 The note also indicates that the Am erican government intends no post Dellum reprisals on the German peo-' pies but on the contrary, desires in the interest of world peace that the Germans be allowed to share in all international economic opportunities if they are willing to accept equality and not seek domination.

A published report to the effect that the Alaska Lighterage & Commercial Company has offered the Federal Lab or Union, through the medium of a communication addressed to that body, a special rate of $22 per ton on coal sold to members in good stand ing, occasioned 0 vast deal of dis cussion in the city this morning, the public being apparently greatly in- terestod in the question of how the company could furnish the union mem- bers with coal at reduction of sev- eral dollars less than the general pub lie is charged for the same commodity.
 On being shown the published re- port, Mir. Kellogg, manager of the company, stated that it is really a simple matter. The members of the Federal Labor Union are almost with out exception employees of the com pany, and in view of the present scar city of work and the inability of the company to give the men steadier employment, together with the great increase in the cost of living, has in- duced the officials to make an effort to help things along by giving the men a reduction in their fuel expenses. The cut, Mir. Kellogg says, is really in the nature of wage payment, and is in perfect accord with the previous policy of the company to give it's em- ployes coal at less than the market plhce. As uusual thing the com pany employees have been furnished coal for personal use at cost price but in the present instance, the price of $22 offered the longshoremen Is real ly below what the coal costs the com pany. entailing, MT.

 WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Undaunt-
 Ii his fight for an increase of the war tax levies on war profits by the defeat of the amendments heretofore submitted with that object in view, senator Lafollette yesterday introduced no less than eight additional amend ments to the war tax bill, all of which provide for levies on war profits which will greatly increase all provisions of that character already written into the revenue measure.
 Under the terms of the several La toilette amendments levies on war pro- fits ranging from seventy six to forty eight per cent will be imposed in the event of their adoption. However, there are few aside from their sponsor who affect to believe that they will receive more than scant consideration from the senate body, which fs plain ly determined to prevent heavy tax ation in this direction.
