VIOLENCE VERSUS DEMOCRACY.

San Francisco, Cal.-Says the Bulletin

tiers as well as on the Pacific Coast.
unskilled and semi-skilled labor is not
hired, but bought, at going wage
fixed without regard to the cost of liv-
ing and almost invariably lower than the
cost of decent living.
Such conditions lead inevitably to-
ward the use of force by both sides The
employers bring in private armies, hired
from agencies which make business of
training and equipping such armies, and
the workingmen retaiate. Ordinarily
the workingmen get the worst of it, first
because they are not trained to kill, as
the hired gunner are, and second, be-
cause the machinery of the law is almost
always used with prejudice against them.
violence in labor disputes points
straight to the ancient truth that when
men are subjected to what they con-
slider intoerable tyranny they will fight.
The armed peace, between strikes in
Colorado, breeds violence because it is
in the miners mind the peace of op-
preston, not the peace of Justice
Every employer who sees the inevi-
table trend toward democracy and yields
to it will be working for peace and for
prosperity; but the employers who put
their shoulders against the current are
working against peace and against pros
perity.'

TESTING DISPUTES ACT.

Vancouver, B. C.-The Canadian In
dustrial Disputes Act is undergoing a
practical test in Vancouver The cleo
trical workers are determined to see
whether any justice can be obtained for
the workers under it. The working
agreement the electrical workers had
with the British Columbia Electrical
Company expired June 30. The men
requested a renewal of the old agree
ment. The company offered 10 per cent
reduction and unsatisfactory working
conditions. Pending the negotiations the
company discharged number of cleo
tricians and the men believe that
Section So of the Industrial Disputes
Act has therefore been violated, in
which it provides that it shall be
unlawful for any employer to declare
or cause lockout on account of any
dispute prior to or during the reference
of such dispute to board of concilia-
ton under the provisions of the act.
Judge Shaw of Vancouver dismissed the
case in favor of the company. The elec-
tricians will carry the case to higher
court.

The New Empress theatre is open
again for season of Sullivan x Con-

vaudeville this is has been proved by
the general appreciation with which the
first weeks bill has been received. Man
ager George +. Fish has received in
Vulnerable compliments not only on the
opening bill, but upon the general spck
and span and artistic appearance of the
theater, which has been entirely reno
waited.
Next weeks bill will be of equal ex-
cellence, compared to that of the opener.
In fact, it presents some features OF brill
liant character representing entirely new
departures.
Hawthorne's Minstrel Maids, sex
tette of pretty girls and two comedian
end men who are "colored but not born
that way" are the headliners. They
manage to mix melody and merrment IN
abundant and pleasing quantities. The
rest of the bill is of headline calibre-
each act being star feature. There
are Les Dicdattis, Partisan models with
decidedly original ideas, the perfection
of beautiful art posing - girls whose
forms are physical perfection in them,
selves. Then there are Evans Lloyd
and Grace Whitehouse, two well-known
funmakers and travestists, who have al
ways appeared in the best vaudeville
circles, who have an act that is the
laugh of lfetime-"2Oth Century Nut

singer and yodler, who, among other
things, does an imitation of Fred
Stones famous rope dance in cowboy
makeup; Adele Oswald, dainty musical
comedy star, who will be assisted by
Jerry Jarnagin in "non-musical come,
die" which comprises an unique and
wholly pleasing combination of vocal ar,
tistry; and Captain Tiebors Educated
Seals and Sealions, funny fellows from

whole show in themselves. And last
but not least. will be a reel of "furiousll
