A GOOD MANAGER R. C. Clute on the Labor Situation in B. C. TEN YEARS WITHOUT TROUBLE O. M. FOX & CO. Columi ia Ave., near Queen St, New Vancouver Coal Company's Record -The Fight of Unions to Organize. In commenting upon the evidence of Samuel Robins of the V'W Vancouver Coal company, taken before him on the Royal Chinese commision last spring Mr. R. C. Clute writes as follows: "Tho company of which Mr. Robins is manager exporls about 80 per cent of their entire output, which la«t year amounted to 580,(100 tons of coal. This statement therefore, comes with great 'orce from one having such large interests under his control, and from the fact that he has • to compete in the open market. Does not tlie method adopted wilh success for over ten years by this company indicate the possibility of running large industrial concorns without ar appeal to strike or lock- with their accompanying evils? VI, ■ Right of Labor. It is now conceded by all thinking n.i. 11 tlie world over that if capital has a right to combine, labor has-an equal righ' Does it not follow that if capital has the right to speak through one man, and that the ablest man procurable for their business, labor has the same right; and how are strikes to be avoided and lockouts prevented if the only parties competent to treat are not to come together, and how are they to meet if the representative of capital persistently refuse to recognize as such the unions and their representatives? A dispute arises, a strike is threatened. If any agreement was in force by which both sides agreed „nat the strike should not take place until eyery other means of conciliation had been tried and failed, are not the chances of settlement immeasurably . greater than where, as now in most cases, tho strike precedes all attempts at settlement, and after great loss, much irritation and usually unreasonableness on both sides, overtures are for the first time made? Villon lleuugnl 1 '" The lime has come w I 1 n unions have the right to be reco;;*i!/.ed, and until this is freely admitted and acted upon, strikes must multiply. A strike is war, always injurious to both parties. In thu liighcr trades and callings unions are recognized, Upon what principle then, can or ought the same right be refused to unskilled labor? When large companies were unknown, and even employers engaged but few men, there might be some reason in the argument that each individual workman must treat for himself, but where the interest of immense numbers and of great capital is represented by one corporation, is it common sense to slill insist that there the individual workman shall not speak and act through an organization that can properly represent him. Tlie Individual'*: Cl-iance. Take a company like the steel trust, that employs several thousands of men, what chance has the individual to protest against wrong, real or supposed?—Universal experience haB Bhown that in such case to protest iB to invite dismissal. Is, then, the individual to have no remedy for wrong, real or imaginary? The answer comes, if he is not pleased with the wage let him go somewhere else, In nine cases out of ten he cannot go somewhere else. He probably has a wife and family dependent upon him, and stoppage of wagesissometimes stoppage of bread. He is at the mercy of his employer, and often chained by circumstances to the spot. If large corporations will not recognize unions, and if consolidations or trusts are to continue todevelop, I think it will be conoieded by everyone who has given the matter consideration that some means to arbitrate disputes must be adopted.".

FIFTY-FIVE THOUSAND IS PAID Who the Vendors and Purchasers Are-Work Will Be Continued on the Claims. Nelson, Aug. 21.—The deal on the Speculator group, adjoining the Arlington, oil Springer creek, in the Slocan city division, was closed in Nelson yesterday by the payment of $4!l,oi)0 by J. F. Col- loin, who throughout the negotiations has represented a San Francisco company known as the Iti- cowilabi Mining company, the stockholders in which include R. P. Rithet of Victoria and a number of wealthy men from San Francisco, the name of the corn- daily heing arrived at 5"V the inclusion of the first couple of letters in the name of each. The total consideration paid was $55,000. The claims embraced were the Speculator, Speculator Fraction, Mineral Mountain, Eda Fraction, Empire and VVeBtside. The vendors of the property were Kirk wood of Slocan; Thomas Kil- patrick, Revelstoke; 0. E.Smlther- ingale, of the Slocan Drill and A.

Paulson Bros. tf SPITZEE RETURNS Thirteen Cartoads Have Been Shipped-Down 100 Feet. The last car load of the Spitzee ore Bhipped to the Trail smelter netted the owners $452 from the smelter From this has to be taken the cost of mining. About 22 tons constitute a carload. In all, thirteen cars have been shipped to date and so far only the 100 foot level has been reached. A ('rials Averted. "Things have come to a pretty pass in Rossland" said a prominent miner yesterday, "when the entire police force of this city has to be called in to, protect a lot of innocent rubber-neckB—married and single -—from the wiles of one poor lone woman." . From hints thrown out by the authorities tho World understands that the camp has been passing through a social crisis but faintly understood by all but a favored few. It is not known whether Attorney-General Eberts has been advised of the matter, but it is now ascertained that tho lady in the case has departed and peace once more reigns in several distracted families. Now that the crisis is over it is only necessary to say that the cause of it all appeared to be very cute in her ways, made a kill*: ing of Johnnie's-son, and from tbe time she arrived here until she said gootl-'eve last night she did nothing b.ut saw wood.

NO GOLD VALUE A Pleasing Discovery at Northport Smelter. • PLENTY OF VALUELESS MATTE Where Has the Gold Gone to?—No. 2 Furnace Out of Business for Some Time, Northport, Aug. 21.—(Special) For some time the smelter management haB been exulting over the shipment of two cars of matte they were about to make. The first products of the smelter operations since May 25th. On Monday last the matte was crushed and sacked for shipment and then sampled. On assaying the sample (here was found to he a total absence of gold values. Consternation reigned, and doubts were expressed as to whether the gold had leaked out into the Columbia river in some of the numerous mishaps, or was still concealed in some corner of the celebrated No. 5 furnace. The matter iB now under consideration by the management. They have decideded to run the matte through the smelter again in the hope of its absorbing enough of the precious metal lo come up to thi* qualifications of their contract wilh tin; refineries in New Jersey. No. 2 furnace went on tbe re- l.liil list for some time to come at 0 a.m., yesterday.

KILLED AT THE SILVER KING Terribly Mangled Between the Cage and the Timbers—An Ontario Man 40 Years Old. A fatal accident occurred at the SHver King mine on Monday night, which cost Curtis Brott his life. The victim of the accident was employed as a machine man and with John Bolilho was at work in running a drift from the ninth station in the main shaft. When being hoisted out of the mine after starting a blast the men did not give the blast signal, and fearing trouble Brott tried to leave the cage and then to get back into it and finally was caught between the timbers and crushed to death. His back was broken, as were both legs and one of bis arms. The victim of the accident had not been employed at the mine very long but was a general favorite. He was about 40 years of age and leaves a widow and five small children in Bracebridge, Ontario. RETURNS LOST. OOnftft lu Cussiur Diatrli-t Will lie Tukeli Over Agulll. Victoria, B.

CIRCUS METHODS The Thimble Rig and the Change Artist's Little Game. The ticket sellers at tbe circus yesterday had all sorts ot prices for admission, and succeeded in getting more than the advertised price asked in several case'. One lady who tendered a $10 bill for a reserved seat waB—apparently—given back tbe bill anil told to pass in. Later the lady found the returned bill was a $1 one, still later the police collected lhe $9 and banded tin* lady lhe amount. A Trail man who tried the tempting little game of thimble rig in one of thc tents coughed up $05 but the police recaptured $50 of the amount and handed it back to tbe Trailile. A r'liiii CI11I111. J.

Address all oommunlcalioiis"*to 'Tames II Fletcher, Manager, P* O. bos .158, Rosslaud, U. C <_» A FAIR COMPARISON. Mr. R. C. Clute of Toronto has written the Globe a second letter on the management of the New Vancouver Coal company as explained by Manager Samuel Rob- inB in his evidence before the royal Chinese commission recently. This is the company which employs 1400 men, officially recognizes the union, and for the past ten years has worked amicably with its employes under a written agreement, the details of which appeared in these columns some days ago. During all the years mentioned there never has been a strike among the employes or any stoppage of work owing to differences betweeu the men and the management. On one occasion a reduction of $20,000 a month was made ip the wages by the voluntary unanimous vote of the men. When times improved the company, without waiting to be asked, restored the original scale of wages and it is in force today. Contrast the successful management of Samuel Robins—who has been 30 years in the business— with the announced policy of Bernard Macdonald, who told the Northport men, through Bela Kadish, "We have decided to break up the union at any cost. You must abandon your union if you work for us." No wonder the Lo Roi manager winced when attention was drawn to the case in question. His paper, the Miner, had the unblushing effrontery to state that, although Mr. RobinB had succeeded with his men, the mine had never paid a cent of profit to its owners. The record of the New Vancouver Coal company has been well known for years, and when Manager Macdonald allowed bis newspaper to publish the untruth referred to he did it wilfully and maliciously. A fair minded man would have made a prompt correction of so palpable a falsehood, but the true facts of case naturally do not suit Mr. Macdonald in his dual capacity of mine manager and journalist. This union wrecker knows full well that under Mr. Robins' management the New Vancouver Coal company, besides paying a dividend of six per cent last year on its capital stock and debentures, has been able to carry over $200,- 000 to its reserve account and has a large sum of money on hand for any emergency which may arise. If the manager nf the Le Roi had been content to adopt modem methods, in place of trying to put back the hands of the clock for fifty years and more, this camp would not be in the trouble it is today. Unions have come to stay, and when the Le Jtoi shareholders obtain the services of a modern manager who knows how to deal with the men they will get good dividends and Rossland will prosper once more. NOTES AND COMMENTS. The Spokesman had a funny ''Geiser" article in yesterday's issue. Mr. Geiser can rely upon a warm reception from all miners here union and non-union. Mr. Clute makes a strong appeal for union recognition as will be seen by his comment on the New Vancouver CoSl case in another column. Bernard Macdonald declares not only against union recognition, but against the existence of unions and says ''we have, decided to break up your union at all costs." Mr. Bratnober has told the Spokesman that the meeting of the English shareholders in the Le Roi companies will take place on August 29th, when Whitaker Wright will be formally disposed of. Mr Bratnober might have added a good deal more, but what be did say was sufficient for the present. We still have some limburger, Swiss, and monetary cheese left. Paulson Bros. tf.

With the fiatist money is a certificate of indebtedness issued by the general government (by all the people) receivoablo by all the people for the cancellation of debts. Not unlike the clearing house certificates issued by the associated banks of new York to and for themselves in cancellation of their debts between themselves during a former panic. As between those banks such certificates were money good us gold. If fanner A takes $100 worth of wheat to the government post and receives $100 in legal tenders in settlement for tbe wheat,such legal tenders certify tbnt^A parted to tbe government $100 of value, and which debt they cancel. So also if B takes $100 in silver bullion lo tbe government mint for which (he government returns him $100 in legal tenders, then such legal tenders certify that I) parted wilh $100 in value to the government, which debt was cam died with such legal tenders. Tbe fiatist proceeds upon the fact that national legal tenders are such ns the people en horse can have a value as a trot ter and at the same time another value as a draft horse. No less an authority than the immortal John Stunrt Mill has this to say respecting the regulation of currency ''The exclusive privilege, therefore, of issuing bank notes, if reserved to lhe government or to some one body, is a source o: great pecuniary gain. Tbat this gain should he obtained for the nation al, large is both practicable and desirablo, and if tin* management of the bank note currency ought to be completely mechanical, so entirely a thing of fixed rule, there seems no reason why this mechanism should be worked for the benefit of any private issuer, .anther than for the public treasury." Tlie evils engendered by chartered banks compared with their utility is overwheming. Under the present system bankers can manipulate and contract circulation at will, diverting money from its proper channels and frequently when conditions are favorable diverting it into more profitable foreign markets. This wealth, loo, after all, is the product of labor, but labor lias no sbnre in ils own creation.

The will of the people is sovereign and to its committee, the government should be safely entrusted lhe absolute control, management and direction of tbe currency. Let the government issue money with its own guarantee. If the government issued money at one percent per annum we would soon hear the last of the money lords under the present arohiao system. A scheme could be easily worked out whereby through the medium of postmasters having access to assessment rolls and title deeds, individuals could secure loans not to exceed 50 percent of their possessions. Money can not be made too cheap. Then would industry "blossom like the rose" and an end of the .conflicts between labor and capital be reached. This is no philosopher's dream.
