the degree to which these groups
control the economic life of the
United States, and suggests that
taxation of their privilege of hold.
ing land idle is necessary to re.
strict their power over the rest of
the population.
His inheritance tax bill exempts
all legacies up to $4,000, and lays
tax of only one per cent on sums
up to $4,000. The rates are grad
ually increased, so that legacies of
81 100000 to $4,000,000 pay % per
cent, those from $4,000,000 to $10,-
00,000,000 pay so per cent, the
next $90,000,000 pay rs per cent
while all over $100,000,000 pays 90
per cent.
Inheritance Tax Is Needed
This inheritance tax" says Kell-
er, '.is needed to correlate the eff
fects of the land values tax. The
land values tax will check the con-
centration of wealth, but the steeply
graduated inheritance tax will re-
turn to the national treasure box
huge acculumations of wealth ac-
quired as the result of economic in
justices tolerated in the past. In
other words, this law will tap the
huge reservoirs of wealth which
are full to overflowingG and syphon
their contents back into the spring
of business life from which they
were drawn, but do it gradually
without economic dislocation. The
justice of the principle and its So
cial necessity cannot be questioned.
All that is debatable is the amount
of the war"
Keller estimates that the increas-
ed rates of inheritance taxation pro-
posed by him would add $750,000,-
600 to Federal revenues each year.
Keller is well aware that Nicholas
Longworth, Fordney, Hadley and
other standpatters on the Ways and
Means Committee will sidetrack his
bills if possible. Therefore he is
carrying his fight directly to the
people.
81 want popular support for these
measures, "Keller saws" and want
it from republicans, democrats,
workers, farmers and business men.
This is not a partisan program and
it is not a class program. My tax
measures will benefit every pro-
ducer in the country and | ask the
support of every person who be-
lieves in honest taxation. And make
that support active. Write your
congressman and senator's. That is
the best way to help me. The pres
sure of public opinion can compel
the passage of these bills 49, and
nothing else can"

THE CENTRAL
LABOR COUNCIL
Wednesday, July 6, 1921.
The council was called to order
at 8 p. M. by President Michel.

The Harry Wood Case
On request of the Timberwork-
ers the councils delegates to the
State Federation of Labor were in
structed to take up the Wood case
in the State Federation Convention.
This case is the maltreatment of
Harry Wood, an organizer of the
Timberworkers, in Northern Califor-
MIA last year, when he barely es-
capped with his life.
Cooperative Musical Instrument
Manufacturers
A communication was received
from the Piano, Organ and Musical
Instrument Workers International
Union of America, which is self
explanatory. The letter follows:
Chicago, Illinois, July /, 1921.
To Organized Labor,
Greeting: This is to inform you
that December A. 1920, a number
of members of the Piano, Organ
and Musical Instrument Workers
International Union organized what
is now known as the De Luxe Pl-
ano Co., manufacturers of upright
pianos, player planoS, sfaiiu piaioo
and talking machines, located at
S14 Rees St., Chicago, Ill.
The institution is operating along
cooperative lines, including the day
work system, an eight-hour day
and a forty-four hour working week.
The organization is the result of
the constant attacks of the employ
er against the Piano, Organ and
Musical Instrument Workers Inter-
national Union.
We feel that if Organized Labor
will give this effort their full sup
port, success will be assured.
The instruments manufactured are
of the highest grade, second to none.
Every instrument fully guaranteed.
A Is per cent discount will be al
bowed on all retail prices to good
standing members in the Trade
Union Movement. We ship to any
part of the United States.
Bear in mind that this is the
only cooperative union piano and
talking machine manufacturing con-
Germ upon the American Continent.
The Union Label appears on every
instrument.
Thanking you very much for any

without that. We can honestly
point out to the new citizen and to
mis- children that America is the
most hopeful example in the history
of the world; that because Of her
basic principles and her organiza-
tion, America is the land of oppor-
Junity; that with ballots in their
hands her citizens can bring about
changes upon which majority may
determine after full debate; that
because this is true it is a crime
for citizens to appeal to violence or
to disregard constitutional proce-
dure.
This work can be done universal
ly and effectively only by the pub
nc schools. 1t is distinctively a
function Of public education. We
pledge the American Federation of
Teachers that this shall be done
thoroughly, sanely and continuously
so far as our influence with teach
ers and the people prevail We are
convinced that the practical appli.
cation of this program is neces-
sariiy the function of the classroom
teacher and therefore we regard it
as a field in which our national or
ganiZatiOn Of classroom teachers is
peculiarly called to service.
We pledge ourselves to impress
deeply upon those whose thinking is
so greatly under our direction the
fact that our political organization
is designed to express the will of
the majority with due protection to
the rights of minorities; that that
will must be expressed by vote and
not by violence; that other methods
are ineXcusable and most danger

British Mine Strike Ends

London, England, July 2. An
agreement has been reached be-
tween striking coal miners and coal
owners and the government. The
strike lasted three months, and was
one of the most costly in the in
dustrial history of Great Britain.
The miners waive demands for a
national pool, or a tax on all coal
mined, to maintain a living wage
in high cost mines. The coal own
ers have Abandoned their demand
for wage cuts, which in some cases
would be as high as As per cent.
The government is expected to
grant a $50,000,000 subsidy. This
approval by parliament is believed
to be a formality. Officials of the
miners will recommend that the
workers accept the settlement.
The chaotic condition of indus

the miners, who waged an heroic
struggle.

REVAL. April 5.-Despite the new

These deals were negotiated by the
