SECOND CROP OF |. W. W.
LEADERS HAVE BEEN INDICTED
Seventy Members of the Organization
Are Involved in the Prosecutions
Soon to Be Begun.

The government is not planning to
rest on its oars in pursuing the In
dustrial Workers Of the World men
ace, following the conviction in Chi
cago of nearly a hundred leaders,
but is planning to push to an early
trial important indictments at Wichi-
ia, Kan, and at Sacramento, Cal.
Frank K. Nebeker, of Salt Lake City,
chief government prosecutor in the
Chicago trial, does not at this time
expect to take a hand in either case,
because of pressing business at home.
He has been away from Utah for
more than year preparing and try
ing the case just closed in Chicago.
George F. Vandeweer, chief counsel
OF the Chicago l. w, w. defendants,
probably will handle the Sacrament
to defense.
The forthcoming trials follew in
dictments covering substantially the
same ground as the Chicago indict-
ment, which secured an indictment
on four of its five counts. Something
like 70 |. w. WIS are involved in the
two eases. Indictments against other
Il. W. w. have been returned at
Hutchinson and Newton, Kan.

MANY DEATHS FROM
SPANISH INFLUENZA
SIXTEEN DIE IN ONE HOUR IN
BOSTON. SURGEON GENERAL
GIVES ITS SYMPTOMS.

BOSTON, Mass.-Infuenza caused
sixteen deaths in six hours in Great
er Boston today.
Several hundred new cases were re-
ported.
Medical officers said they believed
they had the situation well in hand,
but the disease not being a reportable
one in civil life the health officials
were unable to state to what extent
it was spreading. The deaths today
were of naval men.
Has Begun TO Spread.
Surgeon General Blue, of the pub
lie health service at Washington, has
made a Geographic survey to deter
mine the extent of Spanish influenza
in the United States. Gen. Blue has
found there was sharp outbreak at
Fort Morgan, near Mobile, Ala, in
August and at about the same time
a tramp steamer arrived at Newport
News with almost the entire crew
Frustrated. Philadelphia reported a
few cases some four weeks ago and
more than 200 have been reported
from New York. The Boston out
break was reported September II,
since when the epidemic has appear
ed at New London, while New Or
leans has not wholly escaped.
"The disease is characterized by
sudden onset" said DR.. Blue to the
Associated Press. People are strick-
en- on the streets, while at work in
factories, shipyards, offices or else
where. First there is a chill, then
fever with temperature from 101 to
LOG, headache, backache, reddening
and running of the eyes, pains and
aches all over the body and general
prostration. Persons so attacked
should go to their homes at once, get
to bed without delay and immediate
ly call a physician.
Treatment Is Simple.
Treatment under direction of the
physician is simple, but important,
consisting principally of rest in bed,
fresh air, abundant food, with dow
er's powder for the relief of pain.
Every case with fever should be re-
garded as serious and kept in bed at
least until temperature becomes nor
NAL. Convalescence requires careful
management to avoid serious compli-
cations, such as bronchial pneumonia.

BURLESON IS BUCKED
ON TELEPHONE RATES
COMMISSION TELLS
HIM 1T WILL NOT APPROVE
INSTALLATION CHARGES.

MONTGOMERY, Ala.-Rates fix
ed by Postmaster General Burleson,
especially with reference to installa-
ton charges of telephones, will not
be approved by the Alabama public
service commission.
A letter from w. T. Gentry. pres
ident of the Southern Bell Telephone
company, to the public service COM
mission, asking that approval be Civ
en- the promulgated rates, called at
tentiOn to the fact that such rates
were mandatory.
The commissions reply, dictated by
President Sam P. Kennedy, says in
part:
"These rates if established result
IN an additional charge to the sub
scriber, an advance in rates. If the
authority for making telephone rates
IN Alabama is now lodged with Mr..
Burleson then approval of any
changes which you contemplate MAX
ing is not at all necessary by this
commission.
Further, it has never been the
policy of this commission to approve
rates and charges until after a thor
ough investigation, and | am frank
to say to you, without investigation,
the charges herein proposed appear
to this commission, prima facie, un-
just and unreasonable, therefore this
commission declines to approve
them"

REVENUE Nut DUE
BEFORE ELECTION DAY
PLENTY OF ISSUES OVER WHICH
TO MAKE A TIME-KILLING
FIGHT. DEBATABLE POINTS.

WASHINGTON, d. Cit is high
ly improbable that the revenue bill
will be enacted by election day, which
s less chan two months away. The
ate will have exceeded its speed
H. ait if the bill passes before then.
At the rate of progress made to date
the bill may be under consideration
when the short session of congress
opens in December.
Ten weeks have elapsed since Sec
rotary of the Treaury McAdoo sent
recommendations to the ways and
means committee for the legislation,
and more than IA weeks since rev.
enue legislation for this session was
determined upon. 1t has been eight
weeks since the ways and means com
mittee formally began hearings on
the measure. That committee requir-
ed six weeks in which to put the bill
in shape to report to the house The
measure was reported September 3.
Debate began two days later, and it
was passed Friday of last week.
If the bill is laid before the senate
finance committee during this week
that will allow but six weeks
until election for reporting it to the
senate and debating it after it reach
es that body, or about half the time
required before the ways and means
committee and the house representa-
tives
No Easy Time for Senate.
Last year the revenue bill provid-
ing for less than $3,0O0,00O, 1000, as
compared with 8,000,00O,000 in the
bill, was not approved by the presi-
dent until 20 weeks after it was in
PRODUCED in the house Fifteen weeks
of this time the bill was before the
senate finance committee and then
three weeks in the house and two
weeks it was in conference,
Developments since the senate f.
nance committee started public hear
ings on the measure Indicate that the
bill will not have as easy a time on
the senate side as at first expected
The fight is taking shape along lines
similar to the fight of last year be-
tween those for excess profits taxes
and those for war profits taxes. The
senate last year approved war
Nv bctA '1IlO OtIly eSICCd W IllOSC
established under existing law after a
hard fight.
Senators Thomas, of Colorado /;
Smoot, of Utah, and others are for a
straight war profit tax of 80 per
cent, and are preparing amendments.
They claim the support of several
! other senators. Chairman Simmons,
of the finance committee, is non-com-
initial as to his position on this ques-
ton.
Problems are arising over invested
capital and definitions required by
the excess profits plan. Numerous
complaints that injustice is caused
by the house plan have been laid be-
fore the senate committee. The diff
ferential between divided and undi-
vided profits for applying-12 and 10
per cent. normal taxes, respectively,
is a proposition some senators fear
will cause complications.

BREWERIES MUST CLOSE
ON DECEMBER 1ST NEXT
Fou~ Big War Bodies of Government
Recommend Ban on Beer.

The brewing of malt liquors in the
United States must cease on Dec.
until further notice, according to an
order issued by the food administra-
ton, which also has prohibited the
purchase of any unmalted grains for
brewing purposes. The action, which
came suddenly, followed a conference
in Washington in which the food ad-
ministration took the position that
the breweries are consuming grain
that is needed for food. The fuel
administration complained that the
coal to operate the breweries cannot
be spared. The railroad administra-
ton objected to the amount of space
devoted to beer shipments and the
war industries board to a continu-
ance of beer making because the la
Dor employed is needed in war plants.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The house
late today passed the war revenue
bill designed to raise by taxation ap-
proximately $8,182,0OO,O0 of the
twenty-four or more billions needed
by the nation for the current year.
The huge measurable largest of its
kind in the history of any nation
now goes to the senate. Passage of
the bill was unanimous.
The measure, as it goes to the SEN
ate, contains practically no modifca-
ton Of the major taxes on incomes,
war profits and Injuries as drafted
by the house ways and means COM
mlttee.
Changes Made.
Changes proposed by the commit
tee and adopted by the house includ-
ed:

ceipts exceed $4,000, with an addi-
tional SIS tax for wholesalers.

A provision changing the tax on

Cotton Tax Fails.
The cotton tax, proposed by Rep
resentative Moore, of Pennsylvania
after a heated discussion between the
author and Representative Rainey, of
Illinois, and members from southern
states, was ruled out on point of
order made by Representative Crisp,
of Georgia, after a similar amend
ment to tax cotton used in textiles
had been defeated 100 to % on q
rising vote. Representative Saun-
ders, of Virginia, presiding, held the
cotton tax proposal not germane to
the bill under house rules, with the
result that Representative SABBATH, of
Illinois, abandoned his proposal to
tax steel and steel products

URGING GEORGIA FARMERS
TO RAISE MORE WHEAT
Duty to Eliminate the States De-
mand From the Market.

For a year or more the federal
government, the state commissioner
and the head of the Farmers Union
of Georgia have been appealing to
the farmers of the state to plant
wheat, at least enough wheat to feed
themselves, their families and de-
pendents. Many of them responded to
that appeal, with the result that the
past season saw more wheat raised
in Georgia than ever before. The ma
jority Of the farmers have not re-
sponded to that appeal and now,
wheat PLANTING time having come
around again, the same plea is being
made to them, that every farmer in
the state put in e. least two :or~oe
of wheat this season and take the
Georgia demand for -four out Of The
General market.
