Alexander Ross was beset by
labor troubles. There was a wage
question, as represented by the
price paid for beaver fur. There
was, too. a jurisdictional dispute
with reverse application; his Iro-
quois hunters had not engaged to
shovel snow, but to trap. Since
wilderness trapping party must be
ruled by discipline Of almost mill
tary strictness, there was also
mutiny. And there was some plain,
pure ornerineSS
TOO, there was a new atmosphere in
wilderness commerce. The Hudson's
Bay Co. no longer held feudal con-
troll of territory and servants In the
traditional manner, and his authority
could not be enforced as strongly as
it once had been. Ross knew that.
The Northwest Co. had won the de-
cision on the showdown at Winnipeg
Bay Co. had invited a merger. with
the leaders of the Northwest Co. in
the saddle.
Free Trappers Were Independent
And there was that new element
the American free trappers. They were
a lusty, devil-may-ca crew, independ-
ent as a beaver In midstream, owing
allegiance to no one but themselves,
and shifting that loyalty to another
group when they saw fit. 1t was these
Americans who had tainted the Hud-
sons Bay Co. servants with the idea
Of higher prices for the furs they
caught.
Ross had to admit the justice of
the price contention. He had gone to
the Pacific coast at the beginning of
the American fur era, following the
Astor's crew. When the Northwest Co.
took ever Astor's outfit at the mouth
of the Columbia, Ross went with the
Canadians. Then he came to the Hud-
sons Bay Co. with the merger. He had
the American outlook, and, when 1t
became necessary, conceded that Hud-
sons Bay Co. prices were s.i too f lST;
and with craft and bluff and schem-
ing he won through against mutiny
