mine operators in Indiana are no
longer willing TO enter into an inter
state Joint wage conference with the
miners, and will now deal only with
the miners Of this state in effecting
a strike settlement. spokesmen for the

ment was contained in statement
issued last night by the policy COM
mittee OF the Indiana Bituminous
Coal Operators Association. Similar
action was taken recently by the
Illinois operators.
The statement predicts that Indiana
miners will soon meet with the state

only because they can not secure the
kind OF conference they demand and
one that 1t Is utterly impossible to
obtain because eastern operators re-

INCOME TAX RECEIPTS
DECREASE 50 PER CENT
All Collections Thus Far for
June Total Only $5O1,-
125.

Federal income tax receipts for the
district Of Delaware in payment OF the
second installment period which ended
last night at midnight, are estimated
so per cent lower than the correspond
ms collection period for 1921" Col
lector OF Internal Revenue John w.
Herring estimated. This decrease is
caused by the lower rates of tax. the
1921 business depression and the in
crease in the number Of full paid
accounts. This slump had been gen
orally predicted by the Treasury De-
pariment. and did not come as an un-
expected shock to Collector Herring
HIS estimates Will compare favorably
with the actual receipts. The total
collections for the June payment. in
Guiding amounts received in the mail
this morning Will amount 10 ap-
proximately s501.l25.
Although the collectors office re-
mained open last night. few taxpayers
took advantage of the opportunity Of
last minute payments The mail re-
ceived this morning was comparative
ly light. showing very little increase
over the usually daily correspondence
There was the usual rush of last min
ute payments by the big taxpayers
who walt until the fifteenth TO save
the interest. One check from an in
dividual was for $4,000. while a cor
poration paid $4,000 as a quarterly
installment. The usual number OF
small payments We're in evidence.
II was said that many taxpayers
had paid their taxes in full in March
instead of spreading the payments
over a year and Mr.. Herring consider
ed this condition in arriving at the
expected totals. Then. too. the in
crease in the exemptions under tho
new act and gencmfwyomfwyps
new act had a general tendency K
reduce the individual payments by h'
| largest class. the average taxpayer.
Officials said that there were no in
dications that there would be a grea
number of delinquent taxpayers, tn
falling OF in receipts WAS caused b.
decreasing earnings in 1921. Their
was every evidence that the taxpayer
were now able to meet their govern
ment obligations. because Of the sma1
number of requests for extension o
time for payment. Marked slumps Il
the receipts have always been heralde
BY such requests. even though tn
taxpayers know the collector is power
less TO grant such extensions. In fac
Collector Herring was pleased with tn
way local taxpayers responded wit
their payments. in general. "Th
slump does not appear TO be due I
neglect or csrelessness. but If the peo
pie do not owe the tax. they do no
pay" is the way he characterized tn
falling off in receipts.
On all delinquent payments. a pen
