REVENUE RECEIPTS
PASS BILLION MARK
Ordinary Payments Into Fed
eral Treasury Reach This
Sum for First Time in
Nations History.

Washington, June l9-For the first
time in American history ordinary re-
ceipts of the treasury have passed
the billion dollar mark in a fiscal
year.
The great sum has been anticipated,
however, in the plan for raising war
revenues and it does not alter the ad-
ministration plans for taxation, as all
the available money from all sources
will be needed
Up to today the total was $l,015,-
38l,8l7 as compared with 5000, ,400,-
953 year ago today, an increase Of
approximately $355,000,000.
The bulk of the huge increase is
due to increased income taxes and
earlier payments. A total of 1884,
966,278 has been collected thus far
this fiscal year.
The next largest item is from other
internal revenue totalling approxi-
mately $425,000,0O0, an increase of
about $60,0OO,000 over last year.
Customs receipts show a total thus
far Of $2l7,573,408, an increase of ap-
proximately $l4,200000.
During the last twenty-four hours
approximately SAL 10000 was received
at the treasury, the largest day of the
year thus far.

Socialist Gets From U. S. to
Stockholm Without Passport

Stockholm, June l9-(Via London.)
One of the three men who have
come to Stockholm from the United
States to participate in the Interna.
tional Socialist peace conference sue
ceeded by his own admission in leav-
ing the United States and ultimately
reaching Sweden, after his passport
had been taken up by the American
State department and he had failed in
an effort to have it returned.
This man is Boris Reinstein of Buff
falo, who says he is empowered to
represent the socialist labor party at
the conference, but refused to say
whether he is an American citizen.
The others who accompanied him
are DR.. Max Goddard of the New
York Forward and D. Davidovitch,
a Russian subject, who comes as a
representative of the socialist and ter
ritorialist labor Jewish party OF Amer
ica, OF whose Russian sister branch
he is member.
All three men declared they were
opponents of the separate peace eff
forts. DR.. Goddard has asserted that
he was authorized to inform the
Dutch-Scandinavian committee that
the American socialist party was not
in favor of separate peace.
Mr.. Davidovitch said his sole pur-
pose in coming to Stockholm was to
lay before the conference the program
of the Jews represented by him and
his Russian party comrades. He said
he was member of the Mensheviki
rather than the Bolsheyiki group of
the Russian socialists.

Man Who Has Charge Of Roads
Responsible for British Success

Correspondence OF The Associated Press)
Behind the British Lines in France,
June 5.-A considerable share in the
success and rapidity with which the
British armies were able this spring
to follow up the Gefnans as they fell
back from the Somme and Arras bat
tiehelds is officially attributed to the
building by the British OF innumera-
BILE military roads which have been
completed on the heels OF the German
retreat.
The officer principally responsible
for maintaining this branch of COM
munications, under the direction OF
Sir Eric Geddes, deputy director gen.
eral of munitions supply, is Brigadier
General H. P. Maybury, whose offieia
title is manager and chief engineer Of

Government of Japan Plans
Immense Arsenal in Korea

Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
Toxic, June Sin the supplement
tary budget estimate to be introduced
in the coming special session of the
diet is an item of 100000 yen, or
81, 500, 900, as expenditure for the es-
tablishment of an army arsenal in
Korea. This is a new undertaking
necessitated by the creation of two
army divisions in Korea, which were
authorized in 1915.
In case of emergency in the future,
the Korean divisions and the garri-
sons in Manchuria will be enabled to
have quick supply of guns and
munitions and other ordnance with
out relying upon supplies from Japan.
The plan was long contemplated
by the army authorities and the les
sons furnished by the European war
have necessitated its speedy execu-
tion. Credits will be asked for the
construction of fortresses in Korea,

Entry Of United States Into
War is Cause Of Confusion

Correspondence OF The, Associated Press }
Bristol, England, June s.--Nothins
since the beginning of war so stirred
Bristol and surrounding country as
the decision Of the government, that
owing to the entry of the United
States into the war it was no longer
necessary to proceed with the erec-
ton OF the large explosives factory
under construction at Henbury, near
here. Nearly $500,000 had been spent
and thousands OF workmen had been
engaged for weeks in constructing
the factory which was to have been
one of the largest in England.
The order to abandon work came
like bolt out OF the blue. Owing to
the great extent of the factory, the
order resulted in much confusion.
Some of the contractors who had Off
cial intimation OF the governments
decision leased work, while others,
not having received instru; tions, pro-
ceeded blindly with their work. The
result was that while others were
busy with the work OF construction,
another grounp was as industriously
demolishing those partly built. This
choatic condition proceeded for a
week,

wish OF the governor that the hearing
be postponed until after the disposal
OF the court order.

ment and one against.
After the session had adjourned.
Attorney Bigelow halted Chairman
Cowell at the door and told him that
he had no authority to adjourn the
hearing as he or the other members
had not heard directly from Governor
Neville.
Chairman Cowell called the board
together again and the hearing con-
tinued.
Did Not Vote.
Attorney Bigelow tien raised the
question that George Norman, deputy
labor commissioner and secretary Of
the board, had not been permitted to
vote and that the adjournment on
that ground was also out of order.
Chairman Cowell gave in a little,
following heated discussion by At
torney Bigelow in which the sections
of the law dealing with the powers
and duties of the board thoroughly
had been threshed over.
Upon tie vote, Mr.. Coweil ad-
iourned the hearing until 10 o'clock
Wednesday morning, at which time
Governor Neville probably will ad-
dress the board.
Attorney Brogan, representing the
employers, contended that the in
junction hearing set by Judge Leslie
June II would be a much broader and
wider investigation than that of the
board, and as a result the board
should adjourn until court action.
The opposite viewpoint was taken
by Attorney Bigelow, representing
the employees. He said:
"A court action would not stop the
controversy as to wages and the like.
We want thorough investigation
into the whole matte- so that we can
get down to the bottom of the trou-
BILE and let the people know who is
to blame. The light shed at the hear
ing will help the court to make a
fuller investigation"
Cowell for Further Probe.
Robert Cowell, chairman of the
mediation board, held that in his
opinion the board should not adjourn
pending court action, but should be-
gin at once with the investigation.
A. ]. Sawyer, former United States
district attorney and one of the men,
bers of the mediation board, held that

Supporting the petition are numerous
affidavits telling OF acts of intimida-
ton by which workers have been
urged to join unions and prevented
from going about their usual employ
ment under threats of violence.
The petition of the attorney gen.
eral sets out the history of formation
of business organizations mot only
of business concerns to protect them
selves, but labor unions and organ
izations, that they might contend
more successfully for what they be-
lieved to be right"
The rule on which strike is based
is given with the penalty of loss OF
membership upon the union man who
fails to obey the strike order. 1t is
alleged that federation of nonunion
workers is not allowed, aad though
a nonunion worker be most highly
qualified and conducts himself in
gentlemanly and orderly manner, un-
ion men will not work by his side and
will strike rather than do so.

Questions by Gore.
Chairman Gore OF the agricultural
committee and Senator Reed Of Mis-
souri,, leading the opposition to the
bill, took a leading part in question
ing Mr.. Hoover.
"The resort to these extraordinary
powers is only because OF the war;"
asked Senator Gore.
"To provide not only more food for
the allies, but for ourselves" Mr..
Hoover replied. Even if we had not
gotten into the war we would have
been up against this tremendous de-
mand from Europe and probably
driven to some legislation to protect
our own people"
Mr.. Hoover expr, ssly disclaimed
authorship, personal interest or re-
sponsibility for the bills provisions
extending to fuels, declaring he was
only interested in food

Senator Reed referred to a section,
which he contended would permit the
government to take from cribs and
bins grain stored there in excess of
the amount actually needed by the
farmer and asked Mr.. Hoover's
opinion regarding the enforcement.
"As far as ] am concerned, | would
not attempt to execute it as far as
the present situation appears" replied
Mr. Hoover.
Mr.. Hoover also said the food ad-
lad no desire of regulat-
ing consumption of food as is being
done abroad, saying that would be left
to the voluntary will of the people.
Senator Gore asked Mr.. Hoover
ii he would deny to the farmer the
right to judge the amount of crops
he should grow.
If the government guarantees a
minimum price," Mr.. Hoover replied,
I'VE might not get the beneficial re-
suit for the farmer unless we also
have the power to limit imports"
Mr.. Hoover said possibly" the bill
should be amended to give farmers
the right to determine their own
I'VE don't propose to go to the
extent of fixing consumers rations,"
Mr.. Hoover added, except as to
hotels, restaurants, etc, regarding
the amount of bread portions to be
served and the like. England did a
foolish thing in trying to fix maxi
mum prices, failure wherever tried.
DO you contend that under the
bill you can say to Senator Reed, for
that he shall eat soup bone
or steak on certain days?" asked
Senator Kenyon.
II don't think we have any such
right nor should we have it, Mr..
Hoover replied emphatically. "But
we should have the right to suggest
the use OF a soup bone day and see
if we can reach any agreement volun-
tarily."
Senator Reed insisted that legis-
lation is not needed to effect such
voluntary arrangements, but Mr..
Hoover said a law should authorize

Prof. Tamai was a capable aviator
and had made several previous flights
near Toxic, with passengers, on one
occasion having successfully looped
the loop. But when he assembled with
the photographer, connecting wires
broke and the aeroplane crashed to

nEED WILL REMAIN
TO WATCH STRIKE
Willis Reed Says 1t Will Amount
to Treason for Defendants
to Violate Restrain
ing Order.

Attorney General Reed, who or
behalf OF the state of Nebraska inter
vened to put stop to the Omaha
strike, will remain here to see thai
the court order is carried out He will
personally represent the state at the
hearing, set for June 27, before Judge
Leslie of district court.
The states action in the strike
situation is the first of its kind in the
history OF tn. United States, accord
ing to the attorney general. He said
he could recall no similar action
where state has intervened to halt
both parties OF strike.
"If the condition OF affairs prior to
the issuance OF the restraining order
could exist under the law, then it
must be admitted that civil govern
ment is failure" said the attorney
general.
Man Has Right to Work.
NO laboring man should be denied
the right to earn his bread by the
sweat of his brow. Any government
that tolerates it, or public officials
who wink at or hesitate TO enforce
the law, are entitled to no place in
our human society.
THE law is adequate and intend
TO use every means within the law to
restore, and if possible, better con-
dtions between labor and capital and
the public than those which existed
prior TO the present strike or lock-
out.
Violation May Be Treason.
SHOULD either side attempt to vio-
late the restraining order issued by
Judge Leslie they may find to their
sorrow that the federal and state gov
ernments will at once proceed against
such individuals for treason against
the state and the federal government,
because, in effect, it would be lending
aid and comfort to our enemies and
will not be tolerated.
"Since the order was issued and
many of the defendants served. labor
ing men and members Of unions have
expressed their approval and salts
faction and a desire to cooperate
with the state. ! expect the assist
,Jance OF all honest laboring men, as
well as other good citizens of Omaha,
10 carrying out the intent and pur-
pose of the restraining order. Should
any citizen know OF any violations
of the order they will be doing
patriotic duty if they will jot down
the name and description Of the indi-
vidual, when, where and who, il any
one is present, what, if anything was
said, done or attempted, and inform
me OF the same, that the state may
bring the guilty culprit to court to
be dealt with according to law"
Gets Service Early.
Extra deputies we're put on by
Sheriff Clark to get service on the
defendants before 9 o'clock this morn
ing. Each OF the orders effected has
been served.
The attorney general said service
upon any order or organization and
those who belong to them is, as a
matter OF law, just as complete as
though served upon each member
of the order personally. Hav-
ing served an individual of the or
der as representative of the class
OF such order, no one will be per-
mitted to plead ignorance.
