CORPORATION TAX LAW
 THE MAKING 0F RETURNS
When It is Possible to Gather informs
 ton From Corporation Books.

Washington, Dec. 31.-Where a cor poration through it's books or otherwise can ascertain it's income sufficiently for its officers to make oath to the re- turn as true. this will be regarded as equivalent to an inventory and a physi- cal inventory need not be taken. It is realized. however, that in the case of many corporations the income of the calendar year cannot be ascertained without taking a physical inventory and the corporation tax law being eX- plicit both as to the period of the in- come. where such income cannot be as certained without physical inventory. this will have to be taken.
 These views were expressed by the internal revenue office in response to inquiries by corporations who are finding themselves embarrassed in making returns for income tax pur- poses in cases where the fiscal year is not identical with the calendar year.

HOIST DRUM ElPL0DEs
Two Men Fatally Injured .,. Twelve Miners Escaped Death By a Minute e-Ac- cident Will Result in Sus- pension of Operations

Globe, Dec. 31-J. H. Thompson, a miner, was blown forty feet through roof and fatally injured, and Wade Collins was blown the same distance against a wall and probably fatally hurt and twelve imners narrowly es- capped death here tonight when the main hoist at the Old Dominion mine exploded.
 cage bearing twelve men had just landed at the mouth of A shaft when the gearing on the double drum hoist gave way. Like a flash the heavy three deck cage shot to the bottom of the shaft. hundreds of feet below. The rapidity of the revolH- tiOn of the hoist drums caused one drum to explode with terrific violence. Pieces of flying metal. weighing hun dreds of pounds were thrown in every direction. Portions of the drum struck the two injured men who were operating the hoist at the time.
 That both men were not instantly killed is a miracle. as Thompson was blown through the roof of the hoist house and dropped at a distance of forty feet. In addition to internal in- juries. several bones were broken.
 Collins may live, although it is be- lieved he will lose the sight of both eyes. Had the accident occurred minute before a dozen men would have been killed when the cage drop ped.
 The accident will cause at least a partial shut down of the mine for few days until the hoist can be re- placed.

To See Where the Strike Situation May Be Taken Hold of THE MEDIATION BOARD
Goes Over Subject With Perham, But Though Many Things Have Been Considered No Plan Has Been Agreed Upon

Washington. Dec. 51-There is a waiting game tonight in the nego- tiations for mediation of the switch mems strike on the railroads< <enter- ing St. Paul All day the govern ment mediation boarc. consisting of Chairman Knapp. of the Interstate Commerce commission and Commis sioner of Labor Neill were together with H B. Perham. of the Order Of Railway Telegraphers. head of the railroad board of the American Fed eration of Labor, and wrestled with the problem of what to do in behalf of the interests affected by the strike but without definite action. In the meantime MT. Perham has made no appointment with President Taft. who it is stated at the White House would not have taken the matter up any way.
 The conference with the mediation board was solicited by Perham, fol- lowing the railroads refusal to make vacancies fo< strikers, but other matters, including the general con- ditions of affairs affecting the men were considered.
 Perham said there would be no conference tomorrow, unless some thing extraordinary develops" and that he did not expect to confer again until Monday He did not expect in the interval to do any telegraphic ne gotiation.
 Perham submitted much documen- tary evidence today bearing on the dispute between the railroads and the switchmen. He pointed out that his effort was to see some way of reaching settlement: he wanted a resumption of negotiations between the railroads and the men.
 The railroads say they have the situation well in hand. while the strikers hold to the contrary The switchmen want all the strikers taken back without prejudice and rail- roads which employed strike breakers refused to make vacancies. Some thing like 2500 switchmen are said to have been affected by the strike originally and the understanding here , Is that nearly all are still out Mills , nd other industrials dependent on \ Ill transportation facilities are said f be affected. The mayor of St Paul and Minneapolis have tele- graphed urging a solution of the problem. To these telegrams Messrs. Knapp and Neill have replied. pledg ing their willingness to aid if the way is clear. Many propositions have been considered. but none have crys- talized
