Say Proposed Increase Will
Hurt Corporations Least
Able to Bear 1t.
NIGHT BE CALAMiT0us
Demand Repeal of Excess
Profit Tax and Urge Levy
on Incomes.

ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. 22.--Vigorous
opposition TO the Senate proposal TO in
crease tho tax on corporate earnings
from 10 10 is per cent vas voiced to-
day by the board Of directors of the
National Association OF Credit Men.
The increase OF the normal tax on
corporations will affect thousands OF
corporations whose rate of earnings Is
SO low as not to be reached by the ex-
cess profits tax, the very corporations
least able to bear IT," says the state
TAX burdens of such corporations by 80
per cent. is indefensible. In present
business conditions 1t may be calami-
tous.''
To prevent individuals permitting
their earnings from corporate sources
10 accumulate in the hands of corpora
tons for the purpose OF avoiding in
dividual income taxes the credit men
suggest a tax on undstributed earn
ings OF such corporations.
The statement issued by the board is
al arTaignment of Congress FOR its
delay in carrying out its prediction
promises TO reform taxation
Business men have relied on pledges
made last year that war taxes would be
abolished promptly, and we now call
upon those responsible for these pledges
10 keep faith BY repeating the excess
profit tax and the repressive surtaxes,"
the statement says.

board. Tax Programme.

The board of directors issued a tax
programme which. it was declared,
would meet with approval Of the busi-
ness interests OF the country. This pro-
giamme embraced five planks, as fol-
lows:
1.-The excess profits tax should be
repealed. Al
''a-1ncome taxation. embodying as II
does the principle of taxing in accord
ance with ability to pay, should be the
cornerstone of our Federal system OF
taxation.
80. The income tax should be levied
on the income OF individuals only and
rot on corporations az SUCH.
-. Wherever individuals permit their
earnings from corporate business to ac-
cunulate in the hands OF corporations
and thus evade individual income tax, a
tax comparable to individual income tax
hands of the corporations.
70. Whether or not the above priu-
ciples OF taxation are to be recognized
In TIE tax bill now pending in Congress
VIC are unalteTably opposed to any in
crease in the rate of the normal tax
levied on the income of corporations.
The Increase of the normal tax on cor
porations from 10 per cent. to Is per
cent. will affect thousands of corpora
tons whose rate of earnings is so low
as not to be reached by the excess
profits tax. the very corporations least
able to bear II. Increasing the tax
burden OF such corporations by 90 per
cent. is indefensible in the present bust
ness depression It may be caiamitous."

Milk Board to Suppress
Profiteering by Dealers

Prices Will Be Denied Sup.
plies. Nathans Declares

The New York Milk Conference
Board will attempt this week to sup
press profteering by grocers and other
retail dealers who have been taking
advantage of the strike situation to
charge eXorbitant prices for milk. II
was announced last night by l. Elkin
Nathahs, secretary of the board.
"The retailer is entitled to a profit
of one cent bottle, and anything he
gets above that is protiteering. said
Mr.. Nathans. THAT was the profit
Limitation fixed during the war, and
there certainly is no reason for ex-
tending it now. There is plenty of
milk for every one. The dealer hasn't
the excuse Of shortage for price
boosting.
"We sell grade A milk to the retailer
at 1S cents bottle, grade B at Il
cents a bottle and loose milk at ap-
proximatoly 10 cents quart. Thus
the public should pay the retailer not
more than 10 cents for grade A, Is
cents for grade B and IL cents a quart
for loose milk. In the case of grade A,
the public can get this variety at 18
cents a quart from the distributors
wagons.
ave intend to shut off the milk sup
ply of all retailers who charge more
than these prices, and welcome COM
plants from the public. These should
be sent by mail, addressed to the Milk

iron Building, or by telephone to Ash

From TEe TTtOKrS'5 washington 6ufcd1
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-Secretary
of Labor Davis and Secretary of Com
merce Hoover viii give immediate con-
sideration to any request made by the
New ork garment makers or the strlk
ers to endeavor to draft compromise
agreement which will end the contro-
versy which has existed between the
two factions, it became known here to-
night, following the dispatch from
New York of the request Of the manu-
facturers for the Cabinet members to
enoeavor to compose the differences.
Secretary Davis said he would ar
range Immediately TO take up the case
of the striking garment workers and
their employers as soon as any request
had been received by the Depart
ment of Labor to handle the situation.
He is prepared to represent the views
of the workmen, and Secretary Hoover
has consented to represent the employ
ers in any discussion that might ensue,
Mr.. Davis said.
The suggestion was made to the en-
ployers and the men last week by the
Labor Secretary that Mr.. Hoover and
himself serve as 81 board OF arbi-
tration in the dispute. The Cabinet
members suggested that careful sur
vey Of the whole situation be made
with view to reaching some amicable
agreement which would do justice to
the strikers and at the same time be
ccertable by the employers. 1t was
the plan Of the Secretaries to draft an
agreement which would cover all the
phases of the working conditions in
volved IN the present strike. The pro-
posal was sent to the unions and thes
manufacturers in the hepe that the
Federal government might serve in
helpful capacity TO end the dispute.

Blood Seller
In Bowery Held
AS Drug Addict
Italian Tells Police He Has
Been Paid for Is Trans
fusion Operations in Year
and Five Here Recently
Patient in One Case Dead
Surgeons Report Unusual
Results and Fear Taint;
General Warming Issued

James Milo, twenty seven years old,
who described himself as professional
blood donor, of Boston, was arrested in
boarding house on the Bowery yestcr-
day charged with possessing a quantity
Of heroin and being drug addict. Ac-
cording to Special Deputy Police Com
missioner DR.. Carlton Simon, Milo, when
taken into custody, had in his possess
sion list Of twenty-five physicians,
surgeons and hospitals to whom he
alleges he had sold his blood for trans
fusion cases.
DR.. Simon notified FIVE surgeons to
whom the prisoner reported having
given his blood within the last few
weeks. One Of these doctors reported
that the patient in the TRANSMISSION case
in which Milo was employed had died.
He declared, however. that the case was
considered hopeless when the transfu-
sion was undertaken, and that as it was
one Of emergency, Milo had been en-
ployed on short notice. He is reported
as saying that the itinerant Italians
name appears on surgeons list of
blood donors.
Patients Temperature Mounts
Another physician, to whom Milo said
he sold 800 cubic centimeters Of his
blood less than a week ago, recalled
the prisoner and said that he had no.
ticed an unusual reaction in the case
Of the patient He said that he had
used the Unger method Of TRANSMISSION
and that instead of the temperature
returning to normal short time after
the operation 1t was 105 degrees at
the end of thirty-six hours. He re-
ported that the patient now was i'm
r-cvng slowly.
AS there is no precedent, according
to DR.. Simon, it is impossible to say
with any certainty whether the use Of
the blood Of drug addict for trans
fusion would react unfavorably. The
Wasserman test, which is usually the
only one employed in examining the
blood Of prospective. donors, does not
indicate tho presence of drug or an
opiated condition Of blood corpuscles.
Physicians and surgeons differ as to
whether the blood of an addict would

says, but acquired the drug habit later.
The prisoner says he hit upon the
profession OF "blood donor" as an easy
means of earning money from time to
time. His blood has been used, he
says, in twenty-five cases in Boston and
New York hospitals. He says he has
sold his blood for various prices and
has been paid as high as s25 pint for
it. The last case where he was en-
ployed, he said, was in New York five
days ago In th.s last case Milo gave
g pint of blood.
When Milo was arrested he was
under the influence of drugs, the ar
resting officers charge. On his person
were found three vfals Of heroin and
a hypodermic needle. The prisoner
was arraigned in Jefferson Market
court and held for frrthef examination.

Specfdt dispatch to The Tribune
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 27.--"Fatty"
Arbuckle has convinced his attorneys
that he should be permitted to go on
the stand and testify in his own de-
Tense. and they announced to-day that
he would be called Monday or Tuesday.
He will give his own version of what
happened in Room 1919 at the St. Fran
els Hotel, from which Virginia Rappe
was carried in dying condition.
Arbuckle has been warned by his
counsel that the prosecution will sub
ject him to merciless grilling, and his
appearance on the stand will open the
field to questions regarding other par
ties in which he appeared as guest or
host, but he is determined to tell the
jury and the world his story of Miss
Rappe's death.
Has Not Yet Told His Side
He has had no opportunity hitherto
to tell his story. He did not testify
at the police court hearing at which
the charge was changed from murder
to manslaughter, and, aside from a GEN
eral denial of any completely in the
death of Miss Rappc, made to news
paper men, he had not been heard. Now
he wants his side of the story be made
public, and insists that he is best quail
flied to tell it. He will be the final
witness for the defense.
The defense will summon Ignatius
Mccarthy, a fingerprint expert, to at
tempt to disprove the testimony given
by E. O. Heinrich, fngerprint expert
for the state, who said he found and
photographed hand and fngerprints of
Miss Rappe and Arbuckle on the door
OF Room 1919, and that it appeared
Arbuckle's hand was over that of Miss
Rape. This examination was made
twelve days after the tragedy and the
defense contends the doors are cleaned
every day and that no prints could
have remained that long. A chamber
maid whose duty it is to clean the
doors and other woodwork daily, has
testified that she washed and brushed
this particular door frequently.
Defense to Recall Witnesses
The defense also plans to recall Miss
Zey Provost and AL Semnacher, who
we're witnesses for the state. An at
tempt will be made to show that Miss
Provost was kept in custody by the
state for a period of six weeks. and
that she was subjected to threats of
Imprisonment unless she testified to

Special Dispatch TO The Tribune
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 27.-The ar
mistice declared week ago between
the Manufacturers Association and the
Cloakmakers' Union terminated yester-
day. The union declared strike for
10 o'clock tomorrow morning, after a
final conference, in which the manu-
facturers adhered to their original plan
of restoring the piece work system in
the shops and factories in this city.
The union announced that under no
circumstances would the workers re-
turn to the old system of piece work.
They contend that it is detrimental to
the employees health. Simon Cramer.
president of the Manufacturers As
sociation of Philadelphia, was equally
vigorous in his denial that the old sys-
tenn would have tendency to impair
the workers health.

employers to keep their factories clean,

about the return of the sweatshop--it is

concerning the scheduled strike:
This strike has been forced upon
US and we shall accept it. Your loyalty
and devotion to the union will teach
your employers lesson for the future.
We shall fight our battles as Amer
lean trade unionists and as American
citizens. Obedience to the law and
peace provisions shall prevail.

symptoms resembling drug craving in
the receiver of such blood.
Warming Sent Surgeons
"A drug addict is considered by some
physicians as diseased being" DR..
Simon said. "The TRANSMISSION OF drug

certainly could not be expected to have
good effect. All these patients and
surgeons have been warned so that
proper care and treatment may be ad-
ministered to overcome any i'll effects
of the trnnsfusions."
