! Mine Workers Union shows he is
fully alive to the purposes Of the law
creating this department, ito foster,
promote and develop the welfare of

and advance their opportunities for
profitable employment"
He says it is not deemed advisable
to publish or in any manner promul-
gate information concerning workmen
. wanted where strike exists or is
/ Threatened, and that the Department
/ of Labor is authorized to promote in
dustrial peace rather than industrial
disturbance. To furnish information
in times of strike, he says, would be
simply sending people from where
there is a surplus of labor to places
where there is already a sufficient
supply of labor,
when a strike exists or is threat
ened it is prima facie Evidence that
the workers who have had experience
in that employment do not look upon
it as being profitable, and that they
are persons qualified to do the work
is evidenced by the fact that they
have been doing it.
The Department of Labor cannot
be made the medium through which
information may be conveyed which
may induce workers to accept en-
plOyment where there is already a
sufficient supply of labor, and where
the termination Of the dispute will
either result in their being dismissed
from the service they have accepted,
or will leave other workers who have
been on strike unemployed
Nor can it be a party to inducing
men to accept employment where their
presence will act as a disturbing
rather than a peacemaking factor"

IS ROBBED
OF MILLIONS
Millions of Dollars Stolen Last
Year Through Income
Tax Frauds

Three hundred million dollars of
your country's revenues were stolen
last year through income tax frauds
and evasions, involving thousands of
wealth citizens and thousands of the
most profitable American corpora
tions.
The published evidence shows in
one case alone-that of l.. V. Hank
ness, one of the Standard Oil mag
nates-evasions involving in taxes
and penalties more than one million
dollars. This 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 stop
ping these frauds, not only as mat
Of the laws, but also because if these
millions are not collected from the tax
! thieves, the people--you-wil have to
pay additional taxes at the rate of
sixteen dollars for every American
family.
All of the uncontroverted facts,
which were uncovered in an investi-
cation made by me for the Newspaper
Enterprise Association, have been be-
fore congress for more than two
months. Secretary McAdoo has ad-
| ,,,it fn1 bot h. 10,
nous and cannot be prevented under
existing conditions. But up to the
present 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 stopped is by publish
ing the income tax returns, for which
the law now provides complete
secrecy. When the returns are pub
lished 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
an amendment of the income tax law,
providing for complete publicity of
the income tax returns. Do this now!
your union, secure the passage of the
following resolution:
Whereas, it has been proved that
the U. S. treasury is being defrauded
of millions of dollars through the in
come tax frauds and evasions, There
fore be it
Resolved, that our senators and
representative in congress be urged
to support an amendment of the in
come 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 sena-
tor and to the representative from
this district" BASIL M. MANLY.

Col. Hartley is gaining strength
just like tuberculosis victims gain
when at the point of dissolution they
die just before reaching the goal
Col Hartley will not even see the
light of promise, let alone a prospect
for securing nomination. He is be-
coming the butt Of merriment among
the papers of his own party and
dubbed as the chorus candidate. Any
man who refuses labor the right to
what it produces has no crown of
honor laid by for him nor will his
name be among those who are called
When the roll is called up yonder."

JOHN DIS UNION
GETS KNOCKOUT
Miners in Colorado Affiliate With
United Mine Workers OF
Their Own Accord

Trinidad, Colo-Miners at SOPHIA
and Piedmont, mining camps near
this city. have organized trade union
with 1863 members and applied to the
limited Mine Workers Union for a
charter.
1t is declared that there was not
district or national officer OF the
United Mine Workers Union present
and the men acted on their own in
itiative. One speaker stated that
miners all over the United States
have received wage increases during
the past four months because they
are organized, and that the miners of
Colorado had received nothing be-
cause they are not organized.
1t was also stated that officers of
the United Mine Workers Union
have not visited them at any time.
1--WE organized ourselves" said one
miner. "Of course, we would like to
have the national officials visit us
after we get our new local started"
Because these workers are en-
ployed by the Colorado Fuel and Iron
Company. their action is most signifi-
cant. 1t is an answer to the claims
of John d. Rockefeller, Jr., and his
press agents that the Rockefeller
theory of conducting union" is &C
ceptable to coal diggers, wins now dis
regard the advice of managers, super
intendents and petty bosses, because
they note the gains made by miners
who rely on trade union methods.
These miners believe the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company will not
cause any trouble" The action of
the state supreme court, in ousting
Jeff Farrs sheriff of Huerfano County,
gunner and operators thug, from Of
flee because of election irregularities,
will be a factor in convincing the coal
companies that their reign of terror
is over and that it is impossible to
deny workers the right to organize.
In its decision the court said that the
public election machinery had been
turned over to the absolute domino
ton and imperial control of the coal
companies and that it was used by
them "as absolutely and privately as
were their mines, to and for their
own private purposes
The court sustained the charge that
Farr had not only denied citizens who
opposed the coal companies the right
to vote, but that he had packed juries
with representatives of the operators.
On this decision Editor O'Neill, of
the Trinidad Free Press, writes:
The journey from darkness to
light has been long and weary, but
the decision of the supreme court
marks the beginning of the end, for
the reinforcement of the political
highWaymen of Huerfano County pur-
pies the horizon with the dawn of
that coming day when law shall be
respected and when the sovereign
power of the people shall no longer
be menaced by corporate might,
backed by the pistol of the thug and
the rifles of a state militia, farmed
out to industrial monarchs, to main
tain and perpetuate the reign of soul
less greed"
