The convention of the Western Federation of Miners met on May 20th, at Denver, Col., and was in Bession for two weeks. It was the largest convention ever held of the Western Federation. The officers reported an increase in membership of 2500, notwithstanding the loss in some of the largest centres such as Butte, Mont., and Leadville, Col., on account of the mines being nearly closed for part of the year. Although the federation had been under heavy expenses, occasioned by the Btrike aud lockout at Rossland and Northport, and strikes at Congress, Ariz., at McKay, Idaho, and at East Helena, Mont., during the year, a good balance remained in the treasury. Resolutions were adopted empowering the officers to secure undeveloped mining property to be worked in the interest of the mine- workers, and measures were taken to secure funds for this purpose. It was decided to adopt one universal membership card to take the place of the different due cards and travelling cards now in use. The per capita tax to be paid by stamps placed on the card for each months' per capita tax paid to the secretary of the local union. It was decided to adopt a vigorous policy of education and organization along lines of socialist, political economy. The socialist members of the convention endeavored to secure the adoption of the principles of the socialist party by the federation. The motion was modified, however, while declaring for a policy of independent political action, and recommending the platform of tne socialist party, the adoption of the platform was left to the judgment of the local unions. The action of the Butte Engineers' Union in not endorsing the Btrike of the hoisting engineers in the early part of the spring was discussed, and it was decided the union had acted for the benefit of of the greater number, and the application for a separate charter for the hoisting engineers was refused. Denver was chosen as the headquarters for the next convention, although a hard fight was made by the Butte delegation for their city, Denver winning by the narrow margin of two votes, President Boyce refused to ac- ccpt the nomination for reelection on account of ill-health. Chas. H, Moyer, of Lead City, South Dakota, was elected president, the other nominees being Vinceftt St. John,of Telluride, Col., and M. H. Elliot, of Butte, Mont. Two nominations were made for vice-president. J. C, Williams, of Grass Valley, Cal., and Edward Hughes, of Butte, Mont., resulting in the election of Mr. Hughes. The present secretary-treasurer, W. C. Haywood, was reelected by acclamation. The members of the new executive board are as follows: F. C. Clark, Arizona, District No. 1. L. J- Simpkins, Wardner, Idaho, District No. 2. Phillip Bowden, Butte, Mont, DiBtrict No. 3. D. C. Copeley, Cripple Creek, Col., District No. 4. Otto A. Peterson, Lead City, South Dakota, District No. 5. James A. Baker, Slocan City, B.

MAIN FEATURES UNCHANGED Amendments Made in Committee Make No Radical Change, The Coronation, day celebration committee will meet this evening in the library room at the firehall 8 o'clook in order to receive the report of the finance committee. It is understood that the amount required, inadequate enough, has been practically raised and there will be no more trouble about the money. Several members of that committee see the force of judiciously advertising the celebration and doubtless the matter will be given the earnest attention of the committee this evening. Unless the festivities are well and thoroughly and extensively advertised in all the surrounding cities there can be no Buoceri attained. The affair would be merely local and the prime object of the whole movement would be defeated. At tbe meeting of the miners held last evening in their hall it was decided to make no separate labor day celebration, but on the contrary to make the Coronation day labor day as well. The usual sports of labor day will be merged into the general program and the UBual subscription put up by the men will not be collected and they will be asked merely to contribute to the general fund, subscription lists for which are being circulated at the principal mines in camp. This will mean that there will be a large procession in the city on June 26 and it is to be hoped that the secret societies will also see their way to make a part of the same procession, following the precedent set by Victoria, where 4000 members of the secret societies, gathered from all over the Sound, will form into line. The success of the matter as far as a local celebration is concerned is assured but once more it must be reiterated that were $12,000 put up for this celebration instead of $1,200, unless the fact were well advertised,there would he no other celebration here except one of a purely local character. Victoria, June 11.—The Victoria & Yellowstone Pass railway bill passed its third reading this afternoon and now requires only the gubernatorial assent to give it the force of law. In the committee stage a number of amendments were made to the bill, but itB main features have not been changed since the government withdrew the land subsidy, which was provided in the bill as it was first submitted to the legislature.

Victoria, June 10.—(Special.)— It does seem aB if the Martiniles have gone straight over to Dunsmuir. Dunsmuir left for the coronation last Saturday and tcday Eberts is leading the government. If anything new is mooted Eberta looks to Martin for his cue. On Friday night the bill to give the Columbia & Western railway (C.P.R.) 1,000,000 acres of land to which it is not entitled came up. In the bession of 1900 Martin strongly opposed the Columbia & Western getting a foot of land when that company applied for an extension of time in order to permit it to select its land. Now Martin gets up and champions tbe C. P. R. getting this grant, or rather graft. This company is also to be allowed to take the land (if the bill passes) in blocks of 10 miles square in Yale and Kootenay. In this way it will be enabled to gobble all the oil and coal lands remaining, together with all available townsites, in plaoe of taking the land as contiguous as possible to the land already taken aB per the Subsidy act, chapter 8 of the statutes of 1896, section 6. The land taken in this way will be worth millions to the C. P. R. and no land worth anything south of the C. P. R. main line from tbe Nicola and Similkameen coal fields to the eastern boundary of tbe province will be left. The C. P. R. is evidently not entitled to the land grant from Christina lake to Midway unless it builds half way to Penticton,which it will not do. But it is proposed to make this company a present of the land just the same. Martin spoke last session in favor of the C. P. R. being given the Coast- Kootenay railway subsidy and that no other company was entitled to get it. Taking all these things together there does not seem to remain the shadow of a doubt that Martin is assuredly hand in glove with this land grabbing outfit. Sooner or later the Liberals and others of the province will be as alive to this fact as the Progressives seemingly are. It is now quite clear that the arrangement is that the C. P. R. is to get everything in sight in southern British Columbia,while McKenzie & Mann will farm out the northern half of the province! On Monday Hawthornthwaite moved to amend section 3, subsection K, of the Victoria-Yellowhead railway act, by providing $2 per day as the minimum wage for the poorest class of labor, so as to effectually keep out Orientals, etc. Martin, Mclnnis and Stables, Gilmour was absent, joined the government and promptly voted it down Smith Curtis' proposal to make the railway aid a loan that is being taken on first mortgage bonds on the railway for it, with interest for tho first few years remitted, was in like manner defeated.

Rossland, B. ( JOE ON THE RAILWAY, There are quite a number of elcctorB who have looked forward with conlidence to the vindication of hia curious conduct that Joe Marlin was expected to make in connection with the passage of the railway raid bills through tht legislature. But they are doomed to be disappointed. Joe himself ie the only man wno knows the real reasons for his attitude in this con necUon and he will not tell. The Vancouver World summar izes its political leader's remarkt o 1 the Coast-Koolenay bill, in a few words of headlines stating thai "Joseph Martin made an interesting speech during the debate, bu- never mentioned the railway." Not a minister at all Spoke on tbi bill except the attorney-general, who in introducing it uttered the merest genernlties. Col. Prior, the hit air minister, was conspicuously dumb. The ministers are in no better position than that of the China man found raiding a henroost Tney had the fowl Becured in a bag, but were compelled to drop the booty. There is ouly too much reason, however, to think that the railway bills are to be made a feature of the legislation of next session, when the roost raiders maj be able to outrun the constable,— Kew Westminster Columbian. CITY FINANCES. The city council was wise in deferring any public consideration ol the report of the citizens'committee until it had had time to thoroughly digest the same. There are very many things in it which will call for argument pro and con. It may be taken for granted, however, that the cut in salaries of officials having over $100 per month,especially in those departments which may be termed non-productive, will have to go into effect. It may also be tak^n for granted that if this ie done then the salaries of the school teachers will have to go up rather than down on the very ground taken by the committee which is that a man should not be paid by the city any more than that which has services would command in an outside position. Another recommendation of value is that the city assessor be instructed as to the method of determining the tax to be levied on corporations here, especially those which are in the possession of valuable municipal franchises. That the Hossland Water & Light com pany should be permitted to go scot free while owning a franchise which is worth to it many thousands of dollars annually, is simply an outrage on thu people. It is to be commended that the committee has.not seen lit to recommend the decadent policy fathered by ex-Mayor Goodeve on a larger taxation being levied from the workers who are the men who are keeping ihis city on a paying basis. There is one point, however, to which the attention of the citizens in called to. That is the fact that $2500 is being charged yearly to a sinking fund on debentures which have never been sold on the proposition that some dity they will lie sold and the inrerest and sinking fund will already be on hand to pty them off at thc stated date. If this is not done just as soon aB the debentures aro sold, and thev bear a definite date, a larger sum of mmeywill havo to be raised to meet that sinking fund and thus jio saving will be really effected. Now what is the real nature of these debentures? They were raised under a bylaw to buy out the Rossland Water & Light company, water and light. There was 1 clever phrase introduced into the bylaw which gave the mayor (Goodeve, of course!) power to use the whole of the ' money for the water or for the light or for both. He got it, despite protest, on the plea that the city officials would be able to make a better bargain were their hands free. Apparently this was not .he case. Tbe most valuable part of the franchise was left in the hands of the old company which merely parted with a portion of their business which not only was barely meeting expenses, but vbich immediately called for a large outlay of money. Naturally the company laughed. Whether Goodeve did or did not tho Would does not know, but will bet on that o-entleman's sense of humor. The result of the whole thing has been that the water is now paying a splendid revenue and the city is relieved of tbe direct cash expense of the water supply for fire prc- tection. Had this been done with the light, instead of having the expense of meeting the city lighting that would have been got at cost, a mere matter of bookkeeping.and no cash transaction directly. The point is that this can be done now. Let the debentures be sold. The showing made by the water department will prove that the investment is au excellent one. The city will be relieved of thc expense of the arc lights amounting to nearly $2500 per annum, and this will meet the charge for tho sinking fund. From the rescues of the light it will be able to provide a fund for the gradual extension of the water system and the ultimate building of the much needed adequate reservoir. The department's expenses will not be heavy inasmuch as the engineer is as capable of overlooking its fvp- tem and making as great a success of it as he has of the waler. Thus several high salaried officials now in the employ of the private company will be dispensed with, and the citizens can get the benelit of in the rates for they would be compelled to leave their present positions. The only effect this would have would be to cut down the grant and so lose money! Few teacherB would mean few scholars and that would mean a lessened per capita grant.

The Deceived Workmen's act which has just passed the provincial house of legislature may be considered as a triumph for Smith Curtis who brought it up at tho last two sessions only to be defeat ed on each occasion. Persistence has gained the day. It is to be hoped that at the session of 1903 Mr. Curtis will be able to have the rejected clause reinserted. It is not much uso saying anything about the railway steals that are projected for next session, and those that are being put through at tho present sitting of the houBe. It is evidently tho last attempt of a gang of robbers, aided by Joe Martin, to wreak their last vengeance on the people, knowing full well that with their present record they will never stand the ghost of a show of reelection, and therefore getting all they can before the day of reckoning comes. First there was a conspiracy entered into to compel the government to come to the aid of the City of Rossland, and, incidentally, to shut down tho schools and rob the teachers of tbeir salary. Next, finding the little scheme was badly digested and ill thought out, and that the people threatened to run the conspirators out of office, these interesting citizens have declared that they do not m3an anything of the kind, and want to reopen tbe schools after having driven the teachers from tho city to huut for fresh berths under the idea thnt *.**/%/*«* V%-«-%%*%«'%% Hotel $1 Per Day And Unwards. ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ a.

THE DECEIVED WORKMAN'S ACT Important Bill Regulating Conditions of Employment of Workmen, The following hill introduced by Smith Curtis has just passed the house. It has Buffered some mutilation in its progress, the following important clause having been struck out by the government, Martin strongly concurring: "Failure to state in any advertisement, proposal or contract for the employment of a workman that there is'a strike, lockout or other labor troubles at the place of the proposed em ployment, when in fact such strike, lookout or other trouble then actually exists at such place, shall be deemed as false advertisement and misrepresentation for the purpose of this act." This came immediately after section 3 of which it formed part. Sections 4 and 5 were amendments by Mr. Hunter and as they conferred on the operator no privileges which they do not at present enjoy, Mr. Curtis made no objection. 1—This act may be cited as the "Deceived Workmen's act, 1902." 2—It shall be unlawful for any person doing business in this proviuce, by himself or by his agent or attorney, to induce, influence, persuade or engage a workman to change from one place to another in this province, or to bring a workman of any calling or class into this province, to work in any of the departments of labor in this province, through or by means of deceptive representations, false advertising or false pretences concerning the kind and character of the work to be done, or amount and character of the compensation to be paid for such woik, or the sanitary or other conditions of the employment, or to the existence or nonexistence of a strike or other trouble pending between employer and employes, at the time of, or immediately prior. 3—Any workman of this province, or from a locality outside this province, who has or shall be influenced, induced or persuaded to engage with any person or party mentioned in section 2 of this act, through or by means of any of the things therein prohibited.shall have a right of action for recovery of all damages tbat such workman has sustained in consequence of the false or deceptive representations, false advertising and false pretences used to induce him to change his place of employment, against any person direotly or indirectly causing such damages. 4—It shall be unlawful for any person doing business in this province, by himself or by his agent or attorney, to induce, influence or persuade a workman not to change from one place to another in this province, or to induce, influence or persuade a workman of any calling or class to keep away from this province, through or by means of deceptive representations, false advertising or false 'pretences: (a) concerning the kind and oharacter of the work to be done, or the amount and character of the compensation to be paid for such work, or the Banitary or other conditions of the employment, or (b) as to the existence or non-existence of a Btrike or other trouble then pending between employer and em ployoB. 5 _Any employer of this pro v- ince who has BUBtained any damages, by reason of any of the things prohibited in section 4 of this act, shall have a right of action for the recovery of such damages sustained in consequenoe of the false or deoeptive representation, false advertising and falsa pretences uaad to induce workman not to change or to ohange his place of employment, against any person directly or indirectly canning such damages.

R. did a rushing business last month, says the Nelson News. The sales amounted to 207,153 at an average price of a fraction over $3 per acre.

Travellers comiug through from Michel yesterday, says the Nelson News report that on the north side of the track, where the main portion of the town was situated, not even a post is standing. The first swept along the track from the eastward, and within an hour af ter it reached the town the long line of cottages, three story boarding houses, all of which were built of dry lumber or logs, were blazirg furiously, the flames taking hold so quickly that there was no time 0 Bave furniture or anything. A hard fight was made to prevent the fire crossing the track, tnd although this was kept from the buildings on that side, the heav ily timbered mountains on both sides of the valley of the Michel are in flames from summit to base.
