A distinction is made, however, by labor,leaders between the revolutionary general 'Strike and a reformatory general strike. In other j. words,\nthere are those who believe that shorter hours, higher- pay,, and better conditions'-generally- might be obtalneM\nfor the working class by a' generW\ncessation of work. In this country it\nis, urged by some tbat a general strike\nfor the purposes of reform might bfe\nmore, effective than -..political actioh,-\nbecause no trickery of_ the corrupt\npolitical .-machines and.no vote of presidents or supreme courts, can. outlaw\nreforms gained through strilce's This\nof course makes the arguments of\nthose who adyocate the1\" general strike\nhere appear even stronger than they\ndo elsewhere.\"\nLet us, therefore, examine the.gen-\neral\"strike as a weapon to accomplish\nthis more restricted purpose, and see\nwhether \"or not it-is likely to be a\nsuccess., \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 Haywood and other leaders\nof the strike of the textile workers of\nLawrence, announced at one. time that\nthey were \"considering the matter, of\nhaving, every, textile worker in the\nUnited \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 States quit, work. This may\nor may not have been a'hluff. It probably was a bluff, because such a general strike is inconceivable where the\nworkers are unorganlzed^or are organized ln rival unions. But suppose it\nhad been possible. Suppose, for the\nsake of example, .every textile worker\nIn the United States would haveJeft\nwork upon the' demand of Haywood.\nThere would,then have existed a\ncomplete general industrial strike\nthat would have paralyzed every textile mlll-.in the country.

Whether it\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 ttjR be called'the Minister of Red Eye Lotion, or\nthe Minister of the Bottling Department, or whether some more highsounding title would be coined\nis left for the intellectual crowd at present in\ncharge of the destinies of the Province to determine.\nPerhaps, as an incentive to those who delight in\nworking out problems, it might be a \"good plan for\nprizes to be offered to anyone who would suggest\nthe most appropriate name for this addition to the\nprovincial executive. Some mental genius has\ndiscovered that because of the sun's rays upon glass\nbottles heat is generated and fires result, therefore\nit is advisable tjp have individuals employed for the\npurpose of collecting, these possible, implements of\ndestruction. As this danger is one that threatens\nthe Department under the supervision of our Fer-~\nnfe representative, W. R. Ross, perchance.he might\naccept a kindly suggestion that when the fire wardens are out in quest of possible conflagrations a\nspecially appointed officer should accompany them\nwhose duty it shall be to keep an accurate tab of\nall the\" bottles carried by the fire fighters and as\nthese become \"dead soldiers\" pick them up, loading them into, a'suitable conveyance-until some\npoint may be reached where they can\" be conven-\ni'ently..dumped. As likely candidates for the' office\nnt such vital importance would suggest the individ-\n' uals who .were instrumental in thc closing of the\nworkingmen's clubs, both at Coal Creek and Fernie,\n, should be given the first opportunity to accept or\nreject as they may deem fit.g. We will give our\nreaders further information on this subject at a not\nfar distant date because we are thoroughly satisfied there will be.no possibility of any member of\nthc Socialist'Party being more fitted to fulfill the\nduties of the office than are quite a number of Mr.\nRoss' own followers, therefore, any competition\nthat may arise will necessarily bc. limited ,to the\n\"true blue.\"\nThere ir only one other recommendation we\nwould make, but we doubt if it would bc acceptable, viz. that hereafter only total abstainers should\nbo employed as fire-wardens, and that their connection with the fire-warden department should bc\n^totally sfree from any connection with the \"fire\nwater\" department.\n*\u00E2\u0080\u00A2;- ^The editor of the Saturday, Sunset-has received\nnumerous complaints of the operations of a sub-\n-, , ,* % - -\--fT-\" t**.^.-t,\J.- t'r'\njKjfiption agent^ctmg for acertafn^magazin^pubj:\nIfshed in this^crbj,' by whom (the name^df both .tlie.-\n'Sjaturday Sunsi^:'ahd it^editor\"have;fewn'\"iUsed''to*\npromote\"the.sale' bf certain subdivision lots near\nWhite Rock, a seaside resort,\"not,very,, prominent\nas fcuch however, near the boundary. _>.;!_ *' >. -1--> '*-';\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\n^. - \u00E2\u0080\u009EThe editor while' in Chilliwack this-week/met\nwith many indignant\"subscribers to the, magazine\nwho waiited tq_ kno,w about certain things, -lAs I.\nwaB entirely ignorant of the affair I asked my\ interrogators for an explanation, which was given' to\nme in large and fluent blocks.\" ,\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0s- \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 The first man who. talked to me was a^tnercjiant\nwhom I know-well aud with whom I have done considerable business. - His story as as follows: \"\n>J-A certain-individual had approached him in\nthe interests of the magazine in \"question; x The\nagent represented that the Saturday Sunset' was\ninterested in the publication and as I am fairly\nwell known in Chilliwack, as th$ merchant explained, the man's bonafides, and his proposition were\nreceived without question. His proposition-was\nthat for every two-dollar subscription to the magazine the subscriber would have the privilege of purchasing a lot at a place called Whit Rock Heights\nfor which the insignificant sum of thirty-five dollars would.be charged. The lots were sold subject\nto inspection, and, the merchant told me, if they\nwere not satisfactory the subscriber would at least\nget value for the deposit money by a year's subscription to the magazine. In all, seven subscriptions and sales of lots were made in that onestpre,\nthe young lady clerks among others * taking lots.\nAbout forty lots were sold in the town.\nAfter the^transaction the purchasers delegated\na committee to go to White' Rock Heights and see\nthe lots. The merchant describing them to me\nsaid they were up on a bench, not near the sea.\nThere was no road or trail to them. To get to\nthem one would need hip boots to wade through\nthe swamp. The lots were covered with fallen\ntimber and stumps, some of which would cost a\nhundred dollars to take out. He and others who\nspoke to me about them expressed the opinion that\nthe transaction was nothing less than a swindle.\nAfter hearing the report of the committee the subr\nscribers decided to refuse to take the.lots, which\nthey accordingly did.\nI understand the salesman who made the canvas in Chilliwack is now operating around Fernie\nand the people of that city and district would be\nwell advised tb give him a wide berth if he is still\nusing the name of this paper or in any other way\ntrading upon the standing of the Saturday Sunset,\n.its_publishers-or-,'editor;'~for--he_has_no_autliority,\nwhatever for doing so.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Saturday Sunset, Vancouver.\n\u00C2\u00A3&?,*\u00E2\u0096\u00A0?-\u00E2\u0096\u00A0>>?\u00E2\u0096\u00A0' \u00C2\u00BB' -rX't3-' *' r**\nowner of.a^bloct\nJwJraK^'wbrked'.by the\nV.

In our opinion ln some of the \"camps it will\ncause a strike. However, knowing it will be a long and tedious Job ;to organize this\" field wo would recommend forming a' sub-district to bo attachod to\nDistrict 18.
