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.

"EMPRESS" SURVIVORS Heartrending Scenes Recounted by Rescued Passengers-No Time to Prepare for Horrible Doom $1.00 A YEAR ral Dist. 18, United Mine Workers of America The etorles told by the survivors of Uie sinking ot tbe Empress of Ireland possess a'poignant Interest. Some of them follow: Mr. and IMrs, Thomas H, Greenaway of the Salvation Army band had .been married ln Toronto but a -week and during the fow hours each gave the • other up for lost. "We were notified to.go on deck .- after the crash,", said Mrs. Greenaway - in relating hor experience. "And -With- out -feeling very nervous, we threw on wraps and left our cabin, In the confusion I lost my husband. I do not know how it'happened, but I found ' some friends and one of them put a life-belt;'«& me, All the time I was looking, for my husband, and he was nowhere to 'be seen. The boat tilted farther and we were all holding to the .. rail ior dear lite. It Kept going over and -we were all forced to climb the rail and stand on the side. The *boat was nearly under by naw. I felt that all iwas over and I ibega-a to -pray. As I stood there aBking for Divine help, I felt the water Bwlftly mounting. The suction drew me downward, deep down ln the swirling 'backwater, I could not seem to realise that, death .was very near, even though I had given up all hope. My ankle iwas cut and I vjae •bruised about jlhe body as a result of the explosion. When I regained consciousness, which must have been tout* a.moment or go later, I. found myself lying across a chair In the water. I have no idea how I got there. I think that the explosion must have "blown Ae right out of the waiter. "Then I made myself secure and ■waited. Soon a raft wltji two men on JtUloaied^e-ar-me^^-iage-snaa-asd . another were on it. The big man held -out a paddle to.me and asked: 'Are you alive?' ," '"I guess I am, because tiie cut in my ankle and the burns are smarting . me,' I told bim. I caught hold of tbe •tick, however, and he pulled me onto the raft.. Then he pnid: 'Do not be afraid, little girl, my wife's gone,' and I answered, 'I lost my husband.' He gave me bis coat That kept me warm and I think it saved my life. I do not remomber anything more until I found myself on board the collier. I have not seen those men since, and I - am afraid they went' down. In the morning they took me to a hotel." Separatee! Prom Hia Wife Mr. Greenaway told of the separation and of his subiequent adventures. He went back to get some wraps for his wife and, also to close the 'window to prevent <watcr from coming in ond spoiling some of their clothes. None of the pat-Miters, it would seem, realised the danger. They all seem* ed to think sjmott until tbe laat that everything would be all right, When he readied the dank, sold iMr. Green- away, he eould not find Us wife. Several mem-ben of the party had seen . her, but whers she was they did not know. As tbe Mat went over,, ho climbed over ths rail to tho aide with the others. "I looked around for ber. but she wat aot la tight I decided that tbe must de gone and all this time ahe ttoo* but a few feet away In tke darkaeat. "Then f decided to go down with the •hip," he coatliued. "I greap*d the tall firmly and down we went Then came (he exploilon tbat loosened my grip aad I earns to the surface. The ilrat (bine I taw waa tbe lag of a table. I am aot a swimmer, but I managed to reach It and there I clung until lha pilot boat picked me up. I w«a taken ashore and received splendid treatment in s hospitable home and then thia -morning t went out to aee If my .wife had bm tared. HI found her st tht hotel. We wept togethtr tor van Joy." ttirt, Oftara, Toronto, with her little •lri ellnging to fair tide, wns onn of the "I -was awakened," said Mr. Duncan, "by four whistles, which meant that the Empress of Ireland had been bit by some other steamer, whioh turned out to be the iStorstad. This meant that Captain Kendall was 'keeping to his course;' then there were..bell signals to go full astern. Tbe engines responded instantly, and then the .crash oanie, the Storstad striking tbe Empress amidships. The Impact did. not seem serious to Captain Kendall, or the commander of the Storstad, bat it was sufficent to leave quite a space -between, them. The'Empress launched a (boat to see what the damage was, and almost at the same moment the Empress listed to one side. "Before there was any 'warning for the passenger to go on deck, the ship lurched again and went down." Many Died In Lifeboats ;Mr. Duncan's account of men and women dying In the lifeboat from ev .posure shocked his listeners who crowded about him at Levis. As the J_300 or more men filed by bim, Air. Mr. Duncan noted the predominance of members of the crew. Of this he had not a thing to say. "There iwas some fog," explained.Mr. Duncan, "and it was cold. We were going very slowly when the (first 'whistle gave the warning of danger. Weather conditions were favorable after the disaster.". ' <Mr .Duncan described the early dawn and the fine warm sun which-came,up same time and'said, "The sun saved many a life." 'Described iby an officer tn charge of one of the Ill-fated -liner's (boats as "about the -bravest woman of tie lot," Mrs. Kieney from -Toronto told her storsMa-sriiaif-^atHeticr MtPfcumoiv" ous manner. {' She <was dressed lh a big coat many -dices too large, was without a hat and had lost every bit of baggage and her savings of 18 months that she was taking with her to England, where she was to stay for a year's holiday. Nevertheless she wore a bright smile all' through end declared that once she Btarted out, not even a ship wreck would make her turn hack. She would wait at Quebec while the shipping company made arrangements to send her to her people, for she was determined to have her holiday. "There were four girls in my cabin," she said, "and the only thing of the accident I know of was that there was a Hg ibump, All of us Jumped up, but I said I thought lt was only an Iceberg wo had smashed, and was not troubling, when I found that the boat was going over to ohe side, so I ron up on deck and found out what was the matter. The boat was going over all the time and I could hear people all round the boat crying for help. Slide Down Deck Into Sea "I saw a man slide right down the deck Into the watipr and I thought I might as well do H al«, to I let myself go. I had learned to swim when younger, -but did not think I should be able to do ao now. However, I waa going away front the thlp when suddenly a man came toward me and clung to -my nlgfatolothtt, for I had been obliged to discard the raincoat. I shouted to Mm to let me go, for he waa pulling roe down, and my cries must hare been heard In one of the boats, for something came toward me and I was pulled Into a boat. I could not got in myte\t for tbo man was holding onto me. He let. go as soon aa I was pulled Into the boat. "I oould not help laughing when I dM gat Into tha boat, the way tliey all looked," and the plucky little woman rtgarded herself with a smile.

Union officials receiveu rews three weeks ago, through one of tbeir sources of information that the operators would plaut guns and then announce that they belonged to strikers. This information was published by the ewspapers at that time. The firing on Federal troops is a similar stripe of f m. murdered the innocents at. Ludlow. C. W.

Referee, Moore. (Coleman, 2; Hlllcrest, 0. Jas. Wilson. Frank, 1; Corbin, 0. Referee, Sapds. A meeting of the Executive was held at Sanl-torium Hotel, Frank, on Saturday evening last, to hear the charges preferred by Referee Walsh against certain players and spectators at the game played at Coal Creek on Monday, IMay 25th; also to consider protests by 'Goal Creek and Hillcrest clubs against Referee Walsh's competency to act as referee. There appeared before tbe committee to give evidence, Mr. Qrabam, Corbin, Mr. J. R. McDonald, Mr. I. Hutton and Mr. Marplas of Frank; Mr. T. Banns and Mr, R. Johnston of Coal Creek. The committee, after carefully considering the evidence of the above parties felt compelled to take drastic measures In ordor to try and give hotter protection to the referees. It might be pointed out. tbat, Insofar as the Executive ara concerned, they had no hand in appointing referees, and are in no way responsible for incompetent referees being selected, they feel, however, that lt It Incumbent on then to give referees the fullest protection, until such evidence may be forthcoming thet warrants their suspension. It it to be hoped that penalltes tbat have been dealt out re- gardlng these oases will bave their salutary effect on the players and clubs of the league. -The replay will, In all probability, take place on Saturday, June tilth. Coal Creek thould play Hosmer on that date, •hat It Is believed thnt mutual arrangement-* with Hoamer will be made to play on Wednesday, Joan 1Mb. in Fernie.

Plaintiff Loses Case This now famous case came on for GLADSTONE LOCAL-UNION ■The members of Gladstone Local Union held a special mass meeting in the Grand Theatre_aa-3'uesday-*mora- ing, The purpose of the meeting was to receive and discuss a communication from Superintendent Canfleld. It was a reply to the demand of the local union tbat "three men working in a place shall cease on the 30th of May." The superintendent pleaded that it j was not to the best interests of the parties concerned to force him to carry out the terms of the agreement, owing to tbe abnormal conditions of this particular section of the coal second trial yesterday before the j seam in No. 2 mine. Honorable Mr. Justice Clement. Mr. llQ curators submit vory 'convinc- ..'. i.Uiiit that the strikers did the shooting. They say the shots came from the Union tent colony. People in .Coloardo, however, have Ej| long since learned to know that this is & ■ no sign that tho strikers created the trouble. The remember the case of ony Laugowski, .who told the Congressional committee that he was hired by the operators to Join the Sopris local and start trouble. He joined and became secretary of the local, receiving |3 a week from the Union aud $3*a day from the operators. Longowski did his work well. He planted the dynamite. It exploded- and strikers were blamed for the reign of terror. His testimony showed clearly tp what limits the Colorado coal operators -will go in their effort to discredit Union men. •This is the 'open season for indict- cents in Colorado. Fremont is the second corporation owned county that had indicted Union men. More than 50 have been arrested on charges of murder and attempt to murder ana held under exorbitant bonds. This makes 150 men indicted, with Las Animas and Huerfano counties tbe centers of the conflict to . be heard from. As these are probably tbe worst corrupted counties in tbe State ,the entire relief list of .the strikers will probably ibe indicted. And while all of these men have been held on serious charges^ It_ls Interests STRIKE THREATENS BITTER STRUGGLE Macnell and Mr. A. M. Johnson are appearing for the defendant.. At tbe conclusion of the plaintiff's case the defendants applied for non-suit, which was refused. Tbey called as witnesses for -the defendants a galaxy of engineering stars from all over the country. The Cardemone case, as It well know, arose out of the snowslide at Coal Creek, December 30th, 1912, in which snowslide six men were killed and several Injured, Somo of the actions arising thereout were settled* under tbe Workmen's Compesatlon Act, but upon the advise of Mr. Macnell, Cardemon© Injury was made the subject of a test case, and this ease, coming up before Mr. Justice Murphy last IMay, the plaintiff was non-suited, but Mr. Macnell appealed and the Court of Appeal In Vancouver last November held that there was evidence to go to the Jury and unanimously tent the ease back for a new trial, whioh new trial Is now being held.

A deputation was then appointed, composed of one man from each mine, with the Executive Officers, to Interview -Manager Wilson, and acquaint him of the determination of tho meeting- The snmo plea was again advanced, that tbe abnormal pressure of tho roof warranted the management in employing three men to a place in order that the work may be rushed through. HoK'over, such arguments ne advanced by Manager Wilson do not meet with the approval of experienced miners. Some time ago tbe Chief Inspector of Mines stopped the practice of working three shifts In tbe 24 hours, for the reaion that the accelerated removal of coal produced abnormal pressure of roof and sides, and a large amount of gas, which greatly added to the danger of life and limb of the miner. Manager Wilton gave the deputation a written assurance that Immediately thia abnormal condition (whioh le not abnormal I of the coal aeam was passed through, the third man would bo withdrawn, and furthermore, that the company had no desire to Introduce this system In any mine at Coal Creek. The report of the deputation was received and discussed In the morning and the adjourned aeaalon In the evening It waa again reiterated that such a system could not be tolerated any longer, being a violation of a long-established custom and a breach of the atiwrnent Acting IVldf-nt draham and Secretary Carter addressed the meeting unofficially.

Considering that these imported assassins in the uniform of Colorado's militia murdered nineteen men, women and children at Ludlow and that the miners killed no women and children and only such men as deliberately attacked them, tbe results of these grand jury Investigations should certainly show tbe United States just how rotten is the corporation control of Colorado's county and State governments. Adjutant General John Chase, who at the head of the mllltla tryannlzed the strikers for six months and kicked Snrah Slator viciously in ' the breast when he and his troopers tried to slaughter parading women and children in Trinidad, January 22, showed his size as a "man" In n speech at Greeley this week. This pliant lickspittle of the operators who made a miserable failure of trying to brenk the strlko for the operators and was chagrined when his "mellsh" wero forced out of tho field by the United States troops, expressed himself ns follows: "It Is with extreme satisfaction that I read that the troops of the United States are being made monkeys of and that every time President Wilson tries to make a move chaos results in the house." Chase Is now acting aa an evangelist for the "Law and Older League," or Citizens' Alliance. That one (icntcnco thould show the people of the country what kind of law and order Chase wantt, The operators are frantically grasp- iuti every straw to win back public sentiment lost forever when their gunmen London, June 3.—The building trades war, which began in London last autumn and will extend into a national strike a week hence, threatens to become a prolonged and bitter tussle. •The London Federation of Building industries has made a sensational strategic move, equalling that of the building contractors, by the elimination of the new $500,000 headquarters of the London Theosophioal society from among the works stopped. The society's trustees have now agreed: to' employ Iftbor directly through the federation, the latter guaranteeing to supply efficient workmen, it, of course, insists tbat only trade unionists shall be employed and it offers Blmilar terms to such master .builders as are ready to quit the employers' federation and accept "tbo closed shop" principle. It. is believed that this policy will be largely developed and ultimately employ a majority of the 26,000 London workers now locked out and thus provide a solution of the London dispute. FLATTERING! Last week, upon receipt of the news that thc Empress of Ireland bad gone down with some thousand souls on board, we made arrangements with the Lethbridge Her- aU to telegraph ua a full account—TttWwiw done and the Ledger was the first paper to give a full account of the disaster in Fernie. There Is, however, another paper ln the town tbat does not believe in paying for telegraph news or crediting a contemporary for special news that they clip. The whole of the special wire to the Ledger, w6rd for word, and even the errors, was clipped and published without the slightest acknowledgement. We feel flattered at tbem recognizing our enterprise to the extent of clipping our now#, but to reproduce our errors must be either rank ignorance or dog-gone cussidness. Is it possible that this was Intended for a courteous acknowledgement that we are invariably correct? MISSED SHOT KILLS MINER AT PHOENIX Phoenix, Ii.

First to Tako Labor's Side Mr, HiHquit declared that the So- ..•i-AHst party was the first organization to lane the field for labor legMntlor, tlu: it l'as consistently aided the fule diiion movement ln fighting for improved conditions. i'e explained ! wiib cure, In answer to a multitude of questions, tho dL1».er>.e betvedi an -.■"ffit'lal expression of the party tird tho utterances of individual Soolallsts. IMr. HiHquit was at all times ready with his answers to questions. During tbe morning session he had delivered a statement covering the work and aims of rhe Socialist party, and his address covering an hour and one-half of time. The questioning, however, found him in fine condition and he appeared to enjoy every moment of it. The Board of Estimate Chamber, where the hearing was held, was packed. Frequently the auuience tbroke into applause, compelling Chairman Walsh to rap sharply for order. Doesn't Oppose Organized Workers iMr. Hillquit declared that the Socialist movement was not in opposition to the organized labor movement, though many Socialists believed that the present leadership is not suniciently progressive. President Gompers was called as the first witness at the morning session, but he disliked going on tbe stand. He said that he understood the A. F. ot L. was to be the subject of investigation and said he wanted time to prepare data on the matter, stating that he was ready to place the cards on the table face up. After a lengthy argument, he was excused and Vincent St. John, Secretary and Treasurer of the I. W. W.1 was called to the stand. When the afternoon session opened, the chairman announced tHat a ALBERTA raidcal departure would be made in 14th of each llie procedure and conduct of the session and that he would permit Gora- JOSEPH HICKS Advokat Verejny Notar MACLEOD BOX 7 ALBERTA Nactivuje Bellovue na 14 kafidy raesac In reply to questions as to -industrial unionism, Hillquit expressed "the opinion that the A. F. of L.' was.rapidly .changing its form. He said amalgamation of various trades in one-industry tended to .ibring greater solidarity of the workers. In beginning his address, Hillquit outlined the object and history of the Socialist party. Socialist Party's Object "The object of the Socialist party or of the Socialist movement may be summarized in a fow words," he began, "the nationalization of the industries. The Socialist party believes that the first and most important industries of the country, such as those upon which the life and welfare of ihe community defends, should not •be owned, managed and controlled -by Individuals or private corporations for their .perBonul .benefit and profit and without regard for the public welfare, hut should ibe conducted as a social function primarily for the benefit of the community by responsible agents of the people organized for that purpose. "Concretely stated, Socialism demands the collective ownership of the principal tools, sources <and resources of wealth production. When I say collective ownership,, I do not mean by that national ownership of all the industries in the, country. The Socialists would abolish private irresponsible ownership and would substitute social Ownership in such form as in each oase would be 'best adapted, to a. given industry. "Far instance, we advocate national ownership of Interstate railroads, telephones, telegraphs and other means of Interstate communication and transportation. We might well conceive of a -proper national ownership and management of mines, for instance, or of such industries as are already organized on a national scale, as the great trustified industries of ■the country. Others Best Run by City "We would .probably conceive of certain other industries wholly located iwithin one city and best managed by the city government. Then there is the large area of municipal industries, such as street cars, water- Convention works and gas works which should be i party, DR.

It is nothing ibut an attempted solution oi certain problems which have arisen recently and for which. Socialists believe the Socialist" program is the only ■answer." ;; Hillquit then pointed out the historical basis of the .Socialist movement. He traced the development of industry from the individualistic handicraft stage to .its. contemporary condition of large scale social production, emphasizing the fact that it has accomplished the divorcement of the worker from the tool of .produc tion and concentrated him with bis fellows In large factories and work shops where he operates machines which do not 'belong to him and the exclusive ownership of which by the Individual workers would be impossible. Ho pointed out the distinction between the social tools of production and their method of owner- ership, and declared that it was the purpose of the Socialist movement to bring the ownership of the tools ot 'production into harmony with the method. Explains Class Struggle He explained the class struggle and said that it was at the bottom of practically all the big soc'a'. problems of ■the day, and declared that these problems would continue as lo*:*; as the class struggle exists. He touched 'briefly on some of the big questions of the day—rhlld labcr, unemployment, vice" and crime—and said they all had their origin in the capitalist system. ' Hillquit 'was . particular to make clear that the Socialists were evolu- lonlsts, who neither proposed to nor believed they could abolish the present social order out of hand. The Socialist iparty, he explained, receives its principal support from tho better situated workers. "This does not mean," he Bald "that the Socialists wish to encourage a labor aristocracy," In answer to a question by Thompson, Hillquit made clear the position of the Socialist party toward tho labor organizations, reading into the record the resolution on the union question adopted at the Indianapolis In 1912 of the Socialist Health Restored By - HA.GERSVti,i,£! ONY,, Aug.! 26th. 1913. "About two years ago, I found my health in a very bad state. My kidneys and liver were not doing their work, and I became all run-down.

"I did," he relied with emphasis. "That has been the policy of the party always." "Has that always been the policy of tho Socialist party.?" Uo was asked. lillquitt explained that this position has always been maintained by the Socialist party. Gompers then tried to show that the Socialist movement has on several occasions encouraged tlie organization of unions opposed to existing trade organization, but Hill- qultt declared that this was done 'by the S. L. P., not by tae Socialist party. "Has factory legislation been recognized (by the Socialist party?" Always Aid Factory Legislation "Wherever possible the Socialist party has aided It.

Associations of employers dealing specifically1 or In a great measure •witn the labor,| problem have not indeed been uncommon In American, industrial history. Every period Ot tha* his-- tory, In iSact, that has seen the rise "of organised'labor ~movements has likewise witnessed .the formation of employers' associations to combat these organizations ot the working class. In 1834-37, .when trade union activity was quite marked, general trade unions springing up in almost all the larger cities, anU when "strikes," according ta a New York newspaper, "were all the fashion,' tho employers in the various places affeoted banded together to counteract this movement, inveighing against the laibor organizations, we learn, ln a manner quite "up- to- date." And in the Civil yar period, when the National Labor Union and the Knight of St. Crispin flourished, and the Brotherhood of the Footboard, the forerunner or the Brotherhood, o£ Locomotive Engineers, the Cigar .Markers' International Union and the Bricklayers' arid Masons' International Union came into existence, employers' associations arose to bitterly attack these unions, to protest against the so-called "closed shop" policy, declaring that 'wages should be determined not in an "artificial" manner, but by the unerring law of "supply and demand." All of these "organizations, however, were of a temporary nature and at no time have they paralleled the associations of the present day In either magnitude or in the elaborate program at -warfare upon the organized laboring class. It is within the last two decades that these associations have acquired1 that permanence, self- consciousness, perfected organisation, and numerical strength which they display today, with great defense funds at their disposal and with representatives ln almost, every State, and whioh "endow them with a new personality and an augmented importance." ' The only organizations of emlployerB which, up untllthe'present'time, were pf permanent duration were" those which were founded by purely trade purposes.

"Por a great many years," declared Wllloughby, in writing on this-matter," employers In many industries Stave had their local, and national organizations for the consideration of their special trade interests." "Originally," he adds, "these associations did not Include In any way among their function that of even con- slderlng, much less of taking action in relation to labor matters. It was Inevitable, however, that, as the trade unions made their demands upon employers generally In a trade Instead of upon particular establishments, the employers should utilize these organizations (or the consideration of these demands. As the principle of collective bargaining gradually extended, many of -these associations added to their functions that of treating with lahor." The next step ln»the foundation of agencies to deal entirely with the matter of labor, wos not a difficult one. In October, im, the Journal Dixie, located In Atlanta, Qa„ and edited by T. Ilk Martin (now general manager of tho .*Tacoma Chamber of Com- ! merce), published an editorial showing I forth tbe need of a "National Assocla- * Uou of Manufacturers," lu order "to properly uadsrtalce the development of trade relations with Mexico and South America" and to "prevent a -halt In the movement of trado oxtenilon." "The indtvtdoal Influence and strength of the members of auch an organisation/' It wm also urged, "would thus become co-operati-TO, and could bo centered, witb powerful force, for tboimssage of favorable reciprocal treaties, suitable tariff laws, and for tiie establishment of mora perfect transportation faclll- ilea." Hundreds of copies of this edl- uii t»i a«i« eeut tu ike HMtmHacturere of tke country, resulting, after certain Iwllmta-fttT steps, in the formation of tbe XatloM! Association of Manufacturers la tbo Cltgr of Cincinnati on ibe Ud of January, IMS.

Stove Founders' National Defense Association (which had ibeen in existence since 1886); the Illinois Coal Operators' Association, established in 1897; the Dock Managers' Association, cbioposed ot all the leading employers in this industry along the Great lakes; the National Association of BmplbylngJLlthographers, the \mer- iban Cotton Manufacturers' Association and the powerful Building Trades Employers' Association of the City of New Yprk. Some of the associations, though founded for purposes of defense, 'were not openly hostile to the labor unions, 'but sought rather through collective bargaining, to work In harmony with them, But the vast, overwhelming ma- Jorlty were practically opposed to any of the organized efforts which the workers could at all put forth and wero particularly antagonistic to the "closed shop" policy. Out of this hostility sprang the C'ti- zens' Industrial Association of America and, the -American Anti-Boycott Association. The former organization, form'edi in 1903, a-t Chicago, under the leadership of President Ptyry of the National Association of Manufacturers, and ■permanently established at the Indianapolis convention of the following year, "to do for the employers' associations what the American Federation of Labor has done for the la'bor organizations." Its "Platform of Principles" reads as follows: , No closed shop. No restriction as to the use of tools, machinery or material except such as are unsafe. 'No limitation of output. No restriction as to the number of apprentices and helpers, when -of proper age. No boycott. No sympathetic strike. No sacrifice of independent wonk- men to the. union. No compulsory use of .the union label. —■'principles which received the ap- ■proval ot President Charles W. BJiot of Harvard University, who declared in regard to them: "I find every one of these principles to be in defense of private and ipubllc liberty.," In Decemiber, 1913, there were affiliated with the Citizens' Industrial Association (50 National associations, 60 State nnd district associations, and 335 local or municipal associations of employers. After an existence of some three years, however, it was deemed neces. sary by those Interested, to obtain "a closer co-operation than seemed to be afforded through tho Citizens' Industrial Association," and, as a consequence, this organization was merged Into tiie National Council for Industrial Defense at "a meeting of national trade associations at tlie Waldorf-Astoria, New York, August 19, 1907"~a meeting which bad been brought about mainly through the activities of President Van Cleve of the National Association of Manufacturer. Fourteen National employers' associations joined in the establishment of tbe council, among them being tho National Pounders' Association, tbo National Metal Trades Association, tbe Erect- ore' Association, and the American Autl-BoyooU Association. This -latter organization is deserving of especial attention. U came into being ln 1902, with a membership of 100 loading employers, and haa been continually increasing In membership until now, Including members from the A rl antic to tbe Pacific wbo nto enraged in all branches of Industry and transportation.

Eating between meals is a frequent cause of indigestion and intestinal disorders, because introducing a fresh mass of food into the mass already partly dissolved arrests the healthy action of the stomach and causes the food first received to lie until incipient fermentation takes place. The liver, unlike the stomach, is constantly secreting, and when too much carbonaceous food has been taken, the bile becomes too thick and consequently unable to perform its office. Every intelligent person, who appreciates the inestimable value,of good health, should read the "Rules of Life" set forth in the booklet enclosed in every package of ENO'S "FRUIT SALT" By strict adherence to these rules, even those of impaired constitution have been made healthy and conparatively robust. Eno's "Fruit Salt" is a health-giving, cooling and invigorating beverage, which should be kept in every household in readiness for an emergency. Where it has been taken in the earliest stages of disease, it has in many instances prevented what would otherwise have been a serious illness. Order a bottle TO-DAY from your dealer.

To defeat the machinations of the corporation 's prostituted courts and secure the release of the mineworkers will 'mean a long and bitter legal fight, and iif the satellites and legal vampires are not satisfied, previous experience tells us only too well what will happen. "Labor omnia vim-it" (Labor conquers everything) may have been true three thousand years ago, but it doos not fit in too well today, and if we are to defeat the master class and win this strike, they have shown us (until the lesson has become tedious) we must play thoir "own game. But to do this we want funds, and we want you lo help. SURVIVOR'S TRAGIC STORIES (Continued from Page One.) THE STRIKE! There are many who insist, that the strike is a lime for holiday—a time, to eat. sleep, fish, limit n tii\ trniiM"4iIIy__i>iijoy..lifft_;_ it_t.iiiip_J.ft._nniL-JEAKiaLJuir. and let; the other fellow do his own share. True, il i.s a new experience for the average worker to know that he will get his next meal without risking tho dangers of thc mine or the possibilities of losing his job, You can find some, excuse for men who have been harnessed to thc drudgery of modern civilization if they do feel inclined to regard a strike in the light of a holiday. There is. however, this possibility, viz.. that when we are working we may look upon the struggles of our brothers in camps that are on strike, as enjoying a fine time, with lots to eat aud nothing to do. This is not the The Ihe x-cvy start that they would not be permitted to enjoy unalloyed bliss: they knew that they would be turned out of the coal barons' mansions (f)';.and they were not disappointed. Their fight has not been a* holiday and they have not the facilities to enjoy life that we in this district have, Colorado offers little to tho sportsman in the way of fish or game—that is the parts where the mines are situ- Hied and the jneii arc denied the opportunities lo kill time tliat wort* enjoyed here. Still in spite of fire and lead, General Chase, the Law and Order Alliance, Governor Adams, and Iloekefeller's sensitive (and elastic) conscience, thoy are still on strike, and will remain so until their demands are conceded. It is intended shortly to hold a dance or concert position of affnm-s in Oolorado, far from it. mineworkers in Colorado recognized from To those who may think that absence of news from the Island means the strike has been settled, would state that this is not the ease—far from it. The men are just as determined as ever, and were it not for .Tap and Chinese that a patriotic Conservative Government permits to act as strikebreakers to defeat British subjects, there would not be many of the Island mines working today. Mineworkers are warned to keep away from the Island, and we cannot think that any intelligent man in District 18 would go to the coast without first ascertaining the condition of affairs there. THE EMPRESS DISASTER The press has had plenty of copy this week relating the various incidents in connection with the sinking of the Empress of Ireland. What was inconceivable last week is easily understood when we realize that the big liner was hit amidship by a 6,000 ton collier laden wilh coal. The Storxtad must have hit the passenger boat and tore open her side; water poured into the gap; the ship immediately listed; those passengers in the berths on fhe^Trie-TOTueicTTCTpr^^ Avere immediately dyowned. Those who gained the decks were compelled to cling to the hand rail to save themselves from slipping off intoN the sea. and when they were thrown into the sea tliey were either struck or caught by the wreckage. With Ihe ship listed so badly it was impossible to launch Captain's Brave Work "At once lie commenced orders with the idea of getting some of the people who were still ahout the ship. But it looked as if we were not to he allowed to get away without injury. Three times we came to grief,' but each time we as. narrowly escaped. To begin witli we dropped the .boat, the davit rope caught and the liner was heaving •fast. The rope whicti> was attached to our boat was "being; knocked, down and th© prow of our boat with it. Three of us got up and. managed to get clear when we looked up and found that in waiting for the captain under the lee of the 'bridge we had come directly in line with one of the funnels, which was -hanging over our heads and coming down to the boat so quickly that all we could do was to push out with one oar, and in doing go we broke IL "The funnel missed us by inches. We then thought we were clear, but not yet. Pulling'away from the ship to avoid the suction which was becoming apparent, we found that the wires stretched from mast to mast as part of the wireless apparatus, lay right in the path ot the -boat ahd had us imprisoned in an'area of water that was fast becoming a whirlpool. To get out of this we, managed to -pull the wires over the prow and then rowed toward the Storstad. "Then the orders came short and fast. Captain Kendall told us that all men who -were wet through in the boat were to stay on the Stordstad and all those fit to row were to return with htm to the rescue. Taking five bed- room stewards, he returned to cruise around the Empress and soon returned with about 50 people. A second time he went back and then he took an oar himself,, besides giving the orders. Again he brought back a large nunvber pulled from the water and then he went back for the last time and once more returned with passengers. He staggered from the iboat to the deck of the Storstad and collapsed In a heap." Death of Mr. and Mrs. Irving .Mr. Lawrence Irving, the famous actor, and son of the late Sir Henry Irving, went down to hi3 death, according to one of the survivors, as he was trying to help his wife over the starboard rail. - Tlie vessel gave a last lurch before she settled and as the deck tilted, Mr. and Mrs. Irving slipped ■bark against the cabin and the waters rolled u.p and grasped them. iMr. Thomas Smart of Toronto says he believes he was the last man to speak to Captain Kendall before' the collision. "I was sitting out on the upper deck," he said, "when the captain ^vaiiOT^innrounraifWsttfneo'ci-Mit tain and three mates, and that ahe ■was able to saqd.out only, one of. ber lifeboats. -, The,J3iant Can Opener The sharp point of an anchor projecting from-the twisted boiw of the Norwegian "-collier Storstad may explain why that vessel did such terrible execution. An "examination,-today, of the collier's shattered plates revealed the anchor-jammed In a position where it could have ibeen- ripped through the hull of the" Empress like a great can opened. The anchor point and portions of the battered fiiteel'surrounding it bor.e stains of blood.

UVANNI ON THE MAT Joe Uvanni will surprise the fans when, on Thursday, June 11th, he will meet Sam Clapham, England's light- heavyweight champion wtfest'ler, on the, mat at the Fernie Athletic Club. Wthen, in 1908, Joe defeated Lex Clayton of Winona, Minn., he demonstrated then that he could wrestle as well as ibox, but Joe says there Is more money in 'boxing, thus his pursuit of that vocation. Clapham has been meeting all comers and giving a dollar for every minute over ten to those who could stay with hlra that length of time, so there is a treat in store when the scrappy Italian meets the English champion, June 11th. There will be some good local boxing preliminaries and on the whole the Fernie Athletic Club's show that night will bo well worth seeing.

The bald facts of the case are, briefly: The trustees want to build a new school and for this purpose want $20,000.

Just why they did this they did not state, and we, as ji local, desire further particulars. A communication was received from President Smith with enclosure from Commissioner -McNeil informing us .lhat in asking for a finding on breasts which were less than ten feet high; -we had not gone through the proper -channels. -'How he arrived at that conclusion we fail to understand, as we endeavored, at the time of the . dispute, to settle with-the local man agement, but failed. Our contention at that time, and at all times, is tbat when the seam is less than, ten feet high, the agreement automatically ceases, and that a day wage of $3.00 should ibe paid. On-the other hand, the company wish to treat it as an abnormal iplace, which means to those affected a reduction of 30 cents a day. That, at 6 cents a meal, means five meals.

The Trade*' and Labor Assembly of Denver, Colorado, hat -withdrawn its delegate* from 4*he Chamber of Commerce. The Trades and Labor Assembly has at last recognized the tact that the Interests of the exploiters and parasites who make up the Chamber of Commerce do not barmontze witb ibe Interests of the workers. The Chamber of Commerce during the strike of the coal miners has ungloved Itt hand and shown 'beyond every question of a doubt that It 4s against organised labor and ttands solidly fpr tbat Industrial oligarchy that has uted gunmen, State militia and a 'prostituted State administration to defeat the United Mine Workers In ita effort to establish humane conditions In the coal mines of Colorado. Tho Trades and Labor Assembly, tn -withdrawing tta delegates from the Chamber ot Commerce sent the following oauttlc .letter to that body: "At a regular meeting ot iho Denver Trades and Labor Assembly hold iMay 10, a resolution was presented and unanimously adopted calling tor tbe withdrawal of our delegates from your organisation.

"Whether these infamous tactics were the results of shame, fear, ter ror; we know not. We do know, however, and rejoice in tho fact, that your efforts failed. "Notwithstanding the Bourbon-like attitude of your body, we trust that ibe thousand historic lessons which prove that liberty and injustice cannot be shot or bludgeoned out of existence, will not be last upon you.

B. C. Government: Empire'Day, May 24th, 'being oa Sunday, the satellites of capital celebrated this day on Monday, the 25itli, aided 'by their 'understrappers. Special trains were run from all the subunbs and every possible convenience -wae utilized to round-upall those simple but •honest slaves, on- whom the mineawn- ers are depending to defeat the alms of the striking-miners. The result was a pitiful sight for any retainer of the preseut order to look upon. Out of about 300 men, Asiatics comprised the great majority, while the real British were represented iby an insignificant residuum, and to mend all, the whole ,if there were any they had not the nee every prize they competed for, and having had-a year's rest since then, without ever feeling the -pinch of hunger, and -being free from any mental worry, except an occasional report that the strike twas settled, -not having to inhale the poisonous atmosphere of the mine, it was quite evident that the only way to augment the badly depleted wages of the scabs, was by (bar ring the strikers. To see these scabs competing for the money prizes, with that worried and hungry look common to the wage slave class, reminded me of a cross between a mule with a burch of carrots arranged so as to remain about throe feet ahead of him, and a dog with a cracker on the end of his tail. There was to be an old man's- race, the age limit toeing 50, but in this as well lis every other industrial centre, 50-year-old slaves are as scarce as hen's teeth; they are mostly worked to death long before they reach 50.

The cuttlnga were aent by Mr. O. Wood, Coal Creek, B. C. iMr. Newman of Mlddleaborough writes: "J am tending you a very Interesting game, which I found ln on American -paper called The Guide Pott, which you sight find worthy of publishing.

It was advertised that there were |1,Q00 ito he given away in prizes. I haive no reason to doubt the truth of this statement, for there was not one Socialist, I. W. W. or trade unionist on any ot the'committees, 'but all good Christian, respectable citizens, colliery officials and would-be officials, merchants, doctors, magistrates, etc., etc. But somehow, on looking over the program and the prizes to be awarded, there are $600 or $700 unaccounted ■for. This is nothing to 'be wondered at, when >we consider the strike and the stagnation of the coal mart, which In Itself 'preseniiB a peculiar state of affairs? viz., a horde of obedient slaves, pleading to be exploited, and a ;pack of human wolves willing to comply with their requests, which kind of hospitality cannot 'be rendered, the mine owners only being able ito profitably exploit them from one to three days .per week. As it is, those people wlio deal dlreotly with the wage worke- rr, after ho receives his pay are the first to feel the effects of these crises, and; aa the committee were composed of euch people, you could hardly -blame them if they did endow unto themselves a -part of the swag and call it "wages for superintendence," In the celebration-of Empire Day on this.pc- casion, patriotism was compelled - to take another step toward tha grave; strikers ibeing barred from entering any of the events. If /that does not Rnrarenaerremaant of paifloffamlfiaf exists' amongst the strikers, .then the 'best thing any remaining 'patriot can do for society is to leave It, and the quicker they leave It the better for all concerned.

The' most exciting event of the day was the final for the baseball game, wliich was between a team of Ja*i>s. all miners, and a team wliich was mostly composed of the collieries clerical staff. Much to the delight of the spectators, the Japs made rings around their opponents and came out winning easily by 8 points to 4. The spectators seemed very one-sided in their applause. Whenever a smart move was made by a -white man, the only encouragement came from the American consul, the committeemen and a few hangers-on. But whenever a Jap made a -pointi the spectators almost all of whom were Japs, Chinese, Indians and a few negroes (while with a 'few exceptions all the white men were in the enclosure, acting on some committee or other) would yeM, roar, throw their hats in the air and act like somebody mad. Probably It was consoling to them to see the Jap coal pushers whip the British pen pushers. During the excitement, one of the white 'players discovered some strikers' children applauding the Japs. This was more than this, mental eunuch could stand. He began to insinuate about having nothing to do ibut oat and sleep and $4 a week. The consul seemed to be relieved some by the incident as he-began to applaud these Wrlle remarks and encourage them by referring to the officials of the local Union. However, nothing came of this Intimidation, and as the game closed with the Japs winners; black In the face and frothing at the mouth, expressing repwr^nrstai~ittnit'sweaTni^-he—o$r gan to hustle and bustle around like a fly in a -pop bottle. Apparently it -was not intended that the Japs should walk away with this prize, which twas $75. •Phey were to be given $25 for the beat wrestler among them. However, it was not too late to mend; the wreetllng match had not come off, aad eirange to say, It never did come'off.
