ARMY BILL IS PASSED;
GOES TO PRESIDENT

The army appropriation bill. carry
ing a total of s247, 597. 900. now is ready
for President Wilson's signature. The
House today adopted the conference
report on the measure, previously
adopted by the Senate, without roll
call.
Little debate marked the adoption of
the report. After the reading OF the
conferees statement, Mr.. Hay answer
ed questions for about an hour, but
lively wrangling. which had been ex-
pected. did not develop.
Representative Cooper of Wisconsin
sought to open the controversy over
the articles of war in which Mr.. Hay
and the War Department have been
involved by asking why the articles
were placed in an appropriation meas
ure. Mr.. Hay replied that it was i'm
perative that the articles be revised
now and that the War Department had
requested their revision. That ended
discussion of this feature.
The bill as finally agreed upon totals
about s46.000.000 less than the Senate
measure, which carried proposed ap-
preparations of S313,000.000.

Chairman Lees Statement,

Chairman Lee. in rejecting the brother
hoods demands and proposing mediation,
made statement. in part. as follows:
After such consideration it is our
Judgment that the proposals which the
men have supported by their vote in
volve such extraordinary changes in
operating methods and such redical re-
volve such extraordinary changes in op-
Grating methods and such radical revision
in establishing bases of compensation as
to make ii apparent that there is little
probability of our being able to hai-
monize our differences of opinion unless
this result can be brought about through
the federal board of mediation and con-
ciliation, which was created to assist
the parties in just such circumstances
as now confront US.
THE national conference committee
of the railways is as sincerely anxious
as your committee can be to reach
some amicable adjustment of the mat
ters involved in the present contro-
versy, but we are convinced that in the
end we shall have to invoke the
friendly offices of the federal board OF
mediation.
1T is not open to question that what
ever we can do by direct negotiations
we can also do just as quickly and as
effectively through mediation, and ex-
perience has demonstrated that a COM
mon ground could be reached through
the mediators in cases where the par
ties have been wholly unable to reach
such common grounds through direct
negotiations"

When told the trainmen had COM
planned that arbitration, even when in

the benefits of the decision. Judge
Chambers said:
That is one of the troubles of arbi-
tration, but it is not the fault of the
arbitrators or of the award The real
trouble is that when men get a decision
they think is in their favor the rail-
road officials and their counsel figure
out some way to economize or in other
ways minimize the effect of the award
The railroads have the advantage be-
cause they are in possession of the

PROTEST PLANNED
AGAINST TAXLAW
Opposition to Hasty Enact
ment of Measure to Assess
Intangible Property Grows.

Opposition to the hasty enactment
of the intangible property tax law
without giving various financial, COM
mercial and trade organizations and
civic societies an opportunity to pre-
sent views on the question grows more
general with each succeeding day
Today the Chamber of Commerce, the
Board of Trade, Retail Merchants AS
sociation, the Washington Stock Ex-
change and the Federated Citizens AS
sociation took initial steps to present
their protests to the conference com-
mittee of the Senate and House, urging
with the Bankers Association, that d
hearing be held on the proposed legls-
lation. and the proposed tax be not as
sessed against a non-represented peo-
nile without giving them the oppor-
tunity to present their views in the
matter.
Saws Tax Is Not Needed.
1t is understood that the committee
of the Bankers Association will urge
that the proposed tax is not needed;
that it affects very largely the incomes
of many who now pay income tax on
the returns from the securities II is
proposed to assess. and that whlle II Is
not making an organized effort TO de-
feat needed legislation, 1t deems /.
nothing more than consistent that II
be given the opportunity TO explain its
position, not only for itself, but for
clients is We'll
on the stock exchange this afternoon
Eugene Z, Thompson of Crane, Paris q
Co. addressed the members, urging the
appointment of committee to repre-
sent the exchange in protest on the
proposed legislation.
MIR. Thompson said the legislation, if
enacted would not affect local stocks,
but would be a tax of four-tenths of
per cent on the market value of bonds,
thereby cutting the income OF investors
81 wear on all bonds having market
value of 81, 900 and more where bonds
are selling at a premium-that many
of the owners of bonds in this city and
elsewhere now pay income taxes on the
same securities
He also stated that in many states
bond issues were free from taxation to
make them more attractive to invest
ors-also that frequently corporations
were given the privilege, if they de-
sired. of paying imposed taxes on their
securities. but that the proposed leSls-
latien here did not permit of such
privilege.
Committee to Formulate Protest.
Chairman Allan E. Walker then ap-
pointed Eugene E. Thompson. Clarence
F. Norment and John L. Edwards
committee 20 formulate protest
against the intangible tax law to for
ward to the conference committee of
the Senate and House on the District
measure.
The Board of Trade will hold a ses-
sion this afternoon at 4:30 o'clock to
consider the proposed legislation.
Later the Retail Merchants will take it
up.
