FORM TRUCK CORPORATION.
Twenty-Seven Companies in New
York Organize to Relieve Traffic.

NEW YORK, January 12.-Forma-
ton of the United States Trucking
Corporation, embodying twenty-seven
trucking companies in Greater New
York, which employ 100000 men and
represent capital of several million
dollars. is announced here. Interests
of virtually every trucking company
in New York are embraced in the new
organization, it was stated, the merger
being an effort to relieve the city's
traffic and expedite delivery of mer-
chandise.
BY a system of depots it is planned
to abolish the return of empty trucks
from points to which they were sent
loaded with goods. This method, it is
said, will do away with a large num-
Der of trucks that hamper traffic in
congested sections.

The Part Housing Plays.

The Nations Business: Housing,
proper housing, plays "a far greater
part in labor contentment, in health,
in production and in general welfare
than is appreciated.
Manufacturers who are wise know
that clean, sanitary, cheerful shops
make for good workmen and good
workmanship. 1t is the boast of the
Miller Lock company that its shop
is more attractive and more pleasant
than any home in which its workers
live. 1t boasts, too, that it's example
of cheerful shop has led to more
cheerful homes.
One OF the big steel companies
went through the recent great strike
period in the steel industry without
one of it's force leaving it's plants or
without threat OF strike. The men
employed by that company have
model homes, built by the company
and rented or sold on fair and hon
est basis. The head of that company
employs perhaps 10000 men and has
twenty-three Municipalities represented
in his works. He pays more attention
to the human elements. to housing,
welfare, protective lines. recreation,
helpfulness and man building than
to steel making. He can employ ex-
perts to look after the manufacturing
end of his business, and he does. He
has prospered greatly.

bringing the delegates to order.
At this juncture the New Yorf
delegation filed into their seats.
1t was headed by Senator Wads

Lodge then announced that Score

will show a gain on the first ballot .
He refused to explain or ampl1fy his
statement.
The delegates still milled about IN
the aisles, while Lodge stood beside
Gleason, gaveling with rythm beats
and crescendo. Quiet was finally re-
stored.
Gleason's announcement was

:INCOME TAX
HINTS GIVEN
information for Guidance Of Tax
Payers for Payment Of Second
lnstalIment Given by Col
Iector Louis Murphy.

The following information for the
guidance of taxpayers in payment OF
the second installment of their In
come tax for the year 1919 is given
out by the Collector Of Internal Reve'
nue. Louis Murphy, Dubuque. Iowa
Bills for the second lnstallment OF
the income tax for 1919, due on or De
fore June 18th, have been mailed 10
taxpayers. Unlike those of last year
the bills are nondetachable and are
expected to be returned intact, &C
companied by check or money order
Payment in this manner is partlcu
tlarly desirable. 1t helps the tax
payer by saving him trip TO inc
,office of the collector or brancn
office, and it helps the government by
avoiding congestion at the cashier
window during the last few days pre-
ceding the date Of payment. BESIDES
a check is a receipt.
Failure of a taxpayer to receive
bill does not relieve him of his obli
CATION to pay his tax within the time
specified. To avoid penalty and IN
terest the tax must be in the office
Of the collector or branch office on
or before June 18th.
Checks or money orGer should be
made payable to collector OF internal
revenue.

CHICAGO, June 1.-THE Coliseum

Last night the Blackstone hotel
took over the job and the first bar

The Bankers association will prob

The movement was inaugurated by
