LABOR HALTS WORK RETURN
Union Men, strikebreakers Battle In
G. N. E. st. p. Roundhouse.

B Chicago-Clashes between union
and non-union workers, squabbles over
the terms of the Baltimore peace plan,
have halted the return of striking
shopmen to work in the shops here OF
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
and the North Western railroads.
The demands of returning strikers
for concessions which it was said were
not provided for in the peace agree.
ment were blamed for the disorders.
The most serious demonstration was
staged by several hundred mon at the
-Setonville round house Of the St.. Paul
where the strikers, arriving with their
lunch kits and overalls, were declared
to have set upon non-union workers
and refused to- work with them. :, A
free for all fight resulted in which
several persons were injured.

Jackson, Cal.-Not one Of the a
miners remained alive after the first
hours of the fire which broke out in

Aug. a.. They were driven from pass,
age to passage by the deadly fumes
Of gas and finally made last stand
on the 4,350-foot level of the mine be.
hind two make-shift :bulkheads. And
there, they gasped their last breath.
The men were alive but dying at
o'clock on the morning Of Aug. %. By
o'clock they were in the embrace OF
death, huddled. bodies lying still.
This is established by two notes,
one from William Fessel, miner and
chemist, and father.
Fessel's note was burned deep into
the wood on the bulkheads which the
men had frantically constructed. He
scared the wood with this message:
20 a. m. Gas very bad. We are 60.

A second note, pencilled scrawl,
was picked up on the wet floor of the
drift. It read:
"3 o'clock. Too much gas"

reasons. These included: -.
Failure of Congress to provide q

sum Of the public debt for distribution

France and Italy Break With
Great Britain on 1urko-
Greek War. $685.

Paris-The French cabinet unani
mously approved what Is character
lied as the pacific policy of Pre-
mier Poincare in the Near East and
the withdrawal of all the French
troops from Asia Minor to the French
side Of the Straits of the Dardanelles
The cabinet went firmly on record
as being opposed to any form of mill
tary action as means of settlement
In the Turko-G Greek situation.
The order for the withdrawal Of the
French troops from C,lanok in the
.Dardanenes area was sent by Premier
Pofncare and carried out Immediately
In Great Britain there is no dimin.
ution Of the excitement which the gov
ernment's declaration Of policy OF
force awakened and the matter is q
subject Of hot discussion.
The defense put forward by the gov.
ernment's advocates is that, far from
seeking war, 1t is doing It's utmost to
prevent one, and that to this end 1t
Is necessary to impress Mustapha
Renal Pasha with the fact that Great
Britain will not allow him to march on
Constantinople, enter Europe. overrun
Thrace and set the Balkans ablaze.
Meanwhile the activities of Mus
tapha Renal Pasha, are shrouded in
mystery. A Constantinople dispatch
reports his cavalry patrols reached
but did not cross the boundary of the
neutral zone and there is a report
that he is moving or preparing to move
his army northward.
The British preparations for this
contingency are foreshadowed by the
governments declaration to continue,
and orders have been issued to GER
tain forces to prepare for active serv-
ice, officers and men on leave being
summoned to quarters. The outcome
OF Foreign Secretary Curzon's discus
sions in Paris are eagerly awaited.
The Messaggero asserts that Italy
has decided to recall to Constantine
pie the small Italian contingent which
was sent with the British troops to
the neutral zone.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER %, 1922.
TREASURY DHrIo1lTt NOW. $780,
~ < 100000 Fl

About the only thing that is grow
ing larger under the present republican
administration is the treasury deficit
Beginning as mere matter of $24 ,0G2,
600 the deficit has risen rapidly t
500, 900, 900, with the prospect Tor 6
further enlargement to ten figures very
bright.
icans promised that their accession tt
control of the government would au
Dramatically increase revenues, reduce
debts and enhance prosperity. The
record for Augustine seventeenth
month of the Harding administration s
career-shows how badly the republi
cans fooled the public.
There was an increase of $65, OOO,OOC
in the public debt in August compared
with the previous month. It was due
in large part to the sale of treasury
securities, borrowing money to meet
current expenses 80 that an impression
of "eeonomy" could be given.
Along with the increase in the pub.
lie debt there was decline in re-
ceipts., The ordinary receipts last
month were $25, 100000 less than in
August, 1921. Public debt expendi.
lures were $215, 100000 greater in Aug
ust this year than in August last year.
Income tax receipts were $4,000, 900
less in August, 1922, than in the same
month Of 1921. Miscellaneous internal
revenue receipts for last month were
$12,O00,0O0 less than in August, 1921.

At the fifteenth annual conference
of the National Tax association held
in Minneapolis the past week j. g..
Armson, Minnesota tax commissioner,
stated that Minnesota taxes had IN
creased 22O percent during the last ten
years, while the taxable wealth has in
creased but 81 per cent. Though the
greater part Of this taxation has been
for betterments, the increase is too
great in relation to the increased
wealth and this showing does not bear
out the often heard statements that
expenditures make property more val
liable to the extent Of the cost or more.
Mr.. Armson further stated that while
formerly he was opposed to limitations
of any kind on taxation, he now be-
lieves that certain, restrictions should
DO, imposed and that, taxes should wait
until the tax payers ability to pay
them has caught up. While people
know that taxation has grown tremen.

In selecting birthday and Christmas
gifts for children in rural communities,
why not give pure-bred pig, calf, OF
other animals This is the suggestion
Of the United States Department Of
Agriculture, which. with the various
states, is conducting the "Better Sires
Better Stock" campaign. A recent
questioAnaire study Of the utility value
Of purebred live stock showed, among
other results, that home influence is an
important factor governing the breed
ing of superior domestic animals. III
fact, it ranks in importance next to
sales,,' fairs, and shows, taken co]lec.
lively. When parents show their inter-
est in good Stock, the children are
more likely to do so.
!, One breeder told Of receiving some
pure-bred live stock as wedding gift
from his father-in-law. That begin
ming was an important influence, which
resulted in an entire herd of well-bred;
profitable animals, practical inf1u-
ence in the couple IS prosperity and hap
piness.
Gifts Of good live stock, the depart
ment points out, are not only accept
able in themselves but with proper
handling multiply and give pleasure,
satisfaction, and financial benefits tor
an indefinite period.
