(By Associated Press)
VIENNA, Nov. 25.-The new direct
taxes of various kinds which have
just gone into effect make a hotel bill
look like a tariff schedule. The price
of rooms was raised when the taxes
took effect. Then there is a 20 per
cent tax on room rent. A little heat
is turned on morning and evening at
so crowns day and to this is added
a municipal tax of 10 per cent and
another 10 per cent is affixed to dining
room bills.
A curious feature OF the restaurant
tax is that apparently it is applied
only to the four or i've big hotels and
restaurants frequented by foreigners.

"The discourtesy and intolerance
was all the more glarIng because Gov
e.nor Allen was present and scheduled
as the next speaker.
Had Governor Allen risen to the
occasion he would have accepted the
discourtesy of the chamber as for
tunate opportunity to deal a lesson in
tolerance. He would have refused to
discuss the plan itself before group

strongly defended Mr. WolPs right to

that the date is too far ahead every

The speaker said that industrial
autocracy in this country has destroy
ed the ancient American philosophy
of equal opportunity, and that indus

this is recognized and the present
theory and practice are abandoned in
favor of a return to old methods
To illustrate how this will come
about the speaker declared that not
so many years ago it was the pop
ular belief that only few men were
equipped to run the politics of this
country. He said the same view has
been held toward industry, but it is
rapidly giving way to belief that
labor also can conduct industry.

NON-PARTISANSHIP
Favored BY Georgia State
Federation of Labor

Savannah, Ga.-The trade union
theory of political non partisanship
was indorsed at the annual convention
of the Georgia State Federation Of
Labor The unionists also declared in
favor of the Rochdale system of co.
operation. Under this plan goods are
sold at the prevailing market price
and at stated periods all earnings
over the stores fixed charges are re
turned to members on the basis Of
their purchases.
The convention indorsed workmen's
compensation and anti-injunction leg
islation, and denounced the anti-trade
union policy of Atlanta employers,
who are camoufaging cheap-labor
efforts as the "open" shop. These en-
ployers, it was declared, cherish the
dream that they may destroy the trade
union movement thereby reducing
workers again to the level of the serf
and compel them to ply their trade
under the lash of so-called independ-
ence and individuality"
The convention gave notice to these
antagonists that every resource at
our command, though it take the roof
from over our heads, will be throwa
into the breach to prevent the break
ing down of the hopes, aims and as
pirations of organized labor

Melody on Photograph
Draws Woman From Death

OXFORD, N. Y.-Drawn back from
the borderland of eternity by the
haunting strains of a melody she
loved, Mrs. Fred Tracey, 40, woke
last week from a sleep that had last

record reused her where the human
voice had failed. She is the mother
Of 10 children.
Retiring for the night on the
evening of October, Mrs. Tracey
had never risen from her bed. Eff
forts to waken her were futile. Her
eyes were closed her senses ap-
parently paralyzed. She breathed
but family. Her pulse Gibbs
strengthened with the hours, some
times seeming to stop.
Dr. A. r. Morse, the family ply
stefan, was called within twenty
four hours. He recognized the
symptoms of the rare disease. He
could not rouse her, but fed her
through a silver tube. She lost
weight steadily.
A monograph was placed at her
bedside last night and a llilting jabby
tune with no particular merit started
With the first few bars the patient
stirred. Her muscles twitched; her
hands opened and closed and she ap-
peared to be trying to sit up. The
machine played on and presently in
faint whisper she spoke.
