British Columbia Mines
Closed by Labor Troubles

Fernie, B. c., Jan. 1.-THE mines
here are idle today as are also those
at Bellevue and Frank, with possibil-
| ity that Blairmore as well is idle.
Michel, Coleman, Carbondale and
other Pass Comps continued working to-
day and cessations are not probable un-
til the men receive information as to
the suggested settlement of the war
bonus increase.
The cause for the stoppage here is
attributed to the fact that the men de-
sire the full report from Vice President
Biggs, who has been present at the
Ottawa negotiations, although they
were advised yesterday that the re-
suit was 91a per cent increase in
earnings. A mass meeting of Fernie
miners was held last evening, with g.
Graham, district president; Thomas
Biggs. vice president; and A. J. Car
ter, secretary, attending, All matters
pertaining to the proposed settlement
were presented to the meeting, and the
officers urged return to work, but
the final decision of the meeting by
more than two to one was that work
be suspended till receipt of definite
assurance from the government regard
ing the application of the bonus.
Frank local adopted similar resou-
tion today while Bellevue decided to
return to work till Sunday pending re-
eeipt of complete information.

bearing, sensitive and timid. were CON
sidered i'll turn and methods of appeal
to each class suggested. Women were
then compared with men and children
as customers were considered. How
to size up the customer, that their
wants may be quickly and correctly
supplied was the next subject, after
which: the spirit that brings success;
being friend of the store earning the
confidence of others; cooperation with
other salespeople and the buyer; and
store personality, were in turn con
sidered. Tonight there win occur the
monthly members meeting of the Com

will speak on the general subject of
salesmanship. This will be held in the
auditorium of the Commercial Club at

neighbor of his who had a nice little
peach orchard in beaver neighborhood.
He thoughtlessly left the orchard out
one night with no one to watch it and
the next morning "a of the 100 trees

says the farmer went down to the dam
and called the boss beaver out and ask

he was close observer Of the law and
consequently would not violate the kix

the trees had curl leaf and had come
down to the creek themselves in order
to soak the kinks out of their foliage
over night. The boss beaver also assert
ed the trees had borers, San Jose scale,
gummosis. cirrhosis of the liver, paresis
and lumbago; and besides were Il

er complained any more he would take
him before Judge Belt in an action for

prove the corpus deficit. He said lots of
other things the farmer could neither
understand nor remember and the latter
invited Lafferty to go down and talk
to him. Lafferty refused. Instead be
