 INDUSTRIAL BATTLES PENDING
Is the Belief of Leaders of United
 Mine Workers of America.

Indianapolis. Ind, Jan. 30.-One of the greatest industrial battles in the history of the United States impends. in the belief of the leaders of the United Mine Workers of America. The convention of the organization will ad- journ tomorrow night and it is prob able that ma jority of the eleven hun dred delegates will go to Toledo for the joint conference with the bituni- nous coal mine owners of western Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, which will open Tuesday, inasmuch as this conference will decide the basis of uniform contracts in all the other dis tricts of the United States and Can ada.
 The operators. according to reports, will not yield to an increase in wages. The sentiment in the National Miners union is unanimously for a general strike if the operators refuse an in crease of at least 10 per cent. The western Pennsylvania miners stand for a. 20 per cent. increase.
 The wage scale committee of the miners union will bring in it's report at the opening of tomorrow's session Of the convention and it is expected that the day will be spent in formulat- ing a contract to be presented to the operators on Tuesday.

Washington, Jan. 30.-Little head way has been made in the two months congress has been in session toward the enactment of important legislation demanded by President Taft; yet on every side are heard predictions of an early adjournment.

THE CORPORATION TAX,
 MANUFACTURERS PROTEST.
Many Connecticut Firms, Both Large
 and Small, Heard From.
(SpeciaI to The Bulletin.)

Washington, Jan. Connecticut
 manufacturers are flooding the Con- necticut members with protests against the corporation tax, and the smaller corporations especially fnSistent that the tax will work a great hardship up- disclose their business secrets, and larger concerns will take advantage of this. The protests also aim at the pro- vision which compeIs stock companies to have their returns in by March 1st, and the Connecticut concerns would like to have this date changed.
 The commissioner of internal revenue has ruled that he has no discretion in this matter. and cannot change the mandatory upon him, and these re- turns must be in by March 1st even though several suits are now pending in the supreme court to determine the question whether the tax is constitu- tional or not.
 While these. suits are pending, con- gross will not attempt to amend the preme court will be able to dispose of this question before March 1st and so all concerns affected by the original law will have to be ready with their returns by March 1st. There is much speculation as to what the supreme court will do, but of course no one can tell that until judgment is rendered.
 If the court decides that the tax is constitutional. it is not likely that con- gress will repeal it, although some amendments may be made later on. The senstiment of congress at the pres- ent time seems to be to retain the tax, and constitutional lawyers are quite confident that the supreme court will declare the tax constitutional.

MT Van Norden, Sr., was a. di- rector and his son a director and pres ident of the company. The new presi- ident of the company is Charles A. Moore, Sr., who is also chairman of the directors of the company are nearly all connected with the Carnegie Trust company, and the retirement of the Van Nordens gives strength to rumor widely current of late that the Van Norden Trust company, the Twelfth Ward bank, the Nineteenth Ward bank and the Carnegie Trust company will all merge.
 President Moore said tonight:
 fContral of the Van Norden Trust company changed hands some time ago"
 Bradley Martin, Jr one of the direc- tors, said tonight:
 fAThe directors of the Carnegie Trust company bought control of the Van Norden last year. They bought as in dfviduals and not as a com Dany. The runlor is not true that the Van Norden Trust company is to merge at once with the Carnegie Trust company. If action of this kind is taken it may come some time in the spring.
 Warner Van NOrden said last night: t'My son and I sold all our holdings last year. The announcement made to- day is simply official confrnlation-'' It was pointed out here tonight that O merger of1the sort denied would give the Car-Sgfe Trust company resources of nearly $40,000.000.

GERMAN N-AMERICAN
 ALLIANCE OF CONNECTICUT.
Annual Convention at New Haven
 Organization Very Prosperous.

New Haven, Conn, Jan 30.-Reports from the officers of the German-Ameri- can alliance of the state at the annual convention held here today showed the organization to be in an exceedingly prosperous condition and a large ad- dition to its membership during the past year. Emil Loos of New Haven gave an extensive report on the do- ings of the last legislature, especially in reference to the stand taken toward a strict enforcement of the so-calIed blue laws of the state, taking the stand that the pleasures of the people on that day were being curtailed to too great an extent. It was the general opinion of the convention that in the future the German voters of the state would take a more active interest in politics.
 Several minor amendments were made to the constitution and it was decided that the headquarters of the society should remain here. It was voted to hold the next state German day in this city in 1911.

THREATENED WAR OVER
 WEsT6OUND FREIGHT RATES
The New Haven cempany's Viewpoint
 of the Subject.

New Haven Conn, Jan 30.-At the office of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company here .t is stated authOritatively that the company will take no initiative in pre- .eIpitating the threatened war of the various lines over westward bound freight rates. The reduction of six cents to 69 cents in the class rate an nounced by the Erie and Lackawanfa fine, to go in effect on April 1 next, Is likely to affect the Ontario and Western business of the New Haven and it's Canadian Pacific business even more seriously than the business of the Grand Trunk but the New Haven road takes a passive attitude until a situa- -i0n more acute than the present one erEues
 The question now from the New Ha- ren's viewpoint is whether the other five trunk lines will follow the Erie and LackaWanna in reducing the west ward rate by six cents If they do so, ft is regarded as almost certain that corresponding reductions must follow upon all the lines having lower rates, including the lake and rail lines, and possibly of the Grand Trunk itself, which now enjoys a 65 cent rate on its through line via Long Island Sound, New London. the Vermont Central and fhe Grand Trunk line in Canada. The Grand Trunk has thus far refused to make an increase of five cents in it's rate which was demanded by the standard lines and must make any de- cision in the matter promptly as new -zriff must be filed not later than March 1st, to be effective April 1st, the date fixed by the Lackawanna and Erie While the Grand Trunk rate has been the object of the attack by the Erie and Lackawanna and the Grand Trunk company nominally holds the key to the situation, the actual attack, is believed to be aimed quite as much at the New Ravens rate over the On- rario and Western and Canadian Pa .ific-
 The effect of a general reductions of the standard Iinez would be probably a general lowering on all the lines hav- ing lower rates, including the southern ocean and rail lines.
