MEN To WORK
IS Have Been Placed by Fed

This City
FOUR Ex-SERvICE MEN
About 600 Men Have Been
Registered Here--Work is
to be Pushed
FOUR Ex-SERVICE MEN

During the past three days, fifteen
of the persons registering at the Fed
eral, State. Municipal Employment
Office in this city, have been furnish
ed with positions. This proves that,
although it may be slow work Sc
curing jobs for all the unemployed
men who register in the registration
campaign now going on. that the
committee in charge of this work is
finding places for those most in need
of employment as fast as possible.
From information obtained today
IL is likely that as many and possibly
more will be found positions within
the next few days.
OF the fifteen men who have been
placed in positions. four are ex-ser-
vice men. Those in charge of the
work, feel greatly encouraged over
the placing of the men. and point
to the fact that the men were
placed before the organization had
been completed. and maintain that
this shows only little of what can
be accomplished once the unem-
ployed of the city are registered,
and the organization fully perfect
ed. A meeting of the committee re-
Gently appointed by Mayor William
c. Wilson to take charge of the
unemployment situation in this city
will meet the first of next week.
The placing of the fifteen men also
shows that the plants of the city as
we'll as the citizens are striving in
all ways possible to furnish work for
the unemployed. This Is proved. by
the fact that eight of the men were
placed with the Standard Under
ground Cable Company. when the
business of the company Is said not

this time. Two of the men were
placed at the plant of the Barber
Asphalt Paving Company; two with
the Peters Machine Co.: one with
The General Ceramics Co.: one with
Kelly G. McAlinden Co., and one
with a private citizen who desired
considerable work done about his
property.
A total of 900 unemployed persons
registered at the federal. state, mu-
nicipal employment Office up to the
closing hour last night and a large
number is expected to register today.
Although 1t may be more than a
week before the 2,770 persons esti-
mated to be In the city at the pres
ent time without employment are
registered, the committee in charge
of this work is of the opinion that
the entire number will be registered.

EDGE FOR GREAT
TAX REVISION
StartIes Senate With Plan to
Adopt Sales Tax for Gov
ernment Revenues
BY GEORGE III. MANNING
Washington Correspondent of the
Perth AmbOv EWING News.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-Senator
Walter E. Edge of New Jersey,
startled the senate today with a
speech on the tax revision bill now
before congress in which he advo-
Gated that the present system of
taxation. including the income. cor
porations, excess profits and other
irritating taxes, be entirely discard
ed and the United States adopt the
sales tax plan for obtaining govern
mental revenues.
In order TO cheek the present
alarming trade and business condi-
tions and encourage revival of busi-
ness prosperity, he urged. the con-
gress should brush aside the present
system of taxation which discour-
ages business enterprise, initiative
and investment through putting too
heavy burden on big business and
large investors, and substitute the
sales tax plan which places the tax
burden on all alike in proportion
to their actual expenditures; but
not upon production or thrift.
Senator Edge said he realized 1t
is not the popular thing to urge
upon those who hive not fully studied
the question, the lifting of the heavy
tax burden from the men of wealth,
but asserted that very modest sales
tax will more than make up any
revenue that may be lost by repeal
ing the particularly damaging ana
taxes.
The wealthy are refusing longer
to pay the heavy surtaxes and excess
profits taxes. the New Jersey sena-
tor declared, and by putting their
money in tax exempt federal. state
and local securities are evadlng
of all taxes and taking
millions and millions of dollars out
of circulation in enterprises that
would give work to millions or un-

Facts About Strikes

Each year since 1916 there
have been an average of 5000
strikes and 100 lockouts in the
United States.

over a period of three years, 1856
strikes have been won by en-
ployers, 1857 by employees, 1895
have been compromised and IN
373 the men have returned to
work pending arbitration.
Government officials estimate
that strikes in 1919 cost employ
es more than sS00,000.000 and
employers more than s1,300.000.-
900. The railroad shopmen's
strike alone of that year cost the
roads more than s300,0oO,O00 in
