Some mine owners chatter about un;
derground-work, in the mines asif it
was a parlor job, and ought to be. paid
for accordingly. The death of poor
‘Archie McGregor yesterday in the
Columbia and Kootenay, which follows
many other caaualties, is evidence
enough that provisions should be made
‘for-shorter hours and better pay than
others employed about a mine.

A GAME OF CHESS,

But It {s Reported by a St, Lou's Baseball

‘
A St. Louis baseball reporter was sent,
toreport a game of chess, and this is
how he did it:
A very interesting game of cheaa was
played last night at Library hall be-
tween the Whites and the'Blacks, Mac,
enptaured tha Whites una Smith the
Blacks. The evening was quite plese-
unt and the diamond juntas smooth 47
folish-and varnish could make it. ‘The
services of an umpire were dispensed
with ans Mac, having won the toge for
the Whiteg, gent a little one out for two
pes precisely ut 8 o'clock, This) move
was followel by a similur one .on the
part of the Blacks, who sent out # ehort-
atop two pegs before a (all party by the
wane of King, A directeur by the name
of Bishop then got in adaizy to’ left for
four place and stopped. This was dard-
wdone before a ely old horga called
Knight too a Jeap over a rew of short-
stops, technically known us pawns, and
landed-on a third bag, Suon after Queen
gut in a eky-seraper to right and touk in
five aquares. Then the game grew hot.
‘Tho pawn family made euch” lightning
step# thata bishop gut picked up and
had to retire. ‘The King, guarded by
Queen, staid at ‘home base.” A Knight
who got his eye on her tried to catcher,
hut waa neatly “taken in”? and retired
by apawn.. The Blacks did some aplen-
did base. running, and Mac fielded the
W. hites brexcellent etyle. King did no
cept when romebody hollered
k;” then he would tip a fair f-ul
ind go one square. Finally, after @
sharp contest of three hours, the Black
King said bis wind was out und he could
keep the field no longer, so the Whites
won the gamo by the following score,
after must of the men had been removed
froma the feld, The winning of the game
was largely due to Mac’s Jud-gment in
handling his. men. In the appended
score “M,” stands for mate, “C” for
cheeks accomplished, “PB. G.” for picce
gobbled, and “Tr. P.”’ for times put off
the diamond.

The mine uwners of the Slocan are re-
ported to have for eda combination to
deprive members of the miner's anion
from employment. The question tight
he asked, if the owners of mines in. the
lucan find it to their advantage to or-
ganize protective. agscociations, why
should the miners of the Slocan he -de-
barred from organizing miner's unions?
Canada is a free country and ne part of
ivi under martial law. More: when
the mine owners of the Slocan adopt the
methods of the military satraps who are
now ruling the Coour d'Alenes, they may
tind that there isa law.in Canads that
will protect Canadian workingmer froin
the tyranny of the alien mine owners of
the Slovan. It is notso long ago that
moat of the purse-proud mine owners
and wanagers now operating in the Slo-
van were jumping sideways to get. enough
money to pay their grocery bills and
riow they want to dictate who shall work
lor wages in the country that has shel-
tered them.—Nelson Tribune.
