7.000 FINNS PLAN TO IMMIGRATE TO CANADA Montreal. P. Q —Seven thousand Finn% who have been left in Ilelsingfor because of the closing of the Finnish quota to the United States, are planning to emigrate to Canada, in April, acordfng to cable advices received here. These people, it is said, are substantia! farmers who want to leave their country because of disturbed conditions in Europe. They are a better class, it is said, than the usual type of immigrants, being thrifty and industrious stock and are seeking homes of their own. Given an opportunity on the land in Canada, it is believed, they will make the very best kind of settlers. Canada, it is expected. will get a heavy immigration from Scandinvian countries this year. Five Norwegian shipping men who recently arrived predict that 10.000 Norwegian settlers will immigrate to Canada this summer. They will probably be located on farms in the prairie provinces where agrlculturad expansion has been rapid in recent years. The movement of settlers to the Dominion this year will be the largest since 1914. according to the c.estima of immigration authorities. An increase of 100 percent over the 1923 immigration is expected. The fact that Canada has thrown open its doors und is r aking every t ffort to secure agricultural immigrant sis, it Is said, having a pronounced effect on homeseekers every where. European Immigrants realise that tor land settlers seeking new opportunities Canada stands today in the place of nited States occupied a century ago. SIXTEEN KILLED IN INDIANA MINES IN 1923 < United I’rcss Service) Indianapolis. April X—Sixteen fa taHties have resulted from the mine accidents In Indiana this year, records of the state industrial board show For the same period in 192.1, only 12 were killed. Accidents occur frequently, records indicate. January and February. L--2<?l were Injured In mine accidents, laist year for the same period, 1.141 were Injured. Kesponsiblllty tor the majority of mishaps, according to Cairy Littlejohn. chief inspector, state department of mines and mining, rest largely upon the shoulders of mine bosses. "The mine Inspectors cannot visit the working places of the men In the mines except at very infrequent per lods,” Idttlejohn said. "Mance, it is the duty nf the mine boas to sec and enforce all laws for the protection of each man working In the mine. "The greatest number of fatal accidents in mines during the past year were due to the fall of slate, rock and coal. The total number was twentyseven. Ths majority of these could have been avoided by proper timbering of the working places. "The mine management cannot be held blameless If It falls to enforce these precautions by such means and methods as will compel observance

of them.” Next in importance in the number of mine fatalities is the hazard of haulage roads. "Too often, thoughtless, careless young men and boys are employed as trip riders and couplers,” Littlejohn pointed out. "I think this is a mistake upon the part of the mine manage ments.” Eight shot ffrers were killed durlnf 1923 by suffocation due to after dam| dyst and powder explosions, danger ous shots, tamping of shots with coal shack or dust. "The mine management cannot escape its portion of responsibility for this sacrifice of life. The law respection the employment of shotfirers is wholly in the hands of the mine managers,” Idttlejohn said. Six inspectors are employed under direction of Littlejohn. — -o- ■ - Estimated Wealth Os The United States W ishington. D. C.
