Says American
Badger a Hoax

London.-R. 1. Pocock, curator OF
mammals to the London Zoological
society, has discovered what he says
is great hoax upon the Americans
who for more than 400 years nave
believed they had badgers on their
continent"
An American badger, brought here
to make an obstructive comparison,
was put in a cage with some Brltlsn
badgers. The British badgers slept
all day, the American badger all
night. DIR. Pocock investigated and
decided the American animal was
neither badger, skunk, stoat, nor
weasel. He said it's skull and teeth
were wrong" for a badger, it lack
ed the scent gland, and its resem-
blance to the badger was so super
ficial he considered it of a totally
different tribe"

Are Expected To
Reject Award

Shicago, July 10. = II reports
reaching railroad brotherhood lead
ers regarding the wage award to be
handed down tomorrow by the rail-
way labor board are correct the de-
cision will be unacceptable anV will
be rejected, union leaders declared
today.
One thousand general chairmen of
the sixteen recognized unions are
meeting behind closed doors to dis
cuss their future course. While none
will predict publicly that a general
strike is a possibility If the awhard
is unsatisfactory, they assert private
ly that trustworthy information
reaching them is that the award is
SO low it will not be accepted.
WHETHER the leaders can hold the
men long enough to submit the award
to referendum vote, as provised by
union rules, was discussed today.
Some leaders said they doubted
whether an immediate walkout, un-
authorized and uncalled, could be
ayerted IL the men are not SATISFIED
by the boards decision.
The call for today's session, Which
will be continued for several days
provides that the general chairman
can, if they wish, pass on the award
without submitting it to vote.
Both w. G. Lee and S. M. Heber-
ling, representing the two big switch
ing organizations, are said to be
among those bitterly opposed to the
award which they understand Is to
be handed down, but are working
with the others to prevent any hasty
action by their men.
"You know we are not bound to
accept the awards of the labor
board" said Mr.. Heberling today.
"The Esch- -Cummins bill does not
make the award compulsory and
neither the workers nor the roads
are forced to accept the rulings"
The Yakima Indians have decided
to send two of their best-looking young
women to the legislature at Olympia
next winter to lobby for bill cestor-
ing the ancient fishing rights Of the
Indians.

WORK TO INTERPRET
JOHNSON TAX LAW
CBy Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. Estate of
ficials, today began an investigation OF
the Johnson home rule tax bill passed
at the special session of the general
assembly to determine it's effect on
the levy for state highway funds.
In an opinion given the Hoosicr
Motor club by local law firm, the
Johnson bill takes from the state
board of tax commissioners it's auth
ority over the tax levy.
The act of the legislature establish
ing the highway commission fixed ii
levy of 10 cents on each 500 of tax
able property for the use of the COM
mission, but the state board, acting
under new tax law, fixed the high
way levy last year at 80 cents.
Tax officials estimate that the high
way commission would receive $4,000
900 increased revenue if it is decided
that the Johnson act takes from the
state tax commission its authority
over the highway levy, and restores
the 10 cent levy.
