James A Baker was a Canadian miner who spent four years in Slocan, which was in south eastern British Columbia.
Career
lieutenant appears that the organizational part of the job wore him down and he did not stand for re-election in 1903. At that point he disappears from historical documentation. He left a legacy of a more militant and leftist British Columbia mining unionism.
Membership
He was a member of the Western Federation of Miners and became an elected official and the regional representative during a period of particularly bitter strikes.
