Vancouver are now being manufactured under conditions that are favorable to the "organized labor movement. \ The Christie & Stump Shoe Co have made an application for the use of the Union Stamp of the Boot and Shoe Workers Union, and in the course of a few days will be placing the emblem of the union on their products; , The fact that the.Christie & Stump Co. manufacture a shoe that is particularly suited to the. needs of this climate should also appeal to the purchasing public in no.small man ner. They make a ' wonderful shoe 6t a price within the reach of all who ■ pe-raye in good values, of genuine material and first class workmanship , The carpenter, bricklayer, teamster, iron-worker, painter, or in fact (Bfly style of a shoe from a 16 ineh logger, to sturdy shoes for school oys can be obtained in the Christie '-& Stump bTand, bearing the union .label, made right here in Vancouver. The Boot & Shoe Workers are asking the support of every worker in this seotion to assist them in ■building up a real live organization by demanding shoes which are impressed with the Union Stamp. However, it may not be amiss to call attention to Jhe.fact.that there are"-busine_B"tntei'ests within the city, as in all others, who do not care a whoop about -recognizing any organization so long as they can seek and (obtaiii the patronage of trade-unionists and their families. For this reason members of the various crafts are being urged to co-operate, by placing their purchasing power in well directed channels, by demanding the Union Label each time they riake a purchase. When trade unionists in this city .make, up their minds that they are going to bring Borne employer to 'time by demanding the Union Label, card or button, they invariably succeed. And there is absolutely no reason why this kind of work should not be kept up in all crafts until such time as it is possible to obtain the Union Label or Shop Card in .every store in this city. .Argentine Socialist Party Making Progress , The Argentine Socialist Party, the champions of Socialism in South America, reports to the Secretariat of the Labor and Socialist Inteniation- J_.Lj_*ffltJ^-^ members, 18 representatives in the National Chamber, nine in the pro Vincial Chambers, and two senators. 'The Communists haYtno.representatives in Parliament. , The Socialist Press shows a re- . markabie development. The Party .edits two "daily papers and no lees than 32 weeklies, as well as a bimonthly review,. These.seem to be good auguries for the advance of the movement in the Argentine. •■ Arab workmen employed in excavation work on site of ancient Carth- kge strike for more pay. WAGES ARE REDUCED BY COMPANY "UNION" Denver.— While organized, labor battles against lower living-standards the Rockefeller company "union" pleads that wages be reduced. This policy permits the company to escape censure, and wages in the Walsen district have been cut 20 per cent by the Colorado.Fuel and iron company. Lose Jobs Through C.P.R. Control of Sts. Loggers leaving Vancouver for camps up the Coast still continue to be held up by the shunting of C.P.R. trains, at the foot of Columbia Ave., with the result that in several instances these men have missed the boat and lost their job. A few days ago some loggers leav- ing'.toTvn for a camp were held up for ten minutes by the-passage of a C. P.R. train, and as a result missed the boat and had their job cancelled by the administrator of the blacklisting emporium; What is required is',a':~Weft'T!irgif)?- ized kick, to compel the C.P.R. to erect an overhead bridge from the foot of Carrall Street to the U.'S.'ST Co.'s dock. It is difficult enough these days to secure a job without being beaten out of it through the profit-hungry proclivities of the C.P.R.—The Logger. Journalists Want to Organize Union Vahcouver's editors, reporters and other" workers hi the journalistic line of effort, are likely to become affiliated with organized labor, with the, formation of a union bf tneir—own. Discussing the campaign now being carried on by union organizers in their district, some of the writers whimsically, and somewhat wistfully asked: "What about us? Don't you fellows think we can do with some unionizing or something,",or do. you suppose newspaper men and women are oil Easy Street?" They Want to Join' Quiet enquiries by newspaper workers have included even "desk" men, and it is clear they are in earnest about being included in any movement likely to better their con- d-l'tori and -fcsure better wages. Some of the cleverest local newspaper men and women are working for wages out of all proportion to their worth. Few journalists are receiving artisan's pay. Many work overtime, without getting even a fair day's wages. It is known that the journalists of Vancouver - and Victoria are miserably underpaid, and receiving, far less than the scale paid ^a0^i^^^i^o^^^aW places. If the movement goeS into effect,-" the journalists would be graded in a wage scale. o| merit... QyalifiGflt'Ons would"' exqiude, dabblers- and« mere "Pro Bono Publico" contributiirs,-____t would ensure real rating for trained journalists of experience and proven standing. The matter is in the hands of a committee, and it remains to be seen how far it will go. If the newspaper workers are unionized, they would have the support of the Typos and other co-workers on the papers. Saturday Night Dance at Belvedere Court Once more Saturday night rolls round and you are invited to roll around to the Social and Dafice of the Vancouver Centre Group of the C.L.P. at Belvedere Court at Main and Tenth.

Refreshments will h served during the evening and another enjoyable time assured. Come along and bring a friend. Splendid Progress in Organizing Campaign The. organizing campaign of the Vancouver Trades and Labor Council is still progressing very favorably. In fact the organizers are just kept on the move all the time. Charters have been applied for on' behalf- of butchers, auto mechanics and bakers, making, a. grand total of- eleven to date. There will be a meeting for shingle weavers next Sunday afternoon at 2 j>.rri.( in the Holden Building. Teamsters will meet Monday evening. Organizing work is being carried on among blacksmiths, marine plumbers and pipefitters, retail clerks, boot -and-shoe workers, sailors and firemen, lumber workers, shingle weavers and many other ,?' crafts. A meeting of lumber work- £' The ers was held in New Westminster oiri Council of the C. L. Wednesday evening and was address* ed by organizers Bartlett, Hewitt and" Campbell. The response was very encouraging and another meeting will be held m the Labor Temple next Wednesday. . There was a meeting of Shingle Weavers in the Holden Building last Sunday which was addressed by organizers McDonald, Bruce, Bond and Bartlett. There was a good response to the call and another meeting has been called for next Sunday at 2 p.m. .., ■ The Hotel and Restaurant Employees' Union are conducting an intensive campaign and Tneetings will be held in their hall at 441 Seymour St. on Friday afternoon and evening. Many new members are joining up in other unions, and, generally speaking, the campaign is bringing splendid results. The Plasterers' Laborers' Union has made application for affiliation with the Trades Council., - There is still a great deal of ,work to be done and the organizing committee, can always be found in the Holden Building to give out or receive information on the organizing campaign. WINNERS OF C.L.P. WHIST DRIVE IN ROYAL CITY Mrs. Porter and Mrs. H. D. Brown, Wm. Sandry and W. E. Brown were the prize winners at a whist "drive of the Labor Party held in the Labor Temple, New Westminster, on Friday, 27th. Gladys Bassett, 526 18th St. was winner of the handmade Linen Luncheon Set donated by' Mrs. David B. McCormack. Employers Get Away With Hard Luck Story We wonder how many employees have listened to a hard luck story of the boss and accepted about half the regular wages. We know of one particular case and have been in formed of others. The management of the Maple Leaf Theatre has been getting away with this "hard luck" story for the past eighteen months and Ti4s piled up such a wage deficit that the employees could purchase the .place for the amount. Workers that stand.for this gaff without get-, ting something more tangible than a promise to pay should be changing places with some inmate in Essondale, or else should take the earliest opportunity to.makettie boss sign over the business or pay up. »C SALE NOW ON, OWL DRUG.

Council Prepares for Federal Election Greater Vancouver Central P. will hold a nominating convention on Sunday, May 31st, for the .purpose of nominating * „idates to contest the Federa. seats in this district. Thi action was decided upon at the first annual meeting of the the organization held in the Holden Building last Tuesday evening. The call is made at this time so that every organization will have plenty of time to consider the question , and place in nomination the best qualified candidates. ' - A "committee was appointed to approach the City Council to ask to be, permitted to hold a tag day in aid of the locked-out miners of Cape Breton. , ~ . The sentence against Geo. Hardy and Len. Edge was rescinded at the request of the Carpenters Union, ahd a vote of condemnation for .their actions endorsed. A few changes were made in the constitution and officers elected for the ensuing term. The officers are: Chairman, Fred Hoover; vice, Mrs. F. Dolk; financial secretary, William Dunn; executive, Jlaclnnis, Rankin, Flynn and E. Burns; miners' tag day committee were, Deptford, Flynn and -Page; ■.**■•*••■ *?&30??*^^^ - An organizing committee was ejected consisting of the following; C. McDonald, J. L. Martin, Gracy, Maclnnis, Dunn and A. McDonald. figjagk -Bruce'addressed the meeting and'saidtHat he was'pleased to note that the Council were going to make' an early start in the Federal campaign. He felt certain that the attitude of the British Labor Party of giving the workers a chance to get thoroughly acquainted with the candidate- and the candidate with the workers was worth following. The time is now opportune to get recruits and there is a great deal of work to be done because the sentiment is in Sailors and Fffemen Have Organization (By J. W. BRUCE) Through the mistakes of the past we see clearer the needs of the future, and in the organized Labor Movement, this lesson has been' clearly demonstrated in the disasters of the last few years. ...' ' " The' abuse* of the International Movement, and its administrators was the chief topic for condemnation, but out of it all now comes the clear clarion cry "Back to the International Labor Movement and make it the mighty power it should be." All ranks of the workers are not nermeated with this feeling, and the ■test addition to our ranks is the Jfational Sailors aiid Firemen's Union of Canada, who arc a unit of the International Seamen's Union Of America. .'» The accomplishments of this or-— ganization stand out very much in' comparison to any other, and the conditions they have been able to establish are, such that every man from the stoke-hole to the foc'sle head should be proyd to carry a card in this organization. Being'a part of the International the,y are in affiliation with the seamen all over the world with its privilege of recognition and right of transfer of cards. It was through the efforts of this, organization—that the wages were raised from $25.00 per month and ship-owners compelled to recognize the fact that a" seaman" was" entitled, to overtime, better foc'sles,' clean; sanitary bedding, and higher Hying standards when he signed on. They also obtained the right of one day off a week in the coast trade; they therefore can stand on their record for the benefits they have obtained in the past for all seafarers, and can bring new hope and inspiration' for the future. So with an International Organzition of Seamen and Firemen there can be no logical reason why men shipping out of this port should not accept the responsi- Wity of being on the inside, and we look to them for, co-operation and support. - ;r ~:T—' .'; With the united front, the seamen of this coast can 'look confidently into-the future, that there is an organization existing ready and willing to protect their interests. The office is established at 305 Cambie Street, and. with a Business Agent,. Bro. Griffiths, in charge, all of the needs of the Seamen and Firemen will be attended to. And so we have another rung in our ladder of building up the Labor Movement oh this coast. ■ Hopes for 25 Labor Members Labor hopes to have^, 25 members in thernext CaTiadiah»-ho;|_se oFc-.itP ■-=• mons.; This forecast is made by J., S. Woodsworth, Labor member for Winnipeg. A Dominion election is expected during the year, and the new house' will have 245. members, ' an increase of ten: our favor just as it is still in favor of the Labor.Party in the Old Country, judging from recenjt election results. It is regrettable to see the inactivity of the Ottawa government, he said, and Labor should put forth all its efforts to send some more help to- Woodsworth and Irvine, who have done a tremendous amount of work- at Ottawa. ... ___f. 11 THE LABOR STATESMAN April. 3rd, 1925 I I Mt.

Give a man leave to spend, and he will widen his spending. He can not stand up and spend on air; he must spend with some one who lives by selling or by making; consequently, business profits by every extension of wages and of leisure.—Australian Worker. I.would read td the House two or three paragraphs from that very thought-provoking book of Mr. J. M. Keynes, Monetary Reform: "But the war-has affected a great change; Gold, itself has become,a, 'standard' "currency. Ttfe West as well as the East, has learnt to hoard gold, but the motives of the United States are not those of India. Now the gold standard, the supply of the metal would, if the chief user of it that, most countries have abandoned restricted its.- holdings -to its real needs, prove largely redundant. The United States has not been able to let gold fall to its "natural" value, because it could not face the resulting depreciation of its standard. It has been .driven, therefore,- to the costly policy of burying in the vaults of Washington -What the miners of the Rand have laboriously brought to the surface. Consequently, gold how stands at an "artificial" "value, the future course of which almost entirely depends on the policy of the Feet eral Reserve Board of the United States. ..***■ If the Federal Reserve Board intends to maintain the value of the dollar at a level which is irrespective of the inflow or outflow of gold, what object is there in continuing to accept at the mints gold which is not wanted, yet costs a heavy price? If the U-iited States mints were to be closed to gold, everything; except the actual price of the metal, could continue precisely as before. ^ We. have no read_y>toad«"'s<!_ri-(_aW_- Experience has shown that in emergencies ministers of finance cannot be strapped, down. And—most important of all—in the modern world of paper currency and bank credit there is no escape from a ''managed" currency, whether we wish it or not; convertab-lity into gold will'not alter the fact that the value of gold itself depends on the policy .of the central tanks." ' - - - * ',» * One of Mr. Keynes's critics, Pro. fessor Gustav Cassel, in a paper read to the Institute of Bankers in London on June 11, 1924, makes certain far-reaching admission's. He says: "The gold standard can no longer be regarded as an absolutely objective standard 'outside every political discussion. The present value of gold is very much dependent upon the purchasing power of the dollar, and this can by no means be said to be fixed objectively by the value of gold. Come in and Look Over Our Specials We Can Save You Money It is easy to see that the" United States, by slightly altering their monetary policy, could keep their I all other things general level of prices somewhat I terms of money lysis, brought about by say.'the'oper- atio'n of the street railways, we are driven to call in. a scientist and try to get below the apparent difficulty in order to find out what the basic trouble really is. In other words, we must have some theory upon which to work. . '" .. ...., I beg leave tb give the quantitative theory as stated very, concisely by Professor Taussig in his Principles of Economics: "Double the quantity of money, and, other things being equal, prices will be twice 'as high as before and the value of money one-half. Halve the quantity, of money, and, other things being equal, prices wjll be one- half of what they were before and the value of money double." , I do not profess,to be a profound economist, Mr. Speaker; I must go to the' economists for their statements of these scientific facts; but if it is true that the quantity of money has a very.decided effect on the value or purchasing power of any particular piece of money, then I say it is fundamental that someone should control the quantity,of money. How is that regulated to-day? Well, with regard to gold, it depends Iar*ly upon the production of the gold mines. If we discover a.-new gold mine, or invent some improved methods of production, gold is produced in larger quantities. That is when gold was the standard, the quantity .v___._iej.en.Jnnt upon natural resources and upon labor. In the" case of paper money, the quantity is not de, pendent upon labour or upon natural resources, it is entirely dependent upon the printing press, as we saw in Europe during the war. This is under the control of the government. The banks may actually issue all bills over the one ahd two dollar denominations, but at least the maximum amount of issue is controlled by the government itself. But what about this third kind>of money? And this shows the importance of laying our foundations correctly. • ft the third kind of money which I mentioned a few minutes ago, that is, credit instruments, subject to the same law of money? Some of the economists say that it is. If that is so the results are very far reaching. The issue of credit instruments is dependent upon the banks alone. They have a practical monopoly of the control of credit. Then we have arrived at this position. Those who control the quantity of money in circulation, whether of gold, bank notes or credit, control the value of all other things, since are measured in Need I illustrate Main St. South of 18th rich .as a consequence of inflation or deflation, and gets rich as a parasite, off of other people. It is not his fault. You cannot help being a profiteer, when prices are rising, if you happen to be Iri the position of a profit taker, because the profits just fall into your lap. Of course, you may be more extortionate than other people but you may do that when prices are falling. Your nature has not changed simply because prices are rising, but your opportunity has changed. And when prices are fal ling, in the same way the bondholder gets an advantage, but it is not his or her fault; he is simply reaping what has been sown; In the unstable dollar." And again: "The evil then is one of social injustice, of picking "We pockets of some people, to the benefit of other people. It is the same kind of economic evil as robbery is, and in appearing before a congressional committee, which is considering this same subject in Washington, and has a bill before it to stabilize the dollar in accordance with a particular plan that I have in my book, which your chairman has referred to, Professor King of the National Council of Economic International Research, who appeared in favour of that bill, said he had made, a rough estimate of the actual amount of wealth which- had:~Eeen Tin justly transferred through the change ih the purchasing power of the dollar during the last few years, namely the war and the after-ivar period,, and he beljeved that it was not less by any calculation that he could make, than forty billion dollars in the United States. Then he said, if there had been a forty billion dollar robbery, which would have amounted to the same thing, the people of the United States would have been considerably excited, over it, but this picking, of the,jK.-kets has been so slyly done that all that the person'who has lost can see is that in a vague way he Can identify the class that has got what he has lost, and he naturally accuses that class of havTnglhtended to steal it, whereas as a matter of fact it is an inanimate object, the dollar, or the,price level, which has done the stealing."

In other words, there is no objective necessity in the present level of prices in the .United States and neither, therefore, in the present value of gold." Now, if money is the measure- of all other commodities, what .determines the value or, better, the purchasing power of money itself ?■ What determines the purchasing power of any particular coin such as the dollar? We tried to get some statement Vin this matter- from Sir'Frederick Williams-Taylor, during the inquiry before thp*Biih_ri_ig-.M Commerce committee-two years ago. Sir Fred1-. crick did not appear to have any scientific or economic knowledge of the money situation; in fact, he himself said that he was simply a prac tical banker.

That was in, 1923. As to the evil influences of inflation and deflation, I cannot do better than quote from the evidence giyen by Sir. Irving Fisher before the Banking and Commerce committee two years ago.

Greater interest is being shown than has been the case for considerable time. The unemployed situation remains about the same, a backward Spring holding ' up outside construction work being responsible for a certain amount of delay. As one brother aptly put it "the work don't start up till about June and finishes about July.": The Stationary men are making a special drive- to get engineers working on plants that stress their fairness to organized labor, to join up in, the local of their craft.

"''"'--'- -- CORRESPONDENCE South Vancouver. Editor, Labor Statesman: *,'..-. " ''Sir: Having attended the meeting of the So. Van. Labor Group of the C.L.P. which was visited by Cpm: rades A.- Mclrtnes and F. Brown, M.L.A., and also read the-Statesman's report thereon I am prompted to $rite re the subject. Possibly like some others, I joined said group without considering its constitutionality, merely, having in mind the all-essential feature, the necessity of So/Van. workers being organized politically. We had the name "So. Van. Labor Party". After a time we are advised from the Vancouver Central Council. that wc should < adopt the name "Sq. Van. group of the C.L.P." This we did. But apparently we are not right yet. However, let it be understood, the So. Van. group of the C.L.P. have functioned splendidly since its inception. The words, unity and harmony are hot merely prattled; the group,having practised comradeship and co-operation. Our business meetings as well as our so 'sials have, been enjoyable throughout. Our varied opinions have been free from the acrimony and personal animus characterizing so" many Labor meetings in the past. It may be stated, "Ah, well, you are young yet," to which I wpuld reply: Pro- viding we are as class conscious as we would have others think we are, there is no reason why our present good feeling cannot Continue indefin itely. Now re our name: I cannot see why there isn't room enough for all workers in one political party. Vfe recognize that the names Con servative, Liberal, Progressive, etc., is just so much subterfuge or camou flage when there is any* danger of said parties having the solid opposition of the workers: In view bf the ^ts-.aft^jHfcpresen^^^wlyesHJ' cahript iook back upon our history without regret The workers' have undoubtedly been kept back by the abuse and spleen so freely administered by leaders self appointed and otherwise.

I maintain if any of our speakers qr propagandists on th'e'fob'%r anywhere else, continue to carry on the campaign of slam- JtliDg- one another they are void of the first principles of class consciousness. . ■ We may have a Federal election this year. We surely will agree that putting out the King Government and replacing it by the Meighen Bob Rogers Clan will avail naught. We surely ought to agree that there is no room for more than one working class representative. where there is ot\e to . be elected. No matter what happens, it should be our slogan, "The nominee, of the workers in any riding is my_nominee, and' there is no room for duplication." z Surely we will agree that forty men could both make their presence felt, and carry on propaganda to better advantage than just two as we have at present in Ottawa. And why not more than forty if we quit acting like spoiled kids. Just imagine three or four men working hard in the shop or factory to get the workers into a political party; one has a C. • L. P. card, another an F. L. P. card, and the. others have Workers Party, S.P. of C.,..or perhaps I.W.-W. The shop orrfactory gradually becomes a debating centre. With each propagandist featuring it is --"little-wonder the party ap- the weakness of the other's party; proached sometimes opines the whole darned lot must be rotten. Surely we have wasted sufficient time thus. Surely we are not going to spend many meeting nights sewing seeds of- disintegration where harmony prevails. So, Van.

Vancouver, B.C., April 3rd, 1925 OVERCROWDED We want to apologize to our supporters for crowding this paper with advertising matter. Just as s6on as it is financially possible to'do so, however, we will increase the size of the paper. Although we are overcrowded with advertising matter we are not yet in a position to get enough to cover the cost of more pages.'. -When the - business 'of the merchant picks up, we have been assured of more support from them, so we ask our many readers to bear with us,till we are assured of being able to cover the cost of the increased size of the paper which we hope to have in' a very short time. In the meantime, however, we urge our readers to use their*purchasing power in the interest of The Lahor Statesman and those merchants, who support it.—W. "THE PROVINCE" :--•-'•'•---'" r: GOES TO SCHOOL The Vancouver Daily Province has _a_pficuliar-idea^s-hrwhar^diistftutes 'fclass-consciousness." In an editorial on the subject it says: "Those who want workingmen to become class- conscious apparently desire them to adopt an attitude of antagonism towards other "classes" and cultivate an unhappy frame of mind sometimes found in persons who have recently acquired wealth or position, and are therefore apt to take themselves and their acquisitions too seriously." ' It then takes an hypothetical case of. Eobiiison and Smith, neighbors, who are opposites in their avocations, politics, religion, etc., but who have much in common, such as living on the .sariie street, their children attending the same school, and so on. All of which is so much nonsense. Class consciousness arises out of class antagonisms engendered by the system of exploitation under iVhich we live. It, and the class hatreds that sometimes gp with it, ' are :. but the manifestations of discontent arising out'of' this exploitation. As for living on the samei street, or ,even in the same neighborhood, it shows that the Province has in mind various classes," which is both unsound and unscientific. Another thing, it does not do to substitute individuals for classes in drawing an analogy. There are many individuals bereft of all worldly possessions' whose minds continually revert to what they might have had; and there are others whose thought for the downtrodden would prevent theni from holding position or power. But with classes it is different. Miners, longshoremen, railroad and factory workers, wht> experience long' and bitter conflicts to maintain decent standards of living, "^•^ojW'ifl^^cSnM^^ cryatakzes into "class-action.''' The entrance into the political field of these workers istt.means of help.not only, to themseRres, but is an in structive education to other workers less fortunate in their organizations peculiar to their trade. What the Province has in mind is not class consciousness, but a sort of- social consciousness with its various kinds of snobs and grades of superiority without any regard to the economic background. With this,- and the petty hatreds arising therefrom, we agree that it is stupid. But the hatreds arising from the class struggle are apt to be magnified. All students of sociology know that to waste time trying to overthrow the system by slander and vilification is to accomplish nothing. One might just as. well howl the old slogan, "Hang the Kaiser." S.. THE STRUGGLE IN BESCO Persons of all ranks of life arc taking sides with the crushed miners Of Cape Breton. Practically all preachers in the district are lending their moral support- to the miners. Newspapers of all shades of opinion are supporting the miners in their desperate struggle. One Ottawa daily that does not see eye to eye with organized labor has donated one thousand dollars. The situation has been threshed out in the House of Commons, but while there is a great deal of criticism of the actions of the British Empire Steel Corporation, there- is not very much being done to force the company to change its ..metb.ojf|a:iof-.running the industry which the miners claim is amateurish. Unfortunately the situation in Cape Breton is symptomatic of a widespread Canadian condition. It is the outcome of the alliance of plutocratic finance with "sucker" politics. The same alliance has bewitched a lot of other Canadian industries. Only it happens that the situation in Cape Breton has come to a head sooner than elsewhere. * Years ago the No.va -S,CQ_tiq-.SQal fields were selling 1,500,000 tons per annara^ ^ewV'Unglali'di' -'TtliHa'me' the Canadian financiers seeking control, and making promises a la the Fathers-of-Confederation TvReiTthey^ duped the Maritime Provinces. These financiers promised a great market for coal in Canada. Last year Nova Scotia sold to Canada 1,500,000— only what-she sold to New England about 35 years ago.' These financiers made promises they-did not fulfil. Of them Sir William Van Home, being on. the witness stand himself, said he would not believe them under oath. These financiers organized the Dominion Steel and Iron Company, and drew up a contract obliging the Dominion Coat Company to furnish ihe steel company with coal at less than cost. The mines and miners were exploited to help a steel enterprise. .;;'••, . Eventually the Dominion Coal Co. god rid of this contract, and for years it paid its men" on the basis of the market price, of coal andyiad no trouble at all. Just after the war came Col. Mprs- den, an Englishman whose methods of making a fortune during the war created a commotion, though the Government investigation came ,to naught, he.jastheJBritish labor-press declared, being allied with powerful English interests. Anyway, he came to Canada with a great plan to amalgamate the Dominion Coal Co., Dominion Steel Co., Nova Scotia Steel & Coal Co., Maritime Nail Works, Halifax Shipyards, and other concerns. Great' expansion was promised; huge sales in' Britain and Germany.— j. .-"■• . So the British Empire Steel Corporation wks organized with a paper capitalization vastly in excess of thp aggregate of the combined companies' and a galpabhyittempt ,yras., mj^eJ-Q., J;ttdsfe.,BJ«?kWi "make* the" coal mines to tfarry the p*-"" '"■*•*'""" ' Capital, burden .of the other enterprises, which, as in the case Of the Steel Company was soon working short time', and,.as- jn the case of the Halifax Shipyarti_| Ltd., nearly closed down, except for its dry dock; work. , ' Ever since the miners have been -protesting, believing the object of Besco is to make the mining industry to ,do. . Anyway Besco's promised T markets or steel, plant improvements have never materialized, and as Canada does not take much Nova Scotia coal,' the condition of the miners has rapidly deteriorated. It must be admitted that Nova Scotia politicians were' complacent instruments. ■. Everything points out that the lives of these miners is the hell of a joyless grind, which some people ignorantly mistake and accept as life. Our sympathy goes out to those starving families in ■ Cape Breton. They have, according to reports, been unable to,, get a living, and, mind you, we are of the opinion that to -"get a living"—just a living—with wages just sufficient for the work- . strained body to liye on meagrely, and cheap, and still be contented, is like' going to sleep in hell. It is common logic that a starving.man is a dangerous man, provided he has any strength of character at all. They would seem to be dumb with disappointment ahd despair, and we w'ould urge a permanent settlement now, for they will be suffocated into prideless- humility if this chance "to get their rights is overlooked. . Such conditions as these do eventually lead to a revolt that may become nationwide. Who is to blame for such conditions but those whose financial powers make them ride rough-shod over the very forms of their tired and starved slaves. The cry for bread has raised the red banner of revolt before, and it will do so again. No man, woman or child should be allowed to suffer in -the midst of such* an abundance'o? J.ltjgal,tb.._as .is, accumulated in the Dominion of Canada. There is plenty for all. There can be work for all, huLso long as the private ownership of these things remain in the hands of a few, conditions which now confront the miners and their families in Cape Breton will be ever present in other and all parts of the Dominion.—W. WORTH LOOKING INTO The National Securities, Ltd., are offerings a good investment to the worker who has a little spare cash at the present time. This is one of the very best investments we know of and the personnel of the. directors practically guarantees the safety of the-investment. As a paying proposition, it will undoubtedly stand out prominently among many stocks, because the needs Of such a pleasure resort for the city and the continued growth of the city . will assure- the payment of dividends almost from the-'start and will increase with its popularity.

Moss.) \h m -get a Fox Working'for YouJi There's Big Money in This! s, • (1) Many working men have goats in their back yard, and they find it pays, because goats give milk and don't cost much to keep. But there's real money in a fox. If you don't believe it, ask all the owners of. foxes bought from the Canadian Blue Fox Co., Ltd., Rogers Building. With a small investment, the owner of a fox can clean up a lot of-money. A pair of foxes, it is proved, make a fortune for their owners in time, when they .multiply. The Canadian Blue Fox Company has a \vell -worked out plan by which the company's farm takes care of the foxes, which may be bought on easy ternis-. An instance of the system and its opportunities may be seen jn the following: A farm affiliated With the Cana- ■ dian Blue Fox Farms established a farm on Matia Island, San. Juan County, in 1923. These foxes produced about 100 pairs of offspring in 1924 with a retail value of $500 per pair, or $60,000. The only, expense in raising these consisted of the wages of two men, $1800; their food, about- $500 and fox food, about $1000, a total of $3,300. This farm is located only fifty miles from Vancouver. The company says: "We provide absolute safety of your investment by guaranteeing to replace the foxes you buy in the event of loss by death or any cause whatever. This guarantee is backed by assets worth more than a hundred thousand dollars." How much does a fox cost? What terms of payment are allowed? visit 47 Hastings St., W,, and pick up one of these snaps. Remember, here are BIG BARGAINS:in everything kept in a well stocked jewelry and watchmaking store." This place also turns out First Class Watch Repairing.

(2) An arrayof bargains in jewelry, watches, glassware, rings, gems and other articles is attracting attention at 47 Hastings Street, West, where THE REGINA WATCH CO., LTD., is putting on a remarkable bargain sale. If you will compare the prices and values here, you will see things going for one-half their usual prices. The Regina Watch Co., Ltd., is now selling jewelry, etei^at- prices that seem amazing, and one wonders how it can be done. The store is overt StocKedj! and needsrcjtttty. moneyfcSo is making a s^reepihg sale of everything, prior fo re-BtocJsteg. ,and! getting in new supplies. Herb you-eatt' get watches worth $20 for as low as $11; Tvrist watches, selling elsewhere for $12 are on sale at the Regina Watch Co. for $5 and $6. Other articles are equally cheap. But, although these prices are very low and form one of .the most sensational bargain sales in town, tho values are of the best, and it is really doubtful if any store iri Vancouver today offers anything to equal these, great bargains. This bargain sale will not last long, so now is a good time to Columbia Theatre Stages New Vaudeville Acts and Changes (3) Competition is a good thing for the people sometimes, for it puts producers on their mettle in giving the best in an effort to attract more business. A local vaudeville house boosted a new programme policy with a bigger bill. The Columbia responded With adding a number of variety ieatuzes-to'iiS goo^mic^af films,and' throwing in its weekly country store's prizes for good measure.. The Columbia is really putting on a programme of merit these days, and the playgoers are getting a lot for their money. Besides drama with screen stars and news films, comedy and other pictures ,the audience is entertained with half a dozen variety acts by clever young performers. These include dancing girls, comedians, a sketch and other things to fill in. Some of' the performers are good enough for any stage on the circuit and turn out some remarkably .clever stunts. As a bright house of entertainment, fpr the people, -with plenty of pep and charm, the Columbia gives about the biggest 25 cents' worth of amusement to be found on the coast. It can't be beaten at the price. The orchestra of this place is also worth a good word. How many acts of films arid vaudeville are presented .at the Columbia? When is Country Store night? courteous.

(4) .In our ranks of organized labor there are hundreds of workers who are trying to be 100 per cent, efficient with 45 per cent, vision.

Hermetic Fellowship Invites You to Its Course of Free Lectures (7) Although his penetrative ■learning and comprehension of the more profound aspects of philosophy and metaphysics is, to say the least of it, extraordinary, the teachings of Dr. John Craven;' the Director of the Hermetic Fellowship, is simplicity itself. The syllabus of his course of lectures to be given at the Summer School, of the Fellowship at 817 Granville Street should be of peculiar interest to those to whom the problems of life-are concrete andrcal. The winter course of lectures, which ended in March, embraced such subjects as: Ancient and Modern Theistic Conceptions, World Ethics, tlje Cosmic Self and Consciousness, Birth and Becoming, Phrenic and Poetic Concepts, Cognition and Precognition, Existence and Pre-exist- ence, the Law of Limitations, Dimensional Formations, the Divinity of tlie Human Monad, the Anima Mundi, the Manifest and the Unmanifest, with other subject.^ These subjects may seem bewildering to the plainer mind of the unlettered layman,'but-Dt Craven is gifted with the force ahd power of impartjnjr ,, seemingly,.^ insgmtabJs truths !$o^is"Hwrersrwith--conviction and realization. Attendance at his lectijigs axe. not .only, educational,, but inspirational and elevating. One" unconsciously leaves the echoes of Dr. Craven's voice, with newer ideas entwining mind and mattere;., ' ....... These are lectures that should be of incalculable value to working folk of both sexes, in addition to the most learned in the land. They bring mentality to a higher plane of thought, The Course of Lectures is open to the public and there is no charge. What is the phone number?

Soon to Be Harry Duker, Ltd.; Billboard Magnate Makes Change (8) For years, Vancouvcr's-bill- 1 loan Is have been associated with ihe name of Duker & Shaw, and every time you'd see a big sign along the roadway," thS" name Dulior & Shaw would come to your hiind with the message of the billboard. That's one feature about" having a name that stays in the public's mouth and mind all the while. But a change is coming, and the name "Shaw" will be dropped. It will be remembered that Sir. Shaw died some time ago, but the name was retained out of respect and-~for—convenience until now Mfc -Duker thinks it expedient to simplify things and shorten the firm name. But it won't make much difference., because nearly everybody knows Harry Duker. Mr. Duker, who is a progressive young man in his early thirties, is regarded as one of Vancouver's most galvanic human wires. Before he settled down to this serious things of life, he was a far-famed base ball player, and still wields a wicked bat and ball. Then he went into business, and has made a good job of-it* He believes to sticking to one thing, SOa he stuck to billboards as fast as ln's own billboard paste sticks. That is why he is so successful. Another reason is his personal charm, his uniform and unfailing courtesy, arid his cheerful- adaption to all circumstances and acquaintances. Harry Duker isifcctive in civic affairs and has held many offices in the Board of Trade and other organizations, and is prominent in fraternal and benevolent - circles. He has—twice been suggested for .aldermanic honors. The firm employs about 25 workers, including sign writers and painters. They hit the point when they describe their boss as a "good scout," and that leaves little more to be said about Harry Duker. —When was Duker-Shaw established? What is the address? ngs Street West.

At the Orpheum this week they promise to set a new pace for speed and harmony in their original act with the "peripatetic piano". This is the first vaudeville appearance of -fhe, trio, and they5' are proving an immense hit. The three Giersdorf Sisters, Irene, Elvira and Rae, who appear accompanied by their' own jazz T>and| are one of the smartest musical acts in vaudeville today. They will be remembered from last season, when they played the circuit with Renee Robert, the Indian dancer. —The—popular - phonograph artist, Elsie Clark, singing comedienne, is known in hundreds of thousands of homes. Her specialty is the type of song commonly called "Blues", Nelson Story, an accomplished pianist, is with Miss Clark this season. "Bert Yorks and Ed. Lord describe, themselves as "Two Gentlemen Nevertheless'. They present a travesty on gentility or rather on the fine feathers that are so frequently misconstrued as gentility. They are clever..conjedians. In their- new, JJeaTltifuliy scenic act, "Georgia". Maude Powers and Verntih Wallace are a big feature on this week's bill. This new sketch is announced as a sequel to "Georgia on. Broadway," in which they appeiuced last season^ Another-high spot of- comedy"on this.bill will be Bronson and Edwards who present "Nonsensical Absurdi ties," which is fun. fast and furious all the way thru.

"She's In Again," is the title of a funny Aesop's Fable, Topics of the Day and the Orpheum Concert Orchestra completes a bill that is full of zest and well above the average. Z'r? Unions Victorious In St. Louis Open Shop Fight By Martin A. Dillmon St. Louis, Mo.-^-When the nationwide drive was launched for the fake "open shop," having as its goal the destruction of -the American labor movement, St. Louis was one of the big war fronts, the scene of bitter fighting and heavy losses for the "open shoppers." Though backed by an abundance of money, men and publicity, the "open shop" .drive in St.'Louis fell flatly. Seemingly the harder the unions were fought the more rapidly they forged ahead. Building Trades Gain The building trades came put of the skirmish with some of the best wage scales in the country. The union fighters declared that wages must go -higher, and they did, St, Louis scales range from $1.37i^ an hour for painters to $1.75 an hour for plasterers and other crafts. Since the "open shop" drive, the painters have purchased their own home, a modernly equipped labor temple own- J?.d._§olely.-.bE..-1,800 union-painters; The carpenters have followed by purchasing a site for their own home. Plans are being drawn for an up-to- date structure and erection will begin shortly. This craft numbers approximately 2,400 here. Street Car Men Gain A well organized drive to dispose of the street car men's union also failed, as a result of which these workers now proudly exhibit a 100 per cent union. All employes, from track men to motormen and "conductors, are union men. This is the largest ■ union in,'.the- state; having about'6,100-members. Firelighters and Bank Clerks The firefighters are thoroughly unionized and take an active part yi union activity. Yes, and St. Louis enjoys the distinction of having*" a bank clerks' union, which is represented by delegates in the central body. . • / Workers Support Labor Bank Mention must be made of a strictly union institution of which "all St. Louis labor is justly proud—The ■Telegraphers' National Bank, a labor bank in the strictest sense of that term. The bank opened June 9, 1923, and deposits totaled $1,316,483.41" the first day of business. Subsequent reports showed: December 31, 1923, $3,069,177.08; December-^31, 1924, $4,248,406.31; February 28, 1925, $4,974,209.76... There were corresponding increases of the bank's business in other lines of banking, due to the readiness with which St. Louis labor has realized the advantage of patronizing itself; • The bank's employes, everylone, are members of organized labor. All of the bank's supplies, check books; deposit books', etc., bear the union label. Yellow Cab Drivers Organize . Yellow Cabs now operate as a union shop. For 23 months the local Yellow Cab Companyrfoughtr bitterly for the "open shop", and it is stated on good authority that $600,000 was spent to defeat the union. Nevertheless, he who drives a St. Louis Yellow Cab today must carry a union card. -'.■' '.-.•. Culinary Workers Repelled Attack . The culinary workers repelled the black army of union wreckers, jnd this union still is doing' business at the same old stand, but with a much larger mentbersjiip-thfafcft-;had; her' fore the bosses picked a fight... These trades unionists, women and young girls, deserved the victory they won The aggressw^Mianner in which that ' strike was-conducted drew compliments from seasoned veterans of the labor struggle. Injunctions and wholesale arrests of pickets were.the order of business. The courage and absolute fearlessness with which many.. of these girls went to police station stalls in defense of their cause deserves more than passing mention.

But while the" other "Allies took their, spoils of war agreed upon, poor Russia, which gave more blood and agony and tears than France, Britain and America combined, received not the long-coveted Dardanelles, but rather the curses and slander and blockade and war from the very powers her effortshad jsaved from defeat by the horrible Hun. Russia's unpardonable crime was the Revolution. Through torture endured, her slaves had awakened, and had thrown their spurred riders off their backs,' and today the fate of the rulers of Russia is haunting every government on earth. Ten million Russians were mobilized, yet she possessed not arms for half that number, while Britain had 150 munition works to.Russia's one. In Nelson's "Histroy of the War," we read that millions of men were flung into the field, armed with clubs, ahd bombs, and cquld^pnjy^fish^jf, seizing guns from "their fallen com- rades. Britain, and the Allies prom ised to supply Russia with equipment, but failed to do so. When, however, the millions of starving troops began to desert, tHen the - vials of wrath were poured out on the Czar,, and his "Tools of Germany" like Trotsky, and Lenine, had sold out to the enemy, according tb the "kept press." By Christmas, 1916, two million men had desertetL their cry was "Bread,-and peace", while tens -of thousands perished in their, retreat homeward. The Red Spectre 'of Revolution Petrpgrad was the scene of the first uprising. Red banners appeared, and on them {he words "Down with the government, long live the Republic." On" January 27th, 1917, the 'Imperial government asked. Germany for terms of peace, but was refused. On March 8th, women broke into food stores, great crowds gathered, and blood began to -fldw. On March lOcn, something happened which shook the Imperial world. The police fired on the workers, then for the first time in history, the Cossacks took the side of the rebels, and fired on the polioe. Is there any wonder that from this time on, Russia received hati'ed, and warfare, and slander from the world's plutocracies? Compared with her the Huns were shining lights of law, and morality. For here was the common enemy of law, and order, of religion, and civilization, lifting its hideous head and winning to its side the Cossack dogs of war, on which j—serial Russia had depended so 1 .g. Oh March 11th, great crowds "witefed bafiners," sang revolutionary songs, and the;police,agairtfirad oh the crowd, but inside pf 24.hours, several other great regimehta„weht over to the rebels, and the great fortresses of Peter and Paul were captured. .;'' — .- ' -■■ ■-■ '•--■■ -'-•-...■—■r** ...Off March 13th, under order of the Bolshevik!, the Soviets arrested all members of the Czar's government.

(Established 19 Tears) THE IRON HEEL (Continued from Page 7) the Social patriot, was premier of the next two. The Bolsheviks were holding mass meetings in all cities, and in the Moscow municipal elections, they swept the polls. On October 20th, while Kerensky was holding his council, Trotsky, with his supporters, strode into the hall. He denounced the government, as traitors, and told-the members to "run away home, and save their skins," but as late as the 5th; of November, Kerensky believed that the army would support him. The next day the Bolshevists struck, and Kerensky's support crumbled. Within, a few hours, he was in flight. The same process which brought the change in Russia, is today taking place in other lands. The same indiffereht't'r^OTeltyf^ncfTo^ ruption pervade the heartrand brain of the privileged classes, regarding the condition of their subjects as existed in the brain, and heart of the Imperial rulers of Russia, while the same spirit of revolt is growing in all countries.
