NO. 276 STATE INSURANCE fi y Commission on tabor Make; Recommendations HALF HOLIDAY FOR STORE EMPLOYES Fortnightly Payday—IV|unici- pal Labor Bureaus--Aboli tion of Time Checks, DIGGING AWAY BLANKET OF SNOW (Special to Tf.o Dally N<-w.*U VICTORIA, 11. C„ March 3.—The j establishment of a system of compulsory state insurance for Workmen sustaining Injuries, a weekly half holiday for shop employes, the inauguration of a fortnightly pay dgflv-aiid- the regulating of Bub-contracte on railway construction work, with the control of time checks, arc the important recommendations of the royal commission- . oil. labor,-whose report was submitted to tho legislature tonight. The commission finds against the proposal of a minimum wage law and expresses the opinion thut the question of an eight hour day is a Dominion and not a provincial measure. Compulsory arbitration is not -favored' but the commission, recommends amendments being made to the Industrial Disputes Investigation act to enablo the minister of labor In strikes involving public utilities to-appoint a board of conciliation, as It Is-considered thut' In such cases the interests of tlie public are paramount to those of the employer pr employee. Tho Industrial Workers of tho World arc scored as being foreign to the economic conditions of British Columbia. It is pointed out that though many railroad laborers arc membors of. this organization very little effort Is being made to carry into practice the pernicious principles •of tho. organization. Employment Agencies In dealing with unemployment, the commission finds that the private employment agencies:aro unsatisfactory and is convinced that in many instances the managers of these agencies and tho foremen of contractors share the commission fee of the'employment agency, the result being1 that laborers are often discharged in order to make way for new men. It recommends that It bo made obligatory on all cities with a. population of. 10,000 or over, to maintain- and operate municipal labor byreaus under the control of a superintendent, and that no fee be permitted to be charged to any applicant for work or to any employer. It is also in favor of national labor bureaus and tho elimination of private agencies. Fortnightly Pay Day In recommending a fortnightly pay day the commission comments on th' evil of payment at long periods of lime as sapping the independence of the I laborer and often compelling him to' trado at the store of his employer, who Is thus cnubtcd to derive a double' profit. It considers that miners experience a great deal of Ineonveulonco from paymont of wages at long intervals. Minimum Wage The commission finds against the payment of a minimum wage of four dollars, on thc ground that it would destroy such. Industries of tho province as; aro In, competition with the Iirovlnoes of eastern Canada and foreign countries, where no such law Is In force. Scaffold Inspection Another recommendation is tiiat all cltios of 10,000- or over should be obliged by statute 'to appoint a sufficient number of scaffolding Inspectors and thut cities and municipalities be empowered to pass by-laws* regulating the construction of scaffolding. The government Is also advised to Institute a system of first aid instruction in logging and mining camps. Stats Insurance In dealing with the necessity of compulsory state insurance, the commission finds the existing system unsatisfactory und recommends the es- ; tabllshmont of a workmen's compensation board to control and Initiate the some insurance plan. The scheme is limited to .dangerous occupations, hut employers in other Industries may come In on request. All actions at law will be abolished. The employer will be taxed a percentage of his payroll based on the risk of his particular business and the workman who . Is unable to. work when a waiting porlod of two weeks is over will be glvon compensation running from, the date of thc-ueclih-nt. • Tiie payments will be made weokly, with power to the wprkmen's ponsatlon board to commute the same which the- commission finds should be done only In exceptional cases. No scale of compensation Is fixed, but the recommendation' is that it should be based on the earnings' of the injured workman., t j Sunday Labor The commission finds that workmen engaged In Sunday labor should not thereby be. debarred from-compensation. A- recommendation favors the closing of all shops on Saturdays at ■noon. Legislation.

Within the city a force of about 10,000' snow shovellers, 2,500 extra, teams, the entire nersonncl and equipment of the street cleaning department, millions of gaNc.ns of water for thaw-intr and flushing, about six hours of warm sunshine and the co-operation of many citizens and the public service corporations, made it possible to maintain on the trunk thoroughfares a somblanco of normal traffic. Little, however, could be done on the side directs.' which remained deeply bunked with snow. Communication with outside uolnts was on-a 1)apis greatly improved over yesterday's virtual, 'prostration of means of transit. Heroic efforts on the part of rail roads has made much of the trackage available, but trains during the day were still from 30 minutes to *•* hours late. Arrivals later in the day showed that the Improvement in train service was steadily progressing. Most of the roads had. resumed their regu lar schedules and through tickets were sold again. Trolley transportation, howover, was badly crippled In the suburban and rural districts, due to a, breaking of conduits andvtrolley poles. Much improvement was als0 affected in wire conditions. Direct tele graph communication ao 'far west as Buffalo has .been re-established, In this city such food supplies as milk, butter, eggs, vegetables, and in some cases meat, wore still in short supply, due, on tho one hand, to the badly disorganized freight and other train .service and on the other to impeded street traffic. The same condition-, still hamper coal delivery and trouble from a scant supply of fuel .at points where it was to be consumed was still feared. •' LegislaturetDivides--Amend- ment to Municipal Act SECOND READING OF DOUKHOBOR BILL; Attorney General Explains Measure-British Columbia Fishery Products.

C, March 3.—The monotony of reading the Municipal act, which occupied the attention of the house for over five hours at today's session of the legislature, ftns broken -during the afternoon -hy j, i<\ A. Mackenzie, Del^j who proppsc-d an amendment that' the clause pro.vi'i- ing that rural municipalities -/h'ju'.d he allowed to invest their sinking funds in mortgages oni farm lands, which was a provision in the former act, should he retained in tho pr«-a- ent bill The member for Delta pointed out that for the last 20 years this oluliBfl had-.been in operation and. he had never heard of a single case whore a rural muslcipality had loBt a, cant hy loaning their funds to farmer. He said that in &pite of this provision the financial standing of the rura. municipalities stood above par today. He proposed that the clause should be.retained in the present act for at least one year and that at the ond of that time the inspector of municipalities, who was to bo appointed, couid mako a further report on the advisability of continuing the provision permanently. He said that oven If cities had abused the privilege of "the investment of their sinking funds such a charge had never been levied against the rural municipalities nnd that the royal commission ou agriculture had practically endorsed the proposal In their report. The attorney general in opposing tho amendment pointed to tlie fact that while the system might have worked well in the municipalities of Surrey, Langley, Delta and Matsqut, with which the proposer of the amendment was acquainted, there were other municipalities of the province that hud not been so successful in their loans. "The passage of this amendment would mean the introduction of politics into the financial affairs of the municipalities," said the attorney general, "and tl'" commission which brought in its report a year ago voted unanimously against the clause." The attorney general pointed out that the question of municipal credit was receiving more . consideration every year and there was a growing tendency all over this continent to hedgB the investment of the councils' funds with more safeguards. He took the converse view to the member for Delta and suggested that the hew lawl should be passed as it stood and as it had been recommended by the committee and that, if after the expiration of a year the inspector found it advisable to make any. changes, he could make recommendations to the next session of the legislature to this offect; S. A. Cawley, Chlllwack, continued the debate In support of the amendment and pointed out that at present the farm 'lands of the province were assessed at only BO per cent of their value and that the present provision only allowed loans to be mado to within B0 per cent of their assessed value, so that the risk of loss was very small, The amendment was lost. Doukhobor Legislation Th^ difficulties .that the government has experienced In enforcing the laws of the province with regard to infractions of the Vital Statistics act, the Noxious Weeds act, the School act and other legislation has been the main factor that has led the government to Introduce the bill entitled an Act to Make Provision for tho Welfare and Protection of Women and Children Living Under Communal Conditions, which received Us second reading loday. "Every person in this province must realize that the laws will be rigidly enforced," said the attqr.ney-generul, in speaking on the provisions of the bill, "and the peopl1.* who live under communal regulations must learn that the efforts of those In authority to preach defiance of the laws to their subordinates will not be tolerated." Mr. Bowser, in explaining the provisions of the bill, said that it would be sufficient proof that a person was a member of a .tribal community if it was proved under oath that he was found on the lands which are occupied under communal conditions us distinguished from the ordinary or family conditions of residence. Community Liable With regard to registration under the Vital Statistics act the obligation on the father and mother of a newly bom child under family conditions Was transferred to every member of the community In which the infant was born and the obligation on the oWner of the tenement or house which a death occurs under ordinary conditions of residence is uIbo trans- Twenty Thousand Dollars as Commission for Sale of Kltsllano Reserve—Negotiations Rejected iTRv TVillv New-* Lf-nflf-rl w<re * VANCOUVER, B.C., March 3.—The Bult of Joseph. Cole of Mission against Hamilton Read, .barrister, for $20,000 for commission for the recent sale of the Kltsllano Indian reserve to the provincial government waB this morning dismissed by Chief Justice Hunter. "If there had heen more evidence or a more searching cross-examination of some of the witnesses I might have come to a definite conclusion, but as the case stands I must give judgment for the defendant," announced his lordship at the close of argument hy counsel. Cole's contention was that he had introduced the question of sale of the reserve to Mr./ Head and had been promised $20,000 commission if a sale of the reserve jvas effected, but that when the $70,000 commission was divided between Ji- O. Alexander and Read, he was not given anything. The defence waB that. Cole's negotiations were rejected by the Indians and that Read got his share of the $70,000 as a gift from Alexander for assisting In separate negotiations which Alexander was carrying on. The latter view was upheld by Chief Justice Hunter. The case caused a great deal of political bitterness.

LONDON, March 3.—Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign secretary, made an important statement on the Mexican situation in the commons today. In reply to a question as to the investigation into the death at Juarez of William S. Benton.^ tl*e British ranchman, Sir Edward said: "I muBt ask leave of the house to make a somewhat more extended statement than can properly be held with- the limits of an answer to questions. "All th© efforts that have .been made hitherto have failed to secure an investigation Into the facts respecting the death of William S. Benton. "The persistent difficulties put In the way of bucIi an investigation create tho strongest presumption of a desire and an intention to conceal the truth on the port of those In Mexico who are responsible for what has happened. . "Communications with the government of the United States are still proceeding, but I would repeat what I Bald last week—'that these communications do not imply that the government of the United States has any responsibility for what has taken place'—by which I mean, of course, the death of Benton. "While, therefore, we shall welcome any action that the United States Is prepared to take to secure justice, we havo no title to demand as a right that the United States should resort to the use of force. "One -can only demand that another government should go to all lengths to secure reparation for a crime when one holds that government in some way responsible for the commission of.tho crime. "So far the United States bus shown as much interest in the death of a British subject as It has in outrages on American citizens, for I understand sevoral American citizens have been killed in Mexico. And the United StateB has shown every desire' to insure protection for'-British subjects in the Mexican territory controlled by the constitutionalists. "I would, therefore, sum up the situation by saying that if the United States thinks it proper to take further steps either on behalf of its own citizens or of a British subject, we will gladly wait the result. But if for reasons of Its own the United States does not think it desirable to take such steps, we must, of course, serve to ourselves the right to secure reparation when it is in our power to do so. "Our general policy toward Mexico and the Central and South American republics Is confined to commercial interests which we keep within non political limits. As a rule, therefore, all questions that arise between those republics and ourselves are settled by diplomatic means or can be referred to arbitration. "But the violent death of a British subject and the refusal of those In Mexico to allow the circumstances to be investigated make it incumbent on us to do what We can on our own behalf. "Assuming that the United States does not itself desire to take any responsibility for Intervention, it lias been urged upon me that we should take immediate action, without, however, giving me any suggestion or indication of what action, we can lake at the moment. "[ must repeat what I said last week—that there is nothing we can do under the present conditions. "The government in Mexico City has no control over the territory where the death of Benton took place nor over those responsible tor his death. We cannot, therefore, under the present circumstances secure reparation through that government. "We have no intention of engaging in such a fantastic attempt as the sending of u force—which, to be effective, would have to be a very large force—Into any part of Mexico. "Under ordinary circumstances we might have taken action at a port or by way or blockade. Under present conditions, if we took such action and it had any effect it could only result in giving assistance to the contending party in north Mexico. "To take action that would positively help those from whom we demand reparation, simply for the sake of appearing to do something, would be worse than futile. "But we do not intend to let the matter rest and as soon as by any change of circumstances It is in our power to carry the matter further, we shall take whatever stops may he practicable." Attempt to Legislate Beyond Pu' "• Opinion Failure, Says Premie o*^ I On Guard for Canada. ' >** i (By Dally News/Li*nB-* <lrc) OTTAWA, March 3 A-\e of the most remarkable gathecj-ugs that has ever assembled in Canada—the social service congress of Canada—the object of which is to arouse interest in and enlist, allied organizations in he- half of social righteousness with thc purpose of improving social, economic and ethical conditions in Canada, opened Its sessions here today and will continue the next two days. Delegated are in attendance frtMn.all parts of Canada; £n*d so -.great ■ waa .. the crowd .peeking *admissioiH<r<the hail that JtungftdB had to be turned amity. An overflow meeting was held tonight, all -the speakers ",ort the teguhir program doing double duty, delivering*-! addresses in two halls. - A At the .morning session addresses of welcome^were delivered hy Premier Borden, Sir ■WWridO*uri«^and Controller Dr, Parent, representing the city. The theme of the afternoon session was "The Church and Industrial Life," ana many notable speakers, including Dr. Charles Stelzle, consulting social- ogist of New York; Controller James SimpBon, Toronto; Rev. J. W. Alkens, pastor of tho Metropolitan churcli, Toronto; Rev. G. C. Pldgeon, D.D., Vancouver, and Rev. W. A. Riddell, B.A., Toronto, were heard. At the conclusion of the afternoon session a resolution was adopted that deputations wait on the government, advocating the establishment of labor bureaus. Controller James Simpson, Toronto, furnished figures to show that in Toronto there were 1,000 men and 400 women on the unemployed register, with probably 5,000 unregistered In that city alone today. Archbishop Hamilton presided at <the {evening Session, at which the speakers were H. N. Stevens, M.P., Vancouver, and W. W, Lee, immigration secretary national council Y.M.C. A., and Dr. Charles Stelzle, New York. "We at this congresB stand on guard for Canada, to martial the forces of an enlightened and patriotic people—that is why we are assembled here at th© headquarters of Canada, where the men in power have the ability to grant what this congress will pray for." This was the opening statement to th© address with which Rev. Dr. Carman, president of the Social Service Congress of Canada and general superintendent of the Methodist church In Canada, opened the first social service congress ever held in the Dominion, in the normal school here today. "We ace hero to redeem the land, to help our fellow citizens to live a higher life, to exalt the morals of the country, and to inspire manhood and womanhood to better things," ex- claimed the chairman. Other inspiring addresses to delegates who have come from all purts of Canada, representing all the churches and several religious organ- Izatlong were given by Premier Borden, Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Controller Dr. Parent. One of the greatest needs today is the enforcement of the laws that are not on the statute books. It is a fact, however, said Mr. Borden, that laws which are passed contrary to public opinion are not a success. Sir Wilfrid Laurier said that, as leader of the opposition, he would do till possible to advance the objects of the congress. He fully appreciated that the purpose of the organization is to elevate and improve the condition of mankind. Family Life. "In this age of rapid development when the cry of tlie market and materialism is louder than ever, you must make lhe people of Canada understand there Is a higher and a greater consideration on which the foundations of this nation are to>be laid," said Premier Borden at the outset of his address. "I am not an old man, but it seems to me that within the last 40, or even 30 years, there was in the family life a more powerful influence ou child life there there is today. "You are to discuss church and in dustrlal life; the radical changes ir the life of the worklngman; neglected and dependent children, and the commercialization of vice and white slavery. AU these subjects have a great and urgent importance. You have alluded to the part that the government may be expected to take In passing co-operative legislation. You may talk on matters that require remedy and redress, I think the government of today and of tlie past has ever been ready and willing to co-operate. But as far as the government and parlt ment are concerned I must say that it is as bad to have no law as a law that is not enforced. I have seen laws placed on the statute books of my own province, and I believe it is similar in other provinces, which are treated with contemptuous disregard. It would have been far better if no such law was enacted, "Whatever decision the congress will come to In regard to co-operation to.be sought from the government, I would say the legislation must not only be effective, but there must be an effective means for enforcing it. An attempt to go beyond public opinion has never been successful in the past." Startled by Corruption. "Somo of the recent examples of political corruption have startled us who would to God the conscience of the people of Canada would be aroused,' said Right Rev. J. C. Farthing, Bishop of Montreal, in his reply to the welcome. He maintained that the spirit of the church and the state can never be separated if the good of the country is to bo considered primarily. Commons Debates Miner's Strike at Coast KOOTENAY MEMBER ANSWERS CARVELL Supports Action of British' Columbia Government- Debate Grows Bitter. »jfi- (By Dally Newa Leased Wirt.) | OTTAWA, March 3.—After over { eight hours of bitter and incisive de- < bate, the government majority at 1:30 tonight voted down an opposition, motion of censure of Hon, T. W. Crothers, minister of labor. The motion, which was move* by Alphonse Ver- ■ ville. Liberal representative of Maison- neuve, accused the minister of negligence and indifference in his manner of dealing with -the strike at Nanaimo. It was rejected on a vote of 80 to 43, a government majority of 37. Sir Wilfrid Laurier said he would not go so far as to say that the Canadian Northern railway had prevented action on the part of the minister, but it was quite clear that all correspondence relating to tho strike, was. with, Officials of that company. He said that the men had been driven to* acts of violence by the inaction at the department, and that the people responsible for this wore more to bo blamed 'than those who hod committed offenses against the laws. Hon. T. W. Crothers spoke at length In defence of himself and the officials of his department. Hc said-there was nothing ho should have done which had been left undone. He referred at length to instance^ where tho late government bad declined to interfere with labor disputes. The debate was closed by the premier ln a brief speech- There was nothing the minister of labor couid have done, said Mr. Borden, that, he, bad not donc. It had been suggested by Sir Wilfrid that he should have sent an Investigator to British Columbia at an earlier stage, but It had been learly shown by Mr. Crothers thut had he done so, his intervention would have tended to lengthen: the strike. Consequently the case for the opposition fell to tho ground, ho said, and he hud not the slightest hesitation in lsklng the members of the house to appose the resolution by the member for Maisonneuve. Extra Provincial Companies When the house met, William Tho- murn, North Lanark, called the attention of the government to a recent de- isloa of the supreme court of Saskatchewan, whereby the Linden, Refrig-. orator company of Montreal wa* non- uited in an action against the Suskut- hewan Creamery company, on tbo ground that it was not registered In Saskatchewan. The suit arose over ?3,42(i, tho price for a refrigerating plant shipped by the Montreal company to Saskatchewan. The creamory company claim that the machinery waa defective, but the judgment stated that there was no evidence of this. As the Montreal company was not registered, it could not maintain its case in the Saskatchewan courts. Mr. Thoburn asked the minister ot justice if it were possible that a company doing business In one province and shipping to a firm ln unother province could be non-suited-as a foreign concern. In this case, he pointed out that the Montreal firm had a Dominion shorter, Hon. C. J. Doherty, tn reply, said that this was one of the points In connection with tho conflicting jurisdiction of the Dominion and provinces. The point would be settled, in all probability when a judgment Is given by the privy council in the company's case, Monk Resigns Seat Speaker Sprouie announced formally that he had received the resignation of Hon. P. D. Monk, member fur Jacques Cartier. No reason was. given for the resignation, but it is understood to be tlie result of Mr. Monk's Illness. Railway Loans Sir Wilfrid Laurier asked the minister of finance us to the correctness of a statement attributed to him in the press that tlic government had not received and did not expect to receive an application from any railway company for a loan. Hon. W. T. White said he could give Information as to his own statement, but not as to that of Sir William Maq- kenzie. Tho statement which Sir Wilfrid had read to the house attributed to him was a correct statement uf facts as far as he wus aware of them. Strike at Coast Alphonse Verville, of Maisonneuve, again Introduced a discussion on the Nanaimo labor trouble. He spoke &)t some length and concluded with a motion of censure on the minister of labor. Mr, Verville said that he was surprised at the naturo of tho correspondence tabled- relating to this dispute. The striking feature, he said, was not what It contained, but what was omitted. Tbe strike broke out on Sept. 15, 1912. On Sept. 19 the men were notified thut thoy should apply for a board of conciliation.

It recommends that all be made negotiable antl thai ull laborers when discharged from logging r-nd railroad camps be provided, when required, with the necessary means of transportation to the nearest office of the employer, where a final settlement of wages can be obtained. The commission examined 419 witnesses as well as made personal inspection of mines and logging aud railway construction camps. The comment is made on the growth of trade unionism and the disappearance of ull personal relations tn the larger Industries and further notes that British Columbia In regard to unions ranks higher in proportion to population than any other province in Canada. A recommendation ls that any employer who dlscriminatet against a workman merely because he lb a member of a lbpr union should be penalized and on the other hand that workmen who work during limes of strike should be protected against the use of the abusive epithets such as "scab," "blackleg," etc. ln the main the report provides a more radical and advanced program of legislation than was generally anticipated. None of the controversial questions have been shirked and the document is noticeable throughout for its sympathetic attitude towards labor. -> KEREMEOS NEWS ..,.....:.:. .-...-;...;.,... ........

Ahout 10 JJeet was the limit for carrying the puck luet, night and the player who got awajs 10 feet was considered lucky, for, the Ice was Buch that anything in the line of combination or individual play was, Impossible and the players had to content themselves with playing the boards, following the puck up and shooting from any possible range. In this respect the Grand Fortes boys liad it on Nelson, for they seemed to keep, closer upon the puck and they, were quicker in grabbing opportunities in front, of the nets, ■■ Mickey McKay to Front Perhaps the player whose presence on the Ice last nl-jht was most 'felt: and moBt closely watched was :.tra] hard working Mickey McKay, whp figured at centre for the Boundary, champs, He was all over the Ice and: never let up during the entire encounter. He showed that he waB fast on the steel blades, tricky and aggressive and in the judgment of the rail birds would take a lot of stopping on fast ice. Mat?, on right wing for Gr&nd Forks was another hard an<i consistent worker, while In front of the opposition nets Joel Rochon, well known In Nelson, was a dangerous and tricky little performer. McManus in goal and Lobslnger and Green in front of the nets were a hard team to beat. On the Nelson team the management of the club sprang the two dark horses ou the crowd in the persons of "Red" Sexsmith and McCammon of RosBland, both showing up well, but having no chance to show their,usual form on the slushy ice. N'elson started with their regular, Hneup on the lc< but it was not long before Charlie Taylor was disabled and Sexsmlth substituted.

McKay and McQuinn played nicely for Nelson, while Harry Bishop and Ernie Hacking both showed their UBiial aggressiveness. Both McCatnmon and Sexsmith were given warm receptions by the Nelson fans. It was Borne time at the start before'the players got used to the ice, but when they did it did not add much to the speed and the puck travelled from end to end until at about fivel minutes time from a scrimmage in; front of the local net the first goal' of the evening was slipped in for Grand Forks. There was no further .scoring during the period and ror minor-'offences Lobslnger and McGregor were benched and Bishop of Nelson was given a ticket to keep them company. There was no scoring in the second period until Green essayed to take a poke at the goal from centre and McCammon proved to the spectators that he.'was not an outfielder for a ball team, for,iii an attempt to catch the puck.tte' fjiihbled It and it slipped past Cadden J nip the net. Later ..Rochon added another for the Forks. McCammon and McGregor were the offenders against the officials in this period. For, some time in the last period Nelson made desperate efforts to beat the ForkB' defense in an attempt, to save a whitewash, but their onslaughts were unsuccessful. However, Grand Forks were not slow to take an opportunity and breaking away they carried the play to the other end of the rink. Here Rochon and McKay got In some of their good work lu front of the Nelson net and on a pretty pass from Rochon, McKay, slipped in the fourth goal for the Forks and the last goal of the game. Lobslnger and Sex- Bmlth decorated the boards In this period. Season Nearly Over. From the condition of the Ice last hight it waB very evident that there would be very little more hockey in Nelson this season. The Grand Forks boys are touring the district on their own behalf and may play in Rossland during the week. As soon us their tour endB they will disband for tlie season.

LABOR COMMISSION'S REPORT. | The report of the provincial labor commission presented to the legislate yesterday is so sweeping in Its character and contains so many rec- immendations worthy of adoption by he government that It should be read iy everyone interested in BritiBh Co- umbia's industrial development. Foi- owing the practice of the government n regard to the reports of such commissions no legislation on the subjects lealt with will be introduced at the ireBent session ot the legislature, but lefore another sitting of the house he government policy will be decided nd will he embodied in legislation to ■e brought down next year. There is so much to be commended . the report of this commission that Ihere can be no doubt that its members made an honest endeavor to get i the bottom of the labor question in province. -From the standpoint I the province generally one of the most important recommendations is !-^n favor of a fortnightly payday. One of the curses of British Columbia fat. the present time is the system of Heferred paydays In effect in so many lines of Industry, and also on the railways. The result of this is that the credit tystem Is forced upon working people md also upon the business interests if the province to the loss and in* ionvenlence of 'both. With fortnightly laydays throughout the province the Forklngmen of the province would be snahled to pay as they went, the re- | allers would benefit through the reaction of the credits which they are tt present called upon to extend and is a result would be to a large meas- ire freed from obligation to the bank: ind to the wholesale houses for moiic* md goods required. The retailer In easonabty fair circumstances would enabled to pay practically as he •Went and there would be an improvement generally In conditions. j Not only this, but a -fortn'ghtly pay- would also prove a benefit to forking people in protecting them loss through the operations of fraudulent or unfortunate employers. l fortnightly payday would in the past ? years have saved marly a miner, example, from loss in some cases |md lu others delay in collecting THE "DEPORTEES." The nine Labor leaders deported by the Botha government are in Britain, and their arrival haB already put the question with emphasis to the British people whether the empire can continue to exist if Buch arbitrary treatment of Its subjects is to he permitted in any portion of it, says the Montreal Star. This is a question which will outlive the demand made by the men themselves—that they be returned triumphantly to South Africa. Many will think that they ought to consider themselves lucky to get out of that country—and he only too glad to stay out. But the method of their ejection still remains an outrage on all principles of British justice; and* the sober-second thought of the British people, all round the world, will he concentrated upon some plan for preventing its recurrence. , Leaders of opinion in Great Britain endow colonial feeling with more sensitiveness on such matters than it possesses. We are stout for real autonomy, but we are quite ready to establish a mutual understanding which will prevent such blows at the integrity of th- empire.

In case of the worst happening the employe Is enabled to escape with a comparatively small loss and In any event has a better opportunity to protect himself. At present a company may be in serious difficulties for a month or even longer before the employe becomes informed of the fact. The recommendation of compulsory state insurance, administered hy a workmen's compensation board, thus doing away with legal costs fn collecting claims for injuries sustained whlle engaged In their regular employment, is one that it Is to be hoped will he given attention by the government. This if given effect ln legislation should do much to protect the interests of the worklngman who suffers injury while at work, but who is financially unable to undertake the collection in the courtB of proper compensation for the injuries sustained. It can be taken for granted that the recommendations of the commission will have the most serious and, It is to he hoped, most favorable consideration of the government with the result that next session legislation based thereon will be submitted In such form as will constitute the most advanced*law of this kind to be found upon the Btatute books anywhere In Cdnada. * THE WEATHER <• ■*> -?

He is still unconscious and the end is gradually approaching, I Mining News MINERS MUST ASK REASONABLE PRICE Seattle Mining Man Look*for Extraordinary Revival of Interest In Industry. ■Prospectors in Kootenay and Boundary who have claims for sale must set a moderate price on their properties If they wiBh to take advantage of the turn of the investment tide toward mining which is becoming more noticeable daily, declared Clarence Cunningham, the Seattle mining man, who was a guest at the Hume last night on his way to the Slocan to make an Inspection of the Wonderful mine, which he has under development. Those who are willing to take chances with their money in the development of untried prospects must be offered terms such as will encourage them to invest their money, said Mr. Cunningham, who believes that there are hundreds of. properties in Kootenay and Boundary which will show up well under development If the*, men with the money can he induced to take hold of them, He is convinced, however, that the day of the payment of half a million or a million dollars or even a quarter million dollars for properties which, although worthy of development, are little better than prospects, is over except In very rare Instances. He stated that he looked for an extraordinary revival of interest ln mining operations during the coming spring and summer. "The investing public has been pounded and hammered In real estate speculations ijn(-* Is heartily sick of It. But this'same public still has the money and still has the desire to invest it profitably, and I believe that mining will be the Industry which will prove the attraction," he said.

NO COMPROMISE IS PROBABLE Home Rule Bill Will Be Introduced Today—Election to Follow Pasaa^e. (Western Associated Press Special Cable.) LONDON, March 4.—The commence- ment of the final stage of the home rule controversy, announced exclusively in Canada by the Western Associated Press yesterday morning, once again is the star feature in the news- papers. The Unionists are jubilant at what they already ascribe as "As- qulth's defeat," but the Liberals assert that Asqulth is not defeated yet and boast that when the defeat comes it will be on the other slde of the speaker. It is definitely announced that Chief Secretary Birrell will reintroduce the Irish government bill in the house this afternoon. The bill will be given Its formal first reading and there is not expected to be any discussion. But on Monday next the premier himself will move the second reading and will explain the changes he is prepared to make "for the sake of peace." A, two days' debate will then take place, when all the big guns will be. heard, and then an adjournment will take place for a fortnight to permit the Nationalist convention in Dublin to declare Its policy. Amidst a myriad of contradictory assertions tbe salient fact this morning Beems to be that no matter what suggestions the government may make the Unionists will refuse to accept any compromise, and it looks as if the government would force the bill through and then go to the country nt nn early date. io; Polish Your Furniture with 3-in-One oil Put a few drops ol 3-in-One oil on a soft cloth wrung 6 out io cold watec.

COMMUNICATION ^^.>&<3*$>1* ENTHUSIA8M NEEDED To the Editor of the Dally News. Sir: Referring to the meeting of the Chahko Mlka general committee held at the hoard of trade rooms on Monday evening I was pleased to observe that the .right cord was struck by the members present in deciding that a meeting 'be held at the opera house on Friday next wherehv the general public will be enlightened by competent speakers as to the benefits that will inevitably accrue to the city by the holding of a carnival such as Is being organized. One of the members present at the meeting dilated at considerable length on the "carping criticisms" he and others had experienced at the hands of some prominent business men of Nelson. This unfair criticism is probably due to the fact that sufficient publicity has. not been given to this undertaking, and the general public being thoughtfully under (he erroneous Impression that It is being run by a few for personal benefits. Once an Impression of this kind gains ground one will always find, in any community, people so thoroughly wrapped in a cloak of Belf-consclous- neBs that even the rays of good-will cannot penetrate, who will, instead of loyally directing their energies to further the Interests of the city from which they derive all the benefits they are enjoying, attempt to throw cold water on the efforts of the few who have the city's interests at heart and who are devoting their time and knowledge with that one object ln view. Considering the importance to the city of such a carnival as is proposed to be held and.the enormous amount of work which the successful Issue of same necessarily entails there appears to be a deplorable lack of enthusiasm amongst the business men of this city, especially the old-timers, who never seem to weary of expounding the exploits of other old-timers who have in years past brought sqmewhat similar events to a successful conclusion; but I notice that the aforesaid old-timers are conspicuously absent from the meetings of the Chahko Mlka general committee. In my opinion what is needed even more than financial assistance—good enough in itself—but which, unfortunately, appears to be the extent of the "sacrifice" to which the majority of our citizens are prepared to offer themselves—is' Individual and united enthusiasm. By the medium of public meetings let every citizen be taught that it Is to his interest to do his quota toward making the Chahko Mika, Nelson, B. C„ 1914, the great success it deserves to he, and by this meanB—and this means only—will, In my opinion, such success be attained. May I suggest, Mr. Editor, that a little more prominence be given by the press to the work performed by the several committees, as recorded at the general meetings, so that the public,/Who are unable to attend the meetings, are kept posted as to what Is being done by the men who are doing their,best to make the Chahko Mlka one big successful event.

The foundation of a school In which young lads would receive, in addition to their ordinary education, a training ln practical and scentific agriculture, would be of immense value in bringing about this end. Parents in the old country on the look-out for their children would gladly welcome such nn institution, especially as such a large number consider that the English public school is far from successful in fitting boys for practical life beyond the seas. If it was possible to make a beginning along these lines, boys would be brought up to understand Canadian conditions of life and ready to take up property purchased for them by their parents with eve,ry prospect of success—especially If the institution were planted in the midst of some purely agricultural district, such as the dry belt, well away from the doubtful attractions of large town centres, and where the farming community Ib knit more closely together through -the necessity of cooperation in growing ,und marketing. ■H. vV.

Paish, editor of the London Statist, and one of the leading financial authorities of the world, thai after close study of Canadian industries and resources he had come to the conclusion that Canada must at least double or treble her output before she could hope to overtake the machinery already in existence for the handling and marketing of her products. His advice is to spend large sums of capital in securing settlers for the agricultural districts and equipping them for prosperous citizenship on the land. The premier of British Columbia, Sir Richard McBride, Is thoroughly alive to this necessity of securing settlers for the agricultural districts, recognizing it to be both a wise and patriotic policy. The home products ot British Columbia and far and away, below what the province requires. A wise and careful -government ls fostering the advent of large railway facilities and the growth of sound methods of marketing produce. But the need for settlers is imperative, unless we are content to allow the quietly aggressive occupation of our land by the men of China and Japan, or allow our foreign competitors to dump their products on our market and reduce prices to below the margin of profitable working, and this will continue until we produce in sufficient quantities to satisfy the largest share of present demands. But It ls more than mere settlers we requir*-* Wr want trained settlers, men who have learnt the business they intend to take up; especially is this the case with agriculture. It Is curious that while people admit other lines of business require 'trained mon and insist on having them, they think "any fool can milk a cow." The truth that the successful management of a farm requires aa much Intelligence, as much business ability and strength of character as any other line of life; and if we wish to Introduce a successful class of settler into tho province we should start at the commencement ana see that the type of settler we BRAINS AND SIZE To the Editor of The Dally News.

He knocked out "Gunner" Rawles at Belfast in 10 rounds, Jan. 4, ana he polished off Plgot, France's best heavyweight, at Cardiff, equally dramatic ally, and as suddenly as he had himself (been .polished off hv Caxpentler, At the beginning of the year Blake, had a challenge accepted by Carpeh- tier on terms of a win from the Dixie Kid, a colored boxer, who well fills the role of trial horse for possible white hopes. Blake won the encounter on points, ibut did nothing to convince the real critics that he was good enough to stand up to Wells or Car- pentier, despite a popular Impression to that effect. Those who watched tonight's contest could not but feel that it did not furnish the old country with a man 'fit to take rank nlonpslde Carpentier and-the American contingent of white hopes. FANS DfSAPPOINTED AT HOCKEY EXHIBITION WINNIPEG, March 3.-—The exhibition professional hockey match here tonight 'between the Victoria, Stanley cup chasers and the Vancouver seven failed to create much of an Impression on Winnipeg fans. The Vancouver team won the game by eight to six, ibut outlasting their opponents in the last period. The lee was slow and a great handicap for the players, they being unable to show their usual speed, 'but thc exhibition, us a whole, was a distinct disappointment to the 2,500 fans.

THRU THE LOST AND FOUND CO| UMN. not out on strike but had quit work as a protest against discrimination. A remarkable feature of the correspondence, in the opinion of Mr. Verville, was that ,the operators had never actually set: forth their case. I£ almost tempted him" to believe that this was because the Canadian Northern railway waa' interested and the' minister had some l.ntorestSH* the conipany. He would not go* rfb^ffli- as1 td say that however. He said that a letter sent by the men. before the end of Septi ber, 1912" fully setting forth their case should have called for some action on the part of the government. Ail the minister did was to make*a reply saying that he would consider tho matter. It was noticeable, he said, that on two occasions during tho autumn of 1912 the department had begged the company to set forth Its side of tho case, becauso, aa they explained, the session of parliament was going to open and the strike would be discussed, Mr. Verville thought that the government would have acted wisely if they had taken action to force the hands of Mackenzie & Mann when they applied last session for aid to the extent of $15,000,000. Another point of crlticlsnj advanced by Mr. Verville was that for months subsequent to May, 1913, practically nothing appeared on tho record relating to the strike. The only letter was one from the secretary«of Sir William Mackenzie, who volunteered that the men realized that they had made a mistake and tho union would he broken up. It appeared as though the minister was relying on this Information and that he expected the trouble would soon.be over. Mr..Verville thought that, the, whole correspondence showed a-fllsposltlon on the part or the minister to prove that the men were wholly in the wrong. He was not prepared to say that some of the men had not done wrong, but that was no reason why the action of tho operators should not have been inquired Into. In September last the matter had been taken up by the Dominion labor congress at Montreal. He did not propose to say what the members of -that congress said about the minister. "You are very kind," remarked Mr, Crothers. The members of the congress, Mr. Verville said, wanted to ask the prime minister to ask the minister of labor for his resignation. He did not propose to ask that, but be would like the minister to say why no efforts had been made by way of correspondence to deal with this trouble' for five months, also why the operators' side of the case had never bfien dot'forth. He was prepared to leave It to the house to say if something hod'] not been wrong. "I claim," continued Mr. Verville, "that nothing was done toward a settlement of this trouble.' 'The minister will say he has, but 1 say hc has not done unythlng. The pjHme min ister docs not know the liin unci- in which this matter h^s .bcen.i£tfnducted, Ito Is" the greatest'sufferer of. theni nil, because hc hus this kind of "a min Ister of labor," Motion of Censure Mr. Verville said he would close with a motion which would convey the sentiment expressed by tho dominion labor congress at Its meeting In September last. He then moved as an amendment to thc motion to go into supply, "that the whole conduct of the minister of labor in regard to the claims and rights of the coal miners of Vancouver island was marked by negligence and absolute indifference and deserves tho censure of this house," Minister Defended IT. B. Morphy- North Perth, defend ed the minister with vigor. He said that the men were notified of what was required of them and the minis ter both wrote and wired them at the inception of the trouble. He also sent forms of application for a board of conciliation although the claim wns made at the other end that these hnd not beon received. Mr. Morphy resented the criticisms of Mackenzie & ■Manp-f-j-jThcse men, he said, had built |,0011 pfipjBj of railway In Canada and •history <would hand them down as great railway pioneers. No employers in the.Dominion have had so few labor troubles as Mackenzie & Munn, when the number of their employes Is taken into consideration. The member for Malsoneuve, Mr. Morphy said, claimed that the government should havo held up Mackenzie & Mann when they were looking for aid last session, but surely It was tlie duty of the representative of labor In the house to protest. But Mr. Verville was silent on that occasion. Ho was also silent .when legislation of the Grand Trunk railway Wus held up until the railway promised to give fair treatment to its employes. In view of these facts it was difficult to give Mr: Verville much credit for his good intentions. Mr. Morphy thought that the correspondence shows that the men did not follow the law and their conduct become -unlawful. Throughout the trouble the Nanaimo miners had never asked for a board of conciliation while Frank Farrington, the United Mine Workers of America organizer, had forced himself into the fight. Mr. Morphy read quotations from an article written by Mr. Farrington In the .Tournal of the United Mine Work- era of America. This article went on to,.show that the coal of British Columbia was .much, superior to the American article aijd for ,h-ft reason was forcing the product of the mines of the western states out of the markets along tho Pacific coast. It was easy to see what was his objoct. He wont to Vancouver island for the purpose of causing trouble for the sake of the American mines and not for the sake of the Canadians. He went witli the express purpose of throttling Canadian mines. Mr. Morphy paid a tribute to the ability of Mr. Crothers, minister of labor. He was an indefatlgablo worker and a man who had tho Interests of labor at heart. He said that Mr. Crothers had made an honest endeavor to settle thc strike. He shirked nothing and neglected nothing. Not only was there a royal commission, but he visited the scene personally «s did the deputy minister. He was entitled not to be attacked, but to receive the plaudit! of his fellow countrymen. «*Berf^r%Patterns- In Spring Cotton Goods we have gathered the beat of tho new patterns.

The Store for Stole and Value Baker Street W. F. Carroll, South Cupe Breton, said that the resolution was not intended to condemn the minister for anything else than his futile attempt to settle the Vancouver Island' strike. Nanaimo Member. The oriental phase of the bill was discussed at some length by F, H. Shepherd, Nanaimo. Mr. Shepherd was quite unable to credit a statement made by Mr. Carroll that a large number of oriental miners had 'been Imported since the strike on Vancouver Island began. Such a course, hc said, would be impossible under the mining .laws of 'British* ^Columbia. Every miner who was employed In a Hritish Columbia mine had to go before a board and secure a certificate of competency, ln order to secure this certificate a miner bad to prove that he had a. thorough knowledge of mining also that he know sufficient of the English language to read any of tlio notices albout the mines. The provincial inspector of mines fo-- the district was ex officio, a member of this board ;and he Was put on the board to Insure the' enforcement of the provision in regard to English. The board sat monthly and it would not grant more than 15 certificates a month. Conseciucently, there could be no large Importations of oriental miners. Orientals are now employed, said Mr. Shepherd, only Jn the mines of the Canadian collieries. Formerly, they were employed in all mines. Rut In 18S7 there was n disaster in which 100 lives were lost and which was believed to be due to the inefficiency nf oriental miners. Tlie mon in that mine had then refused t0 work with the Orientals and all the mine owners had agreed to their exclusion, except the Dunsmulr company. The DUnsmutr mines wore now owned by the Canadian collieries. Mr. Shepherd added that British Columbia had once prohibited the employment of orientals in the mines, but the privy council had held the act ultra vires. Mr. Shepherd emphatically declared his opinion that the cm- ployment of orientals in the mines was unfair. He closed with a repetition of his plea for the exercise of clemency on behalf of the imprisoned Strikers. '; ' P. B. Carvell (Carleton) said that he had com0 to tlie conclusion, after a study of the' record In this case, that there had existed nn unholy alliance between Sir Richard McBride, ACID STOMACHS ARE DANGEROUS Nine-tenths of All Stomach Trouble Said to Be Due to Acidity. A Physician's Advice on Cause and Cure. A famous physician whose successful researches into the cause and cure of stomach and intestinal dlseasi have |earned for him an international reputation, said in the course of a recent lecture that nearly all intestinal troubles, as well as many diseases of the vital organs, -were directly trace able lo a deranged condition of the stomach, which in turn was due nil times oul of ten t0 excessive acidity, commonly termed sour stomach or heartburn, which not only Irritated and Inflamed the delicate lining of the stomach lint also set up gastritis and stomach ulcers. It iff interesting to note that he'condemns the'J use ot patent medicines as well as of mod- leal treatment .for the siomach, atat- fng that he and his colleagues Have Secured remarkable results by the use- ,of ordinary iblsui'ated magnesia, which, by neutralizing the acidity of llie food, removes the source of the trouble, lie contends that It 1; foolish to treat the stomach Itself as It would be *for a man who stopped on a tuck to rub liniment on the foot without first removing the lack. Remove the tack and tlie foot will heal StSelf—neutralize the add and stomach troubles will disappear, Irritating medicines und medical treatment are useless, so long as the contents of tlu- stomuch remain acid; remove acidity, and there will be no need for medicine—the inflamed lining of tlic stomach will then heal itself. Suffer ers from acidity* sour stomaoh or heartburn should got a small bottli of blsurated magnesia from their druggist aad take a teaspoonfu! In a quarter of a glass of hot or cold water lifter meals, repeating in -fifteen minutes, if necessary, this Hieing the dose which the doctor has found most efficacious iu all cases, the Canadian Northern railway and the minister of labor. The correspondence made it clear that the Canadian Collieries, or, in other words, Mackenzie & Mann, had treated the minister with contempt. Mr. Carvell criticized the action ot the British Columbia government in calling out the militia. He read- n letter from J. Hodglnson, a business man of Nanaimo, one of tbe men arrested, declaring in somewhat lurid language what had happened subsequent to his owu arrest. Hodglnson said that he had been Imprisoned three months aad badly treated and had not yet received a trial. Mr, Carvell claimed that, in sending Commissioner Price to the scene of the trouble the minister had I10 ex* pectation that he would effect a settlement. That the minister could have settled the strike by holding up his hand was the next statement mnde by the member for Carleton. He could have done It when the Canadian Northern railway came to parliament seeking aid to the extent of $16,000,000. The estimates of the minister should not be voted until he had Informed the house why he had failed to take advantage of this opportunity. Member for Kootenay. It. F. Green, Kootenay, said it was hard to keep within parliamentary language In referring to some of the things Mr. Carvell had said. He made statements nnd charges without foundation. He wallowed in Insinuation an(i in innuendo and seemed to take particular delight In dragging such into the house. He never seemed to feel the need of proof. From his own point of view the government of British Columbia was perfectly justified In having called out the militia. A serious state of affairs reigned in the mine region, property had heen burned and destroyed, attempts had been made to commit murder, red riot ran through the country, nnd yet Mr.'Carvell said that the government was wrong In trying to protect the property of innocent citizens. Th0 British Columbia government, he said, had always been noted for its fairness in handling every question. They had the confidence of lhe people of British Columbia, as had been exemplified In a number of elections. The people of British Columbia would support their record on this occasion. Separate Corporations. The member for Carleton hafl declared that the government could have hold up the Canadian Northern railway when It was granted the subsidy last year and could have settled the difficulty in 24 hourB. Mr. Green said that Mr. Carvell ought to know that the Canadian Northern and the Dunsmulr collieries were separate corporations. Sir William Mackenzie was undoubtedly Identified with the latter company, but the ownership and control was In the old land. Mr. Carvell was not fair, he said: Ms state of mind was such that he could not be fair. The strike was something the people of British Columbia all regretted. They "should be fair enough to discuss the question In all fairness without attempting a little party advantage. Leader of Opposition. Sir Wilfrid Laurier. who followed. Admitted this was fair. Tbey were moving an Indictment against a minister of the crown. However, after looking over the evidence he believed the Indictment was a fair one. The duty of the labor minister was to prevent strikes. Sir Wilfrid reviewed the history of the commencement of tho strike. The moment tho minister saw there was an issue at stake be should have sent an agent and made nn Investigation. It was true, the deputy minister was sent to Vancouver, but not until 12 months after the strike had started. Sir Wilfrid said there was no doubt but' thnt the law has been violated by the men, ,hut thBy had been goaded to madness. They expected action on the part of the department, arid it was oftly when this did not come that they lfcaorted to violence. "The men who are in jail," he said, "are not as guilty aa those who, by suplneness, drove them to that course." I Hon. T. W. Crothers aula that Sir Wilfrid, while not intentionally ml* representing the situation, had really been guilty of grossly misstating the facts. The opposition leader, he said, had not always been so anxious about the welfare of the working man. In 1906 a strike occurred at Buckingham, and the minister of labor of that day would take no action to bring about a settlement because -both parties had not asked for a settlement. Aa a consequence rioting had occurred, three men were killed and several injured.

Mrs. Howard Wagner, of Milton, Pa;, says: "I had a bad old for month^ und would cough every night until midnight. I consulted a doctor and took two kinds of medicine -but got no- relief. Vinol was recommended and after taking It a week I could sleep all night without coughing once. I continued its use and now have a flue appetite, never felt better and my cough Is entirely gone." It is a well known fact that when a person Is run down, stomach out of order, or the system overloaded with waste matter, vital resistance is lowered and colds and coughs are easily contracted. The safest and surest method we know to overcome this condition Is by taking our delicious cod liver and iron Ionic, Vinol. in the most natural manner Vinol tones up the digestive organs, .promotes n hearty appetite, enriches the blood, and as a "oe- clflc for chronic coughs, colds and bronchial troubles Vinol is unexcelled.

CORY, Deputy Minister cf the Interior N.B.—Unauthorized publication of thia advertisement will aot ha paid NEWS OF THE MARKETS BEARS INVADE DOMESTIC STOCKS Canada Loan Quoted at Nominal Premium—Higher Prlcea Secured at Wool Auctions. (Western Associat-j-j Press Special Cable.) ■ LONDON, March 3.—The stock markets were depressed. The hears attacked domestic stocks and Paris sold Brazilian bonds, rails, and tractions. This first awakened fears aB to the settlement in Paris, :>but was afterward attributed to reports that the revolution in Brazil was growing dangerous. Consols were flat and closed at 75 1-8. The new Canada loan Bcrip is quoted at the nominal premium of 1 1-4. Home rails were weak, reports of a threatened strike in the shipbuilding ••yards on the Tyne having a depressing effect. American rails were dull, the blizzard in New York and consequent paralysis of telegraphic communication having stopped business. Canadian Pacific railway was sold, ut 215 1-2. Grand Trunk railway was easier, It being believed that weekly traffic returns will show a decrease of $125,000. Land shares and Canadian Industrials were neglected, while South Americans were flat. H. B. Mackenzie, general manager of the Bank of British North America, who, is visiting in London, says thot while the underlying conditions in Canada are healthy, it would not be wise to expect an early return of the recent abounding prosperity. A period of quiet adjustment is ahead) with enough money for legitimate- purposes, but none *for speculation, especially in real estate. Call money was steady; discounts firmer, owing to the fact Xhat the {5,000,000 in South African gold which arrived today was all bought for India and the continent. Three months paper was quoted at 2 7-16. The wool auctions which began today showed the market active, with prices strong and &n average of 10 to 15 per cent over, the prices secured in January. 8T0CK8 STORM STILL AFFECTS NEW YORK MARKET fBy Dally News Leased Wire.11 NEW YORK, March 3.—Stock exchange transactions today, while on a larger basis than yesterday, were still abnormally small. The list had not recovered from, the storm. Wire- houses in particular were badly hampered by interrupted telegraph service which kept down outside business to nominal proportions. Movement of the important stocks was small and the undertone was •good. None of the leaders moved more than a fraction above or'below yiestcrduy's close. Sentiment was mildly bearish, but there was nothing in the day's developments of sufficient importance to furnish an excuse for hammering the market. Sij. Ed ward Grey's statement on Mexican affairs was construed favorably by the 'bulls and unfavorably iby the bears, and came to naught aa a market fetor. Most attention wag given to lhe decidedly poor showing of the railroads for January. The growing sensitiveness of the railroads to this condition of affairs was indicated by New York Central's weakness yesterday on the appearance of its January -figures and by -New Haven's decline today, following the publication of a statement which revealed a decrease of $352,000 in operating income for January. The stock sold at 86-*4, the lowest figure in the history of the company. Last month it was marked up to 78, after selling at 65-Ji in December, on the passage of the dividend. London prices for American stocks were lower and there was a moderate selling here on foreign account. These circumstances accounted for a slight decline in the international stocks at the opening here. There was no large amount of stocks pressing for sale, however, and when it became apparent that the decline had been checked, "rices were put slightly above yesterday's close on light covering. The only important movements were in u few of the less active shares. C. P. R., influenced by foreign selling was heavy throughout the day. Express stocks were again strong, Adams express leading the movement with an advance. Bond-- steady. Total sales par value $2,570,000. U; S. ibonds unchanged on call.

GIANT OF FICTITIOUS WHEAT TRANSACTIONS Warehouse Trust Controli Wheat Prices More Than Any Other -. - Agency Except Panics (By Dailv News Leased Wire) '" WASHINGTON, * March 3.—The Chicago board of trade wus arraigned as a- "giant of fictitious wheat transactions," ami the weapon of a prlce- eontrpjllng monopoly, today, by Samuel H; Greeley, who for more than 20 yeaha was a member of the bojird. Appearing before the house rules committee on behalf of several wheat dealers' organizations, he declared for federal ail ion against an alleged monopoly maintained by the public Warehousemen of Chicago _and' other .market centres. 1 Though nu'inborships on .the Chicago board and control of the storage of grain, the "warehouse trust,"*he declared, had built up an organization ''which controls the wheat prices of the .world.more than any other agency except . war scares and financial panics." * The key to the situation was deaUng In futures, where no delivery was intended. In this way the Chicago board outstripped oilier boards of the world. ■ Evidence was shown to the committee, designed to show Ihat tho warehouse trust began business in 1887 and had steadily increased In power until today tv3 Chicago board was "throttled and controlled by the public warehousemen." It was said that if the investigation hearingis bring out evidence to warrant It, the matter probably will be referred to the committee on agriculture, with recommendations that it draft legislation to remedy the alleged evils. « ■>m*/WW)$Q>&b$$Qm$ PRODUCE MONTREAL PROVISION MARKET (By Dr.:1.- New* Leased Wire).

( The sairib obligation rests on each member with regard to the education 6f the children Instead of only on the head of the family as imposed by the School act. With regard to the enactment of the provisions of the Health act, the atforney-general pointed out that the enforcement of this law not only affected the general health of the community Itself, but -that its hon-enforcement might nlso Injure'the. Health of people' living in '(He neighborhood. "After a careful consideration of the whole subject the government was .led to the'conclusion that the most effective way of enforcing tbe penalties under the law was by seizure of comr munity property," said the attorney- general, "for if we incarcerate these people for non-payment of penalties they pose as martyrs and to a large extent we are put to unnecessary trouble and expense." Fisheries Report The report of the Hon. W. J, Bowser, commissioner of fisheries, was presented to the provincial legislature today. The main body gives the value of the fishery products of British Columbia and compares these with those of other provinces showing that British Columbia produced $14,455,488, out of a total for Canada of $33,389,464, more than equalling -the products for the same period of the three maritime provinces. The snlmon pack was the chief factor in this, although owing to the in- jreased demand for cheaper vai-feties of the'canned article it shows a slight falling off from the previous year. Halibut and herring, on the other hand, show Increases. The added impetus to fishing which has followed the removal of the duty on fresh fish entering the p United States, the expected benefits which the fisheries will derive from the completion of the Panama canal and of the Grand Trunk Pacific, which latter. It ls believed, will attract much of the product of Alaska to Prince Rupert, are dealt with, and the need for additional scientific study and investigation of the food fishes, the modes of curing itnd o.ther details are referred to ln the report. , Reference Is made at length to the blockade in the canyon of the Fraser above Yale, -which prevented millions of sockeye spawning in the upper reaches of the river, and which J. P. Babeock is of opinion will prejudicially affect the run four years from now up the river. That the passage of the Trust Companies act might be the means of retiring some of the companies now operating in the province, but that it would put .the business conducted by the remainder on a safe and. sound basis, was the prediction hiade by the attorney-genera I in discussing the pro-* visions of the now bill In the legislature today. ■T'1 * The attorney-general said at the present time there wore more than companies doing business In Bilt- ish Columbia, which number he believed was in excess of requirements. "While," he said, v"the proposed act was intended to curtail the number of requirements it will, I believe, inspire confidence among investors." He explained that tho recently proposed Dominion" bill was framed along tho same lines as the bill now before the legislature. The bill passed Its second reading.

C, March 4.—Last Friday, while slashing timber on his ranch at Edgewood, a fallen tree gave Arthur Tysaek a severe blow on the top of his head, rendering him un conscious. His brother, Oscar, who was working with him, ran for help and a doctor was at once summoned. Mr, and Mrs. Ellis, Mr, Bleakley, Mr. Bacon and Oscar Tysaek are all sharing the nursing of the sick man. Another accident took place on Saturday evening, when a colt ln the stable kicked Axel Johnson, of Fire valley, breaking one of hla ribs. He Is reported as progressing favorably, but -will be confined to bed for two or ihree weeks. Mr. Slater, hunter and trapper, drifted Into Edgewood early Monday morning on his floating house before a big south wind, lie comes from some six miles down the lake and brought with hini five cougar skins and two coyotes. On Thursday, March 5, at 8 p.m, a public meeting Is called to take place In the Banting hall, to receive the report of the special committee appoint ed to took into the natter of thc erec tion of a large club house In town. A concert and dance is being plan ned for Easter Monday In aid of thc social fund. Mr. Johnson is hauling steel down to the sawmill for the car track which is being laid. W. J. Banting is scaling logs for i several contractors. Service was held in St. Agnes' church ut 10:80 on Ash Wednesday. Miss M. Tinnnaeus. wh0 has been \ on the sick list for thc past two weeks, i returned on Monday lo her school duties at Fauqulers after having Bpent tho past week In Dr. Kelso's nursing home. A large amount of money has already been collected for the new school and hall building in Fire valley. Owing to thc extremely mild weather, sleighing is a thing of thc past, tlie roads at present being In a bad condition. The dance held in the Banting hall on tin Monday before Ash Wednesday was well attended. Among tho visit- present was M!ss S. G. Tlmmaeua. of Tughum.

Refuse anything else | offered, , VICTORIA, B. C, March 3.—Widespread interest has been shown In the timber royalty bill introduce-] by Hon. William II. Robs, 'minister of lands. Newspapers all over the Amer-1 lean continent and many In the United Kingdom .published despatches in which a feature was made of the recognition of the profit-sharing principle in handling public timber resources. The New York Times ln a lengthy editorial under the caption of "Profits for Governments" complimented the Hon. Mr. Ross on the Idea. Tbe New York paper said: "The British Columbia minister of lands last week Introduced- a bill providing for a government regulation of prices on lumber from the public property, and fixing the royalties to be paid by those working the timber lands ln proportion to the prices. The lumbermen are said to approve the idea, and the government expects eventually to get $2,500,000 annually, while retaining the land from which the timber is taken. "It ls singular that the Idea of associating prices and profits from the proceeds orpubllc resources has been so tardy In arriving. Hitherto the problem has been attacked from the point of reducing the excess of profits of such exploitation by taxation. That only makeB the product more costly to the consumer, without reducing the profit to the exploiter. "It Is not too late to profit from the example of Canada." "Praise for Mr. Ross and the New Royalties" is the head under which several newspapers reprint an editorial from the Mall and Empire of Toronto, referring to the new bill Intro-' dticed by the minister of lands. The Toronto Mail and Empire says: The magnificent forest areas of British Columbia are a heritage the people of that province ought to watch over most carefully. Pew provinces or states are s0 bountifully endowed. The timber should be regarded, as far as practicable, as a trust to be administered *for the general benefit, not mainly as affording opportunity for privileged exploitation. Because, perhaps, tho timber resources of the continent have been thought Inexhaustible—a sadly mistaken view—this principle haa never properly imbedded Itself— as a matter of cardinal policy—In-the public mind, either In the United States or Canada. The output from public or crown lands under lease has been taxed by the several governments, but without any -restrictions upon the price charged. The consequence has been, naturally, that the users of lumber have had to pay the government taxes, and there has been no regulation of the extent to which tho 'public, the owner of the leased limits, could be bled for its own* prop- erty. "The government of British Columbia, which has been foremost In forestry regulation, has taken a stnnd j on this matter deserving of the warmest commendation. It Is readjusting the terms of royalty upon which leases ure granted. In making substantial increases in the amounts due to the government it ls also undertaking to regulate the lumber prices. The scheme covers eight periods of five years each, the royalties being on a sliding scale. The principle upon which the measure, which, has heen laid before the legislature by the minister of lands, is based Js that of profit-sharing by the government in the exploitation of the Umber. It pro. poseB to obtain for the provincial treasury -part of the regulated value of the timber without permitting the amount thus diverted from the pockets of the timbermen to be taken out of tho lumber consumers. That is the true basis of forest administration." Unearned Increment. "Public will come ln on the unearned incroment" is the title in red letters across a two-column wide editorial on the -front page of the Vancouver World" over the slgnuture of the managing editor, L. D. Taylor. He wrote as follows: "The timber royalty bill as expounded by the Hon. Mr. Ross, minister of lands, Is a measure to which commendation will be readily extended by all .British Columbians. Public intelligence nil over the Dominion is quickening to the recognition of the fact thut the natural resources of the country ought to he exploited as natural resources and, as such the property of the people, through the crown, un- dor conditions which will not be burdensome to particular Industries. Mr. Ross claimed that the fundamental principle of the bill is its recognition of the profit-sharing principle, the profits being shared by the holders of timber lands with the government from which they hold them; In other words, the right of the people of British Columbia to share tn the prosperity of the lumber industry while at the same time giving to that Industry reasonable stability of tenure, [n compliance with these two principles, claims Mr. Ross, the bill has been framed, "It is possible, of course, that the bill will fall to meet with the approval of some lumbermen, but any grievances which might be advanced by those actively engaged in the lumbering business will be regarded by the goneral public as -being fairly met In the bill.. It Is merely a measure to protect the Interests of the people as the owners of timber properties. Tbe portlona of the revenue which It exacts for the people is merely ln the nature of ground rent. "No one questions the fact that profits by the lumbermen were not great during the past year, rather with the majority of those engaged in the business was it a question of breaking even. It Ib not true, however, to say that during the past year the mlllB were kept going for the benefit of the men employed In them. British Columbia lumbermen measure up well against other business men, but It Ib too much to expect any body of business men to keep a concern going without any regard, for their business or for themselves, and merely for the benefit of the men they employ. There have been years In which much money ON DISPLAY The New Stetson's for Spring The Kind of Hats You Want to Wear Alert, virile models, appropriate colors, becoming blocks, and a showing of special style fea-/ tures that are distinctively STETSON'S, in finish and appearance. ness In the province, and there will be many more. -For the lumber companies in British Columbia to have closed down merely because the market conditions during the past year made the making pf large profits anywhere impossible would have been for them to have dealt a serious blow at an industry in which they are primarily interested. Let It be conceded that business was kept going for the sake of the business. The business hue yielded good profits and much employment during quite a number of years. With the passing of this bill, not onlv timber owners and mill workers and men of the loggine <■■•-"■ ested, but the people of British Columbia as a whole. "Government revenue from lumber will Increase with a more active market. As the profits of the active partners increase, so will the share of tlio silent partners—the government, the people. Other natural resources aro exhaustible; the forests can be rendered permanently productive. "The timber royalty bill in many respects la the most lmporrtant meas- iiq Introduced during the present session." At the University of Washington the new bill introduced by Hon. William R. Ross was the subject of an address to the Btudont3 In the forestry class by Overton W. Price, former associate forester of the United States under Glfford PIncbot, and now vice-president of the National Conservation association of the United States, of which Mr. Plnchot is president. The lecturer said: "Hon. William R. Ross, British Cc- luir-hia's minister of lands haa insurer* by his royalty measure that, the people of British Columbia get n fair share of the increasing value of their own timber, now held under lease by lumbermen. He has given a new and very wholesome stability to the lumber industry, and he has taken a step which makes straight toward practical forestry on all public timber lands. "I expect to see great results from Mr. Ross' royalty bill—Iarge public revenues from public timber, taken fairly as the people's share of the increase on lumber prices; practical forest conservation in the woods which will Ibsug a second crop of timber, and the wider application by the British Columbia government of the profit- sharing principles in other great public resources in public ownership. And one more result: I expect to see this royalty measure result in a much more rapid reenverp from financl depression In the lumber industry in British Columbia than would otherwise have taken place."

"The church, not the hierarchy, but the spirit, must he in tlie slate, in the family, In business, iu social life, In short it must be everywhere. If the church were more in the social life we would not see such caricatures of womanhood parading the streets. We would not have scandals In the halls of legislation if the church and state were closer together." Bishop Farthing scored the politician who thinks he Is privileged to lie or be crooked in public life. He Is us responsible for lies and corruption In public life as he is In private life, declared the bishop. "The prime minister, or any other public official, is as much a minister of the church as a minister of the gospel." A few more public scandals, such as we have had recently, will effectually lower the social standard, he said, Weekly Rest. Rev, W. M. Rochester, general secretary of the Lord's Day Alliance of Canada, spoke on "The Weekly Rest Day and the National Well-being," in which he advanced the advantage of everyone having one day per week for reBt, Murdering Indians. Rev. Canon Tucker of London spoke on the Indians and their relation to Canada, advocating the appointment of a general superintendent of Indiau affairs. He referred to Indian chll dren as citizens of the future. Indians were cooped in schools whicb were hotbeds of tuberculosis, tht scourge of the Indians. "Today no serious-minded man will question the fuct that the social question Is the biggest question before us. Today tbe social situation Is lined with clouds. To some the set Idea is to abolish trade unions and the labor question will be settled. They forget has beon mnde in the lumber bnsl- that trade unionism., is not the labor problem. If it was wiped out, the labor question would be still before us and In a far worse form, I -believe," Said Rev. Charles Stelzle, consulting sociologist. Reviewing the world-wide conditions, the speaker told of the number of the trade unionists, anarchists and that class of Russian peasants who tor%years bad suffered death for an ' * 1 handed down to them by one man. "In thiB day we require thinking men who see that this Is the era whon man Is come luto his own," he said. "Men died fighting for democracy of thought, then on the battlefield *'or political democracy, and today aro fighting for labor democracy. They are marching on and no human power can stop them, nor will the divine power. "Thero is so -much religion in thc labor movement that some day it will become a question whether the church will capture the labor movement or the labor movement will capture thc church. We hear a great deal of the church as saving the masses. Some dny, perhaps, the masses will save the church. It Is fur more Important to have mechanics in the church than to have millionaires In the church. 1 say this In all seriousness becauso, in the first place, the great mass of working men acknowledge Christ and his divinity. The average working man Is about as orthodox as the average minister, and In some cases that! ls not saying very much. "When you talk to a working man you need never apologize for religion," he continued. "If you go down in his heart he will have nothing but contempt" for you. In the end there will not be one answer to the social question but religion. Socialism and Anarchism stripped of their political problems are moral and religious problems. Working men are today responding to tlie appeal for the church ■is they have never done in tho history of the church in the past 25 years. Bring Them In. 'There is not a single word in the scriptures Inviting the unsaved to go to church, 'but there Is command after command to Christians to go from the church and bring them In.

The working men have been deceived by so man>; that they have come to be suspicious of every movement." One of the most hopeful signs of the tImeB is that the church is arousing itself to the necessity of taking a greater interest in social conditions. Never was there a time when so many leaders of the labor movement were being Invited to go to church gatherings," said Controller Simpson, Toron- who followed. In Canada there exist potential natural resources enough to be found in the greatest nation in the world. From coast to coast there la an abundance which cannot be described, /'But if your are going to establish iu Canada the old world conditions of society, with its attendant evils, then organized labor says, 'it is not #ood enough for us,'" declared Mr. Simpson, "So far as the church and the Industrial life In the nation wus concerned, the farmer would be interested in the same problems that the labor and Socialist movements were interested in today. The labor movement and the church must go hand in hand toward seeking a change in industrial conditions. But so long as the conditions remain which prevail today," concluded the speaker, "so long will the kingdom of God on earth bi delayed." The line which Rev. ,1. W. Aikins, pastor of the Metropolitan church, Toronto, took In his address was to point out that the relations between the church and the wage earners Is a close one. Contrary to the opinion held by some people, the church has a great deal to do with successful business. It was when the church was nearest to the Calvary that It turned fts attention to questions of the moment. There are more problems In Canada than there are in Russia, because there Is more light here. "I wonder who taught us the worth of a man or of a woman?" Mr. Aikins held that the cross of Christ represents the principles that govern the world. "The church, too. is also doing much to bear the burdens of the weak. Every problem that faces society has greed of gold behind It. If you could eliminate the men who are prepared to wade through blood to a money hag you would eliminate war. "The church has got to link up with the trade unions. It has got to do team-work. The social problems need to be leavened with the religion of Jesus Christ. Man is more than a factor; he is a moral entity. The church has a good deal to learn from the Industrial world." The workers of the country expect the church to stand with them in the fight for a recognition of the principles of justice, said Rev. Prof. G. C. Ptdgeon, D.D., of Vancouver, who also spoke ou the church and industrial life. The speaker outlined how, in several ways, the church and labor unlonB could get together on some common ground. The church should Join the protest against the social system, Along some lines the church Is doing much good work to improve the conditions of the great masses. ■Rev. W. A. Rlddell, B.A., Toronto, gave a comprehensive address on the "Value of Social Survey," which, he said, wns now endorsed hy tho leaders of all the movements for social righteousness ln the Dominion. % KEREMEOS NEWS "■ (Continued frum page two.) honor of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Daly.

S- Kihlet, American consular agent al Nelson. That this tnx, however, cannot be collected by the United States government nor penalties for non-payment enforced, unless Americans residing In. Canada own property In the United States or return to that country Is pointed out by local lawyers, who dls- cunsed the matter yesterday. "The law imposes a tnx of 1 per centum per annum upon the entire net Income of every citizens of the United States whether residing at home or abroad.'' states tlie ruling. . "The status oi an American citizen, respecting his liability to the provisions of income tax law is not changed by a residence abroad for purposes of health, education, amusement or business, for an indefinite period. He may acquire a commercial or civil domicile abroad, but If he shall maintain a true allegiance to this government and does nothing Inconsistent with his pre-existing allegiance, he ls entitled to the protection of this government and subject to Its laws." The ruling continues that all citizens of the United States must make returns of their incomes for the period' of March 1 to December 31, 101 :i, immediately, if their income is over ?2,r>00 per annum. Penalties for failure to make returns range from fines of $200 to ?2,O00 and imprisonment of up to one year, Mr. ftiblet lias forms to be filled out by United States citizens in this district who are liable under the laws of their country to Pay the tax.

This was above the normal loss, and hence 1913 was a poor year in underwriting results. The loss record has been tteadlly going up, as it is only some five yeurs since the highest figure has been, $175,000,000.00, All this justifies this comment in tho "Insurance Field": "A great deal more property has been brought under contribution, while the average rate hus steadily declined about three-points. This, with-the decline in the value of securities for lhe year, largely accounts for thirty-eight companies having retired, and may explaih sun spots In annual statements to come later."
