San Juan, Porto Rico, Jan 24.-Se-
rious general strikes among the agri-
cultural laborers of the island which
were threatened at the opening Of the
sugar cutting season now seem to
have been averted, although many
local strikes are now in progress.
Indications at this time are that the
laborers win not go out in such force
as they did a year ago, when more
than. 10000 were on strike, much
property was destroyed and several
laborers and policemen were killed in
riots.
Virtually all Of the sugar mills on
the island are working at full force.
The strikers have not been successful
in preventing other laborers from

GATHER HERE
The Southern Classification
Committee Is In Session
At the San Carlos
HUNDRED
ARE ATTENDING
Over Six Hundred Subjects
To be Handled During
the Meeting

Several hundred shippers and rail-
road men gathered IN Pensacola yes
terday morning for the session Of the
Southern CLASSIFICATION Committee, an
organization representing every rail
road south Of the Potomac and east Of
the Mississippi rivers. There are
four such organizations in the coun-
try and they endeavor to work to-
gether, so as 20 have a uniform clas-
sification throughout the country.
Chairman w. R. Powe called the
meeting to order and during the day
over one hundred subjects relating to
classification Of freight were handled.
Chief of these were paints, varnishes,
putty, candy, confestioneries, etc.
The committee has a docket and
takes up each subject in regular
order, when the complaining shipper
or his representative appears and pre-
sents his case. These sessions con-
tinue for about week and after the
shippers have departed the committee
goes into executive session, considers
all the matters presented to IL and
reaches conclusions. The executive
sessions continue for two weeks or
more. Throughout all sessions a rep
resentative Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission sits with the COM
mittee and takes notes Of all decis-
ions.
While these sessions are in progress
the COMMITTEES on uniform clossifca-
ton Is also at work and when the
sessions are concluded recommended
tions are made to the other classifi-
cation committee as to the changes
that are made and these are later
acted upon by the committees 70
whom referred.
The Southern Classification ia pri-
marily a classification governing in
terstate matters, but has undergone
material changes and is now up-t0-
date in every respect and reflects
modern conditions in all particulars.
Many states of the south have their
own classifcations, but despite this
they have adopted the southern CLASH
fication, because Il is more modern.
South Carolina, North Carolina, Ala
bama, Louisiana and Tennessee are
among these states. Florida has not
yet taken up this classification, but
has one of it's own, which railroad
men say is somewhat out Of date, i'm
that il was adopted years ago, and tho
committee now meeting IN Pensacola
will take up this matter with the
Florida commission at an early date
in the hope that IL win be adopted,
thus giving the shippers advantage
Of interstate commerce rulings, as
we'll as putting into the classification

toned.

Supreme Court of United
States Holds Law Is
Constitutional
OBJECTIONS URGED
ALL SWEPT ASIDE
Congress Will Now Increase
the Tax On All
Large Incomes
u AssocIATRp PREss.

washington, Jan. 24.-The supreme
court today upheld the constitution
atty Of the income tax law and swept
aside all the many objections urged
to its constitutionality in whole or
in part. Chief Justice White an
nounced the decision in the case Of
Frank r. Brushaber, a stockholder of
the Union Pacific Railroad Company.
The decision was unanimous and in
the opinion of many congressional
leaders paved the way for increasing
the tax rate on great fortunes to help
pay for national defense. Proposals
are pending in congress to tax in
comes of more than million as high
as fifty per cent.
Representative Hull, of Tennessee,
author of the income tax law, said the
decision absolutely unfettered the in
come tax as a source of revenue" and
that he believed that without unjust
charges the income tax can be made
to yield one hundred and eighty-five
to one hundred and ninety-ive mil
lion annually, instead of eighty-five
to ninety million as at present. Hull
is preparing amendments to the law
providing to tax incomes of less than
three thousand and make graded in
creases in our taxes on incomes ex-
ceeding twenty thousand yearly.
MISTAKEN THEORY.
"Comprehensively surveying all
the contentious" said Chief Justice
White, in disposing of the complaints
as to lack of uniformity and the lack
of "due process" inherent in the pro-
gressive or additional tax on those
receiving incomes above $4,000, 1--WE
cannot escape the conclusion that
they all rest upon the mistaken the
DRY that although there be differences
between the subjects taxed, to differ
emily tax them transcends the limit
of taxation and amounts to a want
of due process, and that where a tax
levied is believed by one who resists
its enforcement to be wanting in wis
dom and to operate injustice from
that fact in the nature of things there
arises a want of due process of law
and a resulting authority in the ju-
dietary to exceed its powers and cor
rect what is assumed TO be mistaken
or unwise exertions by the legisla-
tive authority of its lawful powers,
even although there be no semblance
of warrant in the constitution for so
doing"
Turning to the validity of the pro
gressive or additional tax, Chief JUS
tice White considered the argument
such that a tax transcend the con-
ception of all taxation and was a
mere arbitrary abuse of power.
He said this position overlooked
the fact that such tax was imposed
in probably all the earlier income
taxes imposed by congress and up
held by the court.
''In this situation it is, Of course,
superfuous to say" he added, ''that
arguments as TO the expediency of
levying such taxes or of the economic
mistake or wrong involved in their
imposition are beyond judicial cog
nizance."

Worlds Finest Tapestry Work.

Joseph T. Widener of PHILADELPHIA
has bought for about 100000 the ia
nous Mazarin tapestry, from the col,
lection formed by the late !. Pier
pont Morgan, which his son recently
sold to an art dealer in New York.
The Mazarin tapestry is one of the
greatest works of its kind in the
world, and by some authorities it is re-
garded as quite without a peer.
1t was formerly owned by Cardinal
Mazarin, and hence it has always been
identified by his name. 1t is one of
those splendid picture cloths which is
associated with the golden age of tap
estry. 1t was woven about the year
1900.
1t has narrow jeweled border
characteristic of its period In plan it
is a triptyeh, divided by vertical Goth
ic columns. The subject is "The Tri-
umph of Christ and of the New Dis
pensation.''
Christ sits upon the throne in the
upper half of the middle wing, his
right hand raised in benediction, ana
his left hand holding open a richly
illuminated book of the Gospels. On
one side stands the Angel of Mercy,
with a long lily branch; and on the
other side the Angel of Justice with a
sword. Between Christ and the world
below intervenes most exquisite land
scape.
On the earth below are seen two
groups of fgures-the church group at
his left, headed by the Pope; the state
group at the right, headed by the
Emperor. Both groups are kneeling
in alteration. On the capitals of the
two Gothic columns that separate the
middle wing from the two side wings
stand two igures-one blindfolded.
