Let's Clear the Air Too much has been said by labor on generalities as compared with the too little said by the who meet the payrolls in the basic industry which gives this community its existence and who are in most cases but one step removed from the men they hire, says Prince George Citizen edi-torally. "Fair and adequate wages" has a resounding appeal worthy of fullest ;support. They should ensure the worker a square deal. But when higher than "fair and adequate" wages are sought, the employer's position and that of the consuming purchaser, or in other words, the market, should be considered so that a proper balance might be struck. . Jf labor would present the facts WHAT to show how higher wages per hour and less hours per week will increase production, demonstrate the mechanical improvements that are desirable in industry for the same purpose, and ensure that disciplinary action would be taken against loafing and slacking union members, their stand could be made much firmer. If the "boss man" would become a little less stiff-necked and show the problems he wrestles with, such as costs, the break-down of what is entailed in operations, the effect of reduced hours and increased wages, ;there would be a better understand? ing and appreciation. At present there is a measure of intolerance which -denies the public a clear picture on which 'to form an unbiased opinion. -A good deal of the uneasiness which has crept into the public mind over present labor disputes might well be despatched if both parties to the dispute would lift the veil. In the final analysis it is the public who are involved, for the entire economy qi British Columbia Is subject to the outcome of negotiations between the International Woodworkers of America (C.I.O.) and B.C. lumbermen. Prince Rupert Need (Bein? one of a series of suggestions by readers of the Daily News for the betterment of this city). ; Prince Rupert needs, In my opinion, and that of various other persons I have talked to on the subject, better places of j entertainment. We expect, and '.hope ' lor -tourist trade during jour summer months but what have we got to offer a stranger 'In the way of entertainment except two movies a week, poor ;dance halls and even, Sis a rule, 'have poor orchestration.

Forty-four members of the defeated "army" found themselves! lodged in an equally Impromptu open air "bull pen" which was run up on the spot Just back of the present Post Of flee where a lane now runs. The battle, fought on April 6, 1911. near where the Central Hotel now stands, began when some 500 Tstrlklng city street building construction workers took violent measures to remove a small group of strikebreakers. The law and a number of citi zens went 'to the assistance of the weaker group. ' "There was," said a contem porary report in The Optimist, forerunner of the Dally News, "hardly a word of good, clean English spoken from 'Hie ranks of the strikers. "Five hundred men," said The Optimist, "made a fierce attack with rocks and guns on & few strikebreakers and were pluck- Sergeant Phlllipson and Con stables Mansell, Morrison, Mc-Arthur and Leek. Forty -four strikers were arrested and a "bull" pen was hastily run up on Government Square for their accommodation." Officially wounded were Nick Pavich, serious; Blago Mulavich and Mike Sekovich, strikers; Sgt. Phlllipson, W. A. Casey, George Leek, S. H. Watson and William "Watson, the latter five being special constables and citizens. Mr. Casey, who was a young construction engineer, had n finger shot off by a bullet. Sgt. Phlllipson "got Into a light cor ner for a moment or so and had a bullet wound across the temple from a striker's revolver." "It was In the rush up the hill to the sergeant's assistance," the Optimist continued, "that the fiercest passage of the tussle was fought. It seemed for a moment that the mass of the mob would force the defending police and citizens over the bluff and a dozea fights raged at once." The battle had a large num ber 'of reprecussions in the law courts, six of the strikers ending up in jail in the south for periods ranging from six to J8 months.

By GEO, B. CASEY 1 Come all you workers If you want tfi:hp:ir. To feed our families we 'had to get more. In a little old church upon the hill, A union was formed that is remembered still; Prince Rupert Industrial Association was.the union's name And at the Kelly Cut Battle It won Its fame. Some members were from Sweden, and some Came 'from Spain; others came from'Servla, And the State of 'Maine; Ireland had her quota', England had a few; Scotland had her number, And Italy too. In that Union we had some men Who could coin you a nickel from an old hair ;pln; All went well up lo that day, When trom a parade a few did stray, To a Scabby Spot along theway; Within a minute a battle did slajt, And as a Union all .took.part. Some threw rocks, others had a gun, Bellcve me or not, it was no fun. All mations were at war. And missiles Hew; police came running, And arrested quite a few. A 'bull pen was built, Our boys placed Inside; A court was then held, And many took a ride. To the pen they were. sentenced, up to seven years. If you:had atieart It would drive you to tears. The result of that battle never will die, In the 'ht arts. of Old Timers lt still does lie. A wage scale was established, and there did remain, Until the workers moved and revised it again.

There are in the city loduv. it is understood, veterans of that battle who would lie entitled wear combat ribbons and draw pensions if such rewards had been given out by 'the lvlc-T fluttering, the Essington created I will tell yoii'the story of,a great fn"t eet strnnded in the river r pioneer; Prince Rupert is the Pioneer's name; The way she started she won her fame. Her streets were of plank, her people of 'pluck, Who had gathered on the town site To try their luck. a picture reminiscent of Mark Twain's Mississippi In Its steamboat heyday or even the Skeena when Port Essington and Hazel -ton corresponded to New Orleans and St. Jo-lhe terminals of steamboat traffic. The Essington cut quite .a nostalgic figure,, tramping the harbor, trained iby a lazy plume of smoke. Except for the derrick on her bow, she might have been one of the early Skeena River steamboats which took supplies and passengers to Hazelton before the steel of Hip drand Trunk 'Pacific paralleled the river's course and pushed them Into disuse. As lt is, however, her purpose Is highly practical. Freshet conditions on the rivers in the spring bring down uprooted trees, some of enormous size, which more often than as the water level subsides, These snags are dangerous to the hulls of fishing vessels and other traffic and can cause fishermen considerable expense if their nets get' caught in them. The Esslngton's Job is to remove these snags from the rivers. This year the Essington prob ably will follow the procedift e of Tile railroad was coming, and I former years by going up the that we knew, Our .hopes were many but our dollars few; A, port was to open lo world wide trade, A lot then 'held was a fortune mode.
