.Uniontown. Pa. July 27-The total death list in the floods in this sec- tion will number more than sixty. Hundreds are homeless and without food Many towns and villages are isolated, and as railroad tracks are washed out sending supplies is diffi cult The upper picture shows the destruction in this town. When it was made men were busy clearing debris from the stream to prevent a jam that would have done greater damage. Notice the billiard table on the railroad track. The lower picture shows where water entered the Su- perba coal mine, near here, in which eighteen miners are known to have been drowned. Efforts were made to construct a dam that would keep the water out, but they were unsuccess- full.

The Enprmity Of the Tax on Woole
@S444E tcooaa

The Enormity Of the Tax on Woolen
Goods.
When q women purchases $40
worth OF wooden dress goods, $4.S7
Of that $40 represents the value OF
the goods and the remaining. $5.13
Of the $40 the amount Of the tariff.
In other words, should the purchase
be made in England, where there is
no tariff on woolens, the woman
would receive the same amount and
and quality OF dress goods for $4.S7
that she pays SO for in this coun-
try.
This ds because OF the Payne-Ald-
rich ad valorem tariff rate Of 1o5
per cent. When the democrats
came into power in the House OF
Representatives they framed q bill
which would reduce the tax on wool
ems nearly 40 per cent. The senate
passed similar bill. President
TAFT vetoed the bill, which prevented
cheaper and better woolens 70
American consumers. The democratic
majority OF the House now presents
the bill again. y
President TAFT will have less ex1
cuse to veto the bill than before. He
declared on the first occasion that q
certain tariff board had not made
its report, and that to permit re-
duction OF the duties might make II
impossible for the WOODEN manufac-
turers to protect their working,
men. 5.$i.s
The tariff board report justifiesf q
downward revision Of the wooden
schedule. d Then since the President
vetoed the wool bill there has
been a strike OF the textile workers
at Lawrence, Mass, which has re,
vealed beyond argument and beyond
contradiction that the WOODEN trust
magnates have been tooling and
cheating the public all the time. The
strike OF the IS, 81 and IS a week
men, women and children in the
wooden mills brought to light the
fact that while the mill owners have
been declaring they were protect
ing their workers with fair wages
and decent working conditions. they
have been paying them starvation il';t u
wages and treating them almost like
animals.
The last leg has been Knocked
from under the wool tax argument
and President Taft has no excuse le1t
to explain a veto OF the democratic
downward revision wool bill. The
President vetoed the first wool bill
not for the welfare OF either con-
sumers or WOODEN trust owners who
contributed to his campaign 1und.
Il he vetoes the newly introduced
wool biz it will be for the same rea.
son, and the people will 50 under
stand it..
