San Francisco, Dec. S.-A gross
earning tax on public service corpora
tions to be paid to the state in lieu
of the present local taxation on these
concerns is one Of the innovations the
commission on reform and revision Of
revenue laws will propose to the legis-
1ature next month. The commissions
proposal is to separate entirely state
from local taxes. The idea is that
with a gross earnings tax on public
service corporations, the state would
not levy tax on general property as
it does now

the special committee or tiac board OF
trustees of the chamber of commerce
on insurance settlements. after the
big fire which has just been published
says:
THE total area burned was about
5000 acres, or about Al square miles
containing $40 blocks AMI about 25,.
600 buildings. One-half OF these were
residences.
THE amount of insurance covering
property in the burned district was,
approx; mately, s235 100000 (estimat-
ed. All of this had been written by
companies authorized to do business
in the state, except $4,000, 300, which
had been placed outside OF the state
in some 100 companies.
The value of buildings and contents
destroyed in the fire must have been
about $35O,000,00O, being an estimate
on the insurance liability, the known
ratio of insurance to value (about 20
per cent?, and a guess that there was
about 5 per cent of property that car
ried no insurance.
An immense sum of insurance mon
ey has been paid into this city, far
larger sum than companies have ever
been called on to pay at one time be-
fore. In spite of the earthquake, in
spite of the nearness in time of the
Baltimore and Toronto CONGREGATIONS,
the companies will finally have paid
undoubtedly in the neighhorhood of
so per cent of the amount of insur-
ance involved. At Chicago there was
so per cent paid, in Baltimore 90 per
cent"

ditional postage; and if it be second,
third or fourth class the sender will
be notified by the postmaster from the

STRIKE COMING
ON THE PENNSY
All Yardmen in the PittSburg
District Are Likely to Be
Called Out Soon.
THEY ASK HIGHER WAGES
MEN VOTE TO STRIKE UNLESS
DEMANDS ARE GRANTED
WOULD CRIPPLE TRAFFIC TO A
GREAT EXTENT.
fPubIishers, Press.l


Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. S.-1he dispute
between local officials of railroads CEN
tering in Pittsburg and their en-
ployes over the scale for yard men
has arrived at the critical stage, and
ur less a settlement is reached within
day or SO, fears are entertained of a
general strike in the district
Negotiations with the Baltimore
and Ohio are off, and much depends
upon meetings with G.. l.. Peck, gen
eral manager Of the Pennsylvania
lines east OF Toledo. If these two
companies take a stand similar to that
of the Baltimore and Ohio all yardmen
in the Pittsburg district will likely be
rallied out On strike in accordance with
the result OF the vote on this question
BY the trainmen. The P.ttsburg and
Lake Erie officials are understood to
have agreed 10 Tay the middle scale"
but it is not beloved the ira nm
will accept this scale unless all other
roads in this district agree to SINH
lar proposition. THE middle scale"
is one cent an hour, less than the scale
paid in the Chicago strict, and is n
other Ohio points.
II the Pennsylvania lines, the Wa
bash and the baltimore and Chic Of
ficials concede the middle scale" it
is said the trainmen will continue
working. Otherwise a strike is threat
ened.
W. G. Lee, vice grand master of the
Brotherhood of Trainmen, who has
charge of the situation in the Pitts
burg district declines to discuss the
matter in detail further than to say
the prospects for settlement are not
as bright as they mi ght be. The train
men, he said voted on the question
and they agreed to demand the Chi
cago scale. The wages in the Pitts
burg district, Lee said, are much
lower than in other districts. He be-
lieves the trainmen should be paid
higher wages.
Traffic affairs in the Pittsburg dis
trict have reached that stage where
shippers are more than anxious as to
the outcome of the conferences. The
freight ira TIC in this district was
never heavier than at present and a
strike Of the yardr9en would mean a
complete tie up Of freight trains.
Indications point to the settlement
of wage d'sTutes in the Pittsburg
switching ds4rct." said Lee, after a
conference with George L. Peek, ger.
eral manager of ale Pennsylvania lines
west. Our conference resulted in the
Pennsylvania railroad and the Penn
sy1vania lines west granting the mid
die scale which is one cent less than |
