As the situation now stands Cadorna's s

MINERS THREATEN TO DESERT
Declare They Will Enter Other Indus
tries Unless Pay Is Increased

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept 6.--Unless imme-
date steps are taken to increase wages,
miners will go to other industries. The
result will be a more serious coal famine
than hitherto predicted. This was the argu-
ment used by leaders of the miners today
in their conference with representative OPP
orators of the central competitive district.
John P White, of the Miners Intcrna-
tional Union, declared there must be some
incentive offered the miners to retain them
at their work. As soon as an agreement
is reached for higher pay in the central
field like increases will be asked in an
thracte and other bituminous districts.
Definite results are not expected at this
meeting, which probably will adjourn to
Washington.

Speaker Champ Clark. taking the floor In

tax wealth by demanding that great war
profits be heavily taxed. The temper OF
the House toward the coming fight was
shown In tremendous applause OF Clarks
words. His declaration that $50 per cent
Of war profits Is not too much to take
aroused such a demonstration that Clark

Clark's action and his reception. on tho
heels Of the Senate's refusal to fix more
than 81 per cent tax on war profits, was
taken as a strong Indication that such a tax
on profits is not yet safe. II also empha-
sizes the wide split between the House and
Senate on the revenue bill and augurs long
drawn debate before the revenue bill Is a

he feared higher income taxes would dampen

Few Senators realize how heavily we
taxed stockholders by our action yesterday
on war profits" said McCumber. "A man
who ought TO get $4,000 in dividends from

this year will get only si0 1000 for the sup
port of his family after he has paid all
Federal, State and municipal taxes. There
