OUR NORTHERN NEIGHBOR.

When the senate passed the Can
adian reciprocity measure that locality
assumed a new interest for the Ameri-
q people. While Canada has an
area somewhat greater than that OF the
United States and Alaska, its popu.
u~lation, about $500, 900, in less than
that of Pennsylvania, and 1000. 600
less than that of New York. Yet 1t
has a foreign trade Of more than
$500, 600, 900 a year. This Is nearly q
fifth of that of the United States,
while it's population is less than a
a twelfth of ours. Fully sixty per
cent Of all that Canada buys from the
rest of the world she gets from the
United States. but only 80 per cent OF
what she sells comes here. She is
third on the list of u patrons, only
the United Kingdom and the Empire
of Germany buying from US more than
does Canada. Last year her pur.
chases from US amounted to Sl37 ,O00,.
600 more than did her sales to Is.
What will be the effect of the new
commercial agreement between US and

London, July 2S.-The Moroccan ST.

was generally conceded that Premier
Asqulth's speech acted to ease the

1t is the hope of the British gov

diplomatic patchwork, some more
lasting settlement will be effected,
which will tranqulize the European
situation.

here that under the skirtins clause

WESTERN FEDERATION DECIDES
AGAINST MERGING WITH
UNITED MINE WORKERS.
VOTE IS OVERWHELMING
Sense Of the Convention is That
Both Organizations Possess Charters
in American Federation Of Labor
and That Is Enoush--Objeet May
Ultimately Be Obtained.

Butte, July 2s.--The time OF tho
convention of the Western Federation
Of Miners was taken up largely today
with a discussion OF the very impor-
tant question as to ACCESSIBILITY at this
time Of amalgamatlng with the United
Mine Workers OF America, the West
ern federation having a membership of
about $4,000 and the United Mine
Workers "A membership Of about 100000.
All Of the speakers agreed that that
object would ultimately be attained.
the only disagreement, which often led
to acrimonious discussions and per-
sonal clashes, being as to the proper
means to reach that end. Most of
the speakers were in favor of
movement towards an amalgamation
of mine workers and associated crafts
everywhere through n mining depart

Resolution.
The discussion arose today on q mo-
tion to adopt resolution introduced
by John Vickers of Butte Miners
union. The resolution favored the
surrender OF the charter OF the West
ern federation and as a whole going
into the United Mine Workers organ
lzation.
Delegate vickers expressed the opin-
ion that the amalgamatlon proposed
should be brought about to save the
expense of maintaining a dual or
ganizatlon and to do away with sep
arate working cards for unions en-
gagged in the mining industry.
When the question was called ana
before II was put, President Meyer
said he wished to make statement
In regard to the purpose OF the reso-
luton, as he believed Its provisions
were misunderstood by some OF the
delegates. The president declared that
vote for that resolution would be
vote to dsband the federation and
lose it's identity in the body Of the
United Mine Workers. Attention was
called by Mr.. Meyer to the fact that
the federation Is affiliated with and

the convention of the latter body with

The vote was then taken by ron
