Political Unity Is Victory THE DISTRICT LEDGER, PERNIE, B.C., APRIL 10,1915. The New City Council Meets On Thursday last' the City Council elected in Januray last, assumed office. Everything comes to him that waits, if he has patience to wait long enough, so the new Council an-d Mayor have at last reached the coveted positions. ■The following is the personnel of the new civic management: Mayor, Thomas Uphill; Councillors: S. Graham, W. Jackson, W, Roblchaud (members of old Council), E. Barnes, 10. Marsham and E. Brooks, new mem- burs. Upon the invitation ol' the Mayor to be seated, the various councillors dropped into their chair with & sigh of relief and beam of satisfaction that was gladdening to the audience. After which the Mayor proceded to nominate the various committees. Finance—S. Graham, B. Barnes. The first business before the gathering w-as the question of appointing auditors for the city. After much discussion, during (Which it was speedily made evident that the new council had a little more' "ginger" than previous aggregations, lt was decided to leave this matter over for a few weeks and give other firms an opportunity to teuder. The question of Investing certain sinking funds in government stock at 4 ■% p.c, was jeft over for the Finance Committee to investigate. Another matter that was brought up (and left over for Investigation was the -question of affiliating with the Canadian Municipal Association. Tliis was referred to the Fire, Water and Light Committee, who will Investigate the usefulness of this concern and advise the Council accordingly. A letter was rend from Chtef Brown with reference to licensing newspaper j boys, also setting an age limit for lad who play gum machines. The chief suggested that each boy pay 25c. per year and that he be given a tag. Just exactly what the idea of the chief was in making this suggestion was not quite clear, but evidently be had some motive that was not quite apparent to the Council, Jackson ^.jjjil' Qther*couucll!ors sjjnko in-syiiH pathy with the boys and it was eventually decided to file the communication. .The City Clerk asked for leave of absence to visit a specialist In Spokane with respect to his eyesight. The meeting discussed this matter, and several of tho councillors showed a disposition to regard this as a holiday and dock the time. Aid. Barnes, however, poured oil on the troubled water nnd succeeding In satisfying the scruples of those wbo raised objoctlon. The clerk got his leave of absence. The Council decided that Messrs. Lawe and Fisher should have any city legal business for the ensuing year that the city might have, The North Star Lumber Company wrote objecting to certain taxes, and as the improvements upon which the tax was levied have been moved from the ground there is some doubt as to what the city will seize if they attempt to collect the tax. J. F. Spalding wrote with reference to the non-appearance of his book, explaining that his calculations, like those of many others had been upset by the war. After the war Is over we may expect this interesting publication, but as long as,Europe insists on scrapping it is apparently doubtful. The City Engineer's Report was the next iteni'and from this we gather that uiiless something is done Immediately to conserve our water supply we can look for a possible famine during the dry season. It appears that owing to very slight'difference In elevation be- ivveen the reservoir and Fairy Creek it is impossible to get any water into the latter, so that if the Fairy Creek main were to burst, or the bridge burn, the town might experience conditions approaching those of Sahara. The Engineer blamed defective fittings for this condition of affairs and asked the council to pass a motion empowering him to examine all the water fittings in the city and Insist on immediate repair. In the event of same not being complied with, to cut ott water without further notice. He also asked for a by-law governing the water question which would give bim power to ac'l in future. The council, real- zing the gravity or the situation, granted the request without further discussion. The FHre Ohiaf's report was read jjlld th« varlniiii r-aqlipala frnj-lflqiilji***-' HELPING THE MAN AT THE FRONT The following is a list of articles received during the past week: Mrs. W. R.

'*' ■MOOSE JAW, Sask., April 3.—Word has just reached here from Willow Bunch, which reveals a tragedy involving the loss of three lives In a private coalmine 2% miles from this city. Frank Garrett, farmer, his wife and her father are the victims of a peculiar accident. It would appear that Garrett since last fall has been operating a small coal mine on his'farm, It had reached a depth of 278 feet and they had used coal from It all winter. Friday Garrett's farther-in-law went down Into the mine to get coal. As he did not come up Garrett went down and found him unconscious. He came up and sent his wife for help. Mrs, Garrett on returning not finding her husband around went down Into the mine and found Garrett also unconscious beside the body of her father. She had taken a rope with her and while In the act of putting it around her husband fell in sensible. When help arrived and the men went Into the mine they found all three dead from fumes.

The relief question brought Alderman Jackson, who appears to be under the Impression that . we should adopt th*-- "pasa 'emboli" *yateov ot<-| other towns with respect tp indigents.' The mayor stated that while he did hot wish to see the town burdened, he thought that tbere were occasions when they had to grant relief, Irrespective of the conditions under which the parties reached the city. Aid. Jackson wanted to do something towards beautifying the grounds bf the city attached to tbe City Hall, and it was decided to make a grant of $15 to purchase seeds and shrubs for same.

Owing to a misunderstanding with reference to certain foreign brothers, the committee wish J to stare that no distinction is made as .tQ .nationalities. What they de- sire to impress upon all who visit these (tuiices is that they expect them to behaving in a becoming munner, and if they full to observe the usual ru are excluded from the hall on future occasion, On Thursday evening a large number of Fernie miners held a meeting in the basement of the Miner*' HaU for the purpose of organizing a First Aid class. W. L. Phillips pointed out the necessity of receiving instructions in the principles of First Aid training, because those who followed the coal mining industry for their livelihood were engaged in work that was extremely hazardous to life and limb. It should therefore be the desire of all men to acquire proficiency in the art of administering first aid to the injured. In the early days of the mining industry, said the speaker, when knowledge of First Aid was but a name, tunny a miner had lost his life ur was permanently Incapacitated through the ignorance of his fellow workers. Furthermore, it is not sufficient for us to understand the theory only, but wo must make our knowledge of practical value to our fellow men. The science of physics is a wondrous study in itself, but It would lie of little value to lm man kind if It failed to conduct electric light Into the dark places of tlie earth. The same can be said of geology, if it did not assist us In the development of the mining industry. He therefore hoped that Intending candidates of this class would make a determined effort to make it a success. The chairman called upon ..Mr. Thos. Williams, mine inspector, to address the gathering, who stated thai he was not going toxlwell ut anv length on the value of accuracy from the knowledge of First Aid, but he promised the movement every assistance that was within liis power personally to render, and also stated that the Department of Alines was favorably disposed towards such efforts made by the workers, and would give theni everv encour- _ iip-pmonl- 1 The committee, comprised of Messrs- James Taylor, H. S. Phillips. Arthur Hancock, Jos. Leyland and Wm. Huu- ter, have already procured the hearty co-operation of the mine management- ami financial support. Suitable quarters to hold tbe classes have been obtained, as well as the necessary text books and supplies. Forty members have already been enrolled, and it is anticipated that this number will be considerably augmented in the near future. A competition is being arranged to be held on July lst, when prizes will be awarded to the most proficient teams, and it is hoped by the promoters of this First Aid Training that all the camps throughout the Crow's Nest iass will take up this work with thc same determination with which it has been originated in Kernie, namely that every member become a skillful Tenderer of First Aid.

(2) The Board, instead of requiring the employer to make the payment provided for by subsection (1), may require him to give such security as the Board may deem sufficient for the future payments. 32. (1) (When a right to compensation is suspended under the provisions of thia Part, no compensation shall be payable in respect of the period ot suspension. SCALE OF COMPENSATION 33. (1) Where death results from an Injury, the amount of the compensation shall be: (a) The necessary expenses of the burial of the workman, not exceeding seventy-five dollars. (b) Where the widow or an invalid widower is the sole dependent, a monthly payment of twenty dollars. (c) Where the dependents are a wldo'w or an invalid widower and one or more children, a monthly payment of twenty dollars, with an additional monthly payment of five dollars for /each child under tne age of sixteen, years, not exceeding in the whole forty dollars. (d) Where the dependents are children, a monthly payment ot ten dollars to each.child under the age ot sixteen years, not exceeding in the whole forty dollars. (e) Where the workman was under the age of twenty-one years, aud the dependents are his parents or one of them, a monthly payment of twenty dollars, ceasing when the workman would have attained the age of twenty- one years or at such later period as the Board may deem just.

This statement-has aroused no li'.lle discussion in academic circles. The Harvard Alumni "Bulletin" somewhat naively inquires: "Is there something in Colonel Roosevelt's contention?" That there certainly is a letter published In that journal goes far to show.

There was nothing '"wrong" nor''unfair" when lie was in rceeipt of wages which enabled him to [u-n'viile the necessaries of life for himself and family; today when he finds that his honesty, so- riie town of Layland, West Virginia, iriety and loyalty did not meet with lhe reward he I the scene of the last catastrophe of the state, is located about six miles from Quiniiomont which is on the main line Westt Virginia Mine Disaster A Mine Which Never Generated Gas has an Explosion. Many lives lost and Many Lives Saved After Having Been Given up for Lost. This product of our so-called civilization is chronic ami not transitory, as so many superficial thinkers would have us believe. I.'neiiiploynienl is the inevitable outcome of the I'rofit System. The prime object of production of commodities i.s not I heir use value Imt their profit making functions. Profit simply means'that somebody gets sonic-' lliiug for nothing, hence if .somebody gi-ts something for nothing, somebody else gets nothing for something. If we take a whole number (an integer) no"matter how many fractions we may divide it into we cannot by putting all tlie fractions together produce anything greater than a whole number. The above are simple truths that one might imagine would be self-evident to every human being of average intelligence. Strange as it may seem, however, such is mil the case, and whilst ."volumes of printers' ink and innumerable efforts have been expended to remedy the evil of unemployment by re- It'i'in measures, they are not a wli it more effective than that of the dumb-witted creature who cut several inches off the waist of her skirt in order to lengthen the lower part. We have stated that unemployment is chronic, this is indisputable. Of course, we realize that il varies in intensity from lime to time, still, even in the mosl prosperous {'.) times there are always considered himself entitled to receive, he talks glibly aliout "fairness." "justice." and like high- sounding but vacuous abstractions. In order to prevent this type of individual (growing daily more numerous) from either sinking into i. despondent apathy or an irrational anarchist, we must teach him the importance of using his intellect lor enlightenment and his energies for construction, not wanton destruction. The "right to work" bug has mnde considerable impression upon some of the so-called labor leaders oblivious to the fact that the Iron Chancellor as far: back as 1884 said in the German Reichstag: "Give! the woi;)cingman a right to work as long as he has; health, assure him care when he is sick, and furnish him maintenance w-hen he is old," When Otto von Bismarck made this declaration he was not actuated by any desire to further the interests of the working class, but to. stem the rising tide of discontent wliich he feared would result disastrously for the capitalists class of Germany, and yet there arc "leaders." especially in Great Britain, shouting loudly for the "right to work." What the worker should struggle for is the "right tii be lazy," This he cannot accomplish until pro-, duction be undertaken with-use tis its first consideration, then with the marvellous productivity re: sultant from his labors, instead of being forced to indulge in periods of unemployment with all its attendant discomforts, production may be temporarily suspended whilst consumption continues steadily. This is easy to talk about, but hard to accomplish until the workers themselves as a class have reached the conclusion that as they produce all. their's is the "right" to enjoy all. That "right" they'll •everobtain by squealing'about their hurts, but only liy, si inlying the cause of the trouble, and then by Inlving full e^iiitrol of the administration of affairs.

The mine is a drift and 7500 feet deep from the pit mouth to the 10th heading, and no part of the mine was ever known to generate gas. It was regarded by all practical mining men as a perfectly safe mine, with not the slightest thought of danger from any kind of an explosion. An impression got out that there wore three mines affected by the explosion which took place but this is an error for the .reason there is but one mine, Xo. 3, and what were reported as mines 4 and 5 were simply sections of Mine No. 3. On the morning of Alarch 2nd, the men reported for work as usual and there was no thought that within a few hours many of tliem would be hurled into eternity. Iiertolet and Chief Henry and theft associates, tore down the stoppings to reach the 42 entombed miners. It is known that 109 lives were lost and 54 lives were saved. Seven lives were saved the morning of the disaster, .March ,2. Five men walked out on Saturday morning, after being in the mine three days, and the other 42 lives were saved by the prompt action of the rescuers named above. It is not definitely known whether there are- any other bodies in the mine. The good judgment of the leaders of the 47 men who had the presence of mind to build stoppings and keep the -black damp out until relief came, and the active worlt of the West Virginia Mining Department, together with that of the general manager ot the company, had much to do with saving the 47 lives after the men had been imprisoned for three days. Oscar Kerr, superintendent, and hollis Nahodll, mine foreman, and in a liy others rendered splendid service in organizing and carrying the rescue work. The Federal Bureau of Mine men rendered good service in helping to rescue the men who were saved. if there is any movement on foot, as reported from Washington, to give gold medals to the men who performed permanently found, only In work itself. But not in polishing pins and punching eyelet-holes. The brain worker, tho man whose hands are-bust, ed in fashioning things of beauty, the skilled artisan whose every .faculty is absorbed in his daily oqjsupation-i- these can and do find their pleasure in their ordinary work. But he who simply feeds the machine he did not make and cannot repair has no such pleasure; and, under the industrial system, his is the lot of the majority. Professor Walker goes on to advocate a scheme dealing with the unemployed which by industrial education would turn them into a self-supporting army, or production-tfor-use association on a broad basis,—Review of Reviews. PULLMAN PORTERS' SALARY ON PARADE When the news spread that an explo- tl,e most heroic work, lt will be found slon had taken place in the mine con- sternation spread throughout the town. Experienced and practical miners could not realize, nor would they believe that an explosion had taken place; When tlie truth dawned on the people of Layland and the people in that vicinity, many wild reports were flashed across the country. The destructive force of the explosion was not in evidence by numerous falls of roof and slate as had been reported. The only real evidence of an explosion on the outside was that the drift mouth timber had been disturbed. On the inside 300 feet from the mouth of the mine the first body was found with no marks or evidence of violence, but there were evidence that the poor fellow had lost his life from the effects of the black damp.

N'ot all wrong*, he answers, but seriously so. The Labor man,. Socialist or Syndicalist, would, with all his changes, leave Industrialism essentially as it is.

The witness was asked as to the history of the tipping.system apd replied that it did not originate with the Pullman company. "It seems always to have beea. a general condition. ' It didn't originate with us. However, if anybody ls deserving of tips it is the sleeping car,. porter; some of them are artists." it appeared from the testimony that porters are permitted generally to retire at 11 or 12 p.m., and go on duty again at 3 a.m. *' "" ■ - Shining Shoes "Are the porters required to polish the shoes of passengers?" asked the chairman. "No; they are permitted to," answered Mr. Hungerford. Mr. Walsh read from a book of rules by P.*U, Johuson, district superintendent of the Pullman company at Omaha, entitled "What to Do and What Not to Do," In this com'pila- tion it appeared that porters were required to shine shoes and the witness said they bought their own polish. Among things forbidden were the use of toothpicks and tobacco. The porter standing at the steps receiving passengers must stand straight, moist not lean indolently against the car. "Look pleasant," says the rules; don't give the passenger the Impression that It is a mere condescension on your part that he is allowed to ride at all.'1 Be Discreet in Replies. . Other rules are that when a passenger wants to know "how Jong will the train stop here," the porter is not to give the number of minutes, but say at what minute the schedule requires It to depart. When a passenger makes a request not countenanced by the company the porter is not to reply that the company rules forbid it; he is instructed to say that the matter is outside his Jurisdiction. A system of small fines for the disappearance of linens wan maintained to prevent negligence. Last year lost linen, frequently carried away by careless passengers, cost the company $178,000, the witness said. CHICAGO, April o.-^The first government inquiry into wages and conditions of employment of sleeping car porters and conductors was made here today by the United States commission on industrial relations. L. S. Hunger- ford, general manager of the Pullman company, was on the stand most of the day and was questioned by Prank P. Walsh, chairman of the commission. In the first 15 years of the sleeping car porter's service, Hungerford said, he Is paid $27.50 a month. At the end of in years he, like other service employes, automatically receives an advance of ii per cent, which makes his pay $28.87 a month. Bu^s His Uniform In the first 10 years-of service he buys h!s own uniforms, but thereafter the company takes on this burden. A. bonus system gives men with good records an extra monthta pay for the year. The men are also eligible to a relief fund after five years and to the pension list after 20 years, but these provisions are flexible and often applied in exceptional cases, such as disability resulting from train accidents. Mr. Walsh then brought up the sub- ject ot tips. "Do you expect the public to pay the difference between these wages and a living wage?" he asked the witness. "No, sjr, I don't think that was considered," the latter replied. Heard No Dissatisfaction "You thought them satisfied with these salaries?" "No, I wouldn't say that; we received no expression of dissatisfaction from them," replied Mr. Hungerford. "Is $27.50 enough to pay any man for a month's work?" continued .Mr, Walsh.

COLEMAN LOCAL The' congregation of the Catholic Church held a social and dance ln the Church Hall on Monday evening. It proved u,decideil success In every way and Is likely to be repeated soon. A concert for the benefit of the Utrls' Athletic Club was, held in "the Rex Theatre on Monday evening, when a company of local talent provided the entertainment, There was also three reels of pictures shown. The various items were well received by the large audience. Thero was a poor attendance at the entertainment given by the Eckhardts, musicians and violinists, In the opera house oh Wednesday evening. Considering the excellent program, they deserved a larger audience than was present. ' ■ ■■' ' At the McGillivary Co.'s mines it is expected that all the old hands will be started within a week, while prospects are no brighter looking at tlie International Co.'s mines at present. A European war on a small scale occurred on ,Mnin Street on Tuesday afternoon, knives, rocks, billiard cues and balls being the weapons used. Judging by the patching up Dr. Ross had to do after, they seem to have been effective. Six and a half dollars was the penalty in two instances. A public meeting was held in the (■rand Union Hotel on Tuesday evening for the purpose of forming a Fishing Clu'b. It was moved that the na.me cf tlie club be the Coleman Angling Club. The following officebearers were were sleeping. At first that good lady thought the noises were caused by her husband comiug in from work, but on seeing the stranger, she threatened to shoot him dead if he did noi leave instantly. Then jumping through the window she ran for Harry, who arrived in time to see the burglars beating it at a distance. In uo case, however, did the burglars take anything but foodstuff, and seeing that there are several starving in the camp, and hunger is a sharp thorn, the victims of the visits are taking the matter philosophically.. About 7 o'clock on Saturday .even- ing a serious stabbing affray took place in Slavtown, the residential quarters of the foreign element at Beaver. Apparently two brothers named Albert Kobza and Tom Kobza, found themselves the proud possessors of a quart bottle of whisky, and along with a few of their countrymen were indulging not wisely but well. Soon, however, Tom Kofoza, who is of dlm-imitlve statue, made a savage attack upon his more powerful brother with a medium size pocket knife and stabbing him in the thigh, made a gash four Inches long by two inches deep. He lifext plunged the" weapon into the left breast of his victim, In the vicinity of the heart, but slightly higher than that organ, leaving a wound two inches i.eep; he then gave him another jab over the top rib, finishing with a gash In the throat, just missing the jugular vein. Albert appeared1 powerless to defend himself, and had any of the plunges struck a vital organ they might have/proved fatal, as it was the victim lost an enormous quantity of blood before it was stopped. Con-' stable Wishart was quickly on the scene and arrested the culprit, and John Loughran took charge of the patient, while Harry Drew went for Xtirso Terrio. The nurse had a difficult tusk to perform, but she did her work well and the patient was removed to Pincher Creek Hospital next morning, where Dr. Connor found it necessary to put :!0 stitches in his mangled body. Tom was tried at Pincher Creek on Monday and remanded for seven days. Albert Kobza was well respected, being of a quiet and kindly disposltioii. George Morley quit the mine this week and is going back to thc land. Sam Grosso is at present looking for a better market for his labor power. -Ben Hitchen left Coalhurst this week for Nova Scotia. Corporal T. Clapham and Trooper Blakey were weekend visitors to Coalhurst from Cardston. ■Mr. and Mrs. James Lindsay left for Bonnie Scotland last Saturday night. A farewell gathering of friends assembled in the Dance Hall under the auspices of the Social Club on the eve of their departure to bid the couple bon voyage. On March 29th there passed awaj, after only a short illness, Sophia, wife of John Gordon. Deceased was a member oi the English Church and the Ladies' Aid, and will long be remembered by the community where she lived by a wide circle of friends, by all of whom she was held iii highest esteem, She leaves to mourn a husband and family of five. Much sympathy is extended to the family in Ihelr sad bereavement. The funeral took place on Thursday, April 1st, from Saint Cypian's Church, Lethbridge, and the remains laid to rest in the South-side Anglican Cemetery.

One of the railroads in particular has adopted methods that are wholly coercive In practice, although the company maintains the men voluntarily sign the petitions. Stories have come to us of the measures used by subordinate officials to persuade the men to sign the protest against the continuance of the Full Crew Law. •Statements are made to the effect •that, if the law remains, wages and working forces will be reduced, equipment will not be bought, safety devices itended purely for the protection of the passenger will not -be'installed and that contemplated improvements will have to °be abandoned. ! This is a combination of reasons that usually will appeal to the man who takes what he reads without analyzing its truth or purpose. The members of the Legislature of the States directly interested should not overlook the fact that petitions com--, Ing from employes are usually obtained under duress: that the man who signs a petition does so for the most part in the belief that if he does not sign he will either lose his job or be embarassed in some way or another. In this latest proclamation to the public, the railway companies have followed one of the most appealing and deceptive programs that could have been devised.

Eating between meali ii a frequent cauie of indigestion and intestinal disorders, because introducing a fresh mass of food into the miss already partly dissolved arrests the healthy action of the itomach and causes the food first received to lie until incipient fermentation tatces place. The liver, unlike the stomach, is constantly secreting, and when too much carbonaceous food has been taken, the bile becomes too thick and consequently unable to perform its office.

Another man is needed In order lo enable the rear of the train to transmit signals to the engine. When a train Is more than forty cars tn length, lt Is impossible to signal from the engine to the caboose, especially In giilng around a curve or in stormy weather. We would Hke to ask the public to consider how many improvements have been made In the way of adoption of safety appliances, elevation of tracks above grade, how often wages havo been raised without either law or tbe combined insistence of tbe employes. The publlo reads with horror the story of tte war In Europe; It de. mands thst tn future all wars cease -because of the terrible slaughter. Tbe (Brotherhood, of Railroad -Trainmen has a membership of approximately 133,000. It is no Idle gu»M to say tbat in tbo part year Mily IS por cent df these men have bean without employment end 36 per cant of tba remainder bave been working on pan time, and yet the organisation oomes to the end of the year with o reeorjl of 1,100 claims' paid for total dliabll- Uy or dealh. We positively know Out two-thirds of the claims wore nald because of acoldants not death directly arising ont of tbe service, and It li safe to say that twoHblrda of tht re- nalnder bad tbelr origin In exposure or Injury sustained while In M\* road service. If there ie a bettie between large armies on the comment that reports a eatetlty record of 3,000 for half a million wen engaged, the world demands that alt web oa- necessary slaughter cease. Caa It be blind to the economic effect, nil other considerations set aside for the mo- meat, to the total vage earning losses tb»t must ensue because of t*wm hundreds of men who aft ktfed or to- tally disabled in the pecfomsaw of tbelr dity? ttor mny have Its eseseet. hat the peaceful pursuit ot an oeenpeMoi thai hss for Its ultimate object Uie maintenance of a standard of living, lhat every clU«en ot this eoentry accepts Suppose the profit sharing plan were adopted in a few large corporations, I say a few because I don't suppose any one will imagine that tt could be adopted all over any one country at the same time, and suppose that the faithfulness of the employes ot a given Industry enabled "their company" to best their competitors, what would be the effect. Some Industries v.ould go to tbe wall and their employes would be out of a job. With the Increased efflcleuey ot the workers In the successful company, It would mean that only a part of those workers of the defeated Indus, tries could find work. And only those wbo were in a position to move to tho town where the work bad gone. No matter what kind of a scheme is adopted. It will certainly not creato new markets or Increase tbe demand of Uie consumers to such an extent that It will prevent aa Increase In the army or unemployed. Unless the workers receive an Increase In wages to equal tbelr tncreas. eo efficiency their production will be ao much more greater than their power of consumption and consequently more "over protection," Looking at this question from an International view* point, it Is easy to understand why tb* interests of Labor and Capital aiu not Identical, even ia the sphere ot produc* tion. aa some labor leaden Imagine tt la. So many epprentlees to so many Journeymen, no Taylor 8yetea, no piece work snd no bonus system are the demands of Labor wbleb widen the gulf between Ibe Identity of Interests at the point of prodectloa.

Sanderson Furnlss, in the; Economic Review, discusses "Copartnership and I/ibor Unrest" with great fairness. -Mr, Furniss does not beg the question, but straightway admits that:— "The.root cause iu to be found in the fact that a section of the working classes—still a small section, but consisting of the better educated men and those who think—are convinced/llke the advocates of co-partnership themselves, tliat there Is something radically wrong with the system under which Industry Is today carried on. The great mass of the working classes are no doubt still quite apathetic with regard to social questions in general, and even to such as Immediately affect themselves. But the men who think are not going to be contented with a system which cannot, except in very exceptional, cases, give'to a working man more than £100 a year, no matter how hard he works, nor with what abilities he is endowed—a system which gives him little leisure and few of the -means ot enjoying life. Labor unrest will not cease until our industrial system is modified in such a way us to give the working classes a larger share of our Increased wealth and of the good things of life than they .have been obtaining. It is not merely a question of wages, but a question of life; not merely of wealth, but of well- being." * This is well said, but the cure is yet far to seek, and co-partnership ;an only succeed under conditions whk.li do not as yet subsist. This the writer recognizes when he states the ca&e of the trade-unionist: "It is also essential that they should be able to come out on strike In support of fellow-workers employed by firms where conditional are bad.

Zain-Bak Unanimously Endorsed. A prominent»Woman's Journal re> eeut'y askt-d its lady readers to giv* an opinion, based on personal experience, of several .widely-known Canadian products. The publishers recently wrote the proprietors of Zam-Buk tb the' following effect,—"In connection with' our competition, we have received in the neighborhood of 12,000 letters. We do not know of one in* stance where the' proportion of satisfied users of any product waa so great as proved to be the case in regard to Zam-Buk." ' ',.

No a&ount ot advtttHlng, no 'mere assertion on -Our \-part could create such unbounded confidence ln Zanv&uk an,, ttyme Canadian housewives have expressed. Only the plain, straightforward test ef -Zam-Buk ln the home conld do this. Zam-Buk Is entirely different to all other ointments. Most ointments contain coarse animal fats, tn some cases these fats clog up the pores of the skin and retard its action. Zani-Buk ls purely herbal. Many ointments have no antiseptic properties, cannot ease the pain, and in faot cause pain when used. Zam- Buk, on the other hand, ls antiseptic. As soon as applied to a wound or sore it kills the germs, thus banishing all risk of blood poison, and ends pain. Zam-Buk, unlike many ointments, contains no poisonous coloring matter, no harsh minerals. Zam-Buk ls superior to all other ointments, because it is purely herbal, nnd Ib healing, soothing, and antiseptic. It you suffer from auy skin disease, injury, or chronic sore, remember the 12,000 letters from housewives who have proved Zam-Buk.

Tlie most, therefore, that the workers can obtain ln wages is the total product minus the mini-. mum wlijch is necessary to Induce capitalists, landowners, etc., to UUe part iu that'industry. More than this thoy cannot obtain through any scheme of profit-sharing, unless, they obtain it through the phllanthrophy of capitalists and landowners.—Review of Reviews. work would mean loss of profits and to leave the firm might mean loss ot capital, for shares would often be difficult to dispose of, and might have to be sold at a loss. The sense ot solidarity amongst the workers will be weakened, and loyalty to fellow- workers." t * Mr. FurnlBB gives the scientific basis of the co-partnership ideal: "EJdonomlc theory, however, doss seem to ahow that the largest share A MISTAKEN IDEA There arc some people who still resort to drugged pills or alcoholic syrups to overcome colds, nervousness or general debility, aud who know tliat the pure, unadulterated «ourfoluneut*4» * Scott's Emulsion is eminently better, but refrain from taking it Ix-cause they fear it may lead to excessive fat or obesity.

That saying of one of the most useti.il of American educational leaders applies with a special force to the serious industrial (juestions of our time, and in particular to such a situation as exists in Paterson, Xew Jersey. * Xo more serious error can be made than that of refusing to understand that which one dislikes or opposes simply because of the dislike and opposition. However contrary to the spirit of the American people such a movement as that represented by the Industrial Workers of the World may be, however heartily the American people may wish to oppose it and frustrate it, the American people ought to understand it. Even should it be granted that this movement is an enemy of the people, its methods, Its purposes, its spirit, should be understood. Whether we regard It as a democratic uprising on behalf of liberty and justice, or as a sinister menace not only to property but also to the welfare of all individuals, rich and poor alike, we should welcome a knowledge of the facts concerning it, and of the feelings and ideas of those who are taking part In it. Mr. Mason's account of the conditions at Paterson which appear elsewhere in this Issue will, we believe, help to explain that strike and Its accessories. Those who will read -this piece of special correspondence from Paterson w:ill, we think, realize that strike, like the strike at Lawrence, -Massachusetts, is not an isolated Industrial disturbance that concerns only, or even chiefly, the local mill- owners and employees, but is a sign and symptom of a new force that is showing itself in this country as It has shown itself In other lands. This force is tne force of ah idea, not to say an Ideal. It has some of the characteristics of a religion, Like most If not all great religions, it makes its first and intensest appeal to the lowliest and hunvblest members of Society; it has a vision of what Is going to happen some day to demon- tlmt ihis struggle should be carried on by means of legislation as wall a& by strikes and the like; while '.he Syndicalist says it is wor-je than useless tj resort to legislation, for the State itself is capitalistic; that there is. therefore, no other means uiat is legitimate except that of direct accio-1. So \\liile the political Socialist is building up his party and trying to seci-re more votes for Socialist candid iter** ihe Syndicalist is busy among the wirkers, teaching them how to strike most effectively, how to use their weakness mid their poverty against the strength und the wealth of tlieir employers. In the mind of the Syndicalist every strike is justifiable, for so long as there are such beings as employers every employee has a grievance. Here comes a sharp distinction between the Syndicalist and what we Americans know as trades-unionists. •The ordinary trades union man recognizes the existence of the wages system. What he wants from his employer is a fair day's wage for a fair day's work, proper conditions under which to work, compensation for accidents incurred in the course of his duties, and reasonable certainty of employment. When the trades-unionist strikes, he strikes for the purpose elthor of securing some such specific advantages as these, or for the purpose of forcing' the employer to recognize the union that is formed for the purpose of securing such advantages. The Syndicalist has a very different view. Of course he wants to get all the advantages that he can, but these am nl! incidental to his steady inarch on toward a goal which means abolition of the whole capitalistic system. When the trades union orders a strike', i* is In order to secure certain specific,, demands which have been made upon tha employer. When the Syndicalist j orders., a strike, there may be no demands formulated at all. It may be a strike simply to show ...thfc strength of ti>e. employees, lt may be a strike, to irritate ani annoy and harrasi tho Ueve that wholesale -and generalized attack on theni can take the place of clear understanding of their purposes and, their practices; It is also clear 'o us that so long as there are employers who treat labor as a commodity instead" of as human beings, who resist all effort of laborers to organize to secure their own rights, and who regard, the industry in which they are engaged as their own private possession and disown any interest on the part of the employee in the conduct ot the business, there will be reason for, expecting that such a- movement as that of the Industrial Workers or" ths World will continue. But one wrong does not justify another; and tiie n-medy for industrial injustice is not to >be found in private war.—Revie.v < f Reviews. KARL LIEBKNECHT By David Fulton Karsner Karl Liebkaocht ia both ;. man jid movement, ills mortality has made him immoral. I: is extremely doul.t- ful If the his;oriar.s- of .the present European war will record his name among the -lii-oes. He wi'.l probably be mentioned < s 'i traitor lo the caii'ia of German i.atlo-ialism in its -larkest hour. Liebknecht is one of those n-en who kiuw no natioinlisQi. He knows only ,he ;;eople. lt was expected of '\[ n ilia; he -.v-juit'. serve Germany by voihg for new war credits: Instsvl, i:. the RV.cistaq le regisered his protest against monarchical rule and served the people. "The war was not desired by any of the people affected, nor was it kindled to promote tiu welfare of fie Germans or any other people." Liebknecht was speaking to the parliamentarians, but he used the voice of the people. The majtic of his personality fades before the truth of his words. His was not an appeal. His was a fact. Elected by the disinherited class of Germany, he sought to bring them-into their inheritance. You serve humanity if you'talk peace,when there's no war. But you commit treason when you talk peace 'when there is war Liebknecht is guiity of that. He planted his cross in the Emperor's parlor and awaited sentence of his crucifiers. He may be sent to the front to take his chances with the fates of war. There is no bayonet sharp enough to rend the spirit of the people embodied in this soldier whose patriotism challenged autocracy, ignored nationalism and boundaries, and with golden threads of fellowship linked itself with the rising tide of democracy. "The war is a Xapoleonic attempt to unnerve and crush the labor movement," That was Liebknecht in the Reichstag. That was Christ on the mount. That was Wendell Phillips in New England. That was Lincoln in Washington, That was Debs in Terre Haute. That was Pankhurst in London. That was the outcast, the accursed and accused, the exploited everywhere. How similar are their utterances. Only the emperors and lords were silent. And the rent takers, interest makers, profit worshippers and exploiters, they were, silent, too. Labor spoke. He stlrreth up the people, was the charge. And labor was sentenced. But the resurrection? You did not reckon that, you unjust governments, your warriors and kings for a day. Karl Liebknecht symbolizes democratic labor.

There are streets to be laid out, improvements to be made; the city should extend its water works, gas plants, electric-light and power plants.

A very similar propaganda, Dr. Katzman claims, was carried on ln the Russian army and navy during the Russo-Japanese war. The effect of tho agitation was quickly demonstrated during the revolt which follow- ed the conflict. The Czar's gov- ertunent found Itaelf deserted by thousands of its most'loyal soldiers who sided with the peoples' cause. By many the Japanese, victory over tbe Russians Is even attributed to the work of,the Czar's Internal enemy, the rebels. ' However, the Russian woman in the revolutionary movement ia not a novel element by any means. As far hack as the early 80'b she was already prominent In their councils. At that time, when the people atill blindly hoped and trusted In tho "Little Czar," lm ml mis of women rebels went among the people to diffuse knowledge and Inspire ihum to a greater freedom. They were not children or the poor who felt the curse of poverty, but descendants of aristocratic families, Somo of them were related to the royal houses of Burope. Out of the t'.t'ltl-* and shops and factories they went, and there,'working and living among the tollers, spread the flrat netti'it of discontent. In th!,* iirlv.inre iftnrd nf orn^tttrnntla were mich women as Maria Bplrt- donova, Vera Sassulltch.

Indeed, she ls the grandmother of the Russian revolution. For more thnn forty yenrs she hns relent Ie«*ly fought for liberty, defying Jail and gallon*.

Peter and St. Paul, Schlluselburg, Riga, Moscow and others: when the many graves of the far, northern Siberia are Investigated, only then will the world learn what an important part the Russian woman played In the Intense struggle for liberty. More than twenty-five years before Mrs. Pankhurst made her entrance as a militant,, the Russian woman fought ft bitter battle for the freedom not only of the woman, but man alike. Long before militancy was known in England have tbe Russian women utilized the hunger strike ns n means of gaining concessions from the jail authorities. Rut they wore not ns fortunate as their English sisters! The Husslan Cossacks know no gallantry. The Russian government understands not the meaning or ft "Cat and Mouse Act." A whole volume can be written about the dreadful hunger strikes in the dungeon* ot llie Czar's prisons. The Russian Government, however, la not as tolerant as U the Kngtlsh. If the women wish to starve, they may do so. Forcible feeding: ts not known in the Russian jail*. How many prisoners have died from such strikes will never be known, hs no reports aro ever made. The lust revolution In Russia demonstrated the courage of the women. With the i uthuslasm known only to them, they mounted the barricades fighting alongside tho men, facing bayonet and bullet. The sacrifices of wonien for the cause of liberty constitute one of the darkest, and yet one of the most hopeful, chapters of llnsstnn titatory. inner beyond comparison has keen j the loi of the woman In the land ot tlw Rmss.

Tliey harbor no illusions. They are fully aware of the price they are to pay, but they are eager for the battle. Now the toscin of rebellion is sounding throughout the Russian empire. The opportune time has come and the women are calling upon their Soldiers of freedom to make the last stand. They are ready to make history. The hundreds of thousands of Russians In the United States, Dr. Katzman claims, will rally to the support of their sisters. They have not forgotten, nor can they possibly forget, Russian absolutism. Many of those who have found peace and shelter here, have brothers, fathers and relatives who are participating in the war, Their thoughts constantly turn to those they have left behind. Tears dimmed the eyes of many as news of the strife reached them. - Hope mingled with fear. Tbey dread the thought or the dangers and possibilities. Rut they are all ready to support, nay, finance the rebellion, While no attempt has been made by the Russian women here to collect monoy for thc Red Cross Society, thou- ts.ttids of dollars have been gathered for tho cause of tho revolt. It Is j estimated that more than 130,000 Is i being forwarded yearly from .Yew York j alone for the furtherance of the revolu- '.i'-ju .1i.1i Ui, vialiu*. In *<****> ul mh outbreak, however, according to the representatives here, several hundred thousand dollars could be collected without difficulty. Hut money Is not tho only thing Uie ! United States will contribute toward the liberation of Romanoff's subjects. There Is a small army ready lo return, while a goodly number hare re- turned already. Kvery one of those recruits has gathered his Ideas of liberty in the Isnd of t'nele Sam.
