There was a demonstration at Clark dale today participated in by several hundred miners who marched from

 Union officials announced late today they had rejected proposals made by the Industrial Workers of the World that the strikers accept the increased
 wage scale offered by the operators and return to work without pressing demands for recognition of the union.
 The proposal of the Industrial Work CTS of the World was presented to the union leaders by committee appoint ed at a mass meeting. It recommended
 the miners offer to accept the Miami scale provided the companies reinstate all strikers It also embodied a counter proposition that the strikers demanded S6 a day for underground work. s5.50 on surface work and two men to each machine drill.

WOMEN AND CHILDREN CLAMORINC

 BOMBS OF GERMAN AIR RAIDERS
LRepubIIcsn A. p Leased Wirel

A TOWN ON THE SOUTHEAST COAST OF ENGLAND, tNia London), May 26.-Women and children who had stood for hours in a Long line in the busiest street here waiting to purchase potatoes were the principal victims of the German air plane raid last even ing. Intent only on not losing their places in the line, the women and chill dren had little warning of the rad, and were easy victims of the air vultures who dropped their deadly bombs indis- criminately
 The raid, which claimed the lives of 76 persons and caused injury to 175 oth- CTS. proved more deadly than any of the Zeppelins- -have made on England since the war began.
 Flying so high that they looked like a flock of ducks, the raiders Tained doz- ems of bombs on the busiest block of the main thoroughfare which was choked with shoppers of every age.
 A correspondent or the Associated Press visited the destroyed district to- day. He found a grocery store that had collapsed and was told by the grocer, who lost two members Of his family. that ten dead persons were found in the debris of the building. \ dozen more were killed and three score or more were injured by flying glass and bricks and shraprel-like fragments which were scattered forcibly by the bursting shells.
 Many persons lost their lives on narrow stair-like passage way between two buildings on this street when a bomb burst overhead, the concussion killing them. All the victims i'll this part of the town were struck down within radius of 200 yards.
 One of the most striking results was the small property damage here com rared with the heavy loss of lives. This is thought to have been due to the fact that the bombs happened to drop where large crowds of shoppers. aug mented by people attracted to the po- tato sale, were gathered.
 In the residential sections of the town Fashionable homes were demol-
 shed but only one or two victims were found in the ruins. The raiders made bee line over the town, first bombing the residential section and then pelting the shopping district as they flew out to sea.
 The casualty list for this town alone YVES tonight placed at sixty dead and 150 injured. Large gangs of workmen continued to work into the night on the l huge piles of debris in the residential section where several persons are miss ing.
 The raiders spent less than three minutes over this town. They came from places further inland which they had bombed freely The loss of life and property damage in those places, how ever, is reported to have been compar- atively slight At one place baseball game was Tn progre SIS when a bomb fell in the outfield. Fragments of the burst ing shell wounded the right and center fiel1ers so severely that they had to be taken to hospital.
 i While the towns dead were being counted hy the coroner at a preliminary | inquest the town council at a meeting | adopted a resolution demanding the in ternment of German storekeeper who is said still to be doing business in the 1 town.

 NEW YORK, May 26.-Declaring the program recently outlined by the com mittee on coal production of the Coun- cil Of National Defense would place the great coal areas of the nation at the dictation of the avowed enemies of union labor, with all the oalamities that would entail" John F. White, president of the United Mine Workers of Amer ica, today addressed a protest to Presi- dent Wilson and the members of the Council of National Defense. The mine workers, he asserted must not be chained to the soil in the spirit of the old Russian serfdom,' as the ar engagement proposed by the committee on coal production would chain them" "
 "A matter of grave concern to our nation has been precipitated by the sudden development out of your organ ization of a committee on coal produc- tion which sets aside a complete na- tional agreement between mine owners and mine workers recently arrived at in New York City" said Mir. Whites let ter. By that agreement the basic in dustry of the nation was placed on an assured foundation of adequate and uninterrupted coal supply. Speaking on behalf of the half mil = lion workers of our organization, I call to your attention the fact that these two notable conferences of the central competitive field and the anthracite field offered to you, as an auxiliary to your own council. joint committees of operators and workers to direct the production of coal on that basis of mu- tual interest and mutual confidence and efficiency.

 WASHINGTON, May 26.-Efforts of the administration to secure enactment by congress of newspaper censorship legislation assumed a new and, in the belief of some officials, a more com plicated form today when senate and house conferees agreed on a new cen sorship section of the espionage bill
 As redrafted, the conferees action provides for prohibition by congress of the wilful publication of military in formation useful to the enemy, with au- thority for the president only to pre- scribe what information of the specific classes may be excepted. Trial juries would be required to determine whether publication of such information were wilful and whether the information actually was of benefit to the enemy.
 The conferees regarded the suhsti- ute as an extreme modification of all previous censorship proposals but some senators and representatives re- fused to accept that opinion. Presi- dent Wilson, the conferees said, had not been consulted regarding it. Some op- ponents of previous censorship pro- posals said they would oppose it viz orously.
 The conferees agreed on several Other disputed sections of the espionage measure. including those providing for export embargoes, extension of the use of search warrants and protection of foreign commerce.

CROSS SALES TAX STRICKEN OUT IF
 WAR REVENUE BILL
Republican A. P. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, May 26.-Proposals for five per cent tax on manufactur- CTS gross sales in many industries and for greatly increased suxtaXes on big. incomes were stricken out of the war revenue bill today by the senate if nance committee cutting down by many millions the total revenue provided for as the measure passed the house.
 The manufacturers sales tax was re- jected bodily with the understanding that other and probably lower levels would be substituted later. After re- fusing to accept the increased surtaxes on incomes of more than s40,000 written into the bill during the house debate. the committee approved the remainder of the income tax schedule virtually in the form in which it originally was drafted by the house ways and means committee.
 The decision to throw out the manu- facturers' tax, which would have af- fected producers of motor vehicles and many forms of merchandise. was prompted by desire to eliminate the flat tax imposed upon business gener- ally and to distribute the levy more equitably the committeeman said.
 The section was designed to raise $11S,750,000 annually, to be made up in whole or part by other forms or rates of taxation.
 For the house tax on manufacturer s sales of motor vehicles the committee expects to substitute a general. direct and graduated federal license tax upon owners of motor vehicles, at rates yet to be fixed, based either upon original selling cost or horsepower. The effect it was said, will be to transfer the tax burden from the manufacturer to the owner The majority of the committee was said to favor annual taxes of $10 to SIS on motor trucks and vehicles used for business purposes may be ex- empted.

posal of garbage in the city for the

Mr.. Hagy announced he is endeav-
oring to lease a large farm not far
from the city limits so that the gar
bage, after it is collected, can be
taken directly to the piggery without
long haul. Work on the construc-
tion of pens for the hundreds of hogs
which will be kept, will be started as
soon as a farm is secured. Members
of the. firm will take charge of the
collection and disposal work them
selves. The piggery which will be
maintained here will be similar to the

By Associated PresS

Philadelphia, Dec. 10. - Judges
Burlington and Woolley, of the Unit
ed States Circuit Court of Appeals, to-
day handed down a decision reversing
the finding of the United States
Circuit Court which held that
the Pennsylvania Railroad violated
the act of March 4, 1907, in connec-
tion with the hours of employment of
firemen and engineers on freight loco
motives on the Philadelphia and Erie
branch of the company's lines. The
decision of the lower court was made
here October 26, 1916.
The Court of Appeals ruled that
the case be remanded to the lower
court for further procedure and held
that owing to the abnormal conditions
brought about by the war final settle
ment should be adjusted by a con-
ference of employees, railroad officials
and the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion rather than in a criminal court
