CLAIM FAVORS PROFITEER
[By The Associated Press. ]

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.-With
Democratic opposition pledged as the
result of party caucus last night,
general debate on the Republican
tax revision bill was continued in
the House today. The caucus
was the fourth held in an effort to
determine a program for the mi
nority, was attended by eighty of the
1872 Democrats in the House and the
vote for opposition was said to be
unanimous.
The Democratic line of attack was
indicated in a resolution adopted at
the caucus, which declared the
measure to be "subversive Of the
principle which should govern tax
alton for the support of this gov
ernment" and charged 1t relieved
profiteers and taxpayers of large in
comes from their just share of the
load of taxation and leaves an un-
fair portion to be borne by people
of M moderate means"
Representative Claude Kitchin,
Democratic leader, in a telegram
sent from his home at Scotland
Neck N. c., yesterday to Represen-
tative Garrett, of Tennessee, acting
minority leader, urging House Dem :
ocrats to oppose the bill, declared
tho repeal of the excess profit tax
and increase of the corporation tax
to twelve and a half per cent. meant
that the big "profiteering corpora
tions' would escape payment of half
a million dollars in taxes which would
fall upon the smaller corporations
of less incomes. He said 1t would
be a fatal mistake" for any MEM
ber of lis party to vote for the bill.

CASE PUT OFF
Two Federal Judges Sitting in
Trenton Today, Fix Sept.

MUNICIPALITIES BARRED
North Jersey Cities Make Ap-
pIication to Join With Pub
lie Utility Commission
MUNICIPALITIES BARRED


TRENTON. Aug. 1S.-When the
superintendent of the Public Service
Railway Company in the United
States district court to obtain a ten
cent fare was called before Judges
j. Warren Davis and John Rellstab b
today, l.. Edward Herman, counsel
for the Public Utility Commission,
moved to dismiss the order made by
Judge Rellstab August 8, requiring
the Public Utility Commission to
show cause why it's order limiting the
fare to seven cents and two cents per
transfer should not be set aside and
the ten cent fare allowed. Mr.. Herr
mann based his motion upon the al
legation that Judge Rellstab'S order
was improvidently granted in that
the allegations of public service COM
pany do not bring the action within
section 266 of federal judiciary act.
At the opening of the case former
Attorney General Robert II. McCar-
ter, counsel for the Public Service
asked the court. as Judge Woolley,
the third judge required to sit in the
case could not be present today, to
fix an early date for the argument.
Counsel for Bayonne, Jersey City,
Passaic, Paterson and Camden ask
ed that these cities be made parties
to the suit in order to defend their
vital interests in the matter. This
was opposed by McCarter upon the
ground that it would make the case
too cumbersome.
Judges Rellstab and Davis denied
the application of municipalities to
take pant in the Public Service case
as defendants. However, the judges
said that without prejudice they
would be given hearing before
Judge Woolley at a subsequent date
The two judges said they would be
glad to have counsel for municipal
tiles convey their ideas to the court
in briefs. The decision was based
upon similar opinions rendered in
the United States circuit court of ap-
peals.
The court also dismissed the appli-
cation of l.. Edward Hermann to
have the order vacated.
The main hearing for the case was
fixed for September 13 by Judges
Rcllstab and Woolley.
