given anywhere and is paid in return
as good wages as are received any
where.
Even if the strike were called off,
the spirit that called it on would
slumber and not be dead. A victory
of the republican party, meaning res
toration of the tariff, would perforce
precipitate strike, to secure the
benefits explicitly promised Labor,
from the tariff, by Chas. E. Hughes,
himself, and the conflict that is never
settled until settled right would again
drag it's tedious length over the tragic
stage of necessary events.
If tariff is enacted precipitating
another strike next year, which last
can only happen providing this strike
( fails this year, then again Everett
will be caught in the swirl of indus
trial conflict almost as fatal in its
consequence as war itself. All the
forces that can make for the avoid
ance or the settlement of these re
current and costly disputes we think
the business of Everett has right to
expect The trade agreement is the
best assurance a committee can pos
| sibly have of the normal in Labor af
fairs. 1t is as easy to make an agree
ment about the cost of labor as OF
rent. The agreement is as purposefu1
and beneficial and its use would have
spared Everett much that is regret
table in it's recent commercial history

NEW YORK STREET
CAR MEN SCORE VIC
TORY FOR UNIONISM

New York.--New York's street car
men have achieved wonderful
triumph by unionizing practically
every surface trolley line in the
greater city. With the exception of
the marlborough Rapid Transit Com
panys workers on the subway and
elevated roads, where the men are
being enrolled now, the local of the
Amalgamated Association of Street
and Electric Railway Employees Of
America controls the entire systems.
The newly formed union, organized
in the face of predictions that it was
utterly impossible" to build it up in
this city, and after years of effort,
has just passed successfully through
crucial crisis. After the recent
strike that tied up surface lines from
the Bronx down to the center of the
city, the companies were forced to
sign agreements virtually recognizing
the union, and agreeing to submit the
wage question and grievances of the
men to Cancellation through a COM
mittee appointed by the men.
Then, the union charges, the COM
pany began system of reprisals
against the strike leaders and those
most active in the union by discharg-
ing these workers. The union called
70 tn
ment, threatening to tie up not only
the surface car lines again, but also
the subway and elevated lines.
1t wasn't long before the company,
through it's president, Theodore P.
Shonts, sent word that it would recede
from it's course first adopted of not
the men and treat with them.
That meant that the traction mag
mates were brought to terms and
forced to live up to the agreement
that they had signed.
The recent strike of the men was
one of the finest examples of soil
darity that has ever been seen in this
city. To man the workers went out
on the various lines, as one after an
other they were struck. In upper
Manhattan and the Bronx car service
was entirely paralyzed. 1t was when
the strike spread to the Great White
Way and threatened to extend way
down to the Battery, the outermost
point of the island, that the company
first began to realize how strong the
mems organization was. Especially
did the directors dread tie-up on the
subway and elevated roads.
Even then. however they refused to
give in until the mayor and members
of the Public Service Commission
took hand in the matter, and came
out on the side of the strikers for the
right of the men to organize at will.
Only after futile endeavors to
swing the opinion of the public by
large advertisements in the big
papers; after the employment of gun
men and thugs hired to break the
strike at the cost of battered heads
had been stopped by the police; after
the tremendous resources of the com
panies proved unavailing to check the
strike, did the companies at last
capitulate
What is more, the companies not
only signed agreements, but the
Brooklyn and Queens lines raised the
wages of the men and agreed to recog-
nize the grievance committees of the
employees On the PETERBOROUGH every
man was given raise after the
union had shown how powerful it
was.

PROPOSE CHANGES
IN STATE TAX LAWS
REVISION OF REVENUE PRoDUc.
ING SCHEDULE ADVOCATED BY
STATE COMMISSION.
WOULD AFFECT UTILITIES
Suggest Taxing Banks Under the In
come Tax Law-Report Favors
4 Abolition of Personal Prop
erty Assessment.


Madison-A report of the tax COM
mission, concsurred in by all members,
proposes several changes in the state
tax laws. A repeal OF the personal
property tax, which would result in
loss of over S2.O0O,0O0 revenue, it is
believed, could be compensated by a
Reconsideration of the personal prop
erty and minor changes in the income
tax law.
One of the changes recommended is
that local public utilities be transfer
red to the real estate class for taxa
ton. 1t is also suggested that banks
be taxed under the income tax law as
soon as the commission can define a
proper method of assessing stocks.
"The aggregate assessment OF all
these classes of property for the year
1915 was $37O,463,2 S3, and the tax
thereon computed at the average local
rate was $5,S60.728," continues the re-
port. "As the income tax amounts to
$533,0S5, if all these classes of prop
erty were exempted as herein recon-
mended, the maximum loss of revenue
would be only $525,643. Considering
the state as a whole, therefore, the
change would not materially interfere
with the amount of revenue derived"

is HELD FOR WlFE'S DEATH
DeIavan Man Is Taken by Chief OF Po
lice Several Weeks After
Death of Woman.

Elkhorn-Louis Smith of Deleyan, Is
being held here in the county jail
without bail, facing a charge of first
degree murder, following the finding
of his wife's body hanging from a
lamp hook in the kitchen.
Smith was arrested while at work
on warrant obtained by Chief of Pc
lice Davis of Delavan. Smith main
tains his innocence.
He says he was awakened early on
the morning of Nov. rs by the crying
of his infant child. He couldn't find
his wife, he said, and started to look
through the house, when he was start
led to find her body hanging from a
lamp hook.
A coroner's jury at the time of the
tragedy did not recommend that any
one be held in connection with the
case. It's verdict was that Mrs. Smith
had come to her death by strangula-
ton. Sentiment in Delavan is said to
have run high against Smith, however,
and it is believed that relatives of the
dead woman have been instrumental
in securing the husbands arrest.

MUCH IN LITTLE

Concrete is being used almost exclu-
sively for the gate structure Of irri-
CATION canals in this country, displae-
ing wood for the purpose, despite the
greater cost of the concrete.
An Orange (Mass.) man received a
check which had been made out by
him and sent to a Chicago firm about
nine years ago, from friend in Gard
ner, who found it beside the railroad
tracks near Otter river. The check
was in good condition.
One lighted gas jet consumes as
much oxygen as five adult persons.
Flowers are more fragrant when the
sun is not shining on them, according
to a French scientist, because the oils
that produce the perfume are forced
out by water pressure in the plant
cells. and this is diminished by sun
light.
Canada is devising plans for placing
