AMERICAN DODGERS
OF INCOME TAXES
CHILD EXPLORERS

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, May IL.
American corporations are COM
ing to Porto Rico to escape the
United States income tax, declared
Santiago Iglesias, A. f. of l.. organ
izer and member of the Porto Rican
senate, before a representative dele
CATION of United States congress
men who are investigating island
conditions.
Iglesias showed that under the
Porto Rican law these corporations
will pay so and &c per cent less
than they would have to in the
United States, and that if the cor
porations were not permitted to es-
cape this taxation, and were forced
to pay their just dues into the
island treasury, schools could be
built.
The trade unionist stated that in
the last five years progress in the
schools has stopped.
"In five years we have lost in
our schools $4,000 children" he
said. 'In 1904, when our imports
and exports were $4,000, 1000, we
sent $4,000 children to our
schools. In 1916, when. our i'm
ports and exports exceeded $137,,
100000, we had only 100000 chill
dren in the schools, loss of 5000
What argument can defend a con
dition wherein our country has in
creased its richness three times
while we are losing in schools, il
sanitation, in roads and in all those
things that are needed by the PEG
pie of Potro Rico? Absentee cap
italists is the biggest thing we have
to contend with in our economic
problem.

followed a non-union poicy by

"The case grew out Of local

legged that they were damaged by
reason Of the strike and that the Of

to prevent the operation Of their

coal in interstate commerce. A de-
murrer was sustained to this com
plant by the Federal Judge of the
District Court. An appeal was made

that Court held that the complaint

GEN. BURLES0N
BREAKS OWN RULE

WASHINGTON, May 17.--Post-
master General Burleson has brok-
en- one of his own rules and braz-
emily ignored the civil service reg
ulations when he appointed Will
liam f. Gibbons, of Scranton, Pa,
assistant postmaster in that city,
declares Thomas F. Flaherty, Secre-
tary-Treasurer of the National Fed
Grafton of Postal Employees.
Secretary Flaherty says that for
30 months Gibbons has been car
ried on the Scranton postoffice pay
loll and during that time he has
been in Washington acting as Sec
rotary of an association Of post
office clerks. In this capacity he
Upheld the Burleson policies and
in a stcllthy way he spread the
word throughout the service that
Mr.. Burleson was opposed to the
clerks joining the A. f. Of L"
Gibbons refused to join with other
postal employees organizations in
a request to the Postmaster General
for official recognition of the Post
al Unions.
Now" says Secretary Flaherty,
as a reward for this support the
Postmaster General, in violation OF
the service regulation, has given
Gibbons a life job at SECS a
year"
The trade unionist then takes the
case of Edward j. Gainor, Presi
dent of the National Association O
Letter Carriers, who was refused {
leave of absence to permit him tC
attend to duties connected with The
organization. The Postmaster
General refused on the ground tina
he had issued contrary orders. Al
appeal by President Gompers in be
half of Gainor was fruitless anC
the letter carrier was compelled t.
resign from the postoffice depart
ment.

SAYS IT'S AGAINST
TRADE ETHICS
The Boycott of Cooperation in
Tampa, Florida

The boycott Of the cooperative
stores organized by the Cuban CT
garmakers. of Tampa, Fla, (Which
began some months ago on the part
of the wholesalers and which SEEM
ed on the point of being permanent
" adjusted when the Co-operators
presented their case to the Board
of Governors of the local Chamber
of Commerce. has now broken out
afrosh. according to the Tampa
Tribune Of April 3. But this time
the sufferer is wholesale mer-
chant, who is being boycotted by
the bankers and jobbers, because he
did sell to the co-operatives.
The culprit is Jose Guerra, whole
saler of Nbor City. Last January
he sold goods to two cooperative
stores and was told by the local
food administrator, Hafford Jones,
that he must take back the goods
and discontinue selling to the CO.
operatives, because the latter had
no licenses. Guerra took the mat
ter ND with Federal Food Admin
istrator Beacham, going to Orlando
for that purpose, and was assured
that he might go on selling to the
co-operatives, whether they had re-
tailers' licenses or lot.
"Hafford Jones is now saying,
says Mr.. Guerra, that banks and
brokers are not going to recognize
wholesalers who sell to the CO.
co-operatives, and Bonacler Bros.
are refusing to sell to me now.
sold a lot of Quaker Oats Company
products to the co-operatives, to be
delivered through Bonacker Bros
who are the local agents of the
Quaker Oats people. They refused
to deliver. and when | took the
matter up with the Quaker Oats
Company at headquarters, | was
told that nothing could be done
and they refused to do any more
business with me. If ! am unable
to obtain the goods | need from the
iobbers, | think l shall bring suit
and | believe that Massari ant
Franquez will come in with me, a:
they are suffering from the same
conditions"
Leaving Mr.. Guerra, the Tribune
reporter looked up Hafford Jones
the former local food administrator
apparently an active local trader
and influential among local retail
ers. Mr.. Jones said it was true
that a boycott was being directed
against certain wholesalers, but il
was because they were selling di-
rectly to consumers, which is
against trade ethics And a CO
operative store, naturally, cannot
obtain status as retailer.

MINERS TO FIGHT
CORONADO CASE
Cor Labor Papers.)

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE
United Mine Workers Of America
will appeal to the United States
Supreme Court in the suit brought
against the miners by the Corona
do coal Company, in which a de-
cision has just been rendered by
the United States Circuit Court af-
firming the decision of the United
States District Court at Fort Smith,
Arkansas.
The original verdict against the
miners in this suit was for dam
ages Of 100000, which, when
trebled under the law, amounted to
$60O,oOo.
Determination Of the miners to
appeal was announced by William
Green, Secretary of the United Mine
Workers, who is in New York to
attend a meeting of the Executive
Council of the American Fedora
tion Of Labor.
Secretary Green's statement fol-
lows:
The United States Circuit Court
has decided against the United
Mine Workers by affirming the de-
cision rendered against the organ
ization in the Coronado Coal Com
pany case by District Federal Court
at Fort Smith, Arkansas.
"Officers of the United Mine
Workers have instructed their at
torueys to appeal this case to the
United States Supreme Court. They
advise us they have forty days in
which to perfect an appeal.
I'VE propose to fight this case to
the end and through the court of
last resort.
This decision affects the exist
ence of every labor organization in
America. The issue involved is so
vital that decision must be
sought from the highest court to
which we can appeal. Everything
will be done that can be dom to
win this case"
The history of the Coronado Coal
Company's suit against the United
Mine Workers of America is told in
detail in the report of the Execu-
tive Council to the American Fed
Grafton of Labor Convention in ST.
Paul. Dealing with that suit the
Executive Council of the Fedora
ton said:

BUYING CHEAPER
THAN Is RENTING

Figures compiled by the Depart
ment of Labor show advantages of
Purchasing a home, rather than
renting it:
One million dollars will be loan
ed to build 500 homes for working
men, which they may buy at fair
prices on the installment plan, ac-
cording to a report to the Informa-
ton and Education Service from
the chairman of a government COM
mittee in a Niles (Mich.) factory.
The Service, taking this as prac-
teal example, has prepared figures
showing the relative costs of ten
antry and home owning.
Applying the entire capital to
the building of these homes and
the purchase of the land the fair
cost to each purchaser would be
about S2,1O0; and the amount pay
able in 10 years, assuming the an
nual payment to be $210. In the
report of it's finding it is stated that
EMPLOYERS are earnest in their de
sire for cooperation with the
unions. and among the conservative
labor leaders a similar spirit is
found. 1t is essential that this spir'
it be fostered in order to combat the
more turbulent element in the
unions, the Commission declares.

law this amount was automatically

The United Mine Workers offic-
crs appealed to the Federal Circuit
Court Of Appeals from the verdict
Of the District Court The Court
required an appeal bond amounting
to 100000. This requirement
was met, and it is the decision Of
this Court from which appeal is
