at the close Of the year.
Collection Machinery Soon Ready.
The machinery for the collection of the
income tax will be installed beginning
January I and rapidly completed. That
means that the office force Of what was
the corporation tax division will be In
creased to seventy or seventy-tive clerks
many of them already at work, to make
II the new income tax division OF the IN
ternal revenue bureau. 1t means that
the field force under the various internal
revenue collectors of the United States
for the purposes Of collecting the income
tax will be augmented by about 400 EN-
ployes.
For long time Commissioner Osborn
of the internal revenue bureau, with
Deputy Commissioner Spear. In charge of
the income tax division, have been con-
sidering the prospective appointments IN
the field service. Representatives in
Congress who have interest IN the pa
tronage and collectors have been con-
suited. Nearly everywhere agreement has
been satisfactorily reached between all
interests concerned. Yet appointments
will be made in the field service, begin
ming January /, generally. regardless of
whether the national legislators are con-
tent or at odds among themselves at the
selections to be made
The work will not be delayed because
of any strife over patronage.
There is every prospect that the field
force will not be adequate to handle the
big business put upon the collection dis
tricts by the new income tax law. Con-
gress probably will be asked to increase
the number allowed by 10 per cent or
more

der-surface mutterings, rather than actu-
al developments. marked the copper mine
strike situation today. Fears of radical
action have caused some extraordinary
precautions to be taken, but so far as
could be learned there was no good foun-
dalton for such fear
AS result of this feeling, however.
the usual holiday gatherings in churches
and halls have been closely guarded by
deputy sheriffs. Children of members OF
the Citizens Alliance, who attended en-
tertainments under the leadership of
ministers who have cast their lot with
that organization. did so with armed Of
ficers stationed at approaches to the
building.
Inquiry Into Fire Panic.
The coroner's inquest into the Christ
mas eve panic developed slowly this
morning. One woman swore she heard
two shots fired in the height of the
panic, but her hearing was more acute
than that of others, who told only OF the
cries of fire and the sound of the
rushing feet punctuated by overturning
chairs and screams of frightened women
and children.
