SAME OLD STORY
Situation at Northport Remains Unchanged.
MEN UNITED IN REFUSING OFFER
The Manager's Famous "May" Notice—Discrimination Against
Union Men Maintained.
Tlie situation at Northport remains practically unchanged today. The manager's statement
that former employes •'may" return to work has had no effect.
Mr. B. R. Shed, the president of
the Mill and Smeltermen's Union
sends the following statement:
On Saturday—we of the Mill and
Smeltermen's Union, thought we
had found the long lost bonanza,
viz, work: Manager Kadish posted
the following notice on sundry telephone and telegraph posts:
"Former employes and others
wishing work may apply at the
oflice."
Bela Kadish, Manager.
On first reading this statement
everyone was delighted, and some
thought pf reporting at the office.
But on sober, second thought all
agreed to go and talk it over among
ourselves at the hull. The word
''may" could he read in different
ways, and the oflice could read it,
so as to leave out of employment,
us many men as they intended to.
This brought us face to face with
Manager Kadish's proposition of
about two weeks ago. That all the
old hands could go to work, provided they abandoned the union.
There was nothing new about the
notice, nothing looking to a settlement of thc charge of unjust discrimination against the union.
If you want to find a man and do
business with him, or a large body
of men who have an ollice you do
not usually post up notices on a
telephone pole, but address it and
deliver it to the exact/ address,
which will find that party or the
officers of such body. So the men
of the union here very reluctantly
came to the conclusion, that it was
nothing more than a fine delicate
drawing in of the net, to break up
the union.
To put themselves right with the
public, it was thought well to cull
a muss meeting und to beur the
opinions of men outside the union.
At the meeting ninny suid their
say, but all expressed tbe opinion
lhat the notiee was too indefinite
und announced nothing except a
further attempt to break up the
union. This put matters no forwarder,
The men are locked out because
they have dared to use the liberty
belonging to every American. As
well might the management deny
the rigbt to any of its wage earners
in be Masons or Odd Fellows &c,
Sic, us niittoforniuunion,uii(l right
lien- it may be stated, thnt Mr.
Kadish has not always been against
I lie union, but in favor of if, thut
be promised us if wu would add a
library to our other efforts, he would
double that effort and go us one
better.
ln uu interview yesterduy, I
L. Suvuge wus informed by Mr.
Kadish, "that he hud certain union
men in his mind, thut he would
not employ," on- being pressed for
names he refused, but stated, "he
kept them in his list."
Tbe union men are anxious to
goto work; willing to oblige the
company they have worked for,
some for three years and more.      ■
Will the company lay down
some broud   ruling principle  that
both sides can work to, und be governed by? ■ Every effort of the boys
to reach what is just, by their own
committees, by independent citizens and by the mayor of North-
port have all ended in failure, and
now all there iB in sight, is a notice on u telephone pole, thut "they
may report ut the office." This is
the situation at this writing.
We ure trying to do right as we
see it, and live up to principles
thut are elevating und not degrading. One thing we need always,
we have hud it, we hope we have it,
und we hope we muy ulwuys keep
it, und thut is public opinion on
our side. With this ulwuys with
us, we should achieve the success,
thut our moderate und modest
views call for. The right to join
for mutual improvement and benefit, and to be allowed to work.

C.P.R. TRACKMEN
The Men Went Out on a
Strike Today
FIVE   THOUSAND   EMPLOYEES
Strikers Say They  Are Well  Organized and Sure to Win—
What Company Says
The C. P. R. Trackmen struck
this morning in the east. Yesterday a special brought William
Downie of Nelson, General Superintendent of the Kootenays here to
arrange locul matters. Mr Downie
left for the Boundary in Hie afternoon.
It is not known, how far the strike
will affect tho big railway in this
Province, but it is understood that
the men will go out here today.
No news of the strike is given* otu
by the 0. P. R. Telegraph Company, but a special to the Tribune
from Toronto yesterday states thut
the strike of the C. P. R. truckmen
will begin tomorrow (.Monday)
morning ut ti o'clock, and both
sides express themselves as confident of success. Mr Wilson, president of the Brotherhood of Railway
Truckmen, says that of the 5000
men emyloy'ed in that department
fully 95 per cent are members of
the association; that these are well .
organized und thut they are sure to
win. On the other hand, general
manager of the railway, Mr Mac-
Nicoll, says that he doeB not believe such .&. large percentage, bo-
long to the order„ and thut in any . .
caso the company is assured- of
plenty of workmen to operate the
line as usual.
Company's Statement.
Mr Marpole has issued a circular
in the matter which concludes—
"While we know that many of the
employees on Maintenance of Way
ure satisfied with (heir pay and
conditions, und are 'not'represented
by this Committee (having been so
advised by tbem), we feel (but the
others, whom the Committee claim
lo represent, should know the true
state of affairs, and we sincerely
hope thut neither lhe Committee
nor any largo number of our employees who have been in the com-
puny's service for years, and in
whose welfare the Company und its
officers are sincerely interested, will
be guided by reckless and hasty
advice."

NORTHPORT IN LONDON.
The Britiah America Corporation
.shareholders attempted to go into
voluntary liquidation but on June
3rd an application before the English courts resulted in an order being granted for compulsory liquidation and tlie appointment of an
official receiver.
The meetings have been very
stormy and all sorts of accusations
have been made against Whitaker
Wright and his directors. Tlie
London papers make lengthy comments on the situation, but the
most interesting item is the reference to the trouble at Northport
which we are gravely told in big
headlines, is "the result of a cut in
wages." Another statement refers
to a couple of syndicates who are
hammering Le Roi stock for the
purpose of buying it ih. We give
an extract from the London Financial Times, of May 30th:
"It is concluded that thatconcern
(the B. A. C.,) will not be able to
evade its liabilities, but, in order lo
meet them will have to sell Rosslands or Kootenays or whatever
other assets it may posssess.
Hence the continued decline in
these descriptions. L-p Rois have
also kept on the down grade under
independent conditions."
"There appears to be ground for
the statement that it is intended to
shut the mine down, under the pretence of a labor trouble, although
nothing of that nature is stated to
have occurred beyond a reduction
of wages at the Northport smelter,
Which lias naturally caused some
dissatisfaction among the men employed there. There appears to be
no doubt that the lode has become
very wide and rich at depth, and
that two parties are eager to buy
the shares, naturally preferring to
do so at a low price if possible.
The position bears considerable
resemblance to that of the Lake
view, when phenomenally rich orO
wasdiscovered atthe300-foot level."
"Intrigue and counter intrigue
apppear to be iu full swing, and it
is probable that many fluctuations
in the value of the shares will ensue. Those who keep their shares
may hope to benefit considerably in
the long run, though they must be
prepared for the contingency of a
severe relapse meanwhilo."
A MILD BLUFF.
No one will be deceived by Manager Macdonald's notice to the
smeltermen at Northport. Superintendent KadLih announced to the
men at the start that the management had determined to break up
the union and that they would lure-employed only on condition that
they abandon the union. This
condition is in force at Northport
today. Mr. Macdonald has never
denied it for a moment, hut is trying to make tlie public believe that
the men can go to work if they
wish to and that if they stay away,
the fault is theirs.
The move is simply ■ retreat
"into the woods" out of which the
WORLD shelled the management
last week according to Mr. Macdonald's own statement.
The men will not abandon the
union and no reasonable man would
ask them to do so. Como out in
the open Mister Manager and at
least fight fair.
A GOOD EXAMPLE.
Awaiting the outcome of our dealings with the trust stands socialism,
says Charles J. Bullock in tlie June
Atlantic. The "billion dollar trust"
seems to furnish a practical de*
monstration of the possibility of
organising the largest industries
upon a national scale, and the
socialist applauds the efforts of Mr.
Morgan and his associates. The
concentration of all the railroals
into a few groups, controlled by a
single set of interests, is a brilliant
triumph for the policy of centralization; and for this, too, Mr. Morgan has the gratitude of every
socialist. The popular discontent
caused by the monopolization of
one necessary of life after another
prepares the soil perfectly for the
sowing of sooialistic seed, and it is
a significant fact that American
socialism has first become an appreciable force in this era of trusts
and combinations.
If thinking men ever become
convinced that in manufacturing
and other industries competition is
impossible and monopoly inevitable, only two possible alternatives
will then present themselves, public
or private monopoly; and those
who are now occupjed with the formation or justification of trusts
will be chiefly responsible in case
the balance finally swings in the
direction of socialism.

All Rossland will remember
Milward Crooke. In May, 1899,
he wub one of tho five men in the
runaway skip on the War Eagle
hoist. His four companions were
killed but Crooke eBoaped without
a scratch only to die* in Africa two
years later, after going through the
Boer campaign with great credit to
himself.
Crooke was one of Rossland's
" Boldiers three" who went out to
South Africa with the first contin-
tingent, and his death will be regretted here by many. A sketch
of deceased officer which appeared
in the Eastern peaper says :
" Lieulenont Milward Crooke,
of the Royal Warwickshire Regiment, who died of fever at Cape
Coast Castle, on May 10th, was a
young Irishman, the son of the late
Rev. Milward Crooke. When the
South African war broke out, Mr.
Crooke was in Canada, and enlisted in the Canadian Regiment, serving as a private in it. He was in
twelve battles and over twenty engagements, and was in one of the
companies that stormed Cronje's
laager at Paardeberg, weere he volunteered to carry ammunition, and
for this action was mentioned in
the despatches by Lord Roberts.
He was gazetted Second Lieutenant in the Royal Warwickshire
Regiment in October, 1900, and
came home to England to join,"but
being transferred to the 2nd Central
African Regiment, he left for the
West Coast in February. Mr.
Crooke was one of a family of soldiers. His father was chaplain to
the lorces, anu served through the
Crimean War with distinction, and
received two medals and clasps.
His brother, Lieut. Douglas Crooke,
of the Suffolk Regiment, fell lighting in of the reargurd actions in the
Frontier War of 1887. His four
uncles—Major-Gen. Simpson Hack-
ett, Col. Bernard Hackett, V. C. ;
Col. Robert Hackett, (who was
severely wounded, losing the sight
of both eyes at the battle of Uluudi
in the Zulu War,) and Col. Charles
Hackett, who alone survives—all
had distinguished military careers.

There was a large turn out of
members of the Miners' Union yesterday at the joint funeral of the
late Joseph Gill, who was killed in
the Le Roi shaft, and the late
Samuel Waters, who died at the
hospital of pneumonia.
At 2.30 the remains of Joseph
(iill were conveyed to Miners'
Union Hall, where the body of
Samuel Waters had previously been
taken. The hall, which was tastefully and appropriately decorated
through tho kind services of Mrs.
James and Mrs Benny, was crowded to the doors and many were unable to obtain admission..
On the platform were tho joint
choirs of the Methodist and Baptist
Churches, and Rev. W. T. Stack-
house and Rev. A. M. Sanford.
Both gentlemen made feeling and
appropriate addresses and the
choirs rendered the funeral selec-
lions admirably.
Shortly after three o'clock the
funeral procession started from the
hall marshalled by Frank E. Wood-
side, secretary of the Miners' Union
and headed by Professor Kerchin-
er's Star Comet band.
The pall bearers for Joseph Gill
were : Donald McGillvray, Angus
McDonald, Angus Cameron, John
Dorkin, Ernest Moore, H. Smith.
And for Samuel Waters : Dan. D.
McDonald, John McDonald, Richard Hooper, Martin Dalley,. Neil
McPhee, Fritz Harriman.
Besides the members of the Miners Union, who numbered about
400, a large number of citizens
joined the funeral and lined the
avenue watching the procession
wend its way to the Columbia
Cemetery where the interment took
place.
