It.will be asked wherein lies the danger, to the strikers, Let\nus analyze the project and see. '\n. The essence of the official-'circular\ncalling for a vote on the question is\nkind, and before the vote can\" be\ntaken, returned and tabulated and the\nresult announced, winter will be at\nhand, and a consequent lessening of\nwork In- the buildings and other\ntrades, which will add to the number\nalready unemployed.\nIncluded in the remaining 5& per\ncent, are1 the miners employed by the\nVancouver-Nanaimo Coal Mining Company on the \"Island, and those who are\nemployed in the Crow's Nest Pass\ncountry of Eastern British Columbia,\nall of whom are members of the United Mine Workers of America and\nworking under joint agreements which\nneither the terms of the agreements\nnor, the. laws of their .Union will allow\nthem to violate by unitedly suspending work for 48 hours. So that in\nvoting in the affirmative on the question the striking miners, who are also\neligible to vote, will occupy the rather\n[strange position of fighting to,secure\na joint agreement yet advising others\nto violate agreements already secured.\nThe position of the miners in the\nCrow's Nest Pass will be -hest explained by a quotation of-a section of their\njoint agreement, which follows: <\n\"When any employee absents himself from \"his work for a period of\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0w^twoTdays,\u00E2\u0080\u0094unIess-'through\"'5ickne\"ss7\nor by first having properly arranged with the Pit Boss,of Foreman\nand obtained his consent; he may\n- be discharged.

If the B.^C. Federation\nof Labor want to be helpful to the\nstrikers\u00E2\u0080\u0094and we believe they do\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nthere is a way. The way Is not spectacular, but it is sensible. The miners ,of Cumberland and Ladysmith\nhave endured the rigors of one winter\nsince the strike began, and unless the\nmine owners change their attitude,\nthe strike will extend throughout the\ncoming winter. . Shoes, clothing and\nfuel will be needed by the ' strikers\nand if the workers of. British Columbia were to raise a fund to furnish\nthese necessities it would bring joy\nto suffering men, women and children,\nand would be a substantial indication\nthat they are opposed to the use of\nmilitary to defeat the workers, and\n'they are indeed in sympathy with the\nstriking miners. This is a suggestion\nand not an appeal. However, one day's\npay donated to relieve the distress of\nthe strikers will not mean as much\nto the donators as two days' work\nlost for no avail, and it is a plan that\nwill not injure those who contribute.\nFRANK FARRINGTON.\nTRAIN WRECK\nINJURES\nMANY\nPennsylvania Fast Passenger' Meets\nDisaster by Striking Raised Rail\nCINCINNATI, Ohio; Sept. 9\u00E2\u0080\u0094A long\njllfltance telephone message from Wy-\nlie station, where the Pennsylvania\ntrain was wrecked this mdT-ning, states\nthat there were none killed, twelve\nare seriously injured and about' a\ndozen sustained more or less minor\ninjuries.\nNone of, the coaches nor the engine\nturned, completely over according to\nthis information.\nEarlier Reports\nNEW MADISON, Ohio; Sept. or\u00E2\u0080\u00941\nReports reaching here are th\ thirty-\nfive to forty persons have been injured in a wreck of the Pennsylvania\nfast passenger train five miles west\nof this city.

Till then.\nI .had measured it in terms oj money,\nso much per ton. Now I measure it\nin. terms of \u00E2\u0080\u00A2mutilat.ion, agony.-and\ndeath. For yesterday I visited Radley,\none of the hig Kansas mining - camps,\nwith \"Jake\" Sheppard, the Socialist\nattorney, so much of whose life, ds\nspent in defending the miners' claims,\nand who is loved and reverenced by\nall the, miners for many miles around.\nNeedless to say, in passing,-thai\"the\ncoal operators and the dividend eaters\ndo1 ntot reverence or love him.',\n, ,Radley.. Under the\" glare of the red\nsun, getting beyond the skyline of the\nprairie,' it lies sprawled out and frightfully ugly, a tanglo of'shacks and hovels scattered along ragged, weedy\nroads,, with here-ancl th&re a slattern\nstore or two. Everywhere great grey\nculm-piles, with smoke vomiting chimneys and tall,- ungainly plt-h-ouaes,\nBony dags and starved cats; half-\ndressed children, swinging on rickety\ngates or. running, In the roads, \"or\nBtamidng\" staring, wide-eyed at us. And\nthe men\u00E2\u0080\u0094! Lame mon, legless men\nand armless men, one-eyed men, blind\nmen, men with faces twisted and distorted and' blue from powder explosions. -Cripples , at-wholesale,- praise\nbe to Old King Coal!\n' -We visited a Hungarian widow\u00E2\u0080\u0094and\nthere be many widows at Radley, as ln\nall the mining camps. Last week her\nman was brought ^h'ome on a shutter.\nThe company hadn't bothered about\nthe necessary props. It had taken, a.\nchance to save a_dollar or so. Now\nthe-Hungarian woman has the world\nto face, with eight children on her\nhands. Her damage suit will be contested by the best legal brains that\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0money. (ctoal money) can buy. At Radley, the Injury or killing of a miner Is\nmerely a matter of routine. \u00E2\u0080\u00A2\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 It scarcely attracts comment.\nAnother \"home\" we visited. There,\nin all the heat and dust bf the July\nevening, lay on a tumbled bed a thing\nthat only three days before had been a\nstrong, active, vigorous man_of forty,\nfull \"of \"hope \"55d\"c6'nfidence\"and love\nfor the family now left wrecked and\nhelpless on the shoals of Coaldom. A\nman, three days ago; ' insufficient\nprops In the'coal chamber; crash! \u00E2\u0080\u0094\nand, after his mates had pried off the\nenormous boulder, they bore the\ncrushed and bleeding body to his wife\nin .tlie shanty near the pit-mouth. ' I\nlooked at Ms 'body, rigid .in a huge\nplaster ,cast; and out through tlie\nwindow at the pithouse I gazed, black\nagainst' the, blood-red sunset\u00E2\u0080\u0094aiid I\nthought. ...\nRigid, motionless, paralyzed for life,\nthe Slovak lay there, unintelligible to\nus\u00E2\u0080\u0094surrounded\"\"by ^s. roomfuPo'fTfnT\nrelatives and friends.

As tlie /shadow of the pit-\nhouse fell across the window, darkening it, my heart grew very hot within\nme. How long shall God be God? \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 We got' his simple story, through a\ncomrade :\vho could speak German ales. First, Sheppard had to give \"me\nthe question In English, which I passed along to the friend, in German, and\nwhich, he translated into Slavonian.\nThe answer came back the same-way.\nImagine something of the difficulty of\nthat.conversation. But there was not\nmuch to learn. Always the same olvd\nnarrative\u00E2\u0080\u0094^failure of the company to,\nput in props, with the inevitable catastrophe. \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 The man informed us that,\nimmediately ' after \"\"tne accident, thc\ncompany'had fully propped the chamber. These futile props \"Will be offered In evidence as a defense, on King\nGoal's part. -Ingenious King Coal!\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 The paralyzed miner looked nt us\nw.ui dumb, appealing eyes of pain, as\nwe took our leave. We were Socialists, ho knew; wo would help him.\nAgainst the ravening greed of capital,\nonly to Socialism could be look for\nhelp. And he was typical. The miners, all through the coal field,. know\nnow, and ^understand! Our speakers\ngo among them, and through Interpre\nters spread the message of emancipation, eagerly received and cherished.\nThe Appeal goes everywhere among\nthem; and ln the \u00E2\u0096\u00A0little huts and cabins\nsome miner, wiser than the rest, deciphers the word and haltingly translates it, -while the others listen, ponder, and with \"deeper thoughts than we\ncan know, claBp this new hope to their\nwronged souls. .\nThe great majority of all these men,\ntoday, are Socialists. -A non-Socialist\nis looked on as a scab, and hated' as a\ntraitor. The region is under the administration of Socialist officials, as a\nresult of .the active campaign carried\non there' by the Appeal.

Nor would the sheriff be permitted by an evasion to break the\nplain intent of the law.\nc\n, Note how it works out: The sheriff\ncdn only deputize citizens of the state\nto aid in the enforcement of law, but\nthere are not enough citizens who\nwill beat up and kill peaceable strikers to suit the mining companies\u00E2\u0080\u0094and\nthe will of the C. & li. rules in\nHoughton county.

They are not content to murder themselves, they must\nInitiate and train others in the noble\nart of shooting down defenseless strikers.

The\ngrowers who have worked\nso hard to hrlng the fruit\nto maturity, the shipping\nagencies,, and the transportation companies are\n, powerless to do anything to\nstop the wholesale ruin\nwhich has come to such a\nlarge percentage of. this\n-. year's record fruit yield.\nThe old cry about \"putting the farmer on liis\nfeet as a publicity stunt is pretty well worn and we\ndo riot think that Mr. Scott's optimism will influence, to any large extent, the educated farmer or\nworker of Canada. ' This year's crop will do no\nmore for the farmer than it has done in previous\nyears.-A large crop means small-prices invariably.\nReferring to the other cutting we learn, upon inquiring of the local stores, that the price of peaches\nthis week end will be about $1.25 per box. Now, in\nspite of the glut of luscious,fruit, how many will\n. be able to secure even one case? Can you imagine\nfor a minute any system more idotie or ludicrous\nthat permits one section of the community .'' to get\non;its feet\" (?) as a result of a bumper crop, while\nto the other section it means possibly ruin!\nThis bumper crop will do the farmer as much\ngood as the fruit growers.

The farmer, when he raises\na big ci;op, finds himself up against the market or\nthe elevator companies,, while the fruit grower gets\nhis handed him by the transportation companies,\nand the two of them are between an existence and,\nm most cases, \"Canada's principal ruler\" (the C.\nP.R.). .\nThis leads us to another point. Many shallow-\nminded individuals may bc heard complaining that\nthe miner does not, dig more coal because he is lazy.\nIt never occurs to most of theso boneheads that if\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 all the diggers were smitten with a desire to break\nrecords the immediate-result would be an increased\noutput and if the market were not ready, over\nproduction.\nThe first consideration when employees ask for\nan increase is \"IIow much aro thoy receiving?\"\nOf course, some would like us to say \"enrning.\"\nBut it is never a question of what a man can\n\"earn,\" it is whnt he \"receives.\" The coal operators arc not out to let a man \"receive Whnt he\nearns\"\u00E2\u0080\u0094ho must \"earn what ho receives.\" Paradoxical! No, not nl oil. Their prices arc not governed by how much energy he puts forth to earn\na ton, but they arc governed by what he receives\nper ton, Jf thorn iR too much conl, tho compnny\nmust suspend operations or cut prices; if there is\ntoo much fruit tho grower will got less. It is Llui\nresult of our glorious system that when nnturo is\nbounteous, or tho producer produces too much, ho\nis compelled lo suffer as n consequence.\nto'/defeat the strikers. \"The, position of the.employers,\" says tho judge, \"that withdrawal from\nmembership in the Federation must be a' condition\nprecedent to re-employment, is arbitrary'and un-,\ntenable. In principle,' if an employee can do this,\nhe can with like propriety compel withdrawal from\nany political, religious pr social body as a condition\nof employment. In this intense situation, where\npower should be used-, generously and gently, it is\na policy which will set men's teeth evoke in strikers the spirit of ioyaity'and sacrifice and make,\nthem ready, to suffer desperate hardships before\nacknowledging any such right in the employer.\"\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 The mine workers on Vancouver Island! are struggling against, not only the coal operators, but one\nof the most autocratic oligareies that ever disgraced the name of the British Constitution. The flagrant breaches of the Mines Regulation Act which\nwere permitted by the coal operators'was condoned\nby the Minister of Mines for B. C. (Sir Richard\nMcBride) when he deliberately refused to investigate the case of the men. As a result of his attitude the Coal Mines Regulation, which calls for the\nappointment of gas committees, is being openly disregarded in most of the mining camps of British\nColumbia today. The men realize that they must\ndisregard the legislation,enacted for their benefit\nor run the risk of creating trouble and possibly,\nstrikes. It is positively asinine to expect the worker to serve on gas committees when he knows that\nhe is likely to be discriminated against if he obeys\nthe act, and that his .zealousness may cost him his\njob.; Jobs arc too few and men too many.\nV'\nNmww the District\n- ti'\",, *,\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 **' ^ \u00C2\u00A3'\u00C2\u00BB\ *^ \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 * *'' ^ ,'~ t. *'* **\n^'S:,;V'' (Continued from Page sy\\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0096\u00A0vs. *.\n'~\\nWHY WE ORGANIZE\nAs wage earners'we organize in trade unions to\nimprove the wages and working and living conditions' of labor\u00E2\u0080\u0094not merely, to benefit ourselves in a\nselfish-sense as individuals, but, through the collective effort of the whole mass of labor, to benefit,\nthe entire wage-earning class.\nIn a large sense we are essentially opportunists.\nWe gain an advance or an improvement for ourselves whenever an opportunity offers and we are\nready tottake advantage of it. Many of such opportunities are lost because of large groups of wage\n.earners being''unorganized. The trade union movement, strong as it is, with, all its proud record of accomplishment, still embraces much.less than one-\nthird of the wage earners; the remaining more than\ntwo-thirds being free lances in the field of labor.\nMany of these unattached wage earners are' in\nsympathy with the aims and purposes of organized\nlabor, but still we can riot count on the support of\nthose who have-.not allied themselves with,us.

Dean\nread a paper dealing with coal inining\nin the United States as he had observed it, with especial reference to the\ntreatment of coal dust, and haulage\nby electrical locomotives. The substance of his paper is herewith .presented.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Editor C. & C. O.)\nSince 1899 the United States, have\nbeen the chief coal-producing country\nof the world: Last year 28 States produced nearly 512,000,000 short tons.\nThe quantity of coal mined in 1850\nwas 7,078,181 short tons; in 1900 it\nwas 269,684,027 short tons. It is not\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2ncommon to find an average production of six long tons per hewer per\nsh|ft of eight hours in miners where\nthe seams are 5 feet and 6 feet thick.\nThese figures are a'.l the more remarkable when the fact that 90 per cent, of\nthe men working ln tho mines in many\nparts of the country today are from\neastern and southern Europe is taken\nInto consideration, and that probably\nnot more than 10 per cent of them\nhave had any mining experience before crossing the Atlantic.\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0The customary method of working\nIn seams of varying thickness all, over\nthe country is that known as room-\nand-pillar. A main slope, - generally\nused as \"a main rope-haulage way, is\ndriven dowfl on the dip of the seam\nparallel -with a back slope, which is\nused as an intake or return airway.\nAt Intervals of about 1,200 feet, pairs\nof main entries or levels are turned\noff the main slope to both the right\nand left, and pairs of cross-entries or\nheadings',* each pair being about 600'\nfeet apart, are driven to the rise of\nthese. To the,right and left of the\ncross-entries are turned at right angles\u00E2\u0080\u0094generally at about 45 feet centres, each room being driven narrow\nfor a distance of 25 feet and then widened outkto a width of 20 feet, lesiving\npilla\"rs\"25 feet \"wider The length' of the'\nrooms is 300 feet\u00E2\u0080\u0094half the distance\nbetween the cross-entries\u00E2\u0080\u0094and, when\nthe rooms have been driven that distance tlie work of extracting the pillars-is commenced. After large quantity of pillar coal has been driven that\ndistance the work of extracting the pillars is commenced. A large quantity\nof pillar coal has been lost in the past,\nbut there has been a great improvement in that respect iu recent years.\nAn^interesting fact is that it is customary to pay the same tonnage price\nas is paid in .the rooms and entries, or\nwhole workings. The entries, 9 feet\nWhy\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2taffy\nPay\nRerat?\nWhen you can own\nyour own home?\nWe have for sale\nLots in town and Lots\nin subdivision in Coleman at all prices.

The\ntotal haulage labor cost is usually not\nmore than five^cents per long ton. In\na mine in Pennsylvania, a H0-ton locomotive hauled about J 50,000 tons of\ncoal in a year at a cost of less than\none-twentieth of a penny . (2 cents)\nper ton for repairs. The usual train is\nmade up of from 30 to 4i) tubs, each\nloaded. with about 3,700 pounds of\ncoal,'which Is hauled up a gradient of\n.1 in 100. The cost was Ut-d (3 cents)\nper long ton.
