MINERS CH|EE
 LuSES APPEAL
Kansas Mine Leader, in Plea For Reinstatement, Voted
 Down at Convention

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. 17.-By margin Of less than 100 of it's 3,S25 votes, the delegates convention of the United Mine Workers of America here today refused to consider the ap peal of Alexander Howat to the union lo reinstate himself and other ex- pelled miners.
 While the refusal was shown by only unofficial tabulations of the vote, Howat tonight conceded he had been beaten, as also did his principal sup porter, Frank Harrington, the leader of the Illinois miners.
 The official vote will not be com pleted until tomorrow, when the roll ct absentee delegates will be called, but Howat said that he doubted that ;.ny material change would result from the additional balloting. In ef- feet, the vote approved the, expulsion of Eowat and his followers by Pres ident John L. Lewis, who said he acted because of refusal of the ue- posed Kansas leader to direct strikers to return to work as was ordered by the miners convention last fall.
 Surprising strength was shown by Aowato during the days roll call, and the result was not determined uneffi- cially until 150 of the votes were cast against him. The final vote was 1855 to 1866, and efforts were being made tonight by his supporters to muster a strength to overcome this despite the leaders concession of de feat. r
 We gave them a good fight" said Howat, and then added: f-
 ''I suppose now 1 will have to get cut of the United States and go 10 kussia.'
 Howat's unexpected strength dis couraged the administrative forces early in the day, lead of only 500 being piled up before the Illinois dele gation, having almost ene-fourth of the votes in the convention, began

passed prior to March 4.
 There is no power in the house to head off the soldier bonus now" said the Republican leader, which seemed to be the view of most members ln- sisting upon it's early passage. Democrats opposing the measure fn- sisted, on the other hand, that objec- tion to the sales tax was so strong in some quarters that if that plan of meeting soldier payments was. pre- scented squarely, it might be defeated But if the sales tax method is re- sorted to, it was said, President Harding would view with favor tax on production rather than on general retail sales. The executive was sa,C to favor this form, it was said at the White House, for it was, he believed, the simplest form of this tax and would avoid problems of exemption
 which probably would arise in case a general retail sales tax was decided on.
 Opposition to the sales tax proposal. however, was expressed in several quarters today. T. c. Atkeson, Wash ington representative of the National Grange, characterized it as designed to shift the burden of taxation from those most able to pay it, to those least able to pay" and Samuel Gomn- CTS, president of the American red eration of Labor. declared it wouIu work ''an injustice upon the whole
 people,"
 Atkeson outlined his views in let | ter to Chairman Fordney in which he said the Grange had suggested the excess profits tax for the bonus, and i if that was found inexpedient, "a tax should be levied which will not be added to the cost of living of the 1 millions with limited incomes" Gompers gave his views in d formal statement in which he said that or ganized labor stands 100 per cent for the soldiers bonus," but opposes anv form of retail, sales or consumption
 tax to raise revenue to pay the bonus
 or for any other purpose The bonus.
 he said, should have the approval of
 congress, but to create sales tax would be to turn a measure of justice
 into an imposition and an injustice upon the whole American people" Labor recognizes in the proposal to. attach the sales tax to the soldie, adjusted compensation bill" said Gompers, "a subterfuge intended eith
 CT to defeat the bonus or to create a feeling of resentment against the veterans of the World war by placing the burden upon those least able to bear it. and by permitting the escape
 of those who profiteered so relent- iessly during the period of the war , and since the war"
 Representative McArthur, Republi- can, Oregon. issued a statement to- night declaring that although he voteI
 for the soldiers bonus bill which passed the house two years ago, m.
 could not vote for q similar measure
 now.
