C.,.THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 22,. 1906 Price $2 ■ a year in Advance From Tuesday's Daily News: , Grand Forks, Xov. 19.—An app.d- ing crime was1 coiniiiittcd last night at Niagara, U-n miles from here, on tlw west side of the north fork of lhe Kettle river. . An Italian laborer who has win working on llie grade of thc Jv;';c!c Valley Lines, broke into the powder magazine, and for purposes of revenge, apparently, look two or three cases of powder and secreted them in .the Canadian Hotel, the license of which was'owned-liy one Blanchettc, the hotel lieing run liy,a man,named King. ■ ■ ,J * lietween t- 30 and to o'clock a terrific explosion ■ took place which wrecked lhc building, setting lire "to the debris and doing ghastly damage. King.and his wife and an iS-year-old daughter were standing together at thc lime, of tlie explosion. Tlie girl was literally blown to pieces. Mrs. King, with thu .exception of severe damage to thc hands, escaped. King, himself, was seen shortly afterwards running towards one of the contractors camps, half clothed. Au Italian laborer who had ten minutes before the tragedy been' put to bed drunk, liy King, was badly burned. Another Italian was brought to thc hospital here by Dr. Dickson, who was summoned to tiie scene and arrived shortly after -midnight. The injured man will hardly recover, as he has five ribs fractured,'a bad fracture of tlie skull, and a lung puncture. It is thought that the powder was placed between the first and second lloors, as most of the- injuries received were near tlie head. Nine other people were more or less injured. Home idea of tlie terrific force of the explosion may be gathered' when logs a foot and a half through "and _o feet long were-* thrown one hundred yards away from tlie wrecked huild: iiigrt-Tli"cri^(l^miTav"ol~tIiF""girl were* blown 'to an' adjoining 'building, which - Ihey set' on (ire. Dr. Dickson states that on thc way up he heard a horse pounding along the grade towards the eity, and it is believed that the criminal escaped this way, though so far 110 trace has been found. Tlie building was a two storey and a linlf log structure. Dr. Kingston, left this morning to hold an inquest, and Constable Dins- ■ more lias been on the scene since last night. 'Later)— The charred remains of the King girl were brought hero this afternoon. The Italian, who was sleeping in the .building at the time of the explosion and who was badly burned, has turned up, and King, has, also ar- . rived here very seriously unnerved by " liis awful experience, although not severely hurt physically., Constable Dinsmoro has one man under arrest ou suspicion.

Ilussey received 1. .lows limes lielow. Fireiiinn ltyaii crawleil up the post from which the- wires went inlo the building, and called,to the man' to crawl across lo safety ion the post. Mr. Wahurst lay flat- on the. wires and crawled across the width of the sidewalk, until lie was within reach ol the fireman. Kyan , caught him and landed him safely on the post, and they both descended to 'the ground, Unfortunately au accident lo one of the pumps at the power house caused the waler to give out, nnd where the firemen had at first been able lo throw a stream to the roof of the building, they were unable to reach higher than the second floor '.when they needed the pressure. When it was seen tlmt the pump., were not to render much assistance, alio big steamer was brought out and placed at the police station tank to pump. Hose wns laid, but owning to llhi'it in the tower of lhe hall not be- |ing in just the best shape, the stream from the steamer was for some thins weak. Later, however, a good pressure was developed, but lhe main portions of the building hnd already been burned and the playing of fur- It her water seemed but 11 waste.

NOVEMBERS, 1906 ■* ***.*W*iVt.*'**r*. THE FERNIE LEDGER IN AD- TWO DOLLARS A YEAR. VANCE. Issued every1' Thursday from tlie office cf publication, 'I odd Block, Victoria Ave., Kernie, British Co- * luminal D. V. MOTT -, - Editor G. G. MEIKLE -* - Mauager THE FERNIE TIEAJP The widespread effect of the com plications existing al Fc*niic between the'Crow's Xest Coal Company and its operatives is perhaps the only excuse an outsider can have for attempting a discussion of the situation. The varying and contradictory reports which have been given publicity but lend additional di ilieni ly lo a proper discussion of the* affair. It be-* gins to appear, however, lhat the issue between lhe' warring parties has resolved its.'lf into a^question of the closed shop and nothing more, and that while the miners are determined to force-the closed shop on the companv, the company'in turn is resolved to forestall that result. While tliere 111 ay be important considerations involved in an issue of this sort that arc fully understood by thc contending parties, it is dillicull* for an outsider to appreciate the gravity of such an issue or the necessity for , its being carried to the- length of stopping thc mining and smelting industries 'of llie whole province as well* as inflicting untold inconvenience and' hardship on an entirely innocent public. The fuel famine which has ceased to threaten and which has become a realitv, is causing incalculable loss to' many private individuals as well as lo mining companies and other industries dependent upon a. full and icgular supply of fuel for. their prosecution. Thus,,1116 evils of monopoly, and thc uncertainty of human passions have combined lo throw the whole counirv into a slate of suspense and privation. The situation i.s the strongest possible argument in favor of the enactment of a compulsory arbitration Jaw, if not,* indeed, the public operation of coal mining industries by means of which the needs of the people -and- demands ' of the industries Jii-iy be supplied. Thc willingness of the> coal company to arbitrate on one question, and of the union bosses upon another, while they fail lo- agree "upon "lire-inTlTcT-"wiricir^ii'irilH)e"irn""i~ trated. shows that neither parly i.s sincere"; and lhat. a-merely factional fight is well pleasing to both sides. It i.s to be a test of strength . between organized capital on one side and organized labor on lhe other, with no doubt at all as to which will win in . lhe' end. The operations of the C. X. 1'. Coal Company have been carried on from lhe first with a ■ .shrewd eye lo 'maintaining command of the whole situation, and .whatever the rights r,[ labor, may be in the question, it is as useless for the'miners to hope to will as it ,bas been in every other case where conditions have been lhe .same. The company, can evict them, and be well within its rights under the lnw, whatever may he the moral aspects of-the case. Kvcii in the present day, when labor locks horns with unlimited capital und dogged persistence, there is little chance for any gain by the toiling classes. On thc other hand, the evidences show all loo plainly that the men are not themselves ;i unit in ihcir opinions, and nothing more quickly alienates the sympathy oi the public than the spectacle of a union or aggregation oi men tit war among themselves. It shows thai there i.s something rotten fn the stnte of Uen- tnark, and the outraged feelings of the public will unfortunately be turned ngailist those who most need sympathy from thai quarter. It might not be unwise for the next session of the legislative assembly to puss such legislation as would enable the government to break such dead locks either by compulsory arbitration, as In New /.eulnnd, or by the opening of such collieries under,gov. iTiiiiietit control us would nfiord ic* liel to people aiid industries when men lose llieir heads and come to a war ol wages or of hours, or what is lc-cU of nil impoiiatit, closed shops, The Daily Canndiaii, from vhieli the above is taken, should rend the Ledger more rnrefully.

Had the Canadian looked a little cks.r into the controversy, it would have discovered that the above is a correct slaUnuni of the case. Th. Canadian is only repeating what the Ledger has said before when it stales that the situation only actuates the d.-mand for some kind <.f compulsory arbitration-, but while parties to these disputes show such a- decided repugnance to entering into vrlunlary arbitration, how is compulsory arbitration to be brought about? , As the Ledger has staled before, the, road to compulsory arbitration leads through the admission of.the principle of unionism to the fullest extent, and that the present - struggle is being waged to annihilate, tliat principle as far as possible as ap? plied to one side and lo strengthen it, the "closed shop principle, and perpetuate it as far and as completely as possible, by the same party as to iis side, does not indicate that at least one side of thc dispute is nudy to accept compulsory arbitration np- slatioa for every parcel that'comes to them. Here'is a chance for the Board of Trade to make itself useful.—Lethbridge Herald. When there is enough, business in Lethbridge village to justify some fellow to put on an express wagon, the fellow .will he found who is willing to' do it.. Small villages always have that kind of trouble. on a fair basis, , »——p- , —.— The public will soon be warranted in demanding that,, the government ,;al.c over the operation of our ceiil mines. Coal was not given to this country by the Creator for llie purpose of causing rows between mine owners and iheir employees. Coal was intended for use of the people, and if they don't gel it, there'll be trouble. Socialism will gain strength if a great natural resource • like coal at our people's very doors is kept from the people this winter.—Lcthbridge Herald., —o-- THAT DISCOVERY. The discovery that President Cock- burn netted a personal' profit of S-1,239-50 through purchasing two blocks of Ontario Bank shares, and reselling the stock to lhe bank, was the somewhat startling disclosure of the ■ proce.dings in the enquiry ' into the charges against Manager McGill. lion. A. B. -Murine was the central figure of the day, coming for tbe ,;',rsL lima into prominence in the role nf inquisitor. As, an associate of Mr. Iticknell in the process of exami-iing '.he books, and preparing the special .xhibiiij, Mr. Morine had heretofore remained in'the background. But it -.vas different for the space of 20 min- 'ilcs -or thereabouts yesterday. Arm- .d with some significant facts glean- :el from the bank's head ollice ledger,' 1\is incisive, clear-cut interrogations wrought speedy confirmation and more besides. In November of 1900, and again in May of the following year, the Ontario Bank issued, a new allotment of stock in thc ratio of one share of new to three of thc old. President Cock- burn bought, of these shares, so talso did Director A. S- Irving. Mr. Cock- ii.iini7.s total pin-chases werc__7S. This is about as socialistic socialist could desire.

C, Nov. i_.-Chicf Commissioner' Green's refusal to sell Babine Lake lands' to the Dominion government is accepted as a reversal eif the policy when Kaien Island was sold to Anderson, Bodwcll &■ Co. The Commissioner says he has uo power under the land act to sell larg-^ or blocks „than 160 acres to any one person. Local politicians claim,that their contention in tlie house lasl session that thc Kaien Island sale was illegal and the land must revert to .he province,- is confirmed by .the Commissioner's answer to the Dominion, and serious complications at Prince Rupert is anticipated. From the above il would seem lhat ■ he Commissioner 'of Lauds and Works is as ■ unsuccessful in getting letter terms from the Dominion as is- Premier IdcBride.

To lhe Ledger Kid: Dear 'Kid,-—I came across"* thc fol lowing note in the editorial note column of the' Toronto Glohe the other daysaud am greatly perplexed by it. Could you explain lhat matter tOoine co'.that'I can understand just* how such; things, work? I am a' director in two. companies,, and I don't' want to lc subject to the possibility of having -to" sue myself. It" would double mc, up, so that I could not 4 , - - *' sleep nights. „ Hoping .you can relieve mc, I am truly yours, . IJOUUTFU'lLY _)OUBLE. The,general' public of Canada would be greatly pleased to learn that' a modus' vivcndi' had been arrived at by. the Dominion Coal Company and the Dominion Iron and Steel Com- t' paiiy. ■■.. There must be some better way than litigation of settling the dispute between these two great corporations, which have several directors in.common, A small committee "of experts might, after, a careful investigation,, make some useful suggestions looking to a'-reasonable set-- tltmcnt. ,' , ■ -' . Dear Mr. Double,—You* have given the Kid a poser which reminds him oi un-old farce play entitled Cox and, Box, iu which Cox and Box got into nn awful tangle with' their " landlady over the room ithcy occupied.-* ' This "enterprising landlady had rented a'room,,, to a printer who worked 'nights,'and who consequently occupied the room only by day. "'--Another man, a tailor, who worked during "the day, had-the pleasure , of occupying the room' at" night while .the"printer was busy, sticking type. But the landlady came to grief-,in a little while',- just as-.those two companies-have .done down east. It seems that Box, .who is a direct or .iii both those companies, has riiii into himself anil is haying trouble trying to explain to ' thp shareholders how it is possible to represent both sides to a controversy and sue, hi 111- s.lf, swear himself to be both right and wrong, and comei - out of, the tangle with his own private interests in both companies intact and the interests of all the shareholders properly protected. It- sec-nis lii the Kid that this Cox- and Box kind of double, directing sham is about as much of.a farce as was the old <; Cox andtBox, rooming house farce he enjoyed so much years ago. , .- -. "',-','' Box can swear as director . of the coal company he is being juggled by Box as director, to the steel,1 com-' pany, and can ask*the court lo protect'himself from himself because,;he is sure that he is ' trying to cheat himself., ' ' Then the judge will have- lo,'decide whether Box is really honest when he swears that he is not honest; -V r ■,-- The judge might, in such a case go far enough into the tangle to-find, out' how much Box is interested in the coal company and how, much in the steel company, and such information might bring to his niiiul.thc wisdom of Solomon, and he might, by .hold-- ing Box up by the heels' and' threatening to cut him in two with thc sword of justice, making two real'directors out of him, get at the root of the evil. , . The Kid wishes to assure Mr. Double he has nothing lo fear from being a,director in two companies!so_ long as it i.s possible to use himself in his double capacity so as to protect'his own, interests. It's the shareholder who will have to look after his'pockctbook, Go to sleep, dear Double, you are doubly secure. =-. " NIGHT-CAPS The;Herald editor never accepted a cent for his'vote or, his, influence. , Good for that editor. The price of editor:-' votes and influence should always be kept above the'cent bell. Eviction* of tenants may be' all right-for unpaid rent, tind the preservation of forests wise, but when a great corporation like the ' Crow's Nest Pass Coal Co. takes advantage cf trouble in their works to evict their workmen and, neither, supplies co.il nor lets people have, wood, capital makes a more severe commentary on itself than its worst enemies collid.—Boundary Creek Times. They don't seem to care about commentaries on themselves so long ns tliey have their men working ou un open shop principle in a , closed shop cnmp. vcr wants the change, cos she 'as got to imt a'penny in lhe_gas meter." .

FREEDOM OF THE OPEN «al a"'1 organized, is given full rein SHOP. Tne falsity eif llie claim that the open shop menus liberty' and independence is illustrated by the following examples; I11 Indianapolis one t of llie most promiiKiil advocates of llie open shop employs three boys to every man. .The wages of the in en are given as $6.50 a week. That's open shop. Where is the independence al, th.il price? In a hat factory in Philadelphia union meii were gradually discharged and boys hired. Now Soo ,lioys make from $2 to S5 'a week. When a boy I'.ccoiii'.'s proficient and demands fair wages, he doesn't gel them. lie is at liberty to go. Thai's open shop. . A coremaker in Detroit was ' paid , S12 a week. He had his daughter,, assisting him. Soon she learned how to make cores. Then he was dis- clurgi'd. The girl was given liis place al $4 a week, lie became free to seek another job' That's open . .shop. In a union pressroom in Chicago a iioii-uiiioiiisl was put at work. .Then a second, a third and a fourth. "The union men cpiil, They didn't wish lo wait until they were discharged. The intention to get rid of them was very plain.' That's open shop. In the government printing office at Washington fifty-six refused to pay the assessment for the,eight-hour straggle. Hy doing so ihey broke a suitinn pledge of honor. That comes from Ilr. open shop." It encourages dishonor aud 'makes men contemptible. An employer iu Milwaukee said; "I don't know what we arc going to do. We can not get enough young help. , The competition is so sharp we must employ childiin, who do not demand big wages." More open- shop. The tobacco trust employs over 16- '■ 000 children . at an average of less than 35 cents a day... Tlte work injures their health. Again open shop. Iu'Milwaukee .a boy 14 years old worked as high as fourteen hours a day for Si.50 a week. His employer was fined Sio. and costs. liberty lo hire whom lie pleased anil lo work them as many hours as he chose was • t fins denied the employer. lie should have had an open-shop judge' to decide the case. Imagine, a Methodisl bishop assigning clergymen of other "denominations to Methodist churches. Then refusing to listi'ii to any objections. ' would l:o open shop. ' Ought the .ITniled Slates to Thai. allow rill foreigners to dwell here wiThouT paying taxes or being subject lo its laws? That would be open shop, with its freedom and independence. n ■ The anthracite miners had" open .shop uiuler the most favorable conditions possible. Many of the iiiem- her.s of the-union saw no reason to continue to pay dues. The organization dwindled rapidly. When llie'tiine came to make another agreement the union had no real strength. The open sho]) is ileal') ro labor's power. ll makes men inio cringing slaves.0 The gariuuit workers of Chicago had the open shop forced upon them two years ago, Sweat shops have iu- cre.fscd enormously* in conseipK'.ice.' Wages have fallen very low. Trousers are made for 13 cents a pair, and only six pairs a week ran be made nl the uiost by the one doing the work. One woman who sews trousers is nble lo make i),..cents a week. Another gets n cent apiece for linder- vists and does about fifteen a day. A crippled man and his wife finish coats for a cent apiece. Ileiug slow work- eisi each can only make about '23 cent** a week, 'Where the clothing is made sanitary conditions nie so awful llml contagious diseases (ire likely to.l.e in every garment coming from there. All who buy clothing or mingle with others nre thus endangered. The Jives of such toilers must l.e short, and -miserable, Where is the Independence niid freedom or the open ■-.hop? .'illy thousand iliildn.n work l,i the textile mills nf llio south, The aver* ngr life of the child after il enters tlie mill is four .years, Tlml's open nhop nud yawning graves, Hoes liberty mean license to coinuiii 11r.1v- tier? The tyranny of greed, both indivld- by the open shop. Misery, degradation,' crime and death are its inevitable outcome. Therefore, organized labor opposes it. Therefore, also, the Methodisl Episcopal church aud all oilier., who sanction it. must be classed as enemies. Who so aids by word or action the bringing about of such awful results as follow the open, shop is a criminal before the bar of morality and lustice.—Alexander Spencer in Typographical Journal. CARK 01',THIS 1JAIJY. A mother's work and worry in caring for her little ones is greatly lightened if she has on hand a safe remedy for thc cure af indigestion, colic, sour stomach, constipation, diarrhoea, simple fevers and the other little ailments that are apt to come to children suddenly. For these troubles H.Vhy's Own Tablets are better than any other medicine. They are mildly laxative, prompt in their action, and a few doses usually leaves the child ■ in perfect health. They do nol contain an atom of opiate or poisonous'soothing stulT. They always do good—they .cannot possibly do harm, aud may be given with equal safety to the new born infant i.r well grown child, , Mrs. Reginald James, I'Vnaghvale, Out,, says!*- "I have used Baby's Own Tablets and find them unexcelled as a medicine for children. They promote sleep and general good_Jicallh." Vou can get tlie Tablets from your druggist or by mail al 25 cents a box by writing The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Hrockville, Out.

Title | The Fernie Ledger |
Publisher | Fernie, B.C. : D. V. Mott and G. G. Meikle |
Date Issued | 1906-11-22 |
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. The Ledge was published by Robert Thornton Lowery, a prolific newspaper publisher, editor, and printer who was also widely acclaimed for his skill as a writer. 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. |
