HAD Been ON FOR
EIGHT MONTHS
Strike of Western Canadian
Miners at an End.
CABINET OFFICIAL AIDS

Minister of the Interior Takes a Hand
In the Dispute and a Settlement Is
Quickly Reached-Agreemen Must
Be Approved by Referendum Vote of
the Men, but All Are Said to Be
Satisfied.
Lethbridge, Alta, Oct. 2S.-The
strike of the coal miners of Eastern
British Columbia and Alberta, which
has been in progress for nearly eight
months, is at an end and in the
course of few days every one of the
twenty-five mines in the district will
be in operation again, with 1900 men
at work.
The end of the strike was brought
about through the efforts of Hon Rob
ert Rogers, minister of the interior,
who came to Lethbridge Wednesday
to meet both parties to the long stand
ing dispute and ascertain if something
could not be done toward effecting a
settlement. He had a number of con-
ferences with representatives of the
operators and the men and as a re-
suit the whole position is to be sub
mitted to a referendum vote of the
miners union. The settlement un-
doubtedly will be approved by all.
Basis of Settlement
The basis of the settlement is said
to be the Gordon award as to wages,
recognition of the check-off system
slight changes in the wage schedule
particularly regarding the contract
work agreement, for a term of three
and half years.
The award of the conciliation board
of which Charles Gordon was chair
man, will apply as to wages an in
i crease of 10 per cent. The whole set
tlement is a compromise but is favor
able to the men.
The magnitude of the strike may be
imagined when ii is stated that since
the first Of April twenty-five mines
have been shut down and $500 meI
have been out of employment The
mines represent an invested capital o.
| 40,000,000. while the monthly payroll
of the men totals in the neighborhooc
| of $1,000 Business in all of the
mining centers was considerably in
jured by the closing down of the col
lieries, no one class escaping.

This query is often heard where

These questions are asked YOU thru

possibly the results do not show on

The few members that have kept in
