WESTERN UNION MAY
EIVJO|N GEM STATE

BOISE. Ida, April Chasing its ac-
tion upon the contention that the state
board Of equalization fixed the rate OF
taxes against the company's property too
high, the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany has refused TO pay It's tax assess
ments in practically every county in the
state of Idaho, according to county Off
cials
The taxes against the Western Union
are long past due and it is probable that
unless payments are made to the sew
eral counties, a personal seizure of the
companys telegraph poles, instruments,
office equipment and other holdings will
be made by the authorities
Such action is virtually authorized by
an opinion rendered by o, NJ. Van Duyn,
assistant attorney general, who said that
the assessed property Of the Western
Union should come under the classified
ton of personal property. and, II so. the
procedure of personal seizure in the event
OF further refusal TO pay the taxes
would naturally result
From authoritative sources II is learned
that there exists a strong probability
that the Western Union, In anticipa tion
Of a personal seizure OF their wires
poles and other assessed property in the
several counties, VIII apply to the fed
erdl court for a nandamus to prevent the
county assessors OF the state from seiz-
Ing It's property.

WHITE STAR Liver
IS UNABLE To SAIL

SOUTHAMPTON, England, April
25.-When the White Star liner
Olympic, sister ship Of the Titanic,
was ready TO sail from here yesterday
for New York, three hundred firemen
and engine room workers quit the yes
sci, declaring that the collapsible boats
on the Olympic were unseaworthy. The
Olympic is lying off Ryde. Isle of
Wight. with 400 passengers aboard
and no possibility OF sailing before
noon today, if then.
There were reports that some OF the
passengers had refused to sail. but Tor
the present all remain on board the
steamer. IL also was reported soon
after the strike was begun that the
company had succeeded IN getting men
10 take the strikers places, but this
proved incorrect.
As a matter Of fact. the difficulty
has extended TO the crew, which now
declines to sail with the blackleg'
firemen. who were brought aboard yes
tcrday. and the British Seafarers
union Is supporting the men in this de-
clsion. Pickets are pstrolling the
docks 10 prevent the recruiting OF
hlalcklegs.
In endeavoring to have the strikers
return TO work, Commander Clarke
chief OF the Immigration office in
Southampton, offered to demonstrate
IN the Cowes roads that the boats
on the Olympic were safe. The meu
refused TO listen 10 this proposal but
later. II is learned. declared that they
would have been ready TO sail if the
company had agreed TO demonstrate
the seaworthiness of the boats at this
port This, in turn, the company de
clined TO do.
Clarke. who is acting board of trade
Inspector at southampton. in an inter
view said he personally Inspected these
boats and tested some Of them in the
water and did not condemn a singl,
one. Moreover, he added. they al
nave been inspected and passed by tht
admiralty.
According 70 one report. the strik
crs were mis!ed into thinking tha,
some of the collapsible boats had beer
rejected by the board of trade. and i
Is thought possible that the misunder
standing will be cleared up today
Among the passengers aboard Ia,
Olympic is the Dnkc of Sutherland.

Moral Injustice.

As 10 the legal question whether
this company's organization has been
n violation OF the Sherman law, ! am
not particularly interested nor have
] any fixed position on the. subject
| therefore feel that the starting OF a
suit under the Sherman law against
this company would be a moral in
justice and reversal OF the correct
and advanced modern policy of the
presidency In dealing with corporate
business.
This case raises the question in
cluded in what the president has
called good and bad trusts: the
such shall be prohibited; whether the
government is going TO try TO for
bid all combinations regardless OF
their methods or ends. or whether,
on the other hand. IT is geing TO pur-
sue tho policy stated by the presi-
dent OF regulation and control rather
than of prohibition.
Finally this case against the com
Dsuy is a civil, not a criminal one
Delay will not affect the case through
any statute OF limitation. II there
Is good equitable case against the
company, II will be In a thousand
fold better shape for trial after The
investigation BY the bureau than
now.

discussion OF the possibility that the dis
