High Lumber Cost
Caused by Greed

Seattle-The boasted "high cost of
labor" as a reason for hiph lumber
costs has been discredited by officers
of the International Union of Timber
Workers.
These trade unionists show that the
labor cost is 80 cents on 1000 shin
giles that were retailed in the east for
SO, while 10 per cent went to labor,
SO per cent went to mill nrofit, the
brokers and the railroads.
Several months ago a shingle pack
er placed note in bundle of shin
giles, asking the ultimate consumer to
inform him how much the shingles
cost him. The shingle packer re-
ceived letter from Westport, Conn.,,
which stated the writer hid SO per
1000 for $4,000 shingles.
"1t might be of interest to know
how much of this SO went to shingle
mill labor, how much to the timber
barons, and how much went for mill
profit, the brokers and railroads." the
unionists saw.
Based on widely varyinp condi-
tions, Vie average cost of shingle mill
labor is 80 cents per 1000 shingles.
The average timber cost is $2.35 per
1000, which in this case will leave
$, per 1000 that went to mil
"roft, the brokers and railroads.
"The total cost to the consumer in
this case was $720. Out of Ills $720,
to shingle mill labor went $72, or only
10 per cent; to the timber barons went
$188, or 26.1 ~"r cent: to mill profit,
the brokers and railroads went $3.50,
or 63 per cent.
"In other words, the mill owners,
brokers and railroads received about
GA times as much as went to shingle
mill labor; the timber barons received
over &c times as much as shingle mill
labor, or 80 per cent of the cost to the
consumer.
Timber costs in this case were fig
ured on price paid to the timber
barons by the mills that own no tim
Der, but who must buy logs in the
omen market. N casese where the
mills own their timber the timber cost
is much lower and the margin of profit
much greater"

Big Profits Get By
Tax Receipts Less

Washington-The treasury reports
that this years taxes are $4O8, ,2O5,-
Ala less than last year. Among the
decreases income and profits taxes
lead. Those items brought only $685.
434 AGA in October. The same month
last year they brought $42,250,297.
This tax receipt slump can be traced
in large measure to the repeal of the
excess profits tax and the lowering of
the higher ratings of the income tax.
Recently IL was announced IN Wall
street that within 80 days Al corpo-
rations divided $1,119,0OO,OO0 in cash
and stock dividends.
The present UNPARALLELED distribu-
ton of cash and stock dividends indi-
cate the nrosperity for the compare
tive few
While the excess profits tax has
been repealed the incomme tax law
authorizes the secretary Of the treas
ury to levy a 25 per cent tax on the
annual profits of a corporation which
permits it's profits to accumulate be
yond the reasonable needs of the bus
mess" The secretary of the treasury
has levied on none of these profits,
which are being hastily distributed
mostly as stock dividends before the
new congress can place tax on huge
undivided surpluses.
These stock dividends are the best
proof o. inordinate profits, and since
they have been legalized by the United
States supreme court they are the
avenue by which privilege escapes
taxation. Stock dividends also mean
that the public is comnelled to pay
excessive profits that will provide new
capital instead of stockholders, who
should contribute this capital.

$50 DRUGGISTS FACE
LIQUOR PERMIT Loss
Dry Agents Seize Hundreds
of Cases, of Whisky
in Transit.
CONSPIRACY is ALLEGED
Officials Charge That Retail
ers Are Selling Rum to
Bootleggers.
CONSPIRACY is ALLEGED

One hundred retail druggists In
Manhattan have been cited for revoca-
ton Of their permits to handle liquor
and fifty names will be added to the
list within the next few days. 1t was
announced yesterday by Ralph A. Day.
State Prohibition Director. :.
Prohibition officials said the action
against the druggists is taken IN an
attempt to clean up the retail drug
business here of bootlegging practices
and graft in liquors. The charges IN
clude selling without physicians pre-
scriptions or otherwise illegally and
acting In conspiracy with bootleggers
to obtain liquor from bonded ware
houses and distilleries on forged with
drawal permits.
The citation of the druggists followed
an investigation of an alleged con-
spiracy OF 200 or more pharmacists mere
to withdraw hundreds Of cases OF
whisky from five distilleries in Kentucky
and Pennsylvania. The plot was dis-
covered in time to seize most of the
liquor in express offices before t
reached the consignees. Prohibition Of
ficials said the druggists had paid more
than 100000 in advance for the whisky.
Mr.. Day said many druggists in New
York have been accepting forged With
drawal permits from bootleggers ana
have been allowing the use OF the firms
names in presenting the permits at
warehouses. The law requires that the
permits must be signed and presented
by a person or firm with a permit to
deal in liquor. In this way. II was said.
hundreds of cases have been withdrawn.
with the bootleggers obtaining the
liquors at prices much under what they
would have had TO pay IN the open rum
running market.
The names of the druggists will be
made public. Mr.. Day said. as soon as
the recommendations for revocation of
their permits have been approved by the
Prohibition Department
Prohibition officials also said they
were tightening up on wholesale drug
concerns and were allowing no lots of
liquor to be withdrawn until they were
certain the submitted permits were au-
thentic and that the liquor was to be
used legally. Eight whole esale druggists
were cited last week for revocation Of
their permits.

Roads Here Say Men Are Going
Back With Backbone of
Wa.-lout Broken.
WORKERS MAKE DENIALS
Women Relatives Of Long ISL
and Employees Reported as
Influencing Return.

Yesterday marked the crucial test Of
the strength OF the railroad shopmen
in the New York district, according to
the operating executives. who declared
that the backbone Of the strike had
been broken and that the men were
slowly going back to work. Conditions,
the managers said, would improve
from now on.
While the strike leaders denied that
there was any basis for the optimism
of the general managers and con-
tended that about 500 more workers
quit yesterday. bringing the total in
the district to about $4,000. according
to their estimates. 1t was evident that
the news that Bert NJ. Jewell, in Chi
cago, had indicated a willingness to
negotiate acted as a damper to their
enthusiasm.
The only official statement issued
by the strike leaders consisted Of an
explanation of the relation between
the shopmen and the maintenance of
way employees emphasizing the fact
that shopmen's strike would not Of
necessity tie up the roads for some
time. Some of the managers regarded
the statement as an excuse for the
strikers failure to tie up traffic to
date.
