The Courier, of Halifax, Fogland, contains the following interesting arti- James Parker, M.P., on the coal erisis and the minimum wage : The fight by the miners for a liviog minimum wage is engaging the atten' tion" of the enlire community at the present time. I do not proposes to deal in this column with the question in the ordinary newspaper style, but rather to put a few facts before my readers which are not generally known as to the real reason for this nation- al coal strike. Certain people are complaining about the quiet way in which the labour party are taking this matyr in the House ofl Commons. The reason is quite simple, and in no way a secret. We are acting in this matter in the fall knowledge of the miners' executive, and shall be quite willing to serve them in any way that will help them towards a settlement with their employers. Naturally, we desire a speedy settlement if it ean possibly be obtained, and have done all we could to help forward such a desirable end. These, however, are matiers that cannot be rushed or forced, and it is weil that the public should understand this fact. What Minimum Wage Means. The minimum wage for which the men are fighting and which is set out in the schedules of the various dis- triets, is already being received by at least seventy-five per cent. of the min- ers throughout the country, and if we take Scotland alone, probably not less than eighty-five per cent. of the men in that country are already earn- ing the minimum laid down in the Scotland schedules. The twenty-five per cent, who are not in receipt of the minimum are the men employed in ab- normal places, or working under con- ditions that render it impossible for them to earn the minimum, and, in many cases, leave the collier, after a hard week's' work almost without wages. The collier's wage is based upon a figure arrived at many years ago, plas percentages, The average in South Wales is, I think, at the pre- sent time 4s. 9d., plus fifty pér cent., a total of 7s, 1}d. In some places it is 5a, plus fifty per centymaking a total of 7s. 6d. How This Works Out. I will give a few simple facts to show how the miner was situated un. der the practice existing prior to the stoppage. The man who was employ- ed at a normal place was earning not only the average 7s, 1id., but in many cases considerably more. He will gain nothing if the entire de mands are conceded. This, taking the conl fields of Great Britain, applies roughly to seventy-five per cent. ol the men employed. The position of the remiulning twenty-five per cent. is very different, as 1 will endeavor ito illustrate. We will take three meun--A, B, and C, for purposes of illustra iing the position. A goes down the shaft 'n the morning, and con the way to his working place he is in- formed possibly that there has been a fall of the roof, and he may have to work all day, maybe all the week, clearing away the rubbish and mak- ing good his working place. In some cases he may have to pay a laborer to assist him, and at the end. of the week have nothing to draw, though he is a first-cl workman, and in no way to bla for the fall of the roof of his worllng place. This is one case. Now let us examine the case of B. Hla goes down the pit to his work. ing place, he gets his coal in suffi. cient quantity to provide him with the full wage or more, but is not supplied with sufficient tubs to take the conl away. He may have got sufficient coal to fijl four tubs, but owing to some oasmanagement alto gether outside bis sphere of opers. tions, he is only supplied with two, and instead of receiving 7s. 6d. lor his day's wage he only gets 3s. 9d. This nd of thing may go on in definitely, and the man's way is blocked to earn the minimum wage, and he goes out of the pit week after week with perhaps not more than 18s. to 2is. per week. If we take the case of C, the same results arise from quite a different cause. C may be working a couple or three miles from the shaft, and though he is quite se good a workman as a simi lar man working, say half a mile from the shaft, it is obvious that be is handicapped by five miles walking time. Or, again, the rails may nos be lald witliln a few yards of the coal face in his working place, and the fact of him halng to carry his reduce his earnings tly per cent, even though as a workman he is equal or superior to the men who are Saming the sainimum wage in other parts the pit. ---- Other Difficulties.

The miners' executive have refused to discass the figures of ythe schedules with the owners, even though the gov- ernment requested them to doi so. The reason they give is as follows : They have been ready to discuss the original schedules with the owners right up to February 7th of this year in the respective districts.

Ross Bell had the misfortune to syrain one of his knees. J. Black, who is worling on the CNR, at Yarker, spent Sunday at home. J. Cousins and Elliott Wagar are load ing hub timber at the B. of Q. rail way yards. Through Wales the men have endeavored to do so and without success, Before the | strike was entered upon the schedule were reduced to the average of the respective: distriets, and this is now held to be the lowest minimum. Hence the determination not to re-opén any discussion on schedules until the chief points are conceded. They are, how- ever, | think, prepared to justify their schedules to the government, and to which they are based and explain in every possible way how the figures have been arrived at. The statement by the miners' execu- tive that they have no desire that there should be any sympathetic strike furnish them with all the facts upon!

They are simply carrying out the instruc- tions, of the rank and file of their members, twenty-five per cent. of whom are unable to earn a decent livelihood. ; BABY TERRIBLY SCALDED. Doctor Agreed Zam-Buk Was "Rest Possible Treatment." Mrs. Albert Sawyer, of Nidland (Ont.), says: "While living in Brant- ford last winter my little son spilled a vessel of boiling water over his neck. He was terribly scalded, and we im- mediately called in a doctor. The treatment did not seem to give the child ease or heal the terrible scalds, so alter a week's trial we got some Zam-Buk and applied it. It gave the child ease aslmost immediately, and af- ter a few days' use the scalds seemed to be geiting along finely. "To make quite sure that all was right, however, we called in a second doctor. He said everything was going along splendidly, the scalds were heal- ing and the little one would soon be quite recovered. Then we told him Zam-Buk was what we were using, and he said we could use nothing het- ter. Zam-Buk worked a - complete cure." Mrs. S. Smith and Mrs. J. H. Tea- kle, of 73 Brock street, Brantford, who knew of the above accident, and what followed, write : "We certily that these facts are true in every detail." Mothers should know that for burns, cuts, scalds, bruises, eczema, piles, and all skin doseases, there is nothing to ual Zam-Buk, That was the opinion of the doctor connected with the above case, and is the opinion of hundreds of other doctors the world over.

His prinei- pal opponent was Mr. Cotterill, who was a prohibitionist, a single taxer, and a radical democrat, All the op- ponents of single tax and of munici- pal ownership combined with the champions of a wide-open town, ant in the primaries they gave Gill a ma- jority over Cotterill. The vote stood : Gill, 24,522; Cotterill, 14,420; Parish, 12,700; Wells( socialist), 10.802, Under the old system this would have ended the matter. But, under the new system, the two leaders had to fight it out again, and the result was that Cotterill heat Gill hy 665 votes. Thig result is attributed by the Springfield Republican largely to the women voters. The women led in the tation which led to the recall of Gill. The women elected Cotterill. hy machigery of the recall and the primaries helped to bring the force of public opinion into action.

Ottawa, March 29.--The scarcity of potatoes in Canada this year, and the consequent importation of tubers, may have a serious effect on the health of the consumers, and also on the future of potato growing in Can- ada. The trouble is the disease which exists in potatoes from Great Britain, Ireland and other European countries. A bulletin issued by H. T. Gussow, dominion botanist, at the experimen- tal farm, explains how potato canker has found its way across the Atlantic into Newfoundland, with potatoes im- ported. from Europe. P'otato canker, points out, is a disease at present unknown in Can- ada. It is one of the most serious dis- leases known, affecting not only the {farm lands on which potatoes are rown, but the disease is also direct. y injurious, to the health of the con- sumer of affected potatoes. Boiling does not destroy thei injurious proper- ties. The disease is characterized by nodulat excresences, which may often be larger than the tuber itself. These eankers affect the eyes of the potato and are very small in the early stages. Any tubers found with ier or larger outgrowths rising from where their eyes are situated, should, under no conditions be used for seed or table purposes. Farmers and consum- ers should be exceedingly careful in using potatoes that may have imported from Great Britain or the continent of Furope. Suspicious look- ing tubers should be destroyed by fire, and not be thrown on the ground or the disease, il present, will establish itself permanently in the soil. erent 20 DEAD; FOUR MORE ILL. loatesville, Pa., is Passing Through Serious Epidemic.
