THE INCOME TAX.
Its Supporters Block BaiIey's Plan for
Vote on 1t on June 10.

Washington. May 25.--Had it not
been for the attitude of the Progress
sive Republicans" who favor adoption
OF an income tax amendment TO the
tariff bill, it is probable that Senator
Bailey might have reached an agree
ment today with members of the fl
nance committee for a vote on this
amendment on June 10.
Offence was taken by some of the
sC-called insureent Republicans. be
cause of the notice served by the Tex
as senator Yesterday that no general
agreements could be obtained on any
phase of the tariff bill SO long as Sen
ator Aldrich refused permission for the
fixing Of time for a vote on Senator
Bailey's income tax amendment
1t was made clear at informal con-
ference today that the Republicans
who are supporting the Cummins
amendment, desire the continuance of
the coalition with the Democrats. but
that they did not want it at the eX-
rense Of surrendering the control of
the income tax fight to the Democrats.
Senator Cummins conveyed this view
to Senator Bailey.
Before this action was taken. however,

members of the finance committee relat-

As cmissary of the National Board

problem. the force behind the strike:
second, an announced wish of many
persons in this section to have Geor-

rival Mr. Neil was in private confer
encc with General Manager Scott of
the Georgia Railroad. with no intima-
ton as to when the negotiations might
bring results.
What a remarkable feat this handful
of union firemen accomplished and
what power was behind them became
apparent today when a considerable
section of this state was compelled to
rely upon automobiles for passenger
mail and express service. and when the
transportation of such necessities of
life as food dropped back to the meth
DDS OF d former degree of civilization
namely, the wagons and even pack
animals.

of the sugar schedule. but did not
reach vote on it, Instead, the time
was entirely given over to speech
making. Strange to say. the two
speeches on the subject. while made
by the Democrats, were in strong adj
vocacy of high tariff on sugar of all
grades. They We're by Senators Fos-
ter and McEnery of Louisiana. Mr..
Foster laughingly deprecated the APP
plication Of the word Protection" to
his attitude, but Mr.. McEnery boldly
espoused the protective theory and
openly advised his Democratic friends
to follow his example. He declared
protection to be in the line Of Demo-
cratic policy. Mr.. McEnery was
cheered by the cheerful tone of the
leading senators, but his remarks re-
ceived scant attention from his Demo-

length in support OF his contention
that President Taft had. previous to

to prove that if the tariff bill now be-

that under the maximum and mini
