GROWTH HAS BEEN RAPID
Cars Are Displayed to Good hdvan-

Owners in Matter OF Securing
Parts and Making Repairs.

Probably no enterprise in the city
can equal the growth OF the automo-
bile business in Richmond since 1910.
A few popular makes were common at
that time, but very little was seen OF
, the higher priced automobiles.
The virSinian Motor Car was the
first local attempt TO manufacture or
market the latter kind. but the. con-
Germ failed only n short while after
its establishment Some time later the
kaehler Company was founded near
the old Richmond College campus. and
had much success. as IL offered to
Richmond car owners the privilege OF
having their repairs made instantly
Stone established tho Buick agency
and i; prospered Immediately. The
Kline Motor Car Company took the
quarters vacated by the old NirE inian
car. and thus began the only manu-
featuring OF automobiles in Virginia.
In tho las. few years there have
been radical changes in the automobile
regime. The constant influx OF new
concerns raised competition to it's
highest pitch and. realizing Tho value
OF presenting their wares attractively
TO the eyes OF their prospective GUS
toners, The merchants moved into moro
spacious headquarters. The Kline
Company has beauti,ied it's salesrooms
and the Ford now AaS several Rich
mond agencies in new and handsome
quarters.
Other handsome and costly buildings
erected or improved during tho past
year are: The Terminal Motor Com
pany. Jones Motor Company. The Co
burn Motor Company, d. A. l'rentiss,
The Model Garage. The Harper-Over-
land Company. kirkmeyer Brothers, A.

Special DespdfcA TO THr SUE.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-The Secretary
Of the Treasury and Chairman Kitchin
Of the Ways and Means Committee spent
half Of to-day trying TO settle their diff
ferences over the normal tax on individ-
ual incomes and the excess profits rates.
and the Ways and Means Committee was
in session the other half. with no ma
terial progress on the $4,000, 000. 900 rev.
enue bill being accomplished. Mr.. Kitchin
and Mr.. McAdoo are to confer again to-
morrow.
Following the meeting OF the commit
tee, Mr.. kitchin confirmed the statement
published in THE SUN that the lower
normal tax on personal incomes prob
ably would remain in the bill as II Is.
This provides a tax of 10 per cent. on
earned incomes, and a tax Of II per cent
on unearned incomes. The Treasury Is
deslrous that these rates be made IL
and Is per cent. respectively.
Apparently Mr.. McAdoo and Mr..
Kitchin are still far apart on the ques-
ton Of excess profits.
1t was indicated to-day that while a
few changes may be made in the defini-
ton Of capital as II affects income and
profits taxes in the bill the changes are
not likely to be Of a vital character.
Mr. Kitchin defines as 'inadmissible as
sets" stocks or bonds. other than obliga-
lions OF the United States, which are
free OF the normal tax. Such securities,
held by any corporation. cannot be ac-
counted as part Of their capital. An
other definition. he said. would be such
securities as those whose income Is not
included in figuring net income.
whatever Is finally decided upon
about excess profits rates" Mr.. Kitchin
declared, 1T will be some plan which
meets with the full approval OF the
Treasury Department and the Ways and
Means Committee as we'll"
Mr.. Kitchin said the bill might not be
ready to introduce In the House until
Friday. A great many members OF the
committee are certain that the measure
will not be enacted until after the No
vember elections.

Anxiety Over New
Labor Principles
Rouses Employers
Much Concern Expressed
Over Tendency to Shape
Permanent Relations
By Theodore M. Knappen

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-In view OF
an impending announcement by Presi-
dent Wilson further defining the rela-
tions between employers and employees
in the war industries, much concern is
expressed by employers over what they
consider a tendency to shape the per-
manent control of regulation of rela-
tions between employers and employees
without due participation by the EN-.
ployers in the establishment of funda-
mental principles.
1t is complained that of eight or ten
adjustment boards dealing with indus.
trial relations that have been estab
hshed by various departments, bureaus
and war administrations. not one has
real representative Ct the employ
ing interests. Now these adjustment
boards in conference are laying dowr
the fundamental principles that shal
govern the relations of employers anC
employees, and the President is expect
ed soon to issue statement SUMMING
them up.
While these principles are thus
being established. there is being
worked out a system of joint boards OF
employers and employees in the princi-
pal trades under the patronage of the
War Labor Policies Board. 1t was the
intention to have these boards estab-
lish the basis of an 'icah'e rr'n' =, =

they are constituted Tie y. n~

water to the north and by the Brtish
to the west and south. The eastern
exit from the city was the only one
left open. One other possible means
of escape was by smashing off the
point of the Canadian salient to the
south of the city.
Then the Germans rushed out by
the eastern gates of the city all pos
sible material, leaving snipers and ma
chine gunners, who have given their
lives to protect the rear o. the main
German line. German transports and
troops raced to the northeast, along the
highway leading to Mons. Meanwhile
B~itish guns were working destruction
in the retiring ranks of the foe.
Carpet Of German Dead
South of Valenc,ennes, where the
Canadians have been operating. the
German losses were tremendous. More
German dead are strewn on the battle.
field than the Canadians ever have seen
before IN a similar area.
There were no bridges and the Ger
mans were holding the eastern bank
with machine guns. In the face of
fire the Canadians coolly
plunged into the river and waded
across.
Hand-to-hand fighting developed at
many places. but the British got
through without serious holdup. The
prisoners counted reached some 1000
this morning and they are still coming
in. One Canadian br gade took more
prisoners than it's total strength of in
fantry.

4 USTR1A-HUNGARY got out of
"A the war some days ago, when
she ceased to exist as a European
! state. Her armies have been fight
ing on in Italy under flag which
no longer represents anything Now
they, too, are gladly taking them
selves out Of the war Allied ar
mlstice terms, amounting to COM
plete surrender, have been accepted
by the de facto and de juncto
Austrian High Command. At 3
o'clock this afternoon hostiiities will
cease in the Italian field.
The Italians have practically at
tanned the two main military OBJ
jectives which they have had in
view since their entry into the war.
Their land and naval forces entered
Trieste yesterday. This port, the
goal of Italian Irridentist hopes for
generations past, had already de-
tached itself from the Dual Mon
archy. 1t welcomed the invaoers.
Fiume, Hungary's chief Adrat;c
port, has been handed over to a
Creation local government. 1t also
is on friendly terms with the Allies
and will surrender to the Allied feet
In the Adriatic the remainder of the
Austro- Hungarian navy assembled
in Fiume Harbor. 'Pola, the Dual
Monarchy's chief naval base, which
lies still further south, is now
memory. Italian submarines "pene-
trated it's landlocked waters few
days ago and sank the Viribus Uni
tbs, the last remaining Austrian first
class battleship. This was the vessel
chosen to bring back Archduke Fer
dinand's body from Serajevo. 1t par
ticipated in the opening scene of the
Hapsburg final tragedy. 1t sank at
the moment when the curtain was
falling on the history of that i'll
starred house.
! The Adr:atic has become an
Italian lake. Trieste and Italian
lstria are under the flag of United
Italy. In the north. too, the Italian
armies have hurried into Trent.
Trent and the Adige Valley are the
keys to the Northern Italian plains.
In Austrian hands they were a
dagger pointed at the heart of the
Italian kingdom. Now the Trentino
reverts to it's natural possessors.
Italy reacquires a northern noun
tain barrier, which makes her Sc
cure against attacks through the
passes of the Alps.
The Italian armies on the Adigs
front took Rovereto yesterday and
