Official Inquiry On Mining Matters In British Columbia
Commissioner Clute's inquiry examined mining conditions including alien labor imports and eight hour law effects. Witnesses from Silver King mine and the Miners' Union testified on earnings under eight versus ten hour systems, ventilation, accommodation, and labor mobility. Results cited show mixed impact on capital and wages with varied mine practices and investment figures across facilities like Hall Mines and Ymir.
