TETRAzZINI TICKETS
MUST BE REDEEMED

The management of the "AllStar
Concerts" requests that all those who
have not already redeemed their tick
cts for the Tetrazzini concert last Fri
day evening, to redeem them immedi-
ately.
Many have very generously offered
not to have their tickets redeemed, and
while the management is deeply appre-
ciative of this kind spirit, the offer
must be declined, as positively no
money will be accepted by the manage
ment from those holding Tetrazzini
tickets, and if they are not redeemed it
will be to the holders loss.
With sincere appreciation of the
splendid spirit shown and regretting
the disappointment caused by Madame
Tetrazzini's inability to fill her en-
gagement, the management wishes to
thank the public, the press. the Jeffer-
son theatre and Mr.. William II. Leahy
Madame Tetrazzini's manager and all
in any way connected with the concert,
for their kind assistance and co-opera-
ton.

SEGREGATION PLAN
IS FILED IN COURT
Reading Company Proposes to
Assume Large Mortgage,
With Release of Most
All Claims
BY Associated Press

Philadelphia, February 14.--A plan for
the segregation of the Reading company,
and affiliated corpora tions, decreed by
the United States supreme court, and
notifications suggested by the govern
ment were filed with the federal district
court here late today and March / was
fixed to hear argument on the plan.
The plan proposed by the Reading
company and it's associated companies
which have been adjudged an illegal
comb ination, provides that the Reading
company, a holding concern, will as
sumo the $96 $4,000 general mortgage 4
per cent bonds which are the joint OBJ
legation of the Reading company and the
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron
company. The coal company will pay
the Reading company $10,00o,0o0 in cash
or current assets at market value and
$25, 10000 in four per cent mortgage
bends of the coal company.
The Reading company will merge the
Philadelphia and Reading railway COM
pany under the authority of the present
charter of the Reading company and will
subject the railway property to the di-
rect lien of the general mortgage. Tho
name Of the Reading company after the
merger will not be changed and the
Reading company will be subject to fed
eral and state regulations as common
carrier.
Inc proposed pan asks the Couft ~
defer the actual sale of the stock held
by the Reading company in the Central
Railroad company of New Jersey, pend
ing the grouping of railroads by the in
terstate commerce commission under
the transportation act but subject to the
further order of the court.
To this last proposal the government
entered an objection and suggested that
the Reading company shall, with air
due diligence" offer for sale at reason
able price and upon reasonable terms
the stock of the Central Railroad COM
pany, of New Jersey, now owned by y
for period of years. The government
leaves it to the court to name the num-
Der of years. If at the expiration of
such period a sale Of the stock has not
been made, at public auction at price
not less than the minimum price to be
agreed upon between the Reading COM
pany and the attorney-general.

TAKES CASE
UNDER ADJUSTMENT

At the conclusion of the arguments on
the petition for a writ of mandamus to
compel the officials of the Tennessee
Coal. Iron and Railroad company to all
low the state tax commission to exam
inc the books of the corporation the case
was taken under advisement by Judge
Richard Evans.
This petition was filed several days
ago in the circuit court by John S.;
Mooring and other members of the state
tax commission in order that the mem
hers might inspect the books for the
purpose of ascertaining the amount OF
taxes due the state for 1920. This cor
poration, together with about 40 others,
failed to allow the examination of the
books, which the commission was of the
opinion was necessary in order to make
i fair assessment.
The assessments made by the Jeffer-
son county board of tax adjusters and
based on the sworn statement Of George
Gordon Crawford, the president, was set
aside by the commission
The result Of this case will, in all
probability, be a guide for the action
against the other corporations which
have refused to allow an examination Of
their books, it is stated, and much in
terest is being taken in it.

COMP ULSORY LAWS
FOUGHT BY BOTH
LABOR AND CAPITAL
BY Associated Press

New York, February 14-Opposition OF
both organized labor and capital to leg
islative compulsion in the field of their
activities was expressed by representa-
tive speakers at today's session of the
National Civic federation.
o, G. Norman. chairman of the board
of governors of the New York Building
Trades Employers association, declared
that mo law can compel a man to do
busiess at a loss
Samuel Gompers, president of the Am
erican Federation of Labor paraphrased
Mr.. Norman's declaration to express the
attitude of organize labor toward the
Esch -Cummins law and the principle of
compulsory arbitration by stating that
mo law to compef workmen to work
against their will or under conditions
detrimental to their welfare or health
can be enforced
Matthew Vol. vice president Of the
American Federation of Labor, and
Frederick L. Hoffman, vice president OF
the Prudential Insurance company, also
addressed the meeting. Oscar s. Strauss
presided.
Mr. Gompers bitterly attacked certain
newspapers here, charging them with
misquoting him and distorting his re-
marks, adding he Imagined some of the
owners of newspapers ought to be behind
the bars
'Tf there is to be compulsory labor,
Mr. Gompers declared cit is good for
all and not for the workers alone
Mr.. Gompers asserted that this was the
only country in the world today where
the workers did not have their hands
on the throat of their government.
Taking up the charge that labor had
been guilty of contract breaking, Mr..
Gompers declared that all the contract
breaking within the last five months
had been on the part of employers. He
said that legislation such as the Esch-
Cummins law tended to keep labor and
capital apart and declared that there had
been no conferences of the railroad Off
Gals and the employees of the railroads
since that law was passed

however, although it had been expected
that vote would be had on the amend
ment of Senator Smoot republican, Utah,
changing the import rates on sugar from
those accepted by the Senate finance
committee. Mr.. McCumber as we'll as
Senators Gay, democrat, louisiana and
Smoot discussed the Amendment and sew
eral other senators got into the debate
now and then but when the session
ended no definite progress had been
made.
Senator Underwood was reticent about
his assurance Of presidential veto. He
declined to say whether it came from the
president direct and refused to answer
questions relative to the form in which
the information came.
HAS ALL GUESSING
The statement of the minority leader,
however, was the cause of speculation
among senators on both sides of the
emergency tariff question. 1t was gen.
orally accepted that as result of the
white house attitude, the democrats were
more than willing to let the measure
go to vote where all senator's records
could be preserved. At any rate, the
session today gave no evidence of tn.
parliamentary jockeyihg and delay
which characterized the earlier debates
on tariff.
Mr.. McCumber did not elaborate on
his statement that he expected vote
by tomorrow night. 1t was made just
as the Senate turned to consideration
of the Fordney bill in midafternoon,
and was in connection with warning
by the North Dakota senator that the
unfinished business should actually be-
unfinished M Spnafa
and attention given it.
Plans of the republican leaders con-
corning revision of the permanent
tariff were made public in the form of
letter by Mr.. Fordney to Representa-
tive Frear, republican, Wisconsin. Any
programme, Mr.. Fordney said, which
did not contemplate immediate action
on revision of the Underwood tariff
act would not be in accord with the
Overwhelming expression of the peo-
pie" in the November election.
The House ways and means COM
mittee, it's. chairman indicated. will
launch into the work of framing the
new tariff law Immediately after the
hearings, now in process, are con-
cluded, probably within the next few
days. The bill then will be made ready
for introduction and consideration in
the House in the early days of the ex-
ira session.
after the tariff bill has passed the
House" Mr.. Fordney's letter continued,
and during the time it is being de-
bated in the Senatei time will be af-
forded to prepare new revenue bill
and to conduct hearings on which tax
revision should be based"
Chairman Fordney also secuted pub
lished reports that the committees
mind was made up with respect to
sales tax and said that full considera-
ton was to be given all revenue sug-
gestions and that treasury experts
would be brought in for technical adj
vice before action of any kind was
taken.
