depots To the officers of these columns
instructions will be sent from Wash

will be the duty of each column in
case of war to notify through the press
and other agencies the states that con-
tribute TO their respective collecting
depots. AS boxes are received con-
tanning different articles. they are un-

STOP THEFT!
Income Tax Frauds Rob United
State Treasury of S32O,OOO,OO
by BASIL NJ. MANLY, Former Director
United States Commission on In
dustrial Relations.

THREE HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLARS of your country's revenues
were stolen last year through income
tax frauds and evasions, involving thou
sands of wealthy citizens and thousands
of the most profitable American cor
porations.
The published evidence shows in one
case alone-that of l.. V. Hardness, one
of the Standard Oil magnates-evason
involving in taxes and penalties more
than ONE MILLION DOLLARS. The
evidence shows that the Rockefeller
Foundation is device created by John
d. Rockefeller to escape taxation on
more than FIVE MILLION DOLLARS
Of his annual income.
YOU have direct interest in stopping
these frauds, not only as a matter Of
Justice in the equal enforcement of the
laws, but also because if these millions
are not collected from the tax thieves,
the people-YOU-will have to pay ad-
ditional taxes at the rate of SIXTEEN
DOLLARS FOR EVERY AMERICAN
FAMILY!
All Of these uncontroverted facts,
which were uncovered in an nvestiga-
ton made by me for the Newspaper En-
terprise Association, have been before
Congress for more than two months.
Secretary Of the Treasury McAdoo has
admitted that the tax evasions are enor-
nous and can not be prevented under
existing conditions. But up to the pres
ent time Congress has taken no steps to
end these frauds, because there has been
no concerted demand on the part of the
public
The ONLY way that these enormous
frauds can be stopned is by publishing
the income tax returns, for which the
law now provides complete secrecy.
When the returns are published the tax
thieves can be identified and punished.
The rich tax thieves are fighting to keep
the returns secret, They fear publicity
more than they fear courts or jails.
The income tax is now being amended
by the Senate. In order that it may be
amended right, | ask every reader OF
this paper to do two things:
First: Write letter to one or both
of the U. S. Senators who represent
your State, urging them to support al
amendment of the income tax law, pro.
viding for complete publicity of the in
come tax returns. DO THIS NOW.
Second At the next meeting of YOU
union secure the passage of the follow
ing resolution:
"WHEqEAs, 1t has been proved thai
the L. S. Treasury is being defraudet
of millions of dollars through income
tax frauds and evasions therefore, be i
"ResolUed, That our Senators and
Representatives in Congress be urged
to support an amendment of the income
tax law, providing for complete publicity
of the income tax returns, so that the
tax thieves may be exposed and the
frauds stopped; and be it further
"ReSolved, That the Secretary send
copy of this resolution to each Senator
and to the Representative from this dis
! triCt"

TREATMENT OF MEN
BY Railroads Must BE Humanizcd,
Union Head Says.

New York, July 1s.-tlumanizing in
tluences must be injected by railroads
into their relations with employees if
ruptures and disturbing controversies
are to be avoided, the Federal Board Of
Arbitration, which is hearing wage de-
mands of union telegraphers on the
New York Central and Nickel Plate
Lines, was told today by H. B. Perham,
president of the Order of Railway Tele-
graphers.
Perham and T. NJ. Pierson, vice-pres-
idert of the union summed up the en-
ployes' case and the closing arguments
for the railroads were made by T. w.
Evans and A. S. ingalls,, assistant gen
eral managers of New York Central
Lines.
Railroads heretofore have been too
eageF-for profits" Perham said. Men
will not indefinitely remain quiescent if
is best for all that no test of strength
be necessary and when we can not agree
consent to abide by the judgment of
Others"
Evans said the notion seemed to pre-
vail among employers that 1916 would
be good year in which to make kill
ing" "The demands we have received
this year have been numerous" he said
81 am sorry that the telegraphers now
seem to have fallen into the same path
as others-a strike vote, to be followed
by mediation and then arbitration"
The board then took the case under
advisement and it was announced de
cision probably would be reached with
in 10 days.

NO RIGHT RECOGNIZED
BY INJUNCTION JUDGES

Trinidad, Col.-Editor O'Neill, of the
Trinidad Free Press, lets fly this round
of shrapnel at labor injunctions:
The injunction, as general rule,
recognizes scarcely any legal rights that
are presumed to be guaranteed to Ameri-
can citizenship and ignores the organic
law of State and Nation with as much
insolence as was shown by a master to
his slave in the ante-belum days
Labor in its campaign against injunc-
tions, is demanding no favors from our
judicial department of government, but
labor being conscious of judicial prosti-
tuition to protect privilege, is sounding
protest against the usurped power Of
courts, which usurpation of authority
and power, is utilized to make more for
mdable the intrcnched position of spe-
cial interests and to weaken the citadel
in which human rights are presumed to
be safe from the ruthless hand Of the
destroyer.
"The courts are powerful and will re-
sort to every weapon to retain the au
thority which has been exercised in the
past but the people, whose sovereign will
created the judiciary, are mightier than
the creature of their creation.
".The will of the people is as mighty
as truth and truth crushed to earth will
rise again
Labor is opposed to the injunction,
for labor has long ago discovered that
the injunction is the most favored weap-
on of the employer upon which he de-
pends to defeat the strike and to put the
bovcott in the morgue.
"The campaign launched against the
injunction may be long drawn-out bat
tie but the Drawn and bone of this coun-
try, standing under the flag of union
ism, have no doubts as to the ultimate
results"

GENERAL STRIKE
or Milwaukee Machinists Postponed
at Governors Request.

Milwaukee, Wis, July 16.-Machin-
lists who were to have opened general
strike in Milwaukee tomorrow decided
tonight, at the request of the Governor,
to postpone opening the strike twenty
four hours, to give the State Executive
one more day to bring pressure on the
employers to confer again with the
workers. The strike will involve 5000
machinists.
State authorities are working hard to
get the employers into conference with
the men, but the employers say they will
make no concessions.
The employers are planning, if the
strike becomes extreme, to close their
plants and to make no attempt to oper-
ate. This will mean considerable ad-
dition to the 5000 strikers in the total
of men out of employment.

for an explanation of his visit.
"lt is simply matter of program,

several of the Senators about legisla-

simpler to come here rather than cal
them to the White House"
