New York. Dec IA throng of more
than 10000 persons stormed the United
states internal revenue offices in this
city today endeavoring to buy the new
war tax stamps that h&-e to be AFFIXED
TO many documents and proprietary
articles Thousands who had to wait
in line became so demOnstrative that
extra police were called to keep them
quiet
Collector Anderson estimated that
2O.O 600 persons viii have received the
stamps before night.
Because of the inability Of his clerical
forces to handle the throng, collector
Anderson issued a statement announc-
ing a stay in the war tax penalties
until such time as the office is able
to handle applicants promptly"
The fact that the passengers on two
steamers, sailing today for Europe,
had engaged passage before the law
went into effect prevented the gov
eminent from collecting $3.50 from
them under the new tax. The vessels
carried $3.50 passengers, who had paid
more than $50 each for their tickets,
and consequently would have been sub
iect to a war tax of So each.

Der of the little band of cyclists who
crossed the German lines and blew up
a bridge near Mons, which cut the Ger

UNIONS OF TRADE
AND FARMERS NOT
TRADE RESTRAINT
Effect OF Amendment Incorporated in Anti
Trust Bill==Means the End of
l4=Year Fight

Washington, June Trade unions
and farmers unions would be specifi-
eally legalized in their existence and
declared not to be combinations in
restraint of trade by a paragraph
which the House today Incorporated
In the Clayton bill to supplement the
antitrust laws. Although it is de-
signed only to clarity existing law, or
ganized labor leaders say the final
passage of this amendment will mark
the elimination of a fight waged by
them for IA years-since the passage
of the Sherman antitrust law-for ex-
emption from prosecution under the
laws against monopolies and restraints
of trade. On a vote to perfect the labor
provision, the House was recorded 207
for an none against.
AS adopted, the provision declares:
'orhat nothing in the antitrust law
shall be construed to forbid the ex-
istance or operations" of labor unions
or farmers cooperative associations
or to forbid or restrain members Of
such organizations from carrying out
the legitimate objects thereof
Supplemental to this provision the
House adopted an amendment pro-
posed by Rep. Webb, in charge of the
bill and agreed on by organized labor
representatives and the administration
which would provide that such organ
izations and their members shall not
be "held or construed to be Illegal
combinations or conspiracies in re-
straint of trade under the antitrust
laws
Amendments proposed by Represen-
tatives Thomas of Kentucky and Mac
Donald of Michigan to make the pro-
posed exemption more definite We're
voted down, Democratic leaders declar-
ing that a more specific exemption
would run counter to the constitution
al inhibition against class legislation.
A clause to legalize such conferences
and greements among railroads as are
now subject to the control of the
Interstate Commerce Commission also
was passed by the House. The sec
ton confirms and protects the juris-
