Since the Inception of this strike our local newspapers, viz.: The News-Advertiser, Province, and World, have, in the opinion of the general public, iprostltuted their columns by disseminating- news that as at variance with fact. This is a. strong statement, *ut not slionger than the circumstances demand. So far as the success of our own cause Is conern ed we .haiv\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD no reason to feel alarmed at the tactics adopted in the present struggle by our opponents, but we deplore that a .strong conporatlon like the C.

As one who is practically acquainted \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwith the nature of the work performed by trackmen and brldgemen must say tihat the average . pay Is Inadequate and\" Insuffc'ent-to cover our dally'ex' penses in many cases, .oven if the most utringent economy Is practised. The delicacies and comforts and luxuries enjoyed by the other ordinary mortals are utterly beyond our reach, and \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwe are told in grim sarcasm to be content with our lot. It is not the lot of human nature to be content.

The strongest argument advanced by opponents and wihat tfo'ey harp on incessantly is this: \"The 'trackmen on the C. P.

That Is a simple assertion \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwithout authentic figures to back it up! But even If that were the case lt Is no reason why the employees of the C. P.

Labor Day Is drawing night, and the organized workers all over the land nre preparing for Its celebration, and right here Is where we want to say a word. It Is about the same old programme that has been mapped out ever since the day was organized. Now, to iinake a thing interesting it must be original, so let us study up some new scheme for this year, lt is the first Labor Day of the new century; let* us make it one to be reinem- 'bered. \"Now, in regard to speakers,\" says the Amalgamated Journal, \"In the past we have been 100 prone to have the chief addresses made by some politician or lawyer. That i.s where we say labor is wrong. The day is &et apart for us, and the principal address should be made by a man from the ranks. It is all right to have those outside our ranks give us a talk 'to show their friendliness, but in many cases it is nothing more than a 'jolly.' We have the brains in our ranks, so let us use them.\" Then there is a class of men among trade unionists who never take part In the celebration, and others who work on that day if their unions will permit itliem. It is just such men as these that help to ikeep down unionism. An employer will make fun of Labor Day or ask Itliem to work, and It he gets them to accede to his demand in this in a short time he will -ask for some other small concession. It is always best when you have gained a point to ikeep it until you can better yourself. Then the moral effect of Labor day on the unorganized is worthy of our attention. If we turn out in par- .\.io and make a strong appearance It goes a long way'in inducing those outside our ranks to join, but on the other hand, if we have a small crowd, they, with their employers, will say, \"Why, they have only a handful. What can they do for themselves let alone you?\" A large celebration has a. sa- 'lutory effect on unscrupulous employers also. When .thoy see a parade of thousands of organized workmen they will hesitate before beginning a battle, while if we are weak, it te just 'the reverse. It is our chief aim to show the world our strength on Labor Day, so 'let every trade unionist lay down his tools on that day and talke part in the celebration. PIIASKU HIVKH FISHERMEN Tlle fishermen declared a strike last Saturday night. Everything Is ciulet on the river, there nol belm; a white ur Indian llsheiman out. The Japs arc still with the union men and from nil accounts are likely to remain firm. The cniinerymen's offer now Is: For a total pack up to lO'l.OOO eases, the price per tU\"h to be IS cents; up to G'W.OOO cases. 12 1-2 cents;,600,000 cases, 11 \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDcuts; 700,000 cases, \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD cents; SOO.000 cases or over, S cents. This latest proposed 'schedule for flsh ns published in the News-Advertiser is not as good as the previous one. Fo,- this reason: that In case the expected pack, which is placed at not less than n million cases by the cannerymen themselves, is realized, only S cents a flsh will be paid, as against 10 and 12 1-2 ns per the former offer. The offers of the fishermen, through Mr. Bremner, have been practically turned down by the cannerymen. Notwithstanding the fact that they contained very liberal and reasonable provisions. The apathy with which the committee of the canners deals' witli the whole question leaves the Strom; impression that they are more interested in prolonging the dispute than arriving at a speedy settlement. The iflshei men mean business, and if justice cannot be obtained by conciliatory methods It only .remains for them to take such steps as will best protect their Interests by legislation or otherwise. The cannerymen are playing a dangerous game, and if trouble of a more serious character arises the whole blame will attach to them. We would suggest that a different committee from the canners take the matter up, the one .now having negotiations in charge 'having proved to be most bull- headed and incompetent for such, nn important .commission. Further, Mr. .Bremner, who Is trying to bring about a settlement, has been most ointloing in his work, and if the cannerymen were half as willing to settle the trouble it would have been a thing of the past ere this. It is not too .muoh to say that both the more reasonable cannerymen and fisherman have entire faith in his unbiased me diation. ihe Newest Assortment in Wash Dress Fabrics are here in great array. And It Is a grand sight, for gathered here are the best and most stylish products of the luoms or England, Scotland, France and Switzerland.

The demands of fashion have been carefully met, and our showing is well worthy of your attention. Quality, of course, is the most im- portant point, and lt has received our careful consideration.

The canneries, with three or four exceptions, are miserably managed by men who do not know the A. B. C. of the 'business, who promise directly and indirectly every year that they will have matters put right, but who have neither 'the 'intention nor the ability of carrying out anything at all.

The men individually know that they must stand together, and it behooves organized labor in general to make the fight of the unfortunate workers Its battle also.

P. li.. who were responsible for the trouble, compelled to exist on the paltry wages offered the section men they would be the most noisy and far worse lawbreakers than tliu men who are now on strike. The strikers have the sympathy of the masses from one end of Canada to the other, and the great corporation 'knows that this right is not one alone affecting the poorly paid men, but affects the business community as well. The time has come when the latter mus tjoln forces with the workingmen, ns the lines between combined capital and organized labor are now being drawn light. The wages paid '.were reduced to the lowest possible notch nnd the big corporations are now hot foot after the merchants, whose bed .already is not one of roses.

THE TRACKMEN WIMING. (Continued from 1'nge One.) clothes nnd do all his work after a ten hour dny, and ha is paid S1.-10 per day. Now. re the wage scale: Trackmen west of Fort William were paid $1.25 _Ii er day on main line through to Vancouver, except, AVinnipeg yard $1.40. On the C. P. R. railway from Dunmore to Cranbrook, $1.25; Cranbiook to Sirdar, $1.40; Kootenay blanches, $1.40; Robson to Midway $1.30; foremen $55 per month; medical fees $1.00; house rent, where paid, $5 per month, making .his actual wage $49. Now I will give 'you an insight into our grievances. A .foreman might work overtime at slides or washouts to the\"extent of five or six days in a month but he would not receive* any pay fo'r it. Since our committee, interviewed the management, .overtime has been granted, dating \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD from May 1st, 1901. I know a man who worked on a section at Siocan City for - three weeks in April, and then drew his time cheque, paid his board, and had . $1.20 left. A section hand cannot board , nt a bdarding house or hotel. If he is single he usually batches in some shack Right in Nelson there are cabins 10x12 feet\", with eight, and in some cases, ten men lit. ing in them. A few miles east . of Michel I saw a watchman living In a cabin SxS feet. He had to cook, eat and sleep in that space. Our grievances aie reul, not fancied. The schedule pres- , ented by oiir committee, although asking for an increase in1 the highest item . of Ilfty cents per day, still leaves our wages below the wage paid to any class of labor throughout any locality troiverse'd by tho C. P. Railway. T. G. M'MAXAMON, ' Organizer B. of R. T. of A. Nelson!. 13. C, July Ist.'lOOl. (Statndlng firm.' Writing from Canmore, under date , of July 1st, a correspondent says: \"We are still standing firmly together, and the track cast of here is almost impassable now. For three daye neither No. 1 nor No. J could get through, and had \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDto-turrt^btfckf-Tiicy \"lwtve-got about* twenty scabs working on this division at Cochrane at some mud slides. They weie paying $10 a day, and board but cotil gel only twenty men at that price. S'liere was 'a wreck 10 miles cast of here 'lust week, an engine and four cars going to the bottom of a 90-foot filled in bridge. The track slid off the dump undei the engine. No one was hurt. There lire nbotit 200 Gallcians in Cnl- fV.ny nnd llie ofllclals cannot get them ti) work for $10 n day, ailthough they have no money at nil.

Tiie way ihey are sticking to us Is a great surprise to everyone especially to tlie company who weie depending on them If the strike should come off. The Calgary & Edmonton Hallway has been tied up for more than a week; cannot move a train on It. Theie Is a passenger train stuck about 50 miles north of Calgary and cannot got either way on account of bad track.\" Deadlock at Schrieber. The Galieian has been a great disappointment to the company's officials during, this strike. Instead of being available to' go anywhere he refuses to budge, and where gangs Tvere al-[ ready \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDworking they \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDuit as soon as news of the strike reached them. The Doufchobors are much more easily handled, hut the supply.'is a little short. There' is a curious deadlock down at Schrieber. Some time ago ififteen Gallcians were sent from Winnipeg in a boaiding car to do work at that point. On the 17th inst. they .piomptly struck. iTlhe company 'did not pay them off, neither would it haul them back to the city. .So since that date they have bcenhoardlng at t'he car, although there is a difference of opinion as to who is bearing the expense. The gang have threatened to captuie a train and proceed to Winnipeg if the company will not haul them back in the car. In that case they will probably be arrested as des- ipjsradoes, whereas they are so far only unwilling guests of the C. P. R. at $3.30 per week. , They Can't Get Men. ' .The Inland Sentlnal, of Kamloops, prints the following: Without entering into the merits of the case against the special constables arrested near Ashcroft last week charged with intimidating workmen, the fact that the company's officials are compelled to have recourse to .such extreme measures iri order to have necessary work done on the track Is scarcely'in accord with their oft reiterated declaration lhat they have no difficulty in obtaining men to fill the strikers' places. Even $10 a day and board failed to tempt more than a mere handful of men to go to work upon a mudslide cast of this point. The truth ot the matter is they find it almost Impossible to get anyone to accept work at any price. The reason is not hard to find and lies m the fact that the general public, rec-. ognizlng the justice of the claims of the striking trackmen for a living wage, are in hearty sympathy with the movement. In adltion to this.tlie men upon whose offices the company relied as a reserve force upon which they could fall back and xise as a lever to compel the strikeis to submit, know full well that they would not be advancing their own interests by taking up the work, -.\".nd-t'hey-object-to-belng-niade the tools of tlie company, only to be cast aside when the struggle I.s ended. Meanwhile the'stnkers stand ilrm, and the condition of the\" track-Is daily becoming eventually to satisfactory settle- more deplorable, and travelling more hazardous, facts that cannot but be potent factors in bringing the company to a sense of their responsibilities, leatl- inir eventually to satisfactory settlement ot dispute. It la expected that the next news i(- \"gardlng the effeats of tlie strike will be that the .gauge of the track will be on tho\" Increase, I. c., the rails will spread. Once a new section foreman wrote: \"Dear Mr. Itoadniaster, .please send in. another gauge. The one I hnve is getting too small for the track.\" Field, July 1st. Ninety Cents a Day. (Written for tlie Brotherhood of Railway Truckmen.) It is true that in Eastern Ontario and Quebec, the trackmen on the C. P. R. are paid ninety cunts a day. Upon the writer mentioning this fact to sonic friends the,, other day, one exclaimed \" Is it possible that men live on such a wage?\" Swift as liplitning came the answer from a C. P. It. employee who was present, \"Xo! they die on it.\" This incident, coupled with the news that a 0. P. R. detective and teveriil constables have been arrested for endeavoring to drive strikers to work at thu point of a revolver, mggested the following lines: They were born beneath the British flag, The good old flag thut rules the it lives, They ttero taught in earliest childhoods hour That Britons never will be Mavcs. And jot they blavc from curly morn Till late nt night for scanty pay, They're free-born Britons uud they live And die un ninety cents u day.

Thos. I. Kidd, of Chicago, is on his way to England to enlist the sympathy of tlie English unionists in the trouhles of Canadian and American woodworkers. An effort will be made to get tlie unions in England to refuse to handle any material that is not made by union labor. Tlie strikers have decided to make a public appeal for funds to help them to stand out till they win. The Plumbers Union havo decided to take active steps to help the striking carpenters, and it is probable that the plumbers will refuse to do any work on buildings where non-union workers arc employed. A deputation of the Draymen's union at Winnipeg has been appointed to meet the board of works for an advance in the wages of the draymen employed on civic works. The men now get 40 cents per hour, and an increase of 10 cents an hour will be asked for. The city draymen work nine hours a day and contend that tlieir wages are too low for them to realize anything, owing to the cost of feed and other necessary daily expenses. If the men are not granted the increase, the cityjdraymen working on the day labor system are likely to be backed by the union in the case of a lockout. The Btrike of miners at theMosanaqua Colliery of the West End Coal Company at Wilkcsbarra, I'a., has been settled, and the six hundred employes have returned to work. The men struck because non-union miners had been employed. The non-union men joined the union. Business at Montreal Is brisA. Carpenters are busy at Halifax. S.

China Hall, 319 Hisnirag Btrbet. THE OLD COUNTRY. A correspondent of a London newspaper writing from Odessa says the continued unrest among the industrial classes in Russia is causing the liveliest concern among the military and civil authorities, both central and provincial. This has been Increased by the recent discovery of thp movement for a general trade union of all the workmen Ik the Iron and steel factories. He says that the igtovermnent is gradually awakening to a realization of the fact that the time Is approach- ing_rapIdly_when-it_wilLnoJonger_be safe to take the side of the employers agalnts ttie employed as a matter of course. He quotes a significant remark made In his presence a short time ago by an experienced inspector of Rusian factories. He said: \"If Russia were to find herself at war to-morrow with a great power, she might possibly be able to wage lt without any obstructive drawbaok In the shape of Internal troubles1 land complications, but if we should be launched Into a great struggle ut the end, say of tlie next quinquennium, and things should drag ailone in the meantime In their present precarious und treacherous groove, then we should require a strong garrison in every Industrial centre In the empire. XVe should want two or three hundred thousand troops In Finland, nnd half a million In Poland, to say nothing of the requirement of the Caucasus.
