VERY PALPABLE DECEPTION

Washington. - Newspapers connected
with the Associated Press on Septem-
Der s. carried story asserting that the
Railroad Brotherhoods were in active
sympathy with that part of the report of
the Industrial Relations Commission,
signed by Commissioners Commons,
Weinstock, Ballard Ashton, and Har-
rirnan in which those commissioners
recommended the appointment OF per
manent industrial commission intended
to suppant the present Mediation and
Cancellation Bureau in the United States
Department of Labor, as well as the
Mediation Board of which Martin A.
Knapp is chairman. The article stated
that bill would be introduced into the
next Congress. early in the session en-
bodying this idea and that the officers
and members of the Railroad Brother
hoods would give it their active sup
port. Mr. John +. McNamee, Editor
of the Locomotive Firemen and Engine
mems Magazine. says in reply to a re-
quest for a veriiication of this recon-
mendation: 81 know of no action that
has been taken by anvone representing
our brotherhood or the other railroad
organizations regarding recommended
tons contained in the report of Com
mssoners Commons. Ballard, Wein-
stock. Ashton and Hartman advocat-
ing the perpetuation of a permanent In
dustrial Relations Commission or some
thing of that kind Should learn any
thing of such step being taken by the
railroad organizations I will advise YOU
The story was evidently an insidious
effort on the part of persons who would,
if thev could, devitalize the SPLENDID SER
vices being rendered in behalf of indus
trial peace by the Mediation and Con.
ciliation Bureau in the Department OF
Labor, as we'll as the service which has
| been rendered in behalf of peaceful
negotiations in railroad disputes bv the
Mediation Board which was established
early in the last Congress to take the
place of the old Erdman Arbitration
Act. 1t is pleasing to note that the
officers and members of the railroad or
ganzations are not party to the pro-
posed personal interest scheme OF nro-.
fessional sociolopists and so-called
'frcnds of Labor"

POOR CHILDREN SACRIFICED

New Iork.-Dr. Louis l. Dublin, a
member of the advisory council of the
New York board of health, in the last
issue of the boards bulletin gives some
startling facts regarding the mortality OF
the children of the poor. He says The
lives of the poor children are blasted
before they are born, due to the fact that
the mothers must help earn miserable
living. 1t is evident that the infants of
these mothers show a much higher death
rate than do those of mothers engaged in
housework only. That these conditions
play part in mortality. both during in
fancy and later, is plainly evident. The
highest death rates are found in the
wards of cities where poverty is most
common; the converse also holds good.
This has been demonstrated in Johns
town, Pa, where the low family income
and high infant mortality are clearly
demonstrated. 1t was also further con-
hrmed in an investigation at Fall River
where a group of ~ fathers was in
terviewed, employed in the textile in
dustry, earning an average of $l0.22 per
week. The wives of % per cent of
these fathers were engaged in work out
side their homes. DR.. Dublin continued
his survey in that city and discovered
that the mortality among s33 infants,
born there, showed a death rate of POP,
a rate more than twice as high as that
recorded of a number of the large cities.
The cause of the slaughter of the in
fants is plainly evident.

PARLIAMENT WILL
 GIVE ATTENTION
 ID WAR TAXATION
Chancellor Reginald Mo- Kenna Seeks Means of Raising Daily Expense
 of $20,0OO,OO0

London, September 13.-Of the various important measures to be taken up at the session of Parliament which begins tomorrow. particular attention is being paid to the matter of new taxation tc help in paying the cost of the war. Res.. nald McKenna, chancellor of the ex- cheouer. has spent many weeks in search ing out possible means of adding to the ordinary revenues and meeting the enor- nous expenses of the war which now amount to nearly soo.o0oooo daily.
 Whatever the chancellor may have in mind he has kept his own secret as closely as is habitual with the drafters or British budgets. Gossip already has doubled the income tax and reduced the exemption figures; increased the duty on tea ts shilling pound, and added greatly to the import taxes on petrol, wines. spirits. sugar and tobacco, espe- cialy cigars.
 Apart from these. a bold line of action undoubtedly will be taken on taxation of war profits. not only on munitions, but on industries like shipping. which are amassing enormous sums. The beef trust and wholesale distributors of foodstufrs also are mentioned as likely to be called upon for large contributions to the ex- chequer. Imposing of taxes upon iin- ported luxuries. including automobiles Is being canvassed as a means either of rais- ing revenues, or of assisting national economy and fighting the exchange mar ket by decreasing imports.
 Other taxes which have been suggested gre upon railroad tickets, theatres and motion pictures, automobiles and car riages and employees as domestic servants. Increased charges for letters, telegrams and telephone messages. all of which are under government control. is a further possibility. The greatet part of $500 000, ,000 or so which the government hopes to add to Its annual income. however. will come according to the well informed, from the income tax. The minimum of exemption presumably will be lowered and plans will be made for assessing the wages of as many workmen and small business men as never prevailing on a fiat minimum which Is deemed necessary now to sup- port existence.

REVENTL0W HEARS THAT BAN 0N COTTON IS NOT NOW IN FORCE
Washington Unable to Un- derstand What Could Have Given Rise to Report That
 Staple Is Not C0ntraband

Berlin, September 13.-(Via London, 10 D. m.)-Count Won Reventlow. in the Tages Zeitung, discusses at length today report that President Wilson has won victory in demanding that American cotton must be permitted to go to Ger man ports, but he treats the whole mat ter pessimistically and doubtfully. The article declares the question must be held in abeyance until the bargain is closed and that a victory by President Wilson cannot be admitted until his desire to win Is esta blished.
 Should the entente powers carry through their efforts to make cotton con- traband," says Count von Reventlow. neutral states will in the first instance. suffer In their interest we are sorry.
 "So far as Germany Is concerned its fighting strength and ability to hold out will not be affected by the cotton busi- ness whether anything comes out of the reported bargain or not"
 The Morgen Post points out that Ger many Is to pay one mark per pound an amount which it says is twice that which England offers for cotton, deliv- cred at Bremen. The newspaper lays stress on the financial advantage which will accrue to the United States.
 The other newspapers say that there is no official confirmation of the report yet available and withhold comment.
 Washington. September 13-Officials here could not understand tonight what had given rise to a report in Germany that the allies have granted demands of the United States that American cotton be permitted to go to German ports.
 Since Great Britain. France and Italy declared cotton contraband of war note to Great Britain on the general subject of interference with neutral com merce has been held for redrafting and it Is understood that it will contain a vigorous protest against placing the American staple on the contraband list There has been no indication, however. that the allies would reconsider their action or even modify their order in council against commerce with Germany ether than to permit the shipment of German and Austrian goods contracted for prior to the effective date of the order.
 It is understood that Germany has de- termined to address a note to the United States protesting against acquiescence by neutras in the proclaiming of cotton as contraband.

TO WORK UP
 PEACE SENTIMENT

Rome, September 12.-(via Paris. September 1s. 5:o5 a. m.)--In discuss ing the recent visit of Cardinal Gib- bons to President Wilson, the newspa- per Roma, which often is considered to be inspired by the Vatican, says there Is no idea at present of offering mediation to the belligerents. but that the pope's object is to influence public opinion in favor of peace so that me- diation may have every chance of suc- cess when the circumstances seem fa- vorable. The pontiff Is said to realize that if he were to propose interven- tion now there is no possibility that his good offices would be accepted by the quadruple entente.
