SAYS UNION LABOR LAWS FORBID
STRIKE IN BEHALF OF MOONEY
Gompers Declares ''Protest" Would React
Against Workers Rights, in Commenting
y on Senator Poindexter' Disclosures.

menting on the assertion OF Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Fedora ton of Labor. that any attempt
general strike as n protest against the
alleged persecution of Thomas ].
Mooney would be violation of the
laws and repugnant to the rights and
interests of workers, James A. Dunca n,
secretary of the Seattle Central Labor
Council. made the following statement
to the Associated Press:
There will be no violation of union
laws. There never has been nor will
there be any attempt by so-called labor
leaders to- incite a strike. All action
thus far taken has been by oYerwheIm =
ing popular sentiment on the part of
the rank and file.
What were yesterday known as
leaders are today practically the
brakes of the workers as mass. and
in consequence of the attitude of the
so-called leaders always will be along
as conservative lines as consistent in
establishing justice where injustice is
found"
Mr.. Duncan said that none of the
officials OF the Central Labor Council
openly supported the resolution calling
for strike. He said that when the
resolution was adopted a month ago it
was understood that the measure call
ed for general strike May l. 1918,
~ 1oltiHue Until MooIleS was ITeeU,
but that the wording of the resolution
was ambiguous and that since then the
sentiment of the workers had changed
until the majority seemed now to favor
a strike lasting but one day.

Any attempt to incite a senerakStrike
on the Pacific coast. in protest against
the prosecution of Thomas Mooney and
others convicted in the San Francisco
bomb plotting cases. would be a vio-
lation of union labor laws and would
react against the rights of the work
ers. Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, declared
in statement last night. Mr.. Gompers
issued his statement following an
nouncement in the Senate >by Senator
Poindexter of Washington that Seattle
labor chiefs were proposing such
strike.
Mr. Gompers' statement follows:
The Vaccinations of the prosecu-
ton in the Mooney trial justlfies the
judgment that he was found guilty on
perjured evidence; it is greatly regret
table that the California courts re
fused to consider this claim. which,
was discovered since the trial. Every
legal action has been and will he taken
by the bona fide labor movement of
Mooney. Any attempt to incire a strike

is not only vio1ative of the laws of
the national and international unions
of America. but is repugnant to the
rights and the interests of the workers
themselves.
such an attempt either to incite or
order a local or general strike is I'M
justifiable and dangerously prejudicia1
to the lives of our sons and brothers
fighting in France for the safety of
the homes, freedom and democracy the
world over. In addition. such an agf-
tation as has been inaugurated can
only react against Mooney.
Men of labor, let us, with all fair
minded citizens, endeavor to secure
justice for Mooney. but let US put forth
our efforts on a line that will insure

Gold and silver stars are beginning
to appear on the red fields of the serv-
ice flags in this city and elsewhere in
the United States. particularly in New
York. The golden star indicates that
a member of the family, church, club,
office or establishment, represented by
a white star in the original service
flag, has made the supreme sacrifice of
his life for his country. The silver star
means that an American soldier. sailor
or marine, represented on the service

ally see no reason why the silver star
should not be used for all those who
have been in active service and have
been discharged because of disability
acquired in the service of their coun-

You understand that the service flag
is not official. but it is in general use
and the flying of it is encouraged. I'm

PROFITS TAX REVISED
Senate Committee Adopts a
Compromise Plan.
Rate on Excess Earnings Is Reduced
Change Secretary McAdoo
Constantly Urged.

Washington, Oct. 23.-In revising the
war excess profits tax feature of the
house war revenue bill, the senate
finance committee struck out the al
tentative system Of taxing war and ex-
cess profits and adopted a compromise
plan designed to raise somewhat less
than the $3.2OO.OOO.OOO estimated from
the house provisions.
Under the new provision, based on
an arbitrary mathematical formula,
the gsneral-fate- of 80 per cent on war
profits is retained. but the rate on ex-
cess profits is reduced. a change which
Secretary McAdOo has constantly
urged.
Adopting the same credits In com
putting taxes as provided in the house
bill, the new tax system of the com
mittee provides:
THAT the tax shall be the sum Of
the amounts computed under the fol-
lowing brackets:
81. Thirty per cent of the amount
of the new income in excess of the ex-
cess profits credit (S3.000 and s per
cent of invested capital) and not in
excess Of 20 per cent of the invested
capital.
'2. Sixty per cent Of the amount of
the net income in excess Of 20 per cent
of the invested capital.
SO. Eighty per cent of the amount of
the net income (if any in excess of
the sum Of (A) the war profits credit
and (B) one and one-fourth times the
tax computed under the first and sec
Ond brackets.
''1n any case where the, full amount
Of the excess profits credit is not al
lowed under the first bracket, the part
not so allowed shall be deducted from
the amount in the second bracket"
