A, KASTNER\n8olo Agent for Fernl\u00C2\u00A9\n\"A delegate to'the International Socialist Congress at Amsterdam in 1901\nrecords tWfact.that the congress took\nno Interest whatever in the discussion\"\nof the general strike. All the leaders'\nwore in Bpecial committee formulating,\na resolution on tho compromising tactics of some of the French Socialists.\nMSlloramT had entered -the \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 French\nCabinet, anil thnt real departure from\npolitical class action entirely \u00E2\u0080\u00A2\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 overshadowed tho Utopian proposition of\ntho general strike. When some one\nurged that tho commltteo take a recess'f ronf Its special work to deal with\nthe important matters before thovcon-\ngross, Debel's patience, it Is suld, gave\nway. \"Nonsense!\"' he said, \"Trifles!\nAll Trifles! A rump (congress) can\nattend to all that! This here, is tho\nreal Issue!\"\nThis fairly oxpresses tho attitude\ntaken\" by tho chief Socialists of Eu-\nrope as well as the altitudo of the International congress on tho subject\nof the general strike. So far as I\ncan discover those - Who attend the\nInternational\" trade union conferences\nhave not thought the matter worthy\nof even a moment's discussion, while\nthe international' Socialist congresses\nhave always treated the.discussion of\nthe'general strike with some disdain.\nAt Paris, in 1889, a resolution in\nfavor of the\" general strike was defeated after having been briefly com-\nbatted by Liebknecht. The later declared the general strike impossible\nbecause to-his mind tlie working class\nwould never \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 attain a sufficiently\npowerful cohesion, organization and\nunity. The Congress of Brussels in\n1891 did not discuss the matter, but\nlimited itself to voting a motion upon\nstrikes jn general, declaring them\n\"two-edged- swords.\" The Congress\nat Zurich in 1893 did not take up a\nresolution, which was voted in- ocm-\nmittee, urging the political and economic organizations of the working\nclass in order to utilize if possible the \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\ngeneral strike. At London in\" 1896\nthe Congress voted the following resolution: - \" -V\n\"The congress considers strikes and\nboycotts are necessary weapons to\u00E2\u0080\u0094attain the objects of. trade unions. What\nis immediately essential is the'thor-\njmgh\u00E2\u0080\u009Eorganizationi_of thajjy.qrkink,\nclass: as. the successful management\nof n strike depends on' the strength\nof its, organization \" - \u00C2\u00AB *\nA minority report was brought into\nthat congress urging that the workers\nmako a study of the important'question of the general strike and that it\nhe considered at the next-congress.\nGucrard, a French trade unionist, declared; \"On behalf'of the* minority\nI wish to protest against the action\nof tho majority on the economic com-\nj mission, who have not once allowed\n* any discussion on the question of a\n{general strike, although tho French\n11 workers attach tho 'greatest impor-\njtance to th|s question. Wo know-.it\nlis now tod lato to discuss It In this\n'congress, but the maltor ought to bo,\nj discussed Inter, Tho general strike\njls tho most revolutionary'weapon *wp\ni havo. Will the congress at least\n* recommend the workers everywhere\nt to study tho dotalls of the\u00E2\u0080\u009E question\nuntil tho next International congress\nso tlmt tho noxt congress may he ln\na position to como to a defin'lto rose-\n, lutlon on tho gonoral strlko,\" Despite\nthis appeal, tho congress declined'to'\nadopt tho minority report, evidently\nof the utter Impossibility of nn International general strike.\n. \u00E2\u0080\u009EAt Amsterdam, ln 1901, tho discus-\nhIqji came up upon a, resolution pro-\n, Hunted by the Socialists of Holland.\nA special committee was therefore\n* formed to proparo a resolution and to\npresont It to the ontlro Congress. Tho\nHollanders, tho\" Belgians, and tho tier-\nninns stated ln the committee, that\n, tho gonoral strike, If ono understands\nby thnt tha' stoppngo of nil work at\na given moment, Ih ImpoHsihln, although thoy ,woro all of the opinion\nthat n strlko which oxtpinlml Itsolf to\nInclude several crnftH could, In certain\nj circumstances, gain hoiiw i>olltlenl opd\nor provont some reactionary nssnultH\nupon tho rlghts-bf tho worltora, Tho\nFrench nlono wero vigorous In 4holr\nsupport nf tho general strike,' 'nnd\nIlrlancl, tho master orator and self-\nstyled father or tlm genernl strike,\nenmo In person to capture tliO'Con*\nBroun.

The\nspecial thugs had Intimidated Orientals so that they went to work, and\nassaulted respectable citizens; the only lawbreakers were, \"Bowser's specials;\" and the petition for protection\nwas largely signed by Asiatics who\nwere,being driven by 'Bowser's fiends'\nto work.\nSpeaking on the.hotels being closed\nin Cumberland Williams said that the\nspecials were the only ones who abused-liquor. They could hardly sit on\ntheir horses, and they had also, on instructions from the attorney general,\nrefused whites permission to visit the\nOriental department there. The Asiatics were told they must work, or go\nto Jail, or be deported.-\nMcBride's defense was much1 the\nsame as on previous occasions and the\nworkers of this province should by\nnow know how he stands\n. Two significant bills that have gone\nthrough are the one to cancel all present voters' lists on March 3d, this\nyear, and the other in conjunction\nwith the raise in members' salaries\nto $1,600, and increasing the term from\nfroni four to five years.\nParker' -Williams had *, previously\nthanked the government for the raise\nin his characteristic way, saying he\ncould now go further afield ancl show\nthem \"up, whereat McBride said he\nwas not much-afraid of a change yet.\nRegarding this bill, however, Williams\ncould see no xeason for the-change\nas in the last ten-years no parliament\nhad sat over, three^ years. >He* con-\n-demried-the-iiabit*'of*Tjiving\"tlie\"macEr\nine so much more notice than the outside public received of an approaching\nelection.

Though I am the otfly representative of the- non-owners In this\nassembly I will do what I can to safeguard the interests of the mine workers. .The fact that the honorable member for Athabasca has spoken so fav- ,\norably of the bill (he being a mine\nowner) is very good evidence that the\ncommission has not neglected the interests of the owners. When this bill\ncomes before the committee of the\nwhole house I will introduce several\namendments and I will then deal In\ndetail with the merits of the bill.\" . -\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 Your correspondent may be pardoned for adding that it is well to-remem-\nber that the capitalist class own the\nnatural resources and the machinery\nwhich Is the product of labor, because\nsuch ownership enables them to make\nprofit by enslaving the non-owners.\nWage slaves are not the property of\nany \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 particular bunch faf capitalists,\nbut they are the property of the capitalist class as a whole. If any particular bunch, of capitalists, in their\ngreed for1 profits, were allowed to\nfreely kill and cripple wage slaves It\nwould in time reduce the supply, then\nthey, as well as ,all other capitalists,\nwould have to pay more wages (as for\ninstance after tlie.black plague in Eng- '\nland.) Governments being the executives of all the capitalists,' they used .\nto pass laws restricting the slaughtering of wage slaves, but as capitalism grows older, the,supply of wag-.* ,\nslaves'becomes ever greater than ,the\ndemand, therefore ever easier to re-\nplace~tl-e killed and crippled, so* that\nLowadays such restricting laws aie\nenacted only just before elections as\nso much,bait with which to catch the\"\nsuckers, and they are enforced only\nto the extent that the awakening consciousness of the wage slaves to their\nposition in capitalist society enableB .\nthem, through their political and industrial organizations, to force \"the\ncapitalist governments. All of this\nhas many times been' slated on the\nfloor of the assembly and It is worthy'\nof note that two and three years ago\nwhen he who made these statements.\nintroduced several amendments to the \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\nCoal Mines Act they,were defeated by-\nthe^very~government'rthat~is*\"irow*'iiTf?**\ntroducing the new\" Mines Act,\nTHE MINES ACT IN THE\nALBERTA LEGISLATURE\nSYNOPSIS OP COAL MIXING\n11EGUI.ATIONS\nCOAL mining rights of tlie Dominion, In Manitoba, Saskatchewan and\nAlberta, the Yukon Territory, the North\nWest Territories and' In a portion of\nthe province of British Columbia, may\nbe leased for a term ot twenty-ono\nyears at an annual rental of $1 an acre.\nNot more than 2,500 acres wil be leased\nto one applicant.\nApplication for 'a lease must be made\nby the applicant In person to tho\nAgent or Sub-Agent of tho district In\nwhich tho rights applied for are situated,\nIn surveyed territory the land must be\ndescribed by HC-ctluns, or legal sub-divisions of soctlons, and In unnurvoyod-\nloiTltory tho tract applied for shall bo\nstaked out by the applicant himself,\nEach apllcatlon must bo accompanied\nby a foo l>f |i> which will bo rofundod If\ntlio rights applied for aro not available,'\nbut not otherwise.

Not being1 in\n1hc know, it is difficult to say what is in the air,-but\nthis much we may rest assured of, that Mr. McBride\nhas not, seen fit to do so for Ihe purpose of giving\nthe workers of this province any advantage''or benefit. He has not taken this whim or fancy in his\nhead for our good. Tt is quite posible that an election is in perspective iu the near future and that the\nworkers, to his mind, have been too active in getting\nregistered, hence by cancelling the old lists and calling for a new ono he stands to lose nothing and to\ngain much. Tlie election iii all probability will lie\na dominion one. Tlie Borden naval measure is giving tho government much trouble and the Liberals\nmay force the Premier to go to the country with it.\nThe government will, of course, resist, by all means\na tits disposal, an attempt to force a dissolution, but\npressure may be too strong against it. Signs are\nnot wanting to show the desperate attempt on the.\npart of the federal government to hang on to power,\nthe main one being its extraordinary refusal to submit a redistribution measure at this session of parliament. There never has been a case in the history\nof Canada where redistribution has been so long delayed, following a decennial census. However, one\nthing is certain and that is that the workers of this\nprovince must see that they get on the voters' roll\nbefore April 7th. Thc list of commissioners for the\npurpose of registering voters for'the year has so far.\nnot been announced, but it is expected to appear in\nthis week's government gazette, in which*-event it\nwill be published in next week's issue of the Ledger.\ntruths.., This is a1 painful process, to maiiy, but. in\norder to see the realization'bf the triumph \"of.an\nintelligently organized democracy ^ this -apparent\nsacrifice must be made, and remember that it is only\nby solidarity that the workers cah'hope for survival\nin the struggle of \"the fittestlto survive,'V^-for are\nthey not \"the real men?\" .'.

The individual is the product of\nheredity and environment and the intellectual is\ngenerally attracted to the Socialist movement by\nsentimental or intellectual reasons, and if he finds\nthat the struggle for existence necessitates his withdrawal from active work in thc class struggle he\nbecomes more or less a nonentity in so far as the\nprogress of the movement is concerned. \"The moral duty of an individual never exceeds his interests.\nThe only thing which exceeds those interests is th\",\nMATERIAL power of the generality over the individuality.\" (Diotzgen.) Tho so-called'Progressive'\nparty is reactionary and every scientific Socialist\n'knows it is the outcome of certain economic conditions, just as much as the growth of Socialism is tho\nresult of specific economic conditions prevailing in\nvarious countries. It is impossible for any intellectual, however gifted, to maintain that he oan' bc both\nn reactionary and revolutionary at one and the same\ntimo. That he may gather some of thc spoils from\ntho camp of thc reactionary politicians is to his immediate material interests, perhaps, but ennnot bo\npalmed off as a gain for the working class, whom\nthey desire to delude.\nTo our minds, however, thc most important aspect of this matter is the lifting of tho veil hiding\ntha hypocrisy of those desirous of dominating the\naffairs of tho peoplo. Many people imagine that\npoliticians nre really \"good\" men, and by good we\ndo not mean tho mushy sentimentalists of the Sunday school variety, It is thc custom of politicians\nNecking tho suffrago to pander to nil, or ns many as\npossible, of tho potty prejudices of the people, taking particular \"pains not to jolt them from their inbred superstitions and blind faith in thc so-called\ntruths they have had inculcated into thorn from the\nearliest days\u00E2\u0080\u0094Riich as religion, patriotism, and re-\nflpoctnbility. However, Iho politician has learned\nfrom experience that no supernatural powora intervene in tho nffftirn of thin mundane sphere and ho\nhas come to see tlmt that much despised doctrine of\nmatoi'ialisin is the only mothod whon dealing with\npractical affairs.

At the same time realize\nthat it is not alone in Mexico that tyranny reigns\nbut in othor and so-called more enlightened countries, hence the working class everywhere ought to\nrecognize the fact that so long as they remain pawns\non tho profit-producing chessboard thoy can expect\nho emancipation from tho yoko of capitalism. .\nClassified Ads.-Gent a Word\nTO RENT\u00E2\u0080\u0094Large-,house..

H.- Pi Desbor-\nough, Professor H.-B. Dixon and Dr.\nW. C Blackett-^eals'with the relative\ninflammability of various coal-dusts.\nAbout half the report'is taken up by\nextensive\"-extracts from two papers\nwhich the chemists to the committee,\nDr. R. V. Wheeler and J. Burgess, read\nbefore the Chemical society; in 1910\nand 1911. The-report is thus largely\nchemical; but the question of inflammability has,- of course, a wide interest. *. ' '\nThe degree of inflammability of a\ncombustible material, it is pointed out,\nmay-be defined as the degree of ease\nwith which its oxidation can be effected so as to produce flame. The Inflammability would thusr in the first\ninstance, depend upon thet chemical\naffinity of the material for oxygen,\nand, secondly, on its physical condition. That all finely powdered combustible materials are explosive', has\n.long been recognized. To determine\nthe affinity the chemist should know\nthe chemical nature and constitution\nof his material. Engineers- would expect that chemists would be able to\ntell them all about the constitution of\na particular coal, if that, knowledge\nw^re of' any real practical advantage.\nAs a matter of fact the constitution of\ncoal'is\" obscure. It is difficult to ascertain that a certain , coal\u00E2\u0080\u0094one of\nthose experimented',_ with\u00E2\u0080\u0094 contains\nabout 63 per cent of fixed carbon,' 2 ot\nmoisture, 3 of ashes, \"and 33 of volatile matter, and that further analysis\nyields ahout 87' per, cent carbon, 5 of\nhydrogen,- 7 of oxygen, 1.5 of nitrogen,\nand nearly \"2 of sulphur..' The fixed\ncarbon; it is-well understood, consists\nchiefly, of , carbon and -hydrocarbons j-\nbut the 'question^ aij>to which are the\nreal constituent^'' and in which' way\nthey are united/is not easily-answered. * Two metjiods of investigation are\npossible,- In the first method the, attempt is made to extract different constituents from the coal as it is, by\nmeans of various solvents\u00E2\u0080\u0094chloroform\nbenzine; the constituents so isolated\nare generally resinous, difficult to\nidentify, and they form \"only'a'small\nportion of the coal. Bedson'introduced pyridine as the solvent, and the\n-committee_has_made._use\u00E2\u0080\u0094of-It._\u00E2\u0080\u009ET:hfe.\nother method is that of destructive\nF. C. Lawe\nAlex. I.

In\nthis instance the relative ignition tern-,\nperature, at which a few carbon par-,\ntides burnt on the platinum without\ncausing a flame, was estimated' .at\n1015 degrees, Cent. In general, short\nbright flames traveled faster' than\nlong' duller flames:, > The' flame was\npropogated also against the direction\nof the travel of the dust cloud, but the\nease of ignition ' was -not always a\nmeasure of the \"ease of, propagation\nof~the inflammation.
