Special Dispatch 10 The Star.
PHILADELPHIA. July 13.-There
has been no break in the labor sit
uation here so far as the building
trades are concerned, although a
committee Of citizens has appealed
to dependents Of strikers to use their
influence to help break the strike
on the grounds that many families
will be in distress next winter when
their savings melt away. Carpenters,
who have demanded $1.12k an hour
in the city, are reported in some cases
to be working for 80 cents an hour
outside.
An Indication in general prosperity
is seen in the crowds seeking the
shore resorts of south Jersey and
the high rents received for cottages
along the coast. Local shoe manu-
facturers are in receipt OF good or
ders for autumn and there is some
replacement demand for summer
goods.
With the settlement of the British
coal strike, the export demand for
bituminous coal has slackened and
buyers are deaf to appeals to stock
up for winter at this time. Although
no attempt has been made to collect
the state tax on anthracite from con-
sumers, the demand for hard coal also
is dull. Distributors Of low-priced
motor cars report heavy sales for the

WILL TAXES MEAN BANK
RUPTCY.

Reports show that tho govern
ment's revenue from excess profits
and income taxes has fallen off heav-
lily. Reports from various states
states show that state tax delin-
queneies are getting new high rec
ords. Bankers know that more mon
ey has been withdrawn and borrow
ed for tax payments than ever be-
fore. This indicates two things.
First. that the abnormal business
conditions of the war are past and
that profits are no peace basis and
do not justify war taxes. Second,
that the multiplicity of taxes, city,
county, state and national, have in
creased to such an extent that the
average citizen is hard pressed to
make sufficient profit to meet them
and leave the requisite capital for
operating his business.
There is hope that federal tava-
ton Will be reduced. But in the av-
erage western states taxes for the
next two years will be increased
due to the enormously increased
amoents demanded to meet the ap.
