The Truck Act.

Victoria, April 16—To the editor of
the Rossland Evening Record, dear sir:
I wish to summon the attention of all
workinginen and of all haters of opprea-
sion and wrong to tho bill called the
“Truck act, 1898,” introduced by Mr.
Kellie. It is based word for word, for the
most part, on the old Imperial truck act
of 1831 (in force in this province but
seldom enforced, more is the shame)
amalgamated with the still more strin-
gent ts made by I jal
truck amendment act, 1887.

It is aimed at the shameful tyranny

and plunder done to by mine
owneré, contractors, foremen and others
who compel their workmen to deal at
their shops and board at their boarding
houses. To such an extent is this shame-
ful abuse grown that it is said to be ac-
tually difficult around Rossland for a
married man to get work; the mine ow-
ners insist on the men boarding at their
shacke; forthe scurvy profit ‘of ranning
them. But the mere loss and robbery
of the workmen is the least of the evil,
the workman is wholly in the boss’s
hands—and especially where a married
man, a coal miner say, once runs 1n debt
at the boss’s store then with hia whole
sliving from day to day and trom month
to month entirely dependent both wages
and credit on the grace of the boss, and
no other employment perhaps within
hundreds of miles you have real slavery.
The treatment of stheir workmen by
the contractors for the Vittoria city wa
ter works is well known. Eighty men
were crowded on bunks three and four
deep in a stinking little shack “full of
holes, with-their working overalls, reek-
ing with the foul lake mud, hanging by
the bunkeide. They were charged’ $5 a
week whether there the fall week or
_ not, even when they went home from
Saturday to Ménday, and compelled to
submit on pain of dismissal. Many a
man brought home on Saturday but ¢2
or $1.25 to‘his family, all that the boas’s
extortion had left for a week’a work.
The bill, following the Imperial act,
directa in effect that every workman
shall be paid his wages in cash and: in
full, no matter what he owes his emplo--
yer. Tnere are a number of carefully
limited i things for which a
