Alaskan Indians in Strike.

SPOKANE, Aug. 19.--"Indians of
the northland are fast learning the
ways of the white man. says Jere-
miah Smith of Spokane, member of
the Industrial Workers of the World,
who has just returned from Alaska.
"They have gone through their first
strike in the Copper river country,
where the Guggenheim interests are
constructing a railroad, and they
were successful from the start. The
reds went in like q lot of dockmen,
and we have learned that they can be
depended upon to stick once they
have made up their minds. There is
the making of strong union among
the aborigines and believe we shall
have them in the field in short time.
Alaska is flooded with men, and as q
result they do not receive more than
So day for common labor. Because
of the many looking for work there is
tendency to force wages down, for
which the transportation companis are
largely to blame. Their chief aim ia
to get the money. Conditions are
such that man cannot work all the
time, even during the open season,
but believe this will be remedied

Tesla, the inventor, in q letter re.
ceived here today by George G.. Mat.
thews, q rainmaker of Wichita, pre-
diets q final successful solution of the
problem of the artificial production
of rain. He says:
II cannot recall that have ex.
pressed myself on the subject before.
But it is q fact that have developed
certain electrical appliances with
which it would be possible to control
the precipitation of moisture from the
atmosphere. A great problem of this
kind cannot be solved by one man.
But q successful solution will come,
the result of the cooper ration of many"
Mr.. Tesla asks Mr.. Matthews, who
is trying to produce rain by putting
chemicals in the air, to report to him
regarding what is accomplished.

CORPORATION TAX SOLID.
A Plan To Reorganize the Interstate
Commerce Commission.

commerce commission.
BEVERLY, Mass, Aug. 1S.-Reports
reaching Beverly daily from Wash.
ington and New York that the consti.
onality of the new corporate tax
to be levied is to be tested has not
disturbed the president in the least.
He 80 declared himself today. The
tests and the protests, the president
said, were all anticipated.
Mr.. Taft, himself lawyer of some
eminence and father of the corpora a.
tion tax idea. is thoroughly convinced
that the tax will stand any test that
may be applied to it. Attorney Cen
eral Wickersham, a corporation law
yer of note, and Senator Knox, COL
Elaborated the corporation tax provi.
sion of the tariff bill and the measure
as enacted, they believe, will survive
any attempt to nullify it.
Attorney General Wickersham Is
coming to see the president Friday to
discuss with him plan for reorgan-
izing the duties of the interstate com.
merce commission under an amend
ment of the Sherman antitrust law
bringing interstate corpor orations more
under the control of that branch of
the government.
According to Mr.. Taft's view, the
machinery to enforce the laws on the
statute books Is inadequate. he be-.
lieves the interstate commerce CON-
mission is overcrowded with work
and that it ought to be relieved of its
jurisdiction as an administrative
body, its functions to be limited to the
quasi-Judicial investigat of CON-
plants made by individuals and by a
department of the government ch arged
with the executive business of super.
vision. The president also believes
that under the Sherman antitrust law
there is much to interfere with legiti.
mate business. but by amendment it
can be made an effective and just in.
strument.
