In the issue of the Interior News of Dec, Attacked 21 the editorial column is given over With wholly to the abuse uf Foley, Welch Falschoods & Stewart, the contractors building the western division of the G.T.P., and the men who have done more to build up the northern interior than any other organization. In fact the towns of Aldermere and Telkwa, and the Bulkley valley have practically fived off the con- tractors, and a great many of them waxing fat. The sore spot in the News’ crop seems to be the order to all to stop accepting the time checks from men working on the grade. The men are pictured as “poor devils’ working like slaves, hungry, ragged, without money and dry, The z big noise is coming from those who are dry, and from those who are anxious to quench the thirst of the “‘poor devils’? at so much per for rotten whiskey. . Foley, Welch & Stewart send their paymaster over the entire line every month delivering bank checks to the men in exchange for their time checks. Every man on the line gets his check if | #% he is to be found anywhere. These bank checks may be eashed any place and by any person. The great trouble has been that some men have been in the habit of drawing time checks two or three times a month and cashing them, generally at the blind pigs which are scattered along the line. The business was so profitable that these pigs have been established right under the nose of the men—-a temptation twenty-four hours a day. The legitimate business people of the Bulkley valley have no kick coming.. The men on the line get their bank checks every month and they have all the money they want. The only difference it makes is to the blind pigs which have been get- ting all the men’s wages, keeping the men from work and doing their full share to corrupt the country and retard its progress, - With the new order of things the legitimate business man will get his full share of the men’s ‘money, and at the same time the men will have|# money in their pockets. ‘Should a man want money before the paymas- ter arrives he has only to send his time check to head office by mail and his bank check is sent out by return mail. The same if the man is going to another camp to work. He does not have to walk to New Hazelton nor pay stage fare. The editor of the News knew all this, or he should have found out before writing foolish falsehoods, or allowing an agitator to use his columns for that purpose.
