The attendance Mt the gatherings this
week has been so large as to be EN-
barassing upon some occasions. Mr..
Camden said. 1t was the intention that
only the party workers come to the
meetings However, 1t was impossible
to keep the neighborhoods where the
workers were to assemble from finding
out what was going on and big crowd
always came whenever Lew Shank ap-
peared, the bureau chairman said In
some precincts where arrangements were
made to receive from fifteen to twenty
selected guests as many as seventy five
people appeared. he said.
Wherever these meetings have been
held their effect has been felt in in
creased registration activity. according
to Joseph L. Hogue, in charge of regis
tration. Mr. Hogue said that contrary to
the belief Of some people the Republicans
are not taking registrations only in parts
of wards where Nr. Shank is known to
be strong. He said the Republican
notaries have been instructed to register
any one who wants to be registered.
Were willing to take a chance with
the Democrats upon the doubtful votes, .
he said.

SOON BE FIXED
City Engineer Promises to
Have Work Completed

John L. Elliott, first assistant city
civil engineer, had some good word fol
motorists today. He said he expects
practically all bad railroad street cross
ings in the city to be repaired before
the Jewett administration ends next jan
uary.
Workmen OF the Big Four railroad are
repairing the Walnut street crossing over
the old Chicago division tracks, running
north and south along the canal. They
will move on to North street Monday. A
gang from the city street commissioner s
department IS working with the railroa
men repairing approaches to tho tracks
All crossings on this line as far north
as Thirtieth street will be put in good
shape, Mr.. Elliott said
The next big piece of such repair work
will be along the Cleveland division OF
the Big -Four north Of Washington street
the engineer said. With a few odd jobs
here and there the city will have been
covered then, he said.

WAGE QUESTION
MINE WORKERS
LEADING TOPIC
Pan-American Convention of
L. NJ. w. Meets Here
Tuesday.

With the gathering here Of the van
guard of the delegates to the interna-
tionaI convention Of the United Mine
Workers Of America, which opens In
Tomlinson hall next Tuesday, 1t has be-
come apparent that the discussion OF
wages will be one which will take up
large part Of the time Of the ccnyen-
tion.
The miners are to make new wage
agreements next spring and it is ex-
pected that the stand TO be taken will
be discussed at the convention, although
it IS possible that no definite wage pro-
gram will be announced. 1t is probable
that the miners viii oppose any reduc-
ton in wages although increases proba-
bly, will not be asked for.
The mine war IN West Virginia also
will probably nave a prominent part in
the discussion at the convention. The
miners probably win take some definite
stand on the situation there a well as
in mine troubles in other parts Of the
country.
Internal politics in the organization al
ready is evident and probably will be
come more so as the convention pro
crosses. Indications are that there Will
be the usual conflicts between what are
known as the radical and the conserva %
tive elements Of the organiza ton. The
conservative element is represented by
John l. Lewis international president
and the other international officers and
their friends, and the radical element by
such leaders as Alex Howat Of Kansas
and Frank Harrington of Illinois.
The convention will open Tuesday
morning with preliminary addresses by
Z II
Charles W. Jewett and local labor leaders.
The afternoon probably Will be taken
up with the annual report OF President
Lewis This report is expected to have
considerable bearing on. the future pro-
gram Of the convention. 1t Is expecJcd
that the convention viii last about tw o
weeks.

Dependents.

Special to Indiana Daily Times
and Philadelphia Public Ledger.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.-By the de
cision of the Senate Finance Committee
to reduce surfaces by $1S000,000 virtually
every one will enjoy a slight reduction
in the amount of their income tax under
the new revenue law, according 10 Sena-
tor Penrose, chairman of the committee.
The committee already has agreed 10 the
House decision increasing the cxemp-
lions for dependents from 5000 to $500
and the exemption for married men with
income of $1,000 or less from s2,19e to
$500 in the normal income tax.
Final changes in the schedule of sur
taxes were agreed upon by the Senate
Finance Committee in session lasting
into the night, during which further
minor and technical changes were made
in the revenue revision bill Although
announcing previously that the formal
voet on the measure was to have been
taken Friday, Senator Penrose said that
while the committee had practically
agreed" on the measure, it would not be
reported out until early next week.
COMMITTEE REVISES
SURTAX SCHEDULE.
After agreeing to the action Of the
House in abolishing brackets in the sur
taxes above 80 per cent, the committee
revised the lower brackets, reducing by
l per cent the sUrtaxes on incomes be-
tween 5000 and 500 1900; increasing by
per cent the surtaxes on incomes by
tween $4,000 and $4,000, and retaining
the present basis of taxation upon in
comes between S34, 900 and $66,000 On
incomes above $4,000 they agreed the
maximum of 80 per cent should apply.
The minimum taxable income is $4,000 in
stead of $1,000 by this change.
Under the present law surfaces mount
to more than go per cent On the higher
incomes. While the House abolished sur
taxes above 80 per cent, they decided to
retain the rates of taxation below that
point as at present. The revision agreed
upon by the Senate, according to Sen
ator Penrose is estimated to reduce the
revenue yield from this source by
SIS, OOO, 00C.
A comparative schedule, made public
by the committee demonstrates the
changes as follows:
