"The Nakusp Ledge was published in Nakusp, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, from October 1893 to December 1894. The paper was subsequently published as the Ledge both in New Denver, from December 1894 to December 1904, and in Fernie, from January to August 1905. The Ledge was published by Robert Thornton Lowery, a prolific newspaper publisher, editor, and printer who was also widely acclaimed for his skill as a writer.

BLUNDELL\nTRADES UNIONISM\nTrades unionism is doing things\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2collectively that cannot be done individually. Like the marshalling of\nan army, it realizes that there is danger that it is unable to meet that\n. danger while acting , as individuals\nand organizes and drills its forced to\nlake care of itself.\n, Trades unionism means collective\nbargaining; it realizes that labor is\na force and a strong factor in the industries of the world; that the force\nto which it has hitherto been opposed\nhave ceased to do their busincs individually and arc organized into\nsyndicates, pools and trusts, and that\nthe organization of these forces bodes\n\u00C2\u00ABo good, but ill, to labor while it\nremains unorganized; that unorganized it cannot get the just fruits of its\n.labor and forms itself into an or-\nganization,t, thereby expecting .to,\nand insisting that, whatever bargaining is done it must be for the collective body and not for the individual. It has no enmity to the man of\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0wealth, the capitalist. It seeks to\npull no man down,,but to elevate itself. Unfortunately the capitalist\narrogant in his position, assumes\nthat there, is only one side of the\nquestion to be considered, that he is\ncapable of \".running his own business,\" and that labor must be content ' to accept just such conditions\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2as his business or lack of business\nItnowledge will .permit.\nWhen labor organizes the capitalist\nnaturally gets alarmed, and if circumstances permit, tries to force\nback the recognition of the other factor, feeling that -to recognize it is\ngoing to interfere with his profits,\ncompel him to deal justly., with his\n-workmen and improve the conditions by which they are surrounded.\nHence there is a resort to all kinds\nof methods that could not be exceeded by the crudest methods of barbarians in order to beat down and\ndefeat the efforts of the workers.\nThese sometimes result\" in violation\nof the law, sometimes in murder and\nbloodshed, \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 and are generally caused\n\"by^th'TTitctioTitr^f'^cclTil'TroliwsT^lio\"\nare supposed lo be guardians of the\npeace, and instead are rulliians and\nhirelings of the corporations, who\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0would disgrace a \"Bashi Bazouk.\"\n.Evidence of that character is now\nvery plentiful in Alabama.\nTrades unionism is not now, nor\never was, an advocate of lawlessness.\nIt depends on the justice and right\neousness of thc ' cause, to force its\nway to a recognition of its rights and\nnot in anarchy and, riot and, bloodshed. Unfortunately capital gen\nerally is not so scrupulous iri its me\nthods; it cares not how it succeeds if\nit can' only succeed at all. Tho deep\nest, darkest and blackest crimes recorded in history, and, we -might say,\nthousands not,recorded, hnvo been\nand nre being committed every day\nby the hireling of the insntiuble greed\nof the anarchists in the ranks of the\ncapitalists today, They are the\nworst enemies to tho government nnd\nto the cnpitul thai is disposed to be\njust and fair and to tho wage earner\nthat can be. found in this broad lund.\nTrades unionism does not believe in\n\"duns conflict.\" It is not un udvo-\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0eatn of hnto, but one of lovo,, It does\nnot preach organization because, it\nIintoH the mnn with wealth, but because it does not beliese thnt. the\nman with wealth hns got more thnn\nhis share, in tho business und seeks\nto prevent it in future, It insists it\nia a oo.pnrtuei* in the development of\nindustry und in its prosecution to n\nsuccessful end, It wants tu be fair\nond just in ull its dealings with the\nemployer. It will conduct ils campaign along peace Jul lines nnd Is\nbound to hnve its principles recog.\nnined, mid its policy pursued.\nKvidenee of this is to bo found in\ntlio largo number of employers who\nhave recognized this principle and\nurn today meeting their employees\nan a man mIkuiIiI do with man and\n-reasoning out the mutter before\nadopting a wage nonlr, And this\nnumber is increasing und will continue. They have arrived ut tlie\noiieliihlon thnt induMriul peace\nis better than industrial wur; that it\niiii'iiiih good feeling with them nud\n(lie employe.-, nnd with that good\nfeeling both get. better results thnn\nhaving embryonic war continually;\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0TV..
