Mr.. Bradley, former owner of the tract
of timber north and west of town, had
promised to donate portion of the same
to the city for park purposes. Mr..
Bradley did not live to carry out his in
tention and the land is now the property
of the Blackwell interests 1t would
make beautiful park and the matter
of securing portion of it for that pur-
pose should be taken up by our citizens

Fight to Retain Jobs.

The international officers of the
brotherhood of Electrical Workers,
who were deposed by the special CON
Vention at st, Louis few weeks ago.
are not going to give up without
fight. Grand Secretary Collins last
Friday secured a temporary injunction
against Grand President Reid, Grand
Secretary Murph.. Grand Treasurer
Sullivan and othe officers recently
elected at ST. LOIS TO restrain them
from taking possession of books and
records. Collins charges an attempt
t1 usurp his office; claims ne is the
duly elected grand secretary; that he
has $91, 1000 OF the Brotherhood money
on deposit and vouchers for $400, 900
expended. He charges that Grand
Treasurer Sullivan obtained certain
records by fraudulent means. The OF
ficers claim the charges are ground
less.

of This Kind.


Of This Kind.
A few weeks ago the little city Of
Fernie, B. c., was totally destroyed
by fire. Among the victims of the fire
were eight members of the Interna-
tional Typographical Union who were
affiliated with Cranbrook Union No.
45O, some distance away. Five of the
eight were heads of families, and all
were left homeless and destitute. and
no work in sight, because every news
paper and job Office in the town was
wiped out. The facts were wired to
International headquarters, and before
tie ruins had quit smoking the execu-
tive council OF the International Typo
graphical Union wired $500 for the
relief of the stricken printers.
This is only one of thousand cases
that are taken care of in SIMILAR way
every year by the trades unions of the
country. Why not judge trades union
ism by this standard a while? And
can anything offered by Post, Parry
and Van Cleave beat it?

THE LIGHT is BREAKING.
4 Court Has at Last Decided in Favor
Of Organized Labor.

4 Court Has at Last Decided in Favor
Of Organized Labor.
One ray of light has recently shot
into the sky Of midnight blackness
which has overhung organized labor
because of the attitude of the courts
toward the movement and the trend
OF their decisions where it was in
volved. The supreme court of Mon
tana, in late decision in the case of
Lindsey &. Co. VS.. The Montana State
Federation of Labor, held tnat the
distribution of a circular urging all
laboring men and persons in SYM
pathy with organized labor to with
hold patronage from plaintiffs was not
Illegal because the plaintiffs had no
property right in the trade of any
particular person; and that although
decisions have been rendered which
make the same act, which is lawful
when done by several, on the theory
that concerted action amounts to a
conspiracy, an individual clothed with
O. right when acting alone does not
lose such right merely by acting with
others, each of whom has the same
right; and that if a labor organization
employs boycott, the means of its
enforcement being legal, the courts.
can not assist the persons boycotted.
This is the common sense Of the
matter, and therefore ought to be
everywhere in this country what the
supreme court of Montana has made
it for that state-the governing legal
rule. 1t is the very essence and sub
stance of what labor has claimed, and
the fact that it now has high official
sanction in one great state gives hope
that it may soon have the same in
many others and in the country gen
orally, in spite of all the opposition of
self-interested corporations and self
seeking politicians. The decision en-
bodies basic principle of human
freedom, which even the partisan
courts have universally recognized in
all cases except those in which organ
ICED labor mas been party. That
he labor movement alone, of all the
combinations of men in the land, has
