TAX REVISION BILL
 MAKES NO PROGRESS IN SENATE DEBATE

WASHINGTON, oct. 3.-Compar- atiyely little progress on the tax re- vision bill was made today by the senate. The most important com mittee amendments reached, those proposing a tax of Is per cent on corporations and increasing exemp- tions to heads of families having net incomes of less than S5,0o0 and on account of dependents, were passed over second time.
 Committee amendments agreed to included those requiring individuals having a gross income of S5,000 year to make return regardless or the amount of the net income and permitting the taxpayer to make a reduction for debts ascertained to be worthless and charged off within taxable year.
 Several amendments were proposed from the floor. Senator King Democrat of Utah, offered substi- tute for his previous income surtax amendment under which the max imum rate would be 40 per cent Of that portion of the income in ex- cess of $70,000. The rate on the first S2,000 of net income would be two per centM on the next $1,000, three per cent; on the next $1,000 four per cent with an increase of one per cent for each additional S1,00O up to | SS,000. Then the rate would be in creased one per cent for each addi- tional $2,000.
 Senator Lodge of Massachusetts proposed that deductions be allowed corporations for rents received from buildings of any character to the ex-
 tent of six per cent "of the face mar
 ket value of such buildings and the
 land on which they stand"
 Repeal of the freight. passenger
 and Pullman taxes was proposed by
 Senator Harris, Democrat of Geor- 1 gia, who gave notice that he would l offer an amendment proposing that where income is derived from the
 labor or personal service of the in dividual taxpayer, the rate on the
 first s4,00e should be two per cen
 and that on the second s4,00o, foui per cent.

UNITED MINE WORKERS REFUSE T0C0NDEN|N AMERICAN LEGION
 FUR ACTIONS IF INDIVIDUALS
IRepubIIcan A. P. Leased WIrel


 INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 3-Although Legion because of alleged strike breaking activities of some of its members, the.convention of the Unit ed Mine Workers of America today adopted a resolutions committee re- port calling on legion officials "to put their house in order.''
 The action. came after several del- egates had appealed vehemently for the convention to go on record in qualified condemnation of the legion.
 The committee report was among those made on more than 100 reso- lutions sent to the convention for consideration by local unions through out the country and which had been before the committee for considera- tion since the opening of the con vention- Most of the resolutions went into the discard.
 Aside from the work on resolutions the committee voted overwhelmingly not to change the unions present system of appointing organizers.
 Supporters of an election plan complained that the appointhe sys- tenn permitted officers to build up a political machine, but no evidence to support this charge was found by a committee appointed at the 1919 con- vention, which election of organizers was impracticable.
 Among the resolutions adopted were those favoring immediate na- tionalization of coal rSines and rail- roads, the repeal of the espionage | laws and emnesty for all political prisoners and self-determination for Ireland.
 rrNt-- I~f~ a stand on prohibition when the issue | was brought up by resolutions favor | ing light wines and beer. No action was taken on these resolutions.
 Resolutions, regarded by delegates as manifesting radical tendencies were rejected outright The idea oi "one big union" of workers. the affil- ] iation of tEe mine workers with the ] international council of trade and in l dustrial unions to develop workins class solidarity and the calling of z convention of American trade unions to form one organization, having a | it's odject the abolition of capital ant the establishment of a workers indus trial republic in the United State were lost overwhelmingly withou | discussion.
 The committee report dealing witt the American Legion, cited the le gion's constitution as proof that tn World War Veterans organization shall be force of law and order, adding that acts of individual mem bers had justly brought cohdemna ton on the legion. and that the tyr amy practiced by legion member through force is in direct violation of the federal constitution as well a that of the order.
