Greeks Rout
Turk Force:
Loot Large

Athens, Mar. 2S.-Afriun Kara
hissar, an important railway juno
tion south of Eski Shehr, has been
taken by Greek forces from the
Turkish nationalists, a dispatch to
the newspaper Nea Elias says.
Many prisoners and large quanti-
ties of war materials have been
captured, the dispatch declares,
and the Turks are fleeing toward
Kiutayah, about fifty miles north
ward.
An official statement giving de-
tails of Saturdays fighting says
that the army east of Mmyrna pur
sued the Turks to within approxi-
mately four miles of Afium Kara
hissar, where the attack halted tor
the night. 1t is said the Greek
losses have been insignificant.
The Greeks, east of Brusa, have
advanced to north Of Sughut. The
statement seems to indicate that
the Turks are entrenching them
selves before this important city
of Eski-Shehr.

Bond Value
IsTaxable
Supreme Court Holds
Corporate Bonds
May Be Taxed To
Extent of Increase

Washington, Mar. 2S..-Increase
in the value of corporate bonds,
originally acquired and held for
investment, is taxable under the
revenue act of 1916, the supreme
court ruled today.
The supreme court reversed the
decision of federal courts of Con-
necticut which held against the
government on the question of
whether an income tax could be
levied against an increase in the
value of securities purchased and
held as an investment, but ruled
that the tax could only be im-
posed on the actual gain.
Thousands of cases of income
assessments come within this de-
cision of the court, Upon which de-
pended the necessity of the gov
ernment refunding millions of dol
lars in taxes.

Recall Not
Favored By
Frank Miller

That recalling the present
state public service commission
for rendering a decision for the
raise in rates of the Pacific tele-
phone company will not relieve
the situation was the outstanding
statement in the speech of Frank
j. Miller of Albany, and one time
member of public service COM
mission, delivered before the
business men of Salem at their
luncheon held in the Commercial
club this noon.
THE proper procedure is to
make application for a rehearing.
The public has this right under
the state statute. If the commits
sion is recalled you will still have
to go to the court for relief from
their order of raising the rates"
'If the commission does not
grant a rehearing on the evidence
that you present that the raise is
uhI gOu nave llS COul 10
to appeal to, and if that fails you
can use the recall"
Mr.. Miller, stated that where
the commission had erred was in
the fact that it had allowed the
telephone company to raise It's
rates higher than the so per cent
increase in some cases and an
average 27 per cent increase
throughout the state, than its ap-
plication had asked for. The
speaker said that in some cases
the raise had been as high as 200
per cent.
Mr.. Miller also stated that the
elective system for the public
service commission was not, in his
opinion the best method, for the
public was unable to choose men
with administrative ability, and
who were not elected on any
particular platform.

Appeal FiledBy
Unions Last Fall
IsDenied Today
Plea of Short Line Workers Dismissed by Fed
eral Labor Board; Decision Not Effective on
Roads Which Accepted Notional Award,
Where Present Scale Stands

Chicago March 28.-The United States Labor Board to-
day dismissed appeals for increased wages filed with last
fall by fifteen railway labor unions against sxyseven
"short lines throughout the country.
Short lines which accepted for their the terms of the
$600000O00 award of last July will not be privileged to
go back the old SCALE under todays action however, the
announcement of the board saying:
Capital journal. (Salem, Or.) 1919-1980, 1921-03-28

This decision shall not be con-
sidered as affecting any wage in
crease now in effect nor any agree
ment regarding wages between
any of the carriers and their en-
ployes."
1000 Workers Affected.
Approximately 1000 employees
on sixty-esev railroads are at
fected by the boards decision. All
the roads are short lines, IL some
cases operating for only few
miles.
Representatives OF fifteen sm-
ployes organizations are among
the 1000 men affected, In a few
cases employees belonging to all
fifteen unions are involved on the
same road but on the larger part
OF the roads only few classics of
employees come under the decision
for the reason that the boards de-
cision affects only those In wdAse
behalf a dispute was brought To
the board.
Electrics Ruled Out.
Disputes were originally corti-
fled to the board on the part Of
employees belonging to one or more
of the fifteen unions on 103 rail-
roads. Ten of these roads, how
ever, were electric lines and tho
board ruled these lines out. Twen-
ty-six other lines adopted the wage
schedules protected by the trunk
lines, laid down In what is known
as decision number 2, the wage
award by' the United States rail-
road laor board of July 20, 1870.
The trunk lines in decision num-
Der 2 were those represented by
the Association of Railway Execu-
tives.

Following the application of de-
cision number employees on roads
not affected to file disputes with
the board and the whole matter
was taken up in hearing known
as the short line hearing October
1S, 1920. The hearing consumed
fourteen days over period OF
more than a month. The short
lines are not parties to the present
rules and working conditions hear
ings and in event they do not ac-
cept the boards decision on rules.
a separate hearing on rules for
short lines will also be necessary.
Present Scales Vary.
Various scales OF wages have
been in effect on the sixty-seven
roads. Some carriers paid the
standard scale established by the
United States railroad administers
tion. Others paid approximately
the same rates as those paid on the
trunk lines in the same territory.
The labor organizations include
virtually all those from operators
to common labor.
The railroads concerned are
mostly in the east. The western
roas include:
Butter, Anaconda & Pacific rail-
way, Pacific coast railroad, spo-
kane International railroad, and
Wood River branch railroad.
