Workers of America la his annual report today declared that strikes as a measure to strengthen , organized labor, have .- proved a failure. He urged that they be resorted to only i in extreme cases. Lewis praised the Joint con ference niethodsNrf negotiating wage scales and advocated the creation of district In which uulforra wages pre vail. " One of these t districts, lie de clared, should Include Colorado, Mon tana, Wyoming, Utah and Washing ton, while Canada be permitted to carry on its own wage negotiation without dictation or lnterferance on the part of mine workers. Lewis . condemned the Injunctions aimed to tamper union men and union opera tions. He also advocated a govern' tnent bureau of mines to deal with growing , problems . of the country's mining interests. : i ( Indianapolis, , Jan. 18. With the recent terrible , catastrophe in ini tio's fresh in their memories, the members of the United States Mine Workers of America are today more intent upon securing better safe gards for life and limb than upon an agitation of increase in wages. Ex perienced miners declare ,';that a large majority of the deaths in mines are preventable and point to the ' comparatively; small death rate in the European mines as proof of what may be accomplished towards protecting the lives of miners. While the government experts employed, to lnvebtlgate mine disasters have been of; great assistance, officials of the Union declare that they are too few to cope with' the trftuation. ' - Thomas L. Lewis will again head the coming year, having been re elected over his opponent, William Green, of Coshocton, 0., by . a large majority. :V -:Av ' ', Ufa : Alleged ' Magazine Trust V ; Washington, Jan. 18.

Figures for the "past ear ' show that the Dominion has passed the United States in the matter ot railroad activities and. the building of new lines is going on with unabated energy.. , : ; Canada's entire railroad mileage is now 233,000, which is one. mile to every 300 Inhabitants', as compared with one mile for every 381 inhabi tants in the United, States. In 1867, In all Canada there were just 2278 miles of railroad ' track. There have been constructed in 1909 and are , under construction or con tract nearly twce as many miles of track as there were In Canada In 1868, or 4327 miles.

Clothing job bers who have opened lines of suit ing for the fall of 1910 state that few of . the initial orders compare with those of last year. The trouble seems to be that clothiers are unde cided as to what class of goods they want for next fall. At any rate, they are" not making purchases in the usual way.
