TAX CHURCHES
TO PAY DEFICIT
CHICAGO PASTOR HAS PLAN TO
RAISE MONEY If THE CITY
VOTES "DRY."

Chicago, March 14.-The Rev. john
ston Myers, in his sermon yesterday
morning at the Emmanuel Baptist
church on If Chicago Should Go Dry,
exposed a new phase in the anti-sa-
loon controversy when he showed til It
whatever deficit in the city treasury
which might occur as a result OF the
abolition of the saloon license could be
adequately met by taxing all church
property in the city which has hither-
to gone untaxed.
III Chicago should go dry we could
reduce the expenses Of the city at
least one-half," said DR. Myers. "This
would more than provide for any in
come which the city now receives from
the saloons. Seventy-five per cent Of
the policeman's time Is given to car
ing for the products OF the saloon. Our
jails and police stations would be
quiet places. In dry districts where
the saloons have been absent for two
years the jails have been sold, be-
cause there has not been single oc-
cupant during that time.
There is at least $1,000, 1000 dollars
worth of property in Chicago which is
not taxed. The churches themselves
would be glad to pay taxes II the sa-
looms were abolished. Indeed, they
could afford to pay the taxes because
they are now spending hundreds Of dol
lors caring for the wives and children
of drunkards.

NO CHANCE OF
RAIL STRIKE
SAYS OFFICIAL
SPEAKING FOR FoRTY-sEvEN
ROADS INVOLVED IN FlREMEN'S
NEGOTIATIONS HE SAYS THERE
WILL BE NO WALK OUT.

Chicago, March 14.-The probability
of great railroad strike was de-
precated today by prominent rail-
road official. Speaking for forty-seven
railroads involved In the flremen wage
controversy he declared there was alb
solutely no chance of a ::walk out"
Officers Of the union could not say
what would be the result should the
railroads s reply to their letter be I'M
favorable.
The Letter Of Notification.
The threatened walk-out Of $4,000
fireMen on practically all the railroad
systems between Chicago and the Pa
cifc coast reached critical stage
Sunday, when w. S. Carter, president
of the Brotherhood Of Locomotive
Firemen and Enginemen, formally no.
titled the railroads that IL the entire
controversy was not submitted to arbi-
tration, a strike would be inevitable.
Mr.. Carter's letter of notification

men on about forty-seven railroads
west, northwest and southwest Of Chi
cago. The letter was sent by w. G.
Nixon, general manager Of the st.
Louis g. San Francisco railroad, chair
man of the Federation of General
Managers committee and reads:
"Your letter of this date (March 13),
wherein you state that the managers

matters In controversy. has been re-
ceived and in reply our committee in
structs me to say:
eff there is to be great railway
strike the responsibility must and
will, rest upon the managers commit
tee. That there may be no misunder-
standing concerning this responsibility
our committee hereby proposes the
submission Of the matters in dispute
to an adjustment by arbitration.
Committee Denies Statement.
'"The public has been informed,
through the press, that matters In con-
troversy cannot be arbitrated, because
they involve the authority Of railway
officials and the discipline Of employees.
This statement our committee emphat-
ically denies.
"The officials Of many railways rep
resented by the managers committee

injustice perpetrated under the pres
ent practices.
"Our committee directs me to re-
quest the managers committee,
through you, If this proposition to ar
bitrate is not accepted by the manag-
ers' committee that you notify us at
your earliest convenience"
The railroads previously announced
their willingness to arbitrate the in
creased wage demand, which the fire.
men say would amount to about 121A
per cent. Two other demands involv-
ed, the managers say, concern disci-
pline and authority and are not open
to arbitration. These points have to
do with the promotions firemen and
questions whether, when they become
enginemen. they are still under the
jurisdiction of the brotherhood.
