District Organizer Robert Courtright
yesterday received a letter from South
McAllister, Indian territory, signed by
a number of men who but recently
We're employed in local mines, and who
left for the territory. 1t was to the
effect that they had been persuaded
to go there, by agents for the Meal
lister mines, who had not informed
them Of the fact that all the miners
at the collierios were on a strike. The
moment the Scranton men found the
true condition of affairs they decided
to return home and wrote Organizer
Courtright to warn other miners and
prevent them from having a like ex-
perience.
Agents have been sent through sew
eral of the eastern states by the Me-
Allisier mine people, and are working
hard to secure men. The strike was
declared on about three months ago,
and for the last two months several
of the mine agents have been working
in this vicinity.
They offer miners larger salaries
than they at present receive. which
wages really are paid, but as living
expenses are greater out there, the
men are better off at home. Those
men who are now in the Indian terri
tory left only a short while ago, and
constitute the fIst contingent, about
twenty strong.

TAX ON W. Fl. VANDERBIL0s FUND.
SURROGATE FITZGERALD DECIDES THAT
100000 LEFT IN TRUST MUST PAY
INHERITANCE TAX.

Surrogate Fitzgerald handed down decision yes
terday denying the application OF Henry B. Ander-
son for court order declaring the trust fund OF
100000 created by the will OF the late William
H. Vanderbilt exempt from inheritance tax. and
directing that the tax be assessed against the
fund.
Under the will OF william Fl. Vanderbilt. trust
fund Of 100000 was created for the benefit OF his
grandchildren. the children of his son. Cornelius
Vanderbilt. Cornelius Vanderbilt held the
fund in trust with discretionary power TO dis
tribute 1t among his children. The counsel for the
Vanderbilt heirs contended that the grandchildren
of William H. Vanderbilt had vested right in the
fund from the moment William H. Vanderbilts
Vanderbilt was admitted 70 probate before the In
heritance Tax law went into force. It was con-
tended that the fund was not subject to tax.
The Surrogate's decision in effect holds that the
children took title in the fund only after It's dis
tribution under the will OF Cornelius Vanderbilt.
and that therefore II is subject under the Inheri
lance Tax law.
William H. Vanderbilt died on December s. 1885.
The present Inheritance Tax law went into effect
in 1897 The Controller asserted that the fund
created by William n. Vanderbilt. under the con-
ditions named in his will made Il liable TO the
terms OF taxation under the Inheritance Tax law
Under the law the fund would be taxed l per cent.
Under the will of Cornelius Vanderbilt he ex-
ercised his discretionary power by bequeathing TO
his son. Cornelius. 100000. The remainder of the
Mr.. Anderson in his application urged that under
the law In force in 1885. when the viii OF William
H. Vanderbilt was probated, requests TO ineal de-
scendants were not subject to an inheritance tax.
Jabish Holmes, who appeared for the Controller
in the case, asserted that the children OF Cor
nelus Vanderbilt had valid interest IN the 1und
until after their fathers death. He contended that
the late Cornelius Vanderbilt had absolute pos
session and control of the fund and the power 10
