SUES TO ENJOIN
TAX COLLECTOR
Complaint Alleges Simmons
Property Valuation Un-
justly Raised.

Leo Simmons, owner Of the premises
at I'm wyoming avenue northwest.
filed a petition for an injunction
against the District of Columbia and
Ben L. Prince, collector of taxes yes
terday to prevent the property from
being sold until the court can pass
upon the alleged claim Of the tax
Office against the property.
Mr.. Simmons states that his prop
erty was first assessed at SIS, 900. AZ
forwards, it Is stated. the property
was assessed at $4,000 Since 1910. he
declares, the assessment has always
been fixed at 5000 until the year 1917.
On May q. 1918. Mr.. Simmons AYERS,
his property was again assessed. this
time at $4,000. He then called upon
the tax assessor, Mr.. W. p. Richards
he states. who promised to investigate
the matter
$4,000 Valuation too High.
Mr.. Simmons was recently advised.
he says, that a new assessment figure
was placed on his property, that OF
s35, 600. figure he thinks unjust in light
Of the original assessment of $4,000.
The plaintiff contends that the Board
of Assessors. through Mr.. Richards.
has no legal right to make a change
in the figures. He states that he has
offered to pay his taxes, taking the
original assessment as a basis.
However, Mr.. Simmons declares the
District government advertised his
property for sale by reason of his al
legged default in the payment of taxes
of the amount of sS5S70 an amount
which he claims is s22sOs in excess
of what It should be.

MISTAKE TO CUT WAGES NOW
President Of EmpIoyers' Association
Urges Attention Be Given to Re-
ducton of Unit Costs.

At the annual meeting Of the VIII
mington (Del.) Employers associa-
tion, @. D. Garretson, president, said
that he believed a reduction in wages
of employees at this time would be
great mistake, claiming more attention
should be given to the reduction Of
unit costs by making labor more eff
f1cient. He said the drones and shift
less workmen must be eliminated that
we may have our business structure
on an economical, sound basis to go
ahead in the future.
J. Philip Bird, general manager of
the National Manufacturers associa-
ton of America, urged the co-opera-
tion of employee and employer, citing
the instance in his own state, New
Jersey, where the two work hand in
hand and where every labor bill before
being presented to the state legisla-
ture is acted upon by joint confer
ence of employers and employees.
The bills thus presented have always
passed unanimously. The speaker
stated this is the only method to be
pursued to avoid conflicts between the
employer and employee.

STAND OF ORGANIZED LABOR
Spokesman Of Illinois State Fedora
tIon Announces Its Opposition
to Any Wage Reduction.

John 81. Walker Of the Illinois State
Federation Of Labor issued this state
ment as to the attitude of labor re-
garding wage reductions:
"Organized labor will oppose Wig
orously any attempt to reduce wages,
whether by public utility corporations
or by private enterprise.
For years the workers were denied
what they considered fair share of
the fruits Of their industry. Due to
the greatly increased cost Of living in
war times, wages In most instances
were increased.
'"The higher wages thus procured
must be maintained and employers
should adjust their business accord
ingly.
'T do not know whether rates
charged by public utility companies
are adequate, but If found inadequate
after investigation rates should be
Increased sufficiently to guarantee
against wage reductions"
