company. The receiver was placed I'M
der bond of $4,000.
The receivc-ship follows efforts by
the bondholders' committee to obtain
relief from the Shipping Board on the
purchase Of vessels at more than 5000
a lightweight ton. The bondhoders as
serted that. under present conditions in
shipping, it vas impossible for the
company to earn enough to pay its

Church Report ON Steel
Strike Arraigns Press
Declares Pittsburgh Papers Par.
ticularly Caused Workers to
Form Erroneous Conclusions

The final supplementary report on
the steel strike of 1919, made by the
commission Of inquiry of the Inter
church World Movement, charges that
newspapers, particularly those Of
pittsburgh, handled reports of the
tle-up IN such way that the workers
felt the press was lending itself to
strike breaking activities.
The pulpit" the report says. "did
not as body exert any important in
fuencc on the strike, despite wide
spread sympathy for the strikera
among clergymen who found no means
to make their views effective"
The part Of the report devoted to
the press discusses four hundred is
sues of English language Pittsburgh
dailies appearing during the first two
months of the strike. 1t cites alleged
examples of misrepresentation of facts
and asserts that no Pittsburgh papers
"pretend to offer consistent and
thorough examination of the causes
of the strike
The report mentions advertisements
asking the strikers to return to work,
which were said by the commission to
constitute factor of Importance. be-
cause "they represent in cryssalized
form the misinformation concerning
the strike, which was persistenly cir
culated in the columns of Pittsburgh
papers and elsewhere"

~The Republicans,- he added. "have

for the enormous and very embarra SIS

different branches of the government"
Commencing the progress in legis-

more that the tax bill would pass the

More Tax Changes
After Bill Passes.
Pei1rose Suggests
System Must Be Simplifed at
Early Date, He Declares,
as Emergency Measure
May Only Last for Year
From The Tribune's Washington Bureou


WASHINGTON, Oct, A. Senator
Penrose, chairman of the Finance Com
mittee. taking cognizance to day of
criticisms of the pending tax bill,
made 1t plain that it will be necessary
for Congress at an early date to con-
slider further revenue revision. He re-
CARDS the measure which is about to be
passed as temporary and likely to last
only for another tax year, or at the
most only for brief period.
Senator Penrose says he is con-
vlnced that simplfcation of the tax
system is essential, and he intends to
have various sugges tions to this end
brought to the consideration of spe-
cial taxation committee or of the FL
nance Committee and Ways and Means
Committee Jointly.
While he insists he is open-minded
on the Smoot sales tax plan, it is we'll
known Mr. Penrose does not expect it
to become law He does not look for
it to pass the Senate and, in any event,
knows, it is said, that the opposition
IN the House is such that the measure
cannot prevail. House Leader Mondell,
Chairman Fordney of the Ways and
Means Committee, and other powerful
House leaders are openely against it,
st is important to remember" said
Senator Pcnrose. that this bill is to
meet an emergency and must be passed
speedily, and we can hardly avoid fol-
lowing meth DDS to which the people
are accustomed. 1t must not be for
gotten that in another tax year, or as
soon as possible, further revenue re-
vision ought to be enacted Mean
while the effort is being made to re-
duce certain taxes, like excess profits
taxes, which arc admitted to be in
furious to business and to work a
hardship, and to alleviate conditions
wherever possible, at the same time
securing revenue for the government.

revenue and methods Of taxation that
