We never can tell what these factions

democrats change their present methods

MATCH BILL IS PASSED
House Acts on Measure Put
ting Prohibitive Tax on
PHOSPHORUS Variety.

After a heated debate the House late
yesterday afternoon passed the bill
fathered by Representative Hughes of
New Jersey. which imposes a prohibitive
tax on PHOSPHORUS matches In the United
States, and which is intended to put the
industry out of business. The final vote
was 163 to 30. Minority Leader Mann
was the only republican who joined the
democratic opposition to the measure, the
fight for which was inspired by the high
death rate among workers in the phos-
phorous match factories Of this country.
Majority Leader Underwood opposed
the bill on the ground that it established
the dangerous precedent Of Congress
using It's power to tax out Of existence
any industry it pleased. provided the Su-
preme Court upheld the constitutionality
of such legislation.
