The strike on the Pacific and Western divisions of the C.P.R. is still on. The centi-es on the Pacific division moat affected are Vancouver and Nelson, the two points at which there are any large number of clerks and freight handlers employed. As far as The Tribune can ascertain, the strike was caused by the company endeavoring to intimidate employees who had become members of the Brotherhood of Railway Employees, an organization t.he company does not wish to recognize. The organization has for, its object the caring of tlie interests of railway employees who are not members of other railway organizations: On the Pacific division the organization has a membership of about 400, and in the membership are men'who have long held responsible positions. The accountant of the Pacific division is a member,. as is -the baggagemaRter, at Vancouver. While the organization is ' comparatively young, no reasonable person. will admit that the-object of tjje organization is an iinprop'einone., If the men in other departments .of railway .ervice [ have found it necpssary to organize in A order**to better their condition, and such organizations \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd are' recognized by Commissioner taking^ and_ marking ch 60 75' as .*> 00 60 00 60 60 so 40 SO 75 60 2 copies of his affidavit, t, folios eacl 3 copies of asscsMiicnt roll 3 copies registrar's, abstract .\".* Org.' notice that petition is fyled and will be presented a copies of same Ins. for motion to-fix date'of trial. etc i _ Drg. notice of motion '.'.'\".'. -\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd'a copies,-;\"i folios each \"7...\" '.AA. -.

The fact that 3rd the people of the East ward settled the president of the organization lives making a showing at moving its business promptly, it is not doing so at any point on the Pacific division at which business originates or is handled to a large extent. At Nelson, the employees of the company who are not supposed to become members of labor organizations are attempting to care for the company's business; but if they are performing duties to which they are not accustomed, then they are neglecting duties to which they are supposed to devote all their time. So far as the Tribune is informed, there has not been a single case of disorderly conduct on the part of any of the employt*es who have quit work,\" but at Vancouver men hired by the company as special policemen have been guilty of brutality, and travelers who pass through the- company's epacious depot at that place feel much as people who have never been in Russia imagine thev would bp sure to feel.if they were in the dominions of the czar. The members of the organization- in Nelson are sangunie of success, but they say that if they are not 'successful they will probably be ahle to get employment elsewhere without surrendering any of their rights of citizenship.

This is most desirable, for the economical working of the metal mines of southeastern Kootenay is dependent on a cheap and reliable fuel supply. Both the coal and coke of the Crow's Nest Pass are of good quality, and the prices charged are not i deemed unreasonable. * t the bill by\" electing James A.

The only men who* appear to have made anything out of the job were lawyers Hannington and Macdonald. 4 00 5 00 More Prospective Candidates. There are more prospective candidates for legislative honors in southeast Kootenay than in all the other ridings on the mainland. The latest names mentioned are Fred Stork of Fernie and Dr. Wilson of the same town. Both are Liberals and both are party-line men. In fact, there is only one Mugwump in southeast Kootenay, and he lives at Fort Steele. so \ufffd\ufffd so \ufffd\ufffd so Sawmill Men Quit Work. A week ago today 36 men employed at the mills of the Robinson-McKenzie Lumber, Company near Cranbrook quit work because of the. words and acts of a Chinese cook. The men say the manager of the company told them that he preferred to keep a good Chinaman to them, and they took him at his word. The manager says he did not know the men ever had a grievance. in San Francisco should have no more bearing than the fact that Peter Arthur, the head of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, is a resident of Cleveland, Ohio, and the head of the Order of Railway Conductors lives at Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Both, these organizations are recognized by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, notwithstanding the fact that their official heads are citizens\"of\"th\"e\"CJnited_States7 The railway company brings no charges of incompetence against the members of the Brotherhood of Railway Employees; no charges of unfaithfulness; no charges of unwillingness to work. The company's only charge is that they are members of an organization that Aaa not been recognized by the company, and that they must either sever their connection with their organization or with the company. Men of spirit could only return one- answer to such a demand, and the men at Vancouver on seeing the officers and prominent members of their organization discharged or changed to remote points on the road, accepted the challenge of the company and are now endeavoring for mastery. That they will succeedisa question, but that they have the sympathy of the public acquainted with all the facts is without question. The company says they have a sufficient force to handle their business without delay, butjsuch statements are manifestly untrue. Two hundred and fifty men trained to special duties at a place like Vancouver cannot be replaced in two weeks. As an instance, three days after the arrival of any of the Empresses at Vancouver the entire cargo is handled and on the way to its destination. One of the Empresses arrived at Vancouver on Wednesday, the 4th instant. The steamer's cargo was still undischarged on Wednesday last, and a boss stevedore was advertising fose 50 men to do the work. The company's system of bookkeeping is a most complex one, and new men cannot learn it in a day. So it may be taken for granted that while the company is this afternoon, Harry Houston of the Kootenay River. Lumber Company received a cut over his right eye that required three stitches. Paul Johnson, who was manager of the Greenwood smelter until recently, has contracted to build a smelter on one of the Alaskan islands, and leaves for the scene of operations in a few days. George McL. Brown is making a repu- tation-as-superin tenden t-of-the-hotel and dining-car service of the C. P. R. If his salary is in proportion to his menu charges, he will soon be building railways for himself in Cuba or some other foreign land. The reported strike of rich ore in the drift on the 1000-foot level in the Ymir mine, near Ymir, if true, will do more to restore confidence in British Columbia mines than anything that the legislature may do in a hundred years. The factory of the Kootenay River Lumber Company starts up on Monday with Thomas Sproat as foreman. The sawmill will be torn down and entirely rebuilt, and then have new machinery installed throughout. The mills and factory of the company will give employment to a large number of men. Nelson has one of the evidences of being a real city at least part of the time. The time is on Saturday afternoon when the small boys who sell The Tribune are assembled in \"front of the stairway. leading to the publication office. Victoria andv Vancouver are not in it, either in the number of the boys or in good looks\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdor in ability to make noises. G. C. Tunstall, Jr., who is the agent in southeastern Kootenay of the Hamilton Powder Company, is back from a month's trip to the Coast. He was as far .south as 'Frisco and as far north as Nanaimo. He saw a number of old time residents of Nelson in 'Frisco, among others captain Gifford and Dr. Quinlan. Captain Gifford is doing well and will probably soon assume the management of a mine in Old Mexico. The Canadian Bank of Commerce Absorbs a Nova Scotia Bank. GrBat interest has been shown in the announcement from Halifax that a provisional agreement has been made under which The Halifax Banking Company is to be amalgamated with The Canadian Bank of Commerce. The latter bank has at present a paid-up capital of $8,000,000, with a rest of $2,500,000, but a week or two ago a special general meeting of the shareholders was called for 14th April next to \"pass a by-law'increasing the capital stock to $10,000,000. Its head office _is in Toronto, and it has now 84 branches thrnm'hont Canada and *the United States, stretching from Sydney, Cape Breton, in the extreme East, to Victoria in the West, and from Dawson 'in the North to \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd San Francisco in the South. It is represented at all the principal .business centres in . Canada west of 'Montreal, and- has its own offices in New York, Portland (Oregon), Seattle, and London, England. .*,,, - Until the recent' establishment of * a branch at Sydney, The Canadian Bank of Commerce had no office in the Maritime Provinces. Its stock,l however, has always been a favorite investment with Nova Scotians, no less than $800,- , 000 of its capital being held in their province. The purchase' of The Halifax Banking Cornpany will give it offices at < fifteen additional points in Nova Scotia, including Halifax, Truro and Windsor \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdin ,fact, all. the more important places. Two branches will also be obtained in New Brunswick\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdat St. John and Sackville. ' - The present directors of,The Halifax Banking Company will continue to give their services in the capacity of a local advisory board at - Halifax, the ' eashier will become\" local manager \".-* there, and the-eritire staff_will,be taken ' *f HiUo^the, 8\ufffd\ufffdr,vice'-,of ;THeA Canadian \ufffd\ufffd-Ba.nk^-\ufffd\ufffd>^ of' Commerce.* There is\" consequently - -* no doubt but that the good-will of the institution is being taken over, along with its tangible assets. Originally established in 1825 as a private partnership, under the same nameKa8 at present, The Halifax Banking Company became incorporated in 1872.' It has retained the friendship and support of many of the old Halifax firms whose predecessors did business with it in its earliest years, and in spite of the disadvantages under which in these days a comparatively small local bank niust always labor, it has built up a sound and remunerative business. It has a paid-up .capital of $600,000, with a rest of $525,000. Its deposits are about $4,000,000, its total assets about $6,000,000, and with the added strength and prestige which its incorporation into The Canadian Bank of Commerce will necessarily give, a large increase in the present business may confidently be expected. _ _The_terms _under_which_the_amalga-- . mation will take place are said to be as follows: After the necessary approval of the shareholders of The Halifax Banking Company has been obtained and all the requisite legal formalities have been completed, The Canadian Bank of Commerce will assume the liabilities of The Halifax Banking Company, and will give in exchange for the surplus of its assets over its liabilities stock of The Canadian Bank of Commerce of the par value of $700,000. Doubtless some of the new stock which The Canadian Bank of Commerce is taking authority to issue will be used to carry out the\" terms of the agreement. Both banks are to be congratulated upon the arrangement which has been made, which must materially strengthen the position of The Canadian Bank of Commerce and add to the exceptional facilities which it already possesses for conducting a successful banking business. When the amalgamation has taken place, it will have a paid-up capital and rest combined of nearly $12,- 000,000, and total assets of some $80,- 000,000,' with 101 branches distributed throughout the length and breadth of Canada, one of which is at Nelson. *.,--,\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd$\ufffd\ufffd.*-\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd*\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Lirl Court Rrglstrar Appointed.

Will it announce a general policy and attempt to\"carry it out? Or will it announce that it will pass the estimates, private bills, and needed non-contentious legislation, then ask for a dissolution, to'be followed by a general election? ' The Tribune has advocated tlie latter course; but as The Tribune is no more interested in the government's un-. known railway policy than it is in' the intriguing that has been going on for months with tbe object of throwing premier Piior. out and placing in his place that great placeman 'attorney- general Eberts, its views are not considered-\"practicable''by the practical politicians who live in and around Victoria. The government will probably meet the house, and it will probably be defeated if.an attempt is made to curry out\" a railway policy. The following- named'are expected to vote for any, .railway policy the government may bring clown, namely, 'Prior, Kbeits, . Wells, Prentice, Mclnnes, Duiismuir, Mou'nce, Dickie, Hall, Hayward, Helmcken, Pooley, Clifford, Hunter, Rogers, and A. W. Smith, a total nf 16. Messrs. Neil!, Stables, and Ellison are in doubt. Were these three to vote 7with .the \"above-named Hi,\" tl ie'J government would be in a minority of one with speaker Pooley in the chair. Can the government win over the necessary number to give it a working majority? No! Can the government secure sufficient support to carry .out the policy advocated by The Tribune? Yen! and no! Yes, if the Eberts intriguers' don't, jump the traces. If they do. no. If they jump the u-ace.s. premier Prior will be up against, it. The Ebons intriguers do not want to t.o to tbe country, and they want to be in oirice when the next general election is held. They undoubtedly, can -secure a majority in the present house. Will premier Prior step down and let them? , The.meeting at Victoria of the Provincial' Mining Association did little more than raise objections to the taxation of mines and allow Kossland malcontents, like E.JB. Kirby and A, C. Gait,' to air their grievances. Of course, the men who work in mines had a chance to give their views, and if any good results from the meeting it may be in the direction of bringing about a better understanding between tlie men who work in mines for wages and the men who pay the wages\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdand there is room for a better understanding, for British Columbia is having more than its share of misunderstandings that tend to cause great loss to people not directly interested in the misunderstandings. Men who work for wages claim they have the right to organize for mutual protection. This \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd is now generally bon ceded them by fair-minded employers. But there are employers, like James Dunsmuir, the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, and the Crow'. Nest Pass Coal Company, who want to have the privilege of deciding as to what organizations their employees shall belong. The employees will not stand for any such interference \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdand this is a free country. To show that it is, the employees of the Crow's Nest Pass Coal Company and the Canadian Pacific Railway Company strike, and James Dunsmuir notifies his hundreds of workmen to look for jobs somewhere else than near the town at which he, has encouraged them to build homes. Surely there must be something radically wrong in such a system, if this is indeed a free country ! \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Nelson, although it has a large revenue, is in debt. Have the members of the council, individually or collectively, made an estimate of the city's revenue for 1903 and how the revenue is to \"be expended? If they have, what savings have they reckoned on making in order to make both ends meet, and at the same time carry out the promised street improvements? Before creating an office to be filled by a high-priced official, the city council of Nelson should first consider the difficulty they have had in getting rid of one small-fry official. If it takes two elections to get rid of a subordinate clerk, how many elections will be required to get rid of] an official who is designated \"collector, assessor, and sanitary inspector\",? \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd. ,'er power 1 8'ona 8iniple resolution affirming the fl.n_, H principle of\"compulsory conciliation .. ; \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd>d arbitration\" might perhaps have sufficed, but it was noticeable that the discussion following the introduction was rather upon the methods suggested than upon the principle involved. Mr. Hodge confined himself to the reading and elaboration of the many clauses of his bill and the necessity for some drastic measures for minimizing the number of strikes and lockouts, and the consequent public injury. Rev. Mr. Graham, who supported the bill in a capital speech, pointed out that, besides the immediate employer and employed, there was the general public who deserved consideration, and must not suffer because of the selfishly wicked or the wickedly selfish, ln a dispute between employer and employed, he said with some heat, the 6ide who was unwilling, to take the public into its confidence was not entitled to much consideration. Mr. Hansford opposed the bill in a temperate speech, and criticized many of its sections as impractical and likely to work injustice. Mr. Ebbs, the new- minister of labor while disposed to support the bill regarded it-as merely a poultice calculated only to ease the pain of a wound to which lancet or knife would have ultimately to be applied. The debate, which taken for all in all, was one of the most interesting and instructive had in the mock parliament, was adjourned on the motion of Rev. Dr. Wright. It will be resumed next Monday evening, when the doctor will support the bill, and John Fraser will express the determined opposition to every form of compulsory arbitration. There will be other participants in the discussion, and - the sitting will undoubtedly be very , interesting. \\ It is easy to preach economy before an election, but apparently a,,most difficult matter to practice economy after an election. The,trouble is the men who preach will not practice what they preach. , SUCCESS CLUB MOCK PARLIAMENT. Mr. Hodge Introduces His Arbitration Bill- New Premier Takes His Seat. The sitting of the parliamentary ad- junct-of the Success Club last* Monday evening.was 'more tlian usually interesting. F. M. Black', the new leader of the house, was in ibis place for'the first time since he became first minister, and made official announcement of the formation of a cabinet and of the measures which woulcl in duetime be submitted for the consideration of the house. The piogramme is sufficiently ambitious and comprehensive. Theie will be a revision of the system of taxation of mines. He will ask the house to authorize the cohstiucl.ion of a line of railway, as a government undertaking, which will open up a'rich and fertile hection of the province, but the approximate location of his proposed railway was- not defined. Tlie new government'will also undertake the revision and amendment of tbe provincial educational system and will introduce a bill to amend the entire system of taxation in the province, dealing incidentally with lands, water rights'} foreshore rights, stumpage, old age pensions and government insurance. These are all live questions, and it will be interesting to note how the amateur legislators of the Success Club, deal with matters which have puzzled those of. a more ambitious sort. Whatever may be the outcome, no slight) degree of courage is manifested in attacking them. ' Following the pronouncement-of the premier came the..discussion of the com pulsoryconciiiatioir.-irrd'arbitral ion\" act, introduced by G. C. Hodge. The .bill'is.a comprehensive one and is designed to remove the cause of strikes and lockouts by the appointment of a secretary of labor and the establishment of boards of conciliation and a court of arbitration for the ..settlement of all disputes and differences which may arise between employers of labor and\" their employees. The duty of currying out the provisions of the \"act is.assigned to a secretary of labor, who is to be appointed by: the lieutenant-govei- nor-in-council, who will.register nllup- SHERIFF'S SALE.

The Nelson Tritmne. TIMOTHY HAY'S REMARKS The Crow's Neefc -Coal Company's miners would seem to be suffering-from too much corporation \"squeeze,\" judging from the statement by the press committee of the miners' union- as published in The Tribune last week. The poor and unfortunate \"directors\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdunfortunate because they are shareholders in a rich corporationthat was literally presented by a grateful parliament with coal lands that were of inestimable value\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdwould rather close down the mines for months than accede to the demands of the miners for a more equitable wage scale. Why? Because their greed for money coined by the sweat and blood of human beings must be satiated. The good, fat dividends must regularly appear that the big shareholders may take in the winter watering places, and, perchance, endow colleges for those who are well able to pay for their education. But the men who mine the coal, who create the fat dividends, who furnish the means for other people's pleasure\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdwhv should their wages be .increased? Let there be none of it! , Close down the mines and let them stay closed, ' and starve the miners down to the last crust! Then they will be submissive, their haughty spirits will be broken, and they will be glad to work' for their masters, the coal barons in Toronto. At a recent meeting of the War Eagle and Centre Star mining companies* in Toronto, president Blackstock made a somewhat' startling(?) announcement, says an eastern dispatch. It was to the effect that if the miners' union would not go 'way back and get tired, if the city of Rossland would not supply the mines with free water (and perhaps the manager with free Gooderham), if the legislature would not change the mining laws to suittheir ores, and if the shareholders in general didn't stop wanting to know \"how about it,\" that the companies would cease operations and would withdraw from Rossland district.. Poor Rossland, thou knowest the worst at last! I.shed a tear for thy inglorious finish. Foi4 the information of Mr. Blackstock, it might be well to mention that the manager's time is so much taken up with\" the game of politics, so \"anxious that Mr. Gait, the.legal end.of the, company, should keep the law continually in motion about something, and equally anxious about the newspaper end of the companv (locally known as \"Barney's Legacy,)' that he surely has no time for mining. Perhaps, forall Mr. Kirby knows, the miners may simply be blasting outa short route to China. , > \" -. A mine manager with a swelled-head and a few nigger-driving shift-bosses are sure to be the cause of constant discontent among the men. And, with die- content, the product will surely be curtailed. It would be more profitable to the company if the directors would pension-off such manager and shift-bosses and instal those who feel that they too are but common clay. It takes brains to mine coal or metalliferous' ores. That may account; in a way, for the promotion of some men to be shift- bosses and overseers. The legislature,, some five years ago, euacted what is known as the \"Truck Act,\" in order that gross abuses might be corrected. But what has been the result? The corporation have been \"wised-up\" by their legal advisers, and find no trouble to evade the law. The \"Truck Act\" is being violated in Rossland today\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdand it always was so. I have in mind a town in the -Boundary where the corporations use their graft. If a man spends his money in a certain saloon, buys his groceries and dry goods at another particular place, or boards at the \"right\" hotel, he can always get _worklinthe_mineH.^-If such is the case \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdand it certainly is\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthen, either the mining company has an interest in these places of business, or else those in. authority get a rake-off. If the former, then the corporations, mindful of their own greed and the helplessness of those whom they employ, would be only too anxious to overcharge those who must buy frem them. The Crow'\ufffd\ufffd Nest Coal management seem to have fallen into, the.ways of Bernard Macdonald and sought \"safety\"jn the spy system. Life was made so '\"warm and weary\" for two known union traitors in the Crow's Nest country that they thought it prudent to leave hurriedly. A system of espionage of this kind could only be einployed by those lacking all the vital principles of manliness and is nothing less than contemptible. If an employer hates the union, let him fight fairly. Timothy Hay. FORSALE CHEAP The Best Hay and Stock Ranch in the Kootenay Country. . .
