ORGANIZATIONS MUST
ASK TAX EXEMPTION
FOR ENTERTA AILMENTS

Warning was issued Tuesday to all
have been conducting benefit enter
tainments, and those VINO contemplate
such public affairs, that unless appli
cation be made and excepted by fed
eral authorities for exemption from
the regular internal revenue tax law,
such revenue will be due and collect
able by the agents of the internal
revenue department.
TIH warning came as a forerunner
of the coming season of benefit enter
tainments which are slated for Rich
mond and vicinity. Schools, lodges,
fraternal organizations, churches and
charitable organizations are some of
those which fall within the pale of
the law. The warning states that no
matter what the nature of the bene-
fit entertainment or gathering, when
ever there is admission charged, those
conducting the entertainment must
first have filed application for exemp-
ton from the tax and have received
the approval of the exemption au-
thorities Otherwise they are subject
to the tax. Dances and basketball
games, as well as other athletic con-
tests and entertainments generally,
are subject to the revenue tax law, it
is said.
Provision of Act
The extract of the. revenue act of
1918, title eight, section 800 of which
is appended to the application for ex-
emption states that no tax shall be
levied under the title of internal reve-
nue. on entertainments in respect to
any admissions all the proceeds OF
which exclusively go to the benefit of
religious, educational or charitable in
stitutions but provides that those con-
Quoting such entertainments shall
| first make the necessary application
for exemption and receive the consent
of the authorities. The reason given
for the warning is that many organi-
cations have not made this application
in the past and were indignant when
| the proper authorities called for the
tax provided for by the revenue act.
Those wishing to make the applica
ton for exemption from the revenue
tax for benefits should make applica
ton to George Matthews, 524 South
West A street, who is the local deputy
collector, or to the state revenue of
flee, at Indianapolis.

DEMILITARHINC OF
AEGEAN SEA ISLANDS
BEFORE CONFERENCE
tBy Associated Press,

LAUSANNE, Nov. 28.-Plans for de-
the islands of the Aegean
Sea were discussed today by the sub
commission of the Near East peace
to which this problem has
been entrusted. The economic COM
mission this afternoon will consider in
a general way, the economic problems
connected with the Turkish peace, pre-
paratory to the examination of these
questions in greater detail in the sep
arate sub-commission.
A deadlock still exists in regard to
Turkeys Asiatic boundaries, and no
meeting has been called for further
discussion of this tangled problem
which is much complicated by Great
Britain's mandate in Mesopotamia, and
the insistence of the Turkish delegates
that the Mosul oil fields belong to
Turkey. Christian RakoVsky, Soviet
representative, called on Lord Curzon
and the delegates of the other inviting
powers today and intimated that un'
less Russia is granted general adm1s-
sion to the conference Foreign Minis
ter Tchitcherin, who is now in Berlin,
will not come to Lausanne.

men MUST DO MORE
THAN BREAK EVEN"
With WAGES, DAVIS
fRv Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. 28.-
Wages which enable labor only to
break even and the 12-hour day which
he said prevails in mines in Nevada,
Montana, Arizona and New Mexico,
were denounced by Secretary of Labor
Davis in an address last night before
the Loyal Order of Moose. He said
President Harding wished to reduce
the length of the work day in those
states.
Mr.. Davis quoted the president as
having said that workers should be
paid sufficient to enable them to es-
tablish a home, to obviate struggle
for existence and to make possible
putting aside NEST egg"
Turning to immigration, the secre-
said: "There is a great misunderstand-
ing about President Harding's idea OF
immigration We really welcome i'm
migration from Holland, Denmark,
Norway, Sweden, Great Britain and
France. Those countries have not ex-
hausted their quotas for the last two
years."
When they have exceeded their
quotas, Mr. Davis declared 1t would be
time to consider repeating the three
percent immigration law of 1920, the
repeal of which he said is now sought
by certain forces in this country. Mr
Davis said that he has been supervis'
| ing the drafting of a bill to be pre-
| scented at the December session OF
congress, which would require blood
mental. physical and moral test or all
nersons who declared their intention
| to sail for America.

An appeal to the nation Ito look cold,

we may not again engage in army con-
fIict," marked an address delivered
here today by General Pershing under
the auspices of the American Defense

cation of war but none of US can tell
whether we shall have war in five, 10

''If we knew now to certainty that
armed conflict would come in 20 years
there would be an immediate demand
for preparations. Yet that is the ap-
proximate interval that we have had
in the past between major wars.
There is no reason to think that the
immediate future will bring about a
cessation of war even though it was
said that We entered the World wal
