Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1917-11-24

A change in working conditions In
the Southern Pacific shops at Sacra-
mento, CAL, said by railroad officials
to be tantamOunt to an increase Of
1914 per cent in wages, was announced
by A. D. Williams, superintendent Of
motive power. The new system, which
became effective November 1 provides
for basic eight-hour day at the same
wages now paid for nine hours work
and time and half for overtime. The
increase became effective at the same
time at all Southern Pacific shops In
California.
Ray F. Rucker, assistant superin-
tendent of the Aluminium Ore company,
-testifying at st. Louis before the con-
gressional riot investigating committee,
said his company had been offered inn
munity from labor troubles if the COM
pany would pay $4,000 to a certain
man, whose name he gave to the COM
mittee. This man, he said, was not a
union man, but was an official Of an
organization formed at the plant after
the strike Of last October.
Notwithstanding the great increase
In male employees in Detroit factor
les, the number of women engaged in
industrial occupations is increasing
three times as fast, according to sta
tistics compiled by the state labor COM
missioner, Richard II. Fletcher, which
include only shops employing more
than 500 laborers. The number Of
women in higher positions has in-
creased proportiOnately, as have fe-
male wages.
Plans were announced for adding
fully 1000 men to the Washington
navy yard list of employees. With
the additions to the yard the city will
have the largest gun factory in the
United States. The proposed improve
n1ents, which will be made within the
next few months, will cost about ST.
100000. Navy officials declare that
the factory as proposed will be the
most complete in the world.
More than 900 trainmen and all 9TH
er employees Of the Capital Traction
company, Washington, were notified
that they would be paid additional
wages while the high cost of living
remains acute. The company's volun-
tary action means an addition to Its
annual pay roll Of between $4,000 and
100000. All corresponding increases
are to be made to all other employees
of the company.
Despite the presidential decree an
nouncing the end Of the railway strike
in Argentina, and the agreement by
the companies to increase wages 10
per cent, the majority Of the strikers
are refusing to resume work. The
strike has lasted nearly month and
its effects have been aggravated by
the simultaneous paralysis Of ocean
and river traffic and the destruction Of
telegraph lines.
The strike Of the workers in the pc
troleum fields at Baku, Russia, which
began in the early part of the month,
has ended. The proprietors Of the oil
properties granted most of the de-
mands of the strikers.
Settlement of the strike of 400 rail-
way clerks on the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, between Cumberland, Md,
and Connelsville, Pa, was announced
by the federal department Of labor.
Low wages and long hours were In.

Atlanta, Ca, Nov. 15.-Belief that
IL is exceedingly probable that an ex-
cess profits tax, now imposed as a
war measure, will continue as q
permanent part Of the American tax
system was expressed by Prof. 7. 8.
Adams. of Yale university, in an ad-
dress he delivered here today before
the National Tax Associations
convention. This taxation OF excess
profits would be. in Professor Adams
opinion an expression Of the
principle that the state and the
community stand as silent partners
In every business enterprise. Profess
Ror Adams is now serving as spec
ial adviser on taxation to the treas
ury department
He strongly advocated the taxing
OF all business units on their net i'm
come. the wisdom Of which course
has DCen for many years the subject
OF considerable difference OF opinion
bv tax authorities and others inter-
estad in seientifc methods of taxa
tI,yn. Professor Adams admitted that
the oppunents OF this method Of
taxation were able to present strong
arguments in support OF their posi-
fion which undoubtedly were worthy
or ftgII consideration. but the fact
remains. as ne said that I'VE shall
never have even an, approximately
consistent scheme Of taxation until
the necessity for separate business
taxation is recognized and imposts
Iafd which are consciously designed
to express the fiscal obligations Of
business as such.
According to Professor Adams. the
justification for this class OF taxes is
that d large part Of the cost OF gov
ernment Is traceable to the activities
