RADICAL Miners
CHECKED BY
LEWIS
Resolution for Recognition Of
Russia Is Modified.
Wages Discussed.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 24.-John
L. Lewis, president, and his sup
porters, held the reins tightly to-
day in the convention Of United
Mine Workers Of America with ap.
parently small chance of the radi.
cal labor leaders making any head
way with their demands. The SO.
called "Reds" were downed on:
Recognition of Soviet Russia,
Reinstatement of the Nova
Scotia district where communist
activities were said to be rife.
Establishment of d new labor
party.
Resolution Is Modified.
A resolution calling in plain
terms for Congress- to recognize
Russia was replaced by one which
stated that while the principles OF
self-determinati6n Of peoples and
non.interference in the internal at
fairs of other countries were ad.
hered to, the recognition of Russia
was favored only when that coun.
try met its honorable obligations
On the question Of reinstatement
of the Nova Scotia distric, Lewis
delivered an address condemnin< al
legged affiIiation of Nova Scotia
miners with the Trades Union In
ternationale.
A test developed that the sup
porters of the Canadian miners
would not obain the 50 per cent
needed to force a roll call.
Fight Against Lewis.
Opponents of the Lewis regime
were planning another fight 10
gain control Of the organization in
a resolution which would make all
officers now appointed by the presi.
dent, elected by a referendum vote
Of the members instead, but 1t was
evident the resolution would go
the way Of others.
Several score Of resolutions were
taken up by the wage scale com.
mittee at its first meeting. The
general impression prevailed that
a continuation of the present scale
would be sought, although some
resolutions ask 10 per cent in
crease,

1924 TELEPHONE BUSINESS
SHOWS AMAZING GROWTH
TOTALINC 30 PER CENT
s.. .E.s.rg ~.

The number of telephones in
stalled and the revenue produced
are an excellent gauge of general
conditions. According to this test,
as shown by the records of the
Pacific Telephone Company ct its
headquarters in this city, which is
the center for what is known as
the Ell Centro area, there has been
q gradual growth from year TO
year until the present year. The
increase for 1924 has taken a sud
den leap upwards and will finish
the year with an advance of APP
proximately so per cent over last
year-the largest preceding year. 1t
is to be noted that this tallies al
most exactly with the percentage
of growth shown by Ell Centro IS
postal receipts.
The highest number of telephones
installed in the valley on any date
in 1928 previous to October 90, was
1850, whereas the greatest at any
one time to that date this year was
3010
AS reflecting ability of ,subscrib-
ers to pay their bills the records
show that of current bills for Sep
tember this year, but six per cent
