PROSPERITY AND CHEAP LABOR Mine Workers Making Ready for a Greater War- Scabs Afraid pf Future—Money Tied Up. The business men of Rossland, who have not been as independent as they could have been without lose of self-respect, are becoming a trifle dissatisfied over the conditions that have existed in that camp since Bernard Macdonald took charge of the Le Roi as general manager, says the Nelson Tribune . of yesterday. Before his advent, the men who worked in Rossland's mines spent their earnings freely, and all kinds of business, from selling mining shares to peanuts, was good. Once Mr. Macdonald appeared the change comnioncqjjgrfSpinine workers knew the _n^''*y reputation, and they knew tbi^. there would be trouble sootjv *r later in Rossland. It came sooner than expected, and when it oame the Business men of Rossland showed that they were lacking in courage. They signed a round robin to the effect that if the men struck they need not look lo them for assistance; in other words, if the mine workers went on strike against Mr. Macdonald's methods they need not expect any favors in the way of credit from tho merchants who signed the round robin. The trouble between Macdonald and the men at that time was patched up; but the men had been taught a lesson. From that time on they were not free spenders; they saved their wages for a rainy day. Tho rainy day came last July, but it found the men with money. Those who had no interests in Rossland loft at once for other mining camps, and those who were compelled to remain were so fixed that they did not need to ask the merchants for favorB. The Missourians who have been imported to take the places of the union mine workers are not likely to be free spenders. They know that they are considered interlopers; that their room would be far preferable to thoir company. They will save thoir earnings so as to he fixed when their turn comes to take a walk, which iB sure to come. The stagnation and depression that exists in Rossland also exists in every town in the Boundary district, and even prevails to a limited oxtent in tho Slocan. The mine workers everywhere believo that if Macdonald succeeds in "scabbing" Rossland, that it will only be a question of time when the same game will be tried in other camps. The men aro preparing for the coming struggle hy saving their money. Were the Rossland mine workers paid the same wages as are paid in aU thc other camps in Kootenay and Yale, the chances are business men would not bo complaining of tho thrift of the mine workers. The business men of Rossland, by their servility to Bernard Macdonald, have caused the business men of Kootenay and Yale to lose the profits on hundreds of thousands of dollars of business. The real cause of thc business depression in this country is as outlined above. Well paid men not in danger of losing their jobs at one time made the mining towns and camps of Kootenay hum with prosperity. That prosperity will never return with cheap labor. MUST MACDONALD LEAVE? An Inspired Article in the Spokesman-Review. THE TIME IS NOW GETTING RIPE Good Reasons Given for the Move-Not Sacrificed to Union Demands-Resignation of Kadish-Who Will Be the New Manager. What -was clearly an inspired article appeared in the Spokesman- Review yesterday foreshadowing the retirement of Bernard Macdonald from the Le Roi company. The World reproduces the article in full. Here it is: It is highly probable that Bernard Macdonald will soon retire from the management of the Le Roi mine at Rossland. It is practically settled that Bela Kadish w ill retire from the management of the Le Roi smelter at Northport. These two developments are most important result of the recent visit which was made to Rossland by Henry Bratnober, who ranks among the largest shareholders in the Le Roi company. It is believed that the retirement of Messrs. Macdonald and Kadish will simplify the striko situation greatly. The chief antagonism of the striking miners and smeltermen is centered personull against Mr. Macdonald, with a less degree bestowed upon Mr. Kadish. It has been conceded by the strikers from the start that if Mr. Macdonald were to withdraw from the management of the mine the chances of settling the troubles would be doubled. Did not Wi-h tu Saerlflt'e Him. The mine company has realized this fact, but has been indisposed to retire Mr. Macdonald under the fire of opposition which has been centered against him. The heavy stockholders of the company, including Mr. Bratnober, have been anxious to the avoid moral effect which would result if a change in managers should take place while the strike is still unsettled. It has been considered good policy to keep him until work should be fairly started again in the mines. The company would then be in position to retire him, without appearing to sacrifice him at the demands. The movement to re-open the mines is fairly started. Between 400 and 500 men are reported to he working in tho Lo Roi group. They are practically all non-union men, and they are not satisfactory to the company, which would be glad lo get the old men back if they could be induced to come back. Tinia Oet. Ripe. The time is getting ripe therefore for the retirement of Mr. Macdonald. It is expected that on bis withdrawal from the company, the old men will come back to work. No promise will be made outright to them for an increase in wages to $3 a day for muckers. It was interesting to note, however, that in the recent interview given to the Spokesman-Review, Mr. Bratnober said that when the mine should be put on a paying basis, the company might increase the wage to 13. He added diplomatically that if such an advance were made, it would come from the company and not in response to the demands of the strikers. Some interesting stories are in circulation among mining men in regard to the relation between Mr. Bratnober and Mr. Macdonald. Immediately after the famouscompany meeting of the Le Roi, a few weeks ago, a message was sent to Mr. Macdonald from the London management of the company, in which Mr. Macdonald's attitude during the strike was heartily approved Mr. Macdonald promptly published the article in his paper, the Rossland Miner. It is now asserted that the meBsage was an artful device of the aBtute Mr. Bratnober, who wanted to keep Mr. Macdonald "jollied up" until the time should come to dispense with his services. No names have yet been made public regarding who should be the new manager of the mine. H..ILI1 Hml Go. It is generally accepted in mining circles that Bela Kadish. of the Northport smelter will retire in the near future from the management of that property. There is excellent reason to believe that he has already tendered his resignation. It probably has not been accepted, as there is some doubt as to who will be named to succeed him. Engineer Sontag, a Salt Lake smelterman, is a possible person. He has been considered for the place by Mr. Bratnober. He has a high reputation. Bank Itobbery In Iowa.

USE OF HYPNOTIC INFLUENCE Court Room Was Crowded—Prisoners Were Loudly Hissed and Hooted at. London, Oct. 18.—The bearing of the charges against Theodore and Laura Jackson (Ann Odelia Dis Debar) was continued today. The police court was crowded, a number of women being among those present, while the police found it necessary to clear the eidewalk of those who were anxious to obtain admission and hear the most loathsome testimony ever given publicity in a London court. The witness examined today was Daisy Adams, a young girl wearing a red Tam-O'Shanter cap and with her hair in curls hanging down her shoulders. She testified that she had been enticed to London under the promise of being taught music. Laura Jackson continued to conduct the case for the defence. She was clothed in a soiled bedraggled white silk toga. The woman evidently had a powerful influence over the Adams girl and leaned over the dock and gazed fixedly at the witness, evidently wilh the hope of intimidating her or of reestablishing her hypnotic influence, but the girl frustrated her effort. Mrs. Jackson demanded a chair and seating herself in a corner of the dock interrupted tbe witness with irrelevant questions and objections until the court ordered her to desist. The testimony which was of the vilest character, related to the indignity which the witness had suffered at the hands of the male prisoner while Bhe was a neophyte of the theocratic unity, under the promise that she would become a reincarnation of the Virgin Mary. The witness testified that Bhe was fully under the prisoner's influenc e at the time and that she believed his claims of divine parentage.

O. box 558, Rossland, B. C AN OBSTACLE GOING. The announcement of the "highly probable" early retirement of Bernard Macdonald from tho management of the Le Roi company as stated in the Spokesman-Re view yesterday will hardly cause much surprise in Rossland. That Superintendent Kadish of the Northport smelter and Assistant Manager Thompsou here Bhould follow the arch conspirator into retirement is merely the natural and logioal sequence of • the the unpleasant crisis through which mining affairs in Rossland particularity, and the Kootenays generally are now passing. Mr. Macdonald's departure does not necessarily mean the immediate settlement of all our troubles, but it does mean that the originator of all the unrest now existing in mining circles in British Columbia has been severely rebuked and his power for evil has been materially lessened. Driven from the Le Roi, it is mi- probable that the defeated union smasher would care to remain here as manager of the Whitaker Wright properties, and . in any event the chief obscacle to the restortation of peace and harmony in this camp has been brushed aside so far as the biggest mining property in British Columbia is concerned. The attack on Mr. Macdonald's avowed policy is well understood here. He it was, who having de liberately originated the insane plan of destroying all organized labor, tearfully besought the permission of the London directors to carry out his evil design, begging for a little time to demonstrate the wisdom of "our policy." lie has succeeded in setting the whole community by the ears and causing a bitter feeling here among all classes which will take months to settle, but he has failed in everything else. The Le Roi mine is to be run on the cold basis of dollars and cents with mere personal feeling entirely Eliminated. If Mr. Macdonald had succeeded in proving his use- fullness to the concern with which he has been connected, no doubt his services would have been retained. He has evidently not succeeded, and his failure will be followed by his dismissal. It would be strange indeed if union men all over the Kootenays did not hail Mr. Macdonald's departure with relief. The effect of his policy and its wide spread and far reaching evil results have been admirably described by the leading editorial in yesterday's Nelson Tribune which the World republishes today. Manager Macdonald'sretirement will go a very long way to mend the troubles existing here, which commenced with his advent amongst us and which but for him would never have arisen. If the morning paper can be made to cease its foolish policy of abuse and misrepresentation it is quite possible now that peace and harmony may once more reign in Rossland aud the Kootenays and prosperity ensue. Mr. Macdonald and his newspaper have so far prevented capital and labor from coming to an understanding with the removal of the one, and the bottling up of the other, peace is at least probable. THE TROUBLE-MAKER. known tho class of miners who have helped to make Rossland what it is today. They also have some idea now of the undesirable class of men which have been thrust upon the community of late. They will appreciate therefore at its true value the persistent abuse that is daily showered upon all and sundry by Mr. Macdonald's apology for a newspaper, the Rossland Miner. The chief of police was described "a poltroon". Hon. Smith Curtis' efforts to promote a settlement are derided and his motives impugned. Mayor Lalonde is cursed with bell,' book and candle, and it is only necessary that any citizen of Rossland should be a member of a labor organization to call down a storm of vindictive abuse upon his devoted head. Before Bernard Macdonald bought the Miner did all this happen? Is everyone who differs from "our policy" to be black' guarded in and out of season? Truly tbe fallen manager of the Le Roi is entitled to very little public sympathy while his newspaper is conducted on its present lines. So long as the Miner is in any way encouraged to prolong its senselesB polioy of vituperation and misrepresentation, just so long is the situation endangered and the hope of a speedy settlement de- f erred.

To the Citizens and Business Men of Rossland and Vicinity and to the General Public .■ The Le Roi mine manager has been circulating a report that the strike here is practically at an end and the mines are about to resume. This report has been taken up by their organ, the Morning Miner, and sent out over the country as a true report of the situation in Rossland. We have made a careful analysis of the situation here and believe that no impartial reader can see much reason for the joyful enthusiasm which Mr. Bernard Macdonald and his paper profess to feel. For three and one-half months the strike has been in force at Northport. The greatest claim Macdonald or Kadish have ever made during that time is that they have been able to operate two of the five furnaces at the smelter. It is only a question of simple arithmetic to see that if it takes three and one-half months to start two furnaces, it will take eight and three-fourths months before they can have the smelter in operation. Now, if it takes eight and three fourths months to secure the 500 men necessary to start the smelter it will take twice that many, or seventeen and one-half months, to secure 1000 men for the mines in Rossland. Or, at the end of twenty-six and one-half months, if Macdonald has the same success he claims to have had thus far at the smelter, he will be in a position to work the mines. No one can deny or dispute that Bernard Macdonald has left no stone unturned to secure men for the smelter at Northport. He has cast his drag net over the states of Minnesota, Colorado, California, Oregon, Missouri, Montana, or, practically, over the entire country west of the Mississippi river, and has been able to start but two of the five furnaces at the Northport smelter. This is the success he boasts- He claims the strike is at an end. It has only begun. So far we have taken as true his statements that he has two furnaces in operation at Northport. We wished to prove how futile are his statements by his own evidence. The real truth is he has never had two furnaces in successful operation at one time for 24 hours. They have produced no matte for shipment up till August 25. He claims to have shipped one carload on August 21. That it was the highest in value of any shipment made. The records of the railroad at Northport fail to show any trace of matte shipments on or about August 21, If any shipment was made it was via the Columbia river route and rests at the bottom ot the river. He also claims to be able to start the mines in Rossland. Apparently he does not realize there is an alien act in Canada, for of the 30 employes now at the mines all but two have been brought here in direct violation of this law and will be deported inside of two weeks. He has in eight weeks been able to secure but two scabs in Canada. Now, if the Canadian people should, to his surprise, enforce their laws, even if it does hurt the feelings of Bernard Macdonald, how long will it take to start the mines at the ratio of two every eight weeks? And as yet there is not a miner in the lot. We are not deceiving the miners of Rossland by false promises. We hope for an honorable settlement of the difficulties here. The sooner the better it will suit the union miners of Rossland. But if it is necessary to continue this fight to its final end the union miners and smeltermen will stand shoulder to shoulder for carrying on the fight. This war was forced on these unions. We entered the struggle full of a belief in the justice of our cause and confident of our ability to carry it successfully to an end. This belief has never been shaken for an instant, and certainly is not when we consider the almost unbroken line of successes which have thus far attended our efforts.

Your credit is good for New and Second-Hand-Goods on THE INSTALLMENT PLAN —AT— Glazans Furniture Store Owon Biglen, one of Rossland's old-time standard miners, has just got back from South Africa, where he went some four months ago, when Bcab times commenced here, Owen says he is glad to get back and he has no further use for South Africa for a working miner. Military rule is in force everywhere and the miners as well aB the mining companies are all having a hard time of it. AH that a miner can receive is five shillings per day, the balance of his wageB going to the widows and orphans of the dead soldiers. Tho miners who decided to stay and work for the five shillings per day dropped their results down f rom ten to two holes drilled per shift and tho mining companies suffer accordingly. Some forty miners who had served in the war and who started working on a five shilling basis got dissatisfied with their job were promptly deported by the authorities and (heir offer to return to work was not considered. When they got back to the coast many of the men re-enlisted for active Ber- v ice, there being nothing else for them to do. The coast cities are full of camps of refuge where the necessarily idle men and their families are maintained by the government, All business is at a standstill and aB many people keep coming out from England and America, the difficulties of the situation are increasing. So far as business iB concerned the country is in the same position as when the war first started and it will be a^long time before matters settle down. In lhe meantime it is no country for the working man to go to. Mr. Biglen was in Cape Colony only and did not go up country at all but met many miners and others who came back to the coast from every quarter of South Africa and they all told practically the samo story of their experience. There is a great deal of grumbling and general dissatisfaction over the military regulation in force and most of the miners out there are only to' glad to loave the country if they are able to.
