LONG STRUGGLE. :
IS Terminated
New Jersey Street Car Employees
Given Liberal Concessions;
Strike Averted.

NEWARK, N, J., July 24.-De-
:claring that he was tired Of the con-:
tinued d1ssa ttsfaction Of his employees,
President McCarter Of the: Public
Service Railway company has signed
two-years' agreement with the AM
algamated Association of Street and
Electric Railway Employees of AM
erica. All employees not members of
this union must join. The nine-hour
dsH, with 1o-hours' pay is secured
and wages are raised s cents an hour
to date back to May l.. Overtime will
be paid for, and between so and IS
per cent Of the runs will be straight
runs.
This agreement marks the end Of
a 16-years' contest with the COM
pany, which is one of the most pow
erful in the country and controls
practically all of the street railway
systems in this state. s
A strike year ago was the first
united action of these employees. The
company then organized private
union" and began discriminating
policy against the unionists. Several
decisions by the national war labor
board were unsatisfactory to the men
and at the last conference President
McCarter told the employees that
while he had opposed the union in
the past che had formed a different
opinion lately and agreed to recogni-
ton.
This Endorsement Of the theory that
power is respected checks a. state
wide strike and benefits about 5000
workers. -, $1,000

PROPAGANDA IS
... |tL-ADv|SED
Activities Of Packers Against
Pending Legislation Are
Denounced.

/ WASHINGTON, July Charges
were made in the senate this week
that a very obvious and very forced
was being carried on in
to the Kenyon bill for the
regulation of the packing industry.
Charles S. Thomas, United States
senator from Colorado, who spoke on
the, subject, asserted that it was evil
dent that those persons who would be
affeced by this bill had entered into
an active fight to defeat it, and that
they were we'll organized for that pur-
pose. He characterized their activi-
ties as a nuisance and said that they
were being unintelligently directed.
Floods Of letters and kilograms are
reaching every member of the senate
daily, in an effort to develop senti-
ment against the bill, said Senator
Thomas. In pursuance Of this policy,
Swift & Co. have sent letters broad
cast to their stockholders 'denouncing
the proposed bills of Senator Ken
drick and Kenyon as revolutionary,
and their stockholders are very nu-
merous, for Swift & Co. have, been
selling a great deal of stock in the
last year or two. Cudahy & Co. sent
out a similar warning, and stockhold-
ers are now sending appeals to their
senators urging them not to do any,
thing that would deprive them Of
their stock and profits.
'Reed Smoot, United States senator
from Utah, said that there were vari-
ous propaganda programs being pro-
mulgated, as result of which he
constantly received letters and tele-
grams of protest against this or that
bill. Some of these, he charged, were
paid for by the government.

AMER RICANISm
LACKING AMONG
VESSEL OWNERS
Latter Would Build Up Merchant
Marine, But Favor Cheap
Alien Labor.

NEW YORK, July 24.-Patriotism
has collided with cheap alien labor
on American vessels and patriotism
has had a disastrous finish.
American vessel'owners have loudly
proclaimed their desire to build up
an American merchant marine,
manned by American citizens. r.
Their organized employees have
taken them at their word, and in
conference in this city asked 1.-THE
vessel owners to agree to give Ameri-
can citizens, regardless of union affil-
iation, first preference. These work.
ers waived the question of unionism
as regards American citizens, and
asked that where no American citizen
was available then the organized
workers as such. should be given pref
erence over aliens.
The vessel owners declined to .ac-
cept the offer.
The conference was attended by
representatives of the International
Seamen's union Of merica, the Amer
ican Association of Masters, Mates
eficial association and the employers
American Steamship association.
The unionists insist that there can
be no American merchant marine
until there are American boys on the
ships and that the policy of the ves-
sci owners is to discourage American
boys being attracted to the sea be-
cause they will not enter into compe-
tition with aliens who are satisfied
with lower living standards.
The unions are not asking for pref
erence, but they show that where pref
erence has been given unionists the
percentage of Americans on vessels
has increased in three years on the
Pacific coast from zero to "a per cent
and on the Atlantic from less than 10
per cent to 80 per cent. Where the
unions were given no preference there
were no Americans then and there
are no Americans now.
THE vessel owners are trying to
jockey the government into a COM
.bination and compel the government
to use its 10000 naval reserves in the
various camps" said Andrew Fur
useth, president Of the international
Seamen's union. T..
"The vessel owners. want the gov
ernment to furnish the strike-b break
ers against the marine unions" said
the trade unionist, who declared that
it would be impossible for these un-
ions to strike, as it would. stop the
transportation, of food and other sup
plies to Europe and the return of
American soldiers from France,

Expose Of Methods of Rich In
Avoiding Requirements Of
Income Tax Laws.

NEW YORK, July .24.-Collusion
with expert accountants and shrewd
attorneys is making it possible for
the very rich to fleece Uncle Sam out
Of millions Of dollars income tax, says
the New York World. g..
One favorite method of large stock
holders is to- sell in times Of market
depression, and then, through an
other broker, Immediately buy the
amount of stock at. an: equivalent
price. This is known as a wash"
sale, and tax deductions running into
the hundreds Of millions OF dollars
are made yearly by this expedienr
with apparently no way Of preventing
the practice.
But the boldest and meanest trick
to Beat Uncle. Sam out of his just
dues, says the World, is the fictitious
sale of automobiles. It is not un-
common for members of the million
aire, class to include in their "stable"
a half dozen cars whose total value
frequently runs up to $4,000 or $780,.
900. The cars are generally "sold" to
a. lawyer or some compfacent dummy.
Yachts are also transferred when tax
returns are due.
The income tax law permits mine,
oil and: gas companies to make "a
reasonable allowance for depletion and
depreciation Of improvement, accord
ing to the peculiar conditions in each
state"
Some Of the great copper and oil
interests have placed the most liberal
Interpretation on this clause and have
taken advantage Of it to a limitless
degree. The World shows how these
companies have operated under this
clause: " .,...
I'm the case OF. some of the big
copper companies millions have been
charged off each year, for ore taken
out Of the ground. In other words,
instead Of being an asset the ore
thus mined has become a liability.
In the cast of one big South Ameri-
can company, which is owned in Wall
street, more than $4,000,000 was
charged Oft last year for depletion OF
ore reserve; leaving only about 80
cents earned on the stock, and YET
this company calmly paid dividends OF
s. 4 share; on the stock. When this
matter was called to the attention OF
one Of the directors he admitted that
the expedient was adopted to offset

Tuesdays session Of the convention
began with the Introduction by Sec
retary George w. Lawson Of sreso-
luton urging organized labor to in
dorse and participate in the govern
ment's Thrift Stamp campaign. It
was unanimously adopted.
Mr.. Lawson did not have such good
luck with the next resolution. which
started the first battle Of the session.
It was by P. H. Waters. chairman Of
the organization committee, to con-
cur in the legislative report OF Sec
retary Lawson, which provided that
labor's forces in the next legislature
concentrate on one measure-a state
workmen's compensation act.
