WASHINGTON. April 14.-Bootlegger

600 last year, 1t was estimated here to-
day on the basis of internal revenue
bureaus showing that approximately 3d.
10000 gallons of liquor were withdrawn
from bonded warehouses last year Be
tween $200O0O,OO0 and $500 OO0, 900 of this

come and excess profits taxes. So far
as tax records show, no profits earned
by bootleggers were reported or paid in
taxes. Tax officials are looking longing
ly at the gross profit of the bootleggers
last year which was equal TO the amount
the government paid in interest on the
entire war debt.
The new commissioner OF the Bureau
of Internal Reyenue, 1t is suggested, may
discover a way to collect the tax. Many
officials regard the possibility of collect
ing the bootleggers' tax as really orth

PREMIER FAILS
TO STOP LABOR
AID TO MINERS
Triple Alliance Flatly Rejects
Proposition and Repledges
It's Support.

LONDON, April 14.-An attempt by
Premier Lloyd George to split the triple
alliance" and avert the general strike an
nounced for 10 o'clock tomorrow night
broke down this afternoon, and all hope
Of settlement seems shattered.
Having exhausted all other means, the
premier tried, at a conference with the
spokesmen Of the rail men and transport
workers, to turn them against the min
ers. He failed completely.
AS the conferees left 10 Downing
street. where they had deliberated three
hours, j. II. Thomas, chief power In the
triple alliance, was asked:
is there any hope for settlement ?''
Il see none at ALL" he replied, grayely
shaking his head.
The premiers ingenious but ill-fated
attempt had consisted Of charging that
the miners were violating the consttu-
tion by seeking naturalization through
direct action.
PREMIER'S PLEA
TO DEAF EARS.
But the heads of the two classes Of
workers that are the miners partners in
the triple union declined to accept that
view of the situation. They fatty re-
fused to listen to the premiers plea that
they recommend to the miners to return
to work.
Instead, they stood firm on their de-
cision to go out themselves unless the
government acceded to the miners prin-
cipal-demands
For the first time In fortnight fraught
with crises, the general public has be-
gun to buckle down" to the actual reali-
cation that labor means business.
Labor has missed no opportunity, espe-
cially during the last twenty four hours,
to assure the country through its spokes-
men, that It does not contemplate rev
olution." However, the government calls
it that, and is prepared to deal with 1t
as such. Between the two the public is
the suffering third party, and in order to
reduce its suffering to the minimum. it
has intensified its preparations to work
hand in hand with the government In
combating Industrial paralysis and
f. mine. With the third menace, violence,
the government proposes to deal ruth
lessly from the outset. For nearly a
week the kingdom has been on a war
footing and everything is set for the
