General Sales Tax Bill Is Advocated
 By Senator Shoot
IRepuhlican A. P. Lea.ed Wirel

WASHINGTON, April IDA gen. eral sales tax was advocated tonight in a statement by Senator Smoot. Utah, Republican member of the senate finance committee, who an- nounced he would introduce such a bill in the senate Tuesday. The mea- sure. which he estimates would yield approximately $500. .000.000 annually would place a flat tax of one per cent on gross sales above $6.000 annually of virtually all commodities, both raw materials and finished products. The bill carries a few exemptions. but application would be stayed prac- tically only on such commodities as now bear a higher levy.
 Early consideration is planned by the senate finance committee.
 Mir. Shoot said his proposed tax would be simple in application and easy to compute. He declared it would properly distribute the burden Of taxation. compelling each citizen to bear share proportionate to his ability to pay as mea by his buying or producing powers.
 If the sales tax becomes a law he continued, congress can repeal not only the items provided for in the bill, but can repeal all of the Irritating, discriminatory taxes amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars. and the excess profits tax
 Taxes on soft drinks, tobacco. auto- mobiles and some other so-called lux uries would remain. These commod- ities already bear taxes regarded as heavier than the one per cent tax In addition to the tax on sales. g levy having rhe same application would be placed on total amounts oi all leases.
 Concerning the scope of the bill the senator said:
 'SIt is a tax on the gross value of goods, wares and merchandise whether raw materials or manufac- tured or partially manufactured prod ucts, whether domestic or foreigr origin. and such as are generally solo by exchange and delivered for do mestic consumption. whether in bar ter or on cash, credit or installment basis which tax shall accrue at ths sale or lease at the rate of one pei cent of their total value at the time of change in ownership"
 The senator contended that th' sales tax method was one of justice to all. The actual added cost to the consumer of a one per cent tax added at each turn of the goods would, ht predicted. fall below three per cent
 The bill contemplates payment O. the whole tax accumulated through resales by the ultimate consumer, th' senator said, adding that there wa. no objection to the final seller ab- sorbing the tax if he cared to do so

NEW YORK. April To-. Haley F'iske, president of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company. and a mem- Der of the executive committee of the National Association of Owners of Railroad securities, informed A. H. Smith. president of the New York Central railroad, in a letter today. that some railroads are making a mistake in their attitude toward labor. It was in reply 70 Mir. Smiths letter to S. Davies Warfield. president of the association. taking exception to the position of the asso- ciation's executive committee in con ferring with representatives of rail- road employees
 Your assumption" Mir. Fiske wrote, that in seeking conference with the labor representatives. we were pretending to represent you on your board, was quite unwarranted. We frankly put our real position be- fore these organizations. and the public. We think the truculent atti- tude of some railroad administrations towards the operatives and the unions a great mistake which may lead to disaster. and that it is time that all concerned should show some concil-
  tent of endeavoring to get the point of view of labor. and to seek some method of negotiation to end the present impasse.'
 Mir. Fiske stated that the Metro politan Life Insurance company's IT. uancial interest in the New Nork Central railroad amounts to s22.o0o.- 900.
 "Our interest in your company is vital one" he said. Tt is very dis turbing to read that you are ais posed to ignore this interest. It Is even more disturbing to find yourself and the board resent any action on our part to protect our interests. .,,
 "You are objecting, if you VIII pardon us for saying so, in an offen- sive not to say imperunent way, U o,r endeavors to protect our own investments We feel that we had a right to expect cooperation and heif rather than opposition.

HAVANA, April 10.-Jose R. cana blanca, Cuban chess master. won the tenth game of the worlds champion ship match with Dr. Emmanuel Las ker tonight, Dr. Lasker resigning af ter the sixth eighth move.
 Capa ablanca has now won two games. Lasker none, and eight games have been drawn.
 Dr. Lasker admitted soon after play began tonight that he had lost the game, but he did not resign at once because, he explained. he and the chess public were anxious to know how Capablanca would force the pieces, as the position was very intricate. He took nearly fifty min Utes before replying to Capablanca' s sixty fourth move, which had been sealed, when play ended early Sun day.
 The play was most deliberate but the German master finally realized it was useless to continue and resigned before making his sixty ninth move
 The time of the game was-I.asker four hours forty minutes; CapabIanca four hours, twenty minutes

BRITAIN WAITS
 FUR RESULT OF
 STRIKE MEE l
Republican A. p. Leased wire1

LONDON, April 10. = Relaxation from the. tension created by the coal strike and the possibility of general industrial tie-up today gave the cab inet ministers and labor leaders op portunity for a rest.
 Opinion continues favorable, but meanwhile all precautionary meas ures and recruiting of volunteers are proceeding and will not be relaxed until the miners return. These prep arations formed a great attraction for Londoners today.
 Two important views were appar- ent today
 The first was the confident belief among labor leaders that. now that unfettered conference is assured, many bumpers will return to work, although under the agreement they only are required to abstain from moleSting volunteers. The second was that the government, while op- posed to a subsidy, is willing for a limited period to afford some tenn porary assistance. It also is believed that the wage basis recently pro- posed by the mine owners will be dis carded and a new basis formulated for the miners consideration.
 Herbert Smith, president and Frank Hodges, secretary of the miners federation, addressed a letter today to the organization, urging all concerned to accept the recommends tion which is described as mot in struction that our members should return to work but that those locked out should refrain from obstructing action to secure the safety of the mines"
 In a speech, J. H. Thomas, secre- tary of the National Union of Rail- waymen, said the agreement was "a triumph for the common cause"
 There is a belief prevalent among union men that something in the form of a national settlement will re- suit from the conference tomorrow or at least a standard minimum wage with some system of bonuses for dis trfcts where exceptional conditions prevail
 The triple alliance holds that the strike notices for Tuesday midnight will not be withdrawn until the con. ference Is in session.

 WASHINGTON, April 10. = Frank acknowledgment by the Turkish Ma tionalist government of Angora of a desire to reach an understanding with France for subverting British influ- ence in the Near East is contained in a semi official statement received to- day from Angora.
 The declaration of policy of tie Turkish Nationalist government is Of especial interest, in the opinion of officials, since the policy urged on France by the Turks may have had some influence in the evacation cf Cilicia, as well as in the conclusion of a formal understanding between the two governments.
 Great Britain today is not only supreme in the Near East" the state ment declared, but also in the world and France finds herself under this domination. Turkey understands that the struggle which she pursues today is neither against the Greeks nor against the French but instead against the British
 The Near Eastern policy of Great Britain was reported as being di rected against France and that of the latter was endeavoring to maintain intact an independent Turkey. Criti- cism, however, was made of the pur suit by France of certain economic interests contrary to the vital inter ests of the Turks"
 "Should France desire it." the statement said, "a solution might te found for all these questions affect ing the interests of France and Fur key Evacuation of Cilicia by France would strengthen the government oi Anatolia that all plans of British domination would in a very short time be effectually checked. The policy which Turkey henceforth will be able to pursue will be one wf1icl will be in accord with many points of French policy"
