Union Votes to Extend Action
to Many COMPANIES.

The Harbor Boatmen's Union, of which
the striking employees Of the Baltimore 4
Ohio marine department are members,
voted yesterday to extend the strike to
the Lackawanna, Lehigh Valley, Erie

+. O. Morrow, president Of the union said
that the demand on the other companies
would probably be made to-day, and II it
were not granted a strike would be called
by the end of the week.
The Baltimore & Ohio employees are
striking for one day off in every seven
instead of one in every fourteen. A SINH
lar demand will be made upon the other
companies.
The Baltimore e Ohio began TO pay its
striking employees the full wages for the
month of March yesterday A representa-
tive of the company doubted the ability
of the union to make the strike effectual
in the present depressed labor market.

state in thu Union that has two complete
regiments OF six batteries each. being
one-third the strength OF the Regular
Army Field Artillery.
The War Department has 5000 acres OF
land at Tobyhanna, Penn, for practice
work OF the field artillery The reserva-
ton is on the western edge OF the Pocono
Mountains, between Scranton and
Stroudsburg, and the terrain Is ideal for
the work.

TELLS OF SUGAR PRICING
West Virginia Dealer Says Am.
Refinery Backed Plan.

j. P. Maxwell, manager of the Neill
Grocery Company, Of Wheeling, w Va.
was the only witness yesterday at the
hearing of the governments suit to dis
solve the American Sugar Refining Com
pany. Under cross-examination by James
r Knapp counsel for the government,
Maxwell said the sugar company was
father OF the price agreement plan that
has been in force in the wholesale
grocers' association OF West Virginia for
several years.
The plan, he said. provides a schedule
~ arbitrary freight rates in West Nir
-inia on the basis Of which wholesalers
fixed prices. The price schedule. however,
he said. was not obligatory. He said the
American or Franklin sugar companies
1ave had nothing to do with the equality
price plan for ten years.
The American company's only connec-
Jon with the working of the plan at
present is an endeayor TO aid in getting
,nougn TO pay for the cost of peddling
sugar, which the company at present ism
able 10 do" the witness said

ArOnstam's Downfall Due
to Failure to Get PlumS
from Mayor.
TWO MEN OUT OF
5000 GOT PLACES
Ex.Leader's Supporters Are
Backing Robert H. Elder for
the Vacant Post.

Charles S. Aronstam, who succeeded 10
sive organization OF Brooklyn upon the
death OF Timothy L. Woodruff, handed in
his resignation yesterday to Mark Rear
don, ST., the secretary Of the county COM
mittee. Mayor Mitchell is directly respon-
sible for his withdrawal from the leader
ship.
Aronstam's supporters expected that the
Mayor would give them considerable
patronage because OF the help he received
from the party on Election Day. When
the patronage failed 10 materiallze they
began to squabble with Aronstam, and
most of them finally deserted him. 1t is
reported. though the report cannot be
verified, that he Endorsed 5000 Progress
sives for city jobs. There are only 1000
enrolled Progressives in Brooklyn.
Two men got places. Edward w. Allen
former state committeeman from the 18th
Assembly District, was appointed a tax
commissioner. and MIR. Reardon was ap-
pointed Borough Secretary by President
Pounds.
The other 2.99S officeseekers concluded
that Aronstam had not done his best for
them and set about ousting him from the
county leadership In his letter Of resig-
nation he mentioned his troubles as fol-
lows
II believe this and other things (mean-
ing his policies) have tended to create
antagonlsms and differences which nat
urally must interfere with the efficient
conduct of party affairs; all OF which
believe my retirement from the chairman
ship will have the effect of eliminating
and will strongly tend toward bringing
into harmonious action all the members
of the committee"
Aronstam made his last attempt TO
secure the kind consideration Of the
Mayor while the police bills were before
the Legislature. but he was unable to
force through the county or executive
committee an Endorsement OF the bills,
and this so completely revealed his weak
ness that his downfall was generally an
ticipated
The candidates for the vacant chair
manship are Robert II. Elder of the lst
Assembly District; John r. Taylor, of the
18th: Jesse Fuller. jr., Of the 9Th, and Ed
ward c. Dockam, Of the 10th. All but
Mr.. Elder are state committeeman. Mr..
Dockam was defeated by Aronstam in
contest for the place last fall.
The Aronstam forces are backing Mr.
Elder for the place. The opposition is
ready to get together on any one of the
other candidates.

10 COLLECT THE INCOME TAX.
Internal Revenue Collector Ha'
Blanks for Making of Returns
Exemption Is Out.

Dubuque, Iowa, Jan. 14.-f the
estimate OF Collector of Internal
Revenue. Louis Murphy, is borne out
$1,000 IOwanS. not to mention cor
pOratiOns. joint stock companies and
associations, or insurance companies
must report their incomes for the
period March /. to Dec. |, 1913, be-
fore March |, next.
These returns will be made on
blanks sent out of the collectors Of
nee at Dubuque in response to re-
quests from probable taxpayers.
They are piled up now in the col
lector's office. having been received
Saturday and will be put into the
mails as fast as requests for them
are received.
The law makes it mandatory upon
every citiZen-man or woman-hav-
ing an annual income Of $4,000 or
more, to make report. Net in
come in this usage comprehends in
come from whatever source except
compensation TO officers Of a state
or political subdivision of a state, or
income from bonds of the national
or state government, Or a political
subdivision of the latter.
@ Inc cltlZen, III ueleilllillAS lAe
question of whether or not his net
income is $1,000. must not take into
account his specific exemption of 5 L.
900 allowed persons married and liv-
ing together or the deductions from
the gross income allowed in the
law for depreciation, interest paid
ON borrowed money, losses suffered
through the elements and not COM
pensated for by insurance or other
wise. Everybody having a net in
come of $4,000 year is obliged to
make a return without waiting to
be asked to do so by the collector
or Que of his deputies.
Heavy penalties are calculated to
attend false returns. The whole eX-
emption will not be permitted for
1913, but only fve-sixths OF it, for
the ten months from March l to De-
cember 81. The same fact applies
to all other deductions. They are
to be figured by the income taxpayer
at fye-sixths of the amount allowed
in the law. Thus the exemption for
persons married and living together
becomes S3,333.33, and for single
persons or married persons not liv-
Ing together $4,000 for 1913.
