D.P.A., Nelson, tf Thanks to the very full accounts which have appeared in the English paper of the Le Roi meeting in London any one in Rossland or the Kootenay country who honestly desires to understand what is coming,, can at least obtain a very fair idea. Tbe statement made by the chairman at the shareholders meeting, the speech made by Mr. Frecheville himself, all of which have appeared in the col urns of the World, as well as what has followed since, are so clear that no man of common sense can fail to grasp the real situation. The only course possible for (he three Le Roi directors to follow has been adopted. Manager Macdonald and his uniou smashing policy will Undoubtedly be upheld —30 long as be is manager. As the Times puts it "there will be no surrender of the unions—until after the investigation." How could there be? While, very naturally the union men and almost everyone in Rossland is regarding the labor aspect of the Le Roi situation, it must be abundantly clear lo every thinking man, that the labor question is only one of the many matters, Mr. Frecheville is eomming hero to thoroughly investigate. It is most unlikely that the labor THE EVIDENCE An Open Letter to the Edi-; tor of the Miner. AFFIDAVITS NOT NECESSARY ;ome Staitemenrs Recalled by a Correspondent - The Editor's Fourth of July Article. undoubtedly is, would necessitate a 12,000 mile trip by a man of Preoheville's standing if that was all there was lo be investigated. As between tbe new directors aud the old manager the union men arc interested, outside of their own fight just to this extent, that if Mr. Macdonald remains in charge no mailer what settlement is arrived at finally there is sure to bo more or less friction. The men made ono agreement with him and one of their grievances at the pres- eut time is that he did not act up lo what he promised and agreed to. Further than this, bis open and avowed policy has been tobreak up unionism here, no mailer at what cost, and naturally his retirement will be a source of satisfaction to the men. Even Mr. Macdonald's paper will nol now deny lhal. a searching investigation is coining, although it has denied il lime and again Not one of the old bands has gone back to work. The Geiser scheme is already doomed. Th War Eagle and Centre Slar mines have not attempted any such foolish move as Manager Macdonald is frantically trying in order lo make a showing. It will be lime enough after Mr. Frecheville has completed bis work nnd made bis report lo say .what Ihe World thinks of lhe outlook for the union issue at slake here, important as it men.

Charles Abraham Gregg has had quite a sharp attack of what the old ladies call "windy spazzums," and we are anxious, as they are dangerous to persons tho least bit inclined to embonpoint. We thought we were getting used to bis frantic periodic outbreaks, but this time be has gone to the length of making an affidavit, and we feel hurt at his want of faith in us. There was no'need for it for what he says always goes. In fact next to Baron Munchausen and Tom Popper, there is no one whom we respect more, or believe more implicitly. And then lo make the "city" editor take an affidavit tool Really too bad! And tho deputy assistant "circulation" editor tells me that be was to have made a little affidavit too, but he was late in getting back from distributing his papers. Playing marbles, I suppose. Sad dogH these editors! Forgetful too, sometimes. For instance they forgot to.make the city official who, it is alleged, heard lhe fateful words take his affi. Bui perhaps it would bring him into loo much prominence. In which case, the said official will know bow to avoid these things in future. Don't let us have any more affidavits anyhow. Whatever Charles Abraham tells us we will believe. Only some times we have to be careful, because Charles Abraham is just a trifle gullible himself, and lender-hearted withal. Vou remember bow solicitous be was about the fate of his three fellow-employes whom he in his simplicity, believed were "fired" from Ihe Hill. I refer lo tbe Jew bartender, the: booster, and tbe hobo. He need not have worried. They wen- nol fired at all. God never made a man so lazy or useless thai he couldn't hold down his position as a "scab" at this stage of lhe game. They came down town because they knew most of lhe mining work was being done in Ihe I.e Koi printing office, and it was quite natural Ihey should look for a job as near lhe international and Clifton as possible. And then, in bis famous "game is up" article. Charles Abraham says "men are coming in on every train." There may he Bnme truth in that. I have only met one train lately, and it had a man on board, hound for the Lfl Roi mine. I think his name was Bratnober, or something like lhat, and if it is correct thal"all capable men are given employment," I guess he'll find a job cleaning up around, or something, lie looked a capable man, but then appearances an- deceptive. Why, even the astute businesslike Mr. Geiser sometimes mistakes Jew bartenders and hoboes for miners. Apropos of minors, Charles Abraham goes on lo Bay.—"It goes without saying thai the miners who are at work are skilled men in every sense." That, I knowjlo lie irue, for Mr. Geiser told me, in court, the other day that they were three ■■i-(\ lirst class men.

Commenting on the complete defeat of Whitaker Wright at the Le Roi meeting, The London Financial Times says editorially: "Mr. Frecherville will report as to the expediency or otherwise of Mr. Macdonald continuing to be general manager, besides giving his views as to the propriety of that official's action in resisting the labor party, as well as other matters. It was, at any rate made clear that there would be no surrender to the strikers until the report has been received. How the Le Roi will progress under the new conditions it is at present impossible to conjecture. But whatever may be the good intentions of the new directors, much must be dependent on who is general manager, and how he discharges his duties. Mr. Frecheville's verdict on the issue whether there shall be a change in the office will be of paramount importance." The above did not appear in a labor "organ" nor one which is renowned, for being particularly favorable to unions generally. True the Financial Times has no use whatever for Whitaker Wright or any of bis followers in England or out here; hut then no really respectable newspaper lias. The paragraph quoled sums up the Le Roi situation as it stands today, and as it will stand until Mr. Frecheville comes here, and makes the thorough investigation he has been employed to make, and reports his findings to his company. All the English papers contain lengthy accounts of the meeting and leading editorials on the subject and in no instance do they differ materially from the position taken hy the Times. Ab the chairman of tbe meeting said to the assembled shareholders: "In the meantime, gentlemen, you must remember that that your general manager in Rossland is Mr. Macdonald, and he reports to us that it has been absolutely necessary for him to oppose tbe strength of the mining unions in Rossland. We believe there has been a necessity, but at the same time as you have heard Mr. Frecheville is going out and that is one of the first questions he will enquire into." Mr. Macdonald bravely denied the idea of there being anything to investigate. His newspaper referred in most sneering terms to the so-called visit of inspection and investigation, and openly charged tho Would with trying to mislead the miners by holding out vain hopes that any investigation could possibly take place. How much of what has happened in London of late of the most vital importance to Rossland has appeared in the columns of Mr. Macdonald's paper, the Rossland morning Miner? Tbe absolute silence maintained on all the important matters referred to is plainly significant of bow the Le Roi manager feels on the subject. Doubtless he is busy getting matters in shape for Mr. Frecheville's visit, and if but a small portion of what is now common talk about thc streets of Rossland iB true, there will be plenty to investigate. Pending Mr. Frecheville's arrival the union can well afford to watch the pretty game in progress here—aDd smile. WAGES AND HOURS. The Labor department of the London Board of Trade has just issued a report on the changes in rates of wages and hours of labor for 1900. It shows that the year was one of exceptional prosperity for the operatives. Some, it appears from the details have prospered more than others, hut the general rise in wages whicb has been going on for some years past has gone on conspicuously during the twelve months comprised in the report. Referring to strikes and lockouts, the report is very encouraging. It shows that many firms, as a matter of practice, allow the wageB of their work people to be governed indirectly by the terms of general agreements, tbe decisions of boards of conciliation, or the operation of scales. The net result has been that labor disputes have much less frequently become acute, and the statistics on the subject show a distinct improvement. In 11)00 only five per cent, of the persons whose wages were changed were concerned in either strikes or lockouts. Three methods were chiefly employed in coming to an agreement. 1st. Sliding scale. 2nd. Conciliation boards or some equivalent body. 3rd. Negotiation,direct or indirect between the parties concerned. In 1890 the percentage using the sliding scale was 22, for conciliation boards 10, for negotiation between the parties concerned 68. In 1900 the first had declined to 10, and the third to 42 while the second i.id risen to the same figure. This is satisfactory as indicating a growing feeling of friendship and trust between employed and employers. Referring to hours of labor the report in question showB that in 1900 no less than 50,857 workmen had their hours of labor diminished by about four hours and a quarter per week on the general average. This reduction was larger in itself and affected a greater number than in 1899. The eight-hour day movement is making progress, for a greater number of work people secured it in 1900 than in any previous year, this being chiefly due to the inclusion of the Lanarkshire Coal mines. It will be noted, and well noted, that such an insane policy as that inaugurated, or attempted by Bernard Macdonald at the Northport smelter and the mines here of destroying labor unions finds no place in the old country. One can imagine what the reBult would be, if any company manager openly took such action, and the fate of any company who supported their manager's avowed policy. NOTES AND COMMENTS. The Silvertonian has suspended publication. In their last issue Messrs. Matheson Brothers, the proprietors, say: "During our four years in Silverton we have done all that lay in our power to advance the interest of the community; we have taken part in the occasional fights that come our way, neither seeking or avoiding them, and always in a fair and open manner. While we have made enemies in this way, we flatter ourselves that we have made many moro friends, and that thc Silvertonian has been a welcome weekly visitor to many homes. When Silverton feels the effect of the return of prosperity, which is certain in the not far distant future, The Silvertonian will be revived." It will take more money than Bernard Macdonald and Edmund B. Kirby ever Baw to drive the Western Federation out of Rossland.—Sandon Paystreak. So long as Mr. Bernard Macdonald is general manager of the Le Roi so long will he and his policy be supported by the London directors, and he can obtain a daily cable from London to that effect and publish it under flaring headlines in the Miner—but it won't be news here.

C, Sept. 5th, 1901. To the Citizens and Business Men of Rossland and Vicinity and lo the Genera! 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-hall 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 live furnaces at the smelter. It is only a question of simple arithmetic to see that it 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 e the 500 men necessary to start the smelter, it will take twice that many, or seventeen and one-half month-', 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. Mc 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. I le 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, lie claims to have shipped one carload on August at. That it was the highest in value of any shipment math;. 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 ol the river. He also claims to be able to start thc mines in Rossland. Apparently he docs not realize there is an alien act in Canada, for of thc 30 employes now at.thc 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 have every reason to hope that by October 1, 1901, Bernard Macdonald's name will only remain in Rossland as an unpleasant memory. We hope lor 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 thc light. This war was forced on these unions. We entered the struggle full of a belief in the justice of our cause and conlident of our ability to carry it successfully to an end. 'Ihis 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.

Riehard Plewman Stock Broker Bank of Montreal Building V. & N. Phone Bl ORDE & CO.. Mining Stocks, Real Estate, Fire Life and Accident Insurance 126 Col. Ave., Opal block. Telephone 6i Seattle, Sept. 10.—Considerable anxiety is expressed through inquiries received in this city regarding the whereabouts of F. M. Crop- Icy, well known in Southern California, where he was a prominent business man for many years, and also in Nome mining districts, where ho was regarded as one of tlie lucky ones. The missing man arrived in this city from Nome on the steamer John S. Kimball, August 19. He passed several days with friends in thiB city and then started for San Francisco, being escorted to the train by several of those who knew him. He is supposed to have on hiB person at least .3000 in currency in addition to drafts amounting to possibly a like amount. From that day to the present time he has neither been seen or heard of States. He longs lo fold them in his arms as they alight from the train at Scab junction. He knows them for tho fine fellows they are. They'll be dictated to by no paid agitator. Perish the thought! But then he must remember that it is only natural for Wood- j side to try and keep them out ofK.Or 1 . i ni,__i.l at ti ..'fl.i.'b i British Columbia. Why, it was only last July 4th that said Wood- side in his newspaper, "The Miner," denounced the whole bilin of American miners, lock, stock and barrel, calling them law-breakers, desperadoes, &c, and urged the thrifty law-abiding Canadian article to have nothing to do with them. He charged them with— but let me see. It was Woodside who wrote that 4th of July article wasn't it? On second thoughts I believe it was Charles Abraham. A iu ord to the wise is sufficient P.

"Circumstan- ■''' Pg school days has ces alter cases." Mr. Editor do tell Billy McDonald to be more discreet. Why, he gives the whole game away. Only yesterday I heard him say in quite a loud voice to Bulmer. "Wei how are they coming?" The reply came: "Oh, kinder slow." They were over heard of course and the SJJNfTj result is, that the chief of police and I gjjl^f the "railway" editor of the Miner 'BftKJ are searching every freight train ! for the cases of rilles and revolvers' that are coming for the Miners' ; union. Yon see, it is all right in a! wayback place, but when there are "real smart" men around it is risky, to say the least of it. So much can be made out of a simple ! |&riS remark. | £<j$2 Why I knew a parson who j §£53 preached a sermon that drew tearh ffcfgj from every eye, on the simple j ©J^ words. "And lu- coughed twice £fo*£j and spat thrice." j SSJQ And you you be careful too, Mr. I Jjjftjf Editor. That last anarchistic tir- j fi^jKJ ade of yours would have made even Czolgosz himself shudder. Luckily there were no really prominent people in town at the time, or else a dastardly crime would have followed. With Col. Jackson on a visit to Lord Minto, and our only other colonel gone tuna fishing, we breathed freely. But do be more careful. It upsets Charles i Abraham, and another "windy',) spazzum" might kill him.
