"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. After moving to Fernie, the paper continued to be published under variant titles, including the Fernie Ledger and the District Ledger, from August 1905 to August 1919."@en . ""@en .

It is an appeal to the\nBritish nation and is called the Terror of Russia.\nIt comes the moment when the workers of Britain are holding gigantic\nprotest meetings against the visit of\nNicholas the Monster.\nIn parliament and in almost every\ncity council the labor party has been\nforced to riot and disorder in order to\nshow their hatred and contempt of\nthat inhuman beast, the czar.\nThe book is a calm impartial state\nment of facts. No man reading it will\never deny afterward that hell does\nexist.\nIf Jack the Rlppor were to come to\nlife again, open all the cells of the\nmurderers, organize them into a Bu-\nreacracy and proceed to reek his vengeance on mankind, he could not exceed the brutality of the C74ar.\nThis-book of Kropotkin's opens up\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 to* us~ a world giving itself to martyrdom.* Sweet, noble minded youths,\n\" beautiful, self sacrificing girls, noble\nmen and women being clubbed, poisoned, shot and hung. >. \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 '\nHe tells of the awful life in the prisons, of exiles arid of executions and\nsuicides.\nHe suppresses the passion of his\n, heart; he allows no tearsto fall. He\nwrites not one word of sentiment. It\nis fact, cold evidence, testimony. The\neye witness tells his story. That is\nall. , y,\nAt the end of the book Kropotkin\nsays: \"I have done my best to avoid\nanything that might'be a distortion, or\nan exaggeration,of facts and yet the\npicture is so\" terrible that it is almost\nshaking one's faith in human progress. \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\n; \"Suffering and martyrdom are cer-\n. talnly unavoidable in every struggle\n'for freedom.

W. of A. advise regard- .\ning Conditions in Novaa Scotia\nConditions in\n- -fa.\nAn Old Country exchange contains\nthe following dated from London:\nAfter many days of conference the\ndispute in the Scottish coal trade has\nbeen, settled. ' The minimum \"of 6s a\nday has been conceded lo the men under a three years agreement, but the\nconditions surrounding that concession have been referred to arbitration,\nhe following official statement was. Issued to the Press at ten o'clock last\nnight at the offices of the-,Board of\nTrade.\nThe Conference on the threatened\nScottish coal dispute was 0 resumed\nthis morning at the Board of Trade tb\nconsider, a proposal for settlement put\nforward by tho president prior to the\nadjournment of the Conference ou tlie\nprevious evening, based on the suggestions made by Mr. Askwith, chairman of the Joint Sub-committee. After prolonged consideration by both\nparties an understanding was provisionally arrived at on tlie lines1 of the\nabove proposal, with various amendments.\n, At'7 p.m. the miners representatives retired to confer with their col-,\nleagues of the Minors Federation at\ntbe Westminster Palace Hotel. The\nconference met again at tho board of\ntrade at 9.30\u00E2\u0080\u0094Mr. Churchill in the\nchair\u00E2\u0080\u0094when tlie following agreement\nwas concluded:\nTerms of Agreement\nAt a conference held at the Board\nof Trade, July 30, 1909, between the\nrepresentatives of the c\"oal=owners of\nScotland and the Scottish Miners Federation,\n1. The Conciliation Board shall be\ncontinued with\" the provision that\nthere shall be obligalory a neutral\nchairman (whose decision in cases\nof difference shall be final and' binding) to be selected by such method as\nshall be mutually agreed up\u00C2\u00B0on by the\nparties, and, failing agreement, by tjie\nSpeaker of the House of Commons,\nand the board and this agreement shall\nremain in forco until the lst of August 1912, < and unless six months .. before that date notice shall have been\ngiven by either party, It shall remain\nin force \"Ihereaftei, subject, to six\nmonths notice of termination given by\neither party at any time.\n2. The principle of the 50 per cent\non 1888 basis as a minimum-wage is\nconceded and wages shall not be reduced below that point. In respect\nof the concession of nn immediate 50\nper cent minimum lt is agreed\n(a) That the basis price for tho 50\nper cent, minimum,'' and the subsequent stops, shall be^ referred to an\narbiter. The references to the arbiter shall bo adjusted by parties, and\nshall be on the footing that the relation' betwen prlcos and wages in the\npast is' recognized as equitable : for\nthe purposes of this arbitration;* and\nthat the new basis price shall not be\nbelow the recent basis price\u00E2\u0080\u0094namely,\n7s, 5.45 d. ' In fixing the .new basis\nprice and steps, consideration is to be\ngiven to the effect which the granting\nof an increased minimum wage would\nhave on the relation between prices\nand wages, and also any other new\ncircumstance bearing on increased or\ndecreased costs since the agreement\nof 1904 was entered into, which the arbiter considers1 revalent.\n(b) That if for any month or months\nduring the 'period from the date of\nthis agreement to 31st* March 1910 the\nascertained prices do not warrant a 50\nper. cent wago under this, memorandum, then for a like number' of months\nan increased percentage in. wages accruing under the memorandum shall\nbe diminished by C1-4.'\n3. The neutral chairman, in giving\nhis decision as to alterations in the\nrate of wages-shall take into account\nthe state and the prospects of the\ntrade. ' 0\nI. Any difference regarding the interpretation of this memorandum, or\nany difference regarding the terms\nof reference under Clause 2 hereof,\nshall be referred to the decision of a\nneutral chairman, to be mutually, appointed by the parties, or, failing an\nagreement by thc ' Speaker of the\nHouse of Commons.\n5. The arbiter to act under Clause 2\nhereof shall be mutally appointed by\nthe parties, and falling agrement, by\nthe Speaker of the House of Commons.\nThe agreement was signed by repro-'\nsentatives of the'cqal owners-jof Scotland, the Scottish Miners' Federation,\nthe Miners' Federation of Great Britain and the Board of Trade.\nThe Miners' Concessions\nSubstantially these were, the proposals submitted to the conference yesterday by Mr. Churchill, .but masters\nand men decided that it'was better to\nsleep over them. This morning the\nmasters were the first to^frive'at. the\n.Board of Trade, and- after tliey had\nblen~coiSid^ihgTtTi^pTopo\"sairtor~an\"\nhour and a half thej-epresentatlves of\nthe'men came in.

The miners\nfought hard against0sub-section B of\nClause 2. Under that sub-section a\nstatement of prices is to be taken out\nevery month, tho men having tho right\nto audit the statement, and if the ascertained prices do not warrant the\nminimum wage, then in the next following month, if the prices rise to\nFernie Cartage & Construction Co. \\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 \u00E2\u0084\u00A2=\u00E2\u0080\u0094\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0080\u0094, |\nThe Fernie Cartage & Construction Co, 1\nbeg to inform the citizens of Fernie , . \u00E2\u0080\u00A2\nthey are prepared to carry out, all\nclasses of work.

In\nplainer language, if the* men for one,\ntwo or three months receive 6s.,a day\nwhen the prices do not justify that figure, they will when a rise in, prices\ncomes, have to wait for an equivalent\n\"number of months before they receive\nan increase. One of the representatives of the miners was determined in\nresisting such a proposal, . but' the\nothers, after consideration, were inclined to believe that as the market\nis rising the miners were accepting a\nllftle or no risk. This.view prevailed,, and was .ratified soon afterward,\nnot only by the executive of the\nScottish miners, but \"also by the/executive of the British Miners Federation. It was\"'noteworthy however,\nthat the representative who .fought\nagainst it failed to put in an appearance when, after the adjournment, the\ngeneral conference met to sign the\nagreement. The point is. likely to\noccasion a good deal of criticism with\na certain .section of the Scottish miners, but the majority of the representatives who consented to its Inclusion\nare convinced that the market will\njustify them.\nThe representatives of the miners\nattach considerable Importance to the\nfact that the minimum is guaranteed\nfor three years, and they believe that\nthat far outweighs any of the concessions they were compelled to make.\nThey welcome the liberty they haye to\nbreak' away from the agreement at\nany time during the three years in\nthe event of a strike'in England and\nWales. 'Tlie Durham and' Northumberland miners are having trouble over the Eight Hours Day Act, and, if\na national strike should be ordered^\nthe Scottish miners are at liberty to\ncome out in sympathy.\nAt the conclusion of the conference\ntonight both masters and men expressed themselves as pleased with the\noutcome of the negotiations. Mr.\nChurchill was delighted at the success\nof his efforts. \u00E2\u0080\u00A2\n, The Feeling in Glasgow\nNews that a settlement had been\narrived at reached Glasgow about half\npast nine o'clock, and ^afe welcomed\nby those..fn. industrial and commercial\ncircles. Up to the last there was uncertainty as \"to the protracted negotiations, and business suffered from a\nmeasure of restraint. ._In. consequence\nbusiness may now be expected to-have\na 'somewhat freer movement in 'the\ncity, as well as in the neighboring\"districts, i which are more closely associated with the coal and iron trades.\nThe evil effect of a lock out 'would\nhave been difficult to estimate in the\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0a * -\nThe Effect of a Strike on the Fishing\nIndustry \u00C2\u00B1\n- No class is watching the coal .situation with keener Interest than the herring fishermen' who own steam drifters.
