The good\nsoldier never tries to distinguish right\nfrom wrong. He never thinks, never reasons; he only obeye. If he le ordered\nto fire down a crowded atreet when\nthe poor are clamoring for bread, he\nobeys, and aeea the gray hairs of age\nstained with red and the life tide\ngushing from the breasts of women,\nfeeling neither remorse nor sympathy.\nIf he is ordered off as a firing squad\nto execute a hero or benefactor, he\nfires without hesitation, though bs\nknows the bullets will pierce the\nnoblest heart that ever beat In a human breast..\nA good soldier is a blind, heartless,\nsoulless, murderous machine. He Is\nnot a man. He Is not a brute, for\nbrutes only kill In self defense. All\nthat Is human In him, all that la divine In him, all that constitutes ths\nman, has been sworn away when he\ntook the enlistment roll. His mind,\nhis conscience, aye, his very soul, sre\nIn the keeping of hie officer.\nNo man can fall lower than a soldier\u00E2\u0080\u0094It la a depth beneath which we\ncannot go.

Miners\nrefuse, to work in the American-owned\nmines st Nsnalmo, thus threatening\nthe prestige of the British flag, In the\ncoal markets.\nFurther thsn this, some of the miners, having bee.n stung to desperation\nby tbe Insults dally heaped upon them\nby the editorial and other lackeys of\nthe said American owners, have undertaken to beat up a few scabs and scab-\nherding special police; much to the\ngreat surprise of the latter, who are\naccustomed to having it sll the other\nway.\nAll of which Is very bad for the Empire and requires fixing. Who is to\nHx tt? Why, who but the ever-ready\nfriends of honest patriotism, the will-\nlnfl brothers of sll who oppose \"outside interference,\" \u00E2\u0080\u0094the slant-eyed\nnon-citizens from the Celestial Empire.\nThe Western Fuel Company does not\nlike Interference ln its affairs, (especially from government officials) so\nit csn open its mines with Chinamen\nif lt wishes. Provided it can connect\nthe Chinamen with the mines. It\ntully expects ln this difficulty to have\nthe protection of our good government\nwhloh doesn't like anything foreign\nexcept foreign money.\nEverything Is expected to go off\nquietly, Nanaimo miners being noted\nfor quietly allowing themselves to be\nflattened out, and ln a short time the\nmines will doubtless be discharging\ntheir full quota of coal and dead Chinamen. This happy event will be duly\ncelebrated. Plans are rumored to be\nunder way for the production of a\ngigantic special Imperial edition of the\nDaily Herald, printed in Chinese In\nhonor of Its saviours.\nA magnificent picture, lt Is said, Is\nbeing prepared for this number, showing the Western Fuel Company, disguised ss a burglar escaping to Canada with a hag full of United States\nrevenue.

They\nwill throttle Finance and seize the\nmachinery of , reduction for themselves. vVoe betide the schemers khen\nthe people arise.\"\nBut he was mistaken. The workers\nreceived him coldly. They said he\nwss a grafter. Things were bad all\nright but that could not be what was\nthe matter. He was unpatriotic and\ncouldn't possibly be right He was\nagainst the flag and the Church and\nshould be hanged.\nThe newspapers made a great feature ot bim for a while, then proved\nhim a liar and allowed him to be forgotten. He learned that the masses\nprefer to be lied to, they do not wsnt\nthe truth,\n\"So,\" said the men to himself, \"they\nappear to like It. They wish to be\nfooled, robbed and murdered.

When deer are numerous, the cougar congratulates himself upon being well-to-do. The deer,\non his part, Is ln comfortsble circumstances If he happens across a profusion of delectable vegetation. These\nanimals are unable to stimulate tbe\nproduction of their varieties of food,\nand must perforce depend upon things\nss they happen to be.\nTheir, to his own notion, Infinitely\nwiser brother, Han, has besn able to\nconstruct for himself Instruments\nwith which he increases his food supply far beyond even hla own imagination. He, bas discovered the energy\nIn the falling stream and the heat of\na lire,' and has seised it for his own\npurposes. With mighty gases, fashioned to do his bidding, he thunders\nhis way through the bills and makes a\nroad for the transportation of his products. <\nYet this powerful cresture ts not\nhappy, nor eieo well fed. Anxiety\nrests always ln his eyes. Over what?\nMainly over food\" And the strangest\nof It Is that his misery Increases along\nwith bis food supply. When millions\nof fish swarm tn the rivers, .when miles\nof stalks bend with the weight of\nripening grain, and branches break,\nunable to oarry the luscious fruit that\nhangs upon them, then Man's voice Is\nheard loud ln tbe land crying for food!\nWhy?\nBecause, when there is plenty there\nare no markets and \"things are cheap.\"\nIt does not pay to finance; money Is\nnot available; pay-rolls are curtailed;\na spell descends over the world, so\nthst msn Is enjoined from seising hold\nof his own products and satisfying his\nown hunger. He Is the victim of a\nsavage superstition. He will not eat\nunless the terrlblo dragon that he, ln\nhis childhood, hss been taught to reverence and fear, flrst hss Its flit.\nThe nsme of the dragon Is Finance.\nIt has three heads\u00E2\u0080\u0094Rent, Interest and\nfrollt, each of which Is Jealous of the\nother, but sll thrse Jaws constantly\ngspe for human sacrifices. This Is\nwhat makes man actually suffer from\nplenty, snd makes him, w,ch all his\nwonderful tools, seem a puny thing\nbeside the creatures of the forest.\nA REAL WHITE B, C.\nIrreverent persons have at times\ngone to the length of questioning the\nsincerity of our esteemed Premier's\nfervent appeals for a \"White B. C.\nThey have pointed to the presence of\nthousands of Chinese, and to the encouragement given their employment\nIn the various industries of the prov\nlnce by the government, as sufficient\nevidence of this Insincerity.\nIt is with pleasure that The Federatlonist now notes thst Sir Richard\nreally Intends to live up to his remarks, and rid the province of Chinese\nlabor.\nTo find the concrete proof of the\ngovernment's fidelity to its platform\nposition, lt Is only necessary to observe Its attitude in connection with\nthe strike on Vancouver Islaind.\nThere, it is at some pains to herd\nChinese Into the mines es strikebreakers for the Canadian Collieries.\nIt hss msde ample provision for the\nemployment of Asiatics without the\nusual formalities required of white\nminers. These consisted of slight\nefforts to ascertain that applicants for\nemployment were possessed of some\nqualifications necessary for their efficiency In the mines, with a view to\nthe preservation of life and property.\nNot being subjected to such annoyances, Chinamen aro now allowed to\nenter the mines serene ,n their total\nIgnorance, of what is about to transpire.\nWhat better method thsn this could\nbe conceived for reducing the number\nof Asiatics ln the Province? What\nmore could a benevolent government\ndo than allow the Instruments of Its\ndispleasure to blow themselves up at\ntheir leisure?\nThe truly great are always much\nmaligned. Men ln high positions are\noften cruelly criticised and misrepresented. Then the detractors suddenly\nflnd themselves In the wrong, and are\nabashed. Let the people salute Sir\nRichard\u00E2\u0080\u0094he may be alright after all.\nAbout tha. most ridiculous scheme\nfor securing revenue on record is the\nmethods employed by the municipality\nof Burnaby. Special police are-busy\nholding up school children, riding bicycles without lights and haling them\nbefore the \"court\" along with the rest\nof the \"criminals\" above school age.\nIt haa been suggested tbat the bylaw\nregulating tralflc ln Burnaby should\nalso apply to perambulators. At present only drivers with a red nose have\nany chance ot escaping punishment.\nThe present antiquated magistrate is\nmore than a Joke. He should be\nplaced In the government museum.\nVery quietly, without any fuss or\nnoise, the British Premier announced\nln the House of Commons last week\nthat the, government would start upon\nthe reform of the House of Lords.\nFive or six year sago the scream ot\nagony which went up from that vicinity when the radicals laid unholy\nhands upon the age-long, moth-eaten,\nrickety old privilege system and antiquated methods of procedure, so dear\nto the hearts of conservative old English gentlemen, with pot bellies snd\nmilitary coughs, thst people living In\nNew York might have thought all the\nbabies tn the old country were having their faces washed at one and the\nsame time!

ZMtkwtoa tat not Lonsn.\nEditor B. c, Federatlonist: whsn I\nstarted to organise the aawmlllmen and\nloggers tn British Columbia, over one\nyear ago, most of the men I came ln\ncontact with, while realising the necessity of a lahor organisation ln the lumber Industry, were afraid that we were\nundertaking too big a Job and that we\nwould not atay wllh it By promising\nthem that the labor movement of Van-\ncouver intended to do everything possible to assist them to organise, I waa\nable to get a local of about 70 members In Vancouver. I had a good many\nthings to contend with, chiefly: Flnt, a\nlack of funds and seoond, that Vancouver local was the only local In the West\nof the American Federation of Labor, in\nthe lumber Industry (excepting shingle\nweavers) and a number of loggers offered as an excuse for not joining that'\nthey were liable to leave Vanoouver at\nany time, and their card was no use\noutside of Vanoouver.\nAs I have done nothing towards organising ln Vancouver for over six\nmonths, and no doubt a number of members of Vancouver local have concluded\nthat we have given up the light! I wish\nto assure them that we have not been\nIdle, but have an Industrial Organisation ln the Held known aa International\nUnion of Shingle Weavers, Sawmill\nWorkera and woodsmen, with over SO\nlocals, ln United States and Canada, and\nmen Joining by the hundreds every week.\nIn September, 1013, c. O. Young, or-\nritser for the American Federation;\nQ. Brown, president'of International\nUnion of Shingle Weavers: R. p. Pettlplece, James McVety, J. w. Wilkinson\nand others active ln the labor movement\nln British' Columbia, and myself, held a\nconference In Vanoouver, B. C, to discuss ways and means' of organising, the\nmen' employed in the lumber industry.\nIt waa the general opinion of those present If we,could get the Shingle Weavers' to extend their Jurisdiction to\ntake tn all the workers employed ln lumber Industry, lt would go a long way\ntowards solving the problem. Those\npresent at the conference realised that\nin. asking the Shingle Weavers to extend their Jurisdiction, we were asking\nthe Shingle Weavers to make a big\nsacrifice, for lt really meant giving, the\ncontrol of their organisation\u00E2\u0080\u0094an organisation for Its slse second to none\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094to the loggers, but be It said to their\neverlasting credit, that when the.ques'\ntlon wu submitted to them by referen\ndum vote, they didn't hesitate, but voted\nln favor of extending their Jurisdiction\nby about 8 to 1. When the question was\nsubmitted to the American Federation\nof Labor, they responded by appointing\ntwo special organisers to assist in organising the lumber workers, .Since the\nShingle Weavers have extended their\nJurisdiction I have attended the conventions of B. C. Federation of Labor, and\nWashington State Federation of Labor,\nand It certainly was encouraging to see\nthe enthusiasm and determinism shown\nby the delegates when the question of\norganising the lumber workers was before the conventions. We started organising In the new International Union\nMarch 1, 1913. As most of the local\nunions of Shingle Weavers were located in the state of Washington, the\nexecutive board decided that we better\nat first unite our forces in the state of\nWashington. I was sent to Grays Harbor and found a good live bunch already\non th'e Job. There was a Shingle\nWeavers' Union at Hoqulam, but the\nboys around Aberdeen, when they\nheard about the new International, had\ngot together and applied for a charter.\nNo doubt a number of men In Vancouver have read certain articles ln ths\n\"Industrial Worker,\" by an I. W. W.\norganiser, that the lumber barons on\nGrays Harbor wanted an \"American\nFederation of Labor\" organisation on\nthe harbor, and how the chief of police\nnf Aberdeen and others had told the said\nI. W. W. organiser that he would not\nbe allowed to organise for the I, W. W.,\nbut If he would organise for the A. F. L\u00E2\u0080\u009E\nhe would have police protection, aa the\nchief of police was a union man,\nWhen I arrived at the Harbor I can\nassure you that I received no outside\nassistance, except from the loggers\nthemselves, and I was driven out of\nmore than one camp. The greatest Obstacle that we had to overcome for\nsome time was that the bosses were\ntelling the men we were the I. W. W.\nIn disguise and the manager of one\nlarge company went so far ss to tell his\nmen that he had seen our charter nnd\nthat It was an I. W. W. charter. The\naeoretary of the local used to go with\nme to the camps, and was a man respected by his fellow-workers and used\ntn deny that we were organising for\nthe I. W. W., so the men were In a\nquandry to know who to believe, but\nwhen they came to town and had seen\nthe charter for themselves, lt wasn't\nmuch trouble to get them to join.\nI am told Aberdeen local hu over\n1,000 members now, besides Hoqulam\nha\u00C2\u00AB Increued Its membership greatly;\nand besides there are two or three new\nlocale on the Harbor. In starting to\norganise In Eureka, Cal.,-1 had a harder\nproposition to go up against. The I. W.\nW. have had a local there for about\nthree years and while they hsve accomplished nothing but to collect dues\nfrom a few members, chiefly Italians\nwho were led to believe that Ettor snd\nOlovnnlttl would have been hanged only\nfor the I. W. W. ' Shortly after I arrived ln Eureka, an I. W. W. organiser\narrived from the wuh, and when I left\nPureka there were two I. W. W. organisers in the Held. The Shingle\nWeavers around Eureka started to organise about one year ago, but the mill\nowners raised their wages and the organisation fell through. The loggers\nalso started to get together last fall,\nbut never applied for a charter, as It\nwm hard to hold meetings, and do business, when they were all working in\nthe woods. ... ,*\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0096\u00A0',\nHowever, I got a good live local\nitarted with enough men working In\nthe sawmills close to town tn hold regular meetings. I arrived In Fort Bragg\nlast week, and am pleased to state that\nthe boys here got together over a month\nago, and when I arrived here they had\nover 100 members and atlll going.\nThe membership Is largely Finns and\nItalians and they certainly are rebels.\nWhen they started to organise the business men got together and adopted a\nresolution that they didn't want a labor\norganisation In Fort Bragg, but the\nItalians. 150 strong, accepted the challenge and got a band and paraded the\nstreets July 4th and 8th. Two I. W. W.\norganisers arrived here last Friday. I\ndo not think they Intend to do much\nIn the way of organisation, but will do\ntheir best to disrupt this local, but the\nboys are readv for them. When I heard\nthat the I. W. W. fljfh't In Washington\nwas a flssle of course I have been expecting that they would , shortly try\nsomething down here, u there are very\nfew places left lh the west where thev\ncan pull off any more of their work,\nbut most of the workers here, thanks\nto the socialist press, are beginning to\nrealise that hot air and personal nhiino\nwill get them nothing, but on the other\nhand tf they hope to accomplish anything they have to Join hands with men\nand womon who have already accomplished something by using their\nIntelligence.\nI will leave Fort Bragg for Vsncouver In 1! or 14 days more, and will\nhe prepared to organise the men em-\nlogging c&mpa Into an Industrial organ-\nnlnyed In shingle mills, sawmills or\nIsatlon under the banner of the American Federation of Labor.\nAny one wishing to communicate\nwith me please address, care The Federatlonist, Vanccuver.\nFraternally-yours,\nGEORftSS HEATHERTON,\nOrganiser for American Federation of\nLabor.\n*\"f*tt\u00C2\u00A7 Orpheum.\nWhat Is said to be one of the best acrobatic feats ln vaudevlllo will head-line\nthe coming week's bill at the Orpheum,\ncalled \"The Mirthful Mermaids,\" with\nAnna Morecraft and Helena Gandreau,\ntwo perfectly formed young women, who\nhave devoted a great deal of time to\nathletics and physical perfectness, doing the honors.\nMost of us remember the chic and\ncaptivating Dorothy Rogers, who has\nplayed here on numerous occasions.\nThis time she comes u the added attraction, presenting \"Babes a la Carte,\"\ncapably supported by a competent cut\n\"The Five Merry Youngsters,\" a quintette of singers, dancers and talkers will\nhe another feature of the forthcoming\nweek'a-4)tlt. - \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\nBaron Llchter Is presenting- ono of the\nmost refined and highly creditable piano\nacts In vaudeville.\nThe Five Malvern Troupe of acrobats\nand athletes will form another big feature of the week's offering.- >\u00C2\u00AB\nTwo charming maids from Harmony-\nland are the Melnotto Twins.\nAnother Precedent\nToronto Bricklayers' Union has purchased an automobile tor the use of\nthe business agent.

M. Draper aa a'\nfraternal delegate from the Dominion\nTradea Congreaa to the British Trades\nCongreaa, meeting In Manchester ln\nSeptember, baa much more than a personal significance, and,, as a matter of\nfaot, la directly significant at a new\nera in the history of Canadian labor,\nsaya the Typo. Journal. It la the flrat\ntime that Canada hag been thus rep.\nresented, and therefore marks a fuller\nrecognition of the trade-union movement ln Canada by British unionists.\nThe typographical union,: by the selection ot Mr, Draper, is highly honored. He has long been active ln Canadian labor affairs, and at the present time la preaident of Ottawa Typo-\ngraphical Union No. 10!. The Gltlien\nalso saya: \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\nAlready Canada is bound by\nStrang labor union ties to the\nUnited States. Aa the Citlsen\nstated a few week! ago, the majority of tradei unionists in Can- .\nada are allied to the American\nFederation of *_bor. The bond\nof labor on thla continent Is inter\nnational, and finds small hindrance at the boundary line. Na-\ntlonal differences are forgotten ln\nthe common struggle of the workers to achieve larger rights'. It is\ntherefore most fitting that the\nbond between Canadian and British labor should be developed to\nthe utmost, and it Is to bt expected tbat much good may come of\nMr. Draper's fraternal visit to the\nBritish unions. There la much to\nlearn from them which will help\nthe Canadian movement. The\nworkingmen of Oreat Britain have\nmade strong strides ln the laat\nfew years, waking to a consciousness of their larger power and responsibility. If something more\nof .their sturdy spirit can be Infused Into Canadian workingmen,\n\"It will add much to the cause of\nlabor here, .\nBookbinders' Union. \u00E2\u0080\u009E\nThe bookbinders' trade la one with\nthe printer's where artistic ability has\nfull sway, and one has but to visit the\ngreat libraries of the world, the British museum and private collections to\nsee volumes, tbe binding that ln beauty of design, richness ot and taste In\nmaterials used, and delicacy\u00E2\u0080\u0094yet\nboldness\u00E2\u0080\u0094of execution is a stimulant\nto the esthetic sense of the true book-\nlover.

While\nlt may be true that in certain industries wage- that would enable\na girl to live In comfort are not\n?aid, It is not true, according to\nlie federation, that these Industries contribute an unduly large\nnumber to the army of fallen. Individual cases are too frequent ot\n?oung women who have tastes that\nheir small wages cannot gratify ,\n' taking other means to Increase their\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 Incomes, but in thr-gnat majority\nof casss girls go wrong for reasons not connected wltb their earning powers.

If\nthe poor contribute more largely to\nthe ranks of the fallen than the\nrich, lt is because th'e poor are more\nftlentiful, not because their morality\na weaker.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Toronto Mail and Empire.\nThis Is the usual kind of slush we\nAnd ln the reports of committees of\nthe muter class after investigating\nconditions which can no longer be hidden. >\n, \"Pangs of hunger, do not, as a rule,\ndrive girls to lives of shame.\" What\nwisdom, what depth of philosophic\nreasoning Ib revealed by that statement If the choice of a life of shame,\nin order to escape starvation, is the\nexception, what then is the rule? What\nchoice have them? Death or prostitution.\nThey have no choice for poor as it may\nbe, while that Illusion called \"Hope*\nremains with us, we cling to life as\ntenaciously as possible.\nWhat do the members of the Civic\nFederation know of the \"pangs of\nhunger,\" or what such a condition will\ncompel people to do? What do they\nknow, or care, about the feelings of\nthe girl who, because she Is unable\nto secure the necessary clothes to enable her to mix with the young people\nof her own age, and la unable to obtain them any other way, sells her last\ncommodity In order to obtain them.\nLet us, for one moment, glance at\nanother type of prostitute, if anything\na more harmful type than the woman\nof the \"line.\" I refer to tha mental\nprostitutes who encumber the pulpits\nand editorial chairs of the world. Is\nany cause other than that of securing\na hold on the means of life responsible\nfor their preaching and writing those\nthings which they know to be false,\nand which are intended to perpetuate\nthe enslavement of humanity, with Its\nattendant evils.\nWhile \"cases'are too frequent of\nyoung women who have tastes that\ntheir small wages cannot gratify taking other means to Increase their Incomes, in the great majority of cases\ngirls go wrong for reasons not connected with their earning power.\" How\ndare they, as members of the working\nclass, have tastes which their wages\ncannot gratify. Are they to be censured\nbecause, being unable to get the few\nthings desired out of their wages, they\nsell their body In order to do so? Is\nnot a love of the beautiful something\nto be encouraged?

The white slave markets, are the huge departmental stores,\nthe mills, and the factories, wherein\nwomen are nald on an average of $6\nper week. These are the markets. The\n\"White Slave traders\" are those highly\nrespectable people, male and female,\nwho attend church on Sunday, and during the week grind profits from the\nhides and carcases of underpaid female\nworkers.\n\"Knockout\" drops are not needed to\nget girls into brothels; nor is tt necessary to bar the windows to keep\nthem there. This kind of show Is all\nright for those who desire to be fooled,\nbut lt Is of no use to anyone who desires to know the truth,\nJust notice the women from the\n\"district\" when they are out strolling\ntn the afternoons.

However, during the\nlast week a man named James Nimmo\ndrew strike-pay on Tuesday and went\nto work on Wednesday.

Whatever had been the cause\nit appears they were given a lively\nreception' and had to be conveyed\nhome ln an auto, it being reported\nstones had been thrown during the\nreception. When this man got home\nhe pointed a gun through the window\nat the strikers and lt Is reported tbe\nstrikers again retaliated by smashing\nthe windows, A committee from the\nexecutive waited on this family In tbe\nevening, and asked If they Intended\nto continue working, and a definite\nreply was given that they would not\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094If the union were again prepared to\nput them on strike-pay, which waa\nagreed to.
