INSPECTORS BEGIN
CHILD LABOR WORK
Federal Activities Resumed
Today Under Provision for
Levying Tax.
ON PROFITS

Federal supervision of child labor
abolished when the Supreme Court
Of the United States last year de-
clared unconstitutional the existing
child labor law, was re-established to-
day under regulations issued by the
internal revenue bureau putting into
erect the new revenue acts tax on
child labor products.
The regulation interprets various
provisions of the law. which levies a
tax of 10 per cent on net profits OF
any concern employing children un-
der the specified ages.
After April 25, when the new act
becomes fully effective. the tax will be
assessed on the profits Of any mine
or quarry in which children under
sixteen years OF age are employed &c. or
tory in which children under four
teen years are employed ut any time
of the year.
Canning Clubs Exempt.
Boys and Girls canning clubs
recognized by the Department OF
Agriculture are exempted.
A child labor tax division. with
force of inspectors. will be organized
in the internal revenue bureau to ad-
minister the new law.
while it is the purpose of the bu-
reau of internal revenue strictly TO
enforce the law said an announce
ment today, "its aim is to administer
it's provisions in q way to cause as
little Inconvenience as possible to the
business world and to offer no 1n1us-
tice to employees. 1t is the intention
to accept in confirmation Of the age
Of the child, with certain restrictions
as to revocation and suspension, the
age certificate, working or employment
certificate or permit, or other similar
permit issued under the laws Of the
state.
In some states where adequate
laws do not exist this will not be
feasible.
These states are probably North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia.
Mississippi and Texas.
THE plan is that federal agents are
to visit the localities in such states
where establishments employ child
labor and issue the certificates in per-
son."
First Taxable Period.
The law provides that in none of
the industries within the scope of the
law children within the age limits
may work more than eight hours
day or more than six days week. or
before am. or after pm. without
assessment of the tax. The first tax
able period is between April 20 and
December 81. this year, and the first
return need not be made until March
/, next year.
For corporations operating on a
fiscal year different from the calendar
year the return must be made on the
first day of the third month following
the close Of the fiscal year.

ASSOCIATION AGAINST
CAR FARE ZONE PLAN

Residents Of Capitol Heights. near
Chesapeake Junction, met in the town
hall last night and organized the
Capitol Heights Citizens' Association.
The first thing the association did
was to take up the proposal to estab-
lish zone systems for the Washington
Railway and Electric Company to col
lect additional fares on long rides.
John Gabriel, mayor of the heights,
explained today that the residents
would not oppose straight increase
to or cents for a through ride
from the city to their homes II it is
found that the company needs hnan-
cial relief. They are opposed. he
said, to the zone system, which would
require a second fare after passing
certain point.
Announcement was made last night
nomination for mayor for the next
term. There are no other candidates,
and. for a few days, some citizens of
the heights feared no one would run
for the Office.
Mr.. Gabriers second term will ex-
pire May Is, and the election will be
held on May 5. William McGinnes was
nominated last night for a third term
as town treasurer. Candidates also
four vacancies which will occur in the
city council next month.
Plans have been started by the citi-
zens of Capitol Heights for a liberty
loan rally to- be held the night Of
May !. In addition to speaking, the
committee will endeavor to have the
Boy Scout Band of the District play.

With Judge Linn presiding, the

dict rendered in favor of the defend
ant The case was one wherein the
plaintiff sought to recover $500 which
he alleges he turned over TO Clyde

ASSISTANT
FARM MAN
FOR GRADY
Owens Is Advised that A. and
M. Graduate to Be Here by
February 1 to Be Held
With Farm Work.

Action recently taken by the u.
S. department of agriculture awards
Grady county an assistant farm
agent, J. w. owens, county agent,
declared yesterday afternoon.
"This action was taken" said a
member Of the farm bureau yester-
day afternoon after the condition
here had been thoroughly investigat-
ed by representative of the federal
department Of agriculture.
Fully realizing the vitality and
needs Of the farm agents office,
Grady county was awarded an as
sistant agent at the exepense of the
government The territory here is
too extensive for Mr. owens to suf-
ficiently and satisfactorily cover
it," he asserted.
Mr. Owens has just received the
following letter from w. A. Conner,
of Saltwater, district agricultural
agent who recommended an assist
ant county agent for Grady county:
Il am glad to say that we have
found you an assistant agent who
viii be available just as soon as
we can get his appointment through
at Washington, which will probably
not be before February l. He will
probably be on the grounds a few
days before he assumes his posi-
tion and he has agreed to attend
the meeting to be held in Chick,
asha on January 2S
HE is e. B Hilderbrand, who
has just returned from the army.
He is a married man, about 25
years of age, a graduate of the A.
and M. college and is in good health
and especially full of pep" l am
confident that Mr.. Hilderbrand is
the man you want and will give you
very valuable assistance in your
work"
Mr.. Hilderbrand is to furnish his
own car, and is to receive his in
structions from the county agent. I
might suggest, however, that it
would probably be a more sstisfac-
tory arrangement for a certain part
of the work, such as club work, to
be assigned him so that he could
be responsible for that particular
work and give a little freedom in
the promotion of his own ideas in
regard to that work. The rest of
the time will be spent in such way
that would seem best to you"

DON'T PAY
SALAR RlES
IN W. s. S.
Practice Is Discouraged by Di-
rector of War Savings; Way
Pointed to Encourage
Thrift in Employees.

Muskogee, Okla Jan. 21-The Ok
lahoma War Savings committee is
in receipt OF copy Of the following
wire sent by Harold Bradlock, di-
rector Of savings division, Washing
ton, D. c., to John 7. Wayland, di-
rector War Savings division, tenth
Federal Reserve district:
Payment OF salary or wages in
part Thrift Stamps or War Savings
Stamps is not approved by the treas
ury department. While those in
charge are selling stamps and will
do everything possible to encourage
individuals to be a free will action
on the part of the individual because
he is convinced of it's benefit TO him,
The treasury officials point out that
where employers have paid their
help in part in Thrift Stamps, many
Of the workers regarded it as an ac-
tual reduction in wages, still others,
although they wished the stamps,
nevertheless regarded payment Of
wages in other than money as an un-
warranted interference with their
rights and the wages sccale. Others,
resenting the practice, did not save
the stamps and simply resold them,
SO that no lesson of thrift was
taught and the government was not
benefited.
"The treasury department is rec
ommending to employers that the
best method of teaching thrift and in
ducing their employees to buy is to
make stamps readily accessible for
purchase at their work on pay days.
The many concerns where the sales
Of War Savings Stamps have been
large and regular, supplies Of
stamps have been furnished to the
foreman or others who at lunch time
sold to them who wished to buy

QUESTION
Agricultural Committee of the
Chamber of Commerce Calls
General Meeting for City
Hall Thursday;

Pursuant to a call by Alger Mel
ton, chairman of the agricultural
committee of the Chickasha Cham
ber of Commerce, meeting will be
held Thursday afternoon at 1
o'clock at the city hall to discuss,
and if possible arrive at some solu-
ton of the cotton seed problem in
this community whicE ]. w. Owens
county agricultural agent declares
to be acute.
In ealing the meeting, Mr. Mel
ton points out that the question to
be handled is of vital Importance to
the business men and farmers Of
this community, and is urging all
bankers, seed men, gin and cotton
oil men, business men, farmers and
others interested to be present
promptly at / O'Clock Thursday
afternoon.
In speaking of the meeting and
the need for cooperation with re-
gard to the cotton seed problem, j.
W. Owens, county agent said,
There is no cotton seed in this sec
tion of Grady county. The supply
of desirable or useful seed is only
conspicuous by it's absence. There
is only one thing at this time to
consider: 1t is that if the business
men, bankers, farmers and cotton
oil men, in short if this section of
Grady county wants to raise a cot
ton crop next year it is imperative
that some seed be arranged for at
once.
Just who handles this seed or
what method is used in procuring it,
does not matter. If the bankers
want to handle the seed and dis
tribute it, that's all right. If the
cotton oil men want to handle it,
that's all right. If the seed men
want to handle it, that's all right
The point is that it is absolutely
necessary that the seed is gotten
into the hands of the farmers and
that the arrangements for placing
it there be made definite, final and
understood by all.
1--WE would like to make this a
countrywide movement.
Rush Springs was in bad shape
for cotton seed. They haven't, how
ever, named a committee that
handles the seed for that section.
Rush Springs was in bad way,
but Chickasha is in worse shape. 1t
cannot be repeated too often that
the territory surrounding Chickasha
is absolutely without cotton seed
and must have it.
"The meeting Thursday afternoon,
called by Mr., Melton is to solve
the problem. There has been
great deal of interest shown in this
matter recently and just one con
certed effort should be sufficient to
put it over"

War Council Meets.

(By VIM. Philliop Simms, Staff Corr
Paris, Jan. 21The lpreme war
council, the. steering committee Of
the peace conference, again took up
the Russian problem today.
Representative of Great Britain,
Italy, the United States, France and
Japan resumed the hearings in Quai
Dorsay on the subject of representa-
tion and possible recognition of vari-
Gus factions now controlling Russia.
Scavenius, former Danish ,mbas-
sador to Petrograd and one of the
last diplomats to leave was heard.
1t was believed that under the cir
cumstances, his testimony would be
a close parallel to that of Joseph
Moulens, French ambassador to Rus
STA who appeared yesterday
His letters and statements were
not made public but shortly after his
return from Archangel, he gave out
an interview, declaring that any
form of recognition for the bolshe-
wiki was impossible.
The date for the resumption of the
full peace conference was not set
this morning
