LARGE INHERITANCE TAX.

LARGE In INHERITANCE IAN.
The heirs Of Eugene r. Day
wealthy northern Idaho mine
operator, who died in February,
1922, paid to the state $23 1864
in inheritance taxes. The gross
amount of the estate as filed
with State Auditor E. G.. Gallet,
was 81, 754,052; from this, $431,-
581 in debts was deducted. The
balance was decreased by $467,-
534, the community interest of
Agnes Loretta Day, his widow,
and $147,439, the administra-
ton costs, leaving $707,68 on
which the transfer tax was paid.
Harry L. Day and Jerome J.
Day, brothers, and Eleanor
Bernice Boyce and Blanch Ellis,
sisters, each received equal
shares of the estate, or S178,921,
and each paid a tax Of $5841.
This transfer tax, added to the
$44 ,248 received recently from
the estate of John Broadbent,
Boise millionaire, makes more
than S67 900 the state has re-
ceived in inheritance tax in two
months. This exceeds all col
lections made during a similar
period in the history of Idaho.

l don't indorse that traffic
law which holds me down to

so l drive my creaking van with

through any laws because we do
not like the same, from virtues
path we then withdraw, and play
an anarchistic game. The law
prohibits stealing hens, and
though this fills my soul with

"Section z of article II of the con
stitution of the United Mine Workers
of America defines eligibility to mem
bership in the union. That section
says:
mo applicant shall be eligible
for initiation until he has started
to work at a mine under the jusis-
dietion of the local union where
application for membership is
made"
Under that provision, no man can
become a member of the United Mine
Workers of America until he has first
been employed by a coal operator.
The coal operators Of this country
have hired 100000 more miners than
are needed in the industry. The
operators, not the union, dragged
these 100000 surplus men into the
mines. They now admit the folly of
this policy and seek to shift the blame
upon the shoulders of the union.
"Onee the operator hires a man to
work in his mine, the union takes him
in as a member, if he will join. But
the union can not take him in until
the operator has given him a job.
IF these operators do not want SO
many men in the industry, then why
do they not cease hiring more and
more men all the time ?"

HERE'S EXAMPLE
OF WHAT UNION
MEANS TO YOU

By International Labor News Service.
Washington, ID. C.-While brick
layers in some of the larger cities of
the United States are receiving from
$40 to SD day with time and half
for overtime, brick and clay workers
in Sayreville, N. j., are striking to
raise wages twenty per cent above the
present scale of $3.04 to 1910.
The. lowest wages in the industry
have been paid by the Sayre- Fisher
Company of Sayreville, and for seven
ty-five years the workmen have sub
mitted without protest to the low
wages and the poor conditions under
which they work.
Ten months ago the United Brick
and Clay Workers Local No. 39l
was organized with seventy-five per
cent of the employees in the Union.
When the increase in wages and an
agreement between the Union and the
men demanded a twenty per cent firm
Tor one year, it developed into a
strike. Now the workmen are 100 per
cent organized, and all six hundred

l67,6S6 proof gallons in the first four
months of 1922, which, by working on
the same average, would amount to
503,O5S proof gallons for the entire
year. (The 1922 figures also include
the exports to British Guiana.) The
exports from the United Kingdom to
the West Indies, Bahamas and British
Guiana for the first four months of
1923 We're 350,311 proof gallons,
which If maintained at the same rate
for the entire year, would amount to
l,05O,933 proof gallons. If the en-
tire amount was smuggled into the
United States, it would equal less
than threefourths of one per cent of
the taxpaid liquor Withdrawals for
consumption In the United States for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1918,
which amounted to lac, 2S9 ,424.S gal
Ions.
"The exports from the United
Kingdom to Mexico in 1913 were a.
465 proof gallons, and in 1921 1.-THE
latest figures available) reached a.
S45 proof gallons.
"Allowing none for home use, if
the entire amount of exports of dis
titled spirits from the United King
dom to the Bahamas, West Indies and
Canada in 1928, be added to the i'm
ports of Mexico in 1921, (the latest
figures available) and smuggled into
the United States, the total would be
about one and one-fourth per cent of
the taxpaid liquor Withdrawals for
consumption for the fiscal year of
1913.
THE Withdrawals of taxpaid dis
titled spirits for consumption in the
United States, exclusive of alcohol,
Tor the fiscal year ending June 30,
l922, were 1896, 1856 proof gallons,
and including alcohol totaled l9,0S7,-
oo5.2 proof gallons. These taxpaid
liquors are used for manufacturing
purposes, for use in hospitals and
liquors sold on doctors prescriptions.
The total taxpaid Withdrawals for the
calendar year of 1922 amountd to
l3,477,2l9.1l proof gallons. Even if
this were added to the possible snug
gled goods, the amount would be
negligible compared with the pre-
prohibition consumption.
While an American proof gallon of
distilled spirits is measured by the old
Winchester gallon and contains so
per cent alcohol, the proof gallon of
Great Britain contains 57.06 per cent
Of alcohol.
1T is readily seen that there is less
occasion to worry over rum fleet
smugglers than over the domestic
connection of fraudulent spirits. If a
greater amount is struggled than
these figures show, it is certain that
expansion comes By means of adulter-
alton and rectifeation. or is synthetic
stuff struggled cut and in again"

COAL NINE OWNERS
ARE BLAMED. FOR
SURPLUS MINERS

Washington, June 1.-THE charge
that the United Mine Workers of
America are responsible for 100000
surplus coal miners is declared a
"baId-faced misleading statement" by
a committee representing that union,
in a communication to the United
States coal commission.
The charge is "amateurish" and it
is issued by group of anti-union BIZ
luminous coal owners, who would
have the public believe "that the min
ers' union reaches out and drags in
men from anywhere and everywhere
in order to increase its membership"
the miners say.
The commission is told that coal
owners themselves determine just
how many members the United Mine
Workers of America shall have; they
determine just who shall become
members of this union; they deter
mine just who shall not become mem
bers of the union they are response
bic for the size and character of the
membership.

HOW THE AMERICAN FEDERATION
OF LABOR OPERATES; HOW ITS
INCOME IS RAISED AND SPENT
By SAMUEL GOMPERs
On Labor Information)
PART II.

The American Federation Of Labor
lives and conducts its work on the IN
come Of enc cent per member per
month.
Compared to the income and ex-
penditure of organizations Of similar
scope among employers the income
and expenditures OF the American
Federation Of Labor is small.
Only in the most exceptional cases
does the American Federation Of La
Dor secure income other than the in
come already shown. When authorized
bv the conventions, held yearly, "A
special assessment may be levied, but
this is seldom done.
Elsewhere comparison is made be-
tween the financial turnover of the
American Federation of Labor and
the financial turnover of some of the
organizations Of employers. The en-
ployers' organizations cited are per
haps not the best examples. but it
was not possible to make comparison
with the best examples, because there
is not the best examples, but it was
not possible to make comparison with
the best examples, because there Is
either no information available about
their finances or they are not so
raised and accounted for as to make
comparison possible.
Il is not possible, for example. to
know how much money per worker is
raised by the National Association of
Manufacturers. In the cases of some
employers organizations there are
secret funds which make proper COM
parison impossible. The American
Federation Of Labor has no secret
funds. Public accounting for all
funds is made yearly at the time of
the convention and in detail in quar-
terly reports submitted to the affiliat-
ed organizations. Every dollar re-
ceived from every source and for
every purpose, and every dollar eX-
pended and to whom paid, Is pub
lished in every detail,
All of the moneys of the American
Federation of Labor are expended for
purposes which are made known an
nually. Aside from the purposes al

of them are waiting for the employers
to listen to reason.
A willingness to increase wages
ten per cent indicated that the men
might have increased their wages
long ago merely by the act of organ
ization. But the company would not
go any farther toward the twenty
per cent increase, IN spite of the
Unions willingness to- compromise
with a fifteen per cent increase.
The company has been short 300
men for some time because of its re-
fusal to raise wages. They could run
their plant at full capacity and make
money by attracting a full force
through twentyq per cent increase.
They are not that kind of employers,
however. They are the kind that are
talking about the labor shortage and
the need of bringing cheap labor into
the United States from Europe. Such

ready shown, moneys are expended
for such routine work as the purchase
Of supplies, publishing pamphlets,
publishing the American Federation
Of Labor Weekly News Service, eX-
penses of the yearly convention, tray-
cling expenses Of officers and or
ganizers, expenses Of the Executive
Council in attending quarterly meet
ings, expenses Of fraternal delegates
10 other conventions an for pub
licity work, information gathering,
research. educational and statistical
work.
One phase Of Labor's work remains
its political activity. The Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor National
Non Partisan Political Campaign
Committee, authorized by the conyen-
ton, raises money by appeal for
voluntary contributions. These, in
the campaign of 1922, amounted to
about $1,000.
The conventions of the American
Federation of Labor exercise final
anil supreme authority in all matters
including the raising and expending
of moneys. A. +. Of l.. conventions
offer the freest forum in the world.
No other organizations, no matter
where located, offer such complete
freedom of expression or operate on
lines so thoroughly democratic. Any
delegate may offer any proposal or
any resolution. All proposals and
resolutions so offered are referred to
appropriate committees which are re-
quired TO report thereon TO the CON
Vention. When report is made to the
convention all delegates have equal
opportunity for discussion. There can
be no burial of resolutions in COM
mittee and every point of view is en-
titled to and receives opportunity for
expression.
The American Federation of Labor,
it will be seen, has no enormous
funds, its financial operations are
more than moderate and its records
are public.
1t has been a source of wonderment
to many that so much is achieved on
an income so slight.
