HARDING SIDESTEPS ON DIS
ARMAMENT CONFERENCE
(By Federated Press)

Washington The confident an
nouncement of Samuel Gompers from
Atlantic City that labor would have
representation upon the American
delegation at the international dis
armament conference was not con-
firmed at Presidents Harding's last
weekly discussion with Washington
correspondents.
The president was categorically
asked whether labor was to be rep
resented. He replied, in diplomatic
persifage, that he cordially believed
it should be represented, but the ne
cessity for limiting the personnel of
the delegation made it impossible to
have all interests directly represented
by appointees. A strong implication
was left that organized labor will not
have a delegate at the conference.

Railroad Managers
Preparing For Strike
(By Federated Press)

Chicago - Railroad managers are
determined to be prepared should a
rail strike come about. Daily they
are sending squads of professional
and amateur strikebreakers to STRAIT
egic points on the various lines run
ming out of Chicago
Recruiting stations are in operation
on South State street, South Clark
street, Van Buren and Harrison
streets. Well known scouts for strike
breakers rowing this section are
Frank and Johnny Mosick, Morris
Delaney, known as the chief of the
scouts, and Carl Hoffman.
A pool room at Clark and Van
Buren streets and the Elk hotel and
a house at 608 South Federal street
are important recruiting places for
railroad "scabs" as we'll as for the
bakers strike.
The agencies collect $40 per day

Australia To Have
Daily Labor Papers
(By Federated Press)

Sydney, N. S. W.-Plans are we'll
advanced for the proposed scheme of
a chain of daily labor newspapers to
be published simultaneously through
out the various Australian states.
In an official announcement to the
unions the urgent necessity for start
ing the papers is recommended. Each
union is asked to assess each of it's
adult members to the amount of $3.50,
women and Juveniles $1.25 for the
purpose; such amount to be called up
and made available as soon as prac-
ticable.
1t is proposed that all the existing
labor papers in Australia be merged
into one company, and that central
bureau be established, charged with
the purchase and distribution Of all
paper, type and other printing sup
plies, and the receipt and distribution
of all cable, telegraphic and other in
formation necessary to and required
by the papers under control SO ANAL
gamated. The general management
of the labor papers will be vested in
board Of management, to be elected
by the share-holding unions.

WEALTHY DODGE TAXES

Washington-Agents of the inter
nal revenue bureau suspect that many
wealthy citizens are lodging income
taxes. 1t is stated that scores of these
patriots with incomes from 100000
up to $1,OOO,OOO a year paid less than
$4,000 to the government for the last
year of the war. Many of the returns
that are being investigated show a
remarkable increase in income in 1919
over 1918 not accounted for in the
tax returns.
1t is claimed that the tax dodgers
include 1000 prominent and supposed
ly wealthiest men in the United
States.
A sample instance mentioned is that
of an eminent business and profess
sional man-whose name is not dis
closed-who is now in a prominent
government position. He paid less
than $4,000 income tax in 1918, but
in 1919 acknowledged having an in
come in excess of $500,00O.

WOrkersLoseOut.
STEEL co. EMPLOYEES DENIED
MONEY ONCE AWARDED
Decision of Secretary of War Baker
is Reversed and Bethlehem Men
Lose $1,5OO,OOO
(By Federated Press)

Washington-Pay of $780,
600 due to $4,000 employees of the
Bethlehem Steel Company since July,
1918, when it was awarded to them
by the war labor board, has been
turned down by Assistant Secretary
of War Wainwright on legal tech
nicality although he admits the men
have "moral obligation"
The claim arose out of an award
by the war labor board of which Chief
Justice Taft then was chairman. The
award was ordered paid by Secretary
of War Baker but someone in the
Judge advocate generals office de-
layed the claim on one pretext or an
other until the change of administra-
ton. Then an opinion was handed
down that the claim could not be le-
gally paid and Secretary of War
Weeks reversed the order of his pre-
decessor.
Attorneys for the claimants pointed
out that there was no precedent IN
the annals of the war department
where one secretary had revoked the
order of his predecessor, but after
consulting with legal advisors OF the
war department, Assistant Secretary
Wainwright advised that mere tech
nicality prevented payment OF the
claims.
AS a result of the original award
of the war labor board the Bethlehem
Steel Company put in claims to the
government for several million dol
lars for increased costs on contracts.
The same Judge advocate generals
staff which declared against the labor
claimants decided that the award OF
the war labor board was normal
contract" and allowed the claims. Now
the men are unable to collect their
share of the award.
Thousands of the claimants are out
of work and many of them have run
grocery and butcher bills on the
strength of the payments which they
had been told they would get. The
award has been put off so many times
that many Of the men have assigned
their claims for small part of their
face value and left the district.
Payments of $8OO,OO0 to machinists
in the Twin Cities under an award of
the war labor board probably will be
adversely affected by the ruling in
the Bethlehem case.
Representatives of the Information
al Machinists Association have written
to Secretary Weeks asking for re-
hearing of the case. If Weeks does
not see fit to overrule the opinion of
his assistant, President Harding will
be asked to urge congress to pass
legislation validating the claims which
the war department admits are a
"moral obligation"

Sales Tax is Next
WILL LAW MAKERS OBEY CHAM
BER OF COMMERCE ORDER?
One Per Cent Tax is Slated Despite
. Protests of People-Excess Prof
its Tax to be Repealed
(By Federated Press)

Washington - Evidence multiplies
that administration leaders intend to
make the repeal of the excess proflts
tax and reduction of the higher IN
come surtaxes retroactive to January
1, 1921, and supply the $45OOOO,0OO
deficiency by imposing a sales tax
which will place disproportionately
heavy burden upon poor consumers.
Here is the evidence which points
to this conclusions:
The United States Chamber of Com
merce has just completed a referen-
dunn which resulted in an overwhelml
ing vote in favor of the sales tax.
Chairman Fordney of the house
ways and means committee has given
out an interview at Saginaw, Mich,
in which he declared the soldiers
bonus bill would be passed in Decem-
ber, and says that he favors l per
cent sales tax to raise the necessary
funds
President Harding has stated that
he resents the action of the Republl-
can house caucus in striking out the
retroactive feature of the repeal OF
the excess profits tax and will bring
pressure to bear on the senate to
have this restored.
The administration leaders original
ly intended to put over a sales tax.
The iniquities of the sales tax were
thoroughly exposed by a few cour-
ageous congressman in so convincing
manner that the house dared not
pass the act. But those who have
been following the tax legislation
have claimed all along that the senate
finance committee intended to incor-
porate a sales tax provision in the
amended bill. The above incidents,
which are too closely related to be
accidental, indicate that the plan is
to suddenly discover deficiency and
to jam through the sales tax under
the plea of emergency.
The admission of Smoot that the
house finance bill will fall half bill
lion dollars short of raising the need
ed governmental revenue is striking
confirmation of the charges made
week ago by Representative Oscar
Keller of Minnesota, Republican in
surgent, who voted against the meas
ure. Keller declared that taxes could
be decreased only by increasing the
public debt and predicted deficit of
$500, 100000 if the house bill passed
He denounced the so-called tax re-
ductions as purely illusory" and
charged that administration leaders
deliberately juggled figures" and
were guilty of "duplicity." Keller's
charges were secuted by his regular"
Republican colleagues, but the ad-
mission of Smoot substantiates his
assertions and pretty clearly indicates
the purpose of the administration to
admit the deficiency in the house bill
and to depend upon the senate to use
this as an excuse for adopting the
sales tax.

tentiary for a term of from one to
ten years, has been secretly paroled.
He was given his liberty in July, and

the association to assume the right

NEWARK, OHIO, FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER g. 1921
MORE RAILROAD GRAFT

The bill giving $500,000,00O to the
railroads, for no better reason than
that the railway managers asked for
it, has been approved by the House
of Representatives. When it came
from committee House leaders side
tracked mass of important legisla-
tion and gave it's exclusive attention
to a subject that at best will benefit
but a small group of citizens. No OPP
portunity was presented for a free
discussion of the merits of this colos-
sal raid upon the treasury, considera-
tion being confined to four hours.
The suggestion VISA made that it
be made a condition of this subsidy
that it shall be expended in part at
least, in repairing the railroads
motive power and for maintenance,
that the carriers may be in shape to
meet the nations transportation
needs when called upon to do so. This
proposal did not reach first base, how
ever, for the gentlemen who engineer
ed the deal knew that the managers
do not intend to make use of the gov
ernment's generosity for any such
purpose. The money is to aid specu-
lation, to give the bankers and other
insiders a new lease on riOtouS con-
tracts and CRAFTS.
Further the Senate has postponed
action on the bill until after recess,
which will put it off until the middle
of October, at the very earliest The
prospects are that it will not have
final action until after the first of the
year. That, of course, precludes the
possibility that the money that is to
be made available can be devoted to
any constructive program. What is
done to improve transportation con-
ditions and also the condition of mil
lions of workers must be done at
once. January will be too late to res
cue either the railroads or their en-
ployes.
Let this deal be understood for
what it is. 1t is a fragrant and de-
liberate misrepresentation of the pub
lies money, at time when the ma
tion is straining every financial re-
source to make ends meet. 1t takes
from the treasury a half billion dol
lars when treasury notes in reams
are being passed over to bankers. 1t
puts the government behind a small
interest at the sacrifice of all the rest
of the people.
Congressman will have right-sound-
ing fairy tales for the people back
home, but it will be proven again, as
it was shown when the full iniquity o.
the Cummins-Esch act was revealed,
that Congress, as now constituted, is
simply an adjunct to Wall street, re-
gistering it's will with such painful
regularity that there is danger ir-
reparable injury will be done before
the public has it's innings.
Congress has sacrificed the national
interest, turned it's back upon the
farmers and millions of unemployed
workers, has neglected everything
that it might consolidate it's attention
upon the railroad problem, which is
a problem only in the sense that GER
tain interests are seeking to gain
everything they covet without being
compelled to go to the length of
physically breaking into the nations
treasury.

BANKER TELLS OF IOWA'S
AUTOMOBILE VALUATION

l.. A. Andrew, of Ottuma, pres-
dent of Iowa's State Bankers Assoc
citation, has in mentioning money
shortage, which now to a certain ex-
tent, exists among the farmers, re-
ferred to the registration Of auto
mobiles in Iowa. In 1920, 437 ,265
automobiles were registered in the
State of Iowa, to which those same
automobiles pay the state $7,414,-
548.98 for registration. To which is
added $92,655.1O for license tags, or
in all, over Up million dollars or
exactly $780,, 2O2.O8. Mr.. Andrew
further estimates that these 1896
automobiles during the year Of 1920,
cost at least $3.50, 900, 900 for gaso-
line, lubricating oils, repairs, tires
and so forth, without mentioning the
thousands of new automobiles that
were bot in Iowa in 1920. Now in
comparison, Mr.. Andrew quotes the
years corn crop which was the larg-
est Iowa ever had, but which amounts
to only $222,6S6,O0O or nearly $780,
100000 less than the cost of operat-
ing the automobiles. Registration
of these automobiles cost more than
Iowa farmers can get out Of 100000
acres. of timothy seed, and $4,000
acres of clover seed, together.
