Dry Law, but Will Fight
Jersey Federation Delegates
Condemn Amendment and
Demand Repeal

NEWARK, N. j., March 16.-Threats
of general labor strike in New Jer-
sey if prohibition Is enforced on July
were termed "ridiculous" to-day at
meeting Of 400 delegates of the State
Federation Of Labor and the United
Building Trades in the Coliseum here.
While denying their intention of going
on strike, the convention nevertheless
adopted resolutions condemning the
prohibition amendment and calling for
it's repeal.
"A general strike against prohibition
by laboring men on July would make
us look ridiculous" said Henry L. Hill
fers. secretary Of the federation "A
general strike always means disrup-
tion Of labor. We must express our
protests by other means"
Mayor Charles =. Gillen. Of Newark,
and Commissioners John r. Monahan
and Thomas l.. Raymond spoke against
prohibition In general and against the
ban Oh beer particularly.
Tho convention expressed itself as
"unalterably opposed TO the ratification
by tho New Jersey Legislature Of the
"As law-abidIng Americans" IL says
In this resolution, 1--WE must obey tho
laws~-no matter how obnoxious. We
condemn the methods used and tho un-
fair advantage taken by having it rat-
fed while the nation was at war and
contrary in some instances to the wishes

deity Before War; Glove
Match" Was Childless

AMSTERDAM, March is. = Eitel
Friedrich, second son of the former
German Emperor, has commenced
divorce proceedings against his wife
charging infidelity before the war, &C
cording to the "Kleine Journal" of
Berlin. The paper adds that when
the former prince attempted to begin
proceedings before the war his father
vetoed the plan.
Prince Wilhelm Eitel Friedrich and
denburg have no children. They were
married in Berlin February 28, 1906
The marriage at that time was regard
ed as a love match.
Eitel Friedrich met his wife at the
marriage of the Grown Prince in 1906
The prince at that time had the repu-
tation of being a model of Teutonic
masculine beauty.
The prince was popular with the
German people rs boy and was af-
fectionately called "Fritz." When he
was ten years old he was named a
lieutenant in the First Regiment of the
Foot Guards. He received his edu-
cation at Bonn.
1t is said that the princess who is
of retiring disposition, was greatly
troubled by her childless marriage
There was story current in Euro
pean diplomatic and society circles, in
December 1918, that she had left he,
husband and was on her way to Paris
Gossips have insinuated that the prince
had aroused his wife's antpthy by be.

During tho war there was some talk
that in event OF a German victory he
was to be made King Of Hungary.

armisticc was signed that the prince
attempted to end his life. Two days
later he got into an alteration with
a member Of the RcichstaG because the
latter refused to call him "your roya

firms were unable to get their pay
ments tabulated on time. They were
allowed to make tentative returns, and
were given extensions of time ranging
from few days up to month and q
half.
"The largest part Of the income tax
has. therefore, not yet reached u.s."
said an official at the Custom House
"Corporations which put in tentative
returns for 100000, may find that
They will have to pay this sum. with
6 per cent interest from March Is to
the time Of payment"
Most of the small tax payments, it
was said, were made in full, while the
large firms and the individuals making
heavy returns availed themselves gem
orally Of the privilege of paying one
quarter of the entire tax at present.
The new system of instalment pay
ments complicated tabulation Of the
results and estimates of the entire re-
ceipts.
Former Record Surpassed
"Even with these reservations, the
amount taken in SO far exceeds the
entire sum received through the last
tax, in the middle of 1918," said a
revenue official at the Custom House.
An unofficial estimate yesterday was
that the uptown Office, at 1850 Broad
way, the headquarters of Collector
Mark Eisner, eventually would turn
over $400,000,000 to the Federal govern
ment in income taxes.
Collector Bertram Gardner, Of Brook
lyn, would give no figures yesterday,
but said 10000 returns had been re-
ceived, or 10000 more than last year.
