside there was always a better chance of getting a clos. er' understanding with their fellow man. By, working on "the inside" he meant retaining thrir affiliations with titter nrnfl fti-ganizritions: meeting in While I was in Indianapolis with the other delegates from District IS, attending the policy convention, the Western Labor Conference was held, a new babe was born, which was named "The One Big Union," On our return we Jind that a referendum of the labor organizations is to be taken first to see if they are in favor of severing their present International aliil. 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 bor movement, should we adopt the I still be made a success. In any event new form of organization. Jt therefore j and in whatever form ii. may,come. seems to me that had wc gone ahead there is. every reason to believe, that and perfected some plan of organiza-1 to be successful, District 18 must pre- tion -before we severed our connec-i servo its identitiy. However should tion with th? present one. we should vour membership through the refer- have nassed through the transition j end um, decide to accept tfle new form 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, Division Four of the Railroad Organ. which It was striving, Furthermore, in the counting of the votes ih the referendum, the object of separating the east from the west was palpable, and would simply mean that In addition to severing tho aflllation with tlie Internationals there would bo a breach conventions, and if the policies were not, suitable, changing them along progressive and sane lines. "Unless such a course is adopted at the present juncture," said .Mr. Livett, "trades unions, as was itqinte.ii out. stage, from one form to the other,"with kaa chaos and disorganization' than we shall do. should our -membership decide to adopt the O.B.U. at present.

C, APRIL 4,1919 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. ♦ ♦ *P ♦ ♦ ♦ PPP*P*p*p**p*p<^<pp*<p*pp* MOUNTAIN PARK ♦ 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.

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.

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.

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.

In their hearts, however, they swore to return again witb aucb a force as would enable tbem to aweep tbe entire country for miles around until no vestige of human life remained. Tbey had lookwl In vain for the owner of tbe voice which had frightened off tba men wbo bad been detailed to put the torvh to (be but*, but nul even tto keenest eye among tbem bad been ablt to locate him.

"Let us see you 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-— In no way allayed, ami aa though to j baU though a volley bad immediately bolster their courage by warlike ac- tions they began to lire rapidly at tbe barred gates of the village, although •'Since Waziri is dead, leaving no son, there Is but one,, among us whom we know from experience Is tilted to make us a good king.

B. U. Bulletin Mo. 3 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. stance. Such a contention is ridiculous on the faco of it.

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! Central Executive Comlmtteo ' 210 Labor Temple, Vancouver, B.C. CENTRAL EXECUTIVE W. A. Pritchard, Vancouver, B.C.; R J. Johns, Winnipeg, Man.; J.

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 ♦ ♦<*♦♦♦♦♦♦♦-*»♦ ♦♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ MOUNTAIN PARK ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦♦♦♦<>■ P"PG-<P-PP^<P*P The annual meeting of the Mountain Park Cooperative Society took place in the Picture Hall Wednesday, ■March 26th, 191'J.

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.

For further particulars write, MEDICAL COMMITTEE, Local Union No. 3170, U. M. W. of A. POCAHONTAS, ALTA. 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. A Co.operator. f propose to play politics or flirt with the politicians, if we understand aright the expression we have heard of those who speaks for the movoment and the vigorous approval any body of workers always give to such a scnti. ment. In a letter In this issue President Christophers states his position. He is an industrial unionist who has no use for tha politicians. He is not altogether satisfied with tho mode of procedure which has been adopted and has, we thlnkv no great need for the fear he expresses that a mistake has beon mada Jn not perfecting "some plan of organization beforo we severed our connection with tho present one " Wo believe that President Christophers can trust to tho good aenso of tne rank and tile whon th« proper tlmo arrives to shape up the corr<»ist. organization and we aro further of thu op. inloti that a new constitution and u (Ixud programme at this stage of the game would not be In tho heat liiterosts of tbr* movement.

THE MOUNTAIN PARK CO-OPERA- TIVE SOCIETY, LIMITED 40.845.43 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, ball committee, Norman Watson, Jas. Price. 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. tend. N. Purcell, better known as Nett, among the miners, met his fato , at last.

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.

Tanwn. from tbt '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 bore tbe dead sentry into tbe midst ot the leafy maie above. Flrat bo stripped tbe body of cartridge belt aud such ornaments at be craved, wedging It Into a convenient crotch while bla nimble fingers ran orer it in aeaivb of tbe loot be could not plainly seo In tbe dartt. When bo bad finished be took tbo gun tbat bad belonged to tbe man and walked far 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 j wm Bu5uli.wlu*>^p4tk#-first4—— ——rtfoi 0. B. U. Bulletin Mo. 3 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.

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.

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 when a man is feeding his face, he is feeding his energy which he will ap. ply to his master's business just as soon as he gets through. (But that Is not the point; if they make that stick, how will the man stand if through some unforeseen circumstance he gets injured while he is eating his lunch? What about his compensation? It came to the notice of Gladstone Local Union, that the Editor of the Fernie Free Press, had issued a writ against che Editor of The District Ledger, and the following resolution was passed without a dissenting voice: "That on the day of the Trial, Gladstone Local Union, shall take a holiday and accompany the Editor of The Dis. trict Ledger to the Court."
