The referee Uien announced Ms decision,' giving the maieJi to Lauder, aud the.cheers could be'heard up to ihe Alberta. Altogether'it was the best exhibition of the manly art of self-delence ever given iu Calgary, and too much praise cannot be given to AIL Fidler lor tlie manner iu which he carried oil the contest.

At that time it was little, if any, played in Ontario, except at Ottawa and iu eastern towns. "The proposal was then made that the vice-regal' teams (of which the present Hon. S. A. Fisher, minister of agriculture; H. A. Ward, M.P., and 1 were members), should visit and play matches'in. the west. The captain was the late A. H.

I think, too, we had with us n "Mr., Bogart,, then of the Bank ol Montreal. Mr. Fisher was too conscientious us, a parliamentarian lo go nil playing hockey. "This aggregation today would be laughed off the ice, but it was a pretty fair team for tliose days, and they won at Kingston, Lindsay and Granite rink, Toronto, 'but lost to the Victorias in Toronto on the evening of the same afternoon they played tht Granites, This ' really started hockey in the west. The association was then formed. ''The then governor-general was wildly enthusiastic, In fact, as cricketers play cricket 011 Sunday afternoon in some parts of England, so he. ^encouraged hockey at the Kidcau Hull rink on Sunday afternoon, The papers 'ticked up an awful, fuss, but I do not recall that any of us exchanged Sunday school for Saaday hockey.

This shelves. the question for the life of the present -:id * the next parliament. Three years ago all the ministers supported 'the resolution. in the same terms as tht ont whicli is now headed off with this dilatory amendment. They have modified their views since then or have been influenced. But the tariff of this year shows a more rapid diauge of opinion on the question. As introduced in November'the tariff gave no preference to' Canadian porta. As Mr. Fielding antended the bill oa February 14th, it was ' provided that preference should be allowed only ou raw sugar imported whan it came "by ship to a port in Canada from a British country." On March 15th Mr. Fielding abandoned the ■ Canadian port restriction und amtiidtn the clause so that the pref-" erence would be allowed on sugar brought lu by foreign ports. It will be seen that the ministerial mind is changing with startling rapidity. Anoihsi- futile attempt has been made by the committee on-privileges and elections to find out whether Mr. Hyiniin has resigned his seat. The effort has failed. Mr. Duffleld, of London, who has been In telegraphic communication with Mr. Hyiitun, wat Niiinmoned to appear on Thursday and' tell what lie knew gbout the mln- ister's in.HtrucUomi to liim to got Mr, .liirvis and Mr. lleale to sign 'the second resignation as witnesses, Mr, Dullield did not come and sent no reiiNon for his abnetice, so the committee concluded to wait another week and get tht sheriff to look for the witnesses. As Mr. Dullield confessed in tlit Toronto police court, that lit paid a former Conservative voter U° out of his own pocket to cut down the Conservative vote by forty at liis polling place, it'is evident that ht is much interested in Mr. Hytnnn't success at the polls. Since Mr. Hyman selected this gentleman to prepare tht ground for the next enmpai^n, we are liw tn "ndir* for ourselves what kind of a campaign Mr. Hyman wants. The magnificent triumph ol the Kob- llu government iu tht Manitoba election gave great pleasure to the Con- strvatlvts in parliament. It is known that tht Lturier administration wns using all the inlhuiice It rould tomn*i*Jsd to crush out tbe Hob- Ha administration.

In his recent book, written after earefolly1. gathering statistics .oft the subject, Dr. Ryan assures us that more than fifty per cent, ot the laboring men of our country do not average six hundred dollars a year. How, then, can any one reasonably maintain . thati ail laboring men ..are setting »b rauoh compensation as theyare entitled to?. To do so one would be compelled to adopt the maxim: "The laborer, is (not worthy) of Mi hire.1' In our opinion there ia no occupation, no matter how unskilled or how mental the labor, that the workman Is not entitled to a living wage,for hlo services. It the gentleman tn ques: tion was compelled to exchange salaries with a bIx huidred dollar a venr laborer he would soon change his opinion on the question of! every man getting as much compensation as he is entitled to, He would! find that no matter how adept he and r his wife might be in household economy, such a salary would not begin to purchase the, comforts of lite. Jit is amusing to observe the false reason- fug and the Inconsistent statements men are compelled to resort to when they oppose and antagonise organized labor.; Wo remember tne day when wo sat In n court room,witnessing a trial ot several men who were charged with contempt bf court. These men had violated an Injunction issued by the famens Judge Jackson during it strike ol street oar employes who had received 16 cent* an hour and were demanding. 20 cents., On the day that Judge Jackson was sentencing these men for violating his Injunction ho took advantage of the opportunity to deliver a discourse, from tbe bench, for the benefit of the community. After Insisting, on the Importance of projecting men In their alienable right to,work for whom tlmy plpaaWI, nnrlar what condition* they pleated and for what wages they pleased, and condemning orgnnlied labor for disturbing the harmony or the Industrial world, by Inciting strikes and lu "attendant evils," Judge Jackson told of what a great sacrifice he had made In devottug Ms life to the enforcement of the law, saying, "Hy salary waa •carecly sufficient to support myself and family In decent oomfbrt." Jackson'• salary wm $5,000 > year. At the rate of wagea that tha atvikera were asklnf thty could oiake $624 a year by worRng ten hours a"tiay,six days xfcvWek.i fifty-two* week3°*-a year.Ji "j,-.-.; -wi*™.- '<..; •j*,"'jjt*i**> .J/,?1", jast.thinkloftbe consistency of-.-a .man who. in the .jitnt.-discourse, 'fltafeS'that $5,<X)0 a year is ."scarcely, sufficient _ to ' support,,himself_„,.aqd family im J decent comfort, ?' and., then, (condemns organized labor for distatb- ing industrial liarmpny. by,/jjnciting" men to demand $624 a year for. their services.:{ And he; furthermore j.-in- sisted that if we did not cheek'' this tendency, "grass would be~ growing on the'streets of oiir iiew prosperous city." It .is "eight, years since we heard Jackson deliver, this discourse but' It, seems, that .the same kind of argument is being used to-day, We will admit that the cost of living in some stations oi life is greatbr than in others, and that the people in those stationB.ot life are entitled to greater wmpensation because of that fact,bat we are not wlliing to admit that the proportion shonldbe as great as it is at present, and we emphatically protest againstthe unreasonable assump. tion that the man who must' depend upon manual labor for his livelihood is not entitled to sufficient compensation te enable him to support- himself and' family In reasonable comfort. And while there .are many trades in which men are getting; a fair rate of wages, for which they can thank organized labor, still there are great numbers who are not yet getting as much compensation as, thev are entitled to. The right of a man to work for whom, how and when he pleases has no place in an intelligent discussion < No man has a right to' work under conditions that injure the health0 of his neighbors, or under conditions that will compel his fellow workmen to accept less compensation than will allow them to live in comfort.

Title | The Fernie Ledger |
Publisher | Fernie, B.C. : D. V. Mott and R. G. Marshall |
Date Issued | 1907-03-23 |
Description | The Nakusp Ledge was published in Nakusp, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, from October 1893 to December 1894. The paper was subsequently published as the Ledge both in New Denver, from December 1894 to December 1904, and in Fernie, from January to August 1905.

After moving to Fernie, the paper continued to be published under variant titles, including the Fernie Ledger and the District Ledger, from August 1905 to August 1919. |
