First Aid Contest Dominion Day &-■ If August lst, 1908, can be.regarded, as ^Fernie's black-letter day we think that by contrast, July 1st, 1916, may be known hereafter as the Red-letter day of this community. - Long before tbe time scheduled for the First Aid Competition to be started on the Coal Comfiany's lawn, cltitens of all ages and Blzes were seen wending their way to the centre of attraction, and by 2.30 every point ot vantage was occupied by deeply interested spectators. The day's proceedings were given the initial fillip -when Mr; B.- Caufield addressed the audience, stating that he was caleld upon to act in the capacity of presiding officer owing to the unexpected absence of lir. Wilson from town. He then explained the object and early history of the First Aid movement, jind also alluded to the encouragement that had been given by tbe Provincial Department of Mines and for tbe .purpose of providing instructions Mr. Dudley ■Michel!, well-known in this District, ' had been appointed as travelling Instructor, giving both lectures and promoting interest both In First Aid and Mine Rescue Work. The number of teams competing were eleven, four each from Fernie and Michel, and three from Coal Creek, and as a stimulus to the efforts of the contestants, Mr. W. R. Wilson had generously donated three prizes of $50, $30 and $20, respectively to be competed for by the seniors, whilst for the junior teams two prizes, one of $25, and a second Iprize had been provided through the courtesy of tbe Hon. W. R. Ross and Mr. Thomas Williams, mine inspector. As a preliminary to the field work, three" of the gentlemen had been deputed to give a short oral address, and he then called Mr. Stacey, ot Miohel, to the platform, who "made a brief speech upon the subject, thia was followed by an address from Mr. Walter Joyce who gave eome Interesting incidents taken from Ms own experience. &lr. William LancastefSthen spoke at considerable length, giving ainost In- s teresting talk upon the various sub- j^ets comtag .within the 'purview of, -First A|d work. A rather amusing Incident happened whilst Mr, Lancaster .was tf.peakihg. Mr. Spalding, the " photographer,vin order to obtain a good .picture, had climbed upon the Fire -HaU building Immediately apposite and had jufit put his head under the cloth preparatory to taking the view, when * sudden gust ot wind -^Mp»ed;,ott-^-c6ver^g:w»d, hecom- "' r*titMgle^1&Aaea>hy^lrM, tint George O'Brien was the spokesman in response. Dr. Bonnell, after complimenting all the' teams for the excellence of the work -performed, stated that the judges' task of determining who were the winners was far from an easy one, and that his,only regret was that jthere was not' Bomo way of giving every team a prize. He announced that the first prize ($50.00) had been won by team No. 10, of which Joe Hamer, of l-'eir.ifc, was tbe captain; the contest for second place was so exceedingly dose that after consultation -witli .Manager Caufield, it had been decided to merge the second and third prize and divide the amount, giving $25.00 to each Ko. 9, Harrison's team of Coal Creek and.J. Stacey's team of Michel. Miss Wilson then made the presentation to Messrs. Hamer and Harrison, each in turn expressing their pleasure at whining midst loud applause from all present. As a fitting wind-up to a splendid day's proceedings a free concert took placo in the Grand -Theatre with Mr. B. Caufield in the chair, and on the platform with bim were Messrs. J. -Biggs, President W. L. Phillips and J. W. Bennett. The first item on the programme waB a song by R. Sampson, which was most warmly received. An address on flrst-ald work pointing out that the Crow's Xest Pass district was in the van regarding the percentage of qualified ambulance men and furnishing a lot ot Interesting data was d'rivered by Puc'ley Michel. Mr. W. Puckey's comic rendition of Tt.ns-3 Tea brought down the hous-5; Miss F. BaUrr delighted the audUi.ioe with a song, and Mr. T. Biggs also favorc! with ivo vocal numbers, whilst W. L.'Ph}JIips and J. W. Bennett made remarks appropriate to the occasion. At the conclusion a vote of thanks was duly made seconded and carried in favor of Mr. B. Caufield, just as the whistle, for the Coal Creek train blew .its warning, with every body feeling that a thoroughly' enjoyable and instructive day had been spent. \ ' Boys' Team* Contest- Saturday afternoon a goodlv_crnwd The Situation in District 18 As Viewed by District Officers The Internment Camp assembled in the vicinity of the Coal Company's lawn to witness the First Aid Corn-petition between the Juniors deferred on.

During the past few weeks many things have transpired, which have considerable bearing upon the Labor movement of the country, and particularly that section of it known as thc United Mine Workers of America. Owing to our cosmopolitan make up, practically all our organizations have taken on an international character. The reason for same being too obvious to need any lengthy explanation, suffice to say, no labor organization could ever build itself up to any appreciable strength unlesB it were an international organization. There are numerous affiliations and inter-affiliations, said affiliations implying a very close friendship or fraternalism. The topic of conversation am^ng affiliated wo'rkmen often centers around tho idea of having a common understanding, so as to have all workers agree on a plan, whereby they may cense work universally at one time, Avith a view to obtaining redress for the many ills affecting themselves. Again, we have noticed many political congresses attended by delegates hailing from all the important nations of the earth, going on record, ''Re "Working Class Solidarity," "The Workers of All Countries Having No Quarrel With Each Other," "In the Event of War a General Strike," etc., etc. Vet, strange as it may appear, all such resolutions over which many of our brilliant, orators have' waxed eloquent when1 discussing, have been scattered to the winds. Coming nearer home, we find that progressive members of the working class, who pride themselves as being the intellectuals among us, have entirely forgotten the spirit oi" Internationalism, whilst it does not condone their offence by citing the fact that the greatest men. those who are supposed to lead the poor, ignorant worker, have failed to keep inviolate their pronounced obligations. Yet we are compelled to ask ourselves the question: If the cream of the labor world, who have attended congresses, etc., together for decades, fall by the wayside, then can we wonder at those who have not enjoyed such opportunities following suit- The "J5. C. Federationist" in its editorial columns last week, commented on the situation in District 38 as it affected "the aliens." On the whole their criticism is very fair, but possibly unduly caustic. We should remember it is easy to criticize,, but a different matter to sit down in a camp where trouble exists and act thc Moses. We have special reference to the criticism levelled at the "Ledger," because they had the audacity to state "the citizens of Fernie .... ." had taken certain action and not the U.M- AV. of A. As an organ representing irade unionists, "The Federationist" may liave had sonic little thought as to why the Editor thus wrote. In order that the reader may intelligently follow, it may lie well to review what really happened in District J 8, which later led up to partial internment of "alien enemies." The'mine officials at Bellevue laid off a large number of their workmen in order (so they said) tliat the worR*-- which was very scarce, might ke divided Up. It s.o happened that the'ones laid off, on slopping On July 1st the custody of the interns was transferred from the Provincial authorities to the military, -conformably to instructions received from Ottawa.

The sergeant of each shift has charge of and is responsible for the conduct of the men under him. His instructions regarding the treatment of tho interns are that they shall bo treated with uniform cou-Ftesy without, undue'familiarity. Several improvements have been introduced looking to the .comfort and convenience of the interns. Tho rations are plain and plentiful one day: Breakfast—Coffee, porridge and bread; lunch—meat '(■»/& lb.), excellent vegetable soup, potatoes and bread. Supper—Tea with bread and Jam or cheese. The boundaries of the camp have been extended so that tbe men may have a little more space for recreation. On Monday a court of enquiry was established with Col. J. Mackay as presiding officer, assisted dally by tho officer of the day, as per the list given above. j chap. I am sorry to say I can't tell you much about the Ferule boys, expect you know more about them than 1 do. Vou do not know how much I feel about Bob Crlchton. He and I had quite a long talk before the big fight at Ypres, and when he was posted missing I waited every day, expecting and hoping to get news about hhn, but none came. He was a man, every inch of him—steadfast and true, and you know, Jamie, his motto In this bii? fight would be the same as all otber - undertakings he was connected with— "No Surrender!" I never sa* him during the days that fight was on. The following is typical of and ns our losses were very heavy, upon making enquiries of theme wno came out of It, not one of theu. cduld give me any definite information. The fight in which I got my knockout took place about a month after the Ypres affair, at a place tailed Festubert. I can't tell you much about it as I wks in the advance and got hit early in the fight, but if I cannot sa;; much myself, this I have learned trivellng about in hospital trains and movtd from one hospital to another, irom scraps of conversation picked up on.

Of course there are different systems of dividing up work. For instance, Cbal Creek miners "change about" every three days, possibly the Austrians and Germans at Bellevuo are going to ''change about" every year or every decade with those now employed. ♦. We find the next "alien enemy" trouble arose in Pernie, To definitely state how it originated is practically impossible, but evidently there were various jrea- sons.

The order was also applied to Michel, notwithstanding the fact that neither tho mineworkers nor citizens, thero requested that such action be taken- This finally resulted in 317 men being interned. The question of accommodating such a number was not an easy task for the local auhorities, hence the beat that could be done was place them in the Fernie Skating Rink. Xo bedding has been pro- vided for fear of fire, tlieir breakfast consists of porridge, tea nnd bread; lunch, a fairly staple meal; supper, tea and bread. When lhe news spread throughout the District that Fernie had taken a stand against "ali'ii enemies," it appears that a few men in some of the other camps vied with eaeb other in order to bc on. par with Fernie. However, Hillcrest anil Coloman were Ihe only -camps to hold meetings to consider the question. Coleman decided ho take no action, feeling it a question for the Government. Hillcrest citizens had several meetings, culminatiyu in a committee agreeing on a plan later ratified by a mass meeting, which provided that work would be resumed (they having lain idle a few days), the company temporarily suspended all unnaturalized "alien enemies." Hill, crest people petitioned the government tw'have all unnaturalixed "alien enemies" interned. Thus it Will be aecn that only two out of the 20 Locals comprising District 18 agitated for internment.

No rational individual will attempt to deny what we should do, but the trouble is that some of us have failed in our duty. That being the case let us ask a further question: Inasmuch as a fraction of our membership have vio- lated their obligation, are we justified in abandoning our organization! It should be remembered it is very easy to destroy the work of many years. It may bo said that the disestablishment of our organization is the proper thing at this timd, but if we are honest with ourselves we will admit that an organization Is as necessary now as at any other time. We have never seen the time when we felt ourselves immune from the vicious attacks of those who employ us, hence should we forego the organization we now have, even though it is d'nly a semblance of what it really should he, the oufcome would more than likely be ehaoa and confusion- If sneh is at all likely, we must avoid its occurrence. Notwithstanding the fact that some of our members have contravened the laws, there is tho possibility of us cementing our forces as strong as over, especially if the thinkers in onr movement get together aud propagate the idea of solidification. Despite our mistaken, let us endeavor to mould the thought of those who have for the time being faltered 5n their duty. This is necessary for the present as well as the future. Wc should remember that the greater the cry for internment or for any other thing detrimental to those our brothers who are now considered "alien enemies, the more difficult will our task becomo when the war is over. It is aa well that we plainly show the effect of the present internal dissension. Wo have already hnd oral evident* of it from nome of thone who are affected. Some of the internes say point blank: "No more Un.on for me. and al. though we know it i* narrow-nlghted \m\wy to fight an organization and foster racial feeling, still we realize that will he the inevitable result of opposing "alien enemy" workers at this time. Hence, if we have some thought of advaiuement wc should consider the effect of today'* action on the n'O'TfT Wh.n the war In over wo mav possibly see many changes, bnt let us avoid the fight within our ranks at this lime, for hy so doing we will so protect ourselves that we may become impreg- ii«l.le. VnUm wc lako our stand nt thi* time against disruption it can he said of us later, and right, ly no too that onr quietness amounted to acquiescence of that which is going on. Will it not be a tnl'rndid importunity tur the employer in time to eome to eripple any organization, if we now elamor for general internment of "alien enemies"! How easy it will be for the operator, with hii wtlv agent*, with smooth tongues and cunning ways, to foment raeial feeling, and having the know- ledge we have nfnoeiotv. are we not bound to admit that the task of keeping the workera together un.hr «ieh enndlttons would he well nigh impossible. Again, having in mind the wty onr organ!- tation te fought bv operators in the non-union field:- at present, ami elm the vast sunn of money tl at emplover* will *|*n«l to eoiinliw-t tho influence of a powerful organization, la it not reason- able to a««ume that they will spend jnst as lavishly to keep the organizations divided Sn the future!
