Fired From Shoulder and Hip.
These first machine guns are known
as the heavy types and were presently
reduced in weight and developed in
mobility, becoming what are known as
the portable intermediate types of
which the Lewis gun is an example.
Still further lightness and mobility
were wanted, however; something that
would convert an ordinary rifle into
an effective machine gun for brief out
bursts Of fire. In other words, the
true type Of light machine gun as ex-
emplified first in the French Chaucnat
and now in the light Browning. These
two fighting tools are thus far the only

our military observers in France, the
drift of the French army is decidedly
toward greater use Of automatic rifles
Of the highly portable type. The
Browning gun is the only gun Of its
type that can be fred from the shoul-
der and hip.

ATTACK INCREASED
RATES ON GRAIN
National Conference Of Farmers Co.
operative Associations File Complaint
Against rs Per Cent Advance Order
Ask Re- establishment of Old Rates.

Washington, Aug. Increased
freight rates on corn. oats, rye and
barley, granted by Director General
McAdoo in his rs per cent advance or
der of June % last, was attacked today
by the National Conference Of Farm
ers' Cooperative Associations in a
complaint filed with the interstate COM
merce commission, asking that the old
rates be reAestablished.
Director General McAdoo and all
railroads under federal control are
named descendants in the complaint,
which asserts that the 25 per cent in
crease order resulted in an advance
on coarse grain Of 'S5 to so per cent
The price Of these grains, it is pointed
out, unlike wheat. is not fixed, the
farmers receiving the price at the pri-
mary markets, minus tho freight
charge, which condition, it is alleged, is
unfair to farmers in selling the coarse
grains.
The increased rates are declared to
be discriminatory. to violate the inter-
state commerce law and to be unau-
thorized by the law. creating railroad
administration. The complaint urges
the interstate commerce comission to
set the case for early investigation at
some centrally. located point in the
grain belt.

that the department be given power
to fix the class.
The committee decided that corpora

follows:
Mining and similar hazardous lines,

per cent deduction on the first, 10 per
cent on the second, and per cent on

The deductions are from the flat sOs

MINERS. WANT MORE PAY.
President Hayes Says, Bonus System
s3a.s Disrupts the Industry.

~
Indianapolis, Aug. 17.-Labor condi-
tions in the coal mining industry, for
which 1.-THE only logical solution Is
substantial fiat wage, Increase" will be
discussed by district presidents of the
United Mine Workers in washington.
Aug, %, according TO Frank ]. Hayes,
president
The wage increase "can be met by
tho operators without, an increase in
the price Of coal TO the public" as
serted the miners official.
Z The labor condition has been caused.
President Hayes said, by many mine
owners paying bonuses in excess Of
wage scales to obtain and keep miners
in their mines. Mr. Hayes continues:
1.-THE practice has. become SO wide
spread that the stability Of the entire
industry Is threatened and the coal
operators themselves are becoming
alarmed at their own handiwork.
''The fuel administration Is investi-
gating1to find out the identity of oper-
ators who bid for labor with bonuses.
IF bonuses are eliminated the in
dustry. will lose thousands Of workers
so necessary to maintain production.
IF wages are not increased to those
not now receiving bonuses then the in
dustry faces a sure, and certain loss OF
needed man power.
For the protection OF our entire war
program, to keep the wheels Of basic
industry going full blast, it is necessary
that a wage adjustment be made on a
basis that will put an end to the
wholesale competition for men and hold
the miner to the mines where he would
like to remain II but given the equiva-
lent wage possible for him to receive
in other industries"
Hayes quotes a letter to Dr. Car
field from officers of the United Mine
Workers stating that Illinois, Ohio and
Pennsylvania operators pay bonuses,
while the operators of the southwest
states and in Tennessee and eastern
kentucky have petitioned the fuel ad-
ministration to prohibit bonuses.

SALARIES TO PAY LESS THAN
REVENUES OF WEALTHY
UNDER NEW LAW.
HOUSE COMMITTEE ADOPTS
M'ADoo's SUGGESTION
Partial Payments to Be Permitted
Names Of All Who File Statements
to Be Posted at County Seats as
Means Of Detecting sIackers-Un-
earned Incomes Taxed.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE recon-
mendation Of Secretary McAdoo that
heavier taxes be imposed upon un-
earned incomes than upon salaries or
bye the ways and means committee.
A differential of per cent against
the unearned income was agreed to-,
so that the normal rate on incomes
of this class will be 10 per cent, while
on others it will be 10 per cent.
In defining unearned incomes the
committee designated them as derived
from dividends on preferred stock, on
interest, rentals. royalties and annui-
ties.
Pay lon Insta ailments.
The committee changed the section
previously adopted providing for the
payment of income taxes by individ-
uals and corporations in jnstallments
The new provision will permit one
third Of the total amount to be paid
kat the time the return is filed, one
third in two months and the balance
in two months.
II payments were made by the call
endar year. this would mean the first
payment would be on March Is, the
second on May Is and the remainder
on July 10.
There is to be no rebate or discount
for full payment at the time the re-
turn Is made.
To Catch Evaders.
An amendment designed to assist the
federal authorities In detecting income
tax slackers was adopted. providing
for the posting at the county seat of
the names Of all persons who file state
ments for payment Of the income tax.
The names only. and not the amount
OF income, are to be posted, but it is
believed that this form OF publicity will
make 1t impossible for many to escape.
This >amendment was introduced by
Representative Rainey of Chicago.
The committee decided to allow the
commissioner Of internal revenue an
additional appropriation Of $500, 900,
or s25,o00,000 In all, and five deputies
to enforce the law. This Is the amount
reqAested by Commissioner Roper.
MeAdoo Plan Opposed.
The treasury departments plan for
fixing war profits rates will be opposed
in certain features.
The treasury asked that corporations
be divided into arbitrary classes and
