$2,500,000,000 on
Business

Washington, Oct 3.-Congress fin
ished it's work on the great war tax
bill late yesterday, when the Senate,
following the example set yesterday
by the House, adopted the conference
report without rollcall. More than
two and a half billion dollars of new
taxes are levied by the measure,
which has been in the making since
last April.
AS soon as the bill is engrossed and
signed to-day by Vice-President Mar
shall and Speaker Clark, it will be
sent to President Wilson, who is eX-
pected to sign it Immediately.
Senate discussion to-day was brief,
participated in by but few mem
bers, all of whom realized futility Of
opposition. Most of the criticism was
upon the second-class postage in
creases. The bill levies more than
S2,500, 900 in taxes.
Senator Penrose in discussing the
measure said:

ADVISES UNIONS
TO GO OUT AFTER
ANTI-8-HOUR MEN

The building trades council
today made public a resolu-
ton adopted at its last meet
Ing which amounts to an
open declaration of war on
the employers anti-8-hOur
day association recently
formed.
The resolution follows:
WHEREAS, at meeting of the
large lumber and shingle manu-
facturers and loggers of the North
west, held in Seattle during the
early part of this week, and called
for the express purpose of formu-
lating ways and means of fighting
the eight-hour day movement and
preventing the unionizing of the
lumber industry of this district,
a sum OF money, said to be in ex-
cess of half million dollars, was
pledged to carry on vigorous
warfare against the labor move
ment, and
WHEREAS, to effectually carry
out the aims and purposes of this
new organization, and to spend
this vast sum of money in a way
that will most thoroly and effec-
lively subdue labor in this state,
an executive committee was named
whose duty it will be to actively
handle the coming campaign OF
disruption and disorganization,
and
WHEREAS, among those named
to act on this committee was
Everett G.. Griggs, of Tacoma, who
is one of the owners of the Taco
ma Tribune and a heavy stock
holder in and president Of the St.
Paul & Tacoma Lumber Co., one
of the most notorious starvation
wage labor-baiting, union-hat-
ing industrial institutions on the
Pacific coast, and
WHEREAS, Evofett G. Griggs
has for years actisely identified
himself with every movement hav-
ing for its purpose the crushing of
organized labor, being especially
active in the Employers associa-
ton, whose membership was we'll
represented in the new anti-union

this and called attention to the
fact that this address was made
IL years and that in all the period
since, the word (TacOma) had
been on it's travels, being adopted
and appropriated freely round the
world, and this without regard to
it's meaning but solely on it's
merit as a word-a resonant and
ieuphonious sound, instantly ap-
pealing to the ear wherever heard
and that therefore that which
could be truthfully said of it then
might be truthfully multiplied
now. Then | asked this Ques-
ltion:
as the mountain that gave
this wOrld-wOrd to the world
the meaning of which word
IL is-The MOuntain-is II,

decree to be the one thing on
earth that shall be denied the
right to wear that name-its
own name-Thc Mountain?

shown you-than that you, living
in the presence of the mountain IT.
self, have felt the beauty of the
word and so adopted it as the
name of your city, as some in far
Australia felt free to do when they
were building city there? Shall
the mountain be forever denied
tn right to wear its own name be-
cause you call your city by It's
name?
Because you did what every
other community on earth is free
to do, is the mountain to be con-
demned to wear forever-"unal-
terable'--the name of a man who
fought the feeble colonies when
they we're struggling for the lib
erty they bequeathed to us; wear
forever, unalterable, a name thrust
upon it by a man distinguished in
history for his hatred of Ameri-
cans and his INSCRIPTIONS mani
| festation of that hatred?
Are we to be required to
change the name OF our city as the
only means by which we may
secure the mountain the right to
wear its own name?
We should not be expected to
go that length in order to satisfy
the strange order of mind that
have discovered to you In the
u. s geographic board at Wash
lington, should veto secure
justice to the mountain?
No! There Is another way.
