GOMPERS OPPOSES
W0RK-OR-FIGHT LAW
Says Labor is Doing Its Part
and Proposed Bill Reflects
on Its Loyalty
THOMAS BILL
WILL BE OPPOSED

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15-Ornnlzed
labor's emphatic opposition to any
work-or-nght provision in the new
man-power bill extending the draft age
is expressed in a letter from Samuel
Gompers, president Of the American
Federation Of Labor, received by mem
bers Of the Senate Military Commit
tee.
The letter referred particularly to
an amendment Dy Senator Thomas, Of
Colorado, proposing 10 withdraw de-
ferred classilcations given for indus
trial reasons where men absent them
selves from their work for more than
five days without cause. The provis-
ion, as added TO the bill yesterday by
the committee, was a modification by
Senator Reed. Of Missouri, eliminating
the flve-day limit.
IN my judgment" Mr.. Gompers
wrote Of the Thomas amendment no
measure cVuld be enacted with more
injurious consequence 10 continuous
production than the enactment Of such
a measure as indicated. The wOrmen
in the United States are doing their full
share Of service and duty. They are
whOle-heartedly supporting the war
program; they are giving themselves,
their sons, their brothers and other
blood relations on the firing line. They
are producing more per man and more
TO the aggregate than any man or
group Of men in any other country on
the face Of the globe.
Here and there may be one or a
few who may have failed TO perform
their whole duty, but ! submit, sir, to
your serious consideration, whether, II
a bill were enacted into law which all
the workers Of our country would be
Justified as interpreting as a reflection
upon their services and their loyalty,
it.wOuld not create a reaction most un-
favorable to our common purpose in
service IN winning the war.
In England, where the strenuous law
now obtains having provisions which,
Il is said, IL is your purpose to offer
for adoption by our Congress, strikes
and cessati0ns Of work have occurred
IN many instances, moCe instances than
exist in the United states at the present
time.
THE men Of labor OF our country
are carrying on their work with but
the slightest interruption anywhere.
They are voluntarily surrendering
rights they have enjoyed under the
constitution and the laws and the
spirit Of our country.
Il appeal to you not TO attempt TO
take by the force Of law what the men
are so generously and patrlotically
volunteering"

FREE RIDERS MUST
SURRENDER SEATS
Railroad M ma ge m EN- t
Orders Employees to
Yield to Public
PASS PRIVILEGE
MAY BE FORFEITED

Free riders on railway trains holding
complimentary passes as employees or
for any other reason, are IN danger OF
losing the privilege The Federal man
agement OF the railways sent yester-
day 10 pass-holdlng employees a notice
signed by Elisha Lee, Federal manager
Of railways in the Allegheny region,
with the approval Of Regional Director
Markham, impressing upon them the
obligation Of courtesy 70 the public and
the necessity Of giving preference in
seating accommodations to travellers
who pay.
The notice was followed by a letter
addressed 10 the superintendent Of each
division OF tile Pennsylvania Railroad
system, calling attention to the obliga-
tiOn resting on free riders and Insisting
that the purpOrt Of the notice shall be
strictly observed. An official OF the
Federal management said Indifference
TO this requirement would result in
the recall Of the pass privilege OF the
person TO whom il was issued.
Attention was recently drawn TO the
fact that on one OF the suburban lines
Of the Pennsylvania Railroad as many
as thirty or forty paying commuters
were frequently observed standing in
krains while seats were occupied by
persons travelling on passes. On one Of
the divisions Of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road in the western part Of the state all
passes issued TO free riders bear a
stamped Endorsement on the back that
seats must not be occupied when pas
sengers with paid tickets are standing.
Il believe It is the custom for a free
rider 20 get up and give his seat to a
woman standing in car" said an OH
cial Of Federal Managers Lees office.
But this is nothing more than a
courtesy that might be expected from a
paying rider. The point is that no pay
ing rider should stand in a crowded
railway car whether man OF a
woman, when a person riding free oc-
cupies a seat. And it is the policy Of
the management TO see that the ethics
in such cases are fully observed, even
to the extremity Of recalling pass
The text Of the notice sent 10 pass
holding employees Is as follows:
IN view Of the reduction in passen-
ger train service, required as a war
measure TO aid the movement OF troops,
government supplies and freight, all
employees riding on passes should be
especially careful I'm observing their
courteous obligation not to occupy
seats when pay passengers are stand

tax and the excess profits tax that VIII
be satisfactory 10 everybody" said
Chairman kitchln.
THE distinction between war-prof-
its tax and the eXcess-prOtlts tax is
not 2 matter OF form. but Of substance.
BY a war-proflts tax we mean a tax
upon profits in excess Of those realized
before the war. By an eXcess-proflts
tax we mean a tax upon capital. The
theory OF a war-prOfts tax is TO tax
profits due TO the war. The theory Of
an excess-proflts tax IS to tax profits
over and above a given return on cap
ital.
"a war-profts tax finds its sanction
in the conviction OF all patriotic men
OF whatever economic or political school
that no one should profit largely by the
war. The excess-proflts tax must rest
upon the wholly indefensible notion
that it is a function OF taxation tC
bring all profits down to one level with
relation % the amount Of capital invest
ell and TO deprive industry, foresight
and sagacity OF their fruits.
"The excess-pr0nts tax eXempts capi-
tal and burdens brains, ability and en-
ergy. The excess-prolts tax falls less
heavily on big business tnan on small
business, because big business gener-
ally Overcapilalized and small businesses
are often undercapltalized.
"The war-proflts tax would tax all
war profits at one high rate; the ex-
cess-prOflt tax does, and for safety
must, tax all excess profits at lower
and graduated rates. Any graduated
tax upon corporations Is indefensible
In theory, for corporations are only
laggregations Of individuals, and by such
tax the numerous small stockholders
lof a great corporation may be taxed at
a rather higher rote than the very
wealthy large stockholders Of a rela-
lively smaller corporation. The OBJ
iect OF a graduated tax should be to
make taxes fan upon the rich, who are
best able TO pay them. The graduated
excess-proflts tax disregards this and
often produces the reverse result
