MAKING AMERICANS PAY.
English Assessors Vigorously Enforc
.ar' ing the Income Tax Law.

London, Nov. 19.-Although it is still
unsettled what proportion of the expense
of the war shall fall on the Transvaal gold
mines, the government is determined that
every American resident of the United
Kingdom shall contribute to the extent of
10 pence on every 81 of his income.
The revenue people are avowedly hunt
ing Americans down, and are resolved
that none shall escape. They have taken
the directory of Americans in London,
and are going steadily and remorselessly
for every name therein. When victim
is run to earth every effort will be made
to persuade him that his income is one
of most enviable magnitude, which should
provide the British exchequer with count
less fifteen-pences.
1t is difficult. indeed to persuade the
assessors, whose legal powers for satisfy
ing their curiosity only equalled by
their pertinacity and scepticism. that
ones income is less than they have inn
agined it..

The bitterness expressed at the meet
ing of the trades assembly last night,
at which the question of. calling off the
boycott was held IN allegiance, has in
tensified the situation. The metal pol
ishers' union is in favor OF having the
boycott rescinded, while the moulders
union is opposed to this action. Each
of these organize tons has threatened to
withdraw it's delegates from the trades
assembly if its wishes are not met. and
conservative labor men today are of the
opinion that a general row will follow
the present crisis, to be followed by the
reorganization Of the trades assembly.
Neither side would make statements to-
day, other than to say that the whole
matter was in allegiance and doubtless
would be settled at the regular meet
ing next Wednesday evening.

they are not convicted it will not be the
fault of the police,'' said Chief Donovan

brought in, as heretofore. All machines
which are neither plugged have the
handled removed will subject the proprie-
tor of the place in which they are found
to arrest. The detectives viii not bring
down the arrested parties. but notify
them to come here at 4 O clock to answer
to the charge before the police judge. If
they do not appear at that hour they Will
be sought out and locked up until the
next session of court
The usual sign, This is not a gambling
device, you get cigar with every nickel
played" will not exempt the proprietor
The machine must be disabled so that it
cannot be used. The parties who were ar
rested today We're Jas. Sheasley, Geo.
