Death Rate Is Per
5,OOOmAmerican
Mines.

President Lewis. Of the United
Mine Workers of America: in his an
nual report to the indianapolis con-
vention, stated that statistics showed
that in 1908 one life was sacrificed
in the mines for each 46,540 tons of
coal taken out. and that 18 lives
were lost out of each 5000 men en-
ployed. He recommends a national
bureau of mines. The great slaught-
er of miners is attributed to the greed
of mine owners in the Ineager. provi-
Ision Of safety appliances.
Action taken at the convention OF
the United Mine Workers of America
would seem to indicate disposition
to amalgamate with the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners, forming one I'M
ion of both interests. coal and metal.
Such action is urged by the metal
miners, so as to be better equipped
to carry on the proposed warfare
against the United States Steel Cor
poratioA.
The annual conference Of the Scot
fish Miners Federation, held at Edin-
Eburgh, decided to use its power and
influence to raise miners wages to q
minimum of. 50 per Gay.

THEY'RE NO GOOD.

Here is q good one: The plasterers
in Fort Wayne, Ind, surrendered
their charter, which was followed by
a notification of an immediate reduc-
ton in wages of ten cents an hour.
They say the union was mo good, !"
which was correct, as they consti-
tuted the union and were n. 6. They
wanted something for nothing,
dropped their charter and then hand
ed something for nothing to the
bosses in the shape of ten cents an
hour of good money. Did you ever
hear of any worse blockheads
Later.-The Fort Wayne plasterers
announce that they are going to re-
organize. They seem to have actually
learned something.
