Convention\n\"Be it resolved. that a bill be included in our legislative' demands to\nprovide for the payment of wage., in\ncash at intervals of not more than two\nweeks; and to provide further that,\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0where an employee\" has been discharged, or has left his employment, all\nmonies due him must be paid within\n24 hours, or such wages as he was receiving to continue until such times\nas the monies due are paid.\"\nThe above resolution which was submitted by delegates 'McNab, L. Moore,\nD. Hyslop, lt. Livett, J. Levenne. J.\n0. Jones, C. Stubbs, F. Allott at the\nLethbridge Convention of the Alborta\nFederation of Labor last .hine. provoked considerable debate but was finally\nendorsed with the amendment that in\nframing any such proposed legislation\nthe Executive Committee should take\ninto consideration tho wishes of the\nfarmers with respect to employment\non farms.\nThe speech delivered by Delegate\nClem Stubbs, President of District IS,\nUnited -Mine Workers of America, is\nbotli instructive and inspiring, and we\ngive it here for the first time that it\nhas appeared in print as being the\nposition of a man who has had a wide\nexperience in safeguarding the legal\nrights and interests of wage-earners\nwith respect to the collecting of wages\ndue:\nDelegate Stubbs: We are not all\nlawyers, and in connection with matters of law I want to point out that\nwhile we may have the opportunity\n'\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 of looking through books of law-in the\nway one delegate has mentioned, we\nhave not the training that is necessary to enable us to understand what\nthose books moan, and that is the reason we hire lawyers to do our work.\nIt is not often that a working plug\ndoes hire a member of the legal profession,, but sometimes he is forced to\ntake that step in his own^ defense,\nand the reason he is compelled to .do\nso is because it is so difficult to understand the contents of those yellow-\nbacked books. . \" .\nI have been interested on more than\none occasion in trying to collect wages and my experience is that any laws\nthere are in the Dominion are absolutely, useless so far as guaranteeing\n~\"wages \"Rrt __B~wagerwor iters\", b-esheetif\"\ned. We hiyvc a .Master and Servant\nAct on the Dominion statutes, but in\n.our own immediate province we have\nan act passed by the old Territorial\nLegislative Assembly .sat is still iri\noperation in Alberta! We have a similar act in British Columbia, and'that\nAct says nothing more than that the\nman who works for wages is a slave\nof the man who hires him. It says\nthai and nothing else. That law also\nlays down the penalties that will be\nimposed upon him if he disobeys the\ndemands of his' master. If he docs\nnot present himself Tor employment at\ntho lime laid clown by tho master or\ndoes not so conduct himself as to\nplease his master in every particular\nwith regard to tho extent and finality\nof his work, that law holds him liable\nto be penalized,\nII is a fact, however, that wo may\nBiie for wagos ns a debt, but so many\ncounter claims and dockages aro put\nun ngalnst us that avo do not often\nreport to law to enforce our just1 demands. Or else ihe masters make\nthe plea that wo did thlB thnt we\nahould not have dono, or did not do\nsome other thing that wo ought to\nluivo done, and in consequence the\nworking plug finds hn hns no clnlm\nupon Ills employer for tho wngos ho\nbar oarnod,\nThen, ngnln, wo vory ol'ton find that\noir wttgnB aro not strictly specified,\nand wo havo a legal bat tlo on hand on\nthnt. account, and under IIiobo elrcuui-\nHtnnepB we find thut tjio lawyer gets\no.ir wages Instead ot uh getting them,\nand, )lko tho Irishman, wo begin to\nwonder' If It was tlie master or ourselves who got hit with the brick.\nIliero aro two mattors In connection\nwith it. 1 um not overlooking tho\nfact thnt wo neither write tbo laws nor\nInterpret them, and for tlmt roiiHon wo\nmust hire Bonieoim _1ho to write thani,\nnn we nro compelled to also do lo Interpret thorn.

Un tlm other hnnd if a\n, man passes hla tlmo chock, thon ho la\nplacfd In the position thai he has to\npay a discount on It amounting somo-\ntlmcm to 10 per cont. night in tho\nCity of Lctlibrldgo thli Ia\u00C2\u00ABt mouth I\n.\u00E2\u0080\u00A2im uitiliul Mt ludUldu_vl V.1.0 _<\u00C2\u00AB4->\npaid by a time chock, and nobody\nwould cash It or honor lt. It was\ncertified by the company and finally,\nan old shark secondhand dealer offered to cash it for him if he would pay\nhim 10 per cent of the value for doing\nso. I want to say, too, that this particular individual had been looking for\nlawyers' advice, and he had finally\narrived at the conclusion that!' he\nwould either have to discount it at\nthat figure with the shark or keep\nit u_til the boss got ready to pay him.\nNow, if the companies were forced to,\ncontinue the rate of wages that they\nhad been in the habit of paying to\nany workman, until such time as they\ndid pay his wages', there would then\nbe very littlo necessity to ask any\nlawyer to interpret the laws on this\nmatter.\nTliere is altogether too much law-\nlots too much of it; and thc trouble\nis that among these laws the particular ones that favor the payment of\nwages cost too much to have enforced.\nBut if we could get something in the\nnature Of this resolution, which is\nclear enough and specific enough, we\nmight be able to do something to help\nourselves. If they would let me write\nthe laws I think I could point out-\n\"where action could be taken in, the\nmatter and where it would be impossible to have any loopholes. If those\nprovisions woro enacte'd into law ,-I\nthink we might get some protection in\nthat particular regard.\nNow in regard to the farmer, I\nwant to say that if he is in the position\nthat lie can hire a bunch of wage-\nworkers who are forced to organize to\nprotect themselves, then certainly he\nis not entitled to too. much consideration from those workers, no more than\nhe would give them himself. We\nfind, however (and possibly the feeling is more pronounced among the\nfarmers who are organized to protect\nthemselves), that they arc feeling the\nsame encroachments upon their liber-\"\nties as are wage-workers, snd by exactly the same corporations und by\nexactly tho same methods, and if they\nare in the position to hire one or two\nslaves to work for them it is only a\nmatter of skinning-the hide off the\nslave in-order, that he may take lt\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0aiongrwith^hi].\"X.Yvn~to-inriTket:\u00E2\u0080\u0094And'\ncapital gets both their hides, there is\nno question about tha?.\nI realize that they are up against\na more difficult proposition than we\nare ourselves. It is made more difficult by the very,laws we arc honoring about, by the fact that the farmer,\nfinding himself in the position of hnv-\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0iiH; a \"title to a >steady job,\" he has\ngot. to keep it in order. We have no\nsuch title, and hence when we let\ngo of it\u00E2\u0080\u0094wlien we are through with it\n- we'have no further interest in preserving it. That is one reason why\ntlioro may be some little difference, of\nopinion between the farmers und ourselves. Wc are, however, both\" performing tho same functions; wo both\nfind ourselves In the samo position\nwith regard to getting a livelihood,\nbut tho farmer has one distinct advantage; ho will tell you that so long ns\nthe. mortgage does not como duo ho\ncan hung on long enough to llvo, nnd\nif Do can eat spuds and grass ho will\nbo nil right. The wngo-workor has\nnot that satisfaction. If he does oat\ngrass, It Is someone oIho's grass and\nthe first thing he knows he has the\n\"bull\" aftor him.

Trouble has been constant almost since the first opening\nof the field. Commissions aud arbitrations without number have been\nfruitless to avert the constant strikes\nand lockouts. A sort of an armed\ntruce appears to be the best that has\nyet been possible. And meantime,\nthe injured party, the settler, who\nsuffers most, is not at any time a factor either in'the making or, the settling of the trouble.\nPossibly the most important factor\nfor the creation of this constant state\nof belligerency is the failure of the\ncoal managers to realize that they are\ntho custodians of. a resource which,\nwhile it is worked privately for the\nprotit of their stockholders, is virtually a r-Ublic trust, depenck-nt upon the\npioper. administration ot' which is the\ncemfort and in some (.aFes the very\nlives oi the thousands of non-combatants who look to the Crow's Nest for\ntheir fuel supply.'\nWere this feature of the. case- as\nthoorughly appreciated as it should be\nby the men in control it is scarcely\nprobable that any company would re:\nthoroughly appreciated as it'should be\ning matters which come up for adjustment.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Edmonton Capital.\nINDUSTRIAL CONDITIONS\nIN GERMANY\nOur^TT^oTtTnent.\u00E2\u0080\u0094of\u00E2\u0080\u0094Christinas-\nGreeting Cards are the most beautiful we ever had.

In the 2,917 strikes which took\nplace 325,253 persons were involved,\n.and of'these about 10 per ceut wore\nwomen. But independent of the re\nsort to industrial conflict there were\nG, -7SG passive movements orP the part\nof workpeople to obtain better conditions of labor, ani in these appeals\n6S6.416 persons participated. ; \u00E2\u0080\u00A2\n,.That the grievances of the workers\nwere not imaginary ones is indicated\nby the fact that in G.402 cases the\ndemands were conceded by the masters after negotiations had taken,\nplace. In 170 cases the employers admitted without question, that there,\nwas cause for,complaint, and straightway made. redress; and.only in 214\ncases did the workers fail to obtain\ntheir wants.\nOf the strikes 1,309 terminated successfully for the 11S.613 workers involved.

In fighting a fire by, the\nsecond method stoam, sulphur dioxide\nand carbon dioxide have been proposed as gasses suitable for the purpose.\nSteam is the agent most used, If a\nsupply of sulphur could be speedily\nobtaiued it might be possible to use\nthis re-agent in temporary burners,\narranged so as to discharge the gases\ninto the, intake \"'air-way. Snelling\nhas given details of'the mothod. Carbon dioxide is difficult to generate in\nsufficient quantity, and its use is almost out of the, question, save as 11\nis generated by the fii'e itself. Where\nit is impossible to bulkhead a.fire, and\nsteam or other agent, is out of the\nquestion, the' flooding of the' mine !s\nthe next expedient.' -If it is impracticable to flood the mine the turning\nof water down the shafts'after sealing\nall openings to the mine is then in'\norder. r '- ~\nThe great danger in all mine fi''es\nis the rapid filling up of the workings\nwith smoke and poisonous gases (CO)\nTo one who is familiar with .fires this\nis the most, striking' thing. The comparatively restricted \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 workings.., of a\nmine fill up in a.very short time on\naccount of the \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 air currents, which\nwhile; -normally\" \"moving sluggishly,\nunder the increased temperature,. rapidly acquire velocitj'. The presence\nof fire doors at intervals may be the\nmeans of' preventing workings from\nbeing completely flooded with irres-\npirablo gases. If it were possible to\nstop all air currents in' a mine by\ndoors suitably placed the' fire and\ngas could be prevented from spreading outside of a restricted one.\nAs in tlie case of surface fires', \"\"being prepared\" is the key to tbe situation. Mine\" superintendents should\n_car.efully_____ii.lder'the possibilities of\na fire, and, make \"every, preparation\nbeforehand,'' even to laying out a method of procedure for fires occuring\nin different parts of the mine. , The\ndrafting of a plan of action, the provision\" of apparatus and means' for\ncarrying out this plan,, as well as the\ndrilling,and training of thc men who\nare to carry the plan Into execution,\nwill go a long way towards preventing\nconfusion, delay, and loss of control\nat tho fire signal. The provision for\nmarking the passages leading to shafts\nand exits should bo carried out in all\nlargo mines.\nA careful study of the ventilating\ncurrents In ii mlno, and a consideration of tho effect of a tire in changing their direction, also form necessary parts of any flro fighting' plan.\nVentilating plans of the mine undor\nvarying conditions should be prepared\nand tholr study made a part of the\ndrill by the flro fighting squad. Tho\neffect of turning a atrenm of water\ndown a shaft' upon tho air currents\ndeserves montton.

Works,\nwhich is one or the-largest.coal operations in the section has signed iip\nwith the.men.', While .he-miners failed to get all they were asking for; 'yet\nthe concession's wrung from* the operators will go a long- way\", to rlaying the\nground for a future organization. The\nagreement .reached\" between the\nDorothy , miners and \ the .operators\ngave the' men a checkweighman on\nthe tipple to see : that their- weights,\nwere correct, the. two.week's* pay and\na recognition of the union.'. Under the\ncircumstances this was.about all the\nmen could expect.. Other works on\nthe head of Coal River are now negotiating for a settlement, arid it is\nthought that an agreement will be\nreached in the near future,- The\nPaint and Cabin Creek situation remains unchanged but it Is evident that\nthe miners have the operators whipped on1 both of these creeks.. The\nfight has been a bitter one and the\nmasters will not relinquish their grip\non the workers' throats until they have\nto. They are losing hard, fighting a'\nlosing fight, hoping against hope'that\nsomething would turn up to turn _the\ntide of battle, but all in vain. They\nmust eventually surrender to the determined miners who are.going to win\nthis struggle if they have to keep it up\nfor another, year. \u00C2\u00B0 , '\n, ,The^mine .workers organization is\nstanding\" loyally by-the men on the\nfiring line, tents, foodstuffs,. clothing\nand other supplies are being furnish-\ned the strikers and if necessary\nhouses will be built for their accommodation. The watchmen or guards\nat Kingston on Paint Creek held up a\nshipment of tents that were sent the\nstrikers at MoBsey thinking that by\nsuch work as this the miners would\nbe forced to go back to the company\nshacks, but when they stoop to such\nlow, mean ,and -unlawful acts as this\nthey but make the miners that much\nmore bitter and determined to win the\nfight or die in the attempt. Our subsidized daily papers come out about\ntwice' a week with \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 an article under\nbig head lines announcing that \"The\nbackbone of the strike is broken.\"\nThis strike, has had its backbone broken more than once .by capitalist sheets\nyet the .only weakness has been shown\non the part of the' operators.-'\nThe miners will never again submit to the Baldwin guard system and\nthe \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 non-union conditions'_again. and.\nply of labor and ample .transportation\nfacilities, from 50 tti'75per .cent more\nthan the high record of 1911, and even\nhigher record of 191Q7 It-is probably\nnot an exaggeration7, to state' that the\nbituminous miues^pf. tlie United States,\ncould produce from._600,u00,. 00 to 700,-\n000/00(.short\" tons -of conl without\nopening another mine: \"\"',\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 \",\nIn order,to meet this condition and\nalso to meet the general tendency toward increased cost of labor,\" operators\nhave, been impelled* to the,utilization\nof labor-saving-and expense^reducing\nmachinery. ' \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 >\nIn addition to lessening mining cost,\nthere are two other aims to be accomplished by the\" use of mining machines. The undercutting of coal by\nhands is one of the most exacting\nkinds of labor, and the use of machinery materially reduces the arduous\ntasks of the laborer; More important\nthan this, however, it is Mr. Parker's\nbelief, is the greater safety secured\nthrough reducing the practice,- too\nprevalent in many mining districts, of\n\"shooting from the solid.\" This practice cannot be too strongly condemned\nfor it increases the liability to accident and is contrary to the principle\nof conservation, in that it produces a\nconsiderable .quantity of. undesirable\nor unmarketable fuel,\nOUTPUT OF COAL\nDOUBLES IN DECADE\nEXAMINATION PAPERS\nQuestions for Fire Boss Certificate\nat Alberta Examination \u00C2\u00B0\nA.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5'.\u00E2\u0080\u0094An interesting if not startling fact in conrie <;\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\ntion with the production of coal in\n.he' United States\"; according to the\nUnited States Geological Survey, is\nthat in each ^successive decade the\noutput- is practically doubled. If the\nproduction of bituminous coal alone\nwere considered, \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 the record for the\nlast fifty years would show an increase somewhat iri excess ol this\nratio. \u00E2\u0096\u00A0-\nThe' increase in the production of\nanthracite has been much less rapid\non acount of the iimited area of the\nfields, - the conditions under which\nthe industry is carried on and the restriction of the,, prepared sizes to' domestic consumption.' It has been estimated that the output of anthracite\nwill reach 100,000,0.u long tons annually .before it begins to decline.\nThe maximum production up to. the\npresent time lias been 80,771,488 long\ntons. An increase in the annual production of bituminous coal may be anticipated for some time to come.\nThe- statistics of coal production iri\nthe past show that up to the close of\n1865 \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 the total output had amounted\nto .84,890,055 short tons.; Tn the dec-\n_ade_fr_om\u00E2\u0080\u0094l86fi__to_-J.87-5,^inclusiver-the\nproduction amounted to 419,4 5.10.\"\n_ons,-HIR_.ON AVE,, Off.

The\nonly efficient manner in which this\nmay be overcome is to use boilers adapted to the class of fuel on hand and\nfiring them in such' a manner as to\nobtain almost perfect combustion.\nThe use of briquettes also tends\nto lessen the'smoke nuisance.\nFumes and Dust a Nuisance\nThe question of dust and fume condensation is a more difficult one to\ndeal with. The effects of allowing\nfumes to be freely expelled into the\nair is most destructive. In the case\"\nof smelter fumes, the forestry and\nagricultural interests are generally\ndamaged.,-\nAmong, the different methods used\nfor collecting the fumes and solids\nmay be mentioned the different filter\nmethods and electrical fume precipitation, o\n.

Evory effort\nwas tried\" by the president and officers' of,, the. organization to avoid it, but their conciliatory, methods have been of no avail. The Minister of La-\nbor:- no\u00E2\u0080\u009Edoubt backed by Sir Thos. Shaugnessey,\nhas persistently refused to appoint a Boajrd bf Con.\n.filiation and any suffering to the men and incon-;\nvenience to the public, must be laid at his door.\nIt-is gratifying to note that the men are standing\nso steadfast and much .encouragement has. been\ngiven them by the general public. The Boards of\nTrade, practically' throughout, the country, have\npassed resolutions demanding from the'Minister of\nLabor that a Conciliation Board be appointed, and\nin many, other ways have shown their sympathy\nwith the men. The teamsters of Fernie are signally helping by refusing.to handle freight from^or\nto the C. P. \"R. sheds, and if this were followed\nthroughout the country the strike would be of but\nshort duration. As it is the conductors switchmen\nand other unions have promised support, and this,\ntogether with the statement of the President of the\nBrotherhood that there is enough funds in thc treasury to keep the pot boiling for six months, should\nmake the C. P. R. bends think twice before deciding to continue tho struggle, notwithstanding their\nenergetic efforts to fill the vacancies with scabs. .\nTHE UNITED STATES ELECTIONS\nU\nNT1L full results of the elections in tho, States\nare to hand it is difficult to judge what headway Socialism has made in that country during the\npast four years. \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 Whilst the total votes is given in\nthe daily press for the, old parties, the Socialist\ncandidates received but scant'attention. From the\nmeagre information it can however, be gleaned that\nDebs polled a heavy vote. This much can .also be\ngathered from Taft's post election remarks when\nhe stated:\n'The vote for Roosevelt, the 'third party'candidate and for Mr. Debs, the Socialist candidate' is\na warning that their propaganda in favor of fundamental changes in our constitutional representative\ngovernment has formidable support.\" \"' \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 ,,\nIt is worthy of note that in any part .of 'the\ncountry where the Socialists were strong the old\nparties forgot their differences and joined'forces to\ndefeat our candidate. These tactics were adopted\nin Milwaukee with success, Victor Berger being defeated for Congress, and in like manner the Socialist candidate was defeated in Schenectady. \"Wilson's election will not effect the issue in the slightest degree so- far as the, working man ' is\nconcerned. \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 ''The poor ye -shall shall always\nhave with you\" under his regime to the same extent as under Taft or Roosevelt and wages ,will not\nbe higher either. ' Wilson is a free trader, but as\nhas beeji pointed out in these columns,\"neither this\nnor protection can solve our problem. In the' meantime the Socialists will continue to propagate, edu-\ncate and agitate until, like drops of water on'a. rock,\nOpening of ithe Church\ny of thexHoly Family\n' -_ * , * ' ' - . t.

If the wishes of the citizens'\ncount for anything, thon, in face of this protest,\nthe motion in question should be rescinded without delay. , ' -\nIn a recent issue of the Industrial Worker, in\nreply to' a certain article of ours in, which wo refuted some statements made therein in connection\nwith tlie strike in. West Virginia, it takes the op-\nporturiity of making a false, malicious and slanderous attack on tho Lodger. \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 Sometime Inst year a\nshort nole, about,a quarter of a column, crept into\ntho Ledger, and inadvertently credit to the industrial Worker was omitted for same. The fact, that\nsomething was clipped from tliat pnpor ,by a eon-\ntemporary wns evidently so unusual that the editor\nof the Workor could riot resist the temptation of\nblowing himself out'and drawing tho Attention of\nhis readoi'B to this important fact. Tliis was thc\nonly occasion, to our- knowledge, that anything\nwns tnkon from that paper. Iii nil otlior respects\ntlm attack on this paper is without foundation.\nOn Sunday morning at 10.30 the\nVery Rev. P. J. Althoff (.Vicar'General'\nof the Diocese) assisted by tlie Very\nRev. F. J;'Welch,.- of Holy Rosary\nChurch, Vancouver (Provincial, of\nO.M.I.), several of the clergy from-surrounding towns, and Rev. A. Michels,\nresident parish priest, will bless-and\nopen the handsome new Catholic\nChurch on Holland Avenue. 7\nThe building of this edifice' was\nstarted June, 19il, during the'strike,\nand many of tlie parishioners who\nwere idle on account of the labor trouble, volunteered .their services, each\nman giving some two days, while those\nwho were unable to\"give their services\nsubscribed an equivalent, or obtained\na substitute. ,By tliis means alone\nsome $000 or $700 were saved.\nThe fact'that the church was started at a timo when business and business men were experiencing the effects-consequent upon the stoppage\nof the mines, speaks volumes for the\ncourage and .resoluteness of .the Rev.\nFather Michels, who has spared neither time nor energy to secure the completion of not only' the finest church\nin Fernie, but probably ' the finest\npublic building.\n' The task of the Rev., 'Michels has\nbeen anything but an easy one, for so\nfar some $30,000 has been' spent', on\nthe building alone., Of tills sum about\none-third has been collected in, donations and subscriptions, while about\ntwo-thirds .still remains to be met.\nMr. Robert Kerr, .assisted by _tbe\npastor, designed, the church and superintended the building, practically\nall work being'done by the day. The\ndesign is pure' Romanesque, and the\nbrickwork, for . which Sand Point,\nIdaho^brick was used, is without comparison in this city.\n\" A fine entrance poarch is guarded\nby a pair of veneer oak panelled doors,\naiid on passing into the edifice itself\none is immediately impressed with the\ngrandness of the elliptical roof.

In\nthe summer of 1896, they numbered\"\naibout two hundred, and it was decided Ho build them a place of worship.\nRev.' Father John Welch, then a. visitor with the Fathers at the St. Eugene\nMission, accepted charge of-the work,\nwhich at the cost'of many efforts he\nled to rapid completion.\n. \"In Father Welch's1 own words: I\nfirst went'over or through the Crow's\nNest' Pass in January find , February,\n18&C, during the construction o'f the\nraJway. I visited and said m^ss aud\npreached and heard confessions in\nis parly every camp from' Kootenay\nLanding to Crow's Nest-Lake during\nthe course of that year. - My.different\ntrips were attended with many dis-\ncomforts and even, hardships, but I\nenjoyed the life. It was lull of poetry,\nnot to say romance', and the genuine\nkindness I everywhere met with, both\nfrom the contractors and their employes, compensated for much.

Ninety-four-per-cent of all\nthe people who died in this country\nleft nothing at death\u00E2\u0080\u0094after a -life\nof toil no provision ror tlio widow,\nnothing but the cold comfort were\nloft behind. Was It. any wonder that\nthe workmen now educated to better\nthings, - were dissatisfied? But what\nof the other six per cent\u00E2\u0080\u0094the class\nwho were never tainted with drinking, but comprised the most thrifty\nand industrious of our population?\nOut of a total of 67,000 who died last\nyear 3,000 had no more than \u00C2\u00A35,000,\nwhile 00,000 out of tbe 63,000 left no\nmore than $1,00, that was less than\n\u00C2\u00A340 a year for each of their dependants, despite their energy and thrift\nand the denial, very often, of the\ncomforts of life. That was one side.\nWhat of the other? Four thousand\nmen left \u00C2\u00A3189,000,000,\" and fourteen\nnien left \u00C2\u00A326.000,000 in .a country\nwhere we are asked to believe we\nwere taxing the wealthy out, of the\nland. Figures like these not only\nexplained the poverty of .the people,\nbut-the burdens of the industrious,\nand until tlie workman and .the lower\nmiddle class realized tlieir .-significance and learned to co-operate, so\nlong would poverty and suffering remain. Speaking of remedies. Mr.\nDavies advocated' an improved system of taxation and a reform of out-\nlanded system. \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\nFIVE DOLLARS A WEEK\nDon't forget to try Eastern's\nWhen you want\nICE CREAM, ICE CREAM SODAS & SUNDAES\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2PORK AND BEAN SUPPERS\nPISH AND CHIP POTATOES SUPPERS\nColeman Bakery\nAlex.

The Company objected\nto the Board being appointed to investigate the grievances on the\ngrounds that there had .'been no direct\neffort on the part ofAho employees\nto settle the dispute, or in other words\n(hat no dispute existed. . On the .suggestion of tlie Honorable the Minister\nof. Labor, a .Committee of.

A demand .was then made\ndirect by tlio employees to the Local\nantl General Superintendents of the\nsystem, but were not successful in securing a hearing, and the Company immediately began to discriminate against the employees who were active\nin tlie movement, and a number were\ndismissed, A second application was\nthen made to the Honorable the Minister of Labor, for a Board of Conciliation, which Board has been refused, but the Hon. the Minister of Labor has failed to point out his reasons\nfor such refusal. \" '\n\"It must be apparent to lho many\nmombors of.the numerous Boards of\nTrndo in the Dominion, that the offl-\nccrs nnd members of the Canadian\nBrotherhood \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 of Railroad Employees\nhnvo oxertod every offort to bring\nabout nn amicnblo settlement of tho\ndispute, and to avoid n general strlko,\nand'wo'communicate'with you in\norder to acquaint you with tlio fact\nthat ns a Cnwidlnn organization wo\nhave Canadian interests a't^eart, \"and\ndo most sincerely regret that the undesirable feature of strike is the only\nmeans now at our disposal to obtain\njustice. As we feel that both the\nDepartment of Labor- and the officials\nof the Canadian Pacific Railway Company have refused us the privilege of\nplacing our grievances before a fair\nand impartial tribunal in' accordance\nwith the law.\n\"These facts are placed before you so\nthat you will know, if a strike takes\nplace, it has been forced upon us by\nthe combined action of the officials\nof the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, and the HonoraDle tbe Minister\nof Labor.\n- \"We wish to inform the public,\nthrough you, that we deeply regret\nany action'that will tend to stop the\nwheels of commerce of our fair Dominion.\n\"Yours respectfully,\n' A.

' The surplus for the\nquarter amounts to $2,134,801, against\n?56,4S3 three months ago.\nThe showing is up to general estimates, but compares unfavorably with\nthe same quarter of last year, wlien\nthe net earnings and surplus were\nlarger than those \"reported today. This\nIs partly explained, however, by the\nfact that this year's third quarter,\ncharges and allowances aggregated\n. 7,659,049'against ?6,80C,568 last year.\nAn analysis of the statement shows\nthat business for August was much\nin excess of that in July and slightly\nbetter than that of September. 'Officials of the corporation declined to\ncomment on the present status of\nthe trade,-but the month now ending\nis believed ,to show a slight falling\noff from the recent, high pressure.\nToday's meeting was of brief duration and the attendance bf the directors was smaller than usual.

The wound was so bad that we\nfirst thought we would have to get a\ndoctor, but we Anally decided to dress\nthe cut with Zam-Buk.\n\" Well, the Zam-Buk treatment proved\na great success. It not only eased the\npain, but It prevented any inflammation; and right from first applying\nZam-Buk, the cut began to heal. It\nIs now completely healed, and my hus-\nband says he will never be without ft\nbox of Zam-Buk in tbo house, for wo\nare sure it saved us a great deal ol\nexpense.\"\nOver and over again Zam-Buk haa\nbeen proved to be the worker's best\nremedy. As soon as applied to a cut,\na burn, a scald, or any skin injury, it\nrelieves the pain and It sets up healing. It also prevents blood-poisoning or inflammation. It Ib a sure\ncure, too, for eczema, piles, ulcers, old\nwounds, bad leg, ringworm, scalp\nsores, festering, running sores, eruptions, cold sores,, chapped hands, etc\nIts absolute purity, also, makes lt tho\nIdeal balm for babies.\nZam-Buk Soap should be used along\nwith the balm for washing all sore\nplaces. This soap will be found excellent for baby's bath, even where tho\nbalm Is not being used.\nAll druggists and stores sell Zam-\nBuk at 50c. box, and Zam-Buk Soap at\n25c. tablet, or post free from Zam-\nBuk.
