WINNIPEG STRIKE
BELIEVED BROKEN
one-third Of Workers in SYM
pathetic Walkout Return
to Duties

Winnipeg, June 10.-(By A. P.)-
The sympathetic strike of Winnipeg
iron workers, which began on May Is,
was considered broken today, so far as
its effect upon the safety, welfare and
convenience of the general public is
concerned. 1t was estimated that about
one third of the men and women in :
yolved in the sympathetic walkout have
returned to work, and that many others
have applied for their former positions
Reorganization of the Winnipeg police
force was begun today, the city having
discharged late yesterday all policemen
who refused to sign an oath not to join
a sympathetic strike hereafter. Mean
while protection was being furnished by
several hundred special constables re
cruited from returned soldiers.
At stormy meeting of the city coun
ell which lasted until after midnight
$3.50, 900 was appropriated to pay for
the special police force.
Today, the eighth of the strike found
Vancouver life nearly normal, except
for the badly crippled condition of the
water front activities. Loading and
discharging Of deep sea carriers, how
ever, Is proceeding under handiesps.

MUNIT|ON PROFIT TAX
WINS IN APPEAL COURT
Judge Burlington Writes Opin,
ion Against Makers Of.
Parts for Shells

The governments wartime tax on
profits of munition makers, including
producers of parts of shells. is upheld
in decision by tho United States Cir
cult Court of Appeals.
Manufacturers of shell parts con
tested the tax. asserting it could amply
only to the profits from completed shells.
The tax was levied under the act of
September 8, 1916.
Worth Brothers Company. Coates
vile, which had been producing steel
billets for shells, sued to recover taxes
from Collector of Internal Revenue
Lederer of this district. The suit was
heard by Judge J. Whitaker Thompson.
Judge Thompson upheld the Govern
ment tax in his decision, and his verdict
is now affirmed.
The appellate decisions. three in nun
ber, were written by Judge Burlington
and concurred in by Judges Wooley and
liaight. Two of the cases were brought
by the Carbon Steel Company and
Worth Brothers. and the third was en- =
tered by the Forged Steel Wheel Com :
pany.
The governments tax on muntion
profits is 12l. per cent upon the entire
profits actually received or accrued from
the sale or disposition of such articles
(munitionsl manufactured within the
United States" and is levied in add =
ton TO the income tax.
The three decisions sustain a govern
ment policy involving many millions of
dollars in revenue already collected or
in course of collection. An opposite
decision by the court would have made
necessary legislation to make up tho
resulting deficit in federal receipts.

IT EVEN COSTS MORE TO DIE
Funerals go Per Cent More Than
Before War--It PAYS to Live

A present day funeral costs 60 per
cent more than the cost of similar
function two years ago.
This announcement was made last
night after regular meeting of the
Philadelphia Association of Funeral Di-
rectors, which was held at the Adelpbia
Hotel. George Chandler Paul presided
and c. w. Naulty acted as secretary
of the meeting.
Labor difficulties. according to Mr..
Naulty, caused all the cemeteries to in
crease the cost of opening graves. There
has been no increase in the prices of
funerals since the influenza epidemic
and it is believed that as soon as the
business can be restored to normal con
ditions lower prices will prevail.
The inability of funeral directors 70
obtain horse drawn carriages for fu
ncrals and the increasing cost of motor
transportation is another factor in the
increased cost of funerals.

SAN DIEGO PLAN /
SECUTED AS TRIVIAL
Ford's Lawyer Asks Court to
Exclude Mexican conspir-
acy Story
REPORTERS CLOSE CALL
By the Associated Press

Mt. Clemens, Mich, June 10.-Al-
fred Lucking. attorney for Henry Ford
in the trial of the latter's 81 ,000, 900
libel suit against the Chicago Tribune,
today entered an objection to the in
PRODUCTION of the "plan of San Diego"
offered in evidence by the defendant at
yesterdays proceedings. This "plan of
San Diego" it appeared from the tes-
timony of several picturesque witnesses
in the form of rangers, deputy sheriffs
and others from the Mexican border,
contemplated q conspiracy of empire
which involved the capture by Mexicans
of the states of Texas, New Mexico,
Arizona and the southern part of Cali
fornia.
Lucking told the court this alleged
plan apparently existed only in the
head of one Mexican, Bacilio Ramas,
from whom it was captured. Ramas,
the attorney contended, SO far as the
evidence showed, had gained no follow
ing in his ambition to invade and cap
ture the border states and the evidence
should be excluded as trivial. Judge
Tucker took the matter under advise
mept.
John r. Harold, of Brownsville.
Tex, who translated Ramas's "plan OF
San Diego was cross examined and
excused. ~F.
Norman Walker, Associated Press
correspondent at Ell Paso, Tex, testi-
fed he had been personally acquainted
with many Mexican leaders. These in
cluded General Porfirio Diaz, Francisco
]. Madero. General Pascual Orozco,
Francisco villa. General Giusippe Carl
baldi. General Victoriano Huerta. Gen
eral Felix Diaz. Francisco de la Barra,
provisional president of Mexico follow
ing Diaz: General Felipe Angeles, Gem
cral Venustena Carranza and others.
Walker told his personal experiences
when captured by Mexican soldiers op-
posite FL Paso. Tex, in 1911, and
Of having been ordered executed as
spy by the commander of the guard.
He said he had been across the bridge
into Mexican territory In expectation
of battle between federal and rebel
troops and had been arrested by the
fcderals. who then debated whether to
shoot him on the spot or to take him
before the commanding general at
Juarez. The latter course was adopted.
