BASEBALL IS
MENACED AGAIN
Ban Johnson Surprised at
Report of Another War
on Organized Ball.

Philadelphia, Aug. 4.-The peaceful
life of organized baseball once more
is threatened with the strong hand
of the law. The stockholders of the
Baltimore club of the defunct Fed
eral league will institute a new suit
for 100000 damages it was learned
today.
Ban Johnson, president of the
American league. was in this city
yesterday. He admitted that he had
heard Of the contemplated action by
satisfaction with organized b~aseballs
case.
IT came east" said Mr. Johnson,
ito confer with the National league
on details Of settlement with Federal
league interests, which had hung
fire ever since the outlaw circuit ar
ranged peace terms with us. We
had agreed. as is we'll known. to pay
the Ward interests S400, 900 in twenty
annual installments for title to
Washington Park, Brooklyn, and
also to indemnify Harry F. Sinclair
for his investment at Harrison, N. j.
"This money has not been paid be-
cause the Federal league sponsors of
peace, who agree to surrender with
put legal entanglements Of any kind,
were not able to suppress the dis
gruntled Baltimore stockholders.
"Our lawyers" Mr.. Johnson con
tinued, have advised is not to set
tie at the present time, In view Of the
new threat from Baltimore. Just
how the Baltimore people figure their
case has been improved within the
last month I cannot conceive. You
know. they brought suit for 100000
damages in a Philadelphia court last
month. but voluntarily withdrew the
case after 1t had been to trial for sew
eral days.
Whether or not this second suit is
a bluff remains to be seen. But
meanwhile, we wish to see that the
other side makes good its obligations
before we fulfill ours. At the present
time the debt stands on the side Of
the Federal league peacemakers."

MAY WORK
HARDSHIP ON TEAMS

Boston, Mass, Aug. 4.-The draft
may work considerable hardship
against some OF. the teams which are
still in the pennant races in both of
the major leagues, one Of them being
the Boston Red Sox, now at the head
of the American circuit, which may
lose Manager Jack Barry. Barry has
drawn a low number which will mean
that he will be one of the first to be
called.
Whether the Red sox can capture
the pennant without his aid at the
helm and in the field Is a matter of
speculation. The hardship on the
Sox might not be so great If some of
the other teams, especially the Chi
cago Americans lose some Of their
players. The Chicago White Sox may
have to struggle through the last part
of h season without the aid of Buck
Weaver and Ray Schalk, both of
whom can Ill be spared,

Senate Whips the War
Tax Bill Into Final
Form For Presentation

Continued from Page A.
$100.000,00 to the owners of auto
mobiles and to necessities like sugar,
coffee, tea and cocoa.
The finance committee reduced tax
es on cigarettes, chewing and smok-
Ing tobacco and snuff about $16,000,-
600, he pointed out, and put that
amount on coffee, tea and cocoa.
Undue Discrimination.
Inc senate plan to tax war excess
profits on the basis Of the increase
shown in any corporations profits
over h average for a pre-war pc
Rod of three years-1911, 1912 and
191S-is declared by Mr.. Kitchin as
making an undue discrimination In
favor of the fortunate persons or cor
porattons who were highly prosperous
during the pre-war period. On that
basis, he said. a corporation Of $10,-
during the pre-war years and the
same now would pay no excess profits
tax, while a farmer worth $4,000,
making $1,000 during pre-war years
and now making $4,000 will pay over
$1,000 taxes.
Many Pre-War Excess Profits.
There Ire hundreds of corpora
lions whose annual profits each year
reach into the hundreds Of thousands
and millions" said Mr.. Kitchin, that
Will pay not q cent of excess profits
tax under the finance committees
amendments because being highly
prosperous during the pre-war years
they are making the same profits now
and therefore have no excess. Under
the finance committee amendments as
to excess profits and incomes, Unit
ed States steel corporation with a bill
lion and a half capital, making over
z $1,000, 900 annual profits, will pay
no a cent of tax either on incomes or
worth less than 5000 300 making a
profit of $4,000, will pay $2,071."
Smaller Man Taxed.
Mr.. .Kitchin cited senate commit
tee amendments which he said would
impose excess profits taxes on farm
ers, merchants. butchers and black
smiths, but would exempt lawyers,
doctors and others including employees
and agents. receiving fixed amounts
for their services. The classification
employees and agents." he, said.
would include officers of corporations
like Gary of the United States Steel
corporation; Schwab of the Bethlehem
Steel corporation; Morgan of j. P.
Morgan and company, and Dupont of
the Powder company"
The excess profits tax is entirely I'M
workable, Mr.. Kitchin charges. be-
cause it required "In ninety-nine cases
out of a hundred a physical valuation
of all the assets of each taxable in
dividual, partnership or corporation"
not only in the year when the tax is
collected, but for each of the three
years pre-war period. Such a stupen-
dous task, it is declared, would take
months to perform and as mapped
out by the senate amendments would
lead to endless confusion.
Many big business concerns which
for years have been at the feet Of con-
gress praying for %favoritism at last
have had their prayer granted by the
finance committee, the house leader
declared.

MITCHELL WILL
REBUILD CUBS
Trading of AL Demaree for
Pete Kilduff is First of
Big Deals.

Chicago, Aug. Manager Mitchell
has been in baseball too long to de-
ceive himself into thinking the pres
ent collection of Cub players is eff
cent enough to win a pennant in the
National league. He knows they can
not and as a consequence he has
started to build a club that will have
better than an even chance for the
pennant next season.
Obtains Pete Kiduff.
Mitchell virtually took HIS first step
toward reconstructing his team, par
ticularly the infield, when he secured
from the New York Giants Infelder
Klduff in a trade for Pitcher AL De-
maree.
Kilduff is one Of the best young
prospects the league has had this year
and the Cub leader considers himself
fortunate in getting him from Nc
Graw. II
McGraw Needed Hurler,
McGraw would not have let Kilduff
get away from him if the Giants did
not require more pitching talent with
which to make the winning Of the
championship a cinch this year. The
Giants leader will make any sort of a
deal If he thinks 1t will help him take
the flag. That is why he made the
exchange with Chicago, although it is
known he hated to part with Kilduff.

COAL MINERS GET RAISE.
Substitute Contract Adds 20 Per Cent
to Wages.

Substitute Contract Adds 20 Per Cent
to Wages.
Committees of the anthracite mine
operators and their employees have
signed new wage agreement by
which $4,000 laborers in eastern Penn
sylyania get increases aggregating
from $30,000.000 to $35,00O,OOO a year.
The increases average 20 per cent
The new agreement, which took eff
feet May l and runs till April /, 1915
takes the place of one made last year,
with several years still to run. The
present contract expires simultaneous
ly with the agreement made three
weeks ago with over 100000 employees
at the bituminous coal mines of Hi.
nois and Indiana averaging 20 per
cent wage increase.
X. G. Adams, spokesman for both
the men and the operators, said that
the anthracite and bituminous men
could reopen or continue the contract
next spring, as conditions warranted.
A 10 per cent advance on gross earn
ings goes to the miners themselves.
This equals an II per cent boost An
advance of 30 cents day goes to
breaker boys and aged men, slate pick
ers, water boys, jig runners and spiral
workers. The monthly and pump men
get SO cents more day An increase
of 36 cents day is granted to all the
remaining classes.
John White, president of the United
Mine Workers, said:
Il feel confident that the agreement
will alleviate the skyroeketing cost of
food and clothing products sufficiently
to tide the mine workers of the anthfa-
cite field over an unprecedented crisis.
"The signing Of the anthracite agree
ment following the bituminous settle,
ment insures industrial peace in the
basic industry of the nation, all of
which has been accomplished without
threat, suspension of work, strikes or
Interference from any outside source
other than the recognized councils for
wage adjustments provided for in the
joint wage agreement. What better
recommendations can the opponents Of
trade unionism seek to convert them
to the sane policy of collective bargai1i-
ing than are typified by the agreements
reached by the anthracite and bitumi-
nous coal industries during our present
crisis?

Need of Trade Unions,

Wage earners should bear In mind
that unions are necessary even in war
times. Some employing interests are
always ready to fatten from the needs
of the country as well as from labor,
and the unions of labor must be on the
alert to protect the interests of labor
while war RACES and after peace has
been declared. We cannot afford to al
low our union activities to be suspend
ed in the slightest degree. On the con-
trary, we should the more readily give
our support to our craft unions and do
everything in our power toward the
consolidation and the effectiveness of
organized labor.-Shoe Workers Jour-
