This will be the greatest demon
stration ever held in South Jersey
and citizens will promptly subscribe
the amount necessary for the ex-
penses. l,a&s

CITY TAX
BUDGET 1915
Ordinance Provides For
City Expense.
TOTAL IS $154,255.62
OF This Amount the Taxpayers
Must Contribute $40, ,O31 .l2-
Must Raise S24 ,224.5O
For Schools.

City Council has passed upon two
readings the appropriation ordinance
fixing the budget for 1915. 1t is quite
likely the Council will pass the ordi-
nance finally at the next meeting held
this month and it will be approved
by the Mayor.
The appropriation ordinance was
prepared by the Board of Estimates
of the city after making an exhaustive
examination in the various depart
ments. The ordinance is much more
specific than any appropriations prev
iously passed.
The total amount appropriated by
the proposed ordinance is $154,255.62
OF this amount $94,255.62 is to be
raised by taxation by assessment up
on the ratables fixed by the Assessors
the tax rate being made by the Coun-
ty Tax Board
The balance of the money appro.
priated is to be derived from and il
anticipation of the unappropriatei
| balances, the state railroad tax, the
franchise tax, fines, licenses, park re
ceipts, dog tax, water rents, miscel
laneous collections and tax duplicate!
of the years 1918 and 1914.
A year ago the tax payers furnished
for the appropriations of 1914, sos,
| S37.27 or $5S165 more than is to b,
raised by the tax duplicates Of thi
| year. Inasmuch as the total assess
ments have been increased somewha
over last year, and with the count,
tax rate lower and the bank tax be
ing paid into the city treasury, ther
should be a fall of several points il
the rate.
The appropriation ordinance pro
vides the following budget:

Payements

In my last report to you made the
assertion that the appropriation for
Street Pavements had all been spent
and there has been nothing done to
the pavements the last two weeks. I
would suggest to you that if there is
any way of getting some more money
that We relay the pavement on Com
merce street from Laurel to the
bridge, which is in bad condition, and
if left until next year we will have to
pave it with new blocks, but if you
relay the present blocks, as we have
the east side of Laurel street (Which
seems to be wearing very welD, I
think we can repaye the whole square
for about $S50.O0. Of course, this es-
innate is for relaying the old blocks
while they last. There would be
some part of the street that would
have to be finished out with new
blocks, or 1 would suggest to you that
we could finish the new part near the
bridge with cement the same as South
Pearl Street, that would be accord
ing to how far the old blocks would
go. If the old blocks are not too
badly worn, there would not be much
space left to pave with the new, or
we can repave the square with 8 inch
of stone and "Tarvia" or "Amisite'',
leaving the present blocks down for
foundation for about $1500.00, or if
the Council thinks that the method
we are using of turning the blocks up
on the edge and filing in the spaces
with cement grout is all right, we can
do that for about half the price of
"Amisite" or "Tarvia," but the "Ami-
site" or "Tarvia" makes much
smoother pavement than we can pos
sibly make with the old blocks turned
on edge and concreted.

COLORADO MINES SITUATION Is
COMING TO SHOWDOWN

Washington, June 15.-A military
receivership to compulsory arbitra-
ton faces the RoekefeIlers and allied
interests in the Colorado coal fields.
Aroused by the belligerent brief of
the mine operators submitted to the
House mines committee, members
declared Pres. Wilson will be forced
to one of the above extremes to settle
the civil war now dormant under or
ders from federal troops.
Congress, Colorado state officials
and the United Mine Workers were
bitterly attacked in the brief. Law
less agitation throughout the country
Iamented. Congress was charged
with showing extreme favoritism to
Mother" Jones, a strike leader. The
operators showed no signs of agree
ing to mediation Everything in the
brief was reiteration of the position
of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., before the
House committee that the Rockefel-
lers would lose every cent invested
in Colorado before they would yield
to the union demands.

WOMEN MAY REFLECT PRESENT
HEAD OF ORGANIZATION

Now that they have endorsed equal
suffrage, the biggest task confront
ing the delegates to the convention
of the General Federation of Wo-
mems Clubs will be the selection of
officers.
1t is very probable that Mrs. Percy
V. Pennybacker, president, will be
reelected. Miss Georgia Bacon may
be the slate nominee for first vice
president, as Mrs. Rudolph Blanken-
burg has decided not to run again.
Mrs. Francis D. Everett is the strong
est candidate to succeed Mrs. George
Bass as Illinois representative on the
board of directors.

CHANNEL TUNNEL
Scheme Up AGAIN
Declared Now that It Would
Be of Priceless Assistance
in Some Wars.

Paris, July 4.-"By tube TO France
an English pamphlet just out, attract
ed much attention here today. 1t
deals with the channel tunnel scheme,
which is now being considered afresh
in the light of new conditions by the
English committee of imperial de-
tense.
It is pointed out in regard to the
objections which have been raised by
military and naval people, now, hap
PLY, diminishing in number, that the
tunnel could never be used for an in
vasion, as it could be almost instant
aneously rendered useless by water
or explosives. 1t might, on the other
hand, be of priceless assistance IN
some wars, as it would be a perpet-
ual open door for food and other sup
plies. We are also reminded that the
tunnel would be great boon to
thousands of travellers who at present
face the hazards of the Channel cross
ing with dread. Important considera-
tons, such as the traffic in perisha-
BILE and other goods, which would gain
considerably by direct forwarding
without shipment, are dealt with, and
a symposium OF views of prominent
people on the advantages of the tun-
mel is reproduced

| demned the I. W. W., should have
penned this terrible preamble, de-
claring war on the social structure
reared by the centuries.
Among the other leaders in the Chi
cago convention were William D. Hay
wood, who shortly afterwards stood
I trial and was acquitted of the murder
! of Governor Steuenbcrg vi Idaho
Charles o. Sherman, William E.
/ Trautman, editor of the Brauer lei
tung; Ernest Bohn, who had been an
organizer of the Socialist Labor par
ty: Ernest Mills, al one time secre-
tary of the Western Federation of
Miners; and another fIaggerty spell
ing his name differently from the
priest.
1t was in the West that the 7. w.
W. operated mostly the first half
dozen years of its existence. There
were serious disorders at many
points.
The agitation has kept up in the
west but now it is spread or rather
scattered all over the country. Some
of the more famous struggles were
the war for free speech in Spokane,
which resulted in adherents of the |.
W. w. being denied the right of OBJ
! tanning American citizenship in three
states; the San Diego and Los An
geles riots, one incident of which was
, the forcing of a hundred l. W. WIS
to kiss the American flag preliminary
to being run out" OF San Diego. and
the spectacular strikes in Massachu-
sets and New Jersey mill towns.
I. w. w. Tactics.
A successful tactic of the 7. W. "
! leaders is to jump into strike al
/ ready started by the other organiza
lions, show the strikers hoy much
more they can obtain by the I. w. w
plan and convert the strikers. The
I. w. w. did this at McKeesport, Pa.
Lawrence, Mass, Little Falls, n. Y.
and Patterson, N. ].
This is not surprising when one re
members that the T. W. W. originated
| in the bull pens of Colorado. Th
distressing scenes of the 1903 struggl
between the Western Federation o
Miners and the Mine owners associa
ton led directly to the Chicago con
vention of the succeeding winter.
Far astray as some of the leader
may now have led, the original mean
of campaign of the |. w. W. were pa
cifiC, or rather passive. Strike, the
60 back, strike and go back agar
was the PLAN eve will strike wit
our hands in our pockets" said Hay
wood once. The real power of tn
proletariat is so great it was argue
that there was no necessity OF appea
to actual violence.
But leaders cannot always contro
such masses Of ignorance as thos
with which the I. w. w. agitator
deal. They aim to enlighten the dul
brain OF the lowest classes, to teac
them their wrongs and their powe
and when they succeed in this Their
is no difficulty in understanding hoy
waves of indignation and of desir
for revenge are the first impulses i
the hearts of the awakened masses.

VIENNA is HOST
TO RUNAWAY WIFE
Tells Thrilling Story Of Fer escape
from Harem at Damascus.

Vienna, July 4.-The city was much
interested today in the revelation that
it is sheltering the beautiful daugh-
ter of Izet Pasha, Abdul Hamids Sec
rotary. Her story is striking COM
mentary on the conditions of even
high born women in Turkey.
Lemma Abed, only II years old, is
a fugitive from a harem at Damas-
Gus and is living in seciusion here to
escape most repugnant marriage.
The girl says she was welded
against her will to an old man. She
escaped at night with two others OF
the old mans wives. The three drove
to Beirut and boarded an Austrian
steamer, but at Alexandria her two
companions were persuaded to re-
turn. She continued her journey to
Trieste where her father made a
vain appeal to her to rejoin her hus-
band.

Berlin, July 4-The kaiser is proba-

of note in the whole of Europe. And
what is more to the point he stage

WILSON APPEARS
AT PHILADELPHIA

Philadelphia, Pa, July 3.-This city
expects to make it's Fourth of July
celebration this year not only safe
and sane, but the greatest it has held
since 1876, when the hundredth ami
versary of the signing of the Decla-
ration of independence was observed
through the holding Of the centennial
exposition. President Wilson has ac-
cepted an invitation to be the princi-
pal orator, tomorrow if nothing un-
forseen arises, and he will speak from
a platform close to the spot where the
immortal document was signed. The
celebration will be held under the
auspices of the city and it will in
clude a military pageant.

Try Joint. Vacation Week.

Buffalo, N. Y, July 3.-A uniform
vacation has been established by
members of the Wholesale Grocers'
association, which comemnces today
and will end on the 18th. During this
time the solicitors of the association
will not call on customers throughout
the territory covered by this associa-
TONS members. They have been
notified and asked to cooperate in
this movement by anticipating their
wants to cover their requirements
during this period of time, and by not
purchasing from other statesmen who
may call upon them. 1t is believed
this plan will work successfully, and
one or two other association are con-
templating giving their statesmen va
cations under the same conditions.

TOCROSS CONTINENT
FROM SEA TO SEA
Sir Ernest Shackelton Will
Attempt Long M ar C h
Across Blizzard Land.

London, July Ave hope to cross
the Antarctic continent from one sea
to the other and to accomplish the
longest march ever attempted in that
blizzard-land," said Sir Ernest Shack
elton today in discussing his plans
for his coming expedition.
We have about 900 miles to go be-
fore We arrive at the South Pole.
Our object is not to reach it, but to
travel through country unexplored.
The whole of the journey is a
matter of about 5000 miles. Our or
ganization, | think, is well nigh per-
feet We are allowing Is days food
for billiards., but We can go on mucn
hsorter rations if necessary. We can
travel only in the summer. For the
first time antarticic explorers will use
aerial propellers on motor sledges,
which can travel at between Is and
20 miles an hour and carry about 10
men each.
do not think, however, that we are
depending on these alone. We have
100 of the best Canadian dogs.
"Our food has been carefully
thought out For breakfast we will
have 3 ounces of lard, ounces of
sugar and / ounce of dried milk, with
some proteid wheat. For lunch we
will have Brazil nuts and almonds.

and get further Is per cent and
continue this process until labor has
the whole 100 per cent.
The owner of the factory will take
his place at loom or a wheel and
receive the same proportion of the re-
turns as the other workmen.
Writing more than two years ago,
Charles Willis Thompson, who has
made study of labor questions, de-
clared the 1. w. w. "is the most seri-
Gus menace the present system of So
ciety has ever been called upon to
face"
In these two years many things
have tended to bear out his predic-
ton. The I. w. w. strikes come with
increasing frequency. Many leaders
of literary talent and deep powers of
thought, such as Bouck White, Lincoln
Steffens and Upton Sinclair, have been
drawn to the Nv. w. from other
| systems of social reform. A few lead
! ers have made mistakes, and caused
the I. w. W. to appear ridiculous, as
in incidents of the last few months
in New York City, but the general
movement has been broadening, a
! constant steady increase of strength
! At the present moment there is not
. center of population in the United
States where large numbers of cheap
ly paid men and women are employed
which is not watching with real con-
Germ the I. w. w. rumblings of the
proletariat, or already has felt the
effects of the organizations methods.
1t is the very formlessness of the
I. w. w. which makes it so much to
be dreaded. 1t is an intangible thing,
There is no president-the I. w. w,
fears Gompers-nO treasury and no
organization that deserves the name.
1t is merely theory which some have
identified with the syndicalists of
Europe, but which is a broader and
deeper.
Just Ten Years Old.
The I. W. w. celebrated it's tenth
birthday not long ago. In the winter
of 10000 less than two-score men
who had fought in the ranks of the
trade unionists and were dissatisfied
with the results, gathered in Chicago
and here the Rev. Thomas ]. Hager-
ty, Roman Catholic priest, wrote the
famous preamble, a remarkable docu-
ment which may prove to have place
in history equal to the Magma Charta,
the Bill of Rights and the American
Declaration of independence. A re-
markable thing that Catholic priest,
of religious sect which has now con-
