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.

Amnions, \\(ho has won for\nhimself the title of chief lickspittle of\nthe coal operators, is out lu a new\nrole\u00E2\u0080\u0094this time writing letters to be\nused as press matter for the Colorado\ncoal operators.\nWhen the strike .was called, Ammons began at once to use the influences of his office for the operators. The State militia was sent into\nthe strike sone, at a cost to the tax-.\npayers of $1,000,000 to protect coal\n' barons' property at the expense of\n.personal rights and constitutional\ngovernment.\nThe slaughter of the innocents at\nLudlow was done by his eunmen-mi-\nlitla.\nNow that the Federal troops are in\nthe field and he cannot use State\nRowers to aid the coal operators, Ammons is writing wilful and deliberate\nlies in the form of letters to newspapers to Ibe used as \"copy\" for the\noperators.\nHis first effort was spent in a talk\non \"the other gunmen\" in the coal\nstrike. He mentions the several notorious thugs who were killed when\nthe gunmen of industry attacked the\npeaceful strikers, trying to (bring out\nthe point, of course, that the strikers\nwere \"the other gunmen.\"\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2But he says nothing of the twelve\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2* < children slaughtered and cremated at\nLudlow by his gunmen-militia, nor of\nthe other twenty-two strikers who\nhave lost their lives at the hands of\nthe operators' gunmen, in their effort\n W\"WTinn^naOTOTWTiT05ntftTrfree-\ndom in Colorado through an enforcement of the laws now on the statute\nbooks. .\nThe miners' stcnle committee met in\nDenver this week to make a scale for\ncontracts to be signed for two years\nbeginning September 1. Ne definite\ninformation has been given out, but it\nis believed that there will \"be few\nchanceB in the present scale.\nThere hip now thirty-five Independent operators working under a contract with the Unltod Mine Workers\nand other mine owners are contemplating the recognition of the Union.\nThe greater efficiency of Union\nlabor is clearly brought out ip the\ncurrent report of the State Inspector\nof Coal .Mines.\nThe report shows that mines working under an agreement with the\nUnited r.Mine Workers are producing\nalmost twice their normnl tonnage\nwhile the operators employing scaSi labor are only \"getting out\" about one-\nthird their normal output.\nAspirants for State and county offices will undergo a rigid examination\nnext week when the State Federation\nof Labor me^ts at Pueblo.\nFor years the workers of Colorado\nhave been buncoed by the .pre-election\nfriends of labor. The present strike\nof the coal miners, however, has\ntaught them a lesson severe enougn to\nmake them realize that they must\nstand together at the coming eleciion\nand go down the line for real friends\nof organized labor or else suffer intermittent outrages such as lhat at\nL.idlow.\nTbe end and final shake-up of the\nColorado National Guard may come\nthia week. It Is understood that Chase\nhas refused to pay those .men connected with the Ludlow massicie\nwho have been awaiting the veridct\nof the military (?) courtmartia'. If\nhe. holds up their money, they have\nthreatened to,sue him and Stit-i. as\nwell as \"to tell a few things they\nknow about the.milltla.\"\nIf they do tell even a few things\nIsland Workers\nVote to Resume Work\nWe are in receipt of a wire from Robert Foster,\nPresident District. 28, U. M. W. of A., stating that\nthe strike on the Island has been officially called\noii today.\nThe telegram, which gives no particulars as to\nterms, is as follows:\nNANAIMO, B. 0., Aug. 20.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Late propositions\nfrom Premier McBride accepted. Vancouver Island\nstrike will be officially declared off today. Result\nof vote, 1,030 for proposition. 363 against.\nROBERT FOSTER.\nIt is just possible that the present war may have\ninfluenced McBride to take action and compel the\noperators to offer better terms than heretofore.\nHowever, in the absence of details and until .conditions upon which work has been resumed are\nmade known we do not desire to express an opinion.. One thing, however, is certain, viz., that the\nstriking miners, backed by the U. M. W. of A., have\nput up a splendid fight. The fight has meant imprisonment and death to more than one, and at the\nlast moment the International was compelled to\nwithdraw its support. Although this last meant\nstarvation to them, the men never flinched, but\nfought right on, and even to the last, as the ballot\nshows, there was still an element strongly against\ncompromise in any shape.\nWe hope to be in a position to supply our readers with further news next week.\nLatest War News\nIKeyTfiSow aSontTRe Colorado national\ngunmen, tlie world will Btand aghast\nat the horrorB of military rule in tlie\ncoal strike zone.\nPoor EllaB M.

C, AUGUST 22, 1914\nWorkmen's Compensation\nBy Jas. H. McVety\nTHE WASHINGTON COMPENSATION ACT\nThe cost of compensation to injured\nworkmen in an Industry iucluded the\npremium paid toy the employer to the\ninsurance commission; the layers' fees\nfor fighting claims and the payment\nof the compensation itself where the\ncourt decision is iu favor of the\nworkman.\nAbsorbed by Parasites\nIn the State of Washington, prior to\nthe enactment of the new legislation dn\n1911, when all compensation was recovered by common law or employers'\nliability methods, it is estimated that\nthe workers actually received less\nthan \"0 per cent of the amount paid\nout by the employers for,the various\npurposes already mentioned, conclusively showing that 70 per cent of the\nfunds were absorbed by parasitic lawyers and insurance companies.\nUnder the new system, where the\nState taxes the industries directly,\naccording to the cost of accidents in\nthe various classifications, administering the amount received through\na State Board of Commissioners, without the interference of insurance\ncompanies, lawyers or courts, the\nworkers now receive 90 per cent of\nthe amount taxed for the industries.\nReason for Opposition\nThe CO per cent of difference between what the workman formerly received and what his present portion\namounts to .reveals the very excellent\nreason for the vicious opposition of\nthe lawyers and Insurance companies\nto the passage of the Washington as\nwell as all other legislation of a similar nature.\n.For the purpose of comparison with'\nthe 'British Columbia Act, the salient\nfeatures of which have been already\ncovered, the more important points\nof the Washington legislation follow:\nProvisions Reviewed\n..Compensation Is paid for injuries\ncausing disability of T, per cent or\ninjuries intentionally incurred.\nThe industries covered include all\nextra hazardous employment, including mills, factories and workshops\nwhere machinery is used; blast furnaces, mines, quarries and wharves,\nengineering works; logging lumbering and shipbuilding; building trades,\n(without, the B. C. restriction as to\nheight of buildings); telegraph, telephone, electric light or power plant\nor lines; steambonts, tugs and ferries;\njailrsa!issj^6pLj'is_gQvflr*nod-.-5>y~K*s-d\u00C2\u00AB-j\nera! statute; State county and municipal undertakings Involving extra hazardous work ln which persons are employed for wages.\nBurden of Payment\nThe entire burden of payment rests\non the employer.\nCompensation for death Is paid at\nthe rate of $7.1 for burial of deceased\nworkmen without dependants. . To\nwidow or invalid widower, a monthly\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0payment of $20; to each child under\n1C years of age, %:, per month, the total not, however, to exceed J3.\"> per\nmonth.\nIn cases where \"no parent survives,\na monthly payment to each child of\n$10 ppr month, tlio total not to ex-\nreed l\u00C2\u00BB.1.\nTo other dependants, if none of\nthose already mentioned survive, a\nmonthly payment to each equal to 50\nper cent of the average amount previously contributed to the dependant,\nthe total not to exceed $20.\n;To the .parent or parents of unmarried minors a monthly payment of\n$20 until the time he would have become 21 years of age.\nPayments to a widow or widower\ncontinue until death or remarriage,\nand to a child until reaching the age\noi; 16 years. If a widow remarries,\nshe receives a lump sum of $240.\n\" Disability Allowances\nFor permanent total disability unmarried workers (at the time of accident) are paid $20 per month; if\nwith a wife or invalid husband, ibut no\nchildren under 16 years of age, $25\nper month; if the husband is not an\ninvalid, $15 per month; If a widow or\nwidower with a child or children under\nIG years of age, $5 per month for each\nchild, total not to .exceed $35 per\nmonth.\nFor total temporary disability, payments are the same as for permanent\ndisability, increased by 50 per cent for\nfirst six months, but in no case to\nexceed 60 -per, cent of monthly wages.\nFor temporary partial disability, the\npayment as for total temporary disability continues in proportion to the\nloss of earning power, provided this\nshall not be In excess of 5 per cent,\nIn the cases of permanent partial\ndisability lump sum not \"to exceed\n$1,500; if the injured person is a\nminor, the parents, receive am additional sum, equal to 10 per cent of\nthe ward to the Injured person.\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0Monthly payments may. be converted into lump sum payments in\ncase of death or permanent total disability.\nReview by Courts\nAll payments and adjustments are\nmade Iby the State Board of three\ncomm-issoiners, but are subject' to\nreview by the superior court and to\nother higher courts in order of sequence.\nDesirable as the Washington legislation may appear from the following,\nmuch depends on the method of enforcement. Until last May, the workers were fortunate in having a representative on the Board of Commissioners, John H. Wallace, a coal\nminer from District 10 of the United\n.Mine Workers. Under his care the Interests of jinjured workorg were' falr-\nploye on the same form.\" A simple\nchange, designed to save stationery?\nNot at all. A deep laid plot to prevent\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0the worker making a true report of the\nconditions prevailing in the plant in\nwhich he was injured. The report\nblanks were supplied to the employer.\nThe employe, after the employer had\nfilled up his portion, called the employe into the office where he was'required to make his statement of how\nthe accident occurred. It requires no\ngreat stretch of imagination to see\nthat for fear of losing his job, his\nstatement will be the same as that of\nthe employer, thus covering up any\ndangerous condition; that would, if -it\n.became known, require the expenditure of profits to remedy.\nNumerous other faults \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 have -developed In the legislation, but lack of\ngpace prevents detailing them here.\nHowever, even were the act perfectly\nconstructed, it! successful operation\nwould still depend on having administrators willing to enforce Its provisions. The Ontario Aet will, be dealt\nwith next weok.\nly safe, but so zealous was he in a\ndesire to give fair treatment, that\nGovernor Lister, alleged to have at\none time been a Union molder, removed him from office.\nVigilance Necetiary\nEven with the vigilance of Wallace,\nnumerous schemes wero worked to\nmake the position of the injured person more difficult. One instance will\nsuffice. Tlie commission requires reports of all accidents from the employer as well as the employe, the\napplicant 'for compensation, Originally there were two forms provided,\none tor each, but during the absence\nof Wallace, the two oilier commissioners authorized the combining of\nthe reports of both employer and em-\nSTARVED ON $1.35 A WEEK\nAnother indictment of the system a\nmajority of the workers support\ncomes from Schenectady,- N. Y. It v days ago\nto say that she had seen young Up-\nlandtowers, who is something in the\nOhietf Whip's office (and is, incidentally, another of her unfortunate\nnephews), and that ho had told her an\nEast End constituency might be found\nfor me. ,\nOf course I swore when I got the\nletter. Tben I wrote to Celia about 'It.\nletter. Then I went to Celia about it.\n\"Look here old thing.\" 1^ said,\nLady Bountiful is trying to get me\nto stand for Parliament.\"\nCella muttered something about the\nbest regulated families, and I said,\n\"What on earth, .am Ito do about it?\"\n\"I liav-en't the slightest idea,\" said\nCelia. \"Do you think you would get\nelected, Algy, dear?\"\n\"Well, my love,'' I said, \"It's well\nwithin the realms of possibility.\"\n\"How unfortunate,\" said Celia.\n\"Terribly,\" I agreed. \"My golf\nhandicap Is 18 now. Heaven knows\nwhen I should get Jt down to scratch.\"\n\"I mean unfortunate for your constituents, dear,\"\" said Celia, with the\nsweetest of smiles.\nThe first battle of tbe war has ibeen i^at almost did it.

The cleanest\nand Most Up-to-date Retail\nEstablishment in Fernie\nAmerica was in it. Well, he Is. It is\ncertain that, taking advantage of the\ncollapse of watered stocks In America,\nEuropean capitalists thought they\nwould supplant financial dominations\nof the United States, and preclptate\nthe war in order to bring .bond .Issues\nand force the unloading of stocks ln\nAmerica. Europe went after American gold and got it. She sold American stocliB and caused such a decline\nas to close all stock exchanges lest\nthe falling values become known.\nBut American capitalists were\nready. They abandoned the gold standard and caused the President to issue\nhalf a billion dollars of Government\nnotes based on nothing, but these falling securities, They also Induced\nCongress to authorize American bank*\ners to Issue a billion dollars ln clearance house certificates. This meant\nthere would he no panic. It meant\nalso goofl business hero, while Euto-\npean business was closed down became of war. European rather than\nAmerican securities began to slump.\nHere is what I* \"on.\" as told In dis-\niwtcbea from Washington:\n\"'Heprosentatlves of New York foreign exchange houses left tonight for\nWashington to hold Sunday confer-\neuce wilh President Wilson. They\nplanned to suggest and unprecedented\nprocedure of advancing $|00,000,000\ncredit to England. Bankers from the\nprincipal cities arranged to meet In\nWashington Monday to formulate t|\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2it-Hi nf action.\"\n( Wall street Is again In the middle.\nj thanks to the tue of credits rather\n| than gold, it vindicates thc green*\nbacker* In their contention that money\n\u00C2\u00BBmt\u00C2\u00BBi on the nation's credit In the\nlicit In the world.\nHut If Amorlcan financiers are\n.main In control, Ktiropean caiiltalltti\nwill bo anxious to get what hond Issues\nIt tiiti um i\u00C2\u00BBpldl> as |i-u\u00C2\u00BBkitilt*, and then\nstop ihe war by refu*lng further credit\nto thp nations.

Unfortunately Billy Coat,\nwho is always hard up and has expectations ot Aunt Muriel, ^tolled In,\nand threatened to punch my head if I\ndid anything of the sort. So there\nwas no help for it, you see.\nA day of two later her benevolent\nladyship, who seemed to have turned\nherself into a sort of election agent,\nwrote to say that she had fixed up a\nmeeting of dock laborers, or something, ln connection with one of her\nagencies for the distribution of (bath\nbutts among \"the babies of the well-\nbehaved poor.\nI begged \"Cella to accompany me,\nbut she said she was adamant, whatever adamant may be.\n\"But, my love,\" I pleaded, \"I've got\nto address'this bally meeting, and I\ncan't speak.\"\n\"That,\" said Cella, \"is a great .pit?,\ndear old boy\u00E2\u0080\u0094but I suppose the poor\ndockers will survive It.\"\nWhen the wife of one's bosom la\nunsympathetic, a man can scarcely 'expect sympathy from a dowager aunt.\nAt any rate, I didn't get It.\n\"You simply must speak, my dear\nAlgeron,' said iMurlel, Countess of\nHendon, as we motored down to the\nwilds of East London. \"Look at your\nbrother William,\" I groaned.\nSho might well ask me to look at\nHilly float.

It would, without\nquestion be the worst war In history.\nOur age's boasted advance in science\nand art would but add to its horrors.\nThe stories of the number of men engaged and the casualties of ancient\nwars are subject to discount. Easy\ncalculations as to subsistence and\ntransportation show how Impossible\nwas the estimate of the size of\nthe army of Xerxes, for example. But\nthe 'present military' footing of the\nEuropean nations is not a matter of\nconjecture. Nor will these nations be\nrestricted to the primitive weapons\nof the ancients. All are supplied with\nmodern enginery of death-dealing efficiency.\nThe financial aspects alone cause\none to shudder. The very anticipation\nof such a stupendous conflict has\ncaused the stock exchanges throughout world to close, Great firms ln\nEurope and even in the United States\nhave gone to the wall. For the first\ntime In forty years the New York\nStock Exchange has been closed\nthrough fear. It Is estimated that lt\nwill cost $2.50 a day tor each soldier\nengaged in war. This seems too low\nfor actual battle, but when lt ls multiplied by the armies the nations are\nmarshaling the total staggers the Imagination. We but feebly try to\ncomprehend an expenditure pf $50,.\n000,000 a day. All of this would be\nwasted, for war does not create a cent\nof value, Its effect being wholly destructive. It is true that the men\nwould have to be fed and clothed and\ntransported and they must be equipped\nwith guns and ammunition.

It is a philosophy of\nhistory, a theory oi social dynamics.\nIn so far, however, as this definition\nis a rough and ready attempt to describe the general economic aim of\nthe Socialist movement aud the Socialist conception of the economic\nstructure of what they believe will\nbe the next stage in the evolution of\nsociety, it may be accepted, provided\nonly that we understand the lose sense\nln which the words \"the pieans of production, distribution and exchange\"\nare used. In certain cases jackknives\nand spades are \"means of production,\"\nbut Socialists do not contemplate iba\nsocialization of spades and wheelbarrows:. If they, obtained complete .control of the Government In any State,\nor in the nation, it is ridiculous tb\nsuppose that they would want to in-\nstituo the public ownership and control of jackknives and market baskets. To avoid captious criticism,\ntaerefore, it Is admitted that Socialism noes noflnvolve the ownership t.f\n, a'l Means of production, distribution\nand exchange.\n1' It were not that the q unifying\nword would cause confusion to readers\nam! hearers lather than ovove enlightening ard helpful, since it woulc1 convey no exact meaning to their minds,\nit would be better to say that Socialism involves the eocial ownership\nof the principal means of production,\ndistribution and exchange. Many\ncritics first set up a straw man which\nthey call \"Socialism,\" and then spend\ntheir time in gravely knocking him\ndown. First, they define Socialism as\ntke destruction of all private property,\nand then proceed to attack the huge\nbureaucracy of their own . creation.\nThey point to the existence of hundreds of thousands of small farms and\nMay thrive as bride, or belle, or flirt.*\nCloilies, then, Are necessaaies of life.\nIn a large sense they are- socfaliy\nnecess&iy, but they are peculiarly personal -in their use, and properly the\nsubject of private property. Social\nownership of men's pants and ladies'\nshirtwaists would be out of the ques-\ntion. Personal tastes, hygenic considerations, ahd the fact that they can't\nhe manufactured in any desired quan-\nity make the socialization of clothes\nan absurdity. Roads are quite as necs-\nsary to civilized man, socially and individually, as clothes. We must have\nroads at some sort, and good -roads\nare desirable. But roads cannot be\nmultiplied Indefinitely. Land is too\nvaluable and too limited to allow every citizen to make his own roads.\nBesides that, it would be physically\nImpossible to have every citizen\nmake aud own private roads to every\nplace he desired to go. The Idea of\nanybody not owning his own clothes\nand the idea of everbody owning(his\nown roads are equally fantastic. Just\nas a hat or a .pocket handkerchief is\na good illustration of private property,\nbeing something which the owner can\nuse personally, and without Injury or\ninconvenience to others, so the public\nstreet is a good illustration of -social\nownership and control\u00E2\u0080\u0094of active Socialism, Roads are a common necessity, and must be used in common. The\nhumblest and poorest child has Just\nas much,right to use the streets of a\ncity, and just as big a share in them,\nas the wealthiest millionaire.\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2So much for the principles which\ndistinguish private and social property,\nNow let us turn to the' production of\nthings. Shoes are today commonly\nmade in great factories which turn out\nthousands\u00E2\u0080\u0094and in some cases millions\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094of pairs every year. The workers in\nthese factories do not make all the\nshoes for themselves; they do not\nmake them for the use of the owners\nof the (factories. The shoes are made\nto.jup.ply the common demand for\nshoes from \"those who, while they\nmust wear shoes, cannot make them\nfor themselves. What interest, then,\nhave the owners of the shoe factories\nin the manufacture of so many shoes?\nSimply the desire to make profit out\nof the social need. They employ so\nJean Jaures' Death:\nA Great Loss to Labor's\nCause.\n^in^strles^iu-dBmuTrt-to-TOOT^qmany workers to make shoes and pay\nif the State is going to confiscate these\nand manage them Itself.\nOf course, the Socialists contemplate nothing of the kind.\nIt is inconceivable that the State\nwill ever attempt to take away the\nartist's brushes, the small farmer's\nfarm, or the tailor's needle and shears.\nThese are all means of production, it\nIs true, but so are the housewife's\nsewing machine, frying pan and a\nhundred other articles of dally use,\nthe socialization of which would be\nImpossible, and too absurd for anything but opera bouffe if It were possible. Tools and other necessities of\nproduction which are used by individual owners will, it Is certain, n#ver\nbe taken away by tho Stnte. Only tools\nthat arc so complex as to require asso\ndated use, Industries in whlrh there\nis a division of labor, and ownership\nof the necessary agencies of production by others thnn the produce\u00E2\u0084\u00A2, will\never be socialized. The only conceivable exception to this would be\ncases In which the safety and well-\nbeing of fhe community necessitated\nsuch a strict supervision of some ind!-\nvtdiiHl's product as would only bo possible under the State's ownership of\nthe necessary agents for Its production, Tho pofslblllty of any product\nor Individual labor being so vital to\nthe life ot tbe community and fulfilling those conditions I* exceedingly remote.\nClothes, for example, are absolutely\niiecewanry to the inhabitants of theae\nlatitudes, though--\n\"Down in Dahomey's southern land,\n'Mid social functions on tbe aaua,\nA negro maid without a skirt\nthem wages. Then they sell the\nshoes to whoever wishes to buy them\nat a price greaitly^ in excess of the\ncost of the materials used and the\nwages paid to tbe workers who made\nthem. Neither the makers of the shoes\nnor the buyers of the shoes have any\ninterest In maintaining the system\nwhich exploits their labor and their\nneeds for others' profit. They might\nunite, therefore, nnd bring about the\nsocialization of the shoemaklng Industry.

French\nSocialist .Leader Killed While Discussing War Situation with Comrades in\nLittle Restaurant.\"\nThese headlines over a Paris dispatch, dated July 31, 1914, told the\nsad story. Some of the capitalist\ndaily paper did not even see fit to\npublish the important news item.\nWhen Austrian-Hungary declared\nwar on Servia the International Socialist .Bureau in Brussels immediately called a meeting of its members\nto discuss the situation. It was clear\nthat with Austria under martial law\nit would be impossible to convene the\nInternational Socialist Congress in\nVienna on the 23rd of August, which\nwas the date agreed upon for the\nopening of the International Parliament of Labor and Socialism. Jean\nJaures, as one of its leading members,\nattended this meeting of the Bureau\nin Brussels, at which the European\nwar situation was discussed and an\nagreement reached to change the\nplace and date of the Congress by\nconvening the same in Paris on the\n8th of August.\nJean Jaures had just returned from\nBrussels and prepared a great speech\non the threatening European war and\nthe attitude of the International Socialist movement. The death of Jean\nJaures means a great loss to the International Socialist and Labor movement. For the last ten or more years\nhe was the Bebel of the French So-\nciiaist movement. At the International\nSocialist Congress Jaures was one of\nthe leading spirits and his great work\nagainst militarism and for international peace caused fear and consternation among the ruling powers of\nEurope, whose might depends on\ndreadnaughts, Krupp guns and bayonets. The real greatness of Jean\nJaures was first generally recognized\nduring the exciting days of the \"Affaire Dreyfus,\" when Emile Zola was\ncompelled to flee to England after he\nhad hurled his \"J'accuse!\" at the\nGovernment. It was Jaures who then*\nstepped to the front and defied the entire military, Chauvinst, Nationalist\nand Anti-Semitic clique that was responsible for the incarceration of Cap-\n114a{n-DreyfUH-oirD*5vn*s\"Island. \"tn~the\npress and in Parliament he waged war\nfor right and justice, and after a few\nmonths he had whipped the entire conspiracy crowd to a standstill. Emile\nZola returned triumphantly to Paris,\nDreyfus was declared innocent and\npermitted to return to France.\nJaures' political development from a\ncapitalist professor and politician to\na Socialist philosopher and powerful\nleader is remarkable in many ways.

They are now coming in at the\nrate of over 1,000 a day.\nThese are figures that will be apt\nto strike most observers with something like dismay. They seeni to be\nof a magnitude calculated to overwhelm tbe operations of the law and\nexhaust the resources for compensation before the new system is a year\nold. a\nBut they are open to no such interpretation. 'Many of the accidents reported will be found to come from employments not covered by the law. A\ngreat many more will be found too\nslight to claim compensation under\nthe requirement of disability extending beyond two weeks. Only about\n35 per cent of the claims will prove\nto be valid, according to present calculations.\nWhat the figures do emphasize is\nthe great toll of life and limb exacted\nin our modern mechanical Industries.\nIt existed before this law; but we saw\nit dimly in scattered reports and suits\nfor damages. It exists now, and we\nsee it all clearly in figures which are\ncomprehensive of .the State. The cost\nwas before uncertain and unjustly\ndistributed. It is no greater now ,*but\nit has been made calculable and the\nmain burden of it shifted from the\nworkmen to the whole industrial society.\nWhether society will bear this burden patiently is a matter which is yet\nto be determined.\nWhat the laundrymen are said to be\ndoing to recover the expense \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 to\nwhich they have been put by the compensation law is what most employers will do presently. To pass a\ncharge along to the public is a sim-\n,ple matter. The worst of it is that\nthe increase in prices will be much\nlarger than the outlay which it Is designed to cover.\nThe simplest of all lessons in political economy is the one that many\npeople never learn. A small tax may\nrest lightly upon the one who pays\nit, but iby the time it reaches the consumer it is a tax of appreciable size.\nA cent'or a fraction of a cent at the\nbeginning becomes an excuse for a\nnickel or a dime later on. Everything\nof this kind is passed on, so that as\nthe complexities of government increase, tbe cost of living rises in a\n-njuch\u00E2\u0080\u0094greater-ratlor\u00E2\u0080\u0094~\nThe fact that public regulation\noften ends with the imposition of a\ntax accounts for a. good many failures of reform which are not otherwise explained.\nAlready in cases where employers\ncannot see their way clear to passing\nthe tax along they have begun to discriminate against married men. If\nsi ch discrimination is permitted there\nwill soon be a new economic problem\nin industry so serious that lt will affect the whole public welfare, '\nThere is nothing easier than to talk\nabout \"social Justice\" o.i .platforms\nthose fellows are only worth ?1.50 to\nwatch machines.\" That may be, but\nthey are rendering a social service.\nWe are calling on a larger and larger\nnumber of people to do nothing but\nwatch machines.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Dr, Scott Nearing,\nUniversity of Pennsylvania.\nSOCIALISTS\nPROTEST\nAGAINST WAR\nNational Committee of the American\nSocialist Party Issues Appeal for\nInternational Peace\nCHICAGO, Aug. 17.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Condemnation\nof the European Powers engaged in\nwar and a demand that the United\nStates act as mediator are contained\nin a proclamation issued yesterday by\nthe national committee of the Socialist Party.' The\" statement also calls\nupon foreign-born workingmen in the\nUnited States whose home Governments are at war, to hold joint meetings to \"emphasize the fraternity of\nall working people.\"\nIn the proclamation adopted the\nnational committee of the American\nSocialist Party extends fraternal\ngreetings to the working class of Europe irrespective of nationality, and\ncalls attention to' the fact that the\nworking people have no reason to\nfight each other in death dealing war\nbrought about by irresponsible, insane rulers and the capitalist classes\nwhose tools they are. Poverty, hunger, unemployment and oppression of\nthe working class in any country, are\nnot caused by the working class of another country, but by their own ruling\nclasses, the proclamation says. War\nis a -barbarian method of settling real\nor imaginary wrongs or grievances,\nand for this reason the Socialist\nParty condemns the present war as a\ncrime on the nations of Europe. The\nruling classes of Europe have shown\nby their latest action that they are ab-\nsoluetly. unfit to protect the life and\nwelfare of the nations.\ninstead of turning me over to a human\nbrute'to* be tortured and starved, take\nmy life in the easiest and quickest\nway,'and your God will reward in this\nlife and in heaven.

The\nindividual who makes remarks of'this nature is tlie\nlast person to think of \"going to the front,\" and\ninvariably has sufficient grey matter, if sparingly\nused, to cover a five cent piece.\n'Depopulating a country never solved the unemployed question, for to the mind capable of the\nmost superficial analysis it. must be immediately\napparent that this would have, the reverse effect.\nlivery country has experienced a period of depression after a war of any length. True, this applies\nmore often to the vanquished than the conquerors,\nbut both Great Britain and Japan found war unprofitable\u00E2\u0080\u0094that is the working class liave. It is\nthe interests of tlie worker we consider, not the parasite whose patriotism is so great that he will take\nadvantage of his country's misfortune to accumulate wealth. By killing a few workers you reduce\nyour market. It does not matter what the living\nconditions of these workers'\"were, they have been\nconsulting a certain amount of product and required a certain quantity of clothing, and with\ntheir death it will be necessary to find another market. If this market* i.s not found, and it must De\nadmitted by -all that this is no easy problem to\nsolve, then we still have over-production and unemployment. As a matter of fact, the statement\nthat the* killing of a few workers will solve the\nunemployed problem is. the rankest, rottenest and\nmost asanine of remarks it is possible to make.\nThe pet argument of the capitalist apologist is\nthat unemployment does not exist, and that any\nman who really desires to work can get a job. This\nis in part true, but, not only must be desire to work,\nhe must be prepared to work longer hours and for\nless pay than the other fellow. IMie is willing to\ndo litis, then he slmll always have a job. Tlie unemployed are always credited with being thriftless,\nne'er-do-wells, who would not Work if they had Ihe\nchane-e. If this is the case and the men at present\nfighting for their lives and King are by being\nkilled making room for the unemployed, then the\nsituation looks worse than hopeless. We do not\ncare to be so uncharitable as to suggest that the\nmen fighting nre the unemployed or a portion of\nthem.\n( Thextflieiticnt that war will solve the unemployed\nquestion would look like a candid admission that\num\u00C2\u00BBinployiiient is a reality and not the result of ir-\nresponsible staleiiieiils by labor leaderi* ami So-\ncialixts,\nTtroKc wim have Riven the hint ter the \u00C2\u00ABli|?htesl\nconsailei-atiaii ivali/<- that labor is a .\nmuch tlie same as other commodities.

One o'f the greatest sounjes for breeding the bacteria is the yellow journalism that flourishes so largely ia every large city or town, both\nhere and in Europe. So far the European powers\nhave succeeded admirably in maintaining the closest secrecy with regards to the movements of\ntroops. Within the last three or four days about\nas many inches of authentic news has been allowed\nto lie published, while most of the news printed has\nbeen a reiteration of official news or ''rumor and\nreport.''\nIt was the -Japanese who first, gave Europe the\nidea that if wars were to be conducted successfully,\nsecrecy was.indipensalile. It was the Oriental instinct that first conceived the necessity of .striking\nfirst and talking afterwards; they were determined\nthat war should not be conducted for the benefit of\nthe newspaper reader, who saw nothing in the -war\nbeyond a crazy desire to satisfy a ghoulish appetite for news\u00E2\u0080\u0094to know how many were killed!\nDuring the Boer war of 1899-1002 every petty\nvictory, or alleged victory, was announced by special editions of the papers, bulletin hoai'ds. music-\nhall artists, town-criers, etc.. and when m-en heard\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2this news they howled and roared on the streets\nof the big cities, smashed windows, blocked thoroughfares, slapped people, who were strangers to\nthem, on Mie back, and insisted on shaking hands\nwith them, jostled and assaulted inoffensive\nfemales, and finished by getlting crazy drunk, all\nto satiate their excited and over-wrought feelings\nat the thought of victory! This was more or less\nattributable to the manner in whioh the newspapers\nserved up the news of our glorious and brilliant (!)\nresistance of a handful of Dutch farm'ers. Every\nedition that did not contain the news of victory\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nor disaster\u00E2\u0080\u0094foretold some brilliantly conceived\nplan by the editorial strategists to defeat the Boers.\nMen thought more-of the morning course of sensation served up by the newspapers than they did of\ntheir breakfast.\nThe absence of war news, however, is calculated\nto have a soothing effect upon the present temperamental spirit of patriotism that exists in this\nand other countries. True, it may not allay the\nfeelings of those \u00E2\u0080\u00A2who have relatives and friends\nin the vanguard. The only knowledge that they\nhave of the demise of husband, brother or son is\ncontained in the stereotyped official notice to the\neffect \"yourihusban'd (or whoever the relative may\nhA* -h\"S-fs*lle.!i-iii-tho.-d\"fensc\u00E2\u0080\u0094cf\u00E2\u0080\u0094his-soiistPv*.\u00E2\u0080\u0094\t\nCOALHURST NOTES\nfin-\n' (Continued eball team.\nas something less than autoiiialoiiis to ftllUl1 \"a* been traveling the couu-\n'.\u00E2\u0096\u00A0> the pant couple of months, will\n... \u00E2\u0080\u009E.,.,* \"\"> coticliwloni! with the Taber warn\n. desire, then may we expect to find *hrm\M y.u.in-,uy.

The Tniun\nFor the past year or more Beaver\nMines notes were handled by John\nLoughran, Local secretary, but owing\nto .pressure of other business and\nworking twelve hours shifts, Sundays\nincluded, 'he has not time to do justice to the happenings of the locality\nas a scribe, and ls anxious to find a\nsubstitute. \"Old John\" will, however,\ncontinue to deal with the Local Union\nnotes until a more suitable chiel Is\nappointed (.Impossible!\u00E2\u0080\u0094Bd.)\nThe benefit dance in aid of the Hillcrest disaster relief fund was about\nthe best entertainment held in Beaver for a long time., About forty\ncouple glided gracefully around the\nLyric Wall from 9 p. m. on August\n7th until 3 next morning. The orchestra furnished some of the best music\never heard in Beaver since the orchestral concert of two years ago.\nDave Lamond, an old Beaverite,\ncame from .Bellevue to assist the orchestra with his picalo, and as a\nmusician, Dave takes a lot of beating. We might also add that Mr. Lamond came here at his ow:i ?xpei.?e\nand gave his service free. Jack Claw-\nford, who as a violinist, is out on his\nown in these parts, was at hi* bast,\nwhilst Mrs. Cameron, as pianist (and\nall the other musicians), were in such\ngood form that those who did not\ndance declared the received value for\ntheir money ln music. Tbe sale of\ntickets realized over $60, which, considering it was the first full pay\nmost of the men had had for months,\nwas not too bad, but when things get\nwell away here, no doubt another\nbenefit concert will be gotten up. The\ncash has been forwarded to A. 3, Carter, Pernie. Jack Crawford and John\nG. Prentice, fire bosses, were re-\nnection with Beaver Mines, and at\npresent is thinking of returning east.\nMr. iMorrlson, who has been here for\nnearly three years, is well respected\nand was made a J. P. about twelve\nmonths ago. We learn that a .presentation to he and Mrs. .Morrison is\nunder way, by the' members of the\nchurch with which they were hoth\nclosely identified.\nTrade ii -Still good at the mine, and\nfrom the railway cars that await reloading, the output of the mine - is\nseverely taxed.\nLocal Union Notes\nThe regular meeting of this Local\nwas convened at 3 p, m. on Sunday\nby Bro. Sam\" Nicholson, president,\nwith a fairly averaige attendance, Perhaps the resolution passed at the previous meeting, when it was agreed to\ncollect a fine of 50 cents, from all\nmembers not attending at least one\nregular meeting per month, helped, to\nfill the hall. After the minutes cf\nthe previous meeting were adopted as\nread, Bro. Tom Huges, on behalf of\ntbe auditing committee, stated that he\nand Bro. Tom Barnes audited the accounts of the Local for the six\nmonths ending June 30th, nnd after\nexamining all cheques, receipts and\nvouchers, signed the books as being\nfound correct. . .\nThe pit committee report created\na good amount of discussion, several\nbrothers declaring that tlieir places\nwere abnormal. Eventually a resolution was passed instructing the secretary to write District President\nPhillips to visit this camp at as early\na date as 'possible, in \u00E2\u0080\u009E order to\nstraighten matters out, if possible.\nBro. -Sem. Nicholson sprang a surprise on the meeting by tendering hia\nresignation as president, which, after\nseveral expressions of regret, was\naccepted. Bro. Nicholson has- beeu\n.president for about two years, and\nwas always deeply interested in the\nwelfare o'f the Local and the U. 51.\nW. of A. in general. He and his colleague, C. Banttilliers, are leaving\nthe camp for Great Palls, .Mont.,\nwhere Sam'used to reside, and where\nhis son, Frank, and other relatives are\nat present.\nA few brothers disputed the measurement of their places, as s'hown by\nthe pit boss, but on the places being\nmeasured by the pit committee, In\nthe presence of the complainants, it\nwas .found that the pit boss' statements were quite correct As impressions that measurements are not\ncorrect often occur, although a re-\nmeasurement proves that such is not\nthe case, we think it would be wise\nin future for a competent Local official to accompany the pit boss whtm\ntaking measurements and to keep a\ncopy of all contract measurements.\nGrand Union Hotel\nCOLEMAN, Alta.\nBest of Accommodation\nWe cater to the workingman's trade\nG.

While I\nwas a student at Berthier College, I\nbecame so ill I was forced to leave the\nthe college. Severe pains across the\nintestines continually tortured rue and\nit came to a point when I could not\nstoop down at all, and my Digestion\nbecame paralyzed, Some one advised\nme to take \"Fruit-a-tives\" and at once-\nI felt a great improvement. After I\nhad taken four or five boxes, I realized\nthat I was completely cured and what\nmade me glad, also, was that they\nwere acting gently, causing no pain\nwhatever to the bowels. All those who\nsuffer with Chronic Constipation\nshould follow my example and take\n\"Fruit-a-tives\" for they are tbe\nmedicine that cures\".\nMAGLOIRE PAQUIN\n\"Fruit-a-tives\" are sold hy all dealers\nat 50c. a box, 6 for $2.50, trial size,\n25c. or sent postpaid on receipt of price\nby Fruit-a-tives Limited, Ottawa.\nTHINKING THEMES\nto set this trap.\nIt will be perfectly safe for the administration to legislate against stock\ngambling and the crimes of the past,\nso long as lt lends Itself to bank control of the nation by authorizing asset\ncurrency and clearing house certificates.

We aro\nso dazzled by ideals that we can not\nsee that the supreme privilege of freedom is freedom to do wrong. Take\nthat away, and a man becomes non-\nmoral. Virtue ls of account only in\none who might have chosen vice.\n. We learn more by our mistakes than\nby. any other means. Let a man\nways succeed and he will remain a\nchild, ignorant, egotistic, unsympathetic and cruel. It is because the\nking can do no wrong that the king is\nusually a poor, little soul.\nof silly and senseless things. Only\nwhen I am at perfect liberty to scar,\nscratch, smash and ruin my life, only\nthen am I capable of triumph, power\nand goodness.\nIt is important to be trained \"in\nmorality; it is still more important to\n{be trained in liberty .--Dr. Crane.\nSHOEING GEESE\nThe frozen roads of Illinois are\nvery hard on the fowls which are being raised in that part of the country\nfor shipment to New York for celebrating the great Jewish feasts and\nholidays.\nFormerly the geese and ducks suffered from sore and tender feet.

When the miners in his employ\nstruck he promptly did what the oper-\ntors in West Virginia and Michigan\ndid, and what the operators in Colorado are now doing, namely, he\nordered out \"his privately-owned and\narmed gunmen and assassins, a small\narmy, equipped with high power rifles,\nto slaughter the miuers and their\nwives and babes and re-enact Ludlow.\n'But the miners had heard of .West\nVirginia and Michigan and 'Colorado,\nand they were not caught napping.\nThey were not so well armed as\nBache's red-light gunmen, but what\nthey lacked ln physical equipment was\nmore than made up in moral stamina,\nand when the smoke of battle cleared\naway several gunmen were found to\nhave bitten the dust and.the rest vanished into mist and no trace of them\nhas 'been found since..\nBravo, ye caol-digging slaves of tbe\npits! You have done your duty in a\nheroic manner and deserve the applause of all honest men. May the\nminers everywhere catch your .brave\nspirit and follow your inspiring example!\nGovernment by private gunmen and\nthe massacre of honest toilers must\n7\n)\u00C2\u00BB:.*\n.'.71\nDft\u00C2\u00BB\ntm\nI3S3\nm\nHeme tee. mi P.
