Seek to Unionize Negroes

The international Iron Moulders'
Union has started a movement to elm
mate trouble between white and negro
labor in its trade. In a call issued yes
terday urging all negroes to organize,
the union speaks Of the reluctance
which Booker T. Washington always
had toward introducing labor organiza-
tions among the members Of his race.
"Since Mr.. Washington's DEATH" it
says, "no leading representative Of the
negro race has said or done anything
which has come to our attention which
would in any way encourage the negro
in industry to join the trade union Of
his craft. 1t was for this reason that
the moulders' delegation at the last
convention of the American Federation
of Labor metal trades department in
troduced the measure which instructed
the officers of the department to corre-
spond with recognized leaders of the
negro race and convey to them the de-
sire of the American trade union move
ment TO bring about trade union organ
ization among negroes"

After waving immunity, former
Acting Captain Alonzo Cooper. Of the

treme heat slowed up the operations
OF that body 20 such an extent that he

testify to-day after signing a waiver
Of immunity.

complete it's work to-day, and in thpt
event several indictments are pre-
dieted. Among these, II is said, will
be one prominent police Official sta

Sues to Compel Father
To Adopt Children
Wife No. 2 Complainant Against
Erlaneer. Now With No.

Mrs. Harriet E. Erlanger has brought
suit in the Supreme Court to compel
Arthur G. Erlsnger to adopt his own
children. Erlanger is a wealthy young
man, who, it is alleged, has had two
wives and is now living with the first.
The plaintiff. who is mother OF the
children, is his second wife.

He is a son of the late Nathan Err
langer, a wholesale dealer in yelvets.

residue, amounting to about si,5OO,OOO'
Erlanger married his first wife IN
1903, and they had two children. In
1908 Mrs. Erlanger obtained sepsra-
ton. Although not legally free to do
so, Erlanger, it is charged, IN 19O9
married again, in Savannah. In 1915
Erlanger went back to live with his
first wife. He says his second wife
knew of his first wife when she mar
RED him, which she denies.
Upon his separation from his second
wife Erlanger signed an agreement to
pay her $50 a week and to adopt their
two sons, that they might share in his

the adoption promise. Erlanger says
that his first wife will not permit him
to adopt the children.

From [ he rrthunn Bureanl

tho Italian language is used in the
war schools, in public Institutes, and
that even sailors from Istris who serve
in the Austrian navy are pronouncing

Small Incomes
To Escape New
Tax Increases
$3.50, 900, 900 to Come From
Corporations and the
Rich, Senate Proposes

Washington. July 30.-Revision OF
the war tax bill to increase its total
from 81 $40, 100000 to about s2,OOO,ooO'-
900 was undertaken to-day by the Sen
ate Finance Committee, while House
leaders informally discussed measures
to still further provide against the IN
creased estimates of this years war
expenditures.
Final action was postponed by the
Senate committee, but Chairman Sim
mons said tonight that the present
consensus of committee opinion lndi-
Gates the following changes will be
made in the tax measure:
imposition of most of the tax in
cresses on corporation and individuals
having incomes of $4,000 and more.
Material modification Of the so-called
Jones amendment, which in its present
form levies Is per cent upon corpora
tons undistributed surplus.
No increase of the normal income
tax rate on individuals. but an in
crease, probably to per cent, Of that
on corporations.
Additional taxes on intoxicating bev::
crages, including whiskey, beer and
| wines.
Increase of some of the consumption
taxes imposed in the bill on sugar. tea.
coffee and cocoa, and possibly addi-
| tion of a few new consumption taxes.
! Addition of a few new small taxes.
The exact divisions of the new tax
burden have not been decided, but in
creased corporation income taxes prob
sblv will raise about $4,000. 900 Of the
| $500, ,O00, 900 to be added to the DILL
/ The normal rate probably will be MADE
! 6 per cent The tax is 2 per cent under
| the prcgcat law and an increase TO .
per cent was provided in the bill as II
| passed the House. -,
! Committee sentiment has crystalltzed
| decidedly against further increasing
! individual income taxes except on In
| comes Of $4,000 and above. The addi-
| tional increase in rates of intoxicating
! beverages probably will not be large
As now drawn the bill would double
the present rate on whiskey and great
! ly increase that on beer.
Should consumption taxes be In
creased Il is expected that the pro-
posed rate Of " cent pound on sugar
will be raised. Among new revenue
sources the committee Is considering is
new tax on petroleum products, in
cluding gasolene.
Whether the Jones amendment tax
ing corporate undivided surplus Is per
| cent is to be reduced In its levy or en-
| tirely eliminated was not decided. The
understanding TO amend the provision,
! Senator Simmons said, is based upon
the intention to levy increased corpora
| tion income taxes.
The committee decided to-day to
change the basis Of war profits taxation
| so as to include under the exemption
clause certain concerns in existence be-
! fore the war.

Labor Opens Fight
To Drive Out Germans
Every Workingmen's Organi-
zation in Country Cir
cularized

The work of combating the efforts
of pro-German elements TO use the
labor movement for their purposes was
begun by the newly formed Alliance
For Labor and Democracy which has
its headquarters in the Stewart Build
ing, 2SO Broadway. The plans call for
the circularization of every labor or
ganization in the country and the hold
ing of mass meetings wherever the
Workman's Council, a subsidiary Of the
Peoples Council, begins its propa-
ganda.
"As this movement to stamp out
anti-Americanism in the labor move
ment began in the Central Federated
Union in this city," said member of
the executive council Of the alliance
Yesterday, "the first move will be
through similar bodies in the various
cities of the country. We will work
through the national and international
bodies, the state federations and the
local unions.
1--WE have plenty of speakers, and
wherever there seems any need Of it
mass meetings will be held until
those who are seeking to make labor
cloak for work in the interest of
Germany will have to get some other
cover. If these people are not loyal
to the state they will not be loyal
to labor. That is certain.
"Many Socialists of standing are lin
ing up with US in this matter. They
remain Socialists, but they realize that
there is something higher than social
ISM"
The Peoples Council yesterday sent
out letter calling attention to Ernest
Bohm's denial of statements attributed
to him to the effect that German spies
are working on the East side. 1t asks
that this denial be remembered when
Bohm or his associates next speak Of

Hungarians Protest
Persecution in Fiume
ChargeAustrians Have Ruined
Seaport's Commerce and
Oppressed Citizens
rFrom The Trbune Bureaul

Washington, July 3O.-Hungarians
are disconnected over the treatment Of
the population Of Fiume by Austria.
according to the radical Budapest
paper "Vilag,' excerps of whose COM
ments on the matter have been received
here. This paper laments the condi-
ton Of Fiume, with her commerce para
lyzed, the city economically ruined,
and the Austrian government perse-
cutting the citizens under the pretext
Of espionage.
The paper states that its charges
are warranted by the words of Count
Batthzany, a leading figure of Fiume,
and asserts that "a little charity would
save the city from the ferocity of the
governor" "The rumor," it says, that
Wueklfalussy Zoltsn may again be
made governor of Fiume is considered
as one Of the most distressing posi-
bilities. Under his regime Fiume was
terrorized. His policy was the policy
Of Torquemada."
