Unions and ReIigion.-Mr. Water
mans plea for more religion in unions
and more union men in churches is
all wen enough, but it calls for a
definition of religion. That is a much
misunderstood word. Does religion
mean the worship of Deity in groups
according to belief or training, or
does it mean the pursuit of some high
ideals, regardless of individual com
ception of God. If he means the
ideals, regardless of individual con-
Unionisn's greatest need is high
ideals. IF he means the latter, he
cannot know what religious faction

Real dnionism if it means anything
means the extension of the principles

ON THE JOB TONIGHT

With the return of Mayor Harrison
from his trip to New Mexico. and
Arizona the city hall took on a lively
appearance today. The mayor will
take his place at the head of the city
council tonight when the new alder
men will appear for the first time.
Harrison was reticent as to several
appointments he has to fill with the
exception of fire chief. Acting Chief
O'Connor will be given this place.
Harrison also announced that he
would cooperate with States Attor-
ney Hoyne in an effort to rid the city
of gunner. He will not revoke the
license of Roy Jones' cafe until
Hoyne asks him to.
Harrison repeated his loyalty to
President Wilson. He said that much

right on both the Mexican question
and the tolls exemption bill

Wilson's policy as opposed to Hearst's

INCOME TAX.
Despite Regulations Sent
Out and Minute Explana-

Law--Checks Received in
Washington.

Washington, Jan. 15.-Despite all
the thousands forms and scores of
regulations issued by the treasury de-
partment concerning the manner in
which the income tax is to be paid
it has been unable to. clear up misap-
prehension about the law. Within the
last few days two checks have been
received at the department in pay
ment of the tax on income withheld
at the source.
The tax is payable to the collector of
internal revenue in the proper district
and in each case the treasury for
warded the check to collector to be
returned later to Washington. One of
the surprising features was that the
checks came, not from individuals.
who might misinterpret the law with
out consultation with lawyers or 9TH
ers we'll informed, but from financial
institutions that officials expected
would know better.
With the sending out, however, OF
hundreds of thousands of forms to be
used by individuals, the department
expects shortly to receive hundreds OF
checks and money orders in payment
of the tax. To forward this money to
the proper collectors, one clerk will
be assigned with no other duties.

HAWAIIAN CASES BEFORE
U, S. SUPREME COURT.

Washington, Jan. 15.-Because Pres
ident Wilson has not appointed new
Judge to the bench OF the supreme
court of Hawaii an appeal was maoe
today To, the supreme court of the
United States to determine the legal
itv of the acts of the Hawaiian courts,
since the commission of Justice An
tonic Perry expired on May 8, 1913.
Justice Perry was appointed by
President Taft and commissioned on
May 6, 1909, to serve four years. Sub
ject to the provisions of the law"
Since May 6, 1918, Justice Perry has
continued to participate in the delib-
erations of the court. No successor
has been appointed.
John F. Colburn, who was sued by a
tax collector for taxes in Hawaii,
brought the case to the supreme
court, contending that a decision of the
Hawaiian supreme court against him
is void because Justice Perry had no
authority to sit.

SHIPPERS WILL ARGUE
AGAINST INCREASED RATES,

Washington, Jan. 15.-Shippers Will
have opportunity to present TO the IN
terstate Commerce Commission their
objections to specific instances in the
per cent. increase of freight rates
proposed by the 50 Eastern railroads.
They will not be obliged to present
objections to the increase as whole,
but may develop testimony on the
cost of moving certain classes OF traf-
fic.
This was decided by the Interstate
Commerce Commission today with an
announcement that the shippers would
first be heard in regard to petroleum
at a near date, soon to be announced.
Hearings on other commodities Will
be heard as rapidly as possible.
The railroads have not yet answer
ed the Inquiries filed with them Dec.
20 so that the commission is neces-
sxrily deferring it's hearings on the
broader questions involved, but de-
cided to expedite the proceedings as
far as possible by commencing at once
hearings on objections by the various
associations and shippers interested.

The GARMENT men
BLAME LAWYERS FOR
MOST OF TROUBLES

New York, Jan. 15.-The commission on
industrial relations. appointed by Presi-
dent Wilson with the authority of Con-
gress, held its first session here today
and considered the treaty of peace gov
erning relations between the garment
workers and manufacturers of New York.
Its aim was to learn whether this agree
ment could be extended to other indus
tries.
Abraham Rosenberg and John A.
Dyche, president and secretary respec-
lively of the International Lady's Gar
ment Workers Union, differed regarding
the effect of the agreement Rosenberg
said that 1t was responsible for better
working conditions, but Dyche thought
that the improvement was due to the
strike of 1910. Lawyers" said Dyche,
have been responsible for most of the
troubles of the labor unions
