TRADE WITH SOVIETS PROHIBITED BY BANKS CHICAJGO—Added evidence that the American government Is determined to prevent all intercourse with Soviet Russia is contained in a circular letter just issued by the Continental and Commercial National Bank of Chicago to all of its,correspondents. This letter, among other things, quotes the following order from the Federal Ite- rerve iBank,, dated June 24: •Dealings ln foreign exchange or securities with or for persons in that part ot Russia now under the control of the so-called Bolshevik government are prohibited." The letter is accompanied by a notice from its foreign department, quoting the rates paid for foreign money. Front this lt appears that the only Russian money which this bank ac cepta is of the pre-war varioty, tho rate being, for gold, fifty cents per rouble, but for paper only ten cents. ONE BIG UNION IS SPREADING TO 6TATE8 (BUTTE, Mont., July 7.—DelegatC8 from labor organizations In Montana and northwestern states and Canadian provinces, met yesterday and planned the organization of the One Big Union, designed to include nil crafts and locals of the American Federation of Labor and independent labor unions, Committees were appointed, including a constitutional committee,' which was instructed to study, the constitution of the One Big Union organization in Canada and report today with recommendations for the framing of a'-constutltion for themovement in the I'nited States. LABOR AND MILITARISM NOVA SCOTIA MINERS TO BORDEN They Stand for One Big Organization of Canadian Workers. SYDNEY, N.-S., July 8—That Cape Breton miners disapprove of the recent amendment to the immigration act and are not entirely in accord Avith government pronouncements on the subject of the right of the workers of the country to organize to suit themselves, is indicated by the action taken at a meeting of the executive of the United Mine Workers, District No 26, at Glace Bay headquarters yesterday. The principal action, consisted of a' formal demand upon Sir Robert Borden for a repeal of the obnoxious clauses of the Immigration act; the forwarding of $500 to Winnipeg to assist with the defense of the labor leaders arrested under the provisions of that act, and the ser/ing of notice on the Premier that the United Mine Workers holds itself as entitled to organize to suit itself and to band all the workers in Canada Into one organization, if they see that they are more effectively served by organising in that way. Concerning the repeal of the Immigration act the resolution says: "District No. 26, United Mino Workers of America, demand the immediate repeal of the amendments recently made to the Immigration act which resulted in the arrest of the Winnipeg strikers." iSir Robert Borden is informed that "we shall use all our influence fto bring all the workers in Canada together into one organization so that they can take , united action when the opportunity best suits them to use either their political or individual power to secure such advantages as they themselves deem just and right, even if that should mean the annulate over-' throw of the capitalist class and the substitution therefor of the absolute ownership and control of industry by the working class." A sensation has been created by tho publication in the London (England) Dally Herald of a secret Instruction to army officers, containing a number of inquiries to be answered with reference to their troops, including questions concerning the men's attitude—towards—trade—unionismr—an-d- also asking whether they would, in the event of a strike, assist in breaking it, W. Adamson, iM. P., will ask in the House whether this document was issued with the knowledge and approval of the cabinet, and whether early facilities can be given tor a debate on the subject. Certainly, the riBing tide ot Indignation against the continuance of conscription and the Initiation of new wars against -Socialist governments abroad will not be allayed by this revelation of the government's military policy. Cogitations By The Cobbler (By The Cobbler) After looking at the fruitless at- temptsot tbe British and Australian Ubor Parties to charge the present system, which holds labor as any other commodity on the market and trades In labor power in the same manner as It trades In cattle or hogs, we are led to believe that there is little to expect from the much-talked of use of the ballot and so called Parliamentary action. it waa much the same in (lermany previous to nineteen fourteen when a large number or Socialists were members of the Reichstag. We beard men arguo that owing to this Tact there would be no war at least as rar as (lermany was concerned, but lo and behold! when the war started we And thai iflth one or two notable exceptions the so-called socialist mem* ben roted with the government. After reviewing wbat baa been accomplished by the ballot and ceneld- .erlng what are the changes in the position of the employing class owing largely to tbe introduction of labor saving machinery we And tbat Ubor geta a relatively smaller portion of «bat it now produces than It did previous to the Introduction of Its -representatives Into thu parliamentary arena. In the meantime wbat has labor accomplished on the Industrial Held? It has In most cases, through Indus trial action, shortened tho hours of labor, bettered the working condition*, and In some eases gained Increases in pay and It ha brought lia members Into a solidly organised body which la J«*t new beginning to reel wit ita own strength In the etra* gte between It and Its manter, Nearly all the trials of strength between emanlred labor en the one hand and ©rganteed enptfnt on the ether hav* been loeg-drawn out eon- * tenia la which organised capital has been Um victor simply because of IU pew*! tv ********** ttt* amt***4 t«»<» wm- tpv-l ntifl Ittt jitwew fit TrrHTi«,'p*1,,f»fl after the ewntett was over.

Labor has learned that' as capital combines so must labor combine if it wishes to be effective In tbe industrial field and already labor Is in preparation for a struggle on the field of industry that will dwarf the Winnipeg and its sympathetic stvikes Into insignificance. '..'..•• Help! The "Department,of Justice" is uot handicapped for funds with which to efcrry on the prosecution of the men arrested in connection with the Winnipeg strike. There is already an array of legal talent at work on the prosecution and the various raids that have been carried on are all tor tne purpose and in the hope of securing some evidence upon which the charge pf "undesirables" hw be supported. It has been almost Impossible to secure a lawyer of attainments in Winnipeg to take up the defense. Influences have been at work. This defense of the men will take a large sum of money. The Minister of Labor has already found the men "guilty" before their trial and he has found a willing press to circulate all manner of falsehoods and Inuendos which will surely influence junirs when it is considered from which class jurors usually are chosen. There is no denying the fact that the prisoners have an uphill fight. They' have the sympathy of the workers and they must also have their support. In this period of strike it is not to be expected that the workers of District 18 will do as well as they might otherwise have done but THEY WILL DO SOMETeiNO. The miners in Nova Scotia have already forwarded Ave hundred dollars to the defence fund; more will follow from the same source. The metaliferous! miners of Trail, Kimberley, Sandon, Silverton, Jtossland, Nelson, Hedley and other camps in British Columbia are already collecting sums of money to be forwarded to Winnipeg. From all over Canada comes the news that subscriptions are being taken up and individual remittances are being made. District 18 is not in a position to donate largely as a District but we know of several individuals who have already pulled their belts up a notch tighter and sent a few dollars. All money should be sent direct to Jamos Law, Secty. Defence Committee, Room 12, Labor Temple, Winnipeg. A STORY FROM DRUMHELLER ■ • . ■ Via .Trita, Via Tuta—."The Beaten Path Is The Safe Path " At the Drumheller mine on a certain night now two weeks or more past the most amusing event of the District strike took place and this in spite of the fact that the coal company hns searchlights on the top of the tipple and a bunch of pickets to keep tho "anarchists" and •'Bolsheviki'' from treading on their sacred private property. v The company had suspected that for several nights a Bolshevik had been tampering with the machinery and pumps. H. Courder, the pit boss, resolved to capture * tho "dam—aging destructor." He spent a sleepless night in the mine, ambushed not far from the pump and ever on the qui vivi. At last the assassin appeared' Stealthily he came sno.iikinsj down the slope; flashlight in hand he shipped past the pit boss in blissful ignorance bf tho trap into which he wa3 moving. The villain approaciied the pump and the pit boss saw the work of I. W. W. sabotage begin. Swiftly aud surely the work went on. At last it was ended and the disciple of Tros- tky started on the return trip on the path back to Democracy and Liberty. But what was that! A missile came hurtling through the darkness and scored a bulls eye on the "red." Then ping! bing! bang! biff! the air was •filled with well directed lumps of conl thrown yith the speed and .accuracy of a southpaw, Safe in his dark .corner tto pit boss kept up a fusilade. Then came return shots. In tho next half hour at least a carload of coal must have gone through the air and bath men became exhausted. Adam Pray, the master mechanic, was the first to capitulate for it was he who had gone to fix tho pump and whom Courder took for a Bolshevik. When the first coal struck Pray he thought he was being attacked, by one of the dangerous men who have made it necessary, to fill our fair western country with red c^ted, gun armed protectors of the weak and the women. He fought back. Just how the capitulation came about'wlll never be known for both men have sworn a deep, dark oath of secrecy. Work in Mines Likely To Resume Within Week Unless Owners of Mines and Governments Continue Quibbling There are predictions being made that the strike in,District lii will end next week. As announced last week the District ollicers and the policy committee notified Director of Coal ■Operations Armstrong that as Peace iiud been signed the old agreement had expired and they wore prepared io negotiate another agreement. Considerable correspondence bus been carried on which will be published in iOur next issue. The chief concern of •(the Director of Coal Operations and of the Western Coal Operators' Association is regarding the organization with whom tiie agreement is to be made, the U. -M. W. of A. or the One Big Union. The government and the operators are determined that the Ono Big Union will not bo recognized. The Director of Coal Operations has been notified that the agreement can only be made with District !.»' U. M, iW. of A., under the charter of which the miners unions of this District operate and the officers of the District have been appointed according to the ll. >M. W. of A, constitution. It is true that the membership have expressed very forcefully their opinion of the international' but they have not yet withdrawn, or been expelled, from that organization or have they become a part of any other organization. -..At the time of writing no reply has been received announcing the willingness of. the operators to negotiate or the order of the government for them'.eo to do. The strike has extended for over six weeks. Without, a cent of relief, the men have stood firm. It is needless to deny that many of them have felt and are feelina; the pinch, the pinch which tho employers hope- will make them mom, docile in the future. On the other hand the. closing down of the mines has resulted in ■ serious losses for the other side j'losses" which could easily have heen averted had it not been for the decision of The Saturday, July 19 l By The Cobbler) Bolshevism, 8edltIon, Treason, Anarchy, Agitation, these are the words that greets one's eye when ono picks up the subsidized dally sheets, tt up- pears as if the Dominion government is in engaged in an lmmonse propaganda to railroad the men arrested in connection with the Winnipeg strike to u term of Imprsonmont, regardless of whether they are Innocent or guilty. It would seem as though tho much- boasted axiom or tbe British of people being Innocent until they ar.> proven guilty was a misnomer, snd that the powers that be are cngagad In a cam. paigu to influence public opinion previous to the prisoners being brought to trial. If the -Minister ot Ubor is really desirous or seeing Justice done and.If be thinks that It Is at nil necessary to publish the evidence tbat the so-called Department of Jusilce has tn submit iu nn eftori uj vou via ihtt men under arrest, why, when publishing a letter, or wlis-t purports to be siuih. why dees De not give tho public the whelo contents ot the letter? We all know tbat If we take certain paragraphs of a letter and give thom to the public we may create an Itnpres slon that would not be creatiul if the whole ot the contents or the letter were published. This has been done either by tbe Minister of Ubor or by tbe press which has led tbe public to believe that they wer» reading the verbatim report given out by the Minister. Who U at fault we do not tl preaent know bnt there is no doubt that tbe trail will bring ono or other Into more or less prominence before the public, provided, of course, that the subsidised press prints the whole of the evidence offend. Until that time we bolievo that the public should with- old any expression ot opinion as to their guilt or Innocence, We do know, however, that the •*-,■.■.**.-.*•- tl,*' ■ r, t .- —iV . ..* , I. this matter Is net MtndwHv** in th*\ (nmm. tntarwau ot the community as a • hole.. If (be government had realised that there waa something fundamentally wrong, if they had proceeded along the lines ot first finding the eattM for the etteet tbey might hsve mm ta a poettioN to presenta a rata* nty. Tbn Minister of Ubor haa, however, prescribed the medicine before he has diagnosed the complaint from Vbirh the victim is suffering and we bave serious doubts It the cure will not be worse tban the original complaint from which the victim suffered.

P. R. subsidiary concern) "to teach thoso damn miners in the Crow a lesson." The big Interests have the absolute co-op6ratlon if both' federal and prft- vlnical governments, the petty politicians of which will in due season be telling the workers how they lay awake nights thinking up .plans to anioliorate their conditions*) When Ottawa was approached the department of labor said that all matters of working conditions, wages, etc, wore up to tho government at Victoria, Hon. minister of mines Sloan got within a few hours of Kernie wheu no decided that such matters wero up to Otyiwa aud he would come to Ferine "shortly." The "buck" passed to and fro, liven Honest John Oliver who "hates" corporation with a undying hatred and who would like to seo tho coal mines in British Columbia kept at* a high rate of production, so that his government could collect tbe production royalties, hesitated. He was visited by certain officials and it was pointed out to him that he must not appoint an investigation commission even if ho.had been assured that the mere appointment of such a commission would end the strike "within twenty-four hours." He waa told that tho miners iu District 18 wero a bad lot with Bolshevik and Ono Big IJnion ideas in their heads and tlu/t a long drawn out strike "might bring them to their senses." And against this there cannot be any demur. Such strikes do help to bring the workers to their senses. They are coming to their senses with a rapidity that only those who study carefully the working of economic laws can understand. Another factor in the strike has been the work of International officials. This Is not the time to go Into this phase of the matter at any great length. As a meiniiur of Gladstone local expressed it in a recent meeting. "The triple alliance of the governments, the operators and the International labor organisations is a heavy force to buck." Tho District Ledger is not prepared to say when the men will resume work, That rests in the hands of thc operators. Tho workers are willing to negotiate a new agreement and to go ahead producing coal. Unfortunately the workers do not own the mines and must wait until the owners are ready to allow them to go to work. The C. P. R. still has a number of heavy banks of coal and assert that they "could Btfltul a KJriX-t. iintn-ntfA-w- ;;_ necessary„ The Crow's Nest Pass Coal Company are quite wijllng to seo the mines at Pernie quit for good and are already exulting over the cheaper coal they can produce elsewhere on the property which cost them less than two bits an acre. The smaller mining concerns throughout Alberta would like to get started right away but they aro such small fry they cut Utile figure alongside of the dominating factors la the Western Coal Operators' Association, Wo will venture no predictions in regard to the Yuture actions of the corporations and tbeir good allies the governments but can only quoto Mr. Asquith: "Watt and see."

He made but a few miles a day, for lie had a whole lifetime before him and no place in particular to go. Possibly be would bave moved more rapidly but for tbe thought wbleb continually haunted him that each mile he traversed carried him farther and farther away from Meriem—no longer his Merl. em, as of yore, It is true, but still as dear to him as ever. Thus he came upon the trail of the sheik's band as it traveled down river from the point where the sheik had captured Meriem to its own stockaded village. Suddenly he came to the camp of the renegade Swede Malblhn, whose black attendants fled ih terror at sight i of Tantor and Korak. Malblhn lay ia a hammock beneath a canopy before bis tent His wounds were painful, and be had lost much j blood. He was very weak. He looked * up in surprise as he beard the screams ; of his men and saw them running to*.)'. ward the gate. j And then from around the corner of hia tent loomed a huge bulk, and Tan' tor, tbe great tusker, towered above j him. " j Malblhn's boy, feeling neither affec- | tion nor loyalty for bis master, broke and ran at the flrst glimpse of the ; beast, and Maibihn was left alone and ' helpless. The elephant stopped a couple of paces from the wounded man's hammock. Malblhn cowered, moaning. He was too weak to escape. He could only lie tbere witb staring eyes, gazing in horror into the blood rimmed, angry little orbs fixed upon him, and await his death. ! Then, to his astonishment, a man 1 slid to the ground from the elephant's back. Almost at once Malblhn recog- nlzed the strange figure aa that of the neeis, ana men snenny crossed tne space to the rugs that partitioned the tent into, two rooms. Parting the! hangings, Meriem looked into the front! room. It, too, was deserted. ! She crossed to the door of tbe tent and looked out Then she gave a little gasp of horror. Baynes at her shoulder looked past her to the sight that had startled her, and he, to», exclaimed, but his was an oath of anger. A hundred feet away they saw Korak bound to a stake, tbe brush piled about him already alight The Englishman pushed Meriem to one side and started on a run for the doomed man. What he could do in the face of scores of hostile blacks and Arabs he did not stop to consider. At the same instant Tantor broke through the palisade and charged the group. In the face of the maddened beast the crowd turned and fled, carrying Baynes backward with them. Tantor wrapped his trunk about the body of Korak and the stake to which it was bound and tore it from the ground. Lifting his burden high above his bead, the giant beast wheeled and raced for the breach lie had just made ln the palisade. The sheik, rifle In band, rushed directly in the path ot tbe maddened brute. He raised his weapon and fired once. The bullet missed its mark, and Tantor was upon him, crushing bim beneath bis gigantic feet as ho raced over blm. And then; bearing his burden carefully, Tantor,' the elephant entered the blackness of the jungle. In a moment it was all over, and tbe elephant had disappeared with his prize, but pandemonium reigned throughout tie village. Men, women and children ran belter skelter for safety. Curs fled, yelping. The horses and camels and donkeys, terrorized by the trumpeting of the pachyderm, kicked and pulled at their tethers. A dozen or more broke loose, and it my rope, wnn It you can scale tne was the galloping of these past him wall and make your escape." ! that brought a sudden idea into "But you, Korak?" cried Meriem. j Baynes' head.

Sir Thomas Lipton is one of the oddest mixtures of brains and blarney that ever came prominently before the public, He is a survivor of that school of extraordinarily shrewd Irish-bred merchants, who at one time were 4he backbone of the commercial world, Noawdays, when an-Irish name on a great mercantile establishment is almost a curiosity, the public is".prone to forget that originally the Irish were omnipresent traders, from push-cart peddlers to founders of huge department stores. To Canadians Sir.Thomas Lipton is known as a percnninl and irrepressible challenger for the America Cup, the historic prize in international yachting.

"Now run for it," he admonished and turned to meet and hold those who were pouring into the tent from the front. The ape man fought well, fought as he had never fought before, but the odds were too great for victory, though be won that which be most craved— time for the Englishman to escape with Meriem. Tben he was overwhelmed by numbers, and a tew minutes later, bound and guarded, he was carried to the sheik's tent The old man eyed blm in silence for a long time. He was trying to fix In his own mind some form of torture that would gratify his rage and hatred ■WwaTa™tiiilTreaOT been the means of bis losing possession ef Meriem. And as he sat there looking upon Korak the silence was broken by tbe trumpeting of an elephant in the Jungle beyond the palisade. A half smile touched Korak's tips. He turned his head a trifle in the direction from which the sound had come, and then there broke from his Ups a low, weird calL One of the blacks guarding him struck him across the mouth with the haft of his spear, but none there knew the significance of his cry. In the jungle Tantor cocked bis ean as tbe sound of Korak's voice fell opon them. He approached the palisade and, lifting his trunk above It, sniffed.

Maibihn cowered still lower. It was from Malblhn's dying lips that Korak learned of tbe Swede's encounter with Baynes and how Meriem was again In the camp of the ahlek. Korak lost no time in seeking her. When speed was required Korak de. pended upon no other muscles tban his own, and so lt was tbat the moment Tantor had landed blm safely opon the same side of the river as lay the vll- lage of tbe sheik tbe ape man deserted his bulky comrade and took to tbt trees In a rapid race toward tho sooth and the spot where the Swede bad told blm Meriem might be.

Russell, A Prince cf Anecdotists Stories of Famous Men HE late George W. B. Russell was known in Britain as a prince of anecdotists," In one book he recalls the Duk^ of Wellington saying that he had "been much exposed to authors"; all his long life Russell was much exposed to the great men of a time and society rich in them, and employed1 his opportunity well. When James Payn was dying he used to visit him to retell amusing stories characteristic of those he had met, and the veteran journalist advised him to make a book of them. "Col- . lections and Recollections," of 1898, was followed by a long list of titles. In his last volume Russell entertainingly proved that he had been acquainted with every Premier since his uncle, Lord John Russell. Writers of anecdotal memoirs, autobiographies, and diaries have abounded in England for a long time past. Poets from Moore to Austin, statesmen from Greville to Lucy, generals,, journalists, schoolmen, clerics; have left ub long shelves interesting chiefly for anecdotes of the personages of the day. Of those who founded their tame on Virgilium tantum vidi, none deserved it more than Russell. A good story is its own excuse for being. But one service of writers like Russell is that they give us an intimate, informal view ot characters who otherwise would be seen only as on dress parade. Anecdotists like J. R. Pianche, William Jerdan, William Harness, Thomas Ralkes, A. J. O. Hare, offer biographers stones which thfcy can polish into Illuminating jewels. We know that Lord Shaftesbury was a philanthropic reformer and the soul- of practicality; Russell illustrates it in telling how Shaftesbury replied to a Whltechapel clergyman who, when asked about relieving some starving children, said: "My God will supply their needs"; "Yes, so Ho will, but they must bave some food directly." It is a glimpse of the real Browning one boresome guest with endless questions, Browning disengaged himself by finally exclaiming: "But, my dear fellow, this is too bad; I am monopolizing you." The story is illuminating of Bishop ThorOld's rep|y to a pertinacious pastor who badgered him for leave to visit the Holy Land: Dear Blank: Go to Jericho. Yours, H. W. T." We can better credit Strachey's recent portrait of Cardinal Manning when we read how, after Newman's death, Russell asked Manning as to the truth of some recent harsh articles on the divine.

" Tbe principal touch* stone differentiating a good anecdote trom vulgar gossip ts truth to fact. The motive also must bo regarded; there aro not only mallciops anecdotes, but the tuft-hunter's anecdotes, retailed to prove an intimacy witb the great. Anecdotists who take their craft seriously may well contribute to social history, as Pepya unconsciously and Greville consciously did. Russell had a careful regard to the Illustration of traits of his time, and developed in his essays a commentary upon the social, political, religious, and intellectual tendenclea ot the last half century that cannot be neglected In looking tor Information on theae topics. For tho anecdotal essayist Uke itussell every current movement Is a glorious show. The woman-suffrage struggle waa simply a pageant which present ed many piclureHQue facta and episodes to the curious neutral; and yet Russell helped define public opinion. He In* kUted that British society—In both broad and narrow luoauluua ot the word — had changed Infinitely for thc better In bin time. Tho Shore- ditch woman who. being asked at a honpllal by the surgeon what animal had given her a bile larger than a dog's and smaller than a horse's, replied, "No animal, air — another lydy," Is less common than once. A royal scion would not now delight to PuhIi a lady Into a pond.

Box 380 VICTORY BONDS AS AN ANTIDOTE TO BOLSHEVISM There is some norry at Ottawa rewarding the coming issue of Victory Bonds. The worry centers around how the campaign of advertising is to bo conducted now that tho excitement of war time has passed. AYith the previous issues strong and successful attempts were made to dispose of the bonds of small denominations among the workers. When Sir Thomas White went to \yashington over two years ngo and looked into thd plans of the ilnnnciers across the bordor he wnB much impressed with tho ■" Liberty Loan" idea, for it was shown to hini that "If wo can only get a big body of the workers to invest in tho bonds it will have a great effeqt in preventing industrial- unrest after the war." Tho sale of Victory, Bonds in Cana. da was a great success. Thousands upon thousands of workers invested in the smaller denominations and many wealthy people withdrew capital rrom industry and invested in thi non-t.x- able bonds. D'iriiic; the past three months there hive' been many sales of the smaller bonds and brokers are doing quite a business In tha transfer The increasing cost of living, broken work periods and other causes have led to many of the workers having to relinquish their hold on the bonds in which thej" had invested their savings and these bonds, just as naturally as wnter seeks its level, have been flowing into the hands of those who control the great wealth of the country. Sir Thomas White's hope that the-) sale of the bonds among the workers would prevent industrial unrest has been only partially realized. The first seltng of bonds and war stamp9 did not call for any advertising regarding the eflicacy of this form of finance in the prevention of indus- trail unrest but in more recent ads we find: "Tho best antidote against Bolshevism is to he found in thfe popularizing of the 'get-a-stake-in-Canada' movement" The alleged "Bolshevists" in Canada are not objecting to the issuing of Victory or any other klqd of bonds but there Is an opposition developing among the politicians themselves and It will be f<>und that the Liberal press will be doing considerable "knocking" -a^lastH^s^ferm-^f-ftnancing-unlessi tho financial powor uses an effective muzzle. As an instance of what might he expected we clip from Hansard, which is the verbatim record or parliamentary talk at Ottawa, the following: , (Dr.M. Clark, M. P.. in House of Commons. Juno 12,1919) I have hoard a great deal of extravagant praise given to the Victory Loans, and I understand we are ta have another domestic loan floated. It ls well for us to understand economically what a domestic loan is. how It operates. These loans are bought and'owned, necessarily, mostly, by the wealthy people of the country, because you do not get them unless you have the money to pay for thom. They are owned tree ot taxation: they are bought by the wealthy who made millions In the war; and the Interest upon them will, we have been nMured, by the minister of nuance be extended over a largo number of future years upon the devoted heads of the rank and tile of the people of this country, tf you continue to raise your revenue by a tariff. Therefore, the loans being owned by the wealthy, the Intereat will be pald.flrst by every roturnod soldier and his wife anfl family upon clothes he wear* and the boots and the socks which his family wear; second, by thn rank of labor; third, by tbe farmers: and fourth, by tho goner- al consuming public of the country. Under those condition*. I have uo hesitation tn saying that I am not a live and a b-tlf per rent partrtot myself. There ts no pat rlotlsra In those loans and while that It a very strong autotnent ta make, many tbat have bought them say: We do not profess to be patriot* In buying upon tho credit of the Dominion ot Canada at dvt and a half per cent,; you could not get a better flnsnclal Investment upon tbe surface of the world. That Is bow I view these loans and that Is why I emphatically endorse the advice of the hon, member for Bronte wben he says stop borrowing. Since Dr Clark i«»d» bis speech, in fact within tbe pa»t few day*i, we bave tbe Information through 3. V. Morgan Company's efflce la Xew York that a group of United Urates bankers bave taken up the latest Uiue of t'sn- adtan bonds, a matter of tome nmmV) - Ave million dollars.

But that will not happen. The Canadian government has given Us pledge that every dollar will be paid and will exert every influence' at its command to prevent the Bolsheviki idea getting into this country that 'the workers should not be held responsible for the debts incurred, In Russia it is true that-many of the big financiers were killed by a people crazed by suffering and hunger. We want no killing in Canada and the government should proceed with caution and not use the forces of repression too freely. The workers of Canada can settle the matter without force or violence or the shedding of blood and the one big factor in this country today which will prevent the shedding of blood Is tho One Big Union which stands for the workers joining their forces as did Haig and Foch and Ca- dorni and the rest of the allied generals and forcing imperialism militarism and profiteering into oblivion by making the profiteers go to work and at the same time giving them all a chance to live and be happy. The Morgans, the big bond houders and the profiteers generally do not like the One Big Union Idea of everybody taking a part in producing wealth and since they have a big Influence over press and church and state that Influence is being used to kill the One Big Union.

"Make no mistake," declares Mr. Varley, "Radicals must either get rid of their Ideas or we shall get rid of them." The Associated Press depatch adds: Both Varley and Rlgg were emphatic In their statements that the big federations were out to smash radicalism and the One Big Union."

Thachuk, Sec. (Seal of local attached) It is gratifying to me that the charge that I am to answer is nothing worse ■than the expresion of my opinions, as is shown by the above circular, and when I Joined the mineworkers* organization in 1903 I was assured of perfect freedom in these matters. I was further asked to defend freedom of thought whether expressed by tongue or pen, and, looked at in the light of recent events, it Is a policy advocates of 0. fi. U. should adopt. I am fully conscious of the needs and desires ot my fellow mineworkers in that we wish to obtain the fullest measure of the values we produce and to that end we must fully organic the workers ot our own trade and alio seek the co-operation and assistance of the workers ln other trades. I have worked ln the mines since 1 was twelve years ot age. for thirty years, and I have observed one characteristic of the mineworkers which is both a virtue and a failing, if such a term can be used; it is this: they are continually trying to improve the status of the whole working class movement, but it has had a woeful effect on their own material interests. It is In order tq overcome this continual sacrifice , and a desire to have the mineworkers centre their efforts in the improvement ot their own material interests and conditions, coupled with the tact that the methods outlined by the OneBlgUnion cannot meet the present demands, that I have opposed the proposition, and for which you ask my recall, My duties as an executive officer of the Alberta Federation of Labor have enabled me to closely analyze the feelings of the various affiliated tirades, and I have concluded In my own mind that however much the need may be for fuller co-operation, there ls a very large element of those trades who are not ready for, and what 13 more vital, not educated to, the proposed new movement, and knowing this, I would not be doing my duty to those I represent ifl did not speak as I feel As for my poeition on the policy committee, let me Bay, the Convention laid down "Iron-clad" instructions to their committee, I have acted strictly in keeping with'the mandates of that convention, and no charge is brought against me wherein I have neglected my duties as an officer. (My crime is that I have expressed my opinion a- gainst the One Big Union and as the district executive hoard, together with the policy committee cannot transact business of the mineworkers successfully with a member who is hostile to ■OTTBrrUrl^tfiorefore ft»ilows~that It j now becomes an offence to hold the views of the minority. I have been an advocate ot free speech and press at all times owing to the action ot the ruling class, but to find my own class adopting these methods is indeed disappointing and to say the least, It Ib ah unjust stand for the advocates of the One 'Big Union to take. I would say in conclusion, that the beet o( my time and ability has been at the service of my fellow workers, (Member" Wheatfey"stlUmaintained! and will still continueto be, regardless his stand against 0. B. U. when debating with Brother Susnar, Therefor* <Be It Reeolved tbat Board Member Wheatley be recalled and that the executive board be asked to put the recall Into operation, and to suepend Brother Wheatley until such time as the vote u taken on recall and that the Secretary be Instructed to send a copy of tbls resolution to all lo- ot the action you may take In the matter. It has been one ot my characteristics that I am mostly working along with the minority, but I have at all times spoken out openly on mattera affecting my class and am offering no apologies for my action, and still remain, Faithfully yours, FRANK W'HEATLKY.

American Federation And Dominion Congress Start Campaign For The Extermination of The One Big Union (Canadian Press Dispatch.) Winnipeg, July 7.—War without quarter and to the death has been declared on the One Big Union by the American Federation of Labor audi the Dominion Trades and Labor Congress. The opening campaign has already been launched in Winnipeg under the leadership of William Varley, Toron- ,4orgeneRil-^rg^nlser^f-tiie-^r£?r-6v-&tr and R. A. Rigg, former secretary of the Trades and Labor Council and e::- member of the -Manitoba legislature, who has Just been appointed general organizer for western Canada of the Dominion Congress. Organized labor, not only ln Winnipeg, but throughout the west is to be swept clean of radical leadership and revolutionary doctrines if the campaign Is successful. Every local union In the cities of western Canada will have to prove Ita loyalty to the principles of labor In the past, or Bhow them for the future by complete reorganization. The Trades and Labor Council of Winnipeg, Calgary and Vancouver will- be reorganized unless its members indicate that thoy have no use for the propaganda of tho 0. H. U. and its revolutionary doctrines. "Sane" leaders will have to be plnced In chargo of every labor organization and complete co-operation with tho American Federation of Ubor as sured or locals will lose their chartf-rs. Winnipeg is to have a labor organization that la conservative and ihat from the federation of labor during the strike, will .sacrifice their charters, and these charters will not be restored until the'locals have been reorganized under conditions' acceptable to the central bodies. Both! men who are leading the fight against the One Big Union are returned soldiers. Varley was formcly secretary of the uunuuiB iiaues* cuuliui]-in~~roruuiu. " Such reorganization as is planned would mean the cud of general cr sympathetic strikes in Winnipeg. "Tho strike here was engineered by a few fanatics," said Varley. They were out to create chaok even at the expense of destroying their own organization, just as a drunken man starts in by breaking up his own furniture." Owing to the fact that conditions surrounding the cause and conduct of tho strike sre still in many cases mooted, Varley said that-a thorough investigation of the attitude of every labor organization In the city would have tp be made before final stepR were taken. Both Varley and Rigg ware emphatic in thfir statements that the big federations were out to smash radicalism and tho One Ilig Union. "The attitude of the Trades nnd Labor Congress Is definitely oppoied to the One Big Union, and to the secession movement, which would load to severance of relation* and nflllift- tlors existing between Canadian and FERNIE LODGE, KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS, NO. 31 Will meet regularl> every Tuesday even (ng at 8 o'clock.

The most popular young lady in Fernie is to receive this bonor and the popularity will be tested by votes. Tickets are now on sale at all the stores, banks and by many im dividual solicitors at 10 cents each. Each ticket counts for one Vote. The contestants are the Misses D. Henderson, J. Richardson, M.

' .Fernie has the miakins of one of the. best little lacrosse teams west of Winnipeg but the boys would gather go joy riding or walk in the park with their best girls than practice. Arrangement was made with Lethbrdge for home and home games which will have to be called off. We wonder who's the goat? why. the guy who wrote to Lethbridge. One of the most glaring frauds ever pulled off on the Fernie public was pulled off last Monday, July tlie 7th. About a fortnight ago the boards in Ferrtle were plastered with "big posters, Sangers Combined shows, pictured wild animals from a flea to an elephant and hundreds of trapeze fliers. Tho only darned thing brought was a coup}e or small tents, two white horses and a monkey. I would like to see a villgante committee of citizens formed nnd when anything like that is pulled off again, thoy should refuse to allow them to pitch their tents, and all the police disappear to give the committee a free hand. among industrial organizations as to their mode, of action to bring about the change. The capitalists are few, the working people many. It ls only a matter of knowing where the power lies. Socialists are charged with the force which will cause bloodshed. When the worker:; are unanimous and conscious of the disease that Inflicts society it will not be force that will causo the trouble, .it will be the blind resistance of the Capitalists. The Feudal -Lords were ignorant of the law that all mankind must obey, which is the law of economic development, The rising Capitalists were uneducated and did not understand the underlying eauses of human progres? any more than the Lords, hence the cause of the welter in blood. Karl ;Marx. says, Capitalism came into the world dripping from head to foot with,blood and dirt. Credit is due Capitalism tor the production of science. Working class knowledge is the result of the study of works pro-, diked by men of ability, laboring under Capitalism. Socialists have stud- died the laws of human progress from the cave and the tree dwellers up to the present time. They analyse human thought of the various epochs, study their institution, examine the cause of change and remedies. The disease of Capitalism is undertsood and the socialists have, the remedy. All tinkering with social reforms now are past and no mutter how some people dislike the pill it iwust bo swallowed.

Little, secretary of the Elk Valley & Natal Agricultural Association was in town this week accompanied by Vice President Alec. Causey. They were boosting for the big show to be held in Natal on Labor Day, an exhibition that will surpass all pre- vlous efforts and a choice program ot races and other sports. The greatest bicycle parade ever- seen in the Crow will be one of tbe features. At night there Ib to be a masquerade ball and prizes will be offered. Fernie merchants are adding a number of specials to the.priie list. The lists will be published In a few weeks. Before Labor Day the government bridge and ftmd will be complete and It is hoped to bo able to put on an extensive , Jitney service from Fornle. Possibly a apeelal train will be arranged for, Tho Michel and Natal folks are look- ing for hearty co-operation from Pernio.

If anyone wants to know a few real ones about Michel they can ring up the "Pep" editor, lie haa a few cards up bis sleeve to shoot R-i long. • ______ Now that we have a little money on hand let's talk about Pernios swimming pool.

Now the possibility pre- sents itself for certain individuals to satisfy their increased desires for pleasure by Inflicting pain and long fuJTerlng on their fellows. Human slavery though necessary for human progress produced the Gladatorlal Arena of the Ancient classical: period o f Greece and Rome.. Chosen victims of superior strength and daring were corralled to encounter fierce denizens of the forest in that fatal theatre of murder for the pleasure of the onlookers. Tho virtues of the early communistic system were drowned In blood and tears of the tolling millions of chattel slaves and freemen. The Patrician element elevated ou the backs of human automatons have come down to posterity riding on chariots built from the riches sqweewd from the sweat and blood of the active unit cells of the social organism. Innocence, Ignorance, and superstition lingered through the dark ages when victims were an easy prey to those ln authority. Untold suffering predominated when it was a question of furthering the animated desire for pleasure in certain rlnssoK. Man against man and class against class fought and gored the ox that decorated tho rich nwin'a tabic.
