A TERRIBLE VISION. : :

A most, dang: y of

was so given to the orders of union|
committees and theirsréliance on the
union had become great that
their sense of what was due ‘to their
remployes had become, greatly weak-
ened... This was a.very mild way. of

| stating very serious facts.

As to the ‘undesirable class of
aliens,” their coming. was_as great
a surprise to the mine-owners as to
the miners, and the union officials
soon satisfied . themselves that. their
coming was due to.the act of an un-
scrupulous labor agent, and not to
the mine-owners.

The Tribune goes on to admit
some of the evils which often grow
out of labor unions, when ‘ their

mine-owners in Rosstand has- been
discovered by the Nelson ~Tribune,
which paper says the purpose of the
mine-owners is to ‘‘free themselves
from the dictation of union -:labor.”
It then gives the’ points of an-in-
dictment 4s proof ‘that sucha con-
Spiracy exists. These - are: the
secret meeting of mine-owners last-
D. ber; the stop of: prod:

tion and the reduction of the work-
ing force; the circulation of: reports
intended to damage the “credit /of
the :merchants of Rossland; the
binding together of the storekeepérs
in an organization; the patroling-of
the properties by special police, and
the circulation of reports of: conspi-
racy among the -workingmen; the

sudden -app in ‘Rosslaiid of

talls into bad hands,

or other deep and diabolical plot-

One of these is -the projected line

another is under construction from
Gibraltar to the Cape; and a third

‘| the Rossland district." The mine-

owners are represented as having
the alternative plan of substituting
“ta beastly mob’ of garlic-eating
aliens from the* slums of Europe”
tor their present force of workmen.
This is.a,terrible. conclusion. to draw
from the steps taken by -the , Ross-.

tand mine-owners to put. their busi-

ness on.a sound fuoting and by the

large bodies of the most, undesirable
class of aliens. :
The Tribune has.’ a happy: faculty’
of shutting its eyes to one: set; of
facts-.and: drawing unwarranted
conclusions from other: facts byid

-A SUBMARINE: EMPIRE,

- The Boer war has revealed the
great power. of the British empire in
‘more'ways than one... Though al-
most-every hation-in Europe is eag-
ter to see ‘her downfall, Britain's
navy'‘alone‘is sufficient to hold them
at bay while she restores her’ dis-
puted'supremacy 7ooo miles from
home, That navy is enough not

to guard her merchant marine and

higher cost until it wasina po #-
tion-to‘resume at a lower cost, that
is evidence of good business judg-
ment, got of conspiracy.

The reports as to the credit - of
merchants ‘applied to those of. .all
mining ‘ sections affected by the
eight-hour law, a long strike in the
Slocan and the entire stoppage. of
further eastern investments in other
sections having been the direct. re-
sult of that law, and having natu-.
