The New York New Haven q Hart.
ford railroad has placed an order
with the international Motor Co., for
three model AC Mack rail cars which
will be used TO handle short haul pass.
enger traffic on branch lines. The
much greater economy OF operation
OF motor driven rail cars as compared
to conventional rail equipment prom.
ises to be the salvation OF branch
lines. many OF which have had TO dis
continue service or will soon be COM
PEELED to do so because the expense OF
operating steam equipment exceeds the
revenues obtainable for the service.
Smaller railroads have been using
motor equipment for some time with
such success that tho larger railroads
are now planning to use 1t on branch
lines.
Several Mack rail cars, using. for
the most part. components employed
in the Mack Alb model truck. have
been in use by some short line roads
for some months, but the cars ordered
by the New Haven will be much
larger and make a higher speed than
those now In use. They will seat
thirty-six as against thirty-one pass
engers and will, in addition. have a
baggage room six by feet at tho
rear. The engine and several other
parts are the same as are
used In the Mack AC truck. but the
leading four wheel truck. rear axle
and wheels and the high speed reverse
which permits OF oper-
alton in either direction at about the
same speed. are special.
The major specifications of the now
model AC rail car are as follows:

season, President Ban Johnson an
nounced tonight.
Mr.. Johnson, following a tour OF
the American league cities has COM
pleted arrangements for represent

vent a recurrence of the 1919 world
series scandal. They will be sta
toned in all the stands and will
have orders to take immediate
action when they notice anything
that seems suspicious,
In addition, each umpire will
analyze the games and anything
that seems out of place will be re-

here soon and the league president
then will instruct them.
II don't think there is a dis
honest player in the American

London, April 10 (by the Associ-

tension created by the coal strike
and the possibility of a general in
dustrial tie up, today gave the
cabinet ministers and labor leaders
opportunity for rest.
Opinion continues favorable,
but meanwhile all precautionary
measures and recruiting Of volun-
teers are proceeding and will not be
relaxed until the miners return.
These preparations formed a great
attraction for Londoners today.
Two Important Views.
Two important views were ap-
parent today. The first was the
confident belief among labor lead
ers that, now that an unfettered
conference is assured, many pump
ers will return to work. although
under the agreement they only are
required to abstain from molesting
volunteers. The second was that
the government, while opposed TO
subsidy, is willing for a limited
period, to afford some temporary
assistance. 1t also is believed that
the wage basis recently proposed
by the mine owners will be dis
carded and new basis formulated
for the miners consideration.
Herbert Smith, president. and
Frank Hodges, secretary of the
miners federation. addressed a
letter today to the organization,

GENERAL SALES
TAX ADVOCATED
BY UTAH SOLON
Senator Smoot Announces
He Will Introduce Such a
Bill in the Senate; Early
Action Planned.
tBy The Associated Press.) }

Washington, April 10.-A gen.
eral sales tax was advocated to-
night in a statement by Senator
Smoot, Utah. republican member
of the senate finance committee,
who announced ne would introduce
such q bill in the senate Tuesday.
The measure, which he estimates
would yield approximately $1,50o,-
100000 annually, would place a
flat tax of one per cent on gross
sales above $4,000 annually of viz
tually all commodities, both raw
materials and finished products.
The bill carries few exemptions,
but application would be stayed
practically only on such commodl-
ties as now bear a higher levy.
Early consideration is planned
by the senate finance committee
Distribute the Burden.
Mr.. Smoot said his proposed tax
would be simple in application and
easy to compute. He declared 1t
would properly distribute the bur
den of taxation, compelling each
citizen to bear share proportion
ate to his ability to pay as meas
ured by his buying or producing
powers.
IF the sales tax becomes a law
he continued, congress can repeal
not only the items provided for in
the bill but can repeal all of the
irritating, discriminatory taxes
amounting to hundreds Of millions
of dollars, and the excess profits
tax
Method One of Justice.
Taxes on soft drinks, tobacco, au-
tomobiles and some other so-called
luxuries would remain. These
commodities already bear taxes re-
garded as heavier than the one per
cent tax In addition to the tax
on sales, q levy having the same
application would be placed on
total amounts of all leases. The
senator contended that the sales
tax method was one of justice to
all. The actual added cost to the
consumer of one per cent tax added
at each turn of the goods would, he
predicted, fall below three per
cent.
The bill contemplates payment of
the whole tax, accumulated
through re-sales by the ultimate
consumer, the senator said, adding
that there was no objection to the
final seller absorbing the tax if he
cared to do so.

ton was passed at their meeting
Sunday morning to the effect that
if any member of the maChinists'
union took the place of one OF the
union firemen, he would be subject
to a fine of $3.50. Mr.. Patterson
explained that there was some un-
employment among the machinists
and that the resolution was merely
taken as precaution.

Carl G. Magee. editor Of the

for talk. He stated that he had
merely come to the meeting in
order to get the viewpoint of labor
in order that he might use it In

He stated that the Morning Jour

G. w. Austin expressed approval
of the conference idea, but said
that If he were fireman he would
not sacrifice the right to organize.
He would, however, guarantee the
city that it would not be exposed
