Lord; A most unfortunate accident happened in Fernie Annex Extension shortly after 6 o'clock Monday evening. William Cooper, whilst out shooting with a .22 rifle nt a gopher, missed the mark, the erring missile finding lodgment in the lower part of the body of Mrs. Richard Phillips, who had the misfortune to be in the direct line,of fire.' With a cry of anguish the stricken woman fell to the ground. Willing help was speedily rendered and a quick trip niade to the hospital, w;here it was discovered that the bullet, entering the body at the lower extremity, had encircled the waist and was extracted close to the surface by Drs. Bonnell and Moore, who are doing everything that surgical skill can accomplish under, the trying circumstances. ,- . —Iia test—reports—froni-tiwlrospitsr The matter 1 bring to the attention of the Board is a question of serious concern, I have been Informed, and 1 suppose other members of this Board have also been advised that there is grave danger of our nation becoming involved in the great European war, despite the fact that the President of the United States up To this time has endeavored to impress *>u^on the people of our country- to maintain a neutral attitude, and he has, so far as I know, sought to keep our nation at peace with all the nations of the earth. But I learn there is a jingo press at work and there is another element interested in the manufacture of -war material that is demanding that the United States participate in this world-wide conflict. Irrespective of what our personal feelings may be, there is one thing in which we, as representatives of labor, ought to be agreed upon, despite our pro-<Ally or pro-German feelings; that ls that we do not want this nation to go to War. we have a great country with a vast population and ev-ary honorable effort should be made to emphasize labor's protest and opposition to war, -. In view of the.jract that the United Mine Workers of America Is one of the foremost labor movements of the world, we can' well afford to. emphasize our position on this most vivid THE TRUTH ABOUT THE ISLAND STRIKE « Prominent Ottawa Journal Presents a Damning Retrospect—Exposes Way Austrians and German Strikebreakers Were Useful. are that the patient is mailing exce!- lent progress, considering the nature of the wound, and that unless unexpected complications,arise, an early recovery may be looked for. The late miners' strike on Vancouver Islainl has not received much attention at tho hands o". the Canadian Press. In most oi the few cases where comment has b-wn inula it has usually been viciously biassed against the miners. The Ottawa Evening Citizen is au exception to this almost general rule, ns will be seen from.the follow, ing, taken from its editorial columns of last Friday: "From the tragedy of scores of Ca- nudiuu coal mines being threatened by machine guns and hurled into gaol, on Vancouver Island two years ago, has evolved a new farce in which the British Columbia provincial authorities are still playing the leading part. The story of the strike, as it started around Nanaimo in September, 1912, is told in a sentence. Coal interests with a monopoly of the land refused to allow miners to establish a monopoly of their labor. "British Columbia nad allowed certain interests to acquire a monopoly of thc coal lands around Nanaimo. The monopoly interests were making the most of their handsome privilege. They had induced nearly 4,000 men to burrow down into the earth to dig coal for them; the men being rewarded with a small share of the wealth they produced, In -the form of wages. "Having learnt something from their fathers and brothers and comrades in the Old Country about getting a bigger share of .tie -wealth they produced, by eotiibiuins and organising and collec- tivp bargaining, thc miners proceeded U* Hnlf nn with thm ITriliai.-Alias-UlEorJj.

I am Informed that at the outbreak of hostilities in Europe. If the trade unionists, socialists and other similar movements had had ample time to conimunlcucato with one another and bring tbe Influence of.their organisations to beir on the situation, tho awful slaughter that haa taken place would not liave occurred. But evidently this was known to the rulers of theae warring nations, and the masses wero thrust Into the field as faat at thty could get them there on the false plea of-patriotism, etc. It Is a-tife to assume that the rank and fllo In the trenches do not know what tbey are fighting for. Pew statesmen In Europe have been able to convince tbe average man Just what the real cause cf this awful conflict was. ile thai as It may, tht thing that should concern America's workingmen is that we do not want ,wer, and we -»hiwid dc everything in our power to prevcit Ita occurrence. ers of America; and In consequence very soon found themselves locked out from the land they were wont to work under. The United Mine Workers represented a monopoly of labor; ahd in this free country; where land monopoly may bring a knighthood, labor monopoly is considered unpatriotic. So troubles began for the miners of Nanaimo, and many finished up by find* lug themselves In gaol. "The Dominion Minuter of Labor liad a report prepared on the situation by a royal commissioner. One interest- ins phase of thc situation the royal commissioner made clear as follows: "Coming to what I am satisfied lint alwny*. Ircm the commencement of the trouble, been the cru* clal point at issue, tho managers say tbeir companies are determined not to recoitnlxe or deal with the United Mine Workers' Union or its officials. Various reasons are given for this determination, among them that It U controlled by foreign socialists and agitators who caro nothing for the interests * ot the people of this country. "Thc patriotic press denounced the foreign agitators; conveniently forgot- tine that the miners themselves had taken the leading part ln linking up with tho United Mint Workers of Am- -erica.

F. W. Hinsdale, an insurance expert and auditor before Str William Meredith, the Ontario com- missioner, "the employers of the State paid approximately $600,000 in premiums to the liability companies, of wliich $500,000 was absolutely wasted as between the employer and the workmen." "Under the present law," continued Mr. Hinsdale, "we cannot spend a single dollar except in payments to injured workmen*or their dependents." Sub. Insurance Companies Answered. Briefly, and yet conclusively, the foregoing paragraph which shows that on'y one-s;\th of :he nioi»-\v .paid by employers ever-reached the injured workmen, explains the fulminatlons of Mr. A. S. Matthews against tho new principle, in Canada, of State, administered workmen's compensation. While the "Sun," a local Liberal paper, in reporting his address before the Builders' Exchange, an organization ■•>f building contractors without contracts, leads its readers to beiievo that the insurance companies are opposing only thc present draft act under consideration, the record of the various invoa- Mgatlons show that the insurance companies fight the state administration regardless of the political complexion of the Government, and in whatever country tho question arises.

ThlB order was subsequently confirmed by Colonel Ogilvie, D. O.

After the transfer had been made Colonel Mackay wired to -Major General Otter at Ottawa, and Colonel Ogilvie at Victoria, confirming: the transaction and also requested permission to investigate oach case individually, and to be authorized to grant the conditional'release If in his judgment it was deemed advisable.

It is to he hoped that this event may furnish such an impetus to the movement tlmt it. may encourage the. participants to enter into ciiinpetitions with tlieir fellow workers ia the sister province of Alberta, thus stimulating a friendly rivalry in.work which must appeal to all huiimni- t a Hans.'' , ■■•''■'■■■ Whilst the hazardous occupation of the "miner unfortunately furnishes him with too many practical illustrations of the need of knowledge whereby suffering may be decreased, a'bility to render First Aid should be -acquired 'by every citizen, as one can n-evei; tell when it may be called into requisition- One feature of this contest worthy of special comment is the zeal displayed by the youthful participants whose superabundance of animal energy can find no better avenue of escape than that of assisting by their efforts in lessening the sum total of human pain. .y- Fire drills have been introduced in every school throughout the Dominion as a precautionary measure with beneficial results, and we deem it would also be an excellent plan for the educational authorities to add First Aid work as part of the education to be imparted to those who have reached the higher grades ./This practical application would an exceedingly lengthy list, b^t iti passing will mention the German armament conspiracy, the French army scandals, the Marconi affair, and coming closer home we have nauseating details of the slimy trail extending from New York to San Francisco in the V* S., whilst in the Dominion we have ' tinot Scandals," 'Drug,Deals," public building graft, etc.. ad nauseam. "^ Crook." "dead-beat," "grafter," although omitted from the dictionaries, have become so commonplace that even the ordinary school, boys know tlieir meaning. The only useful purpose that we can see these exposures serve is this: Among those who hear of, read or have been informed of the constantly recurring cases with their similarity* of characteristics even though the details may differ the thought may be forced into their minds—These scandals, like thistles, often cut down cf>P up so repeatedly the ordinary measures adopted for their cure have proved failures, therefore something more drastic is needed. When this stage of mentality is reached there is some hope oO effort being pnt forth that will not bc satisfied with surfaco -skimming reform tactics, AVe say to the reformer: "Kc<?p on shouting from the house-tops," because some your audience may hear you and not be content with .parrot-like reproductions of the same theory regarding the i-iivo {?)— i.t?., swapping politic&\ horses, but reach a conclusion that so many schemes have been advocated to ■mend the system, only to demonstrate, their inefficaey, that the only goal we will henceforth work for is—To end it! lilalenally "aiT iirtheTheoretical study of .physio- logy and anatomy, and a subject, which otherwise is regarded as ''dry as dust," made of absorbing iuterest. YOU CAN'T PLANT THISTLES AND EXPECT PIGS TO GROW All who attended the lecture delivered last Friday night iu the Orpheum by the Rev. A. E. Cooke were furnished a wealth of detail regarding the misdeeds of those high iu provincial affairs. The case against the Conservative party was laid with such consummate care that the units of the opposite faction can-chuckle with delight in anticipation of the beautiful bouquets they will be able to hand out from the plntform when noxt the present legislative representatives come before the elector- jite to give an necount of their stewardship. t'limpnigii duels between members of the rival liolitical tactions as ti means of amusement will, comparatively speaking have bear-bait ing relegated 1o the catf-gory uf nursery games.

GERMAN MINERS STRIKE , "Amsterdam, Saturday.—According to the 'Vorwaerts' a strike has broken out among the miners in the Neurode district of Lower Silesia. Negotiations between the owners,' representatives of the Miners' Federation, and Government officials have begun- The situation is serious, as the number of strikers is hourly increasing. The reason of the strike is a dispute as regards wages.—Reuter. The above cutting is from "The People" of London. June 13th. The source of the dispatch "Reuters" is generally regarded as worthy of consideration in all telegraphic matters where accuracy is involved. With almost unbroken repetition the English- speaking press have informed 'ts readers "a'bout the oneness of the different elenieuts in Germany. Here, however, is a discordant note given forth of no,mean proportion when it is taken into considera- lioii—tlitit .the district mpntimiid not ruilv furnishes (Continued from Page One) secure releases. In a conversation with an acquaintance occupying a position with a local insurance agency, the question of the adjustment of claims arose, particularly regarding personal injury cases and in criticizing the policy of the western casualty companies, in fighting claims in the courts, he made the following amazing statement: "The policy of the company with which I was connected in the east was to have five adjusters to whom the companyi. presented fully equipped travelling bags and on receipt of information that an accident had occurred, they went by the quickest means to the injured ones, even ifthey were (lying, and settled the cleims and obtained releases." This policy has been carried to such a length that the courts have, of late years been setting aside releases obtained under such conditions and awarding damages in accordance with the merits, merely deducting the amount paid for the release by tlie insurance company. - On the Horns of a Dilemma If the worker attempts to settle direct -with tho Insurance company -he loses heavily; if he takes his case to a lawyer, and is without funds, he Is required to agree to allow the lawyer from 25 to 50 per cent of the amount recovered for his services. In either case he Is the victim of parasites who can be easily and profitably eliminated by the adoption of the principle of state control of the compensation act. The employer will be better satisfied If he is assured that his payments are going to the Injured workers: the workers will be In receipt of tlieir allowance and relieved of the present insecurity and (uncertainty, which frequently requires them to parade their deformities before the citizens ln order that they may eke out an existence through inability to collect or until the courts reach their case on the calendar. Lawyers and Insurance companies are as inseparable -as the Siamese twins and about as useless. Why, as Sir William Meredith says, "both cutting their tails an Inch at a time. Why not start at the head and cut it off at one*?" Classified Ads.-Gent a Word - RIDERS WANTED as agents for our high grade bicycles.

ORPHEUM THEATRE 20 per cent of the coal produced in Germany, but is likewise exceedingly rich in other ores, such as lead, zinc, iron, etc., the workers in which metals nre closely affiliated with the c<>al miners. In addition to its mineral production, Silesia is a very important manufacturing regiou, the chief items of whi$li are cotton, linen, woolen and cloth goods. The population of the province is about five millions, of which 20 per cent are Poles, who because of 'the treatment accorded to them in the past, especially the restrictions regarding the employment of their mother tongue, are by no means favorably disposed to their rulers- These facts, coupled with disnstrous effect tlie blockade has had upon inanufacuring because the raw material so extensively used in normal times being shut off, makes the quoted item, although brief, of more than ordinary significance.

John'p Ambulance Association f was held on Sunday morning last for 1 the purpose of reorganizing. The class is desirous of it .'being generally known that it will function for the benefit of the town and not for the benefit of the Bellevue Mine, nor its officials, as was apparently understood last session by a nuni&er of people. The sum of $57 carried over from last year's class will be invested in equipment such as stretchers, splints, bandages and books to be used for future classes and will be the property of the town. Mr. D. Davidson was elected chairman and Mr. P. Padgett secretary. Owing to the holiday season and' the time esti- I mated it will take to get the necessary I equipment. The first lecture will not be held before the second Sunday in August in the public school. Dr. McKenzie will be the lecturer. Mrs. Perry, of Foremost, is the gueBt of her sister, Mrs. A. May, for a few weelts. Jack Longworth, of the 13th M. R, was a visitor this week-end. The financial statement of the Methodist1 Church for (the year ending May 22nd, 1915, shows a deficit or $168.00, The members of the official board of the church wish to express their appreciation of the continued support of the church on the part of so many friends. Mayor an-d Mrs. Burnett are vlsitlug their son, T. M. Burnett of this town, this week. The children of our Xormal schools are commencing their summer holidays, which will extend over a period of ten weeks. Jack Fraser, our genial school janitor Intends taking a fishing trip. The Rev. F. T. Cooke preached from the text "Have faith in God," to an appreciative congregation on Sunday last. The display of the necessary munitions of warfare In the window of T. M. Burnett's store bas created more than a passing Interest, and those who took part In the window dressing are to be complimented on the success of their efforts. A contemporary announces the engagement of iMlss Norah, the only daughter of 'Mr. and Mrs. Robert Mitchell, of the Ashdown Ranch, Bellevue, to Lieut. Sharpe of the 13th M. R. The regular meeting of Local 431 will take place as usual on Sunday next. The police have been kept busy during the past week issuing fishing licences.

Needless to say everybody at the smoker had a swell time. Steve Bassetta acted as chairman and musician, and a good roll of artistes of nil nationalities supplied the entertainment. John Loughran and Wm Grah&m were visiting relatives in Coalhurst or. Monday and Tuesday of this week. Jack Clay-don has bpigat a faiui :ind is getting ready'to move from camp in the near future. Friday, June ISth was the f.nnual meeting for the election of officers of Local 118'J, and below is the list of officers elected: Steve Bassette, President; Charlie Phillips, Vice-President; Frank Barringham, Secretary-Tv<3a«,ur- er; Robert Conners, Recording Secretary; Steve Busilas, Janitor.

Carter, were present at the meeting and gave the boys a very good talk on happenings in the District and the organization In gen- oraal. Bro. A. J. Carter fulfilled his duties as travelling auditor before leaving on Saturday for Lethbridge. After the regular order of business on Friday night nominations for checkweighman were called for. Bro. Steve Bassette and Bro. F. Barringham were nominated. After some consideration Bro. Bassette expressed a desire to decline and Bro. -Barringham will, again act in the weigh-bouse on the tipple on behalf of the miners. The stork paid a visit to Coalhurst, June 14th, and as a result the home of Louis Fraser is blest with q. baby girl. An Ice cream and strawberry picnic was held In the.grounds of the Presbyterian Church on Wednesday under the auspices of the Ladies' Aid. A rather serious accident occurred at this mine on the morning of the 21st when the first cage of men lowered were allowed to hit too hard on the bottom. -There were thirteen men in the cage, and Hugh Evans, fire boss, was the most badly hurt, and is at present in the Diamond City Hospital suffering with a dislocated knee and gen-, eral shock. The other men were only slightly injured, and according to the doctor's reports will be in a position to return to work in a few days. The 21st was not what may be termed as a working day, and the men referred to were firebosses and pumpmen, with a few machine men, going down to cut places. * ,%** PAGE THEBE THE ECONOMIC UTILIZATION OF GOAL By Alexander Sharp, All the great industrial centers of the world must have an abundance of cheap fuel, and power. I have known the City of Vancouver for these last 25 years, and what has always impressed me about it is, it will never ue the manufacturing, industrial center .it could be, until it has cheaper fuel and power, in unlimited quantities, than it now has, at its command. In various parts of the United States of America, England and Germany, producer gas is now being made, from coal and all by-products extracted from the coal, on new methods that have been discovered of recent years. I have not space to go Into the merits of these plants; suffice It to say, that the success has been such as to re- voluntlonize the business activity of many a district. Plants are erected at coal mines that have coal containing a required amount of gas, nitrogen and tar qualities. Tbe gas is piped to the populated centers, for fuel, where lt is used in the manufacturing of iron and steel, and other industrial concerns. lA coal with about 28 per cent volatile matter yields at least 10,000 cubic feet of gas per ton of coal. One ton of such coal will furnish fully 100,000 cubic feet of producer gas, having a calorific power of about 200 heat units per cubic foot. A city like Vancouver and district would require a gas with a calorific value of 500 British thermal units per fool. The gas can be purified at the plant to suit the needs of the community. The nearest inland coal mines to the city of Vancouver are at -Coalmont, Princeton and Xicola Valley, each about 120 miles distant, or thereby. These coal mines have a suitable coal for a gas producer and by-product plant—28 percent, volatile matter, and fully 1 per cent nitrogen contents. .Tn 1 GREAT BLOOD Directory of Fraternal Societies "Fruit-a-tives" Cleans, Purifies, Enriches Fruit juice is Nature's own remedy.

The branch line pipes to side line towns would be ,9 In to 6 Inch diameter, with 30 pounds pressure, while the line to the consumer would be, according to requirements, pressure 4% to 5 mercury test, which is equal to 9 to 10 steam. oz. tion of the gas producer system, which purposes.

It is being used in greater quantities each year, for 'the purposes mentioned, all over the world. IMany of the iron and steel works in 'England, Germany and .Nova Scotia use the gas from their coke ^ves%^^r^Mo^r^TOiriHa~sleerTOF naces, to great advantage. The calorific value of gasused at steel works for certain purposes Is about 500 British thermal units per cu; foot. There seems to be no auestion but that the greatest economy possible in steel works practice Is through the general adoption of gas fuel. A By-product Plant requires to be erected In connection with a gas producer, to make it a profitable Industry, for the recovery of ammonia, tar, benzol and other minor and the manufacture of sulphate of products. The sulphate of ammonia obtained 'from coal is generally in proportion to tho nitrogen contents. Middlesboro' (Joinery, of the Nicola Valley Coal and Coke Company, Is tho only mine concerning which a i,Gvu'iimerit aualysl-n cf the nitrogen Is pi von namely: .Vo. I Mine, Nitrogen, Ml p*i cent; No. 2 .Mine, Nitrogen, 2.0 per cent. No. 1 Nsiul :* iMlne, mixture, nitrogen 1.4 per cent. It is probablo that the coals of Coalmont and Princeton contain about an equal amount of nitrogen. In that case the coals from these mines contain a valuable quantity of by-products, To show tho value of nitrogen contents In coal it may be stated that j some English companies operate coal mines In Natal, South Africa, and else-1 where for the by-products extraction i only, where the coal containa 2 per cent nitrogen. The Natal Ammonium Co., Ltd.. estimate* to collect i»,3fl"i lou* ot tfulphatc of ammonia per annum, from 150 tons of coal, containing 2 ;i. ;. nitrogen, :*f ;i value of fio ftto.ou to $70.00 per ton.

He alleged that he would be unable to work for six months, thnt hia working -capacity had been reduced 15 per cent, on account of the accident, and that ho was earning $702 por yeur. The defendant company made answer that the plaintiff was an alien, a subject of Austria-Hungary) which country is at- present at war with Canada; that he was an enemy and not entitled to sue for hi* rights bofore Canadian courts. The point was sustained by Mr. Justice Hruneau, who held that "an alien enemy cannot maintain any action tn our courts, even In a cane whero Uie right originated before the commencement of hostilities, but Mutt this right Is not destroyed; tt la only suspended during tlie war." The iiclujii wu* in connetnieiK-e dismissed until the war Is over. I'pon :in appeal before the Court of King's Itench, the decision of the trial Justice was reversed.

Itefcre me as I write is a newspaper cutting headed, "Higher coal prlcos. Effect of miners' war bonus." the article opens with a coal price quotation, and then noon on to give the view of a prominent London merchant that "tho war bonus it a fraud on tha public," an-1 that it was responsible for much of the iin tease tn price Thit sound* nil right. It i* a simple off-band way of dismissing criticism. It turn* the attention of the public away from the ownera and merchants; but if we only road the ttatement ot Mr. Runciman in tbe Common* tbe other day to th* effect tbat tbo Government were having great difficulty In limiting some moasure tbe price of coal, we aball sen that there Is another aide to tbe shield. Now, let me Just ran over briefly the course of events. When war we* declared tbere waa great unessineaa In business circles.

Now the .maximum price upon which tbe miner* could get the sixty por cent. w*» reached on Murch 31,1813, slxtoon months beforo war broke out. The'contract price for targe coal was then 10s.
