MILES OF CRIPPLED CARS.

Thousands of crippled freight cars,
accumulated during the winter be-
cause of gross neglect of railroads in
making repairs, occupy. miles of
tracks in eastern rail centers apd are
largely responsible for car shortage
and traffic congestion, according to a
report made by Charles C. McChord,
interstate commerce commissioner, to
Director of Railroads McAdoo.
These reports, based on hand
Investigations by a corps of trained
inspectors, cover the six weeks pc
riod since the government assumed
operation of the railroads, and indi-
cate that one of the most critical ills
of rail transportation under private
management was the side tracking Of
cars needing repairs.
These cars could have been repair
ed quickly during the winter if the
railroads had made proper prepara-
tions for covered repair tracks, ac-
cording to railroad administration
officials.
Of the many empty cars congested
in the Philadelphia yards of the
Pennsylvania railroad, 2,400 are coal
cars, inspectors reported, and at no
time within the last month have
here been less than 1,500 empty coal
cars there awaiting movement, while
coal mine operators were demanding

Here is Honor Flag of Third Liberty Loan

By the Honor Flag of the Third
Liberty Loan we will know the pa
triots of the nations-the individual
patriots, the town, city or county pa
triots, the state patriots.
The community over which the
Honor Flag flies first will be the COM
munity which has first loaned to
Uncle Sam all he asked to borrow
from that community to carry on the
war for the freedom of the world.
The specially designed Honor Flag
shown in the picture will be awarded
to every community to which quota
has been assigned as soon as that
community has attained that quota.
Then each subscriber in that COM
munity will get a small poster for
home window display containing a re-
production of the Honor Flag and
blank for the name of the subscriber.
In each community to which quota
has been assigned large honor roll
will be posted as conspicuously as
possible at the top of which will be

LICKING COUNTY'S SOLDIERS.
Her Khaki-Clad Sons Will Win Glory
and Fame Today as Did Their
FOrefathers in the Past.
(By John Bush)

Many events of interest of which
Licking county should feel proud have
occurred since 1893 when John Rat
life and Elias Hughes made the first
permanent white settlement within
the present limits of the county. But
none more interesting and noteworthy
than those, like which we are again
witnessing in the marching of our
soldiers down the same streets that
so many thousands of others have
marched to join the army of the
union in the years gone by.
AS little settled as was Licking
county in 1912, when the young men
were called to drop their axes and go
forth to protect this country against
the British, she contributed four COM
panies under the leadership of Cap
tains Rose, Davidson, Sutton and
Spencer. And again in 1916 Licking
county responded to the call to arms,
and in May Of that year the first
company was enlisted by Captain
Richard Stadden and saw service in
the war with Mexico along the Rio
Grande.
The federal enrolment Of men in
Licking county subject to military
duty for the years 1861 to 1864 in
the war of the rebellion was 4808.
She furnished $3.50 volunteers who
with 368 who were drafted, and 404
who served within the state makes
grand total of 1892, being over eighty
per cent of the number capable of
bearing arms.
The story of Licking county during
the war with Spain is one of willing
ness to do rather than of great things
done, as none of the organizations re-
cruited were called upon to- perform
service outside the territory of the
United States. But had the necessity
existed Licking county would have
-equaled her record of the past.
There is scarcely a battlefield in
any of the wars in which the United
States has been engaged in which
Licking county men were not present.
The blood of her gallant sons has
bathed the soil everywhere between
Canada and the Gulf of Mexico and
from the Rocky. mountains to some
where in France. Wherever the
soldiers of Licking county have
marched, wherever they have camped
and fought, they have been in the
first line of battle, their arms have
held up the flag of the Union, and
their names today are inscribed upon
their country's roll of honor. Now
the sons of these heroes of former
days are marching away to some
where in France, and Licking county
can feel confident that they will
maintain the honor achieved in the
past by their gallant forefathers.

RAILWAY MEN MAY GET RAISE
FROM JAN. l.

Wage increases totaling more than
a quarter of billion dollars annually
will soon be recommended for rail
road workers by the railway wage
commission.
The general average increases for
those awarded the boost will be about
5000 a year, it is understood. Some
employees are expected to receive no
increase at all, recent wage additions
having ben sufficient to meet the
cost of living advances, it is claimed.
The wage commission expects t.
have it's recommendation in the
hands of Director General McAdoo
within the next few days, but final
decision is not expected before May l..
While not officially confirmed, it is
stated by those in a position to know
that all increases will be retroactive
to Jan. 1.
1t is reported that railway unions
will be given satisfactory working
agreements, so the union organiza-
tion could be depended upon to throw
it's utmost effort behind all war work
with which it comes in contact.
General and division officers whose
salaries range above $4,000 annually,
are not expected to be counted in on
the wage boost, an official said But
the increase will affect practically
every branch of the national rail
roads employees, as well as dock and
ship hands of ship lines which were
taken over by Director General Nc
Adoo with the rail lines connecting

and the union standards as to wages,
hours of labor and other conditions
of employment shall be maintained.
In establishments where union and
non-u union men and women now work
together, and the employer meets
only with employees or representatives
engaged in said establishments, the
continuance of such condition shall
not be deemed grievance. This
declaration, however, is not intended
in any manner to deny the right, or
discourage the practice of the folma-
ton of labor unions, or the joining
of the same by the workers in said
establishments, as guaranteed in the
last paragraph, nor to prevent the
war labor board from urging, or any
umpire from granting, under the ma
chinery herein provided, improvement
of their situation in the matter of
wages, hours Of labor, or other condi-
tions as shall be found desirable from
time to time.
Established safeguards and regula-
tions for the protection of the health
and safety of workers shall not be
relaxed.
Women in Industry.
If it shall become necessary to en-
ploy women on work ordinarily per-
formed by men, they must be allowed
equal pay for equal work and must
not be allotted tasks disproportionats
to their strength.
Hours of Labor.
The basic eight hour day is rec
ncrnI1nl onTN1NrIno IN oil jY,
which existing law requires it. In all
labor shall be settled with due regard
to governmental necessities and the
welfare, health and proper comfort of
the workers.
Maximum Production.
The maximum production of all
war industries should be maintained
and methods of work and operation
on the part of the employers or work
ers which operate to delay OF limit
production, or which have tendency
to artificially increase the cost
thereof, should be discouraged.
Mobilization of Labor.
For the purpose of mobilizing the
labor supply with view to its rapid
and effective distribution, perma-
nent list of the number of skilled
and other workers available in diff
ferent parts of the nation shall be
kept on file by the department of la
Dor, the information to be constantly
furnished:
/. By the trade unions.
2. By state employment bureaus
and federal agencies of like character.
3. By the managers and operators
of industrial establishments through
out the country.
These agencies should be given op-
portunity to aid in the distribution of
labor, as necessity demands.
Custom of Localities.
In fixing wage, hours and condi-
tions of labor regard should always
be had to the labor standards, wage
scales, and other conditions, prevail
ing in the localities affected.
The Living Wage.
The right of all workers, including
common laborers, to a living wage is
hereby declared.
In fixing wages, minimum rates of
pay shall be established which will IN
sure the subsistence of the workers,
and his family in health and reason
able comfort.

BOYCOTT BY GORGAS,
OSTEOPATHS ASSERT
Head of Association Protests
Exclusion of Members
From War Work.

BosroN, July 1.-The charge that the
medica, profession. through Surgeon
General William {. Gorgas. virtually
had threatened the Government with
war service boycott il osteopaths were
admitted to the Medical Corps was made
by DR.. George w. Riley OF New York,
president Of the American Osteopathic
Association. at the annual convention OF
the association to-day.
I'VE have the bitter and relentless OPP
position of organized medicine" DR..
Riley declared THE American Medical
Association and the various State medi-
cal societies will exert every ounce of
political influence they can muster
against us. The Surgeon-Generars Of
nee Is made up entirely OF doctors OF
medicine and has already sent an unfa-
vorable report to the Military Affairs
Committee"
DR.. Riley based his charge on his in
terpretation OF the adverse report by
Surgeon-General Gorgas to the Military
Affairs committee on the bill to admit
osteopaths without the degree of medi-
cine TO the Medical Corps. He quoted
Gen. Gorgas as having said in his report :;
The admission OF osteopathic physi-
slams as such and without the degree OF
doctor of medicine to the Medical Corps
would have practically unanimous oppo-
sition of the medical profession Of this
country and OF all allied countries.
| would he regarded. and justly so, as
| lowering the standards, educational and
professional, of our Medical Corps, and
| would have a discouraging and detri-
mental effect upon efforts to secure ply
| sicians for the corps, both now and in the
| future, and upon the general morale OF
| the corps"

WARRINGTON. July 1.--Three billion
six hundred and seventy-two million
dollars in taxes was collected by the
Treasury Internal Revenue Bureau in
the fiscal year Just closed. according
to an official statement by Commissioner
Roper to-day. This is s272.00o,00o in
excess OF the estimate made by Con-
gress a year ago, when the revenue bill
was under consideration.
BY far the larger share Of these
taxes are represented by the income and
excess profits levies. made IN the last
revenue bill. Customs receipts have
fallen of from 1917 and will aggregate
about 5000. 100000. This Is largely due
to war; import restrictions and the lack
of ships. Miscellaneous internal reve-
nue. receipts are little more than a
billion dollars and the remainder Is In
come and excess profits taxes.
In the fiscal year 1917 the bureau
collected approximately 0o.0oo,oo
tho collections this year being four and
one-half times as great.
Law Called for New System.
In reviewing the years work in tax
collection Mr.. Roper said:
October 3, 1917, Congress enacted
very comprehensive nd complicated
war revenue law, which demanded the
most careful and painstaklng interpre-
tation. 1t involved the construction OF
hundreds Of rulings and numerous COM
prehcnsive forms and schedules for the
use OF taxpayers. This made necessary
campaign Of education among tax
payers and required a largely increased
force Of revenue officers and employees
in order to administer the law equitaoly
and with the least amount OF friction
THE force OF Office and field en-
ployees has been increased from about
1000 to about 5000. Tho cost OF col
lecting the s3,672. 100000 received in
1918 was about $12.000.000.
National patriotism and solidarity
engendered by the war has contributed
largely to our success. The way in
which the taxpayers have generally as
sisted and cooperated has been con-
| slant source Of inspiration.
Taxpayers Now Understand.
ct believe that the majority Of honest
taxpayers in this country now under
stand and appreciate more than ever
before tho methods and objectives OF
the Internal Revenue Bureau and will
/! be most effective in assisting us In our
| campaign for delinquent taxpayers as
we'll as those who have filed defective
| returns. 1t Is our purpose to equaliEe
tho tax burden by collecting from every
person and every industry the full
amount Of tax that is due to the Gov
eminent and not l cent more. and. on
the other hand. to return any excessive
| taxes which may have been collected.
Our efforts could not have been sue
| cessful without the cooperation OF very
| efficient group of assistants within our
| organization and OF a most loyal per-
sonnet throughout the service Our men
| have not observed an eight hour day but
have worked both day and night to
bring about the result we have accom-
plished. They have rendered real war
service to their country"
