RAILWAY
Industrial Labor Conditions Are
to Be Probed Next by the
Federal Probers.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.v-After hearing
the testimony Of three witnesses, who
discussed the influence OF the Rookie
Teller Foundation, the federal COM
mission on industrial relations today
adjourned it's hearings in this city.
Frank P. Walsh, chairman of the COM
mission, announced that the commits
sion wouldyresume its investigation in
Chicago in the early part Of March

industries will be the subject of in
quiry. Later. he said, the commits
sion would investigate labor condi-
tons in the Michigan metal mines, in
the textile industry of Georgia and
Massachusetts and in the steel in
dustry.
Before the commissio nadjourned,
Samuel Untermeyer furnished state
iment requested by the commission in
support of his assertion that j p
Morgan and Company and Kuhn. Loeb
and Company dominate u majority of
the railroads of the company. In. this
statement. he declared that his claim
was founded on "proyable facts" and
was supported by the findings OF the
congressional committee which inves-
tigated the so-calied money trust"

FLAG USE
BY the! Lusitania Mill BE In
quired into by the Wash
ington Administration.
tsr4.soe,A,rp e,r,s,

/, WASHINGTON, d. d., Feb. e.
Although officials had received NO
report Of the use of the American fiag
by the British liner, Lusltania, they
indicated tonight that an inquiry
into the incident might be made.
Until full information is received
comment was reserved but was re-
garded as not unlikely that the oc-
currence would furnish a basis for
Discussing the entire subject of the
use of neutral flags by belligerent
merchantmen on account of the;
charge to that effect made In the Ger
man admiralty statement.
The rules Of inerntional law arc
clear In that each nation has the
right to determine for itself the con
dition under which Its flag may be
be stowed on vessel. Some author
tiles hold that the assumption of a
flag Of a foreign state without Its
authorization is considered q viola,
ton of international law as device
both fraudulent and injurious to the
Lonor OF the state. THE state whose
nag is wrongfnlly used and that Iii
regard to; 1t the use Of the false flag
Is made has the right o demand the
punishment Of the guilty persons. 2
Examination of the statutes Of the
United States reyals that there is no
law prohibiting the misusing OF the
American Tag by foreign vessels.

we're that a big poker game had been

CORPORATION TAX
of one-half Per Cent May Be
Recommended as a State
Revenue Measure.

CHARLESTON, Feb. s-The impress
sion is growing that corporation tax
of one-half per cent on the net income
of corporations doing business in West
Virginia will be the means suggested
by the administration for raising adj
#ditional revenue with which to meet
the present deficit and provide for the
current expense Of the state govern
ment, and it is probable that mes
sage dealing with the fiscal affairs OF
the state will be sent to the 1egislature
at an early date. 1t is not believed
that revenue raising measures will
take the form OF production tax, as
had been generally supposed up UNI

BARROW DENIES SHIFT.
Says Newark Will Not Be Transferred
 to Harrisburg. t..>1

New York, June s.-Ed Barrow, president of the International league, last night made positive denial that arrangements had been completed for the transfer of the Newark franchise to Harrisburg, Pa.
 Many stories have been circulat- ed in the last few days that the New ark club is to go to Harrisburg. Some of the papers even had President Tener of the National league arrang- ing for the shift at Harrisburg last Sunday, when as a matter of fact he did nothing but play golf there all day and spoke not one word of base ball to anybody.
 Nothing positive has been done re- garding the Newark matter. If the shift is to be made, I must decide So and the league must pass upon it. None of these steps have been taken. ....
 However, if the International league does leave Newark. that city will never again get a club in our circuit. We will leave for good. just as Jack Dunns club left Baltimore for Richm ond." %t es Some of the local papers yesterday had positive statements that the Newark club was to open the series with Richmond at Harrisburg or Thursday, and this riled Barrow more than ever.
