And we were unable to bring the parties involved to an amicable agreement. Therefore, the undersigned respectfully submits the following report and recommendation: After hearing the evidence -riven by over thirty witnesses examined, and. after careful consideration of the same, it was evident that the charges made by the Greenwood miners were well founded. The company, by its failure to produce evidence to the contrary, left the impression that the case as presented by the union was a very strong one indeed. That the manager of the B. C. Copper Co- is a 2. 'I hat active participation in the work of the union, or the holding of any political opinions should not interfere with securing or retaining employment. 3. That every facility be given the employees to take advantage of laws upon the statute books of British Columbia for the protection of labor. 4. That both parties to rhe dispute lay aside all ill feeling toward each other, and endeavor to have more harmonious relations in the future. These suggestions, if put into effect, could not interfere with legitimate mining operations, and would be mutually beneficial throughout the, metalliferous mining districts of British Columbia. There has been scarcely any serious labor troubles for a number of years, and this condition is due in a large measure to the fact that nearly every IS LEAVING FOR THE COAST. hard man to deal with was fully prov-' company operating in the province J> ere /F ^ TOILET ��� Strong alkaline soaps will roughen, and. if used long, ruin the complexion.

And, in the opinion of the writer, the difficulties between the management and the employees were due largely to the failure of the manager of the company to meet his employees in a spirit of fairness.- . - ��� - * In paragraph .1 (three) of the company's reply to the employees' demand for a board of investigation, we find the following: "The company has never had any relations with the union," but the evidence shows that the manager has at various times dealt with the union in adjusting questions of wages and conditions. Tliat the officials of the 13. C. Copper company were doing their utmost to disrupt the union was amply proven. The discharge of the men who took any active part in the work of their organization would eventually result in crippling the union, and render it ineffective. This was thc policy of the company as proven by the evidence. Testimony by several of the witnesses tended strongly to show that a 'black list" exists in this district. Men who were not agreeable to the officials of the 13. 0. Copper Co had experienced considerable difficulty in holding positions where any influence could be brought to bear by the officials of this company- That there was no necessity nor justification for the passing of certain resolutions by the Greenwood Board of Trade was practically admitted, even by those who had signed those resolutions themselves. *No proof being found with which to substantiate the recitals contained in these resolutions, after all the evidence was adduced, the Board endeavored to get the parties to the dispute together, so that if possible they might arrive at an understanding. The officials of the union signified their willingness to confer and settle on reasonable terms, but the representatives of the company refused point blank to have any dealings vvith the union, or to recognize them in any way as a union The manifest willingness of the union to meet the company and settle on reasonable terms would indicate that if the company was desirous of settling the dispute it could be settled with very little difficulty. After taking considerable pains to get the true facts in this dispute, and having some knowledge of the conditions in this district, the following would, in my judgment, be a fair basis of settlement: 1. That the British Columbia Copper company recognize and do business with the Greenwood Miners' recognizes the Western Federation of Miners. The miners of British Columbia are an intelligent body of men, and in their dealings with their employers they invariably show a spirit of fairness. -If Capitalrinvesten" -in ' vJritish Columbia is to have smooth sailing it must be represented by men who are willing to grant their employees rights as men and citizens. Iohn McInnis. R. K. Steven, for tho past ton years manager nf the Greenwood Club, lias resigned liis position, with the view of leaving for Vancouver about July 1. At the hist meet iug nf-tlie goneral committee of the cl ul) this resignation was reluctantly accepted, a resolution boing passed by the coin in it tee and endorsed by tho members thanking Mr. Steven for bis long and valuable services and extending very sincere wishes for his future success iu the new field. Mr. Steven, thougli still a young man, ranks as one of the "..���Id timers1' in Greenwood and has always been active antl aggressive in all matters pertaining lo tbe welfare of the city. He has done much to make tbe Greenwood club the institution which lis is today, having served it most lovally and efficiently since "^^J*, 1900. He will be greatly misled there, as he will generally about fown. Last May he spent a month at Vancouver and there became imbued with the spirit which seems to take possession of all who visit the place, and his decision to cast his fortunes in lhat great and growing city followed. He has already concluded arrangemen ts for going into business out there. Mrs. Steven has been at Vancouver since last March and is an enthusiast regarding <he big coast city. Her departure is also much felt here and, with her hii**Viacd, -*be tikes with her the best wishes of all who knew them. OUTLINES OF CURRENT EVENTS. That the British-German feeling is not confined to Europe is the news brought by the Empress of India, whose passengers s6ate that not only was there a dispute over the supplantingof Britishers by Germans in tbe Chinese railway in North China, which has resulted in the refusal of British capitalists to advance any further monies and in one or two cases had resulted in a deadlock, but some consternation had been caused among Britishers ia the Orient by tbe report that German officers would be engaged as instructors and advisors in the new navy being organized by the Chjnese.

Copper Co. *. On the receipt nf Mr. Mclnnis' report the company at once wrote Judge VVilsoa denying the statement that the Board had endeavored to get the company and the union together after the evidence had all been heard, and asked him to confirm the denial. In answer to this, the following telegram was subsequently received: Ckanhkook, B. C, June 23. J. E. McAllister, Green wood, B.C.: Just received your letter on my return. You are correct. Onlv grounds for statement can be statement from Cronvn that no use to have suggested conference, as in face of evidence he knew you could not concede point. P. E. Wilson. Report of the member of this Hoard nominated by the company: At the conclusion of the sessions of thc Conciliation Hoard, when it became apparent that it was impossible to make an unanimous report, it was arranged between the chairman -ind myself, that as we were entirely agreed upon all the points in question,' that we should send in a majority report signed by both of us. Later, however, the chairman advised me that, after talking vvith some of the citizens of Greenwood, he had come to the conclusion that his report would have a more beneficial effect on the laboring classes if he were not associated with the company's nominee in making it, although he again unqualifiedly agreed with me in the whole matter. Having lived for some jears in the mining camps of British Columbia, including Greenwood, 1 am thoroughly familiar with labor conditions there. It is a fact that the American labor organization, known as the Western Federation of Miners, has for.years been strenuously endeavoring to establish itself in the mining camps of British Columbia It is notorious that many of the leading spirits of tin's organization in the States not only countenance but encourage methods and principles which are entirely in' defiance of law and order, and it is greatly to be deplored that this organization should have been permitted to gain any foothold whatever in Canada. It is hard for citizens of the eastern part of this country to understand to what lengths prominent members of this organization are prepared to go in their effort to dominate other members, and to enforce their wishes upon any community in which they operate. It -is clear from evidence given at trials in the Western States, that violations of thc law sometimes involving crimes of violence, and even murder, have been committed and justified by prominent members of this organization, and their defence has been paid for by the unions and public subscriptions made for them through the unions. After a most careful cousidera- Mr. W. K. Gooding, teller of the Grand Forks branch of the Eastern Townships Bank, arrived here on Monday to lake charge temporarily of the bank's Keremeos office, lit is expected that Mr. Longburst of Grand Forks will be appointed manager h-^re, but owing to the absence of the Grand Forks manager he is unable to leave there at present.��� Keremeos Chronicle. James J. Hill is rushing tbe completion of hi*?- Penticton B. C, branch with the object of getting a stroug foothold in the Rocky Mountain section of Canada, according to Mayor Jamieson of Calgary, who today said that Mr. Hill had informed bim to that effect. Hiil intends,"the Mayor says, to reach out and keep the prairie provinces. Hill said the people.of western Canada need not be surprised if they found that he had swooped down into their territory as that is his intention. Editok Times: In answer to the appeal mado by Mr. George Heatherton in your last week's issue of the Times, he states that 1 am unfair to organized labor. How he comes to this conclusion I fail to see. J might be unfair to the Miners' Union, but I am not unfair to organized labor, as I have been a member of my own trades union for the last five years, and carry cards to certify. Does Mr. Heatherton think that I, as an electric- Ian, working at my trade, am going to join the Miners' Union, when in the district the international Brotherhood of Electrical Workers can look after my interests? Would it be right to ignore my fellow workers iu the same field and join the Miners' Union? I am sure the answer would be in the negative. Respectfully, George Aitken.

A very pretty wedding took place in St. Jude's Church ou Wednesday, when the Rev. V. Venables united in marriage Miss Mary Margaret Maud M inkier, the only daughter of Mrs. Minkler of Greenwood to Mr. John Thomas Beattie, mauager of tho local branch of the Canadian Bank of Commerce. The Church was beautit'ull}- decorated witb evergreens and white flowers, an especially graceful feature being a huge- bell of white flowers over the steps to the chancel. The ladies of St. Jude's Church were responsible for the decoration. The -church was filled with friends and relations of the contracting parties. Promptly at 12 o'clock the Kev. V. Venables accompanied by Mr. J.T. Beattie the groom aud Mr.C. Thomas groomsman took their place at the chancel steps. With the opening strains of thc hymn ���4 The Voice That Breathed O'er Eden," the bride, leaning on the arm of her uncle, Mr. Robert Wood, arrived, and the ceremony began. The service was fully choral and will long be remembered for its impressiveaess. After the ceremony the bridal party returned to the home of thc bride's mother when the register wus signed and a charming wedding breakfast much enjoyed. The happy couple left on the afternoon train for the Coast and will bo away some time, a large number of friends seeing them off at the station. On their return thev will occupy the hous" overlooking the city hall, the former residence of Mrs K. K cneven. The bride wore an Empire bridal dress of cream satin with a beautilul lacj yui.e, and white tulle veil and carried a bouquet oi white carnations and roses. The going away costume was old rose Directoire style with a picture- esque hat of the same shade. Mr. aud Mrs Beattie were the recipients of -*��� great number of beautiful presents from their many friends and relations here and at a distance. Last week tbe ladies of St. Jude's Church, where for many years Mrs. Beat- tie lead the choir, greeted her with a tin shower at the house, of Mrs. Proctor.

And now cometh one bearing a disquisition on The Essentials of Leather Leggings lor Mining Experts and desires thc printing of liis effusion in the Times, also the sending of copies of the paper to certain friends and relativ.es who will note with pride his ambitious cifurt. So arises the delicate question as to the extent to which tlie local paper should be the voice of the people and who the people are lo whom belongs the right of a hearing by proxy. First we must consider the lim- i unions with which we have to deal, the lack of space which, through constant use in making of excuses, is the newspaper man's friend. Here at once is imposed the necessity of becoming the voice of the people as a whole, and not, as a general thing, the voice of the individual. And usually the paper must become the interpreter of the voice, which, ���-.t.raj-gely enough, is often a silent one, finding many forms of expressions not vocal. f'ut���and here is the real matter, to which we urge attention��� we are always ready and glad to rective from any individual anything pertinent to the ends we iiave in view, which is the making llie paper an uplifting force in the community. We want it appreciated that the Timer, represents the people and stands for certain purposes aud ideals, not perhaps immediately acchievable but towards wuich we may work our way. Any suggestion, any articles which, directly or indirectly, touch upon the ends we have in view will be hailed witb mueh pleasure, and we admit at once that the writer or author of such articles or suggestions may be a far better interpreter ot the "voice" than is he who sits before tbe offiicial typewriter. But, lest we be convicted of tht legal tendency to hide an idea in a mass ol verbiage, the point. boiled down, is this: Thccolnmn oi the Times are open to all who have something of value to offer, and we shall greatly rejoice if enough interest in the work the paper is attempting be taken to lead to our being able to publish a quarter-page of pertinent com munications in every issue. A LENDING LIBRARY. That a lending library is something more than a convenience to the reflidents in a small towu, especially one that is some distance from thc largest centers, is indisputable. Particularly is this true at thc present time in Greenwood which, more than most small communities, contains people who enjoy the best books and like to keep in touch with the latest productions of good writers. But books cost money, and money is not superabundant these days in the smaller cities, Greenwood, we regret to admit, being no exception to the rule. At Grand Forks the lending library has solved the problem, and has proved to be no problem in itself, as it is a paying concern. It is cared for by one of the prominent booksellers and stationers and is of great popularity among the many who read a good deal and who would find it difficult to se cure,at a twentieth of the preseut expense, as satisfactory an opportunity to keep abreast with current literature. The system is simple and entails no great a- raount of labor. The plan followed is that the customer shall pay the regular price for the first book taken out of the library, a small fee being charged for the use of subsequent volumes. That this would bean agreeable and paying occupation for the librarian is proven in the results shown in other small cities where the library has been established. And the library would have, to a degree, an educational value. Of course the ''ten best sel-lers" would be available, and admittedly the productions of modern fiction could not all be classed with some of the well advertised breakfast foods as productive of mental and moral progress and enlightenment, but as a rule the books would be good and would furnish farmore satisfactory grazing ground for theomniverous readers than some of the magazines of the day which are now called upon to supply the vacancy. Many of the "old timers" plan to visit the Alaska-Yukon-Pacifc exposition, but there is aheady on the ground one who may certainly claim to be the original holder cjf the title. Tlusoldtimer is described as a "mummied dinosaur or trachadou" and he is supposed to have been dead some three million years. Not much of Colonel Trachadon's antecedent is known, except that he died suddenly in Wyoming on an extremely hot day with his feet in the air and then lay out in the sun for a few thousand years, thus becoming a mummy instead of a dislocated skleton. His sikn is still intact, albeit very much wrinkled, as becoming ripe old age Next winter you can get ice for yourself, bul now you mustphone B51 for it. you moat conclusive evidence that there has been no discrimination, not only in the cases cited in the application, but also at any time, and in addition we shall show you why it is not practicable tp accede to the demand made in the application that any grievance that may arise be adjusted through a committee of the Greenwood Miners' Union of the Western Federation of Miners." The address of the secretary of the union was as follows: ������The members of Greenwood Miners' Union in making application for a Conciliation and Investi gatiou Board, under the Industrial ��� Disputes Act, do not wish to leave the impression on the public that we consider this act as in any way intended to benefit the working class. " In fact, we consider the Industrial Disputes Act the most hostile piece of legislation on the statute books of Canada, at the present time, against the laboring class. "Our reasons for thinking so are that the corporations can ignore it in nearly every caRe, as Bhown in one case in which Greenwood Miners' Union was interested, and it would have been to our benefit to have a Board appointed, but the Deputy Minister advised us that the Department of Labor did not consider a copper mine a public utility. "' Iu May, 1907, the members of the Greenwood Miners' Union, believing tliey were entitled to a higher rate of ���/���age'-*, as the cost of living had advanced, and as the price of copper had been over 24 cents for the previous six months, made a demand on tlie different mining companies operating properties in the jurisdiction of the Greenwood Miners' Union, f**>r an advance of fifty cents per day in wages, and believing that copper inines would come under the Industrial Disputes Act, we made the demand to take effect the 1st of June, 1907. '* The members of Greenwood Miners' Union believed at that time that if*we could get a Conciliation and Investigation Board, that we had the whip hand, as there had been enormous losses to the B. C Copper Co., through mismanagement, and if we could get a board to demand the company books the management of the B. C. Copper Co. would grant our demands before he would allow an investigation. "But as the charges has often been made that the Western Federation of Miners is a lawless organization, we invite you to make a thorough investigation into our methods of doiug business, as we have nothing to conceal, and iu making application for a Conciliation and Investigation Board one of our objects is to let the public know the true condition in Greenwood camp. " When we made the demand in May, 1907, for an increase in wage.0, the managers of the different companies operating in the Boundary asked the committee representing the different unions to meet them in a body, as they would like to make a scale of wages to be general all over the Boundary country, and when the committee met them they asked for time to go to New York to interview the executive board of the different companies operating in the Boundary, and the committees representing the different unions grauted them the time on condition that they would give an answer before 1st of June, 1907. " After the managers returned, and we realized after meeting tliem that they did not intend, to grant tlie raise on the pitta that with copper at 21 cents a pound there was very little profit for them. After showing them that 50 cents per day advance in wages would amount to about one-tenth of a cent on a pound of copper, taking their own reports as a basis to work on, as they claimed they could produce copper and lay it iu New York at between !> and 10 cents per pound. Mr. Hodges, the chairman of the managers, remarked that the reports as they sent them out were only to ' hornswobble' the stockholders. '' The committee representing the various unions then made up their minds to apply for a Conciliation Board, and in answer to a telegram we sent to the Minister of Mines, his deputy notified us that we did not come under the Lemieux Act, as the copper mines were not considered by the department as a public utility. Then realizing that we had all the power of capital, with the public press, including mining journals of Canada and America printing lying reports sent out by the agents of the Mine Owners' association against ns, we arrived at a compromise. *��� After the union voted on the scale and we adopted it, we posted a copy of the scale on a building at the Mother Lode mine, so that the men would know what they were being paid, eo that they could make their cards, supplied by the company daily, for that and other purposes. Mr. McAllister sent word to the superintendent of the mine to take the copy of the scale down, as he had not been notified officially by the Greenwood Miners' Union of the adoption of the scale, We had theu to make a trip to the B. C. Copper Co. and notify him to that effect. "The managers of the various companies began to realize that the men by being organized were a power to be reckoned with, and Mr. McAllister started in very soon to show us that any man taking active part iu the union could not work for him. -' Notwithstanding the fact that we did not ask for a raise for six months after copper had advanced to 24 ceuts, and when we did demand the raise we gave the management over one month's notice, but when the price oi copper dropped and the conditions in the labor market were favorable to the operators, the various managers of the larger companies got together and closed all the properties in the Boundary without even 12 hours notice, for no other reason than to defeat the. objects of the said Lemieux Act, as the minister of Labor had given a decision after we had settled our grievances iu May, 1907, that a copper mine was not a public utility. "In May, 1908, the B. C. Copper Co. resumed operations under a reduced scale, but as copper was nearly one cent lower than when they shut down, they could not claim as an excuse the high wages paid in November, as a reason for shutting down in November, 1907, During the shut-down of the B, C, Copper Co.'s properties in November, 1907, and the resumption of work in May, 1908, Mr. McAllister was very active in getting the Greenwood Board of Trade to adopt certain resolutions placing all the responsibilities of the closing down of the B. C. Copper Go.'s properties on the laboring class, and the same resolutions were published and commeuts made in a great many of tho mining journals published in America. Mr. McAllister also tried to influence foremen in charge of other properties near Greenwood not to employ certain men that belonged to the union, giving as a reason that if the said foreman employed union men that they would divide their wages with the men that he was trying to drive out of Greenwood, and he also made the remark that he had two good men in the union to report what was going on. " In the appointmeut of E. G. Warren to the position of manager to the B. C. Copper Co.'s smelter, we believe that we can show to tbe satisfaction of the Board, that the only qualification he had for tbe position was that he was president Renewal of Hotel Licence TAKE NOTICE that I, L E.

Lewis of the Greenwood Board of Trade, and the recognized political boss in Greenwood of the Conservative party in British Columbia, and that the said E. G. Warren would use his influence to disrupt Greenwood Miners' Union. " A few of the reasons that Mr. McAllister wanted to disrupt the union for were because the Greenwood Miners' Union were trying to get the bpnefft- of certain laws on the statute books of British Columbia, namely, the Master and Servant's Act and the Workmen's Compensation Act, and we believe that we can show to the satisfaction of the Board that he has deliberately schemed to impress a company doctor on his employees to defeat tbe objects of said Acts. We also believe thnt we can show to the f-atisfaction of this Board tbat there has been uo effort on the part of the present management of the B. C. Copper Co. to operate the inines and smelter of the company for the interests of the stockholders as a whole, but their ouly object was to handle a large tonnage, aud in trying to treat a large tonnage it resulted iu enormous losses to the B. C. Copper Co., and we also accuse Mr. McAllister of using every means in his power to compel Greenwood Miners' Union to call a strike so that he could place the re (Continued oo Page 3.) Strong Healthy Women If a woman is strong and healthy in a womanly way, motherhood means to her but little suffering. The trouble lies in the fact that the many women suffer from weakness and disease of the distinctly feminine organism and are unfitted for motherhood. This can be remedied.

" Attached to the address of the ,- secretary of tlie union were the following demands: 1. That the management of the B. C. Copper Co. recognize a committee from Greenwood Miners' Union No. 22, W. F. M., to adjust yall grievances between the B. C. Copper Co. and its employees. ' 2. That the B. C. Copper Co", cease discriminating against members of Greenwood Miuers' Union ;;-Nb. 22, W. F. M. 3. That the B. C. Copper Co.- reinstate J. B. King and T. Y. McKay in their employment, and pay the said J. B. King and T. Y. McKay their wages in full from the time of their dismissal until snch time as they are reinstated. A. That the B. C. Copper Co. (-ball not discriminate against men on account of their political opin- '���- ions. ' ' 5. That the B. C Copper Co. shall not alter the existing conditions1 of employment of their employees without notifying the president or secretary of tho Greenwood Miners' Union No. 22, W. P.'-M.f and all notifications shall be in writing. 6. Tliat the management of the B. C. Copppr Co., or any of its ofnV'-iivls, shall not use any influence, or in any manner interfere with their employees in their choice of doctor or doctors. 7. That the management of the B. C. Copper Co. cease in soliciting the Board of Trade, and certain individuals, for the purpose of discrediting Greenwood Miners' Union No. 22, W. F. M. The first demand is for the recognition of the Greenwood Miners' Union No. 22, Western Federation of Miners. The company claimed that Bome of their employees are not members of the union, and as to these it is y manifestly unfair, under any circumstances, .that they should have ,'to adjust grievances through the union-. "-*���' The company also produced letters sent to their, em- v*i .ployees. (Letters published in Judge Wilson's report last week.) The secretary of the union, George Heatherton, was called and admitted that these letters were regularly authorized at a meeting . of the union and that he had. signed and sealed them under such authorization and sent them to the men whom tbey are addressed and that this was their regular method of procedure. He further testified that they got new men by '* rustling " for them. They approached a man two or three times, asking him to join the union, and if he did not do so they considered him "unfair to organized labor" and advertised him in their officicial organs as '-unfair to organized labor." On being asked if he thought the union had the right to do this, he said they had���that might was right in the matter. The company claimed that it waB impossible for them to recognize or deal with a union which would authorize such methods of blackmail and intimidation, and that to negotiate with a man who justified and approved such methods was impossible. I think the company's position in this matter is amply justified. I have frequently read in the official organs of the labor unions the advertisements referred to and have Been many hand bills posted in Miners'Union hall containing the names and descriptions of men who, it was alleged, were unfair to organized labor, and were, therefore, "scabs," and were toget.no employment of any kind. In such cases these bills were scattered broadcast through the mining country, both north and south of the line���a terrible condition of affairs to be permitted in a country where law and order are supposed to prevail. The second demand deals with discrimination against members of the Greenwood Miners' Union. The representatives of the union brought a number of witnesses who testified as to discrimination. These stated that a number of employees had been dismissed shortly after having shown activity in the affairs of the union, or in canvassing the employees of the company who were not members, with the object of getting them to join the union. In the majority of the cases mentioned, it was Bhown that the positions of the men dismissed were filled by other members. cf the Miners' Union, and that in all the cases there was a good reason for the dismissal of the men. These facts were brought out from the witnesses produced by the union itself, and the company did not bring in any evidence on the poinc, as they claimed that no discrimination against members of the union had been proved. I cannot find tbat any discrimination has been proved. In fact, it is quite clear from the evidence of the union's own witnesses that the company never made any enquiry as to whether a man was a member of the union or not. The third demand embodied specific instances of alleged discrimination. The evidence given by J. B. King shows that no discrimination was made in his case. He admits tbat he was told, when "he got his time," that the company was reducing its forces and was giving the preference to married men. He also testified that men were discharged at'the same time that he was, and while he thought that men had been taken on since, he waa not positive of this. He ad mitted that he had been guilty of iufractions of the rules. The evidence given by T. Y. McKay shows clearly that the company was reducing its forces at the Mother Lode mine where he was employed; that quite a number of the men were laid off before he was, and that the man who took his position on the work. wa*. a member of the Miners' Union. He also admitted that he had broken some of the rnles and had been absent frequently from work during the time immediately preceding his discbarge. I do not find any discrimination in either of these cases, as the company was justified, when makis-g a reduction of its staff, in selecting the men beBt fitted for tbe work, and the fact that union men took the places of these two shows there was no discrimination against the Miners' Union. I do not think that any injustice was done to either J. B. King or T. Y. McKay in their discharge, and therefore c4n not find that the company should pay either of these meu auy wages as is demanded. The fourth demand speaks of discrimination ou account of political opinions. There was no evidence produced that any such discrimination took place. The fifth demand, that the com-' pany should not alter any existing condition of employment of their employees without notifying the union, ib of a very general nature. No evidence was given by.the union supporting tlie demand or pointing out more specifically the conditions referred to. I do not think it either practicable or reasonable that the company should be required to give such notice. The sixth demand deals with the question of a choice of doctor for a the men. The union produced no witnesses to show that the present system worked any hardship upon any of the employees of the company. This was the only question tlte company produced any evidence on, as its manager had-taken a personal interest aud pride in improving the condition of its employees so far as medical and hospital attendance is concerned. The company went fully into the arrangements made in this respect, aud showed that the change iu the arrangements, which appears to be found fault with in this demand, has operated very greatly to the advantage of the employees and their families. The change spoken of involved the election of doctors by tbe employees, the majority in favor of the present doctors and of the new system being overwhelming, and as a result the men now have a well equipped emergency hospital and surgery at the Mother Lode mine, and all first aid necessaries at the stnelfcpr nnd at the different other properties operated by tbe company. The monthly fee uuder the new arrangement includes a great number of common diseases for which the inen formerly had to pay the ordinary doctor's fees, and the fees for attendance on families of employees have been very materially reduced by the new syFtem.' The seventh demand speaks of the solicitation of thu V, >u<l of Trade and certain individuals by the B C. Copper company, for the purpose of discrediting tbe union. The union cllidals produced a large number of witnesses, members of the Board of Trade, nominally to testify to this point, but quite evidently for tlie purpose of intimidating the trades people aud others called, and of injuring their trade with the laboring class. AH their men stated positively tliat no solicitation of any kind had been made to them for the purpose of discrediting the i.nion, and I find that the management of the company has not so solicited either the Board of Trade or other individuals, as is charged.

Title | Boundary Creek Times |
Alternate Title | [The Greenwood Weekly Times] |
Publisher | Greenwood, B.C. : Boundary Creek Printing and Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1909-06-25 |
Description | The Boundary Creek Times was published in Greenwood, in the Kootenay Boundary region of southern British Columbia, and ran from September 1896 to March 1911. The Times was published first by the Times Publishing Company (1896-99), and then by the Boundary Creek Printing and Publishing Company (1901-1911), and its longest-serving editor was Duncan Ross (1897-1907). In April 1911, the Times was absorbed by another Greenwood-based paper, the Ledge. The Times was revived in 1983, and it continues to be published out of a small building in downtown Greenwood to this day. |
