(From Our Special Correspondent
Washington Aug. 6.-Not only is
there almost united opposition among
the Republican members Of the House
Ways and Means Committee to the
tax revision plan proposed by Seclc-
tary of the Treasury Melon, but Re-
publican leaders generally. are out
spoken against 1t. Men like Chair
man Fordney of the Ways and Means
Committee and Republican Floor
leader Mondcl seem to be determin-
ed to cut the tax bill Of the nation,
whether or no, taking chance that
revenues will balance expenditures
and providing the difference by Z
loan, if necessary. Democrats are
laughing up their sleeves at the diem
ma which the Republican leaders find
themselves confronted with on ac-
count of the attitude of Secretary
Melon and they will make the most
os the situation by the time the next
election for members Of the House
rolls around.
Revision of Schedule
Fordncy and Mondell are acting
on the theory that with less to spend
the government will spend less in
order to avoid a loan. The more
money available, they claim, the more
the government heads will spend.
FOrdncy is insisting upon Il revision
of the tax schedules downward. T..
will not accept the scheme of Secrc-
tary Mellon for revision some taxes
downward and making up for them
by the imposition Of new taxes which
Fordncy believes are too general in
their application to be popular.
Mellon says the Treasury, in max
ing estimates, cannot take into ac-
count 'paper-savings or hoped for
reductions in expenditures" fordney
says these hoped-for reductions must
be taken into account.
The Treasury head is opposed to
Financing the government by loans in
the event of Il revenue shortage and
would use any surplus revenue for
refunding operations. FOrdney be-
licvcs that loan is not necessarily
All tNI, anu - .iSSiIllSI t'''a 'N''''' ~
refunding operations at this time.
Secretary Mellon estimates in
creased receipts from the new tariff
law at only $150,000,0O0 year. Ford
ney believes that the excess will be
at least $300,000.000 year and pos
sibly more.
A total of $2l7OOO,OOO 4 year
would be raised by Secretary Mellon
from three new taxes, those proposed
on automobiles, bank checks and in
creased postage. Fordney IS strongly
opposed to the tax on bank checks
and the increased postage and would
approve the automobile tax only as
last resort.
1t would seem, therefore, that these
differences will be a difficult matter
to adjust when it comes to whipping
into shape the tax revision bill that
is to be brought into the House. As
the situation looks at this writing,
there does not appear t. be any pos,
sibility that Secretary Mellon will be
able to convince the Ways and Means
Committee that his plan IS the right
one and the one that should be writ
ten into the statute books.

Urbana. ILL.,, Dec. 2s.-There seems

Illinois here by Drs. Charlotte Il.

Coins of the lower denominations

report. 1T has often been stated that
money is a very dangerous article of
commerce since it is handled by all
sorts of persons and because it usual

to another. 1t has also been sta-Ga
that cashiers and others whose voca-

in larger quantities than the average

to disease but this does not seem to
be the case.
1T seems that the very metals from
which the coins are made act to de-
stroy the bacteria which reach the
coins. In the study only the more

ing bacteria, were found. This indi.
Gates that money need not be feared

These findings, however, do no,

Strike Situation Is
Grave In Mining Valley
Near Calgary, Alberta

Calgary, Alta? Dec. .27.-Christmas.
this year, did not bring peace and
goodwill to the mining camps Of
Drumheller Valley, northeast Of Cal
gary. 1t brewed only trouble and
misery, open revolt and almost blood
shed. and developed a situation thai
gives rise to the fear of very serious
developments in the next few days.
Two men are under arrest, n OF
them a prominent official Of the Unit
ed Mine Workers of America, district
IS; more than 800 men are on strike
and rrthe miners in general close to
open revolt as a. result of the devel-
opnaents over Christmas. -.
The whole trouble is said to have
arisen from the action of the man
agement Of the Collie Mines, al Drum
heller, who have put into effect a rs
per cen reduction in wages Of their
men, notwithstanding that the agree
ment between. the operators and
miners of District IS does not expire
until March, it Is stated. One hun
dred and fifty men Immediately went
on strike.
Saturday, the mine was picketed,
and officials of the U. NJ. w. of A.
went to the scene from Calgary to
effect a settlement, if possible, and
protest against the wage reduction.
The mine officials, it ia claimed, re-
fused to meet them, and instead had
warrants served for the arrest Of some
| ofhthe officials. AS a result. the pro-
| vincial police placed in custody Will
liam Ryan, vice president Of the Z.
i M. w. of A., District IS. The. warrant
| Ryan received charged him with tres
passing on the property Of the mine
company and intimidatine men going
to work, but the police state the
charge is that of melting to strike,
under the provisions of the Industrial
Disputes act. He was given bail in
$500.
Peter Roft, a picketer, was also ar.
rested, the warrant stating that ne
was charged with trespassing, but the
police say the charge is obstructing ar
officer in the discharge of his duty.
The minefs' of the valley, at mass
meeting Christmas night passed
| resolution condemning William
Marsh, ]. p for appointment OF
three special constables. all Of whom
they claimed. had interests in the
mine concerned. 1t was also stated
that of the constables drew a CUR
and fired two shots. but the police dis
claim any knowledge of this.
The men of the Monarch mine
numbering 175, went on strike Mon.
day. The Western Canada Coal Or.
orators association declares that the
intention of. its members is to live uE
to the. present agreement. Neither OF
the mines%affected arc members of.the

Drumheller valley has always beer
a turbulent quarter with respect tc
miners disputes. During the wal
open warfare almost broke out on one
occasion.

Tremendous Flow OF
Water Struck By Well
Drillers In Montana

Hanover, Mont, Dec. u.s.
When drillers at the Montana
Pacific we'll here were busy at
work about II O'Clock at night
they suddenly heard q great
rumbling sound and then foll0w-
cd q gush of water that shot up
over the 60 foot mast, coming
from a ten-inGh case and flood
ing the ground for rods around.
When tho first big rush sub
sided It was found that 4,2OO
pounds of tools which might have
sunk into the hole were being
held up by the immense force Of
the water. When the tools were
removed the water broke forth
with renewed force.
Charles Perry, who has the
Contract for drilling the we'll, was
Immediately notified at Lewiston,
and when he arrived a deep fur
row was plowed to conduct the
water down the hill.
Work on the well has been
necessarily suspended and it is
doubtful TINT the flow can be
brought under control. Without
castings to carry it the water
shoots about eight feet into the
air.
The tremendous flow was
struck at q depth OF $50 feet.
