MILLIONS ARE LOST
 IN WAGES BY STRIKE

WINNIPEG, Aug. II (b Associated Press) ).-Canadia workingmen lost $7,O0O,OOO in wages in June, and slightly more than half that amount in the preceding month, according to estimates.
 The Winnipeg strike alone cost the workingmen several million dollars. Board of Trade officials believe the economic loss to merchants, manu- lecturers and the public, was at least 100 per cent more than the labor loss.
 In June, the eighty strikes in Can ada involved 87917 men, women and children. The official estimate shows a loss of about 1,445,021 working days. The average wage involved in the Winnipeg strike was about $5 per day.
 In May, there were eighty-four strikes, involving 77,688 workers, who lost 893,816 working days.

INDUSTRY IS UNDERGOING
 REVOLUTION

LONDON, July 12 Correspondence of Associated Press) British rail- ways and coal mines are at present financial invalids. Both of these ,in- dustries still are controlled by the government under war legislation. Proposals that both should be na- tionalized are among the most inn portant reconstruction plans now be- ing agitated here.
 The British railways are managed by the new ministry of transport with a guarantee of pre-war profits to the shareholders. The coal mines are operated by controller who fixes the compensation of the mine owners.
 "The transport systems of the coun- try are financially in a semi-paralyzed state," the minister of transport, Sir Eric Geddes, recently told the house of commons. The balance sheet of the railroads for the coming year, as he forecast it, will show a loss of 971,OOO,OOO to 973,OOO,00O against an annual profit of about 943,OO0,OOO for the five last years before the war.
 The annual wage bill of the rail ways before the war was about &50,- 000000, and Sir Eric estimates the increased war wages and other con- sessions at e57,OOO,OOO, the eight hour day and other new concessions to cost from 92O,OOO,OOO to e25,OOO,- 900, and the extra cost of materials and coal 927,OOO,OOO making the in creased cost of running the railroads e1O4,OOO,OOO to e1O7,OOO,OOO without

taking into account the great depre- citation of plant during the war.
 Some financiers contest these fig ures strongly, and assert that the de- felt is merely a paper one due to failure ill bookkeeping to charge the immense government traffic at rates which private traffic would cost, and that the financial outlook is nowise as bad as Sir Eric's view of it.
 The deficits of the railways and mines are defrayed under present ar engagements, the former directly from the treasury out of the pockets, of the taxpayers, the latter by the whole community through official ad- vances in the price of coal.
 On July IA, the British govern ment announced that the price of coal would be increased six shillings a ton.

HEAVY RAINFALL REPORTED
 IN YUKON REGION

June and July have been record breaking months for rainfall in the Yukon. While the downpour is somewhat displeasing to those who like to bask in the sunshine, the Klondike miner is delighted. The reservoirs are filled with water and the giants are spouting night and day, tearing down their loads of gray el from their resting place of ages. A season like this makes tens of thou sands of dollars difference monthly in favor of the camp, and everyone gets his pinch of prosperity.

A CALL FROM SOME NURSING
SISTERS IN CHINA.

This letter IS from Sister Levailois
Superior of the Sisters of Charity in
Kiashing, Chekiang:
Having heard Of the generosity OF
American Catholics toward the poor
of China, l am venturing' to make
known to the members of the S. P. F
the needs Of our hospital here We
now possess a small hospital for men
but the poor sick women are in o pit
iful condition. A few of them are
crowded into a small house wholly
unsuitable in every way. but many, OF
course, must be refused altogether.
I'VE are suffering for a new and
commodious hospital for women, for
the Protestants have just opened one
capable of caring for one hundred
and fifty patients. If we turn the
sick people away from our doors, NAT.
urally they will go where they are
certain of being received. 1t is no
news to our friends across the wa.
ter that in the hospital many souls
are saved, even when the body is be-
yond relief. We baptize many in
danger of death, and convert others
who later become staunch Catholics.
Everything urges that we begin the
construction of hospitals very soon.
We might in the beginning place the
men in the new building and let the
women occupy the mems hospital. At
any rate, some improvement in the
means at our disposal for caring for
our sick is imperative"

A WEST AFRICAN MISSION.

The following letter is from Rev.
81 Philadelphia. Father Simon writes
from his mission at Waterloo, Sierra
leone, West Africa. He says:
There is something far better than
The health of the body to exercise our
generosity on. 1t is souls, souls, souls,
the souls of Gods little ones! Here
in dark Africa hundreds Of them
swarm around us every day and the
good God alone knows how abandoned
hey are. Their color may be rather
dusky; their features at times even
ugiy; but within that rough black skin
turks soul all beautiful, soul for
which our Saviour did not hesitate

wh9t an abandoned state their little

All of us look back to our childhooi
days with a tender regret, for Their

neither time nor money to give us q

and mother gave us nothing but gooc

IT'S than they themselves were willing
to do. But where is our little darky

his mother is too foolish to teach
her child to pray; as for the father,
he is too busy to mind anything ex-
Cept to see that the stomach of the
little one is always full. And as for
the good example,! From his ten
derest years he sees nothing but bad.
Legitimate for the most part himself,
he sees little brothers and sisters as
illegitimate as himself, each one. at
