This morning the Nelson Tribune has this to say on the situation:
When on his way back to San
Francisco, Henry Bratnober waB
interviewed in Spokane by the
Spokesman-Review. Among other
statements made by Mr. Bratnober,
he stated the Le Roi company had
no objections to the men belonging
to the union. "We only ask that
they shall not agitate on the company's ground. If we can get a
good class of miners and muckers
in the Le Roi, it is possible after
a time the company would pay $3
a day for muckers. But that wise
in wages, if it should be made,
would come from the company of
its own accord, and would not
come in acquiescence to the demands of the union." If the
words quoted mean anything, (hey
mean tbat the Le Roi company is
willing to take back Rs old men
and pay them the standard scale. made a dumping gaound  for  the

Editor Ivbsino Wokld.
Sir:-r-P_ease allow m« space in
your valuable paper for a few remarks regarding the situation of
affairs in our city since the present labor troubles have been thrust
upon us by a corporated company,
managed by Bernard Macdonald.
It has been said, whether truthfully or otherwise, that thiB deplorable state of affairs has been
brought about by the agitators of
the miners' union of this city. Let
us see.
It is a well known and an undisputed fact, that previous to the
strike declared by the union here,
it was almost impossible for a
member of the union to be a permanent resident of this city or
make a home for himself and famj
ily. He knew not at what moment he might be discriminated
against by the management, and
have to seek employment elsewhere, disposing of his home and
property at a saorifioe, to quench
ths malice of his employer.
In a word, Mr. Macdonald has
endeavored to make transients of
the laboring class of people who
sought a home in Rossland, discharging and hiring them to suit
bjr*} own purpose. In the name of
common sense let me ask, of what
use to a thriving, industrious, well
governed oity are transient labor-
era? There are a goodly number
of them here now, herded and
guarded by those who make a
business of it, and they have proved themselves to be a law breaking class of people. Rossland, our
once  flourishing  city,  has  been
of wages of the country, provided
the men will take it as a voluntary
raise made by the company. Tlie
men are. probably not aching to
split hairs over fine points with the
Le Roi management, and would be
willing to go to -work at any time
if guaranteed that they would be
paid the wages paid in other camps
in the country. Mr. Bratnober
also said that the company had no
more objection to the men belonging to a "union than a. church or a
secret society." Mr. Bratnober's
statements, taken in Wiwta
with the statement WAfa rV. *tV
Governor Mackintosh, who arrived
in Rossland yesterday after having
met Mr. Bratnober in Spokane, that
he would start work on the Giant
mine at once, and that he would
pay the men the standard wages
prevailing in other camps, would
indicate that a settlement is likely
to be made at Rossland at no distant day. Of course, it is no easy
matter for Bernard Macdonald to
climb down; but then Bernard
should be willing to eat a little
crow, seeing that he will still be
looked up to as a tin god by E.
Blunderbuss Kirby and the other
members of the Mine Owners Association.—Nelson Miner.

yery worst class of citizens found
in the border towns and cities of
the United States. Inalmost every
instance, these men have been
shipped in here by this company,
to. take the place of honest, law-
abiding Canadian citizens. Does
the manager ever stop for an instant, to consider what harm he is
d.ojng the city and citizens of Rossland, or is his malice so great
against organized labor that it
overpowers the common sense supposed to be possessed by an individual of his stamp? These off-
NKUringg who are shipped in here,
«»ld not buy a setting hen off her
nest when they come. When they
go they take the money earned on
Canadian soil, and which should
be circulated in Canada, back to
the United States, where they gamble and dissipate until it is all
blown, a fitting end for money
earned under such base circumstances.
Is it any wonder then Mr. Editor, that the miners' union and
citizens in general would object to
•uch a policy and state of affairs?
Are they to stand idly by, and see
law, order and progress thwarted
by Bernard Macdonald and bis
minions. The miners' union is
doing what every good Canadian
citizen should do, stand shoulder
to shoulder for the welfare of his
country, his fellow-citizen and his
home.
The worthy judge who sa upon
the Beamish case, made objection
to the large crowd of people walking on the streets and around the
C. P. R. depot when he arrived in
our city. Does that learned personage imagine that he, and our
true blue chief ean prevent peaceable citizens from walking on the
King's highway, or rather is he
desirous along with Barney's other
minions of preventing the union
men and citizens from seeking out
the dead-brokes who are shipped
into Rossland directly against the
alien labor law?
It is apparent in the eyes of the
public  that  something  must   be

As to wages for muckers, I do not

GUN SCABS.
It is difficult to imagine anyone
in this community becoming"intensely enthusiastic over the prospect of scab supremacy in Rossland.
The best of the class are poor
substitutes for the standard miners
we are used to meet and deal with.
Naturally the motley crowd which
the Le Roi management has gathered together for the purpose of
making a show to impress the
union men, contains some pretty
tough characters, and the same
may be said of the late arrivals at
the Northport smelter.
We have already experienced
some of the joys the class of men
referred to bring with them, and
there is one thing at least the
authorities can attend to before an
"accident" happens resulting in
serious injury or loss of life.
Wherever the law has been fairly
enforced in Canada the practice of
gun-carrying has always been
severely punished. Even in communities where business isrunning
along in the ordinary course, and
when no excitement prevails, such
for instance, as usually accompanies an industrial dispute, it has
been the common practice all over
the Dominion to so administer the
law as to practically prevent anyone
except a police officer from carrying loaded weapons. But if the
rule has been enforced during the
piping times of peace so universally
in Canada what shall we say about
the manner of its enforcement under existing circumstances in Rossland? If the riff raff on the hill
parade in the saloons and on the
streets of the city with revolvers
will not the ordinary Rossland
miner think it necessary to meet
his "friend" on even terms? Then
all that is wanted to complete the
details will be a little whisky, a
few hot words and the doctors, the
undertakers and the law will attend to the balance. Everybody
will be virtuously indignant of
course, and there will be columns
of print explaining how it all
happened. It would be wiser,
would it not, to Btop tho fool business now. Prevention is usually
better than cure, and the widow
and the orphan won't exist and the
shootng won't take place if the
authorities simply do their duty.
Will they do it?
NOTES AND COMMENTS.
The motto of Dunsmuirand Martin should be: "Divided we stand;
united we fall."—The Silvertonian.
It is not right to think that
'•Willie" is fibbing, when hedoesn't
smile. Dr. Sinclair says smiling
is bad for him.
If one thousand men are required
to work the Rossland mines, would
they not necessarily have to bring
the State of Missouri to Rossland.
Would it not bo easier to send Rossland down to Missouri?
Dunlop, tbe "architect," of the
new school house has resigned hiB
position, and gone "scabbing on
the Hill." To whose tender mercies will the constrution of the
building now be handed over.
Won't Trustee McCraney tako it
up?
A close inspection of papers
published outside of Rossland fail
to discover nny mention of thc gun
scab incident here early on Sunday
morning. If the Associated Press
is to fairly represent both sides
of the strike a dispatch should
have been sent out in the matter.
Had a couple of union men been
arrested and found with loaded
guns in their position the wires
would have carried the news with
great promptness. Suppression
of factB is on a par with distortion
and absolutety untruthful statements.
Criticism of a magistrate's course
of action and a strong protestagainst
it is not necessarily abuse. Magistrates and judgeB often make
mistakes and some times make
very bad ones. There is nothing
jn the penal code of Canada or in
the ethics of good taste which prevents or should prevent plain
speaking in such matters. Would
any one defend the decission in the
Costello-Cronyn case for instance
and say it was "abuse" to protest
very strongly against the final
finding in that matter.
Director Frecheville of the Le
Roi Mining company.who came all
the way from London, England, to
investigate the affairs of the com
pauy, says the men on strike at
Northport and Rossland are obsti
nate and nnreasonable, and that
there will be no change in hiB
company's attitude towards them.
The men at Northport are obstinate
in declining to surrender a right,
that iB, the right to belong to a
labor union. The men at Ross^
land are unreasonable because
they want to be paid for their
work tbe same wages that are paid
in all other mining camps in the
interior of British Columbia
Director Frecheville may be misquoted, but the chances are he is
not. He, like all other old country
representatives of capital, has
nothing in common with the peo
pie of Canada. He, no doubt,
would rather see our mines worked
by Chinese and Japanese than by
white men, if the employment of
the Orientals would result in increased dividends to the old country
holders of the Le Roi shares. Canadians need expect little from men
li.e Frecheville. Instead, they
should give men like Frecheville
to understand that this country is
run for the benefit of the people
who live in it, and not solely for
the benefit of absentees.—Nelson
Tribune.

THE:
Beal Situation.
Rossland, B. C, Sept. 5th, 1901.
To the Citizens and Business Men of Rossland and Vicinity and to the General Public t
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 thc 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 the 500 men necessary to start the smelter
it will take twice that many, or seventeen and one-half months, to secure iooo 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
Northpqrt. 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 11. That it was the highest in value ai 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 of 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 wltt 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.

BOUNDARY
WILL HELP
How the Rossland Strike
Is Regarded to Phoenix
and Greenwood.
Greenwood, Oct. 8.—(Special.)
Local labor unions, especially the'
miners', have followed with interest
the fight between the Ros_land
Miners' union aud its sister organization,the Smelter union at North-
port, Wash., and the Le Roi company. Everyone feels that it is
now a fight to the bitter end. So
far as the two Miners' unions in
the Boundary, numbering a combined membership of over 1000,
are concerned, they are ready and
willing, when the call comes from
headquarters to contribute substantial aid to the cause of their
brothers in Rossland. Both the
Phoenix and the local organization
are in financially good shape, and
there is not a man in the big mines
that is not in the ranks. Speaking of the situation ao far as it
affects the Boundary, Mike Kane,
secretary of Greenwood Miners'
union No. 22, said: "The struggle
going on in Rossland promises to
last for some time. Should the Le
Roi ultimately win, there is a possibility of the mine owners in the
Boundary district attempting to
reduce the present scale of wages.
Al present I am glad to say there
is the utmost harmony between
the wage earner and his employer,
and I see no reason why this
should not continue.
"Regarding the Rossland strike
our utmost sympathy is with the
men, and this is not all. Up till
now, the officers of the Western
Federation of Miners have made no
call for financial assistance. That
call may be made any day, and I
can assure you when it comes it
will be met gladly and promptly,
for there is not a man belonging to
either the Phoenix or local union
who will not willingly and ungrudgingly donate bis proportion.
The two unions are in splendid
shape, ahd will do all they can to
maintain and uphold what we consider a fair and proper wage for
services rendered."

PROBABLY
THE LAST
real agitators? To begin with I
would name Bernard Macdonald
as the greatest one. We can easily see through the "Horn scheme"
as an agitation, and a similar incident following it very closely
gave it dead away. The next on
the list waB the shipping in of alien
labor to cause agitation and trouble between them and the union
men. Following this the Gibson
and Walsh fracas, but no doubt
Gibson mistook his man. Next
comes our noble chief of police,
handcuffing a quiet, inoffensive
citizen after sentence had been
passed on him, and making a public exhibition of him by marching
him down the principal' street in
our city in full view of his many
warm friends. If this was not
calculated to create a serious dis
turbance and agitation, it would
not have fallen short of it in any
other city in the land.
In conclusion, Mr. Editor,
would say that the miners' union
has behaved itself in a fair and
principled manner and justly depend on the support of all thorough
business men and citizens of Rossland and community, leaving unbiased and principled men to judge
which is right and who are the real
agitators.
