Comrade' McLaughlin presided., VThe subject under -■ consideration was "Unemployed, It's Cause and Cure.", and was- ' opened out in an able and instructive manner by the Secretary, Comrade Symonds. "In the course of ,his. address the speaker said;—' ,,'•1 suppose that I am speaking to a body of people' who have at some *" time in -their experience* passed through that. curious industrial phenomena,' unemployment. This, is an age when we are boasting of our achievements. We build great bridges across space, and by the aid of compass and pencil can find out to a nicety .the exact measurement: of each span, and what it can bear." We have, our big undertaking in railroads and other things, and one would expect with all these things that , employment would be found for ajfi. the people. Unemployment is a peculiar thing.to one who does np_t observe but the socialist accepts it" as part of the present industrial system. \ 7- iMost of you read -.the '.'daily, papers, capitalistic papers".we call' them, and you doubtless suffer a siaiall amount of uneasiness - in .'reading'' these papers, you. read about panics.

S& 1 WW. I , .•'OF BANK 1 -Ll The General Manager Explains Commercial Stringency § « Montreal Dec, 13—At the annual meeting of the shareholdex-s of the Bank' of Montreal the annual report as recently, published' was adopted and authority given for tbe addition of two directors. E. S. Clouston, general ^manager, ' commenting on 'the figures contained in the annual statement, said the increase in the deposits " bearing interest was due to .. the withdrawal, of funds by the people attracted by .the low prices of securities' and ' desiring to make' . permanent'investments. - , - '*, He referred to the stringency in the money market, taking the ground, that the reaction, so far as Canada was concerned, was not likely to be nearly so severe as in tbe past instances of the kingdom. The stringency -was due to universal causes. Countries have ., been living beyond their'means, and retrenchment, was necessary, , Mr.' Clouston also answered ^the criticism ' on the action, of the banks in having so much loaned - outside the Dominion.) which in a time of stringency might have been used .to .advantage at borne. He . claimed' it was necessary" to Have sufficient assets easily and quickly available.*-, Sums loaned "to- call' in-safe securities were really part-of the reserves of the banks', and they had the' choice of leaving, them lying unprofitable in vaults or using them to -'advantage.- •' - * . ,'■ •*_ ■',".. ' • ..Even if the money was' all call- ., ed in it-would not be placed in -* circulation, being_^a_na-rt_o_f__^the reserved.' "„' . ■■;.^" 7 ■■'" * * . ■ "The. president, Sir'Geo. Drum- , iriond, in his address was optim- ■ istic, saying: "'■ ■'•'Here in Canada we have escaped most of,all the troubles of our neighbors. The' collapse-'in- stocks has. no doubt affected- many in- v'e'stors, but beyond a certain tightening of the money ' market- and advancing interest, I can see no' evidence of serious 'effects. The' banks have been-acting with caution "in their reserves,'which, • is eminently proper with a conflagration raging next-door, but consumptive-demand has been good, and the excellent business - of the early part of the year has shown little abatement up to the present time." '' - '",'.' , . - fl . OUT OF THE DARKNESS tor man a. realization of his . responsibility to his fellow man."" To make'manhood felt far' and wide was the highest .aim of niah, and this was tV:e of "a, nation." The law of influence is one of the greatest laws which governs.us. Man's influence on his fellow man is either for' good or bad—that influence is always present. Thus it is that we can lift up or we can drag our ■ fellow man* down'. Through it' all we can see the vision of the great opportunity '' to do good and influence other men toward heaven. "Some men who are in business think that tbey have their .business to do.as they'please with it, but that is - wrong." said the Bishop. "It is a matter of stewardship and it is not his own for his own use. There must be _. an accounting to society, to other individuals and an accounting, to God who gives us these, opportunities. One man* may be given one talent and another ten. The only equality is in the opportunity for service, and.each man will be held responsible only in that measure that he has given talents." ■ The speaker then referred to the great moral wave that was • at the present .time sweeping over the United States. There was an ele-' ment of.pessimism prevalent, but despite it- all there was every hopefulness.in the situation. Men ■were beginning to- care whether a thing was, right or wrong, and. that... in itself was a great improvement'- and intensified the' hope. Some men were- prone to think that the region represented by the old gospel was-playing out, but nothing could be farther from the truth. . This belief was being even carried' into the pulpit and was developing into sensationalism'with, the yellow journalism as a promoting, force. o > - "Religion will never play .out," was the 'emphatic declaration of- the. Bishop^'« "Men never" thou'ght more v about it than*'they do. to- "aayT^TKey are tired"of that which has grown out of sectarianism in religion, but out of it all is growing, a' grander idea of the Kingdom of flGod and the Saviour him-" self.'*. Previously it was- a mutual admiration society.—a sort of holy 1 elub—buL it did' not 'work,, "The world is growing better every day. and the type of manhood is. becoming nobler," ob-' served the Bishop in com*lutiion. "True. manhood is reaching out so that you will lift others high- el. Out" of the darkness there ahines a light, • and that light is so' reflected in us that we can see the good works of our Father.and glorify Him in heaven."

Tho mooting was under tho a,uspicos of tho Brotherhood of St. Andrew in connection with the church, nnd was largely attondod, bolng representative of almo3t every denomination. An 'oloquont arid forcible spoaltor, tho Bishop was heard to splendid advantage, and hiH words carried conviction with them. His arguments showed a broadth of thought nnd a practicability of purpose that rendo'rod thorn dooply impressivo and made them peculiarly adaptable to tho subject which ho discussed, ''Man's Responsibility to Mnn." '•This Pucifle province is full of activity and enorgy," he declared..

NEW S1SWEH SYSTEM . Tho formal opening- of tho sewerage system by tho city fathers last week marks,,an epoch in the growth' of our - city, Adequate jsewerago is one of tho necessities of modom Hfo, and the conditions of life without it aro intolerable. In tho old days somo sanitarians considered1 an opon sower as tho only way of ventilating a town, holding as thoy did that the noxious gaso8 woro disseminated into tho atmosphere with tho least possible harm. To thorn tho closing in of thoso panes as in mo dorn sanitation, would work incalculable injury. Hard as they woro at first to convinco thoy havo at length tmccumbod to tho dictates of scienco and aro now on the sido of the modorns, Fernie is to be congratulated on its oncrgotic action to equip a thoroughly modern soworago system ond tho city engineer is to be congratulated on tho realization of his ambition. o... \\ 4*.*-*r.*w>.,. . +, r ... . 4'.

MINERS' OFFICIALS Members of the United Mine Workers' organization ■ and miners everywhere are taking- an unusual interest, ' in the forthcoming , election of national officials.- . , This is not surprising, as it is the first change of any consequence that has been made,in", the official force of the International ■ organization, for some years. A great number, oi the membership personally know the candidates for the various -positions. Those who have not met them at conventions and at various district conferences, have had ■- the opportunity of looking over the various records of the different conventions in the last eip-lit nine or ten years, and should know what. has or what has not been done by ■ the various,. officials , in behalf of the organization. ■. It would seem "* that the whole question should be left to the rank and file of the .membership, the men who swing the picks and keep up the organization, in order'.that they may in turn be benefited by it.- -. . ., , „ . *; '.. This it seems, is not to be done as it has reliably come to the Industrial Index that a number af the members bf the United Mine Workers, holding official positions and paid , from the Iaternational treasury foi" buildr . ° the organization in," unorganized ' districts, in other words, some - of, the organizers, instead ■ of- devoting their "time to the purpose for whicli they are% employed, are engaged in' organized districts in, electioneering against, one of the candidates for internationsl presidency. - -. .,,'''' This is not done with, the consent of the organization, but it is true ' nevertheless. ' ./And; it' is "strange that, these people - all * repeat the same story and* repeat it- in a-uniform way. The story has' been printed in articles written'.' in Indianapolis,,' Ind.',,and in Scran- ton-' and .Wilkesbarre, Pa., arid Have been'copied and recopied to lhe effect that it is not safe to elect'. T.-- L. Lewis'„ international president because he is a "radi-' cal." The'use and purpose of this statement by the men who spread it is ..to create'. prejudice against =one^-of—th.G=best-=officials=th"at=th.G= United Mine Workers ■. ever had. And we - question very much whether the ■ people who use the term "radical'. 'really know what' the word means. A radical is a man after truth; is a man who believes in progress rather than retrogression, believes in ■ going forward rather than backward, always works and is doing something '' to uplift the human family, • , . All the.good'ithatwas.ever done! in the way of securingMabor legis-' lation and safeguarding the rights of the people in Europe-in the past centuries, has been done by Radicals. Scienco produces Darwin, Huxley and Spencer, the greatest radicals ever. The first Congress of .what is now the United States, was*in the language of Lord Chatham, "The greatest' body of men that ever assembled.", Thomas Jefferson, who, is given, credit for* writing tho constitution of the ■ United States, was a represontativo of. the radicals,' 'Andrew Jackson, tho father of progressive democracy, . was u radical. Abraham Lincoln,1 who was responsible for the freeing of a race of people from serfdom in tho United States was a radical of the most ■ pronounced type. Those mon** wero all radicals at the time when they actod, but now they are all prophets, seers,' and wiso men, honest men, when' wo look back at thoir sayings and doings from this time, And coming to our own da", wo would suggest that tho two' load- ing figures In tho public mind at tho prosont time, Theodore Rooso- velt and William J. Bryan, aro radicals of tho most pronounced typo. .. In short, a radical has tho cour- ago of his convictions. He does something. Ho may mako mistakes, but in tho general trond and course of events 'tho irreat majority- is benefited by what ho doos. A radical dons not live in tho past but in the futuro, ,Ig- noramusos who. accuso men of being radicals (-imply pay thorn n complimout without intending to do so, Thoy, the creaturoB .who make accusation without knowing what thoy aro talking about arc never found in the front ranks of a fight, but always in tho rear nerff tho commissary do- pnrtmont, whoro thoro is somo- thing to hand out and no danger, and nothing to bo lost. "By tholr ways yo fihall know thorn."

"' '". ... , It is believed a majority of the ettombed men,were killed. _ The bodies o£ three miners have beeii recovered near the .mouth of mine No. ti. "'-".■, ' j.v Mine No. 6 as-located-on the east'side of the Monongahela river and mine No.'8 on the west side. How the explosion occurred simultaneously in both mines cannot be explained at this, time. ,. All is confusion- at the scene of 'the- disaster and: definite news is' meaner," The explosion was heard for 8 miles. -'• . - - * After . the, - receipt of the' news, physicians'and .'special cars'w-ere r despatched from Fairmont to the scene. '-.The' mine was too full o^ been made by the clothing ' and shoes he wore. The accident, the greatest in the history of coal mining-,, has dazed the people of this city. Tonight, the streets of both this and Fair-; mont;,are, crowded- with people,' whilst thousands line- the^sills. in the vicinity of the mines."' ^About ,40 ,percent..; of the entombed are Americans.' - All hope is gone that any of the men are still alive. t Nearl- 400 coffins reached Monongah todav from- Pittsburg and,,from West Virginia cities. C. W.'.Watson,* president of. the Consolidated Coal Comnany, said to'1 the Associated ■-.Press today: "The accident'is deplorable from .every standpoint. " It was entirely unexpected.. As yet, we do not" know the exact cause of. the explosion. It might feave -resulted from a blow out spot igniting , & pocket of gas. About 50 per cent, of the mine accidents of the coun-. try. are caused in this way. It is probable the present one resulted from this cause. -We will conduct a rigid examination. An investigation, however will not benefit the dead miners. Their, families .will be looked after.* » The company will bury the dead."- All the "saloons in Monongah have been- closed since the explos-. ion and the 6,000 miners employed in other mines in,, the vicinity, have*suspended work and tendered their assistance to rescuing' parties.- The property loss- is estimated at $50,000 exclusive,.of the cost' of "rescue work. - , M.

Another special says the first explosion was followed by. the blowing up oi a boileV.. in No. 8. Gravest fears" are felt for the safety of the great number., of men. in the workings. Some idea of the force bf the explosion may be gained from the fact that props from t the mine were not only blown out of the entry, but' were hurled clear across the west 'fork of the,Monongahela river. Wires are down. It is feared that, the;}accident will turn out to be the'worst in the .history of milling in this country.' _ Monongah, W.'Va., Dec. 7.— At 9 o'clock tonight a total of 25 ..bodies had been recovered from mines "No. 6 and 8 of the Fairmont Coal Company of Monongah. Scores of other, victims are -in sight of tho rescuing parties' and it was estimated that at least* 100 .dead will be brought to the surface before daylight tomorrow, Howover, the number of* bodies , recovered tonight and early Sunday depend upon the condition of .. the mino, it being said late today that tho deadly black damp became moro , pronounced as tho further recesses of the mines were i- approached, and it was a physical Impossibility to go further on account of tho impure 'hir. It is stated tonight by the gonerul manager that 487 actual minors were checked off as entering tho mines yestorday mornine, This numbor, It was further stated, did not include fully 100 tappers, mulo drivers, pumpers and boys. Should thoso figures be correct tho death list will bo ovor 550 persons, Thci condition of tho bodies thus far recovered is horrible, Many aro dismembered, somo aro fearfully crushed ond the rest are blackened and burned beyond recognition. Tho body of J, J. McGow, pit boss, and one of tho best known mining mon in West Virginia, was recovored tonight in Mine No, 0.

The others, undoubtedly between 300 and 400 in number, lie in' unknown sections of the'-east workings," that extend two miles and more back from the main entrance to the mine's. The unlocatsjd bodies" - are, seriously menaced by destroying elements, by decaying in- the overheated, humid and vapor poisoned atmosphere,, and * by fires that are smouldering'here and there in the workings, and from time to time bursting into flames. Steadily the chance is ebbing that these bodies will be brought'to the surface, identified by friends' and relatives and given Christian burial. A large force of" skilled miners, volunteered for*-.- tHe hazardous task of the' rescuing,, are on the scene, ready to re-enter tho mines and take up the work where they were forced to leave it yesterday when fire, broke out in'mine No, 6. The men await only tfia word from Clarence Hall, the export of the Federal government and J. W. Paul, West Virginia, chief mino inspector, Thoso two men aro now , in charge, superceding ofllcers of tho mining Company«and others, who directed the first rescue work. New difficulties and complications havo confronted the rescuers on every hand, but only with brief interruptions, .the work was con*, tinuod until three o'clock yesterday afternoon. Tho flro drove all from tho unexplored rogions and tho search had to bo abandoned. Tho flames have been fought bv ovory * possible ' moons, including, tho.. laying of water pipes from' tho river far into tho mino, The flro which broke out in No. 8 mino yostordav was walled in this morning nnd tho recovering of the bodies of the victims of Friday's explosion ,wns rosumed.

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.
