In reâ€" ferring to the strike last week The Advancs notsd editorially than the The strike last wesk of practically all bush workers in the employ of the Spruce Falls Power Paper Co. came to an abrupt end on Tusesday night with the signing of setilements terms between the company repres>ntatives and the strike committee. Such an early termination was quit2 unexpected in town, and when word of the settleâ€" meont quickly spread there were many expressions cf relief. cordial relations nrovailed between him and the strike committee whenever they met, and that good feeling was preserved when terms of settlement were reached. The Northern Tribune has had a fair cpportunity to hear both sides of the whole trouble, also to learn the sentiments of many business men and other citizens, and all speak in high praise of Mr. Noble‘s ready reâ€" cogniticn of the merits of the men‘s grievances and his prompt and effective action in settling the strike by making valuable concessions. Mr. Noble is also mayor of Kapuskasingâ€"which fact we recite for outâ€"ofâ€"town readersâ€"and in that capacity he did much to discount alarming rumours of impending trouble through the strike, and counsel ccolâ€" headedness on the part of some who overly friendly to the Spruce Falls Co., but in its issue last week it is generous in its praiss ¢f Mr. Noble. Because there are many from Timmins among the bush workers in the Kapuskasing area and because of the general interâ€" est in the strike, the report of the matâ€" ter as given by The Northern Tribune last wzek is given herewith in full. The Northern Tribune says:â€" Woeods Strike Settled in Friendly Fashion. Strike of Bush Workers in the Kapuskasing Area Settled Great Praise Given to E. 8.

The latter document will have general interest throughout Northe@ern Ontario, because the information that we have from the different interests involved is that it embodies better wages and working conditions than those prevailing in other Northern camps. Inasmuch every paper mill in Canada is shippins most of its product to the United States at a stablized price, it will be a matter of interest whether other woods operaâ€" tors will be asked to come up to these wages and conditions and put all on the same footing, except for freight differentials and other minor things. The strike committee‘s statement reads as follows:â€" l : PUBLIC STATEMENT OF THE w KAPUSKASING STRIKERS w Nine hundred and fi‘ry bushmen employed by the Spruce Falls Power Paper Co. at Kapuskasing struck Noâ€" vember 1st against low wages, scale stealing, bad camp conditions, etc. Evidence of the pittances received by some workers is well expressed by the ) ,, cheques received. | +p It at days recesived the same. after working six days, received ninety cents and one more after six days was 59 cents in debt to the company. Five dollars was received for 32 days‘ work at two dollars per day, after a van bill of $15.00. On behalf of the strikers, the strike eccmmittee wishes to make clear to the citizens of Kapuskasing and district certain rumouwrs regarding the intenâ€" tions and conduct?t of the strikers. The rumour a@bout raiding and stopping the paner mill workers from working was provocatiys. It was never In Camp 14 two men after working six days each received a cheque for two cents. One man for five oneâ€"half days recsived the samse. Ansther, after For an actual fact, there was no disâ€" turbance to amount to anything during the course of this short strike. The strikers themselves deserve a full share of credit for this orderliness. They were revpeatedly told by their leaders to avoid giving provocation, to remain sober, to abstain from making any threats and to deny such intention should rumours arise. In fact, the strikers were told by their own leaders, in the rough and ready language of the bush, that if they got drunk or caused any disturbance, even individually, they would ‘be "grabbed by the neck and thrown out of town." So intent were the men in gaining and holding public sympathy while differences existed beâ€" tween them and the Surucs Falls Co. Spruce Falls Co. had a good name for fairness and proper treatment of its men. This was borne out by the atâ€" titude of the general manager of the company who is credited with bringing the strike to a prompt settlement and winning the respect and regard of the men. E. S. Noble, formerly of Timâ€" mins, where he was manager of the Northern Canada Power Co., is not only manager of the Spruce Falls Powâ€" er Paper Co., but he is also mayor of the town of Kapuskasing, and so came in contact with the strike in a double capacity. Those who knew him while he was in Timmins would exâ€" pect fairness and humane feeling from Mr. Noble, and this faith in him was amply justified by results. He is given credit for settling the strike in rapid way, giving the and the company alike a fair deal, and halding the reâ€" gard of all.

The company agrees that board be charged at the rate of seventy ($0.75) cents per day. as much as thought of by the strikers, and it is entirely foreign to the policy of the Lumber Workers Industrial Unâ€" ion of Canada to use violence in conâ€" vincing workers that they should take some kind of action to raise wages, better conditions, or that they should come out on strike in sympathy with other strikers. The responsible party or parties that spread the rumour that the strikers were going to raid the stores is not only a liar but is the worst kind of provocator. Why would the strikers want to raid the stores when they had enough food to last them two months? There is only one reason for the spreading of such rumours, and that is to try and prejudice the people of Kapuskasing against the strikers. There would then be a base to organize hooligan gangs to attack the strikers. The authorities would then have a chance to bring in more police to terâ€" rorize the strikers and force them back to work. If a man leaves of his own accord, the company agrees to pay at the rate of $1.175 per cord. Ary advances made by the company during the season of 1933â€"34 will be based cn the $1.75 per cord.

If a man is discharged before the camps are closed, the above rate apâ€" plies. At all times the strike comn urged the strikers to behave thems keep sober, and do nothing to an nise the pecple in the vicinity. D the strike it can be said thai o1 whole the men were well behaved The moral and material support the workers of Kapuskasing, the tlers in the surrounding districts The moral and material support from the workers of Kapuskasing, the setâ€" tlers in the surrounding districts, and the Workers‘ Coâ€"operative Stores in Timmins, Kirkland Lake, etc., is greatly appreciated by the strikers. On behalf cof the strikers we wish to take this opportunity to thank all inâ€" dividuals and organizations for their aid. (Signed) Strike Committe> of the Kapuskasing Camps.
