back strong at the Lotos Club bouts in

while Warren clinched at every OPP

put on. But the manufacturers have
been so busy making athletic equip
ment for the soldiers and sailors
they hadn't time to pay attention to
us kids.
Athletic Goods a Necessity
We've got to stand the tax this
| spring. Gee-think of paying SO
cents for q 50-cent glove and 80
cents fora quarter ball. But in June
| congress meets again and when they
start changing that tax schedule we
want the congressman to remember
that there is q big difference between
sporting goods and athletic goods.
Sporting goods are a luxury and can
| afford to stand a tax, but athletic
goods are a necessity, Uncle Sam says
so himself.
The sixteen makers OF sporting
| goods in the United States sell about
s12, 000, 900 worth every yea and the
10 per cent. tax would be $1,200,0O0.
This year the army and navy bill will
| buy almost half of what is made, so
Uncle Sam will pay that much of the
J tax back to himself. But a dollar to
a kid is bigger than a million dol
lars to Uncle Sam.
You know what the Boston kids
said to Gen. Gage when he butted
in and tried to stop their games on
the Commons? Well, these congress-
men and senators who taxed us ought
to hear the same thing. At least
that's the way I feel about 1t.

per cent. -.
teams in the United States and this
! tax is going to put us or the bum for
fair. Congress pulled an awful boner.
1t thought 1t was taxing rich sports
men and the major league ball clubs
who could afford it. Instead of that
It soaked us kids who have a hard
time scraping UP money to get balls
anyhow.
The professional baseball clubs in
the United States don't buy the goods.
All of them together buy less than
one-half Of l per cent. of what is
made, and they get cheap prices be-
cause they advertise the stuff. Kids
under eighteen buy more than GO per
cent. Of what the manufacturers turn
out and 1t is us they soaked hard.
Tax En- Who Can Pay 1t
IT is all right for q guy that can
pay a hundred dollars for a gun or
five hundred for a motor boat or fifty
for a fishing rod to be taxed good
and plenty. That's what 1 call sport
ing goods. But congress ought to
take the tax off what I call athletic
goods-the stuff we kids use. Uncle
Sam is trying to encourage athletics
and urging the kids to go n for
games, and then congress takes u rap
at us. It amt fair.
The tax is going to put a lot or
kid teams out of business. II the
fellows who manufacture athletic
goods had been alive and told the
senators and congressman what is
what the tax never would have been

Omaha street carmen feel they
have made progress in their con-
troversy with the company before
the Federal War Labor board.
Following the two days session
before joint Chairmen Taft and
Manly of the war labor board, the
executive committee of the street
car employees union met at the
Labor Temple yesterday morning,
and during the afternoon and eve
ming held a continuous session with
the employees.
Union leaders did not commit
themselves on what steps they would
take in case they were not success
full in their negotiations with the
company between now and February
h when the contract with the war
labor board expires. They feel con-
hdent, however, that the differences
can be adjusted.
j May Bargain Collectively.
T. P. Reynolds, president of the
State Federation of Labor, attended
the meeting. and when asked his
opinion Of the war labor board de-
eision handed down by Taft and
Manly said: "The real victory for
the union is the right of the or
ganization through chosen commit
tees of the organization to bargain
collectively with their employers
The two points in the decision of
Joint Chairmen Taft and Manly
which the men considered most
favorable to them were:
THE rules of this board require
that no obstacle or interference
should be offered by the company
to the organization of men in the
unions, or the afiliation of the local
union with the national union"
Also the part of the decision which
said:

of the men in their union and Or

tiveness of the employer, many

HOT FIGHTING ON,
RUSSIAN FRONT
Americans, 0utnumbered al
Kadish Nearly Three to
One, Have Fought Five
Days in Extreme Cold.

Arcl,angei, Jan. 4.-Fighting in
the village of Kadish, which was re-
captured by the American forces
December so, is continuing. The
American artillery has moved up
slightly and is almost continually
shelling the enemy. There have
been numerous outpost encounters
in the trick woods bordering on the
Petrograd road.
The bolshevik force outnumbers
the Americans nearly three to one
and is seeking to outflank them, but
the American soldiers though tired
after five days and nights of fight
ing activity in the extreme cold, are
bearing up splendidly. The battle
is largely question of endurance
in the Arctic weather.
Now and then in the course of
the fighting the Americans encounter
hidden machine gun positions in the
woods along the road. One of these
held out for five hours until the
Americans, advancing step by step
or crawling in the snow, succeeded
in thanking it.
Dark at 3 p. m.
There is some respite with dark
ness, which descends at o'clock in
the afternoon, but the shelling at
night is making serious the matter
of the transport OF munitions and
provisions along the high road IN
sleighs or on mems backs through
the forest. The Russian peasant
drivers of these sleighs, stricken
with fear, in some instances, turned
and bolted, only to be forced to
proceed by American soldiers.
The American trench mortars are
doing splendid work. On the
Vologda railway front the bolshe-
wiki shelling continues. American
patrols are encountering the enemy
in the Omega sector, where it is
considered probable that the Ameri-
can forces may withdraw from the
exposed positions to one of the
captured villages.
