MAY MERGE
The RADIUM
INTERESTS
Conference Of DCCtOrS With
Mt. DUPONT May have I'M
pOTtlnt Bearing
URGE GOVERNMENT
To TAKE OVER LAND


DUPONT Dr. Howard A. Kelly and
Doctor Burnham. at Mr.. duPonts
home on sunday may have an inn
portant bearing on the radium situ-
alton in this country. Although the
matter has not yet progressed be-
yond tho preliminary stage. IL may
be stated that Mr.. DUPONT and Doctor
Kelly are seriously considering the
advisability OF merging the radium
interests of MIR. DUPONT aud those OF
the Radium Institute financed by
Doctor Kelly and Doctor Douglas. of
New York lf this should come to
pass il VIII place under one control
the largest area OF radium-hearing
ore-carnotito and pitchblende-in
the world
Mr.. DUPONT and his associates also
are deeply interested In the methods
employed in the extraction OF radium
from ores at cost within reason.
Doctor Burnham went abroad some
time ago, to study foreign methods of
manufacture. but found that virtually
all information was denied 10 him,
especially at the French Radium In
sttute This applies also to Ameri-
can manufacturers, according to Mr.
dupont, who now places reliance
upon the experiments being made at
the United States Bureau of Mines.
Situation is Serious.
"lhe situation. SO far as the process
and cost of the manufacture of radium
is concerned, is serious said Mr.. du-
pont today. Doctor Burnham could
get little information in this respect and
liny agents abroad have not Jared much
better. The methods originally em-
plos ed by the Curies to extract radium.
requires 1000 separate crystalizations.
and it takes almost a year to accom-
plish the final act This, together with
the capital tied up, Is the cause Of the
/ prohibtve price OF radium"
In reply 90 query as TO what he
and his associates were doing toward
obtaining a more plentiful and cheaper
supply of the precious mineral, Mr.. du.
pont said that every nerve was being
strained 10 attain the goal. So far az
the condition of Congressman Bremncr
was concerned. ho had heard Doctor
Kelly say that there was not enough
radiuni to obtain the results wished for
This, Mr.. DUPONT Thought was an oh.
iect lesson.
Favor Government Control.
"lhc question oi government tohuo
of radium- bearing mineral land, resolves
itself into the question of whether poll
tics can be kept out of the matter
said Mr.. DUPONT. 81 for one. wouh

WAR REVENUE PLANS

In case Of war with Mexico, the
first step of the government to raise
the necessary revenue will be to i'm
pose stamp tax on checks and legal
documents. The next step discussed
by Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
and Commissioner of Internal Reve-
nue. Osborne will be to tax sweet
wine and rectified brandies, and
probably beer. 1t is estimated that
these taxes would net the treasury
about 100000 year.
1t this amount should fail to prove
sufficient tax will be imposed on
cigarettes, cigars and tobacco. BY all
means the tax on tobacco should
come first. True, it is the poor man s
luxury, but it should be remembered
that at the time of the Spanish
American war, when a tax was put
on tobacco, the manufacturers were
allowed to pass it along to their
customers by making the packages
smaller and reducing the size of the
ten-cent plugs by about one-fifth. 1t
will be remembered, also, that after
the war was over and the special tax
was taken off, the size ofthe pack
ages and plugs was not restored to
normal proportions, and the manu-
facturers have collected the war tax
for their own use and behoof ever
since. Now let them turn this gold
en- stream into the treasury before
anyone else is called upon to pay
special taxes.
In case money is needed right
away, the treasury department can
dispose of the $240,569$$$ worth
of Panama canal bonds that remain
in the treasury, the existing law CIV
ing the secretary the necessary power
and it is said that this will probably
be done in order to give congress
time to discuss war taxes.

OPPRESSION OF BASE LABORERs

sioner in an official report submitted
today by Mr.. Barrett to Governor
Major.
Barrett left st. Louis a month ago
discussed as a tramp and found work
in various construction camps.
In his report Barrett said that in
one railroad construction camp the
foreman threatened to beat him be-
cause he asked for cup of coffee be-
fore going to work at daybreak with
out food.
Mr.. Barrett made an investigation
of Greek coffee houses in st. Louis
He questioned 20 girls, employed in
these places, and he reported that
some of the girls told him they got
work in coffee houses only on a prom
ise to enter a life of immortality. The
girls serve the coffee in the houses,
he reported, and take their places at
the table with the men as the latter
drink their beverages. Intoxicants
also are served in some of these cof-
fee houses, he reported.
Many men out of work agree to
pay employment agencies as high as
so per cent of their wages, Barrett
and in some construction
camps THE foremen are in league
with the employment agencies to dis
charge men after they have worked a
short time and thus make way for
new men. The fees" then are shar-
ed by the employment agencies and
the foreman.
The men employed in the construc-
tion camps, he reported, are charged
26 cents a month for hospital fees,
but are discharged if they get sick.
The food in the camp is unhealthy,
the bunk cars are filthy, the cooks
are often diseased and there is grave
danger of epidemic in the camp, Mr..
Barrett says:
eff this immense army of these
down-and-outs could get together and
stay in one place long enough to be-
come voters they could swing a ma
tional election and elect any ticket
they put up There is deep, terrible
undercurrent of rebellion, unrest and
revolt among them because of the
amazing amount of exploitation and
oppression they are subjected to
simply because they are tramps."
