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.

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

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

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

ONE WHOLE DAY OF SPORT AT FERNIE

Games of AU Kinds
Canadian Pacific Railway interests
and tho Great Northern Railway interests that the time had arrived (to
quoto a prominent olllclal of a C. 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."

CHAPTER  XVI.
A Strang* Meeting.
SOMETIMES lolling upon Tantofs
back, sometimes roaming the jungle in solitude, Korak made -bis
way slowly toward tbe west and south.
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.

Thomas thinks that yachting will not
only revive but that it will be on a
larger scale, as regards small boats,
thaii ever before, While the British
have ever been a seafaring people,
they have heen made more so by the
demands of the enormous number-of
men to operate not only the ordinary
fighting ships but the prodigious
fleets of lesser craft which did scouting, patrolling, mine-laying and
similar jobs and inured their crews
to the sea in all sorts of weather.
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.    In all  English-

"Now run for it," he admonished
and turned to meet and hold those who
were pouring into the tent from the

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

One of the blacks guarding him
struck him across the mouth with the
haft of his spear, but none there knew

lifting his trunk above It, sniffed.

Late George W. 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.  "He replied that hb

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. In that
briskly democratic days.thero can
no longer exlit such Imperturbably
dignified servants as the butler wbo,
when tbe eldest son of aa art tall
over the front staircase Into the ball
Mow, and the youngvr son called
down to ask If he were hurt, replied
Inatantly. with sura knowledge ot
the devolution of titles, "KUted, my
lord." Kngland could hardly show
to-day th* snobbery tbat produced
llarcourt's capital aside, as he
listened to Hlr Kalnaid KaelgbUy

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

us on a more even footing, "~   *
If .Morgan and the other financiers
who hold all our bonds and in whose
grasp we are more firmly fixed than
ever were the Russians in the grip of
the Czars, would only be philanthropic enough to send us back all our
bonds marked "Paid" and just keep out
enough to enable themselves to live
comfortably the situation would be
considerable eased. 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.

It was, with exultant headings that
the daily press over Canada printed on
Monday of this week the news that
"War to the Death" had beon declared
by the American Federation of Labor
und the Dominion Trade3 and Labor
Congress oh the One Big Union. The
federation and the congress both h^ ve

"By their friends ye shall know them."
(William Varley, of Toronto, general
organizer of the American Federation
»r Labo. and R. A, Rlgg, a former member of the Manitoba legislature, have
taken charge of the campaign which is
to "rid Canada" of radical labor
thought. "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."
We Uke Varley and Rlsg for their

will soon come Into this far western

which owns and controls this paper,
has by a more than nlnety-per cent,
vote decided to discard the federations
championed by Varley and Rlgg. not
yet having been convinced that those
federations are of any particular benefit to others than the leading spirits
under whose control they are. It Is
not with any desire to break loose
from the workers of tho rest of Canada

Greetings:
In compliance with the request
of Canmore Local Union and endorsed by some other locals the District
Executive IBoard and Policy Comittee
have approved of a circular asking for
my recall, and as the District constitution allows me the privilege of submitting my defence to the charge I submit the following for your consideration:
The charge laid against me is that 1
am "opposed to the present form of
One Big Union," and to verity their
contention I feel that I had better
quote the contents or said circular
which reads as follows:
"Canmore, Alberta,

more Local Union, No. 1387, the following resolution jvas adopted' unanimously.

Whereas at a meeting held by this

ca]a In Sub-Disi-krict No. 4 and to
Secretary -Browiie.
(Signed)  N. D. 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.

BOSTON—Otarlsm has taken pps-

which Is calculated to give employ-

act, which Is ostons'.bly directed
agaluit bolshevism.
Indeed, tbe Massachusetts Senate
unanimously pattd thit bill when It
contained a clause Inflicting a

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

—One of the interesting events of
the many-sided program for Peace
Day will be the crowning of the Vic
tory Queen. 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. Nelson, M.
Schaegel and M. Woods.. Particulars
regarding the coronation ■ ceremonies
will be published in both local papers
next week. The competition will close
at half past fiveo'clock on Thursday,
July, 17th. Additional entries to this
contest will be received up to 6 o'clock
p. m. Monday on payment of 25 cents
to Secty W. J. Claridge.
Who says we have a white elephant in town? Why the old building
has come in useful at las-. We notice Beard of .Michel has got to quit
his office nor can they hold any meetings at the Michel Hotel again. Its
near as bad as saying: "You shan't
play in our back yard, unless you do
as I say." Tr.v the Soldiers and work-
mans club, Dick.
Some persoh or peruons tried their
unmost to create a split between the
Italian -Members of the union and the
rest of the members, but it didn't
work. If these poor rarrow minded
persons think they can get our Italian brothers to scab they have got a-
nother think coming.
J. Dufour ancl party went fishing
last Sunday up the Elk near Spar
wood and returned home with a basket full of speckled beauties. The
fishing in the Elk is getting better
every, day. "Dewey" is like the rest
of us—sometimes engine trouble and
then get off and push.
A seventeen pound bull trout was
landed at Olson last week is the report to hand. Is it aflsk story or just
bull? '
.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.

The Willard-Dempsey bout was as
one sided as the heels on a'bow-legged
hobo's shoes.
—I.. F. 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

to bo able to put on an extensive

apeelal train will be arranged for,
Tho Michel and Natal folks are look-

Michel's explanation—The reason
we did not come to Fernie on July 1
was that iMichel offered more money
to the football boys and they stayed
home.
That 1e very fine but Pernio fans
have their own ideas and everybody
has a right to think. 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. Talk is cheap, anyhow,
and it might start something Who
will be the flrst to ahum?
Tho "Pep" editor gave his complimentary ticket to the circus away
and went flshlng. He caught two—
not suckers either.
•/ftiother big football gumc coming
on July 16th. Michel will play the
teamsters here. The teamsters will
have a strong line up and this should
provo one or the best of the season.
II. Ilrown. of Michel, la the bright
star or baseball in Michel, If not on

Please, Mr. Michel, won't you como
to Pernie and play us another real
good game of football? That last was
a humdinger. We'll split the gate

Old Timers Lose And Win
The base ball game last Friday
evening, between the Old Timers and
the Hula, Hulas was a very tame affair, the Old boys having to play a
pick-up nine against the boys who
defeated them easily.
The .Wednesday game was much
more spirited^ and the Old -Boys went
Into the game with a good line-up and
won 15 to 10 against the P.AA.C.
The line up was as follows:
—Gld^Pimers—Palmerr4rdi-Scett7-&fr

3rd; A. Dunlap, I.f.; Doufour, p.
Hod McLeod made his first play behind the bat and did good work.
•Winters umpired the game.
The Old Timers went to bat but
did not tally in the first.   The boys
got over thre runs.
In the second nobody got past lirst
baise, (
In the third the Old Timers brought
in two runs and the boys got white-
washed again.
in the fourth nobody got a score.

fifth and T. Wilson, Dudley and V.
Colton scored for thc boys,
In the sixth McLaren scored for the
Old Timers but the hoys fallod to
count. •
In the t-evtuth, Palmer and Scott
again scored, but the boys could not
get past first base. In the eighth,
Palmer, Scott, Spence snd Todhunter
crossrd the home plate in radid succession. This rallied the boys und
WHhou and Dudley added two runs
to their side of the tally.
tn the ninth tbe Old Timer* wuit to

iMan is a creature of desires and
ever since his origin his chief desires
have been for pleasure and to avoid
pain. During the early part of his
development great pleasure was derived from mutual assistance. The concern of one was the concern of nil.

sents itself for certain individuals to
satisfy their increased desires for
pleasure by Inflicting pain and long

HINDU WORKERS ORGANIZE
NEW YORK—An Interesting sign ot
the' times ts the faot that the Hindu
workers in this country have recently
organised and are making strenuous
efforts to bring together in the India
Workors' Union of America the
1,000 Hindu hand and brain laborers
in this country. The headquarters
ot Uie new organisation Is at Broadway, New York.
The Hindus are organising not only
for their own protection. They desire
to keep themselves Informed on
world labor conditions. Thoy further
wish to acquaint their American fellow workera witb labor conditiona in
India. An information bureau will
therefore form an Integral pan of th*

are hoping that th* knowledge of Ute
