Comrade George Smith ;cf Coal Creek occupied the chair, •and the meeting opened by, singing of Socialist songs. Comrade Harrington was the speaker, and his subject was "The History of .-the Labor Movement," and it was patent to all that he had made a comprehensive study of his subject. Comrade Harrington remarked that • in order to understand the lesson of the labor movement it was necessary to take a brief review of primitive man, and in the earliest records of primi-" tive man we find him living in a common state'; it was assumed at one time He was living as' a tree dweller, he may have lived alone, but there was no actual proof. We first became acquainted with him as a fish eater this implies the use of fire, and is termed the middle stage of savagery. From then on, up through the groups, tribes and parties, we find labor is common, and every one shared and shared alike, as they say Socialists would do now, * during sa-* vageryKthe unit _ of the human family 'could only procure sufficient to provide for himself and his offspring; it was, therefore, unprofitable tb enslave him, and so ..cannibalism, was the rule;' - .with the discovery of cereals and the' multiplication and,, domestication —of—cattle—a—man—was-enabled—tov produce more than it required to maintain him. it became profitable to enslave him, so that instead of having ,one --good meal from their visitors of war, the victor could have several per day, so long as the slave lived. :.

C, JANUARY 4th, 1908. m V Working Classes Should be in a Position to Know How They Stand in Relation to Capital Too much sti'..s cannot be laid upon the stress of n thorough understanding ■of tbe circumstances surrounding- the working class under the present system of property and proper application of •all tbepowers at it'h command to relieve tho workers from the economic pressure tliey suffer insder.it * The purpose of production, under the rule of capital, is to bring profit to the pockets of the owners of the resources of the earth and the machinery of production. This profit cannot be obtained unless those who perform the labor necessary to carry ou production can he in some manner compelled to surrender, their power to labor for something less than an equivalent of the wealth produced by its expenditure, This is, happily for the capitalists, very neatly provided, for under the guise of what is termed the wage system. In return for the'expenditure of his labor power the worker receives wages. Upon tlio face •of it hii appears to be paid for what he has done. If he were actually paid for what he had done some sliiewdiignriiij; -would bo required,^determine how his employer could obtain a profit from the transaction. That the purchasers of labor "power do make a profit out rf tho nrame somehow leads to the conclusion that the worker is not paid for what he does. His wapes must, therefore, come to him as a result of other calculations. It i.s of prime necessity that ho be made to understand clearly the secret of the wage process in order that he may so shape his action as to enable him to es- ***cape"from— the~exactions~thatr**a"re_iaid" upon him under it. Under production for profit tho things produced take their place in the'market as commodities, i.e., things for sale. Things for whicli the owner has no uso, but which he must sell in order tn tians- form their value into things for which he has use. As the workers have no ownership in the means of production they nre forced to sell their, labor'power to the capital- ist**, Tho latter, by thoir ownership of the resources of the earth and machinery- of production, are in coniplotocommand of tho labor power of the workers. They must sell their labor power to tho capitalists in order to obtain tho necessities of lifo, Having ho means of production of their own through which they can expend it and thus obtain tho requisites for tholr continued existence, thoir'labor power becomes of no use to them. They must offor it for sale in tho market in order to transform its value Into the things for which thoy havo use, i.e., food, clothing, shelter, etc, Tholr very bodies become, na it were, factories for the production of tho commodity, labor power and themselves sellers of tlmt commodity. Thoy must soil or starve, honco the purchasers whereof, tho capitalists, havo a powerful lever in their favor In determining thu prlco. Commodities, as a rulo, exchange in tho markot according to tho rospnctlvo amount of necessary social labor em* bodied In tho,, production. This hold. au truo of tho commodity labor powor as of any othor, If a glvon amount of food, otc,, is requisite to tho production of a day's labor power, I.e., tho keop ol tho laboror for ono (lay, then tho truo •exchange valuo of a day's labor powor, expressed In money, Is tho prlco of tlmt amount of (bod, etc! If this given amount of food, etc., cau bo produced in, say, (our hours, and tho length of tho normal working day bo eight hours, then It logically follows that tho ox- change value of a day's labor power is only one-half the e.vchange value of the product of one day's labor. If the worker ;;ota the equivalent in money of ibih given amount of ,oo<l, etc., ho has received all that-his labor power for one dny is worth in the market.. As he lias produced this food, etc, or its equivalent, in fow; out of the fight hours he has worked, the product of his 1-ibor for the remahiin<- four-hours is a clear *.-ain for the capitalist. Jt hns cost him nothing. It represents his profit, ,lt is the price the worker pays for, the-blessings of capitalistic rule. The capitalist class is enabled to' maintain its position of mnstery ot" the menus of production and its consequent dominion over the army of laborers Bolcly by virtue of its instrument, the State. By control of, the organized powers of government, legislative, judicial and executive, it sustains, bulwarks and defends its property rights in the means of production and its consequent enslavoment of labor. So long as tho laborers give their political support to the parties of capitalism they but forge tho fetters upon their, own limbs.. They grant to the master ciasB the power and privilege to enslave and rob them. The interests of the enslaved class demand that their economic bondage be brought to an end by breaking the rule of capital over the means-of production; the things upon .which the workers depend for their-sustenance. To effect this it is.necessary to wrest the control of tho State from the hands of the capitalist class and use its powers to effect such transformation of property rights in the means of production as will henceforth,secure to all men the full fruits of their labor. To effect this requires the best .efforts of every member of the working class. The - political movement ot labor throu-ihout-thj. world signals the rapidly approaching day, of reckoning for; tliat vulgar and repulsive' protit-mon- •■cring class that now holds sway over the world's industries and makes the' lives of workers a hideous sacrifice upon their theives' altar, capital. TESTE!) IIS LOGIC John Seemed to Hake His Point But issed the Chicken. . The old couple were eating their first meal with their sou after his return from college. "Tell tis, John,'' said thc father, " what have you learned at college?" "Oh, lots of things," said the eoh as he recited his course of studies.

" What is that, my boy ? " " Well," replied the son, " let me give you a demonstration. How many chickens aro on that plate, father?" -" Two," said theold man. - ".Well," said John," I can prove there are three."" Then he stuck his fork in one and said, " That is one, isn't it? " " Yes," said tho father. "And this is two?" sticking his fork in the second; * -. " Yes," replied the father again.'' . "Well, don't one and two make three?" replied John triumphantly. * y'7'ell) I declare,1' said the father, ""yotr have learned things at college.

JANUARY 4th, 1908 HAPPY XEW YEAR We thank our readers for the support given to us. during 1907, i'or it is to them we owe our pce- sent strong,,position among the human family. * It is our intention to make this paper the Tribune of the workers.. TEe defender of the oppressed, .the attacker of evil, and the guardian of the interests of the workers of this community, whose lot it is to face the greatest danger every day of their lives, in order that this community shall prosper. No we do not intend to sell out. On the contrary the workers who rim this ..paper realizing the "immense power of the press in moulding public opinion,* intend to spend a few thousand dollsars in equipping our plant with modern machinery and in further extending our power for good. .We are here to stay. The Labor unions- are here to stay.. ■ The political movement of the working class has come to stay, and it is our intention to push it on to victory. In doing this the interests o£ our readers will- not be allowed to suffer. We have witnessed many- changes during'1907- we may witness many more during 1908. We live in an —age-ofr'progressj—and-we~inteiid—to" progress with the age. Our circulation is on the increase, especially outside Fernie, so we have decided to be known in future as "The District Ledger.*' Success to Femie and district. , o - jLEMlfiUX GETS A I.KSSOX of in some quarters. That would not alleviate matters one bit, neither would it increase the market for coal. The Coal Companies having contracts with their employees, cannot reducej wages and if they could do so the consumers would immediately demand a* reduction* in price. Already the consumers of. "coal are getting it at a less price than prevails in the old country and they can' well affotd to pay present rates. In tho steam coal trade several of thc Companies whose contracts with the C. P. R. expire at the end of the year, are now negotiating for new contracts. The C. P. R. is the most niggerly buyer of coal in the market and unfortunately is in a position to dictate to many of the mining companies. We believe that when they commence operating at, Hosmer they- will not be able to procure coal as cheaply as they now purloin from some companies. The coke ovens are dull, but with the opening up of* smelters, we can look for increased activity in the production of coke. ■ » o RIBBING THE PUBLIC POLITICAL SITUATION IN SOUTHERN ALBERTA As Viewed by-an.

'What a farce. ' Theso men wero. in the\;House,'at Ottawa when the treaty with Japan was put through. Did they raise their voices in protest? Of course not. Thoy hailed with delight tho passing of- the treaty because the party said so,- and becauso the Canadian Manufacturers' Association desired anothor avenue for trade and choap labor.

The Domestic Coal trade of Alberta is somewhat alack at present the mines complaining of a Bcarei- ty of oril»r» Th. vrry .*!.-;; iuJ. open fall throughout the north -west this year has caused a great saving of the coal bills as com* pared with a year ago. The rapid development of a number of small mines scattered throughout Alberta added to the increased production of the larger mine*, has caused a temporary glut in the market. A cut in prices has been spoken Most, of our readers have heard of the laws' of Frank, in the Crow's Nest\Pass District of Alberta. . Frank is noted for three things. It's coal, the rock slide, and the famous sulphur springs. At the base of a rocky cliff bubbles forth one of the finests prings of sulphur water' in Western. Canada. It is commonly.* supposed to therefore public property. Our go<3d LibSeral Government" is so liberal that it has given away the sole right to take water from that spring to the Canadian American Coal Company, a Yankee concern operating the Frank mine. The .owners b'eing all Americans with no interest whatever in Canada except to skin labor and take as much of the .natural wealth out of the country as possible. Wn shall* see the interesting spec-; 7_acle_of_the^A'.aters_,of-i-Canada-be- ing. corelled to pay tribute * to American speculators. The .Sulphur springs of the Canadian west should never be allowed to pass, out of-the hands of the.people. Our patriotic Liberals care for nothing but -the dough and to hell with posterities. Most people in this district have heard of the town of Blairmore, nestling as it does, amid some of the finest scenery of the Canadian "Rockies. For some years it has been the custom of the residents pf the Pass to bury their dead on the hillside, in a beautiful location, a short distance from the town, The land was thought to belong to the Government, Our good Liberal ' Government has quietly given this hillside to a Liberal party healor by name of Little,! and in futuro the people must pay for tho privilege of burying their dead, These are but instances ,of tho manner in which tho public property is squandered in the interests of political grafters, No sulphur wator to bathe in, in spite ,of tho fact that millions of gallons aro running to waste; and nowhere to bury' tho dead without paying tribute. Roll up, ye slaves, and .vote (or tho Liberals and, graft; and.ye will soon have no air to breathe, in spile of the Chinook winds "' The decision of the recent Convention in'Calgary to, ally the labor unions of* Alberta with the Socialist Party of Canada is likely .to have a far reaching effect upon both old parties. In the past it has been the custom of party leaders,' both grit and tory to coquette with labor leaders in order to capture the labor vote, to so devide the workers on election day that they dared to be dangerous. We happen to know that elTdrts have been.made,along these lines lately;—especially by the Grits, who have utterly failed to attract the certain well alnown labor leaders into their field. Tha modern1 labor leader is generally a close student of political affairs and it is not so. easy for Grit oi Tory politicians to' lead him astray. Not a trade union leader in Western Canada today desires -.to go down the same path as Ralph Smith, M. P.', h.-.s gone and be shunned by his ' fellow,craftsmen. And so we see the most aggressive and .the ■ most intellectual among trade union leaders , advocating, the principles of the Socialist Party of Canada. '■ ♦_> ♦ B.

We don't have any mobs in Fernie, and our banks are as solid as any upon this continent. The old parties have practically' selected their t candidates and we propose to briefly examine their prospects. The Macleod riding being; largely composed of. farmers it is. expected, that they are safe for the, old parties. We shall see what we , shall see. John Herron of Pincher Creek is the Tory candidate, Poor old- John, he has had his day, he has been in the Eouse of Commons since-last general election. What has he accomplished? Nit. He is.supposed to be a - strong candidate; hut not "^m^g_^e_i_Lh_____^or_the wagej, corners of his , constituency, nor a.mong the intelligent and up-to- date farmers. No', poor old John has become fossilised. The workers have nothing to hope for from him. Tory he was born and Tory he will die. "-. ". A. B. Macdonald is the Liberal candidate, so says the Liberal machine and the humble and lowly, voter must govern himself accordingly, and bov/ clown and worship, the Golden calf that will be trotted forth from Mac's ranch. For has it not been so decreed by the "Hon,-Frank" tho, dictator of our political '■ destiny,. ' Are not the Grits in power and have not they the long purse. * Have not they their pockets full of new roads and bridges to bestow upon the needy. Of course they havo the dough, and every little tinhorn in the country will hang around Mac- donald's ranch worshipping tho Golden calf.

NATURE GIVES THE WARMING & Tomorrow's Work Will Suffer if You Overdrive Today—Ths Prico a Man Is Compelled to Pay if He Kcops on •the Pressure Too Long. When we-lmve set out on n piece ot muscular work or lie-id work we might expect to find a steady, regular increase in tho fatigue that resulted from it-so much work, so much fatigue. , But that is not the case. The •fatigue curve" is not a straight line eloping up from one corner ot the chart diagonally to the other. Instead it goes sharply upward. at the start. Then for a long distauce It runs along ou an approximate level, aud then It takes a sharp upward turn again. The level stage—the plateau of hard, ' normal working power, where tho cost In energy, doesn't vary perceptibly—Is the "second wind." You know how it is in long distance running. At first the fatigue increases very rapidly. A man has to push himself with all. tho will power lie can muster. Then all of a sudden it gets easier. It seems as if ho had tapped a big, nev supply of energy, and he can keep running for a long timo without nny great increase in his feeling of fatigue. At last ho reaches a point where'tlie exertion tells hard again. Fatigue piles up terribly fast now, so fast that unless tho runner knows just how much he is good for and has made careful calculations he is likely to be "all in" . before ho 'gets to the end. Every step makes ari inroad on his reserve energy. The last s**)urt costs more than all the rest together. If a man has covered his distance without touching this final turn of the fatigue curve he will get rested in' a reasonably short time and be able" to go over the course again. But if instead he has to keep on, teeth set, eyes bulging, "hugging his corncobs" until he rolls over on tho ground, it may tako weeks for him to get into good form again. In a big race naturally, -he-8-got-to-be-i'cadj-to-do-that *—_ There aro emergencies In everybody's llfo when tho merely prudent thing isn't the right thing. If a house Is on firo and a family ou tho top floor is in danger and you're tlie only person on the promises ' you can't stand calmly* aside and calctih.te your fatigue curve. There's a necessity for action—at any cost whatever, oven life. A man may have a big proposition to put through, some Important combination to effect, a now movement to get under way. rorhnps lie Is tlio only person who knows tlio whole situation. Success may depend upon hiin. In such a case ho must let mere pmdeneo go by the board, and ho must stand ready to pay the price, too, when thnt'a called for, o But "such emergencies aro not everyday matters. Tomorrow wo are going to have another day's business to attend to, and ilio probability Is lhat Jt will bo Just as important as today's. Consequently wo havo no right to overdrive ouisolvcs today, for the prlco of It will ho taken out of the quality of tomorrow's work. Wo havo dono enough when wo hnvo como in sight ol thnt Inst costly lap.

' J Mr. Uufii-'ll Imn chnrgii of ail peonngel , Tho general increase in tho price of wood-fortho-past-few-yeara-haa-hnd-the effect of turning public attention to the timber supply in general. To-many, the increase in prices is sufficiently explained by saying that there is a combine among lumber producers and manufacturers. But, independent of the possible existence of any combine, a deeper cause underlies tho increase in prices, tvncl tho cause lies in this, that timber is becoming harder and harder for tho manufacturer to net. Greater and greater economy and use of materials formerly considered as waeto is being introduced into the manufacture of wood, but in spite, of it nil tho prico of lo;-s is going up, owing to higher wnses tlmt have to bo paid, greater distances the logs have to bo brought and many othor reasons. Not in America alnno is the searclty of timber being felt; it lias become a world-wide question. Only Biiven countries in tho world are now in a jiosition to export timber. In Europe tliere nro live, namely, Austro-IIungnry, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Ituasia; In America there nro two, namely, Canada and the United States. ButliusBla, AuBtro* Hungary and tho United Statos nro increasing their population and developing their industries so fast Hint they cannot long continuo to bo exporting countries. Tho timber of Norway is threatened with excessive cutting. Gor* ninny, whoro tho practice of forestry has boon brought to the greatest perfection, hns never beon nblo to supply home demands, nnd is a heavy importer. Canada, Sweden and Finland nro loft, nnd llieir supply is hopelessly dolkltmt for tho world. - If Canada -wcro to attempt to supply tho United St a ten alone, its entire timbor nrea would bo cut off nnd denuded in tho course of a ▼ ory few years^-probnbly lets than & docado, Various estimates ol Canada's forest land lmve boon given, Eight hundred million ncros was a (aw yonrs ngo accepted ai pretty near tlio truth; but,, considering the damage caused by (iro and othor d.Btructive agencies, it in doubtful if tho oxlmin-j- forests cover half tlmt area.
