LOCAL TRADE BODY'S AID ASKED
IN FIGHT ON INCOME TAX LAW.
indianapolis Chamber of Com
merce thinks Enforcement of
Measure will lnjure
Business

Is nation wide appeal to congress
about to be started for modification
of certain phases of the income tax
law?
This is the idea, which members of
practically every board of trade, cham
Der of commerce and business associa-
ton in the United States have just had
thrust before their attention, it is said,
as result of the vigorous campaign
started by the indianapolis Chamber of
Commerce.
The resolution, passed by that body
week ago, was of such a radical nature,
that story of the same was handled
over the Associated Press leased wires
as well as the lines of numerous other
news gathering organizations.
The local board of trade yesterday re-
ceived copy of the resolution. and at
the meeting of the board of governors
it was read and referred to the commit
tee on legislation. The campaign is be-
ing conducted from the Indianapolis
chambers able publicity bureau, and its
communications have been mailed to
every city and town in the nation, urg-
ing similar action, it is said, in the
name of business.
They ask that the board of trade here
join in an appeal to congress to modify
the requirements for deduction at the
source of income, or suspend the same
for period of two years. This suspen-
sion they argue would allow the people
concerned to grow accustomed to the
principles of income taxation and to
substitute in the meantime methods for
obtaining adequate information without
obstructing or endangering business.
The legislation committee will con-
slider the communication during the next
few days and render report, with a
recommendation to the next regular
meeting Of the board of governors.
! General interest was aroused in the sub
| ject at issue when the communication
was read yesterday. 1t wss the emphatic
belief of the indianapolis trade body
that the operation of the income tax
laws will injure business to mark &c
degree if they go into effect.
The uniqueness of campaign, launched
as it has been by a single Commercial
organization of the country. and wha'
results may come from it are alsC

$500. 900, 900 IN WAGES PAID OUT
IN YEAR 1918.
Railroads File Statistics With
Commerce Board Showing
Increases

The railroads participating in the
application for increasing rates have
filed with the Interstate Commerce
Commission statistics showing how
wages have increased on these roads
during the past several years.
The various railroad companies in
this territory paid out $500, 900, 600 in
wages and salaries in the year ending
June 80, 1913. Estimates for 20 of the
SO railroad systems concerned show an
increase in wages for 1918 over 1910 of
$48, 618, 772. Al, due to changes in rates
of pay and working conditions.
This figure was obtained as result
of request to the railroads to take
the actual performance for the year
ending June 80, 1913, and compare the
rates of pay and working condi tons
prevailing at that period with those in
effect in October, 1909, a period prior
to the date of the important increases.
In addition to the increases up to
June 80, 1913, careful estimates show
that the increase in wages recently
granted to the firemen, conductors and
trainmen will add not less than S., $50,
600 more to the expenses of the rail
road parties to the respective arbi-
tration proceedings, this estimate being
based on the volume of business for the
calendar year 1912.
In addition to the average increases
granted in the calendar year 1910, &
small portion of which was effective il
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1913, the
engineers, firemen, conductors anC
trainmen have been awarded increase:
through arbitration proceedings amount
ing to $40, $50, 900 per annum on the
Eastern Railroads and increases il
rates of pay have been granted to vari
Gus other classes of labor amounting t
large sums in the aggregate in add
ton to those granted in the year 1910.
Taken altogether, there has been al
increase of 10. 62 per cent in the aver
age rates of pay on these railroads il
1918 over 1910.
Figures for the Pennsylvania system
show that during the year 1913 the var
ious companies of the system paid il
wages the sum of $3.50, 1897, 069-a
increase for the 1918 payroll of $18, 0SS,
972 over what would bave been paid t,
the same number of employees at tn
rate of wages prevailing in 1909.
Various increases and adjustments il
wages from 1901 up to June 80, 1913
applied to the 1913 performance, adde'
over $45, 900, 900 t. the payrols of tn
Pennsylvania system companies by rea
son of changes in rates of pay ant
We rking conditions.
The records of the New York centra
lines show that wages paid since 1911
have amounted to $40, 200, 900 NOR
than would have been the case had no
the successive increases and adjust
ments been made.
On the Baltimore and Ohio Railroa
the increases amounted in this period t
S4, 069, Ola.

PINNED BENEATH OVER
TURNED CAR.
Broekton Man Dies When Machine
Turns Turtle.

Stoughton, Mass, Dec. 22.-Pinned
for over an hour beneath his over
turned automobile, r. Dale Smith, a.
prominent Brockton man, died on the
roadbed in Washington street while his
companion, DIR. Charles l. Graustein,
lay stunned beside him.
Within hundred yards were several
houses, but their occupants were asleep
and unconscious of the tragedy.
Smith was dying when DR.. Graustein
regained consciousness. He could hear
the groans of his friend while he strug-
gled to free himself from the ove>n
turned car. But by the time he had
extricated himself, searched about the
touring car and found Smith his pulse
had stopped. An hour passed between
the time of the accident and when the
physician felt about in the darkness for
his wounded companion.
The two men were bound from Bos-
ton to Brockton. They reached Slough
ton about clock in the morning. On
Washington street the machine skidded.
DR.. Graustein says that when the auto
began to slew on the roadbed Smith put
on more power in an effort to keep the
machine on its track The wheels,
however, failed to catch the earth.
The auto described an arc, and then,
swapping in the air, fell upside down.
Smith was pinioned beneath the engine.
DR.. Graustein in some manner caught
his foot in a forward wheel and was
rendered unconscious when the machine
fell.
An hour later, according to DR.. Grau-
stein, he regained his senses. His foot
was still caught in the wheel and with
difficulty and much pain he extricated
it.
DR.. Graustein then went to the near
est house, that of John Webb, who
woke up several of the neighbors and
notified the police of both Stoughton
and Brock ton.
The party went Immediately back to
the place here the automobile was
overturned, lifted it up and found Smith
dead beneath it.

WATERMELONS
and PROSPERITY
Have Brought Joy to the
Heart of Farmer Joiner.

H. F. Joiner of Florahome is tbs
watermelon king Of Putnam county
for this year of grace, 1913.
Mr.. Joiner's watermelon orchard
is at Florahome where there is muck
for melons and money to cremate fol
all who are willing to work in the
richest soil to be found in the state
Mr.. Joiner brought a car load of
melons to Palatka on Monday, the car
containing over 1000 lucious, help
me-to-s'more yum-yum's which he
readily disposed of in this city the
next day for an average of 20 cents
each.
Mr.. Joiner was also so we'll pleased
with Palatka as market for water
melons that he is going to do so some
more, though this is his third car SO
far this season in this city. The G. S.
d F. R'y is right accommodating in
that it gave him permission to keep
the car three days in Palatka in order
to dispose of his stock.
Only last week The News called at
tentlon to Mr.. Hubner's potato crop
which he has also marketed in this
city at S1.OO per bushel, yielding him
1915.
These crops were grown on the
muck land and without use of ferti-
llzer. When these lands are drained
as they now bid fair to be and soon
the Florahome section is bound to fiji
up with a crowd of thrifty farmers
VINO are going to make Putnam coun-
ty hum, agriculturally.

Early Morning Wedding.

The marriage of unusual interes
this week was that which united Miss
Nellie Estelle, daughter of Mr.. anc
Mrs. w. S. Fry, to Mr.. Thos. ByrC
Gillespie of Birmingham, Ala, or
Wednesday morning.
The ceremony took place at St
Marks church at six o'clock and was
solemnized by Archdeacon Wyllie
in the presence of large congrega-
ton of representative ladies and gen.
tlemen of the city. The church was
handsomely decorated for the occa-
] sion, the gathering people being as
signed seats by the ushers, Messrs.
Charles Burt and E. Perry Ross.
Promptly at the hour set for the
ceremony the bride entered on the
arm of her father and proceeded slow.
| ly up the aisle to the music of the
march eXquisitely rendered by Mrs. D.
j.. Coughlin. At the altar she was
Joined by the groom who had entered
the church from the side door.
The ceremony was the full service
Of the church and was most Impress
lively said, and at its conclusion the
newly welded couple moved slowly
out while the organ sounded the we'd
ding march.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gillespie took the ear
y train over the East Coast Railway
for Jacksonville, whence they pro-
ceeded directly to Birmingham, Ala,
the home of the groom.
The bride wore a Copenhagen blue
coat suit with hat to match and
white accessories, ,also beautiful
diamond sunburst, the gift of her pa
rents.
The bride was born and reared in
Palatka and is one of the city's most
attractive and popular young ladies.
From the many who viewed the pretty
ceremony The News heard but one
comment from those who, while re-
lolclng in her new found happiness,
saw in her departure for distant
state loss of one who had added her
share to the attractiveness of the city,
namely, "Too bad she is leavine
home; we shall miss her."
The groom is young man who
has made an enviable record in the
business world though still young in
years. His record is one that marks
1lm as one of the captains of indus
try for his day and time. For some
time he has been the financial man
Of the Alabama Paving Co. of Birm-
ngham, and the man who has CAP
.ured business for his company in all
)arts of the South. 1t was while su-
'ervlsing the paving of Palatka
streets that he met the charming
Eoung lady who is now his bride.
At the train a large party of
riends saw them off and scattered the

hoes as they entered the parlor car. t
