SALES TAX OPPOSED
 BY THE MAJORITY
SENATE COMMITTEE IS EXPECT. ED TO MAKE ADVERSE
 REPORT.

Washington.-After several days of hearings devoted chiefly to the sales tax the Senate Finance Committee will take up other phases of the reve- nue problem It is planned to con. tinue the hearings for two or possibly three weeks longer.
 Witnesses schedule to be heard in- clude c. c. Hanee of Indianapolis, chairman of the Taxation Committee of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce; c. H. Archibald liar ris, public accountant of Chicago; and F. E. Seidman of Grand Rapids, Mich.
 Representatives of several leading insurance companies will be present to urge the repeal of the present in- surance tax. The witnesses will in- clude Thomas w Blackburn of Oma- ha, and c. H. Boyer of Chicago.
 Although several witnesses have ap- peared in support of a sales tax the impression given at the hearings has been that a majority of the committee will not favor it. Senator Shoot of Utah is the one member who is ac- lively for turnover tax of 1 per cent Senator Watson of Indiana has shown an inclination toward a sales tax. No other Republican has indicat- ed by questions pronounced view in favor of a sales tax. Senator Pen- rose of Pennsylvania, the chairman, has appeared undecided with a proba- ble leaning against it. Most of the Democrats have seemed to be against the sales tax, some of them being in- clined to defend the excess profits tax
 That the majority of the committee will favor the repeal of the excess profits tax is unquestioned, although the representative of the American Farm Bureau urged it's retention. The | issue relative to the sales tax has de- veloped not so much on the question of whether it should be the substitute 1 for the excess profits tax as on the | question of whether it should be used to replace the miscellaneous excise tax as we'll as the excess profits tax.
 The excess profits tax, it has been estimated, will yield during the next fiscal year only s450O00,O00, while the miscellaneous excise taxes, which many organizations propose to repeal, will yield s900.00O,OO0 or more. The lowest estimate as to the yield of a 1 per cent turnover tax is $1 500. .000,- 900, some claiming it will yield $2, 000,000,000 or more.

TROOPS ASKED TO
 QUELL UPRISING
WAR IS RAGING IN WEST vlR GINA AND KENTUCKY HILL
 COUNTRY.

Williamson, W. Va.-Guerrilla war. fare, with all odds apparently favor ing the forces opposing the state, is being waged in the grim mountains of the strike-torn Mingo county coal field.
 Beginning at the little mining town of Merrimac, four miles up the Tug river from here, fusillade of shots was poured from the mountain side successively into Merrimae, Rawl, Sprigg and Matewan, W. Va, and McCarr, Ky.
 All available state police and depu- ty sherfffs centered in Williamson were rushed to the scene by train and automobile, but according to re- ports they have been unable to check the shooting.
 Harry c. Staton, state prohibition officer and merchant at Sprigg, was killed by a bullet from the mountains, and Noah Phillips and young man named Calvert, employees of the White Star Coal Company commissary at Merrimac, have been seriously wound ed. Rumors of other killings and woundings have been received at headquarters of the state police here, but at late hour had not been con- firmed
 A little handful of state police, about 20 in number, is reported work ing it's way over the mountains be- tween Merrimac and Rawl, seeking to get above and outfiank the hidden foe. This force is led by Capt J. R. Brockus, commander of the state po- lice in the Williamson district A score of deputy sheriffs under Chief Deputy John s. Hall, are cooperating with Captain Brockus and his men.
 This outbreak, the worst since the Matewan battle of last May 19, in which 10 persons were killed, had all the appearance of pre-arranged at tack. The towns visited with the hail of lead are within seven miles of each other, and lie in narrow valley on the banks of the Tug river, which here separate West Virginia from Ken. lucky. The firing came from the mountains on both sides of the river. The state police are powerless to cross the river into Kentucky, and are prohibited from returning the fire from the Kentucky mountains.

SECRETARY WEEKS LoATH TO DECLARE MARTIAL LAW IN
 THE HILLS.
MAY APPOINT U. s. MARsHALs
A Serious Aspect of Situation Attors ney General Dauaherty Sai0 Was the Interference of the
 Mails.

Washington.-Fede troops will not be used in the territory along the West Virginia-Kentucky border, where disturbances in the coal min ing sections have occurred, until the two states have exhausted their re. sources in coping with the situation. Decision to this effect was reached after Secretary Weeks had held sev- eral conferences and the subject had been discussed at the cabinet meet ing. It was communicated by Presi. dent Harding in a telegram to Gov ernor Morgan of West Virginia, who with Governor Morrow of Kentucky had requested federal troops.
 Secretary Weeks repeated that the federal government is not disposed to declare martial law in the disturbed district or to employ regular troops except as a last resort. Kentucky has state troops, he said, and although West Virginia has none she has, with Kentucky, large number of special officers on the scene. Moreover, he added, reports to the department in. dicate that the situation is much quieter.
 Attorney General Daugherty, who attended conferences with Secretary Weeks, said. however, that if the trouble continued to any great ex- tent the federal government will be justified in taking a hand While re- ports to his department showed that the situation was serious, he added, they gave only six or seven persons killed, much less than other reports. Those causing the trouble, he said, were not West Viriginians, but proh- ably professional agitators from Colo rado, Alabama and other states.
 A serious aspect of the situation, ehe attorney general said, was inter- ference of the mails through delay of trains. The Department of Jus. tiee, he said, has taken no steps and has no agents in the district, but the situation is being studied to deter mine course of action should the president decide to interfere without using federal troops. He suggested that United States marshals might be appointed In the trouble zone and a district court established in William son, w. Va, as a basis for federai operation.
