Ralph Smith, M.P.P. for Nanai- mo, who is recognized as the leader of the labor element in the prov- ince and is now endeavoring to ar- |. ‘| range a settlement of the conditions of work at the mines in this city, threw a great deal of light on the labor situation in the province in an interview with a Recorp representa- tive this morning. He said: ] “The people on the island gener- ally do not favor party lines. They would be more favorably inclined towards them if Mr. Martin were not at the head of the Liberal move- ment.

A dispatch from that port, in the second edition of the Times, de- clares the Boers are using natives from the mines to construct trench- es around Johannesburg, adding that the mines are expected to shut down owing to the military de- mand for Kaffir labor. Brilish Prisoners Well Treated. Durban, Match 26.—William Cox, a newspaper correspondent, who was released from imprison- ment at Pretoria, has arrived here. He adds his testimony to the stories of the good treatment of the prison- ers by the Transvaat authorities, though the subordinates sometimes bj d the. capti to Mr. Cox saw Secretary Reitz and says he has evidently worried at the turn of events.: ces. Bebels Did Not Come to the Front. Prominent persons at the Trans- vaal capital bitterly accuse Mr. Hof- meyer, the Afrikander leader, and Premier Schreiner of deserting them. They say they expected a hundred thousand Cape Colonists ‘] to join the republics. Gen. Joubert is apparently sus- pected of half-heartedness, ann Mr. Cox gathered that his life would be in danger at the hands of the irate burghers if Pretoria should be be- sieged. At Delagoa Bay, Mr. Cox saw well known Transvaal secret service Agents purchasing and forwarding all kinds of goods to the Transvaal. y ROR Printing & of every description executed with neatness and dispatch at the... a The Record anything ds putting up candi- dates on the island. I suppose he is waiting for the result of the -pro- vincial Liberal convention on April 5th. ‘Up to the present time ihe Cot- ton party is intact, both on the is: land and on the maioland. If party lines are decided on, the tendency would be for the out-and-out Lib- erals and Conservatives to fail into line and leave a faction of the Cot- ton party independent.. Though more or less allied with the Cotton party at present, I am more or less independent at any time and will be entirely independent, if party lines are insisted on. I find the feeling here pretty good towards the Cotton party, but I find a stroug feeling on the part of the labor element to have an ind repr There is no reason why they should not, as much as Nanaimo, for you could get a strong, intelligent man who would deal fairly with the in- terests of all classes. “If party lines are drawn, the i in- ‘dependent movement will be practi- cally an independent labor move- ment and it is my intention, in that case, to use my influence in favor of an independent labor party. Nanai- mois a foregone conclusion and they have decided to put up four labor in V: ere There is no further organization en that line, because we are simply waiting to see what will be doue with partyism. As far as 1 can see, we can have seven, sight or nine members in the house and practical- ly hold the balance of power, Whether the Cotton party stays in the field or not, there may be ldbor candidates, for the workingmen. do not agree with Cotton any more than with Martin. So far as “the eight-hour law is concerned, the in- fluences the workingmen have to watch are the bona fide Tory infiu- ences. That was seen on the floor ofthe house last session. The maintenance of that law can only be hoped for from the Cotton party on the one hand and the Martin party on the other, as against the old Turner party and the Conserva- tive party. *I do not see that there is any way of amending that law, for eight]. hours is enough for any man to work underground. All that is re- quired is to have the conditions outside of the operation of the law itself properly adjusted, From what I hear,! believe that there is a great deal to be complained of in regard to the management: waste has been placed by the own- ers of the mines to the debit of the eight-hour law, if the operation of the mines were as it should be, it | would be found that the manage- ment was at fault. _If there is any disadvantage at all from the en- forcement of the law, it would be found in the working of prospects. “In my connection with labor unions, the greatest disadvantage I have had to encounter has been the f While this | f extreme language of some leaders, and outbreaks of lawless violence, such as have characterized labor movements ib the past.” AN APOLOGY TO UNCLE SAM.
