Emile Basly is the
''mitChell of France. y


PARIS, March 19.--The most prom
inent labor leader of France Is Emile
Basly. the head of the coal miners
union. He is called the Mitchell Of
France, though he has been less sue
cessful than his American prototype.
The men In his union are among
the toughest and most unruly Of
French workmen. and it is to Basly's
credit that he has, in recent strikes,
kept them in hand and almost en-
tlrely prevented drunkenness and riot.
In the strike he was nominally de-
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1903-03-19

Basly did win, however, was to con-
vince the French people that the
miners were quiet, law-abiding men,
with real grievance.
Before his time strikes had always
been marked by riot and bloodshed.
and popular sympathy was almost
invariably against the strikers. This
time Basly enforced a rule through
all the unions that the men must keep
in their own houses and not visit the
wineshops or hang about the mouth
of the coal pit. His authority with
the men was tremendous, and was
based purely upon his intelligence
and ability.
He is not at all the average type
of labor leader, being a small man,
with refined manner, in fact, hav-
ing more the appearance of an au-
thor. but the miners of France swear
by him and obey him implicitly.
He was born in 1854, and as soon
as he became of age interested him
self in the labor arguments and la
Dor politics. His home is in Calais,
and for many years he has been
mayor of Lens, as well as deputy of
the national chamber in Paris.
In his district there are 10000 coal
miners, and Basly is said to know
every one of the 10000 personally,
50 as to be able to call them by
their first names and ask after their
families. TO this extraordinary feat
of memory he undoubtedly owes
much of his popularity. Though de-
feated in the recent contest, Basly is
not discouraged, and now that he
has the ear of France to the wrongs
of his people, he has comforted him
self with ultimate success. The fact
that his friend. Gaures, has been
elected vice president of the French
chamber is an indication of the
strides the labor movement is making
in France.
