"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 .

OTTAWA, July 14\u00E2\u0080\u0094The following is\nthe complete report' of the majority of\nthe Conciliation - Board dealing\" with\nthe trouble between the operators and\n1 coal miners in Alberta and B. C:\nIn the matter of the Industrial Disputes^ Investigation Act and in the\nmatter of the differences between.the\nWestern Coal Operators' Association\n- and. District No. 18.\" United > Mine\n\" Workers of America, your board respectfully, presents thc following report:\n- Historical Sketch ,.\nDuring the years 1909 and 1910\nTho Western Coal .Operators\" Association and District No. 18, United\n' Mine .Workers of America had been\nconducting operations under an ngree-\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0. ment which terminated March 31st,\n1911 Under the terms of this agreement, a conference was held at .Calgary, Alberta, thirty days prior to\nthe date of expiration of this agreement, to negotiate a new agreement.\nThe conference proved' fruitless, the\nagreement lapsed on March 31st, 1911,\nand immediately the miners throughout practically the whole district\ncovered by the eighteen mines, ceased\nwork. The Department bf Labor Mm-\n.mediately offered a conciliation board;\nthe parties finally accepted. The board\nwas constituted,with A. J. Carter,.of\nFernie, representing the United Mine\nWorkers of America;* and Mr.' > Colin\nMaeleod, of Maeleod, Alta,, represent-\n~ ing the Western Coal Operators' Association, and Rev.' C. W. Gordon, of\n, Winnipeg, as chairman.\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0**f The- board convened at Lethbridge,\non April 26th, continued in session until May 12, and adjourned; reconvened\nat Coleman on. June 8, and finally adjourned in Banff on July 9th, 1911.\nThe board regrets its inability to\npresent an unanimous report. A. J.\nCarter being unable to accept the\nproposed wage.scale, will present a\nminority report.'.. The board further\ndeeply regrets that the utmost' dili-\n\" gence and care in the securing and\nweighing of evidence secured during\n,the investigation and after the most\nstrenuous and prolonged, efforts to\nharmonize the opinions and attitudes\nof the parties, that It'is forced to re-\nport a, failure in this respect, in that\nthe parties and on its own motion\nthe board faithfully and fearlessly investigated. No ' information was refused by either party, no enquiry buri-\ni\ned. When it is remembered that in\nthe Western Coal Operators' Association there are eighteen mines represented working lignite, bituminous\nand anthracite fields, differing in\nmethods of working T.nd character of\nseams, with a capital of forty million\nC?4G,000,..00) dollara, and in the United Mine \"\Vorkcrs of America there\nare 18 locals, each with its own set\"\n.of claims and'grievances and all united in common clnims, It- will not bo\ndifficult to understand why the board\nfound it necessary to extend the tlmo\nof its labors to such a length.\nThroughout this investigation the\nboard has set Itself to discover the\ncauses of this , perennial strife between tho parties to this dispute, feel-\ning that there niust^ be somo deep-\nrooted reason for divergence of opinion simply that is explicable and\nyields to reasonable negotiations, but\nfor the spirit of hostility approaching\nto bitterness, and of distrust That\nclouds their every relation.\n' Many grievances of the miners\nwere reported arising from conditions\nof work, interpretation of agreement,\ndiscriminations, etc., due in some,cases\nto misunderstanding, in some to petty\ntyranny of subordinate \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 officials, in\nsome to mismanagement of mines and\nin some again to unwise interference\nthe districts in the U.S.A.,whore the\nU.M.W. \"of A. are \"iri existence, is re-\ncognized-In the._statutes.of'Alberta and\nhas been.in' operation in 'all the mines\nrepresented in the Western C. .0. Association.' Why then should tne \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\"check\noff\" clause become \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 the bete noir\nof every conference? Simply because\nin, the \"check off\" is Involved theques\ntion of the \"open\" or \"closed\" sho_. as\nalso tho development, not the existence of the union, A certain variety,\nof \"check off\" clause the operators will\naccept, though grudgingly,, perhaps,\nbut a particular form of \"check off\"\nthe operators rcsqlutely refuse and the\nunion as resolutely demands. And\nwhy? Because in this particular form\nof check off clause both the union vand\ntho operators believe they see the closing of the door. At every conference\nboth parties sit with their eyes upon\nthe door.' Let It move ever so littlo\nopen. or shut, and the guns are out.\nAnd this in the face of the extraordinary fact that the union frankly\nand ' fully concede the \"open shop,\"\nand the no less extraordinary fact that\nthe operators frankly and fully concede, to the union the right to exist\nand develop Itself among their employees. Thus the .union professing the\npolicy of their open door gently proceed to close it a little and are surprised and grieved to find behind that\ndoor the whole body of tlie operators\nshoving for dear life. ' Meanwhile the\nthird party, the people of Canada, gaze\nrailway'influence; th\u00C2\u00A7.'.\"board* was- unable . to \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 discover: that-such -influence\nwas\" used to\"-depress;^ie ;C0st,.prices\nqf.coal or to iucreaso.tW cost of production.* There'are instances where* a\nrailway company, secures the lowest\nrate on coal, butthlsiaipb\u00C2\u00A9 accounted for by -the commoiu business' -custom of giving a better^rate, where the\nwhole output is purchased and where\nthe-security is \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 absolute,-*, . The. board\nis. of the opinion. that, most of * the\n'c-ii'- mines in this, district cannot\nwithout loss increase'the cost of pro;\nduction. It is obvious that,this fact\nhas a1. profound influence upon the\nquestion of \"wages,' but it! is equally\nobvious that* in'certain cases this iri-\nr I\nfluence .must, be- steadily.*resisted;\nWhen the question for instance* is1 one\nof living .wage, ^the ability of a\" mine\nto pay must be disregarded from the\nsimple consideration that while it cannot be shown to be an absolute necessity that a particular'mine-should be\nworked, it is clearly evident that the\nwages a man receives must be such\nas to support himself and his family\nin decency and comfort --. o '' ,\nIn coming to a finding upon- the\nwage scalo the board was goverened\nby certain well defined principles;\n1. A living wage is a necessity.\n2. In mines operating under the\nsamo association and within the jurisdiction of the same labor-union, uniformity should prevail.\n3. In the same mining camp equalization of wages should be sought.* -\n. 4. After passing the limit of the\nliving wago the financial standing \"of\nthe company should be-considered.\nIn the application * of these' principles to the*day wage\"scale the board\nfound little difficulty. *,,The rates for\nboth inside' and outside day, men\nwere obviously too,-low. The board\ntherefore 'suggests the advance mentioned iri the schedule * below.* '\nBeware 6f i\nImitations\nSold -oii\u00E2\u0080\u009Ethe\nMerits of\nMinard's.\nLiniment \u00E2\u0080\u00A2\n45 Steam-Heated Roomi -\n,S. .,,\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0080\u00A2\u00E2\u0080\u009E\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 \u00E2\u0080\u00A2-; 7*\u00E2\u0080\u00A2'77- .v .*,\u00E2\u0080\u00A2'\n_*\u00E2\u0096\u00A0_\nHot and,Cold Baths\nrP\n7'-. ,\ *' v \".*\u00E2\u0096\u00A0.-. . i*-^Tf>: ;\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 V \u00E2\u0080\u00A2--..*;-'\"' JJ--', \u00E2\u0080\u00A2*.\nFernie's ; Leading Commercial^Hotel.\n*- -_,. \u00E2\u0080\u009E- * 1 . *W i _\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00C2\u00AB * . _,__ _. -- -\nYyiit\n, , **\u00E2\u0096\u00A0' 4\n'-:, :\\n.--' le\n- -- \u00E2\u0096\u00A0., . *\u00E2\u0096\u00A0*_\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 '*-, ,- _' 7 '\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2The Finest' Hotel In* East.

But having entered upon\nthe-task it watt felt that anything but\nthe most thorough and exhaustive In-\n1 veBtlgation would satisfy neither the\n*\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 board itself nor the department nor\nthe .country at large. In conducting\nthe' work the board placed itself entirely at the disposal of'the parties in\nseeking to possess Itsolf of the fullest\ndata upon every point. Every thine\n'was visited, evory wltnoBS called, overy grievance probed as each party\ndcslrod. Sworn' documents taken\nfrom the company's books were presented, payrolls! were examined, mlno\nofficials and union officials woro put\non lho ntand, sanitation wob inspected,<\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 tho cost of living and the .cost of\ncoal production, tonnage output or the\nmines, and selling prices of coul und\nof union officials. At'this point the and suffer. If the shop is open, why\nboard ventures the opinion ,thdt a\nstupid or unsympathetic pit boss or\nforeman may work great injury to a\nmine and should be removed, and a\nmeddlesome secretary of a local union\ncan with the greatest ease keep a\ncamp in a state of turmoil. His local\nshould deal -.with; him. We venture the further opinion that in the\nbest managed mines there were fewer\ncauses of complaint. These grievances, while individually of comparative' insignificance, cumulatively, furnish a mass of Inflammable material\nfor strike conflagrations. They ought\nto be dealt with promptly ind settled\nwithout delay. * - - -\nBut these grievances while ;.hey account for local \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 Irritation, do not explain the phenomena of recurring\nstrikes';'perslstent antagonism and sas-\nplcion, Impossibility of mutual coutes-\nsions, etc., tliat have marked the relations between the parties during the\npast year. \" What ls the cause?\nGrievances, annoying as they may be,\nnever appear at the meetings ot the\nstale committee where agreements are\ndiscussed. Differences of opinion on\na wage question is Inevitable, but yield\nto negotiation by; reasonable 'men.\nWhat is the cause of this deplorable\nfeeling? The effects\" are serious\nenough to concern thoughtful men all\nover the country. The situn'-.to.i has\nbecome intolerable. The question is\nnot solely for the parties primarily concerned, and their interests, vast though\ntlioy may ho, but for that third party\nwith their Immensely greater Interests\nwho, unable to \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 protect themselves\nfrom loss and suffering, arc wholly at\nthe mercy of those who let loose at\nthis biennial flood, misery nnd strife.\nWhy is this? A study of tho Calgary conference sets forth one chief\ncause In clonr light, For thirty days\nthe parties sat In conforenco so called,\nunable to achieve a single Item in advance. Whnt blocked the wny? Tho\ngeneral provisions, especially tbo\n\"check-off,\" What is this \"chock-off\"?\nIt Is a plan, by which the companies\nagree to colloct tho union duos, ubsofis*\nments, flnoa, etc, from the oniployooo\nmarkets, relation of coal companion affected. Tills plan, which'seems to\nto railway companies; thoso niul all * bo poc.illar to the coal mining IndUB*\ncognate matters at tho Instigation of try, 1ms found placo In practically oil\nbother with the door?' A little more\nsincerity on the part of both parties\nwould eradicate^vhat, In the opinion of\nthe board, is deep rooted cause of this\ncontinuous strife and would effectually\nremove the inability of the parties to\nrationally-'negotiate an agreement.\nSettle the \"open shop\", question, and\nthat of the right'-of the union to\" exist and to exercise its proper functions, and there will be little difficulty\nin.finding clear and adequate words\nwith-' which to frame an acceptable\n\"check off\" clause with those clauses\ngermain to this, viz.: those dealing\nwith mine management, union jurisdiction, discrimination, etc.\nThe board therefore suggests that\nboth parties frankly come out'\" into\nthe open in regard to the principle\nof- the \"open shop' and in regard to\n1he7rIgh~r\"ofIlie'_ union, to .exist-an_\nexercise Its functions,, and then there\nwill'be no difficulty\" in drafting ^the\nclauses named above. The operators\nmust remember that a mine is not a\nhole In the 'ground -With coal in it*,-\nbut is an industry producing coal for\nthe market in 'co-operation with la-,\nbor, and the miners must remember\nthat there are no coal mines. unless\nthe mines are In operation.'\nOn this question of wages, the\nboard' discovered wide divergence of\nopinion, but as the investigation pro-\nceded certain' striking features emerged upon the field of enquiry and\nprominent amongst these are abnormally low day wago scale and an abnormally high wage for men engaged\nln pillar coal. Then too, there was\nbrought out Into clear prominence\ntho startling fact thnt out of the IS\ncompanies, only four'have'paid any\ndividends, and thoso four only inter-\ntermlttontly, while during the last two\nyears probably two \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 thirds of the\nmlnos havo been oporntod at a Jobs.\nThe board came across tho Impression, not only'among the miners but\nnlfto In the community gonorally, that\nthis wns due In some cases to mis*\nmanagement and In others to collision with railway companion, It Is\ntrno thoro uro instancoB of loss duo\nto mismanagement and to unhappy\nexperiment, but this is only truo to\nn comparatively slight oxtent. As to\nIn approaching -the - contract .rates\nthe board experienced more difficulty.\nHere a great variety w'as discovered\nin the wages paid for the same class\nof work, for'instance, the- average\nwage for contract miners steadily employed in thet'-Albert'a Railway and\nIrrigation Company's mines stands on'\n$3.54 per day,, this \"being the lowest\naverage in the district. This low\nrate is partially; accounted for by the\nfact that the character of the mining\nin the mines seems to- demand less\nhighly skilled labor. In other mines\ngeneral average on all .contract' min*\ners for a year,showed such variation\nas to Indicate In the ''figures' $3.98,\n$4.62, $5.61, and $6.00 per day, This\nvariation is to.be accounted;for partly by a difference in the'contract rates\nin different mines and'largely, by-the\ncharacter of the seam and,_,the method\nof working. ' The boardffelt little difficulty in deciding _ thati. an - average\nover a mine1 for \"contract miners of\n$3.84 per day .was tod lijw, and hence\nthe suggestion that ,the rate's prevailing In the Alberta Rall*.a*y '8b\"Irrlga*tIori\nCompany's mines should be advanced\n3 per cent. t A higher advance might\nhave been suggested In the\u00E2\u0080\u009Eday wage\nwhich In this particular mine would\naffect a very, considerable, proportion\nof the \"pay\" roll. l \u00E2\u0096\u00A0' *\", J.\nIn considering the earnings of con*\ntract miners' in the same mine, the\nboard made anothei striking discovery, namely, that the miners engaged\nln pillars earned wages far- In excess\nof those earned fn other kinds of work,\nThe following table of average not\ndally earnings win Illustrate these differences:\nAverage Net Dally Earnings Per Day\nPer Man for the Year 1910\ni\nWest Canadian CotTFerles, Ltd., Bellevue Mine\nBreasts (upon pitch)....$4.89 per day\nDrenst8,(acroBs pitch) .. 4.74 por day\nPillars .' 8,80 per day\nDevelopment 4.09 per day\nTotal contract ,5.40.por day\nBlairmore Mine\nRoomB ..$5.22 por day\nPillars ,12.81 por day\nVtv\niJ!^^W*\u00C2\u00ABw\u00C2\u00ABJ\u00C2\u00ABW**lr!^S:'**'\nj_$jf;\nSayA.w Man\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0>ifa\u00C2\u00A3\nScone* Irom 'The Bqtmw Man1 at tbe (innd 'iheMre, Battirdny, 29th July, 1911.\nDevelopment \ 8.95 per,day\nx Total contract ...... 6.00 per day\nLIlieMlne'.\nBreasts ,. $3.33 pe. day\nPillars .. .' 5,04 per day\nDevelopment .,,.. ...... 6.24 \"per day\nTotal contract\"*. ;.4162 per1 day\nInternational Coal and Coke Co.

Secondary seams have\n'been sacrificed by the adopted mode\nof working the best,one,' so that in\nalmost every coalfield there are left\n* behind millions of tons of valuable\nfuol which It will never bo possible to\nreach again.\n' In consumption, too. there has often\n. been a measure of ignorance and Indifference such that an infinitely greater tonnage of fuel was constantly being used than waB justified by., the\namount of work got out of lt. Probably this 'was evinced more at the\ncoal mines themselves than anywhere\nelse. In my young days it was estimated tbat a .colliery might be ex-\n', pocted to consume in Its own boilers\nabout 10 per cent of-its total product. But in less,than a generation\n,an enormous,.chango has come about.\nI Scientific education, the wider study\nof all economic problems,* the' improv-\n' ed mental equipment of engineers and\nof business men, the. advance of dis*\ncovery, .the crying demand for the\n. cheapening of the cost of power, have\nall contributed to bring about this\nchange. The engineer of to-day is\nnever worth his place unless he knows\ni a great deal more about the character\nthe source, and the cost of his power\nsupplies than the colleges were in the\nhabit of teaching five and twenty\n1 years ago.\nThat which-.prompted me to bring\nforward these few notes was one of\n,' the questions put, to, a candidate at a\nrecent examination for mine manager's certificates. ,The question was\nthe., eminently, practical one: \"If you\n\"were called upon to make a contract\n. for supplies of coal, how would you set\n' about It?\", * ' - %\nAnd this question shall be borne in\nI mind*.in subsequent remarks. - **-*\n~ _SwIngn5ut~lTuch\"niuestions~ as* OfP\ngin ot coal, the distribution of it, and\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0. the mining of it, I propose to discuss\u00E2\u0080\u0094\n.

In small propor\ntion, up to 1 por cent., the presence of\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0sulphur may be of little consequence,\nbut If this limit be exceeded, the sulphur Is a source both of trouble and\n, danger; troublo bocauso given the pre:\nsonce of somo Impurities, and danger,\nbecauso of the tendency to-spontaneous combustion. , Fires, both ln the\nbold, aud In the bunkers,'have all too\nfrequently occurrod In flea-going yes-\nvoli**.\nWater.\u00E2\u0080\u0094All coals contain a small\nproportion of wator, both free and In\nchemical combination, As a rulo,\ndeeper soainB contain less water than\nshallower ones; nnd gonorally, nlso\ntho older tho geological formation from\nwhich tho coul Is produced, the Rmnlic-r\ntho porcontngo.

'* The most' suitable coal for the manufacture of gas\nis one which is high' in volatile hydrocarbons, and in which'the relative contents of the various gases are such\nthat the, gas produced will be high in\nilluminating power. . A high class can-\nnel coal, with volatile. contents of\nprobably 45 per cent will yield 13,500\ncubic feet of gas per long ton, of illuminating power of 36 candles; a good\nDurham gas coal, volatlles 35 per cent,\nabout 12,500 cubic feet, and illuminating power of 16 candles. Selected\nWltbank District coal, with 33 per\ncent of volatlles, gives over 11,000\nfeet per ton, and an illuminating power of slightly over 14. The long ton\nls here meant, as it is the British\nstandard. .;\nFor Coking.\u00E2\u0080\u0094In the selection, of\ncoal for the purpose of coke making,\nit would appear reasonable to assume\nthat with'tho scientific knowledge of\nto-day, an expert ought to.be able to\nput his hand on analyses of coal and\ndeclare off-hand which were or were\nnot suitable for coke making\"; but this\ndoes not seem possible Some of the\nbest British cokes are made from, coal\nwhose volatile contents exceed 30 per\ncent, while some of the best American\nare from coal .whose \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 volatlles fall\nshort of 24 per cent. There are unexplained mechanical or structural differences in coals'of similar chemical\ncomposition, such that, while one of\nthese* coals will: produce an admirable\ncoke, another will not do so, failing,\nit may*be, to give either cohesion,\nhardness, or-porosity, each of which\nqualities is an essential of good coke.\nIn addition, a good coking coal must\nbe low In ash and 'sulphur contents.\nSteaim Coal.-\u00E2\u0080\u0094It is;~ifrthis country,\nto a very small extent only, that we\nare interested in the\" manufacture of\ngas or coke. Coal to us is important\nonly as fuel used in the generation of\npower.'* This phase of - the .subject\ncalls, therefore, for more detailed consideration. For' use in steam boilers\nwe seek, ofcourse, to get full advantage of all the combustible,, contents\n-._, '.-..{\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 ^.^f-vi-^'^jr- _. \u00E2\u0080\u00A2\u00E2\u0080\u00A2\u00E2\u0080\u00A2\n'SJr.v:,\n1 ____*'i_r I Bk I-_0*V\n__ Rff tl __ 1 __T\n#_ (____ 'I \u00C2\u00A3r__t H im\n_&s& W\ 1 B^l _7_\nar^\u00E2\u0080\u0094ta a ^_ B * \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 \\u00C2\u00BB *aafi.\nare' 29.per cent, while giving a calori\ntic of 13 percent.\" --.'-\u00E2\u0096\u00A0-' \"\" ' ,\n,Anthracite.\u00E2\u0080\u0094The .world's- supply\". of\nanthracite \"is comparatively limited iiri\ncomparison with the abundance\" of bituminous sorts, yet'the occurrences are\nfar from being unimportant This class\nof coal is extensively, used in the large\"\ntowns of-Europe ,and America because\nof Its.smokelessness. - It is used for\nsteam frequently' enough when ils\ncheapness, as compared with other\ncoals, is such to justify the provision\nof forced draught to aid combustion,\nwhilst it is of great service to ihe\nsuction gas engines, which have come\nto the fore so rapidly during the past\ndecade. , , \u00E2\u0080\u00A2\nAt the present moment the* makers\nof suction gas engines ask for a coal\ncontaining not more than 10 per cent\nof volatile matter, though there ls little\ndoubt that they will succeed in adapting their generating plants to the use\nof bituminous coal. As yet it would\nappear that the tar generated In the\nfusion of this latter class of coal calls\nfor too frequent stoppages for cleaning, and and excess of hydrocarbon\ngases in the explosive mixture' increases the danger of pre-lgnitlon. - ,;\nCalorific Value.\u00E2\u0080\u0094I* must now. refer\nto a -point In reference especially to\nsteam coal which, perhaps, ' should\nhave received notice at an earlier\nstage in,my notes, i.e., the estimation\nof the relative heating power of coals.\nThis is usually spoken.of as \"calorific\nvalue,\",and calorific value means the\nnumber of units of water a similar\nunit of coal will convert' from, boiling\npoint \"into steam.\" Thus, when the\ncalorific value of a coal is said to be\n12, we understand that one pound of\nsuch coal, will, in the laboratory under\nideal conditions, convert 12 lbs. of\nwater into steam,' after it has first\nbeen heated to boiling point.
