that the administration was consid-
ering mandatory control Of the

board in citing union heads and

interpreted here as showing that
the board had received assurances
from Washington that its supervis-

by the recent developments.
Although definite decision
against Invocation Of wartime
powers was reported today, no
doubt was expressed in official quar-
ters that adequate authority was
existant and could be employed
should the period Of negotiation
serve fruitless.
Discussion Of the use Of war

Party Split on
Tax Measure
Eleven Republicans Vote With
Democrats to Defeat For
eign Trade Item

Washington, Oct 20.-After a
two days fight, the senate voted
today, 6 to so, to strike from the
tax revision bill house provisions
defining foreign traders and for
eign trade corporations, which,
under other sections Of the meas
ure yet to be acted upon, would be
exempted from taxation on income
received from sources outside OF
the United States.
Eleven Republicans joined the
solid Democratic minority in de-
feating the provisions, which were
originally proposed by the treas
ury department anc vigorously de-
Tended by members of the senate
finance committee in charge OF the
bill. The Republicans were: Borah
of Idaho, .Capper of Kansas. Cum
MINIS of Iowa, Harreld of Okla
hon.a, Kenyon Of Iowa, La Follet-
te and Lenroot of Wisconsin, Mo-
ses of New Hampshire, Nelson of
Minnesota Townsend of Michigan
and Willis of Ohio.
Senator La Toilette led the fight
against the provisions and was sup
ported by Senator Simmons of
North Carolina. Hitchcock Of Ne
braska and other Democrats, and
by Senator Townsend. Committee
members contended that the eX-
emptions proposed were necessary
in order that American firms COM
pete in foreign markets on an equal
footing with foreign concerns, but
Senator La Toilette and other op-
ponents centended that such eX-
were not granted by 9TH
er countries.
Senators Hitchcock and Sim
mons argued that the effect of the
proposals would be to have COM
panies organized to take over for
eign trade and foreign banking
business in such way as to escape
taxation on the vast bulk of their
business done abroad. Senator
Simmons said he was afraid that
the bill was loaded up with ad-
amendments which,
when we get'to the bottom of them,
Will show that they afford undue
and unjust exemptions.

i'm Pack
ing Industry
Meat Cutters and Butchers
Union Vote in Favor of
Walk Out

Chicago, Oct. 81 (Ry the Asso-
ciated Press) s).-Completion of the
strike vote in the packing industry
taken by the Amalgamated Meat
Cutters and Butcher Workmen
was announced here today by c. j.
Hays, president. He said the poll
stood 35,354 yes and 3,490 no.
A conference of executive Off
GERS and representatives Of allied
crafts will be held here next week,
Mr.. Hays said. A strike Of packing
house employees at the John Nor
reel company plant at Ottumwa,
Iowa, which began this week, il
was the most important strike in
the industry since the war. He
reports ] 600 men out.
This was the second time within
a few months that the members Of
the butcher workers union have
voted to strike Last summer plans
for a walkout virtually We're COM
plete when Secretary Of Labor Da-
Wis called representatives Of the
packers and of the employees into
joint conference at Washington,
where the differences We're settled
amicably, the packers agreeing to
extend the Alschuler war time
agreement through which FEEDER
al Judge Alschulre arbitrated pack
ing industrial differences another
six months and the men accept
ing wage cut. The extension Of
this agreement recently expired.
No formal comment from represen-
tatives of the packing interests was
forthcoming tonight. The attitude
Of little fear of the consequences
of the strike ballot was expressed
by representative OF one of the
big five" concerns. He said that
the ballot was not even represen-
tative Of the employees in the IN
dustry and that the total Of 3S.-
S84 votes announced by Mr.. Hays
was only small minority Of all
the workers.

that the strike would not go into
effect.
Snort talks were also heard from

Harrison Lauds
Jackson
Describes General as Soldier
Saint of the Confederacy''

Charlottesville, Va, Oct. IA
bronze statue of Gen. Thomas j.
(StonewalD Jackson, the gift of
Paul Goodloe Mcintyre. was un-
yelled here today with Senator Pat
Harrison, Of Mississippi, as the
principal speaker. The memorial
stands in a park in the heart of
the city adjacent to the court
house.
A great tribute to the Confeder-
ate leader was paid by Senator
Harrison. Among all the distin-
guished Virginians who have added
luster to America none impressed
the country more with the great
ness of his military genius and no
name enthuses Virginians more
than that Of Stonewall Jackson"
the Mississippi senator declared.
General Jackson was also de-
vout Christian, Senator Harrison
said He was the soldier saint Of
the Confederacy," he continued.
He read his Bible with the same
studious attention with which he
analyzed the plans of an Alexand-
er or the maneuvers Of a Napoleon
He never entered a battle without
first offering prayer to the Heav-
enly Father. and the old negro at
tendant, when asked when the
general expected to make another
attack, simply said:
I think tomorrow, cause he's
praying tonight.
The statue is the work of the
sculptor Charles Keck, of New
York. who was also the sculptor
of the Lewis and Clark group
which stands in Midway Park and
also the gift of Mr. Mcintyre to
Charlott esville.
The bottom base of the statue is
of pink granite and the upper Sec
ton of old rose Westerly granite.
Upon the pedestal is imposed
the figure Of Jackson on his war
morse, Little Sorrel" The genere
al. in full Confederate uniform is
leaning forward on the horse with
stern action and energetic purpose
pictured in his face and figure.

Washington, Oct. 21.-Use by

strike, while suggested in some
quarters, will not be exercised. it

reached. No indication was given,
however, as to what course would

the government may have had

war powers was not necessary,

Republican Call
Reserve Forces
G. O. P. Senators Trying to
Lower Tax Rates on Large
Incomes

Washington. Oct. 21.-Thc long
threatened fight over the income

new revenue law broke today IN
the senate, but, despite slZeable
opposition, Republican leaders eX-
pressed confidence that the COM
promise plant, embodying q maxi
mum rate Of SO per cent. would be
adopted, probably before adjourn
ment tomorrow evening.
Meantime, as result of tie de-
feat yesterday OF the proposal to
exempt from taxation incomes of
foreign traders and foreign trade
corporations received from sources
outside of the United States, the
majority leaders sent out hurry
call to absent Republican senator's
to return to Washington. The call,
which was in the form of a letter
signed by Senator Lodge Of Mas
sachusetts, chairman Of the Re-
publican conference, and Senator
Curtis, of Kansas, vice chairman
and Republican whip, said:
1--WE regret to inform you that
there were nineteen Republican
senators absent from the senate on
yesterday when there were i'm
portant amendments to be voted
upon. We hope you will arrange
your affairs so as to be in attend
ance, at the daily sessions Of the
senate as the amendments to the
revenue bill are very important,
and every Republican should be
present so that this measure may
be acted upon as soon as possible
The absence of Republican SEN
ators was commented upon in the
senate by Chairman Penrose, of
the finance committee, in charge of
the revenue bill.
"Questions Of paramount import
ance are being disposed of here,
while Republicans are absent and
Indifferent, he said. Il want to
call the attention Of the country
to it. It will meet with comment
and condemnation"
Senator Hitchcock, Democrat, of
Nebraska, called attention that
eleven Republicans joined with the
Democrats in defeating the COM
mittee amendment yesterday, while
Senator Simmons, Democrat, of
North Carolina, said only sixteen
Republicans were absent and not
voting, while twelve Democrats
also were absent and not voting.
While defeated in the first skirm
ish over amendments explained as
designated to aid American con-
Germs in competing with foreign
rivals for overseas trade, Senator
Penrose said today an effort would
be made later to get a provision
in the bill to protect those con-
Germs.
Only a few senators desiring to
discuss the income SurtaX rates got
the opportunity today before the
senate recessed. Senator Simmons
told the senate that since the COM
prom :se amendment was very SIM
liar to one he had offered, he would
not offer any objection to its adop
ton. Other Democrats, however,
opened a fight on the. compromise,
Senator Hitchcock proposing an
amendment under which the rates
on incomes in excess Of 100000
would be the same as those in
existing law. Senator Jnoes, a
Democrat Of New Mexico, con-
tended that if rates were to be
lowered on incomes they also
should be lowered on incomes be-
low $1,000.
