Printed By Union Labor
Investigation Refused; District
18 Officers and Policy Committee Advise Rejection Of
Order 124 and Any Reduction
Referendum to be Taken at Once—Central Committee
of One Big Union, The B. C. Federation of Labor
and The Alberta Federation Asked To Co-Operate.
To Officers and Members of all Local
Unions   Comprising - District   18,
U. M...W. of A.
Greeting:—
Order No. 124 which was issued by
thfc Director of i*Coal Operations, a
copy of which has heretofore been
sent to you, carries with it a reduction
in the daily earnings of the men formerly employed ten and eleven hours
per day.
We, your Policy Committee, believe that it is not .consistent with the
present trend of the labor outlook to
accept a reduction in wages because
of a reduction in hours of labor. We
belteve that a reduction in the wages
of the men will be a reduction in the
standard of living of the men affected,
#nd will have an ultimate effect on
tho membership of the district as a
whole.
After taking this view of the mat.
ter we asked'the Director of Coal
Operations to hold an investigation in.
to the condition of work and the rates
of wages of the men affected as we had
evidence to submit to him, that could
not possibly bo submitted previous to
the eight hour law going into effect in
British Columbia. The Director
shelved this application for an invest!,
gation by referring the dispute to the
Minister of Labor, who absolutely re.
fused to hold an Investigation into the
points in dispute, and insisted that the
order be accepted as issued.
This, In the opinion of your Policy
Committee, would be compulsory arbitration which in their opinion would
be against thn hont int(*rn*ta-r**-)nhQr-
as a whole to accept.
We therefore believe that the whole
issue should be put to a referendum
vote of the membership to see if they
are In favor of the rejection of the Order as it at present stands. If the or.
der ls rejected by the membership lt
will of course mean a general strike,

providing that the department of
Labor does not in tl.v meantime see
fit to change its position in the mat.
ter.
As we cannot at present see any fin.
ancial assistance forthcoming to the
district in event of a general strike,
we believe that in the event of a
general strike being declared all men
working in and around the mines
should cease work. This, of courso,
would include the following classes of
labor: Engineers, firemen, pumpmen,
fanmen and stablemen.
We are also asking the active as.
sistance of the Federation of Labor
bodies in both Alberta and British
Columbia as well as the Central Com.
mittee of the O. IB. U. This we be.
lieve necessary to win as quickly and
as decisively as possible.
Your Policy Committee are unani.
mous in asking the membership to re.
ject the order, and request that the
result of ballot be wired to the district
office not later than the, 19th of May.
We would also ask that the vote be
taken immediately on receipt ot the
ballots from the District Ledger offlco.
The result of the ballot will be com.
municated to you and the district officers will notify every local of the date
of cessation of work should the order
be rejected by the membership.
IWe would urgently ask all locals to
continue work until informed by the
district officers the dato of stoppage
of work. /
(Signed)

ONE BIGUNION
The ONE BIG UNION continues to
be the nightmare of "the other fellow." It Is the product of "halrbrained
agitators," has "no hopo of buccoss,"
and is said to bo "already showing
signs of failure." Nevertheless the
ballots keep piling in and up, not only
from District 18 but from the east and
the vest in such volume that lt Ib now
safe tosay that the ONE BIO UNION
has paaaed from being an idea Into
being a fact the "child" of the
Western Interprovinclal conference is
developing into a vigorous youth and
when it reaches its full stature its
very shadow will send chills of fear
atrlckllng along the spinal columns
of all those who would delay it* pro.
gress.
From the coast we hear splendid ro.
ports and details will soon be ready
for publication. Headquarters ls com.
plaining over the fact that a numbor
of locals are sending in packages of
ballots without marking plainly on
tho ballot the namo and addrous of the
sender. They ask: "Be careful,
please."
Up to date The Diitrict Ledger has
received the following returns from
various locals In District 18. Rosedale and CardHt are to be given n place
on the Honor Roll:
Fernie—*»tt lor, 23 against.
Michel—322 for, 12 against.

Returned Soldiers at
Kimberley
In the (.Michel news last week there
was a paragraph relating to a returned
soldier having been sent to Kimberley
to obtain work under the expectation,
it _was said, of getting ?4.75 T>er day
and finding that after being shifted
fronj one boss to another he could
°u { £et ?3-75 per day. It was stated
tbat the returned man got the inform-
a ion from .Mr. Claridge, of the Sol
diers' Civil Re.Establishment Board
that he could get the $4.75 and "would
not Have to pack any blankets around
with him at that."
On investigation The District Ledger
is satisfied that .Mr. Claridge did not
misrepresent the position. The letter
given him by the company plainly
stated 14.25 per day and it would have
been absurd for Mr. Claridge to have
given the higher figure, knowing that
it would only lead to trouble. The
:Michel man evidently misunderstood
the wage quoted and further there was
also a 25c. per day reduction put on
by the management at short notice
from their head offices in the east.
In justice to Mr. Claridge and sup.
ported by the assurances of Secretary
Martin, of Gladstone Local and Albert
Gill, of Kimberley,. who was a delegate to the O. B. U. convention at
Calgary and a hearty supporter of the
ONE BIG UNION, The District Ledger
can state that Ulr. Claridge made a per.
sonal visit to the camp at Kimberley
to assure himself that returned men
were not to be asked to do anything
which savored of strike-breaking or
to accept "scab wages." It is not liis
fault if the wages offered are below
the living rate and, as far as returned
soldiers are concerned, Mr. Gill (him.
self a veteran of the firing line) says:
"Our men get as good treatment at
Kimberley as at any other camp."

operations of "order.in-couucil" apart
from those in labor cases:

THE DISTRICT LEDGER, FERNic, a, «., wlAY 9th, 1919
DAVE REES' RELATION TO
RANK AND FILE OF DISTRICT 18
Last week we published a very
interesting letter from Dave Rees, in.
ternational organizer of the United
Mine Workers of America. The fact
that Mi1. Rees has been very active
in the labor movement ever since he
came from Wales to Canada a dozen
years or so ago, and that during that
time he has held prominent positions
and ono one occasion was sent as a
labor representative across the Atlantic, adds to the,importance and interest of !Mr. Rees' letter. At the pre.
sent time he is a vice.president of the
Trades and Labor Congress of Can.
ada.
iMr. Rees having attained a greater
degree of prominence and publicity
than any other miner in District IS
it must be expected that he will receive more praise on one hand and
more criticism on the other than if he
were but an ordinary member of the
rank and file. In the labor movement
criticism is to be looked for and often
times it comes in language which is a
bit ragged and raw on the edges. Mr.
Rees is just a trifle, too sensitive to
criticism and is apt to see inucndos
where Inuendos do not exist, That will
be seen by reading his letter. The District Ledger has not expressed any
thought of baseness in Mr. Rees' ac.
tions. We have no reason to express
any. If we thought he was crooked
we would say so with an emphasis he
would not be able to mistake.
The District Ledger has a few hun.
dred readers among the miners in
Nova Scotia and we want all of them
to go and hear 'Mr, Rees when the ocl
casion offers. We ask them, however,
to remember this, that although Mr.
Rees has been for years a member of
the miners' local in Fernie the views
he expresses are contrary to the views
of ninety-six per cent, of the membership of the local. Tliey mmst also re.
member that although Mr. Rees polled
2085 votes when he ran for president
of this district in January last it is
doubtful if he would poll more than
two hundred votes in the entire dis.
trict today. If the Nova Scotia min.
ers will ask Mr. Rees if this is not so
he will be honest enough to tell them
that it is.
Now what is the reason for this
change? There must be some reason.
It is this: The membership of District
18 are heartily sick and tired of the
International machine at Indianapolis,
while Mr. Rees believes tbey should
hold to that machine and endeavor to
get it to couple its forces with other
international machines in what he
calls "United Big Organizations." It
is merely a matter of opinion and Mr.
Rees' opinion is different from that
of the vast majority of the coal miners
- of Alberta and South Eastern British
charitable public.
There is also the satisfaction of
knowing that if they die aud their as.
sessments have been kept paid up they
can have a much neater.looking funeral than is supposed to be necessary
for a coal digger.-
At times some of our printers become p'eeved over the fact that the
coal miners can often make forty, flrty
and even sixty dollars a week," while
with the printers' intelligence and
more perfect organization they think
they are "'going some" when they get
their weekly scale above thirty bones
a week. And, in fact, there are scores
of unions in connection with the typos'
international where the scale has Iin.
gered and still lingers around the
twenty.dollar mark.
Had it not beon for the eye trouble
and the weakened chests of many of
our printers occasioned by the nature
of their employment there would have
been an even larger percentage of the
membership in service overseas. The
typos bave reason to boast of the large
number they did send. There was a
fly in the1 ointment, however, when
Canada entered the war and Canadian
printers asked the international to
keep up their per capita tax while they
were on active service. The international (on the executive of which Ca.
nadians have not been able to get. representation) would not grant such a
favor. When Uncle Sam Anally got
Jito the fight the policy was changed.
There is another feature towards
which Andy directs Chris' attention
and that Is the old age pension that
comes to the printers. There was a
time when the country was filled with
old men who had "set. type" since boy.
hood days nnd who had been replaced
by the swiftness of the linos. These
old men were lean and hungry looking
and their apparel threadbare. A
merciful Providence has carried off
those estimable old timers to the
happy hereafter to which every print,
er is surely entitled. Other printers
are growing old now but , they have
little fear for the future for they either
have stocked up heavily on Victory
Bonds or are so secure with the International that they know their last
days will be free from the worries that
will come to the improvident miners.
NThere is much more that we might
say in rebuke of President Christo.
phers' attack but for once we will be,
merciful.
CAN WE EXPECT ANYTHING FROM
THE ROYAL COMMISSION ON
INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS
Heartrending Conditions In
Homes of Scottish
Miners
Columbia, we are certain, anTwe are
told it Is also vastly different from the
opinion of the majority of the miners
on the coast with whom he has been
working for over a year past.
Now in making these statements we
tfre sure that Mr. Rees will not see in
them any inuendos. He is standing
alone practically as far as District 18
Is concerned. From what we know of
Dave Rees we are sure he would not
associate with tho few who nre voting
against the ONE BIG UNION—men
who toady to bosses and who are
ever ready to betray their fellows. He
knows that all tho tried and true union
men of tho district are in favor of
withdrawing from the International
nnd joining the ONE BIG UNION and
knowing that he will Impress upon the
miners of Nova Scotia in anything he
nays in regard to tho ONR BIG UNION
that he Is speaking in his capacity as
organizer for tho International and not
as n working miner from the Crow's
Nest Pass.
PRESIDENT CHRI8TOPHERS AND
THE TYPOGRAPHICAL UNION
, (By Taps)
< Another commission has come and
after going through a farce of investigating the labor conditions they
have drifted east, and now we are
wondering what will come out of
tbeir investigation.
Nothing, simply camouflage, is the
general concensus of opinion regard.
Ing the latest "Royal Commission"
fathered by Tom Moore and Co. of
Ottawa. Knowing as they do that tne
present unrest in the labor World is
bound sooner or later to break
through the crust by which it is at
TTe&^ir^o^.redr1^
Last week we published from the
Calgary Herald a story In which President Christophers was quoted as
saying somo very harsh things about
tho typos. Wo had our typewriter
limbered up to get Into action against
our president but only hnd a fow
line* rolled oft when along camo a
reply from Andy Davison which we
have dipped from Thu Culgary Herald
and publish thin weok. We thought
that letter of Andy'* wn* enough to
hold "Chris" for ono week m we deferred our broadside.
President Christophers !» alleged
to havo nab! that when 11 "came to
talk unionism" the typo* "had as a
body nn much l«udli«tuiu ,1.* tuulil U
arrowed into the leu of 11 mosquito."
A* a figure of speech that certainly
wa* a corker.
In tho miners' organ inat ion In Dl*.
trict 18 It Is not lone majoste to
"roaat" the president. We shudder to
think what might befall the printers
who would attack the snemd heads of
their organisation.
There I* a wholo lot more inlclllg.
etm In lba typo* organization* tban
can po*H«lbI> he Injected Into the eav.
Ity allotod to It by President Christopher* hut the nature of Andy'* atti.ek
on th'« One BiR   Vnl-nn   because    of
"Chris'" word* would not neem    to ......     „.i..«u it..*
indicate that hi* fAndy'*) contribution j over the Industries_ which Ibe)
that these commissions will do somo
thing toward smoothing things over
for u while. Did men ever commit
themselves to a greater blunder? did
any responsible body ever try harder
to bury the real issue?
No one among us will bolieve that
men with the experience of Senator
Robertson, Tom 'Mooro, or any of their
colleagues are in any way Ignorant of
the real causes of the existing unrest,
and none is so foolish as to think that
they do not know tho cure.
It will be conceded by those who
have at all studied the question that
the man who invests his life and
labor |n the industrial field invests far
more than the man who simply Invests
his so-called capital; that being so,
who should exercise the greatest
amount of control? Wo would nntur.
ally say the man or men who have
made tho greatest Investment, nnd
that being granted, the persons who
havo invested their lives and labor,
should, from a purely business stand,
point control the industry which Iiub
been built up by their labor, and in
lots of cases, paid for by the sacrlttce
of their lives.
But there Is llttlo hope from tho
present "Royal Commission on Industrial Relatione" that the worker will
be given even a voice In the control
of the Industrie* In which ho l* em.
ployed or in which he hn* Invested hi*
labor, nnd dally plays n game ot
ehanco with his life.
There Is overy reason to boliovo
that tho phop steward system—which
the British Government, and old line
labor loaders of Great Britain did their
best to suppress, will come Into being
In thin country at no distant dato, nnd
If this I* so, and tho same offices are
islt'1" by them here a* in «omo place*
In Great Britain, then on© thing will
pit*-. \nin the hnnd« of the worKers,
that in the hiring and discharging ot
the workmen. Again under tho fton,
key uvwird the workers tire given 0
measure of control In the actual conduct of the Industries. If these thing*
nre recommended, and brought about
through the effort* of tho comml«»lon,
It will put u» on onr way toward the
eventual control of tho lndu»trlal situ-
aMon and production for une instead
of for profit.
We ne*k ourselves again, do we ex.
pect tho present commission to re.
eommend to the Department of I.nhor,
that the worker* ho given * voice 111
the mnnogeiwont, or partial   control
are
(Concluded from last wook)
"The Reduced Working Days
There is a great scarcity of coal,
and a necessity to keep up production
to the highest point in order that by
exporting coal we can get food and raw
material back. Will you tell me
whether before the Lanarkshire Coun..
ty Union decided three weeks ago to
reduce the working days from eleven
in a fortnight to five per week you gave
consideration to the community?—I
think some of the colliery managements contend that as .much coal could
bo got in the five days as in the six.
Mr. Forgie-^Will you take it from
me that that is not so, and that there
was a large additional output from
working eleven days a fortnight.
Witness—If a man works under,
ground for five days a week he has
done his duty to the State.
Do you think they had full regard to
the national need?—If there is a
shortage of coal you might as well say
the Lanarkshire miner should work
seven days to make up the shortage.
Don't you think in a time of excep.
tional need it is an unpatriotic thing
to do?—I say the Lanarkshire miner is
not unpatriotic.
■Mr. Forgie-—I agree he is not unpatriotic. <
'Mr. Forgie—I agree he is not unpat.
riotic.
The Witness—People who complain
about not gettiaig coal arid the miner
not working more should get their own
coal. The men are not unpatriotic.
They gave 14,000 at a "bob" a day to
fight the Germans.
Mr. Forgie—I do not see why, more
than any. other miner in the country,
the Lanarkshire miner should work
five days a week?—I don't see why he
should do more.
Sunday Working
IMr, Smillie—Have not the miners of
Lanarkshire complained to the coal,
masters on several occasions in the
last two years about some pits working
on Sunday?—Yes, I have heard the
coal going over the screens when tho
church bells were going.
When the employer was at church,
the coal miner was getting coal?—He
may have been at church. (Laughter).
Answering other questions of Mr.
Smillie, the witness said that the Hamilton people had for some time heen
trying to get some pleasure land nd.
jacent belonging to the Duke of Ham.
ilton in order to build houses in a
favourable situation. The Duke would
not give tho land under $500 per
acre. "I live in one of twelve houses,"
added witness. "They were build thirteen years ago. Some are practically
uninhabitable now because of the coal
being taken underground."
Mr. Smillle—Under the lease, when a
of
land off tho Duke of Hamllton~an<r
pays him an annual rent, ho claims tho
right to tako tho coal out and pull tlie
house down without any corapensa.
tion?—YeR.
You consider that Intolerable?—U is
very bad.
You think people are going to allow
tV*at?r~I hope not. ■<>. ■
Mr, Smlllie corrected a statement ho
mado on Friday when ho said that tho
children's death.rate In Rhondda was
20 per cent. Tho Clerk to the Rural
Council had written him saying that
It was 11 or 12 per cont. Ho was glad
to make the correction. . ■   "
Conditions In Cralpneuk
Sir Leo Chlom Money asked whether, in the Cralgnouk district there was
not enough profit made before the war
from the colllerloB to provide hotter
houses. *
The witness replied in the afflrma.
Vive, and added that some of the
houses in that district had been sold
three or four times over in the course
of a series of. years. He did not know
what the dividends of the United Col.
lieries had been, and he did not know
whether another colliery in the locality had paid S*per cent, for a number
of years. He should not be surprised
if James Niramo & Co. paid between
1898 and 1910 an average of 7 per
cent.   .
1D0 you think that was enough to
have provided houses suitable for min.
ers to live in?—Yes, and I think it is
one of the best investments that an
employer can make. If they wanted
to get the best out of the man they
should give him a decent standard of
living, the same as they give a horse.
Housing of Munition Workers
Are you aware that all over the
country- there are many colliery com.
ponies which yield this high rate of
dividend, and yet there ts np system
by which those profits can be devoted
to the social conditions of the miner?
And do' you not think that nationalization should be adopted on tho ground,
amongst; other things, that profits
should be so devoted?—Yes;, and I
know that at Gretna and other places
where national work was carried on
proper provision was made for the
living of the workers.
Then in connection with national
work during the war, in spite of the
great hurry in which these things had
to be done, and In spite of the scarcity
of raw material, proper provision was
made for the employees. Was that the
universal rule?—Yes, I suppose so. I
know of two districts in which that
was done where munitions were being
made.
It was suggested by -Mr. Forgie that
tho miners of Lanarkshire were un.
patriotic because they would not work
more than five days a week?—Yes, it-
was.
Do you not think that the average
middle.class person is very lucky to
have a body of men who devote their
lives to working five days a weok in
a coal mine for him?—Yes; and if he
complains about another man's hours
of working he should dig his own
coal.
Mr. Sidney Wehb-^t has been suggested that in part the bad housing
of the mining districts is accounted
for by the fact that the mines are)
short lived. Do you think that is any
excuse for improper housing?
The Witness—I do not think it is any
excuse, and I do not think it is true.
If you tako many of the districts ot
Lanarkshire you will find that houses
condemned In 1842 are still occupied
and there have been in them two or
three different sets ot inhabitants. ■
"Hcrlel TopWeF-umr-Cattle"^—
Wo can understand the reluctance of
the owners to put up expansive bouses,
but I do ask how do you suggest, under
the circumstances, that the people
ought to live?—If coal has got to be
extracted for tho benefit of tho State,
or the coalownor wants to get it for
tho benefit of himself, there should be
proper houses for tho coal.getters, who
should not be herded together liko
cattle.
And when tho State does things tor
Itself, as during tho war, your exper.
lenco Is that the houses put up tor the
workers wero not Inferior to what they
ought to be? Thoy wore very much
In advance of the accommodation of
anything I know of.
Do you agree with the suggestion
that tho worker must live under Inferior conditions because the Industry in
whioh he is employed is short-lived?—
I do not think so.
What you claim is that the miners
are entitled to have just as good
houses to live in even if a mine is a
short.Iived mine—es.
Surface Workers' Terms
'Mr. Robert Shirkie, secretary of tho
National Federation of Colliery Engine-
men and Boilermen, with a member,
ship of 45,000 to 50,000 presented a
statement on behalf of that class of
worker. He said his Federation did
not agree that the fact that in some
districts of the country there" * were
richer coalfields than in others should
prevent workers from being paid a
uniform minimum Avajge. He asked for
therifollowing minimum: For winding
enginemen, 10s.' per shift; other grades
of enginemen, 9s. per shift; charge
boilermen, 6s. 6d. per shift; boilermen,
Ss per shift. He also asked for a
six.hour shift instead of an eight-hour
Shift, and that all continuous shift
enginemen, boilermen, and boiler fire,
men should have at least seven clear
days' holiday in each year; with full
payment for same,
In reply to Mr. Evan Williams, wit.
ness said that if 30 per cent, was added
to the miners' wages, the workers Ke
represented would also want 30 per
cent.

"Dead!" he repeated, ana tnen no
laughed.   "Tou are not, Jane, and if
you will return to the city of Opar and
ask them who dwell there they will
tell, you that I was not dead n few
short hours ago.   No, dear; we are
both very much alive."
"But both Hazel nud M. Thuran told
me that you had fallen Into the ocean
a hundred miles from land," she urged
as though trying to convince him that
he must indeed be dead. "They said
that there was no question but that lt
must bave been you and less that yoa
could bavo survived or been picked
up."'- ...   ...
"How canl convince you that 1 am
no spirit?" he asked, with a laugh,
"lt was I whom tlie delightful M.
Thuran pushed overboard, but I did
not drown-l will tell you .*all about
it after awhile—and hero I am very
much the same wild man you first
knew, Jane Porter."
The girl rose slowly to her feet and
came toward him,   ■■■'■
"I cannot even yet believe it,* she
murmured. "It cannot be that such
happiness can be true after all the
hideous things that I have passed
through these awful months slnco the
Lady Alice went down."
, She came close to him and laid a
hand, soft and trembling, upon his
arm. •
"It must be that I am dreaming, and
that I shall awaken in a moment to see
that awful knife descending toward
my heart Kiss me, dear, Just once
before I lose my dream forever."
Tarzan of tbe Apes needed no second
invitation. Ho took the girl he loved

asEea mm many questions, and: be tiar-'
rated every detail of his civilized Hfo
to her, omitting nothing, for he felt no
shame since his heart always bad been
true to her. When he had finished he
sat looking at her as though waiting
for her judgment and his sentence.
"I knew that he was not speaking
the truth," she said. "Oh, what a horrible creature he is!"
"You are not angry with me, then?"
he asked.
And her reply, though apparently
most irrelevant, was truly feminine.
"Is Olga de Coude very beautiful?"
she asked.
And Tarzan laughed and kissed her
again. "Not one-tenth so beautiful aa
you, dear," he said.
She gave a. contented little sigh anf
let her head rest against his shoulder.
He knew that he was_forgiven.
CHAPTER ~XXIX.
The Passing of tho Ape-Man.
HAT night Tarzan built a' snug
little bower high among the
swaying branches of a giant
tree, and there the tired girl
while in a crotch beneath* her
the ape-man curled,  ready,  even in
sleep, to protect her.
It took tbem many days to make the
long journey to the coast, Where the
way was easy they walked hand in
hand beneath the arching.bows' of the
mighty forest, as might in a far gone
past have walked their primeval forbears. Where the underbrush was
tangled ho took her in his great arms
and bore her lightly through tho trees,
aud the days were all too short for
they were very happy. Had it not
been for their anxiety to reach and
succor Clayton they would have drawn
out the sweet pleasure of that wonderful journey Indefinitely,
On tho last day before they reached
the coast Tarzan caught the scent of
men ahead of them—the scent of black
men. He told the girl and cautioned
her to maintain silence. "There are
few friends in the jungle," he remarked dryly.
In half an hour they came stealthily
upon a small party of black warriors
filing toward the west. As Tarzan saw
them he gave a cry of delight It
was u band of his own Wn ■ * it. Busuli
wa? there and others who i;:td accompanied him to Opar. At sight of him
tbey danced and'cried out in exuberant
Joy. For weeks they had been searching for him, they told him.
The blacks exhibited considerable
wonderment at the presence of the
whito girl with him, and when they
found tbat she was to be his woman
tliey vied with one another to do her
honor. With the happy Waziri laughing and dancing about tbem, they
came to the rude shelter by tbe shore.
There was no sign of life and no response to their calls. Tarzan clambered quickly to theMnterior of the little tree but,, only to emerge a moment ,

As promised last week we are herewith giving the attack made upon Pre.
sident Christophers of District 18 by
Andy Davison, of tlie Calgary Typo,
graphical Union appropos of certain
remarks alleged to have been made to
a Calgary Herald reporter by "Chris."
Editor The Herald:
In tlio news columns of your issuo
of April 28 there was printed an article headed "Typos Flayed by Presid.
ent of Miners' Union," in which appeal's certain statements, .made by one
P. 3d. Christophers, derogatory to Cal.
gary'Typographical Union, which I
think requires a reply. It is quite true
that 142 members of tha printers' or.
ganization voted against the One Big
Union proposal and in doing so the
typos have nothing to be ashamed of.
Instead,-in my opinion, they have exhibited a brand of intelligence that no
due ever accused "Comrade" Christo.
phers of possessing. v
For the information of the president
or District 18 of the /United Aline
Workers of America, I herewith submit
the following facts regarding the International Typographical Union.
Realizing that the job of keeping his
polyglot aggregation in hand must
take up considerable of his valuable
tiine, I trust that he will find sufficient
leisure to at least endeavor to let a
small portion of this information soak
into his highly developed cranium,
even if it comes from a member of an
organization the sum total of whose
intelligence, he claims "could be
screwed into the leg of a mosquito."
In the first place, I must confess
that the International Typographical
Union cannot boast of the same number
of unsuccessfully conducted strikes as
the union of which Christophers is one
of the leaders. Furthermore, we are
a solvent institution. It Is our proud
claim that we are one of the richest
branches of the labor movement; Our
funds are handled judiciously and in a
businesslike manner. We do not boast
of a dozen or so vlce.presidents, dis.
tri-Qt representatives and gooaness only
knows what other kind of representatives, who pull down real money on a
featherbed job. No doubt this is an
exhibition of crass ignorance on our
part when judged by Christophers'
standard and places us iu a position of
being aristocrats because we possess
some real coin in our treasury. Our
anion has an old age pension scheme,
whereby those of our members who
are no longer able to follow the "art
Calgary have too much to lose to try
any such experiment. It may be all
right for.some irresponsible organiza.
tion that has never made a success of
any venture to grasp at something new
even if it is a gamble, whether or not
it is a good thing. But to an institution that has everything to lose and
nothing to gain it is a different pro.
position. The splendid positon of the
I. T. U, today has been secured by
the concerted action of the1 member,
ship, without assistance from any oth.
er organization. We are strong enough
to stand on our own feet. No aggrega.
tion of professional labor agitators are
going to stampede us. Wo will be do.
ing business at the same old stand
when they and their "One Big Lemon"
have been consigned to the labor bone-
yard, leading a bunch of sadder but
wiser experimentalists.
There are many other points I could
touch on, Mr. Editor, but lack of space
forbids. I might remark, however,
that Calgary Typographical Union is
100 per cent. British and that English
is the mother tongue of every one of
our members. This again may account
for our terrible lack of ordinary in.
telligence but we are proud of it just
the same. I could also fill much space
narrating our splendid war record. But
what is the use. It would only show
that we were the willing tools of
scheming capitalists and again demon,
strate just how ignorant and simple
we are—maybe.
I think the jewel of the whole tfr.
ade of Christophers' is the statement
that "these jokers go ahead printing all
sorts of rubbish hitting unionism and
have not the courage of a goose to say
they won't do it." Good Knight! An.
other example of free speech idea of
the sponsors of the O. 'B. U. Applaud
any one who believes as you do, but
howl down the unfortunate individual
who is opposed to you. This was
amply demonstrated at the now famous meeting in'-Paget hall. I presume
that the union engineer on the C. P. It.
who drives a train on which some not.
ed opponent of union labor is riding instead of refusing to go on the job, is
also one of those unfortunate Individ,
uals who hasn't the courage of a
goose. If this is the only argument
that this Moses of the labor movement
can bring against the Calgary printers,
why he is awful short of ammunition
and is condemned by the exuberance of
his own verbosity.
In conclusion I would remark that
there is an institution at Ponoka which
is filled with people who demonstrated
the same sort of intelligence as those
who are now "flaying" the printers be.
cause the latter refused to be led by
the nose by an aggregation of profes.
sional agitators, whose outstanding
characteristics nre incompetency and
consummate gall. So -Mr. Christophers
had better beware!
Yours truly, '-     o

The following reply from President
Christophers appears   in the Calgary
Albertan:
Editor, Albertan:
The Issue of tho 1st Inst, of th» Calgary Herald contains a communication
Signed by one Andy Davison, who is'
apparently a member of tho typo,
graphical union No. 449, in which lam
severely scored for what was contained ln a news article, which ap.
peared in the columns of that highly
esteemed journal aomo time since.
I may say that when tho article ap.
peared In tho news columns it was so
unrepresentative of what was actually
said, that I did not deem it worthy of a
reply. I thought that auch an article In
the news columns of a newspaper
would be beneath the notico of such
an—Intelligent—-body aa tho Typos. In
tbla, however, it seems I am somewhat
mistaken.
What Comrado Davison haa seen
At to aay about tno personally may, I
believe, be passed over at this time, it
will, no doubt, be very highly ap.
predated by our capitalistic frlonds,
and thoy ahould esteem it an honor to
be defended by auch an able pen as
that wielded by Comrado Davison.
Aa far as tho voto of tho typographical union on tho O. H. U. ia concerned,
I grant overy other body the same
rights aa I claim for tho organlratton
to which I belong, namely to voto an
they may see fit In the premises, al,
ways crediting them with honesty of
purpose. In so doing, I havo never
yet criticised any person for voting aa
thoy may deom best, bnt I believe the
same rights ahould be oxtendod to
those who vote In favor of the O. fl. U.
and they ahould be credited with the
aame honeaty of purpose in ao doing,
•nd thtt np-to.dat« haa not boon done,

The District Ledger during the past
fe-A' weeks caused a miscalculation in
the supply of newsprint contracted for,

months' shipment has not arrived in

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS
UNVEIL HONOR ROLL
A most enjoyable gathering was
held by the Knights of Pythias and tho
Pythian Sisters on Tuesday evening
when the Honor Roll of the lodge was
unveiled. The illuminated roll, artlstil
cally engraved by N. H. Hawkins, of
Vancouver, and appropriately framed,
carries the following names of the
Pernio Knights who took part in the
great war:
Piano Tuning—If .your piano needs
tuning send a note to Box 498, Pernie
and I will call and do the work for
you  at  a  reasonable   cost. 1*.   O.

Chief of Police Welsby to Resign.—
Citizens of Fernie will learn with regret of Chief of Police .Welsby's intention to resign and move to the east'..
Chief Welsby has made many friends
in Fernie. The nature of his position
, is such that.it has demanded an exercise of patience and tolerance and
both of these qualities he possesses
ir. connection with a sense of justice
and fairness that is too ■frequentl'-*
lacking on the part of those "clothed
in authority." It will lie a long (lav
before E'eruie will be able to get another chief who can be classed as
"just as good as Welsby."

I noticed in several papers that it
is the intention of some of the film
manufacturers to stage a film, somewhere in Florida (note the place) illustrating the Bolsheviki movement in
Russia. They also think that they are
going to use the returned soldier to
make tbeir picture a success. They
must be poor fools, or Barnum must
be down there if they think the return,

out of the fire.
