ROCKEFELLER BUNCH
BREAKS IT'S PLEDGE

The United Mine Workers at
Starkville and Sopris, Colorado are
protesting against the anti-union
policy of the Colorado Fuel and
Iron company (Rockefeller's concern),
which has discharged trade union Of
falls, because of their activity in
favor of organized labor and against
the Rockefeller ''union," which has
proven fraud and a snare. In
resolutions forwarded to all unions
in mining camps controlled by the
Rockefeller company, the unionists
declare that this discrimination must
cease or the C. F. & |. will be called
upon to take such action as will put
an end to intimidation of superin-
tendents and their subordinates who
would prevent miners organizing a
bona fide trade union in place of the
Rockefeller union" that is owned,
dominated and financed from the
company's headquarters.
In their resolutions the miners
say:
"We are loath to stop the produc-
tioh of coal at time when it may
interfere with the welfare of our
country, but we have reached the
limit of liberation in this uncalled-
for and unjust discrimination by
this company, through its petty pit
bosses and superintendents
"The company has made public
statements that it has no objection
to their employees belonging to la
Dor union, but these statements have
been proven false and hypocritical
because of the continued discrimina-
ton against men who take an ac-
tive part in the affairs of the United
Mine Workers of America"
Either John. d. Rockefeller, senior
or junior, is none too good to de-
liver a fervent prayer and break a
solemn pledge in the same breath.

PROGRESSIVE NORTH
DAKOTA

North Dakota is the latest state
to take big step in advance in tax
alton. The legislature, with one
house overwhelmingly controlled by
farmers, has passed the bill provid-
ing that in 1918 all land, city lots
public utility stock and bank stock,
shall be assessed at 80 per cent of
it's true value; all tangible personal
property and all improvement on
farm land shall be assessed at 5 per
cent, and all other property at 20
per cent. Cities are empowered to
assess their Improvements in the
same way if they wish to do so.
North Dakota has thus adopted for
statewide purposes the system which
Houston, Texas, has had in effect
for several years. 1t is an ap-
proach to the Single Tax idea. And
the fact that a legislature of farmers
approved it, shows that the tillers
of the soil in the northwest know

see it.-American Economic League

CONGRESS OBEYS NOT
WILL OF THE PEOPLE

In planning their new revenue bill
the members of the House Ways and
Means Committee seem to have fig
ured on disregarding public senti-
ment and sound economic principles
as much as they could, without risk
to their political prospects. 1t has
proposed a number of taxes on in
dustry, which must tend to cut
down production, throw laborers out
of work and help the cost of living
to mount upward little faster.
The taxes on transportation receipts
will be paid by shippers and travel
ers, who are already charged eX-
orbitant rates. The tax on in
surance policies. Fifty per cent
increase in postage rates will be
an enormous burden on business, to
say nothing of its effect on all who
make direct use of the mails. The
lowering of the income tax exemp-
tion will put additional burdens on
the class that bears the greater part
of all existisg indirect taxes and
will bear the lions share of the
proposed new ones.
Taken as whole the bill is
drawn so as to bear far more heavily
on the poor than on the wealthy.
1t will put great burdens on useful
industry, and comparatively little on
predatory privilege. The privilege
of holding valuable land out of use,
is not taxed at all, even while the
administration is frantically urging
that more land be cultivated.
1t is evident that the committee
must have deliberately disregarded
practically every expression OF opln-
ion from the voters. 1t was flood
ed with requests urging that tax
on land values be levied to raise war
expenses. 1t was also urged by a
large group of citizens to conscript
all individual incomes in excess of
100000. But it is certain that no
ordinary citizen in his senses, with
no AK to grind, asked it to put
taxes on tea, coffee, chewing gum,
automobiles, moving pictures, or 9TH
err labor products. What type of
craftsmanship is it, that leads to
such contempt of good policy and
good politics ?-American Economic
League.
The labor journal. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1909-1976, 1917-06-01

committee overlooked. 1t has paid
no attention to land values at all.
To be sure the income tax falls to
some extent on ground rents, but
only on ground rents for land in
use. Land withheld from use, how
ever valuable it may be, is eX-
empt. This discriminates against
the landowner who does not en-
tirely forbid use of his property.
At the very time when a crop
shortage threatens and people are
being urged on all sides to plant or
every bit of vacant space, the Ways
and Means Committee deliberately
frames a bill, that continues en-
couragement to owners of idle land,
to keep it out of use.
A substitute for the bill framed
by the committee has been intro
duced by Congressman Crosser, of
Ohio. 1t provides for tax on
land values, large enough to raise
the $4,000, 100000 needed. III passed,
it will force into use every bit of
valuable land now withheld. 1t will
not prove a burden to a single
useful industry. 1t will be in the
nature of levy on citizens in ac-
cordance with benefits received
from the government Its superior
ity over the Ways and Means Com
mittee's bill is so obvious, that there
is no reason why it should not be
passed.
But Congress is not in the habit
of giving the best bill the prefer

only one that will prove no burden
to labor. The Committee on Ways
and Means recommends heavily in
creased taxes on industry, increased
taxes on incomes, regardless of
whether they be earned or unearned;

Agreement Reached Between the
King County Medical Society
and the Medical Aid De-
partment.

A committee, consisting of Drs.
Won Publ, Hunt, Kelton, and Dud-
ley, representing the King County
Medical society, called on the Medi-
cal Aid Board Tuesday, May 22d,
and discussed the plans which the
society has adopted for taking care
of men engaged in extra-hazardous
employment which comes under the
provisions of the industrial insur-
ance act Of this state.
The society proposes to take over
the treatment of all of the men
who may be injured and who are
entitled to treatment, allowing the
men free choice of physicians.
The work is to be done on a flat
rate fee bill system, and the bills
are to be presented to the Medical
Society which holds the contract with
the employer, their contention being
that this will give the injured work
men everything that they are en-
titled to under the act, and, in addi-
ton to this, it will insure the most
efficient treatment, owing to the
fact that the Medical Society will
be handling and responsible for the
treatment of all of the men, paying
their bills. The treatment of each
individual under these conditions will
not be so much in the hands of one
physician, but the work will be
checked by the society, and cases
that show necessity for special
care will thereby receive special at
tention. This plan seems practical,
and, if entered into in the right
spirit, should meet the approval of
all of the parties concerned.
The following is in the plan of the
society:
"Whereas the medical aid law has
been passed in this state, which pro-
vides and legalizes contract sys
tenn and individual choice of physi
clan for the medical and hospital
care of injured workmen;
"And whereas, it is manifest that
the contract system, as shown, will
become permanent;
Therefore, be it resolved, that the
King County Medical Society, for the
best and material interest of its
members, organize an industrial serv-
ice bureau, supervised by five mem
bers of the society, which bureau
shall have full power to make
contracts for the society with en-
ployers and employees and supervise
the business management of such
bureau.
"Be it further resolved that such
bureau become operative at once"

TRADES COUNCIL
She Trales Council held no meet
ing this week, having adjourned in
honor of Memorial Day.

members of the Woman's Board are
of such character as to warrant the
opinion that this board also is fully
aware that industrial justice is fun
damental in protecting the inter-
est of women. Much serious con-
sideration has been given to this
matter in order that the rights of
women may be protected as well
as the interests of the entire labor
movement. The tendency is ap.
parent that in the months to come
the number of women going into
industry will be vastly increased. 1t
will take the united effort of all to
secure the protection of these wo-
men who shall go into industry and
new occupations.
l hope, therefore, that the hearty
support and cooperation Of every
woman and man in the labor move
ment can be counted upon for this
work, which is of fundamental i'm
portance.
The work of the committee is yet in
a formative stage.
