DIVIDEND IS NOT

Tax Dodgers Can Con-

Philadelphia-Th federal circuit
court of appeals has upheld the fed
eral district court in its decision that
Ia 100 per cent dividend declared by
the Gulf oil corporation in 1913 did
not constitute income to the stock
holders.
Instead of giving stockholders the
100 per cent profit in cash, the oil
corporation increased it's capitaliza-
tion and issued same to the stock
holders. This capitalization Of profits
is not profits" within the meaning
of the law, said the court, following
a previous decision by the United
States supreme court.
The suit was started by the Pitts
burgh collector of internal revenue
against William L. Mellon, nephew
of the secretary of the treasury.
Mellon owned 1855 shares, which
netted him $1,265, 900. Stock to this
amount was issued him and the in
ternal revenue collector sued for ST.

Had the governments contention
been upheld stockholders would have
been called upon to pay several mil
lion dollars in taxes.

CUT THE KNOT!

On the question of getting out coal
the Cincinnati Post had the following
! editorial:
Every day of delay in getting coal
and lots of it out of the ground means
suffering and hardship next winter.
1t means payrolls stopped as fac
! tories close. 1t means paralysis.
You and you and you, Mr.. Citizen,
who, because the midsummer sun is
/ blazing, think of the coal trouble as
a dispute between some other people
and not really your affair-you are
asleep.
Coal-millions of tons of it, barge
| loads of it, train loads of it-cannot
be wished out of the ground or wished
across the country when winters icy
grip comes.
Quick, stern action on the part of
Mr. Harding cannot delay a hoped-for
settlement. 1t can only hasten it.
Every day, every hour, every minute
is precious. 1t may mean life and
death to some "of the least of these"
This paper sincerely believes that
three actions by the president would
break the JAM Here they are:.
l. Take over the operation of the
mines and dig coal at the wage and
and working conditions of the wage
agreement which expired April 1st
"Take over" means publicly to re-
quest each operator to open his mine
on that basis, but as agent for Mr..
Harding. Thus the operator need
lose none of his rights and make no
surrender.
2. Have a wage conference, such

ton in conditions of real disorder.
There have been. no outbreaks that
called for anything except a few
policemen, and it is unfair to issue
proclamations that carry implications
that there is grave danger of serious
insurgency on the part of some act
i've contingent of labor organization.
These heraldings of the probable use
of military force in advance of any
real or apparent need of it can only
have one explanation to those who
know of the ready disposition of in
trenched capital to use the public
functions to further its own selfish
ends.

DAUGHERTY SEES THINGS

Attorney General Daugherty is
quoted in the public press as "un-
officially" declaring his belief in the
existence of "conspired or inspired
relationship between the coal and
railroad strikes, but is yet unable to
obtain sufficient proof to begin legal
proceedings against the conspirators.
While this statement is a sad COM
mentory on the attorney generals
secret service system, headed by that
"great" detective, William ]. Burns,
the statement is sufficient for the
subsidized press, citizens alliance
press agents and publicity bureaus of
manufacturers associations.
These institutions will now proceed
to manufacture sentiment along the
lines suggested. This sentiment can
then be capitalized if it is necessary
to use the mailed fist.

USE OF THE ARMY

All intelligent men know that a fair
measure of military force is necessary
to every nation. There are emergen-
cies in connection with the exercise
of rightful governmental functions
which fairly call for it's use. The
suppression of public outbreaks of dis
order threatening the public welfare
are among these.
However, it is always a serious
menace to the liberties of the people
to use this military force, upon false
assumption of public change, set up
in anti-union propaganda, to overawe
those who in a united movement are
they open up others vastly greater and
ing pay and just and fair working
conditions. 1t is an old trick of tyr
anny-this threat of the army against
imagined dangers and exaggerated
incidents or disorder, which often
only exist in the partisan charges of
selfishly designing capitalists. 1t is
a fine plan of brow-beating labor out
of it's fair contentious at the public
expense The autocrats of imperial
ism taught its efficacy in less polite
applications in the days of czardom.
Just now it's snowy threats in the

MINGOIZING COAL FIELDS


eve hardly think that Mr.. Har-
ding intends to Mingoize the whole
of the central competitive field" says
the Baltimore Evening Sun in a lead
ing editorial on the presidents move
to open the mines.
"The president could doubtless or
der the mines opened, and then see
that there were sufficient soldiers and
machine guns and barbed wire en-
tanglements and all the rest of it to
keep the strikers cowed. Then, if the
operators could find the workers, we
might conceivably get coal.
"We submit that such a course,
which is apparently that which is pro-
posed to Mr.. Harding and even press
ed upon him, does not bear the ear
marks of very profound statesman
ship.
"We should have learned by this
time that battles settle very little.
And that if they settle one question,
seeking to enforce their right to liv-
more dangerous.
"Mingo county has had martial law
longer than we like to remember, and
Mingo county is now one of the sore
spots of the country.
Before adopting the advice of the
ever-present and ever-tempting fire
eaters, let Mr.. Harding look again at
Mingo and ask himself what has been
accomplished there"

LABOR IN THE PRESIDENTS
CABINET

Where is labor in the presidents
cabinet, is the question heard often
these days. Nowhere, we might say.
There is department of labor headed
by Secretary Davis, but Davis isn't a
laboring man, nor does he come from
or represent labor Mr.. Davis is
good enough fellow in his way but he
doesn't weigh enough, nor is he strong
enough to let the other members of
the cabinet know that there is such a
thing as labor. "Big Biz" in a
smooth, oily manner slid Herbert
Hoover in and brushed Davis aside so
that labor's cause today, SO far as
the presidents cabinet is concerned, is
in the hands of the employers vicar.
So that there is really no spokes-
man for labor in the cabinet.
There are men acquainted with in
dustrial problems, but from the other
side, not labor's side. Of these, An
drew Mellon, secretary of the treas
ury, at the time of his appointment,
if not now, was known as one of the
largest coal operators in the country.
He is also reputed to be the second
richest man in the country.
Then there is Attorney General
Daugherty-
Secretary of the Navy DENLY is a
large automobile manufacturer. He
discharged several thousand navy
yard workers with 80 minutes no.
tice.
Secretary of War Weeks is big
broker in Boston.
Secretary Fall is a big mine owner
and cattleman.
Now in the name of all that is good
and fair, after going over the above
list, where would you say that labor
comes in?

the above master minds" close to

government, as operator, would sit at

Petersburg, Pa.-The circuit court
has checked evictions of striking coal
and railroad men from the company
houses of the Davis Coal Company.
This corporation has been issuing
orders to tenants to "get out" imme-
diately, with the result that families
have been forced to live in barns,
garages and tents. This form of
eviction was upheld by justice of
the peace, but the circuit court rules
that the law must be complied with,
and 30-days' notice given to tenants.
