DIFFICULTY-IS LONG STANDING .Each Party Accuses the Other of Bad Faith in Carrying Out Terms of Agreoment Entered Into Six Months Ago., ���������Monday last f\"wo meetings of tlie '���������> .Greenwood Miiurs' union wore '��������� lield, at' 1 ind 7:3n p. in.. to consider the smelter situation. -At . both meetings it was decided lh.it ' immediate action should ho taken, - looking\" to a permanent scale of wages that could only lie interpreted in one way by management ��������� find men, thus doing away with .the petty encroachments that have been practised since the May agrei - ment was entered into. Th\" company was given until Wednesday noon to agree to a scale\" of wages or bank or draw their (ires. The action of tlie men was nod unexpected by those familiar with con- . ditious at the smelter, and that eventualy recourse .must be had to harsh measures to force tl.e managemen tto do justice. So it is probable there will be a strike, ai.d if f.o, it will be to a finish. Many reasons could lie given for this state of all lirs. and the ni in- ngement is not altogether without 'blame.* Low wages, and a general policy of \"chcapn.ss'' has been tlie order, until a large majority of tin- old employees of the smelter haw 'quit in disgust. Men who endeav- ' ored to become prolicie.it in tin-\"*' \"wtfrk 'have been overlooked wh������'n da Tine for promotion. One of tin; licst furnace men in the employ <>l the company quit a short time ag ��������� for the reason that he had beei, twice turned down when vacancies occurred. In both instances nit-n were imported to take thc position*, one from Tennessee and the othei from Anaconda, Mont. It is said that had tlie furnace man not bi-en active in union affairs he would have been promoted. Thus it will be seen that there is no incentive to efficient work, and as\\i consequence the b(St men leave and seek ''situations in smclteis where-ability, and conscientious work lead to promotion. Much of the inure difficult-work is therefore now in charge of incxperiencd mm, and it is a common thing for a furnace to 'frccce\" or \"run away,\" thereby entailing outlay to the company, whiclva little horse sense and liberality on thc part of the, management would have obviated. Thi.- .policy of the company is very discouraging to the men, for instead of receiving promotion as a reward for efficiency, they are continuously placed on thc defensive in theii light against tlie petty encroachments on their rignts by tho management. It is impossible for nn-n to give their best efforts to their- work when they are in''dread of some new scheme to do'them out of a few .cents of their hard earned wages. The trouble witli the manager oKhc sine'tor is that-he hasn't 'tumbled to; tho fact that white men imiisfc be treated as such. The '\"nigger'' driving policy won't -work in a civilized country among ''intelligent, thinking workmen. We believe if there hud been any -attempt made to do what was right 'the.manager would luve been met .more than half way by the men. flhe work it) hard, trying on the fUerves, dangerous-and unhealthy, .and the policy of tho company has made almost every situation at the .smelter just a common everyday forlliodox hell. Following is tho scompany's ^statement as it appeared in a special .number of a district paper ,last Saturday: To THE WHIM It having conic to our knowledge itbafc during the past week oiisrep- jreaontatioriH havo boon widespread (Qvqr thc city that thc company bas failed in its obligations to its employees, it is deemed wise to make known to all interested the follow- ingstatement of facts: Last May, after many conferences between the management of the company and committee of smelter employees, the company offered tlie maxim u in scale of wages which it was willing to pay, with thc understanding that, if accepted, it was to remain in effect without question, for three years. In this scale, Charge-Wheelers were to be paid 83.00 for eight hours work, and Coke and Briquette Wheelers S2.70 for eight hours work. In the present system of working the Charge-Wheeler has been replaced\" by a Loader at the same pay as the Coke Wheeler. The, only dissatisfaction of which the company is officially aware is, that these Helpers think they should have the i-aine pay as the Loaders, who are responsible, for woi\"hiii\" the charges coirectly. T.ie new scale went into effect on .Ma}- 23 rd. Such of the, smelter employees ���������is were members of the Union having j jj^tte'.^ /b^t ,cl,m,iivojyj njz.i, iion forbade, them from making signed agreements, but not iVoin making verbal agreements, each man before going to work under the new seale had the .-cale read to him, aud gave his assent before witnesses to abide by the same until May 1st, 1909. The text of the agreement was as follows: The employees of The British Columbia Copper Company,, Ltd., agree to the following scale of wages, which is to, remain in cflxvt until May 1st, 1909. (Here follows the itemized scale.) The only special provi.-ion in tin- to do the fair thing, the smultei here tried to pay the powcrhousi men off at $3.00. ' This tho mn-:u Co., Ltd. THE MEN'S STATEMENT 1. In May when agreement was entered into the charge wheelers and coke wheelers presented no grievances, therefore these positions were .not .considered at that time, and had no place in the agreement. , 2. in jobs not specified the. I'ommitscc said they could not arrange for a scale of wages, as they did not know what 'the duties in connection therewith Would, be. Mr. MeAllisfcjr said:. \"This company will do .the fair thing and will pay the same wages as other smelters.\" This has not been done as the following will show: Loadeis' helpers receive at f J rand Forks S3.00 per thy, here they are .piicl 2.70. In Grand Forks the head loader gets 83.15, hen- 83.00 ''Motor-melt on feed llnor get S3.15 in Grand Forks; here they get ������3.00. Slag men, Grand Forks, $3.G0; hero $3.00. $3 instead of ������2.70 on heavy work, but carpenters' helpers received $2.70 instead of ������3.00; Masons' helper's $2.70 instead of $3.50. The latter amount paid by contractors. , 5. It yas understood at time of agreement that' feed floor men should receive, same wages as is paid for the same work in Grand Forks, but are being paid 30 cents K'ss per day. >��������� The foregoing are the main points of difference, but there are a large number of minor issues that require adjustment, which singly do not amount to much, but tnk- n collectively means . very much to the men. In addition to these, there is no guarantee of the permanency of any agreement. The men feel as if they were standing an a load of powder which is liable to explode at any time. They havo to bo continually on their gir'rd to protect themselves from ;<--iiy attempts \"to reduce their ������.\\,i-s or add to t'hc wore i:o.y li ing- performed by hem Jr- dojs not appear to be a question of how much profit-can be made in .-in lting the ores. . It is eviileWlybne of'if \"we can produce 1000 pounds of coppc- with 200 men at. $3, would, it not be cheap'er io produce. 500 pounds of copper with 200 Hum at $2.99 per day. That the conip toy's position is a weak one, is thown by the fact that they resorted to boosting their side of the case through the press, by getting out a special number of the Boundary Cree'c Times Saturday last. The Lbd:ik was also asked to get out a special stating the company's side, but refused. It may also be noticed in the two statements published above that th'e company deals in gciier- alitKs and the men'particularize. In other words, the company say in a general way that they have lived op to the agreement of May last, the men give particular instances in which the company have violated the terms of their agree- in --lit. Business men of the city are distrusted. No sensible business man would attempt to do business along the linos followed by the manager of the smelter. A merchant cannot do business by antagonizing hi-i employees; neither can a smelter manager. It is hoped that there will bo no necessity for a .strike, as it is said Mr. Kcffcr has taken control, and any agreement entered into by him will be, carried out to the smallest detail. But if there is ��������� a strike, now is the time to win it. Tho intolerable state of affairs in the paut six. months cannot continue. If it is to bo a strike, it will probably be a long and bitter one. provided there is j(not a change of management-. Any talking should be done in ,tbo union rooms only. Neither tho street nor the saloon is 'tho phcc.for expressions of opinion as to how the strike is or should be conducted. The executive committee should do any talking that is done outside the union rooms. Ilemembor 'that a strike cannot bo won by booze except it remains in the bottles. Keep away .from the company's properly. The farther the better. At any time some foolish or vicious person may, through folly or to injure tlie tho union, do damage to property. - Nelson There was1 1'4 degrees' of frost Sunday morning, and the straw- icrry season is over.

Lewis Hinds, :if Vancouver, who is operating the antimony claims up the North Fork of Carpenter Creek, is working tlie' old Great Western mine at MeGuigau with very satisfactory results. This property is situated about a quarter of a mile below the Washington, and has been practically closed down for the past eight years, al-' though Geo. Turner, one of the shareholders in tlie Great Western company, did a little development work last year and the season before. Seven or eight men are at present employed at the mine and a car of ore is ready for shipment. There is considerable concentrating ore in the Great Western, and a custom mill iu the neighborhood would prove a good thing for the property. A large amount of Great Western ore was put through the old Washington mill when it was running. Although there is little to be heard about the Rambler-Cariboo just now, the carefully laid plans of development are being steadily carried out. All the available- forces at the command of the management are being concentrated up in the difficult task of upraising, from the long tunnel to the old workings. It will be several weeks yet beforo this is completed. To secure good air is one of the problems that -confronts Mr. Zwieky, and the higher tho upraise goes, the moro perplexing becomes -the problem. The continuation of the main tunnel to tap the lead beJow where tho strike was made a- fow months ago has been abandoned until such time as the upraise has been finished.

This paper is in a position to state that the nominations for the provincial legislature will bo held a week from Wednesday and the elections a week following. ��������� ur reasons for making this statement are as follows : 1.

The Similkameen Liberals have, in convention assembled, passed resolutions of confidence in Sir Laurier, Duncan Boss, Fielding's honesty, Hyman's purity, Tcmpleman s Grand Trunk telegrams, and the forced ballot box. All- these signs and portents would indicate that a general election will be held two weeks from Wednesday.

Again, these human furnaces, after the freezing process, cannot be cleared with charges of dynamite. The management of the Greenwood smelter is sufficiently conversant with the business in which he is engaged to understand bur allusion, and sufficiently intelligent and broad- minded to devize some method and carry it into effect by which the human ' furnaces will not be continually freezing up. We might take up the economic side of the question, but we give the management of the smelter credit of being shrewd enough to know that one contented worker is worth two discontented ones. A few cents a day extra to men in responsible positions, may avert hundreds of dollars of loss. For instance, it is very necessary that a large number of the men employed about thc smelter should not- have wage difficulties to contend with. Their undivided attention is necessary to carry the ore through the several processes from the bins uutil it has passed through the converter. In some of these refilling processes a few seconds means the loss or the saving to the company of hundreds or thousands of dollars. If the men are continuously expecting 5 cents here or 10 cents there taken from their wages, or a half- or an hour added to their time, they a;-e not likely to take that interest in their work which they otherwise would if conditions were more favorable.

The working men of England appear to be growing envious of their lucky brethren whom they sent tc parliament. The Kt. Hon. John Burns has just moved out of thc modest bouse in which he has spent mauy happy years, iuto one of a kind befitting his dignity and salary.

Copper company's smelter and the men, owing it is said to slight infractions of the agreement made last May. That a serious difficulty Bboiild arise would be unfortunate for all the parties interested, and it is hoped that the questions at issne can be settled without recourse to a strike. It is particularly unfortunate that Frederic Keller, M. E., the consulting engineer for the company, {3 not in a poaitien to deal directly with the men employed at the smelter. It may bo safely stated that the greater number of strike.-! in the United States and Canada are caused more through want of confidence in the management than from conditions actually existing. With a superintendent or manager of a large coucern in whose honor and word the men can place implicit confidence, the little difficulties are easily smoothed over, or more often ovet looked. Therefore, it is particularly unfortunate that the employees of the smelter cannot take their grievances direct to Mr. Koffer, %nd settle them for all time. The policy in vogue since' the present manager took charge of tho smelter is one that cannot be commended by outsiders, or that will gain tbe confidence or respect of the men employed by tbe com- pauy.

Here is a chunk of wisdom from an eastern publication, which applies in every point to prevailing j conditions in the the entire Sump-1 ter district, and should be read and digested by a host of people: Why do mining companies that have good properties invariably experience Buch difficulties and bo many setbacks before getting on a paying basis? is a most natural question, one often asked by the investor and prospective mine owner. There are indeed few of tbe successful companies of today that did not have a severo struggle for existence at some time in their youth, and perhaps were closed down one or more times on account of financial difficulties, or dissatisfaction among their owners. Of course, thc aim and end of every company is to establish a dividend paying tuine. To bring tlis about a vein of ore sufficient in size and richness is the first requisite. Then, after the capital necessary to properly develop the prospect is assured, comes the point on which binges the future of tbe company. Three-fourths of tbe failures in the mining field can be traced to this one factor���������improper management. Large bodies of ore are to be found iu many districts that are practically untouched, although years ago elaborate expert reports showed that thousands of toiiB of ore were \"in sight,''and careful estimates at? to the cost of extraction and reduction-showed a handsome balance on the right side of the lodger; and yet, after a few months, or possibly years, of de- development work, tbe propositions have been abandoned.

Tho order may have grated a little harsh'y on the linger tips of the old-time compositors, who held to their precedents mach more closely, than a lawyer in his attempts to find an excuse to \"do\" you. Those were the days when good men traveled to 6ee the country, gain experience and'a livlihood at the same time. Every office has a sublist, and the stranger with an ability to stick up twelve or fourteen thousand ems a night was welcome in an office with open arms given a \"night on\" or a frame if he'd take i*\". Every night saw some new compa in tbe long rows of frames under the green shaded gas lights, pegging away for diiar life to lift a respectable string, and in the morning many of these strings were cashed up for 86 or 87 and the recipients were soon on trains for the Spy at Worcester,the Journal at Providence, or the Herald in Boston, a good, cleanly, sober lot of fellows, who took pleasure in traveling and paying their way by honest toil, much as Bayard Taylor, Artemus Ward, Mark Twain, G. B. Lewis, and Bret Harte did. One night a thoughtful looking compositor raised on his toes in an alley iu the Kepublican office after he had put his first take of copy on his cap case, and asked the compositor in the next alley, \"What are the shop rules of capitalization?

There wouldn't be so much room at the top if the stairs were easier to climb. Never call a man a fuol unless you know he is fool enough to stand for it.
