FIFTEEN HUNDRED MEN IN LINE Capital Addresses Made by James Wilks, Rupert Bulmer and R. B. Shed—A Good Program of Sports—-Grand Ball This Evening. The sixth annual picnic of the Rossland Miners' Union No. 38, Western Federation of Miners, held at the recreation grounds today proved a genuine success in every way. The hearty support given the Miners' Union by all the other labor organizations in the city and by non-union workers and citizens generally, was a marked and pleasing feature of the parade, and the festivities later on at the recreation grounds. ..To the striking miners, who are now appealing to the public for sympathy in their efforts to obtain justice and fair wages the unanimity, everywhere expressed today with tbe cause must have been particularly gratifying. At 10:80 tbis morning tin- parade moved .off from tlie Miners' Union hall 1000 strong, and of these fully 1000 men marched four deep behind the banner of the Rossland Miners' Union, making a splendid showing of the brawn and muscle of the order. Kirchner's Military band eighteen strung, preceded by the Standard bearer carrying lhe Union Jack- Chief of Police Frank Vaughan ami Marshall Kdward Hennigar,mounted on gaily decorated chargers, headed the procession. The News Boys' Union preceded by the union standard were the first to follow the band, and they carried a humorous picture showing the Rossland Miner on the bog, Which was greeted with laughter all down tbe avenue. Tin- rest of the unions followed in due order with the miners bringing up the rear of the procession. Marching in close order four and sometimes live deep the miners' procession stretched from the ball clear along Columbia avenue, nearly lip to Queen street corner. Among the numerous mottoa displayed in the ranks were the following: "Arbitration implies Peace, Progress, Prosperity." "It was a Hot day in Northport still the Furnace Froze." ''Labor Organizations an- the Bulwarks of Modern Society."—W. 10. Gladstone. "Eight Hours for Labor for Rest for Recreation." "The Public Sympathy is Solicited in Our Fight for Justice." "$8 Per Day." "The Morning Miner is the Mouthpiece of Organized Labor's Enemies." "W, P. of M. 60,000 Strong." "Northport and Rossland (with clasped hand) United We Stand Divided We Fall." "All Mine Owners Pay $3 in Nelson, Ymir, Slocan, East Kootenay, Boundary, Lardeau. Why Not in Rossland." The procession lineed up for the march as follows: Marshall Hennigar. Chief of police and staff Kirchner's Military Band. Newsboys union Granite and Stone Cutters and Drillers. (Workers on Federal Building.) Tailors union Painters union Brewerymens union. Barbers union Cooks and Waiters union Carpenters union Mechanics union Laborers union Pipers. Hotel keeperB and business men Miners union No. 38, W.F. of M. Tlie line of march was along Columbia avenue up St. Paul to Second avenue and out along Second avenue at the grounds. Tbe streets were lined with people who showed their symyathy wilh the men by frequent applause as the various unions passed along. Prom a small platform erected in front of the grand stand at tbe grounds the speakers of the day addressed the assembled throng. Both the stands were crowded and many ladies were present. The major portion of the audience gathered directly around theplat- i ferni. Rupert Bulmer, president of the 1 Rossland Miners' Union was the I first speaker. I Io made an earnest appeal to the members of the union to Bland firm (luring the present trying times, and urged them to do nothing which would forfeit tin- great measure of public sympathy which was already assured to thi'in- The .whole nf the president's Speech was an earnest plea on behalf of the justice of the unions' cause and a strongly expressed desire that union men should stand shoulder lo shoulder in the struggle now in progress. He warmly thanked all those who had shown their sympathy with the cause of unionism by turning out and joining in tbe parade today and assured them tbat the miners union duly appreciated such a demonstration at the present lime. Mr. Bulmer concluded with a plea, for moderation in the conduct of lhe strike and assured the audience that a victory was not as far of as some people might fancy. Tho speaker was greeted with very hearty applause throughout his address. 11. It. Shed, president of the North- port Mill and Smeltermens' Union was accorded a rousing reception- lie said that when Bela Kadish told tbe men to abandon their union or quit work every union man left his job promptly, (cheers;) and for eight weeks they had held their ground, only one man out of the lot deserting. "Today I can tell you, said Mr. Shed," that Kadish yesterday trieil to work No. 5 furnace und it froze up, Then No. 2 was tackled and il froze, and No. 4 shared tbe same fate, and today they aro back trying to work old No. 5 again with the same old gang and no better luck." He expressed the gratitude of thc Northport men for tho sympathy extended to them by the Rossland miners, and added that they hoped to win the light hands down, in the long run. James Wilks, vice president of ■the Western Federation received a ;hearty round of applause when he rose lo speak. He alluded lo the high ollice he had been elected to till and said the executive board of the Federation well understood the grave responsibilities they undertook at the present and they would not be found wanting in their duties. Mr. Wilks gave a short resume of the successful work already accomplished by tho federation in the Province, and promised an equally satisfactory settlement of the present troubles in time. Mr. Wilks read figures from the secretary of the Le Roi company's report showing the ore now in sight in that mine to be valued at $20,000,000, and asked the audience to say if these figures were correct how could the manager refuse the reasonable increase asked by the shovelers and carmen, when it was declared that 40 per cent, of the gross receipts of the miue were profits. He declared that the issue at stake was a clear one. Why was it that the Le Roi mines and the War Eagle-Centre Star mines were the only properties in British Columbia who refused to pay a living wage to their shovelers and carmen? This was theis'suebeingfought out and all side issues should be discarded. He urged the members, to trust the exeeutiue and not to be misled by spies and spotters who would do all they could to try and stir up strife in tbe union ranks. Mr. Wilks said that the union would conduct the light in such a way that when it was over there would he no had feeling between mine managers and lhe men. Throughout lhe address was replete with sound advice and cheering encouragement to the men and Ihe speaker's utterances throughout, which were frequently anil warmly applauded could not fail to have a most beneficial and steadying effect on all who heard him. The vice president concluded by assuring the audience thai when a fair and just settlement was arrived at he was satisfied Rossland would enjoy a long reign of peace ond prosper- ity.

The indications at the present time all poini to a protracted struggle between the Mine Owners' As sociation headed by Messrs. Bernard Macdonald, E, B, Kirby and others and Organized Labor in this western country. Messrs. Macdonald and Kirby have frankly declared War and no longer conceal their line of policy. Up to the present time the managers' line of attack has been a persistent effort to break up the union by a system of espionage and blacklisting whereby any one at all active or prominent in union matters was promptly refused work and efforts were constantly being made to stir up strife and dissen- tions in the ranks of the workers. At Northport the first really open declaration of war was made officially by Bela Kadish when lie declared: "We have determined to break up your union at all costs and unless you abandon the union we will not employ you." The famous ',black list" at North- port alleged to coutain the names of twenty-five "agitators" is in reality a list of the chief union workers and if they bad been "abandoned" and new officials chosen the new men would have been promptly black listed also. The union has taken the only step left open to them. They have been forced into their present policy by the persistent and deliberate acts of Bernard Macdonald and up. on the shoulders of the mine managers and the'newspapers they now control must rest the sole responsibility for whatever happens here in the future. No disinterested person now doubts what the real situation is, or for a moment credits Bernard Macdonald and his allies with really acting in good faith. The Woui.n shelled the manager from the woods in the first instance according to his own statement am' he and his chosen friends must light organized labor in the open without any public sympathy to aid them. NOTES AND COMMENTS. Asked to explain the cause of the Transvaal disturbance, a boy of ten wrote this :—"Kruger and Kaiiner- hiilism, is one. He is a man of bluil. Mr. Chamberling has wrote to him sayin' come out an lite or else give up tbe bind of the English you have took. He is a boardutch- man and a wicket heethin. Lord Kitchener has sent for his goary bind anil to liriim' back his scan- derlus bed dedor alive." Another boy's essay described Mr. (ihid- stonc as having "loved everybody. He loved publicans and einiieis and irishmen, ba wauled tho Irish to come to England and have home rool, but Mr. Chamberlain says np, no. so alars he got his bind up and killed Mr. Parnel. Mr. Glad stone died with great respect, and is burrid in Westminster with pieceful ashes." Compared with these versions of modern history, the following on Queen Elizabeth is faithful: "Queen Elizabeth was a vurgin queen, and she was never marrid, she was so fond of dresses that she was never seen without one on. she was beauteful and clever with a red bed and freckles."—Chambers' Journal. According to a special telegram to the Spokane Chronicle dated at RosBlandon Saturday, the Board of Trade of that town, in its efforts to bring about a settlement between the miners and the managers of tho I.e Roi and War Eagle mines, is acting on the assumption that the strike is illegal, because it was not edclared in accordance with the constitution of the Western Federation of Miners. The members of that Board of Trade had better con- line themselves to elucidating outpoint. The one point is: The right of mine workers to form and maintain unions. If they can convince managers McDonald and Kirby that mine workers have that right, the strike will end itself. But if the right to unite for self- protection is to be enjoyed only by the superior classes, such as those who become members of Boards of Trade and Mine Managers'Associ ations, then the inferior classes, like mine workers, will undoubtedly keep on striking whenever they think they have a grievance.—Nelson Tribune.

The Carpenters and Joiners union of this city have issued the following statement to the mine managers, dated 15 July: To mine operators: On November 23, 1900, the following resolutions were passed by Carpenters and Joiners union No. 1, Rossland: Be it resolved— Clause 1—That eight (8) hours shall constitute a day's work. Carried. Clause 2—That 13.60. per eight (8) hours shall be the minimum wage for the same. Carried. Clause 4—That for all overtime and Sunday work time and one halt, or 65 cents per hour, shall be the minimum scale. Carried. Clause 5—That the conditions contained in the preceding clauses of the resolution take effect on March 1, 1901. Carried. Clause 8—That the conditions contained in these resolutions will not apply to mine operators until such time as the union will think it advisable. Carried. At a special meeting of the Ross land Carpenters and Joiners union, held on July 11, the following resolution was carried unanimously. Beit Resolved, That we, the Carpenters and Joiners union No. ^Ross- laud, tender our sympathy and support to Rossland Miners' union No. 38, W. F. M., in their struggle for liberty, justice and the cause of unionism, und that we come out on strike in their behalf and for the adjustment of other grievances. Carried. You will note that the union haB had this matter under considera tion for the greater part of a year and now consider the time opportune that the resolutions should come into effect, and therefore demand thnt the conditions as contained in clauses 1, 2 and 4 will apply to mine operators as well as tp contractors. We learn that the scale of wages for carpenters and joiners prevalent in the Kootenay district, with the exception of Rossland, is $4 per day of nine (9) hours. We therefore consider our demands are reasonable and just, as it only brings our wage scale up to the established standard of the district. As to "other grievances," we demand the right for a walking delegate to enter your premises to solicit members among, the nonunion employes of the company while off duty on such premises. We object to your putting standing advertisements in papers (through employment agents) for carpenters when there are plenty of competent men seeking work. We object to you discriminating in favor of non-union men. Executive Board, Rossland Carpenters and Joiners union, No. 1, For Sale or to Lease—The Columhia Hoiel, Trail, B.C. Apply to G. A.

WILKI r Rossland, B. C, July 12th, 1901. To the Citizens and^Business Men of Rossland and Vicinity and to the General Public 1 The business and social interests of^a' fcommunity are so closely interwoven in a community like Rossland, that any dispute among the industrial elements forming the social structure, is often more disastrous to the business or non-combattant class around which the labor and capital elements revolve, than to the actual combattants themselves. Thus both labor and capital are morally obligated to strive to adjust their disputes, to protect the social structure of which they are separate parts. For this reason this union deems it well to make a careful statement of all the reasons leading us to precipitate this industrial strife at this time. Since the agreement between the big corportatioos of Rossland and Rossland Winers'Union in April, 1900, this city has apparently enjoyed industrial peace ; yet all whfo are conversant with the industrial affairs of Rossland for the past fifteen months know there has been a secret warfare waged against this Miners' Union, which has been nearly as destructive to the business interests of the community as an open struggle between the two industrial forces, and worse in that there is no apparent end to be seen. We have given long and careful consideration to this matter and have reached the conclusion that the foundation of the trouble rests on the fact that nearly one-half of the employees in the mines ot this community receive about 20 per cent less wages than the same class of labor in surrounding camps, many of which camps have a lower grade of ore and are less favorably situated than Rosjsland. We believe that it is to continue to enforce this unjust scale of wages that so many annoying practices have been introduced to undermine the prestige of this Miners' Union.of Rossland. First.—An annoying system of espionage and blacklisting by which many of our ablest members have been compelled to seek employment in other localities, althought of unquestioned ability in their trade. Second.—By revoking a time honored privilege of the Secretary being allowed to solicit members among the non-union employees of the companies who might be off duty on the premises of the companies, a privilege guaranteed us by the last half of Article 15 of the agreement of April, 1900; thus preventing us from refilling our ranks depleted by loss of members compelled to seek employment in other fields. Third.—By connection with bogus employment agencies seeking to flood the overcrowded labor market with cheap foreign labor. Finally.—By the largest corporation in this vicinity openly seeking and striving to crush a sister union at Northport, Wash. . 1 . We believe all these efforts are mainly to enforce this unjust scale of wages and to" prevent all efforts towards an increase. Therefore we have fully resolved that there can be no industrial peace in Rossland and vicinity until this wage question is finally and satis- factorialy settled. Then will this fair city enjoy the prosperity for which nature has so evidently intended it. For this result we ask the moral aid and support of the many diverse bodies making the general public of this city. Especially we ask your aid in maintaining order, without which we cannot succeed. There can be no permanent settlement but a just settlement, and to this end we will use all our power as an organization, and all the assistance of the Western Federation of Miners. We have right on our side and must surely win. EXECUTIVE BOARD ROSSLAND MINERS* UNION No. 38, W. F. M
