The Nakusp Ledge was published in Nakusp, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, from October 1893 to December 1894. 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. After moving to Fernie, the paper continued to be published under variant titles, including the Fernie Ledger and the District Ledger, from August 1905 to August 1919.

Ir V- • Tho. new apparatus for tho rescue station at Hosmer having arriv.ed, we were, thanks to" the courtesy of the govornment mine inspector, Mr. Robert* Strachan,, Invited to make-an examination of same, and also to witness a "demonstration of its particular uses. We accepted the invitation, and on Wednesday afternoon journeyed to Hosmer n company with Drs. Bonnell and,Corsan, Secretaries A. J. Carter and D. Rees, Mr. James Ashworth, and Mr. J. E. Smith of Coal Creek. , .Upon arriving at our destination wo made the acquaintance of Mr. F. F. Morris, the manager of the Draeger Oxygen Apparatus company, the manufacturers of the plant, who offlcia- , ted in the capacity of demonstrator; and as we' deem the Information ob- ... tained to be of particular interest to mine, workers, we give a short description of the designs of the various portions of the device, and of their application. ° y y~" ■ In brief, the outfit consist-of four" sets of Draeger Two-Hour and two "sets of Half-Hour apparatus, and a pulmotor., '■■"■ The two-hour _ apparatus comprises helmet, breathing "bag, "and- regen- r'*er^torT,"TKe~latter—^il~cafrfe_~oir~the^ back \ of the wearer, and ,is soar-: ranged' that the "weight is * evenly distributed. *' Its principal, features are an oxygen cylinder, circulating tubes ■ (2),.potash cylinder,and cooler. The helmet encases -,'the frontal portion-.of the head of the -wearer, - the admfs- ,- sion of external air being completely excluded by moans of the.close-fitting pneumatic cushions with which it is •-■ fitted. -There aro two- pipes leading from. the helraot to the regenerator, through which circulation is effected. The modus .ppperandl is as follows: A cylinder stored with compressed oxygen sets up circulation throughout ' tho wholo, apparatus, breathing being ' effected through, tho medium of a respiration bag, which hangs in front of the wearer.and forms, in.conjunc- tion with tho potash cylinder, an artificial lung, save that tho air ia breathed over and over • again. Tho exhaled or residual air. is drawn ■ through one of tho pipes' previously alluded to, nnd passing through a cartridge containing a lnrgo -number .. of grnmilos of potassium hydroxide, ^7Is frood, from nil impurities nnd Is V^onco moro In a stnto of what may ho jftermed "atmospheric purity." loss, of fteconrso, a largo portion of tho oxygon vljwhich has bpbn extractod In Its pas- 'V: the privilege of-putting the various devices to a practical test,' and experienced sensations peculiar, to" those who for the first time have been encased in so abnormal a headgear. It is.our devout wish that the time may be long ere this apparatus is' required for more • practical purposes, yet we feel that a long felt want of inestimable value has heen supplied in a district where mining disasters have unhappily been all too frequent. It is the intention of the government to have the whole equipment converted into a portable' rescue sta- tlon for rapid transportation to the adjacent mines, arid although the car for (his purpose has riot yet been Installed, it Is, satisfactory to know that the apparatus is complete iri all other respects', and ready for work should the occasion arise. Wo understand that it is possible to equip this rescue apparatus with a device for telephonic communication, and if,wo may be permitted,to offer criticisms, or' suggestions,-wo would strongly advocate tho adoption of this Invaluable adjunct. It would also appear to us that reductlori of weight Is a desideratum that could he , accomplished' without decrease of efficiency, and whilst realizing that the parts must necessarily be so constructed that they will resist outward as well, as inward pressure, we think that the necessary strength, in the oxygen cylinder could be obtained by the use of a composition such a alluminized steel, which, while possessing the resilience of the .latter, has seven times its ductility, thus combining the maximum strength with the minimum weight.

THE 24-HOUR SYSTEM , „ON THE C. P. R. * Some years'ago owing to the storm conditions trains were running very irregularly on the main, line _of the C. P. R. and two stockmen who, while waiting for a belated passenger train, had imbibed somewhat too freely, approached the bulletin board ,to ascertain the latest regarding ■ the arrival of "No. 1 arid one of them after reading that."No. 1-will arrive at 26:20," turned to his companion and said: "26:20, what the deuce time is that?" To which the ready reply was made, "20 minutes past 2 tomorrow morning,- OH! YOU CABINET MINISTER ~you7 chTimp.""^ ThiiT" reply created amusement -and .. wonderment among the bystanders and examination being made of the bulletin board it. was discovered that it. really should* have read. 20.20, but the. upper portion of the* first cipher having been blurred In .the dim light it was not to .bo- wondered at that the mistake had been.inade'by .the stockman and read 26:20. ■ A C.

Tho "principal business transacted was the consideration of the claims made by various citizens that they had paid their taxes and had not received credit therefor. Considerable discussion, arose, several of the taxpayers interested being on hand to present their . views on the subject. The purpose of the , discussion ' was that of enabling the council to arrive at the amount of the claim to be demanded from the security company under which the late city clerk was bonded. Those ratepayers upon whom demand has been made for the payment of taxes for which they hold receipt will of course be exonerated ■ therefrom and the several amounts charged to. the shotrage, but those "unable to substantiate their statement that payment has' been made may be called upon to do so.

The part of the hysterical and whimsical mother with her regard for details regardless of essentials left nothing to be-desired, and although it was not so mueh what she said but the inimitable way in which it was uttered that pleased the spectators. The drunken sheriff overdid his part and while his antics may have amused a. few in the gallery, yet it was marred by too much exuberance. To simulate drunkenness is indeed difficult, but under the circumstances of an interview with a governor even a Nevada sheriff with all the bolster- ousness of a westerner would have delineated tho character somewhat differently thereby makiug it moro natural * by * frantic efforts to appear more sober than he really was and in so doing created a belter effect upon tho audience. ' In his capacity of- privato secretary to the governor a little moro control over the facial expressions at tho critical momont would have materially improved, tho part.

LONDON,.Nov. 5.—During the past week two great bodies of organized workers, the Miners' Federation of Great Britain and the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants, held their annual congres.;, the former at Edinburgh, the,latter at Barry, noar Cardiff, iii South Wales. ' " Railway Men' More Lively. ' T) e railway men's congress was undoubtedly the- livelier nnd more instructive of (he iw.o. Theirs has been a strange fate in the past. Though originators of tho famous resolution of the trade union congress of ISM, which established the labor party, their leader, Richard Bell, was the first to revolt against tho new niovement unci to leave lt.for the sake of ,the Liberal party, for which 'act of "courage." "he ,has now been re- "warded by a comfortable berth in thp board of trade. ,. Similarly, though holding in their hand the most vital artery of capitalist'; society, thc railway mon stil.1 belong lo' Ihe worst paid and the "most ruthlessly exploited category of labor fully 20 per cent, of them (over 00,000), according to official statistics,' working over 12 hours a day ancl earning less than ?"> a week. Big Revolt. Three years ago they broke out in a big revolt and threatened a general strike, but the niovement was smothered under tho weight of a national scheme of conciliation and arbitration, imposed upon them by Lloyd-George," then the president of the'board of ♦ ♦♦«►♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ 0 (Crowded out last week.) The members of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows of Coleman No 3G, arid Pincher No. 5, assisted by Grand Master Shear of Fort, Sask., P." G. Tulley of Calgary, and Deputy Grand T.- Haines, of this town, instituted a new lodge of the order at llla'irmore. The exemplification.of the work upon a very large school of candidates , was remarkably well exemplified and the degree teams came in for* a large share of well merited praise. ' The baby lodge of. Alberta starts out. under very favorabl.circumstances, and is particularly fortunate in the excellency of the caliber of those occupying the various , chairs. The following or the officers: Rev. ,T. F. Hunter,'N. G.; George Young, V. G.; J. D. S. Barrett, 11. S.; J. W. McKay, F_ S.; A. T. lleney, Warden; .). G. Smith, Conductor; E. A. Elliott, Treasurer; J. James, Chaplain. Tho grand master, in making his speech, congratulated all tlioso who participated in the ceremony, and expressed the desire that., tho new lodge might flourish. Monday last tho Coleman lodge of Odd Fellows had a social evening on the occasion of'the visit from the grand master and past grand master.0 These two officials delivered speeches relative to the growth of Odd Follow-* ship throughout Canada. There were several others whose names we do not recall, who also made short addresses, but we may say without flattery that the speech of the evening was that of our N. G„ who certainly surpassed himself in the excellent manner in which he acquitted himself in the arduous task of addressing the gathering on subjects of interest to all tbat were assembled. ,- , Sister C. Dunlop, G. W., of the Rebekah lodge', when called upon, stated that she was but a poor speech- maker, and although she is a lady we feel somewhat inclined to dispute her statement; and think that those who were there will agree with us that she is just as capable as any, of the sterner sex. The whist drive and dance was a doubly successful event and the Coleman band are the recipients of hearty congratulation * from nil participants. The winners ,'of the whist drive trade. . • ■ - | prizes fell tor First Prize, (ladies) Thc A.S. R. S.'is the largest audi Mrs. Madaison, silver-mounted toilet most, influential of all the railway men's associations,, aud the spirit which" it has exhibited, on the present occasion of its congress is certainly very hopeful. On the first business day of the congress a resolution was carried without dissent, demanding stato own- —er-ship_oL__il__$s. - . sot; First Prize (gents), Mr. W. Pearson, marbellzGd clock. The record-breakers on the low side were (ladies), Mrs. H. Clarke, handkerchief, and .(gents), Mr. Goodeve who was the recipient of a box of children's building blocks'. - ... The attendance was exceptionally largo which speaks" volumes for* the not forgotten. "Accidents of this nature are, frequent on the tipple. This makes two within a week and the men weighing coal are in great danger of "losing-their lives with, trips coming out-at such a speed. We hope that this wlH be remedied in a short while and that the scales will be moved near the mouth of the tunnel. . '' ' The Neiy Michel Young' Men's club "gave a-dance on Tuesday last in" Martin's hall which, turned out to be a great success and .dancing was kept up until the wee sma hours of the morning. ,-The New Michel, orchestra supplied the'music to the sat-, isfaction of everybody. -Alee Derbyshire ' and Robert Parks most ably acted as floor <- managers. George Fisher, who so kindly lent, his teams, was kept busy bringing, and taking back the large crowd that attended from Old Michel. Everyone enjoyed themselves and look forward to more social occasions like this. * The children of Mrs. Horatio Nelson have been sent to the Children's Aid Society Home at Vancouver, where they will receive proper attention which the mother could not give. them. - o . The stork has been hovering over Michel and,as a result Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Mason have a fino daughter. Andy Waugh, late president, of the Corbin local, U. M. W. of A., is in town, where he intends taking up his abode for a whilo. The coal company at Corbin are laying a large number, of men off on account of having no ordors for their coal. The officers of the "Michel Prize band intend holding a competition for the following on the 21st of November: Melodian contest, skipping rope contest for girls under 16 and a sentimental duct."contest. .This"promises to be one of those.rare and enjoyable times and a large number of entires are expected. Admission 50 ceiits.. - , * , "The football league medals are on exhibition at the Trites-Wood store. Anyone wishing to see same can now do so, . The football league meeting was held at Coleman on the 22nd, when the following delegates were present: Michel, James Sharp, (Chairman), and Sam Moors; Robert Levitt, secretary of the league, Bellevue; J. Oliphant, Coleman; J. Graham.- The following business .was transacted: That the .minutes of the last meet-' ing be adopted as read. That three clubs form a quorum. That the league game between Bellevue and Coleman that was stopped owing to ""darkness'be called a draw. The teams have agreed to this, . That Rougheads case bo dropped, as the wrong man had been reported. TELEGRAPHERS LOSE JOBS FOR GIVING EVIDENCE Say Large Quantity of Gas Was Present in Los Angeles Times. Office. ". ,,.

These witnesses, who were telegraph operators in the building, "testified that they liad lost their positions with the Western "Union Telegraph company because of having made tlieir statements'. Railroad Trust. At present the railways of the ■United Kingdom have become practically one huge trust, ancl apart from its effect on tho community, tho fact is having a most, disastrous effect, on the railway servants. The matter was well put by J. TI. Thomas, M. P.. in a lengthy speech. "There was not," ho remarked, "a* single company in tho kingdom but had a private working agreement, with others, and the men wero now left to choose between a" largo monopoly, run solely for profit, and stale ownership for the community's benefll. "If during tho next six months 500 men wore discharged, on nny sorvlco there would be such a hue and ery thnl tho compnny concerned would b'e brought to its knees. But the companies wero too clever, Rather than effect n wholesale dismissal ihey Introduced n stringent medical test, and by tills subterfuge, woro ablo to ills- peso of the mon they did not want."

PAGE THREE _ * ;• -? - The Solution of the Labor Problem \) By .Louis Alster. 77 * While defenders of' the present social system have been denying' tbo ' existence, of economic classes in - America,'-there are those who- are gradually a"\yakening to this fact, that .." not only are there' classes in America, - but that.tht- strife • between , them-is growing more, intense daily. - , ; 7"Clifford 'Howard,, in the" North American Reviow for September, diag- ..'npses the. nature of the struggle be- - tween" capital' and labor as a "cankerous, thorn' in . the flesh." Something riiiist be done to save the dying patient, i. e.;• capitalism, and as a rem- * edy he,revives the post-humous theory ■ of William Howard, originated 15 years ago. It is a scheme to annihilate tlie class struggle at the time of its 1 origin. It met.with little favor owing - to tho prematurity of economic "conditions. * „ '. ' Tlie remedy proposes the establishment of a national unit of value by the, federal govornment, justri.as it ■regulates the unit for money, weight', measure, and time, and so shall the '.government regulate, a unit of value foi" labor of all classes. . Neither employe nor em'pldyer will have a voice, in the determination of tho value of this unit. The unit of . value shall be based and .measured by tho commodity wheat. This commodity has always been the keynote of;.all other commodities. If a day's unskilled labor be equal, to, 60 pounds of" flour as the unit, and tlie. price of •- flour is two cents a pound, the wages 7 of an* unskilled laborer will be $1.20. ... If-matters not-.if the price of flour . goes up or'down, the wages are tb be*equal to the.unit of value. If the price of wheat is three cents a pound, then the wages will be $1.80 per clay. This, briefly,'' is the substance of the scheme to save capitalism. Clifford Howard is evidently -lab'or- ,.-ing under an illusion in believing that."- . the working class in America" can be won over by the assurance that their - -v-ages will not drop. He ' fails, to understand the'evolution of tho men-, tal'altitude of tlie working cla*ss. He - might learn a great deal if he were ** to' study the development of the So- ■.*' cialist'- movement in. Europe in? general and Germany ia'particular. ,. . In Germany (he. working class has * -been -improving its economic condi- power is in their .'favor. Washington is. but the reflex of Wall street and it-matters-little to the working class whether it is Wall street or Washington that rules them so long as the capitalist class rules. As for the.Democratic party, it is but an outworn instrument of a dead class, that is, the "middle class. * The ' struggle -between" capital hid labor will continue until the basis of this struggle shall .be .abolished, namely, ' the " private ownership of natural resources and the means of., production. ■ *-. ;•.;-■ Thero can be "no peace between capital and labor until capitalism, "which Is the real barrier to peace, shall be abolished. It, is the mission of the working class, through its economic and political organization,' to abolish class rule through the 'estab-' lishment of;the social ownership of lhe means of production. This will be the beginning of real democracy. BURDENS BORN BY LABOR. ■.- From hundreds- the toll has gone to thousands and from* thousands to" ten thousands and from' . ten thousands to hundreds of thousands and from . hundreds of thousands to" millions . of hard-earned dollars. Arid-who pays the toll? "Who bears the burden of the land? Can idleness' pay toll?. Can useless labor pay toll? - Do capitalists pay. toll? Whence comes the millions collected by the lord of the land" Who is the bearer of this ever-growing burden? - „ Well—ir. is aa old story. John Gray, who - lived many years ago, told- the story and many others ."have told.it again and again and perhaps better. But Gray's words will-, serve our-purpose. ' . . "We have* endeavored to show,"' said Gray in 1S31, "that the real in-' come of the. country, which consists, in tlie quantity of wealth annually created -by the labor of the " people, is takon ■from its producers chiefly by the rent of land, by the rent of houses, by the interest1 ori money and by the profit of persons who buy their labor- from them at one price and sell it at- another." * The' burden of land is the .debt— the debt humanity .owes to those who own the. land, and as an old Greek once said—debt make free nic:i slaves. ' ' ■ ' UNION LABOR MEETS WITH LEGAL DEFEAT Judge Richardson Decrees That Favor- . ing Union Makes Municipal Contract Void. By Robert Hunter. If thoro is any strange thing on this earth it is the burden of'lho land. The land" is said .to bo a gift of God to his children. , Like* the air, the water and the sun, land, it is said, was intended for the good of man. . ' ' ' Like the woods, the coal mines, the ore mines and. the oil wells, land, it is said, was given its a precious gift to man. *■ , "" '.Why, therefore, has land become a burden, a crushing burden on the back of Labor? ", Ireland is a nation that has been ruined again and again by the burden of the land. .-,;.- - At the door of the. land there stood a man collecting toll and no.matter how the Irish labored the.only one enriched was lie who, collected toll. 7 When the land Improved the toll huTC-fit-eci, ..'When' the worker ouilt better houses' and . better barns the toll increased. ' When the worker improved his crops his stock, his fences and his roads the toll'increased. " - And tlio land bf Ireland * became a burden'to Ireland and the man who collected, toll became the curse of Ireland. . - *".- Even in-the clay of famine tho man was there insisting on his toll, ancl at last the Irish ran away from the burden of tlie land in Ireland. ..-Thoy fled from famine and.misery HYPOCHLORITE . TREATMENT, OF-WATER AT CHICAGO I) The attention- of tho public, as ..well as health and municipal authorities, has,been directed,during the past few months to the purification,',of water by means of the addition of small, very small quantities of hypochlorite of' °calcium, otherwise known as chloride of lime. We have been led to believe the process is a very simple one; indeed so simply that a child might almost direct the treatment.. It is-.true-that in .case.of emergency, municipal and health authorities may, under' the direction of a sanitary engineer, improvise the means for the application of the hypochlorite and thus prevent outbreaks , of, typhoid fever when the water is sewage polluted; but for the proper and scientific installation, as, well as for the oversight aiid management, , expert services .. give the best results, and where a municipality will pay for the* services of an expert,, thc expenditure is more than compensated for by the results obtained. These facts are ' clearly shown by the work and' operation of what...is known as the Bubbly Creek Water Purification Plant-of the Union Slock Yard and' *!'ransit Go. at Chicago, which has been in operation for nearly two years. The following .information', descrip- iion"s7"tiy^oTCTi_^^treifT!owc!essvo"ns~TiS" employes' liability, workingmen's insurance, oldage pensions, all government measures, and, as a result, this has increased their trades union membership ancl the ., Social-Democratic votes and also • their revolutionary spirit. '* , -7 As economic conditions develop, so does the desire for' a" larger .'share ■of its product develop in tho working class. Along with the development of capitalist production develops the consciousness of' the workingmen' to its class interest*. Labor comes to realizo tliat ho is lho solo producer of,all woalth and that ho will nover bo satisfied until he receives his full product. U* The* . illusion of tho proposed | - scheme might bo unfolded from another angle. According to jUr, Howard lho government is something sopnrnto and apart from any-economic cliiss. Tho falsity of this position Is. palpable whon ono examines tho naturo of political parties and tho administration of the pnrty In powor. It Ih unnecos- sn.*y lo pciiotnilo into tlio history of i.

All tho loglRlnllvu nnd administrative BOSTON, Nov. 1.—.Union labor met another defeat yesterday when Judge Richardson, in the. Superior court, decreed . that " ihuriicipal corporations must not' favor organized bodies of union men.' The "case in question was one in which the" city of Boston let a contract to the-*Dolan Electrical Company to furnish, electrical appliances for Curtis hall, .in Jamaica Plain. The Dolan company's bid was $4,-i_7, or $2 higher- than that of the Jamos Wilkinson company, which brought a suit, through 12 taxpayers, to have the city restrained from giving the contract lo Dolan, Wilkinson alleged that he was refused tho contract on the ground that" he was unfair to union labor. Discourses on Union Labor. In allowing the - Injunction Judge Richardson spoko at some length upon the question of unions and said: .'Superintendent of Buildings Fish had a right ,to put in his contract clauses relating to the quality of w,ork tohe done, but the language of the' document is very unfortunate—il isn't a test.' ' If there was a condition in this contract which required, tlie contractor to favor, any class of men, any corporation, any organized society, party, church oi- social organization, or show any favoritism, or partiality, there isn't a person in this room who wouldn't say it is illegal. I think, it wrong tliat Wilkinson did not get this .contract, because he did not employ union men, or,in some way or other was unfair to union labor. -- Favor Makes Contract Void. " "We can't leave out the consideration in these case of what the heads of unions are trying to do.. Tliere are' corporations and firms in this city who will not employ union labor. Why should any officer of the city of Boston pay more than necessary to have* good work done to favor some organization? He,might as well favor the Odd, Fellows, the Masons, or "the Knights of Columbus.' "I think that this*1 contract was given to tlie man who got it because Fish was informed that Wilkinson was unfair to union labor.. The city has no right to use public money lo bolster, up any organization. I don't think the .contract ought to be enforced, arid I shall issue an injunction in the case, restraining it-from-being enforced.-'-' c Iv ' trncrnjat "awfuFIifure-!a"tTtlie"7cldo"r_ancr Ihey . camo, -along, with Germans; Swedes, Poles, Italians*,ancl Russians —multitudes- of tliem, " lo another island, called Manhattan.

A1 CCORDING io the voters' list of November 1st, .1909, tliere were 2,750 persons entitled to vote in the Fernie Electoral District, whereas according to tlie list of May 2nd of the current year there were only 2,0G8, which, with the addition of 28 transferred from other districts made- a total of 2,096, thus showing a diminution of 654. To, anyone giving these figures more than a cursory thought thc question must inevitably present itself. "Whence thc difference in the voting strength of a community in so short a period of six months? Had there heen an earthquake or an epidemic it would be explicable, but inasmuch as neither of these catastrophic events lias happened wc must look elsewhere for an answer. While realizing the enforced migration that takes place in all industrial centers and tlfttt the grim reaper ever and anon steps in to deprive citizens of all participation in mundane affairs thereby .effecting a decrease,* yet on the other hand there are new arrivals in every constituency to pEf- " set, at least partially the loss sustained * from the. - causes above referred to. Making every possible —allowance-under—nor-mal-conditions-the-dispa_it.v- 1,-etwccn deductions and additions as outlined assume proportions that necessitate an investigation in order to ascertain tlie reason therefor.' Basing our argument on the incontrovertibility of these deductions we must, perforce, seek farther afield for a satisfactory solution to tlie puzzle. "We wish iL to lie clearly understood that we are aware oC the fact that the voters' list requires priming from time to time in order that it may be as nearly accurate as is possible, but we do most emphatically object to,thc pruning being accomplished with the aid of a bludgeon. Every individual legally entitled to the franchise, no matter what his political affiliations may be, should lie afforded every opportunity to exercise that right without being hampered by the.actions of thoso whose motives Iherefor nro solely sordid 'We have made us of the word "sordid" and we not only mean whnt wo sny, but purposo to emphasize and amplify. The printiiig of the" names* of those objected to is paid for nt the rate of so much for each name consequently tho more numerous the quantity the greater tho bill to be .debited to thc Provincial Government, hence it is to the pecuniary advantage of thoso doing the work to swell tho list to the'utmost consistent with the policy of not killing lhe gooso that Jnys thc golden egg. The retort hns been made, nnd in fact lias been advanced ns an excuse that such tactics liko a two-edged sword cut both ways, and therefore why find fault Imcnuse just ns ninny of one political color us another may bo nf fueled. To this we roply wo do not care whether this were I rile tu* not, it does in nowise alter Ilie moral I'oivi! of lho principle involved nnd ns for matters of t,'\pi'ilieiioy in sueh n case avo-deem l.c-Hidi* Uic -■iii-Nt ion ciilsivly. This excuse, if kucIi we «"nii remit the cheque in payment. Further comment on that score is superfluous. ? When we took up this matter before it was learned that the major portion of the objections had been made in the names of two individuals only and as it was a moral certainty that these two individuals could not know all of those against whom they had filed objections then there must have been some ulterior motive behind their action. Ih the present case there' is again a wholesale butchery and having been interviewed by many of those whose.disfranchisement has been, attempted, we have taken the trouble to ascertain the name of the objector and learn that this time as in the previous instance the name of but one individual is signed and he was not acquainted with Jhose against whom he had filed the objection, and again we grasped the situation at once that 5t was the work of the same party that had engineered the prior deal, but had conveniently* kept in the background leaving others to be the cat's paw. That those that are entitled to be kept on the list by making application therefor does not in tlie least excuse this way of doing. No man should run the risk of losing thc right to vote solely because another is looking for the dollars that may. lie gathered in for the printing bill and it is high time? that some mefins should be adopted that Avill compel those who make objections to furnish a valid objection and failing to do so that they may be subject to a penalty, thus we may expect that this will have the effect of stopping the milking of the-government cow. • l Form B. Form of* notice to be given to the registrar of voters: ... To the Registrar of Voters 'for Electoral District: " -■ I object to the, name of W. S., of (Describe person objected to as he is described in the list, of persons claiming to vote, or Register of Voters as ihe ease may be) being placed (or- retained) on the Register of Voters for the .**,.. '. Electoral District .(or Polling Division of the Electoral District), on the following grounds (here specify the grounds of objections.) - Signed C. D.) (Objector to state here his qualification, his pro fession, trade or calling, and residence.) . • The weakness of this objection is that anyone may make an objection and the only restraint that maj' be effective is that no mau will raise an objection if he be honorable and those of opposite proclivities may thus rob a man* of his suffrage with impunity because there is no demand made to- swear him nor any penalty attached for unjustly-objecting. '.'.,.-,,-■ 'We find in the later list of objections thc name of the objector is one who is well known,to ur as the soul of honor and that his action wns absolutely free from any wilful intent to do nny man wrong and that lie hns been lead to attach his name nt the behest of another without realizing the purport, of the document signed, ancl while this is indicative of a lack of caution, on thc other hnnd it*wns a caso of misplaced confidence nnd the onus of responsibility for the act devolves upon the individual whose fertile brain conceived tho idea, liribery, corruption, impersonation nnd.the other corrupt practices nre not only condemned,' but arc punishable, but this wholesale slaughter hns a very far-reaching effect as it i.s a method whereby representative or democratic government becomes n complete farce nnd in its stead wo havo nn nuto- eracy, Very likely thoso who committed this wrong ngninst his fellow-mnn do not grasp tlio extent of the injury they mny enuse and wo doubt that it wns anything more than cupidity that was the prime motive. In conclusion wc may say that we do not feel ono whit disturbed that the result of tho election went ngninst us nnd would inveigh just hh Htrougly ngninst, such luetics if thoy were prneticcd by our side of tho political fence, but wo do unqualifiedly condemn the net ion of those guilty nf such schemes thnt nre put into operation primarily for iiicniclnry ■reasons nnd lmvo tho effect of robbing men of the opportunity in vote nnd by ko doing perhaps thwni'1 Din* will of Ihe public.

His injuries were found to be quite serious and ho" was removed to tho Pernie hospital on a special train where he now lies, but we are pleased to say that he is0 progressing as well as can" be expected ■ considering the nature of his hiirts. Owing to the fact that there was no cold water in,the wash house last Tuesday some of the men without any regard "for decency while totally divested of clothing, walked outside to the creek to get the necessary cold water.. This is particularly disgraceful, as the wash house immediately fronts on* the road where women and children are constantly .passing and it is to be hoped that the company will take the necessary steps to prevent the' possibility of a repetition of such a scandalous state of affairs.

The weather was not very propitious, as the wind was blowing a perfect hurricane. At the termination of the game the honors were equally divided, the score being Coleman 2, Bellevue' 2. It was therefore decided to replay the "match on Monday, the 31st. On the occasion of the replay a large crowd of enthusiasts lined up. No changes had been made In the Bellevue team, but Coleman were minus their center forward, Kellogg. On the Saturday's form, it certainly appeared that victory would come our way, but unfortunately our hopes were doomed to disappointment. The defence of the Bellevue team left nothing to be desired, but the forwards, with the exception of Varley, were certainly off their game. Goal Keeper Fisher played a really, splendid game, which was most heartily applauded by the supporters of both teams. Time and time again . it looked like dollars to cents that the Coleman forwards .would put the,ball through, but in spite of the fact that they had ten or twelve corner kicks in the' first half of the game, half time recorded "no score." On the resumption of the' game for the second . half, Coleman certainly had the advantage, and about six minutes- from time were successful in placing the hall between the posts from a corner kick. During the last few minutes of the game -Bellevue made strenuous "-efforts ..-to 'equalize, and were within an ace of succeeding. " Our defence was excellent .throughout, and had they received the help from* the forwards which was given them on the Saturday previous, the result would undoubtedly have been reversed.

He was about GO years of ago, The ;past week,has been one of vital statistics concerning labor matters. There has been issued a home office blue book concerning the'working of the Compensation Act, and this shows that the great sum of £2,274,- 238 was paid last year to workers under the act. But as some Industries are not included in*'the return the total amount is nearly three million pounds. In the groups Included— namely, mines, quarries, railways, factories, harbors and docks, constructional work, and shipping, there were 117,391 employers, with six and a half millions of employes. The number of claims underjthe act worked out as follows: Fatal "cases 3,341 . Average payment .., ..,£154 Disablement cases ...... 332,612 Average' payment £5 6s. Total compensation ..* £2,274,238 - A very few claims under the- act were the .subject of litigation, but of these 3,087 cases, no fewer than 2,427 were settled, in favor of the workmen. The average payment in case of death worked out at £154, and sin the case of disablement £5 6s. Compensation was paid in 24 industrial diseases, due mainly to nystagmus, beat hand, beat knee, boat elbow, and 497 cases-of lead-poisoning. Mining stands at the top of the list of dangerous trades, and in this industry the disease cases (2,290) resulted in £27,288 being paid by compensation. ' . disputes was 69,418. Definite results were reached in 28 disputes, involving 18,494 persons, and. of these nine were settled in favor of the work people, eight in favor of the employers, and ^11 were compromised. No fewer than 24,000 work people chad their wages advanced, and it is estimated that the increase meanB £1,200 per week. , Building Trade Strike. A strike which may, have far-reaching results has occurred in the building* trade in Manchester. The operative plumbers have struck work on the question of terms of employment. The plasterers and other trade unionists in tho building trade have also struck, work In sympathy with the plumbers, and the employers now threaten the men'with a general lockout unless the.matter is settled within a few days." The plumbers at a meeting hnve just decided that the terms of settlement are to ■ include that operative plumbers only are to be employed on glazing after September 1, 1911, and that the men then employed as glaziers should, as their places became vacant, be succeeded by operative plumbers. unless 30 non-unionists working in the pits were stopped or joined ,the federation. The non-unionists having taken the. latter course, there will be no strike. The total number of vacancies filled during the past month by the labor exchanges were 45,314, or about 1,510 a ;day. Thirteen new exchanges were opened during the month. The demand for workers exceeds the supply in the woolen trade, and for women in the clothing and lauu- dry trades. . Mineral-Guard Levitt was recently suspended for a month by the North- Eastern railway on the ground of his alleged delay in the working of a train. This suspension threatened to cause a strike, but the company having had all the fact laid before them by the men's deputation, they have decided not to further punish Levitt, and have removed the remaining 15 days af his suspension, 'lhe matter is now consequently closed, Tlie Shoe Workers' Journal for September, which is published at Boston, Mass., contains a review of the unions In tho shoo trade in America. ■*.» »»■ ****s**-->u;w^ w&tpfy$&' *»•% THE TEPEE A High Class Boarding House FIFTY ROOMS—COMFORTABLE, CLEAN AND CHEAP Electrically Lighted and Steam Heated Throughout R.

Askwith, the head of the labor,department of the board, of trade, has met the' parties concerned several times, and now after a filial conference certain proposals are to be submitted to the men concerned. Two trade societies are concerned, namely, the Steel Smelters' union, and the Iron and Steel Workers' union.

Mining Conditions in Nova Scotia Low wages, debt in the company's store, and because of these pay days with never a cent coming out of th-*. pay office is the lot of hundreds of mine workers in Nova Scotia. Evory miners' meeting, whether P._)V. A. or U. M. W. of A., is deluged ."continually with solicitations for help from lhe unprovided human wrecks of the coal mines. The mine workers of this province arc not only unable to provide themselves with the current necessities of life, but if thoy would hold their mlsornblo jobs they must lenrn to keep their mouihs shut at the dictates of thc boss, Tho man who has the: pluck to stand up among his follows ancl advocate any-trade union not. approved of by his employer shall do so at the peril of. having sentence of death by starvation passed upon him and his family. Our "captains of industry" who never tiro in their hypoci-iliC'.il ravings about "individual initiative".demnncV'that their every employe shall be docile, obedient and tractable to all their wishes, especially in regard to trade union, mailers. Dend or break is the'doom of every manly'man employed in or around tho mines. The insatiable greed for dividends is grinding the manhood out of thc Nova Scotia mine workers and has forced t,heir wages away below,, that of any other of tlfelr class who mako any pretence to organized effort, on this sentiment. This little article is written to show them how they are robbed in order ~" to provide large profits for" their employers, ancl, if possible, get them into one organization that is strong enough to defend themselves, their wives and children fi-om tlie heartless rapacity of professional dividend hunters. We propose to show that govern- .ment reports that the mine workers ' of Nova Scotia work a longer day, are paid less, while their product is selling at a higher rate than the organized mine workers of British Columbia. \ The only reason why the mine workers of Nova Scotia are in their present plight is because of their disorganized condition for the last dozen years. Wo want you, ~i.lv. Workman, 1o read over these extracts fi'om government reports carefully' und thin!' about them until they get fix.l on your memory. Let your -wife :'eaU' .them and talk over the question with her, whether it would not he to your ~TOMttrriTtl arlTinrtage—for—you—to—ge!- into a trade union that is going to demand a great deal higher wages' for its members in this province, and so make their homes brighter ancl families happier. Tho IT. M. \V. of A. is the only mine workers' organization strong enough, in sight today, to do this for you. Aro you going to help in this campaign or.iro you going to lay back and let others do the fighting? Thc first government report we shall cpioto from is by R. H, Coats, who was appointed by the Dominion government "to^make an investigation into the cause of wholesale prices in Canada during the past 20 years, namely from 1890 to 1909 inclusive," and who submitted his report to the' government May 10, 1910. You can* get this report for yourself by* applying to your local representative at Ottawa'. Mr,, Coat's investigation covered no less than 230 different commodities that are in daily demand and use. lie gives thc wholesale price obtained " for . each ' of them, and amongst ihe others he" gives the wholesale prico for coal in the Montreal market, where, the thing you produce and get your living from is sold. lie also gives the wholesale prices of coal sold by the Crow's Nest Pass Coal1 company at the mines in British Columbia. The tables of prices given for these two markets cna'be found on pages 192 and--19G of his report.. Look them up for yourself! We will give in parallel columns from these'1 two tables the prices obtained the first day of each month for tho years 1901 and 1909 in each of the above named markets, and we ask you Mr. Nova Scotia mine worker, to try and answer the question to yourself, why you are paid so much less' than thc fellows' in British Columbia if it is* not the direct rosult of your half- organized condition? * Price per ton, F. O. B., at the mines on the first day of each market month. Quotations supplied by Crow's Nest Pass Coal Co., Ltd_ wages are from 50 to 75, per* cent, higher than .yours. You -will"'notice that the British Columbia prices are the rates obtained at the mines. If yon deduct the cost of shipping from Glace. Bay ;Jo Montreal from the Montreal wholesaler's rates, the result. will vbe the price obtained at the mines in Glace Bay. • ' . * , During the late coal conspiracy trial held in Halifax* .the' .Dominion Coal company's sales agent, on -his oath, said that it cost that company,* in the month of September, 1909, $l'.2S per ton to ship coal .from Glace Bay to Halifax. , Official aftor official of the coal companies "got on tne, stand in that case and,swore that one of the reasons that coal was higher in Halifax than Montreal was. because it* cost more to ship coal -there than to Montreal on nccount. of the better facilities . at Montreal for handling conl. But let us grant that it costs as much to ship eoal to Montreal as' It does to Halifax, and deduct $1.2S from the average given by llie .Montreal wholesaler in the year 1901, and It will follow that the Dominion Coal sible'" for'tbe bank men to work on the outside. "Days Lost Through Accidents .and Funerals—For example, in nine collieries the Dominion Coal company lost, through * accidents, in 1906,* 31 days; 1907, 42'days;'190S, 43 days. - ''it will , be easily seen from the 'above- extract that men cannot get more than 260 days' work in the year. A man paid ($1.45 per day earns in the year $377;-at $1.65 per day, $429, and 'at $1.75, $4.55 per year. * General Manager Butler, , in the Glace Bay Gttzette of Sept. ICth, said, in speaking of a reduction in wages being made: "When the P. W. A. contract expires ,w,e will deal with the wage scale of bur. workmen in a* fair- and honorable, manner." • Wh-jn he' said that-- he was only saying ,wha,t, every mino manager in the .province is always saying. They are always dealing "fairly and honorably", with workmen; that'is, according to their standard of "fairness and honorable- nes's." 1 will show below what kind of life their fair wages ancl honorable conditions enable the ordinary working plug lo live, and what, they con- sidor fair and honorable profits.

How did the wages of these two coal companies compare with each other that year? Well, here is another little book issued by the Dominion government that tells exactly how the wages of the Nova' Scotia mine worker compared with' his fellows in' British Columbia in the, year 1901. The book was issued in 1907 and is called ".Census Statistics, Bulletin No. 1, Wage-earners by Occupations." We quote from pages 1 and 3 where it is recorded that the mining class of British Columbia worked In the year 1901 9.11 months and each ,man earned ori an average of $6-44.81, whilo the men in Nova Scotia worked 10.60 mbnthsand earned $381.45. How does that strike you, Mr. Nova Scotia Mine Worker? Work over a month longer for $236.36 less than your- fellows in British Columbia, whose employer got 43 cents a ton less for his product than yours got for the coal you dug. Oh, but you are easy- very. So much for the year 1901. Let us 'again deduct $1.28 for tho cost of shipping coal from ' Glace'' Bay..- to Montreal from the rate given above by the Montreal wholesaler for the year 1909, and we find that tho price obtained at Oloce'T-ay at the mine is 5*2.32 per ton,'or 20 cents more than is obtained by the Crow's Nest Pass Coal company. You know the rate of wagos yon receive today; if. you are paid by the day ;you are getting, any- where from" "to- Road carefully over again the prices obtained for your product and compare them with tho prices obtained in British Columbia, .where tho men are well organized, .and as a result their "ffjrw The feeling of ease which eoiiios w*lh tho possession of a bank-book Is something not. lo bo despised -no matter what your position or pros- )IC'(.'t.S, A bunk nccount eliminates worry find iarc--c-i.nscs you to f:ul that you have something lo fall back '".yon in an iiiMiinro of oinergc.iiey.

The last straw, came when- a furniture company asked * him to pay arrears amounting to £1 17s. 6d. Par-, doe cut his throat, and .then went to a policeman,-who took him to a hospital. The magistrate remanded him, The other story was of Edward Pollard, a clerk, also of Canning Town,* who took three blocks of wood froui the street, to make a flro for his wife and child. -Pollard has been out of work since January, and a policeman who visited his house said that he found very little food. ,"I. had nothing to oat since Thursday/', Pollard told the .magistrate. "Ofi Saturday night a friend gavo. me V/.d„ and I took tho blocks toi boll the'kettle. , "For days ancl days I have been .without food, and weeks and weeks I have had * insufficient food. I had to walk to London hospital and undergo, an operation, and walk back home without a bite of food. "I have been to the labor exchange and to the docks, and can get no work."' . '.

Yes, Fernie lost the contest by two points. There was one no each sldo who scored 76, the C.-E., shot ought to have done better in order to harmonize with his name "Giinn,"* yet sooth to say he may. congratulate himself that he was by no means the poorest marksman on either side. After the smoke and smell of powder had vanished into thin air anothor smoko and another smell was ' provided at the Burton hotel and there's no instance recorded that at this gajne" any of our local sportsmen missed tho target. Although Creston- Erickson won tho contest by two points the Fernio, aggregation likewise had two points tho best of it in the gobbler class by carrying off nine out of tho 14 turkeys. u It -was altogether a rattling good time and as hosts tho Creston-Erickson residents both male and female aro unsurpassed: Fornie.
