HOUSE PASSES INCOME
TAX BY LARGE MAJORITY
Eighty Republicans Join Democrats
in Vote on Measure-Expect
Senate to Concur.

Washlngton.-The Democratic EX-
else bill TO tax virtually everybody's S
income when it is $4,000 or more a
year passed the House, $50 to 40. The
Democrats voted solidly for it, and
carried so Republican votes with
them. Forty regular Republicans were
the opposition.
The bill now goes to the Senate,
where its fate is a guess. Many Sena-
tors said that if on analysis they found
the House measure would tax all
classes Of people alike they would sup
port 1t. Democratic Senators, with a
few exceptions, are expected to vote
for it. Democratic Leader Martin eX-
pressed the hope that the Democratic
Senators and the progressive Republi-
cans might put the bill through. Re-
publican leaders are depending on the
Presidents veto to check revenue re-
vision bills from the House.
Tic Excise bill, though primarily in
tended to produce anywhere from $780,
100000 to $6O,O0O0OO a year to make
up for the losses on free sugar, is also
expected to be one of the offsets to
general pension legislation, which
seems sure to be enacted. Democrat
ic Leader Underwood held his MAORI
ty intact through the passage of the
bill. Not one Democratic vote was cast
against it, and the measure was pass
ed exactly as framed.
An outburst of applause from the
Democratic side accompanied the an
nouncement of the vote, and was re-
newed when it was learned that 80
Republicans had voted for the meas
ure.
The bill would extend the existing
Corporation Tax law to include tax
of per cent. on the yearly net in
comes of all firms or individuals in ex-
cess of $4,000.

HUNGRY TOILERS

Desperate Effort to Stop SUI

FOR MINIMUM WAGE BILL
Ex-Premier's Opposition to Legislation
Rushed to End Coal Strike Voted
Down by Large Majority-ln-
creasine Destitution.

London.-By an astonishingly large
majority, the minimum wage bill was
passed in Parliament and it is hoped
that the unprecedented distress caus-
ed by the coal strike will cease. Al
ready the strikes consequences are
appalling and every day sees further
curtailment of business and railway
services.
1t is announced that the Great East
ern Railway, which up to the present,
because of its enormous coal reserve,
has been able to maintain full SER
vice, will begin to cut down. The tram
way company serving the London su-
burbs was given notice to its employ
es that it will not be able to run any
cars after the end of the month.
From all great Industrial districts
come tales of increasing destitution.
intensified by the cold and inclement
weather, and, in the northern coun-
ties, snow and sleet. The Paisley
Thread Mills were closed, letting out
10000 workers.
The ports are all congested by idle
shipping. 1t is estimated that tonnage
amounting to 100000 is lying idle at
the Southampton docks, including the
liners Oceanic, Majestic, st. Paul
New York and Philadelphia.
The total of the men out of employ
ment is increasing daily. and it is now
estimated that besides the million
miners on strike nearly two million
other persons have been made idle
The people in many centres daily
besiese the offices of the mayors,
where relief is freely distributed. 1t
is thought probable that unless some
thing is quickly done to bring the crisis
to an end, hunger marches, such as
that which took place in the fishing
town of Grimsby, when three hundred
starving men marched to the town
hall and begged for relief, will become
a common sight all over the country.
Details of the hundreds of individu-
al cases of starvation and suffering

Through the Lancashire district con-
ditions are pitiab!e. Relief funds have

where fully 40 per cent. of the coal
workers are women and quite 10 per
cent. children
Men and women are literally starv-
ing by tens of thousands. But it is
war to finish with the miners. Their
leaders vow they will starve to death
before they will give in. The fight is
equally bitter on the side of the opera
tors, who insist the Minimum Wage
bill Is revolutionary, blackmailing
piece of legislation. Some of them
hint that the mines may remain clos.
ed; but no one believes this for a mo-
ment. Their profits are quite enough
to take care of the minimum wage.

is GIVING AWAY
HIS REAL ESTATE
Phipps Tired of the Burden Its
Care Entails
TEN MILLION GOES TO SONS
Were Not Previously suffering for Ne.
cessities of Life-Public Ben
efactions of Donor Have
Been Many.

Pittsburgh, Pa.-Henry Phipps, Sr.,
has divested himself of his realty
holdings in this city, estimated at
SlO,OOO,OO0, by giving it to three sons,
John s., Henry and Howard Phipps,
all of Nassau county, New York The
gift includes the Fulton, Bessemer
and Manufacturers skyscrapers, ali on
the banks of the Allegheny, the McEl-
veen Furniture Company's building,
the Phipps model tenements on the
North Side, besides other less well
known but valuable parcels. Included
in the gift are two farms, one in Ross
township and another in Jefferson
township.
The deed is an ordinary typewrit-
ten document in which no space is
wasted with recitals other than de-
scribing the properties. Nothing is
said about how the three sons are TO
share in the ownership of the pre- per
ty; the $10,000,O00 more or less of
skyscrapers and other real estate is
just given them in fee. Henry Phipps
and his wife, Mrs. Annie c. Phipps,
signed and acknowledged the docu-
ment in New York city, the date in
the transfer being March IL, 1912.
Less than a month ago Mr. Phipps
gave his boys" $3,000,O00 worth OF
Chicago real estate, and neither the
father nor the sons would comment
upon that gift which. it was said, was
simply to relieve the parent of much
work and worry. 1t was not because
John s., Henry C, and Howard need
the real estate. The elder ones,
John and Henry, have mansions OF
their own in Long Island that are as
imposing as their fathers in New
York. They own enough of the
United States steel Corporation to
enable them to have homes in Pitts
burgh and estates in Scotland. The
youngest son, Howard lives mostly
with his father, and also has Few
bonds of the Steel Corporation in his
deposit vault.
The sisters of the Phipps boys, who
do not share in the Pittsburgh real
estate, are Helen, now Mrs. Bradley
Martin, and Amy, now the wife OF the
Hon. Frederick Guest.
Mr.. Phipps a few years ago spent
s1,OOO,OOO building model tenements
in New York. He gave 100000 for
a Phipps Institute to treat tuberculosis
in Philadelphia, his birthplace. He
gave a similar sum to Johns Hopkins
University, Baltimore, Md, for the
study of insanity,
A few of his other beneficiencies
have been 100000 for the aid OF the
Beer families distressed by the war
with England; $4,000 to Paris to
fight tuberculosis; 100000 for scien-
tiic research in India; $4,000 for
memorial to Henry Ward Beecher,
and $4,000 to the Educational Alli-
ance of this city.

ROOSEVELT FEARS oLIeARcHY
Tells Audience Taft Doesn't Believe
In Popular Government.

In Popular Government.
New York.-Speaking to large, at.
tentive and enthusiastic audience in
Carnegie Hall, Theodore Roosevelt, in
his first appeal made in this State for
the Republican nomination for the
Presidency, explained his Columbus
speech, enunciated a more moderate
doctrine than he laid down then, at
tackled President Taft unQualifedly
for the latter's Massachusetts address,
and stirred the audience to applause
in a passion of oratory which carried
the radical portion of his audience
with him.
That President Taft does not believe
in popular government that he inclines
to oligarchy or government of the
many by the few, and that representa-.
tive government in this country is
tending TO oligarchy and has got to be
altered to true democracy, are some
of the things Colonel Roosevelt told
his audience.
