.SNITCHNEN CLAIM
SUCCESSFUL STRIKE
Traffic Halted at Twin Cities
and Lake Terminals by
Union Men.

ST. PAUL. Mimi, Dec. president
Frank T. Hawley, Of the Switchmer s
Union Of North America. today declared
the strike for increase of pay of switch
men On the railroads entering the Twin
Cities today a success. and said every
union switchman between St. Paul and
the Pacific coast will have quit his JOB
by tonight.
Officials OF the railroads. however, de-
CIaTed that large numbers OF men were
stil at work, and that the strike was
q failure.
The switchmen affected are those en-
plOyed in all the railroad yards in St
Paul. Minneapolis, and at the head OF
the lakes, and of all the lines o. tue
Great Northern and Northern Pacific.
The switchmen today declared they
had tied up traffic effectively from here
to the North Pacific coast, while Of
ficials declared the trains have continued
in operation. The latter admit difficulty
in handling trains at the terminals
President Hawley OF the switchmen
today issued a statement that the strlk-
ers would keep of the properties Of the
railroads. The railroads have notified
shippers in the Twin Cities that ware
houses would be closed today and no
shipments received except by tne chi
cagO. Milwaukee and ST. Paul
The Twin Cities and the head OF the
LAKES seem to be the most affected by
the strike. The Twin cities are the
stronghold Of the switchmens union. At
other terminals =Stiroad officials say the
sWltchmen are not so strongly organized.

Grand piano sells for $3.50
These very pianos-what IS

TAX ON LAND VALUE
FEATURE OF BUDGET

Foremost among the provisions OF the
bill 70 which the lords object is the land
value tax OF 20 per cent on the un-
earned increment. or the value added to
land BY the growth OF the community
and not by any productive enterprise on
the part Of the landlord.
The lords were originally landlords,
and in feudal times used TO contribute
their quota OF soldiers for the defense
or the country. Because Of this they
were exempted from taxation. When
the military system was reorganized
the army was recruited directly from
the people, and the lords were no longer
Obliged TO furnish the state with troops,
but the exemption from taxation re-
manned.
IN the last two centuries the rental
value Of the land Of Great Britain has
tremendously increased by the mere
growth Of population. adding enormous
Iv 20 the rent rolls of the landlords,
without any corresponding productive
ness or responsibility OF their part.
David Loyd-GeOrEe's bill di1 not go so
FAR as TO take for the state this great
rental value created by the people OF
England. Nor did he propose to take
all the future increase. The bill pro-
viied THAI the land Of Great Britain
should be revalued and One-dfth Of any
future unearned increment should be
taken in taxation. leaving to, the land
lords all they had gained without any
effort for the last 200 years.
Nevertheless. the lords. finding them
selves menaCed as 10 the main source
OF their income, regarded this bill as
the entering wedge. raised the cry OF
socialism, and determined 10 oppose it
Income taxes, death estate and legacy
duties, already levied. were largely IN
creased by the bill. but from the
speeches made 1t is evident that the
land value tax was regarded as the
crux of the whole bill
Increased duties on the liquor bust
ness and on tobacco we're responsible
for the abstention Of the Irish national
party from voting for the bin when Il
passed the house of commons on No
yember by a vote OF S7s 20 14s.

At Auction Prices

of fine pianos were sold at
prices which astOnished the
wise ones. Great as this sale
was. it failed TO accomplish
the one thing necessary-to
dispose of ALL of the pianos
1t was agreed between the
Frederick Music Company
and the Knabe interests that
the former would dispose of
the entire stock Of pianos
within THREE MONTHS.
The purpose Of this agree
ment was frankly intended to
safeguard the sale Of knabe
pianos and the other makes
of the American Piano Com
pany through their usual
channels. To prevent these
cut prices lasting beyond a
definite time and thus pre-
venting the regular sale at
regular prices of these stand
ard goods.
Well-the TIME IS UF

TO the Frederick Music Com
pany to do its part.
