T. Bug*-\nHah, waited upon Hon. C. J, Doherty,\nMinister of Juitlce., The Interview\ntook place by appointment made by\nwire from Edmonton ln the ofllcei of\nLougheed ft Bennett, on Tuetday afternoon. The committe| urged upon\nthe mlnltter that the itrlke In the\ncoil mlnei on Vancouver Island had\ndeveloped auch startling feature! that\nIt would be to the lntereit of every\ncitizen that a government commission\nihould be appointed to inquire carefully Into what waa transpiring In that\natrlke region, uld commission to have\none commissioner appointed from the\nranks of organlted labor and to be a\nman ln whom the organlted workers\nof the Dominion could have full confidence.\nIn pressing their reason! why iuch\na commission waa desirable, the committee cited what they characterized\nat a gross miscarriage of juitlce ln\nthe cases of Pettigrew, Pattlneon and\nNaylor. and the conduct of the local\nmagistrate at Nanaimo. The arreit\nand Imprisonment without ball of the\nmlnen' legal counsel, wai cited to\nprove that the attitude of the provincial authorities of Brltlih Columbia\nwai decidedly biased and unfair, and\ntheir activities partook more of the\nnature of millcloui prosecution than\nan Impartial attempt to preserve order. The Incident wae cited ot the\nmllltla having surrounded the mlnen\nwhile they .were conducting a union\nmeeting for the purpose of ratifying\nan agreement with the Jingle Pot mine\nmanagement; how a machine gun loaded and ready to open lire, had been\ntrained on the back door of the hall,\nready to murder them wholesale If\ntbey had attempted to break Sway.\nAnd how they were provoked and insulted by the .military officer and then\nmade to march ln tingle file between\nreglmenti of mllltla with loaded rifles\nand llxed bayonets, ai If they were a\ndeiperate lot of criminals, and* afterwards held ln Jill without ball on Mm-\nty charge! of Illegal awembly.\nIn reply tbe mlnliter said that he\nthought the request of the committee\na, very reasonable one, In face of the\ngrave nature of the allegations made.\nHe was of the Impression that a commissioner had been appointed by the\nMinister of Labor on hit recent visit\nto the Coaat, but would take pains to\nInquire further Into that, He advised\nthe committee to ask the Hon, Mr.\nCrothers for tuch a commluion ilto,\nand that he would on hit return' to\nOttawa l^hd hla Influence to obtain a\nfull Inquiry. He alto went to the\ntrouble of explaining to the committee\nthe relation! of local court! and judges\ntn the Department of Juitlce ot the\nDominion Government. The administration of Justice It wholly in the\nhand! of the provincial authorities,\nwho have the appointing of the magistrates and judges, but In cases of\ncriminal conviction the Minister ot\nJustice, had a right to pardon, and It\nthe catet of Pettigrew, Pattlnson and\n| Naylor wen ai stated (and he had his\nsecretary take a note ot the names),\nhe would use hit power to see full Justice done them.\nThe committee carried away with\nthem a favorable Impression ot Mr,\nDoherty and his sincerity tn the ttate-\nment! made to them. Organized labor\nhai nothing to fear from a free and\nfull expoiltlon of the facts, and such\npublicity as Will remit ihould lead to\nbetter safeguarding of the rights of\nworkingmen When iuch conditions\narlte again.

No wonder, that\nthe demand for stria that live at home\nli to greet ln department itorei. What\nbecomes of the girls who do not live\nat home wai ihown by further evidence.\nLoit Girl* Testify.\nAmong the witness!! calleo* before\nthe committee were a number of glrli\ntaken In a raid on houiei of 111 fame.\nThey testified that ln almost every\ncate glrli are either captured by the\nWhite ilaveri or'forced to yield to lln\nhy low wagei. One of then women\nbroke the hearts of all hearen with\nher teitlmony that, being left a widow\nwith two children to rapport, ehe\nstruggled In vain to do io properly on\nthe wagei ihe could obtain, and ai\nfait; for their lakes, took \"the easiest\nway.\" Now her children are well provided for and know not of their mother's shame.
