SHOPMEN TO TALK PRICES.
Mr.. Hines Tells Railroad Workers
He Hopes to Get Report,

Director General Hines conferred
yesterday afternoon with eight rep
resentatives of the railroad shop crafts
on renewal of the discussion of the
high cost of living. with special ref
erence to railroad wage increases.
The subject was first brought up last
summer. when the men agreed, on So
licitatiOn of the President, to wait
until the government had an oppor-
tunity to show what could be done to
control prices.
The men were told by Mr.. Hines
that he hoped in a few days to give
more definite advice on living COSTS
and further conference was agreed
on. Neither the union officials nor
the director general would add to the
brief announcement covering the con-
ference, but it was thought that At
torney General Palmer's forthcoming
report on what has been accomplished
in the campaign to reduce the cost of
living would have a part in the ne
gotiationS.

COHAN HEADS NEW UNION TO
 FIGHT EQUITY
800 Actors Organize Under Pledge Managers Will Give
 ill to All Demands.

New York, Aug. 23-More than 500 actors and actresses at a meeting in the Hotel Biltmore last night voted to form a new organization of stage folk to ''save the theatre from total ruin and restore harmony amongst the stagefolk and the managers
 George M. Conan was acclaimed as the leader of the new body, and he announced that he would resign immediately from the Producing Managers Association, never produce another play or assume another role in order to be free to devote his en- tire time to the establishment and development of the new organiza- ton.
 There was a strong current of opin- ion among the members, however, that Cohan's quitting the P. M A. might not be requisite to his success as mentor of the new organization, and committee was named to dis cuss with him this and other phases of the situation.
 The claim was made that 537 actors and actresses had already enrolled as members. Among them are David Warfleld, Blanche Bates, Olive Wynd- ham. Marie Cahill, Frances Starr, Henry Miller. Ralph Herz, Justine Johnston, Lola Fisher, Ina Claire, Car lotta Monterey, Eileen Huban, HoI- brook Binn. Joseph Ruben, Lester Lonergan, Amelia Bingham, George Barnum, Alan Dinehart, Willie Collier, Janet Beecher, Zelda Sears, Lenore Ulrich, Marjorie Wood and Arthur Ashley.
 At Actors Equity headquarters there was no visible alarm over possi- bilities of the new association making 1 serious inroads on the old one. Equity officials said the Cohan organization | could accomplish little while the union
 stage hands and musicians stood by the strikers. They were jubilant over having taken in s21, 900 in subscrip- lions during yesterday afternoons strike mass meeting in tho Lexington theatre
 The new organization will begin immediately to treat with the man. agers for the settlement of the strike.
 It will invite all the striking actors to join its ranks. assuring them of the compliance by the managers of | all their demands, except the recog- milton of the players union.

SAYS AIR MAIL
 PLAN HAS SAVED S17O,OOO YEARLY

Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. 23 - "The air mail service between New York and Washington and New York and Chicago has already saved the coun- try $170,0OO a year over the railway mail, and when the multi-motored airplanes are in operation there will be an annual saving of S1,5OO, O,0OO."
 Assistant Postmaster General Otto Praeger made that statement yes- terday before the Cleveland Cham Der of Commerce. which is holding an aviation week in celebration of the 100 days perfect mail service be- tween Cleveland and Chicago.
 During the 100 days,'' said MT. Praeger, "the Cleveland-Chicag di- vision has been in operation the mail ships have flown a total of 5000 miles and carried more than 3,000,- 900 letters. It has brought the East and Middle West closer together by 16 hours, and the Atlantic and Pa cific coasts by 24 hours.
 we have given you a demonstra- ton of what the aerial mail can do, and 1t rests with the people now to tell Congress what to do."
 MT. Praeger said air mail to Min neapolis, Omaha and St. Louis would be in operation by early spring, and would be established by multi-motor- ed airplanes carrying 5000 pounds of mall.

DELAYED TAXES
 TOTAL HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS
Review Shows Income and Excess Profits Returns
 Are Far Under Total.

Washington, Aug. 23.---A large in crease of the national revenues for the year 1917, amounting possibly to several hundreds of millions of dol lars, it was learned yesterday, will re- suit from a tedious review of the as sessment of the income and excess profits taxes as applied to persons and corporations engaged in the ex- ploitatfon of natural resources. This review has been in progress for more than IS months, and the fund thus se- cured will, it is said, go a long way toward offsetting the loss of income from the virtual disappearance of the distilled beverage taxes this year
 The application of the tax laws to concerns engaged in mining, oil pro- dUctng and numbering was so indefi- mite that the Commissioner of Inter nal Revenue realized early that not even an approximation of justice and uniformity could be attained if the interpretation of the law in individual cases was left to the ordinary field agents. Consequently a large corps of experts, chiefly engineers, practically was communicated into the revenue service and set to work on the com plex matter. The result of their la- bors practically has been a survey of
 
 that are privately owned.
 Pending the determination of the principles to apply and their applica- ttion in each case, the Collector of h. ternal Revenue has not pressed dis puted cases, of which there are thou sands. It is not charged that there has been any general guilty attempt to evade the law, but with such a wide zone of uncertainty taxpayers natur- ally gave themselves the best possible interpretation of it. Realizing that they might be right, matters have been allowed to drift. In the great majority of cases the corrected assess ment will be much larger than the original return indicated. In the case of one oil company alone the amount collected will be many millions more than the company returned.
 It is expected that from now on these delayed taxes will flow into the Treasury in steady volume and that there will be little difficulty in making collections, as the business organiza- ticns involved have generally set aside funds in contemplation of their 1 taxss ultimately turning out to be larger than anticipated
