Lewis Asks Public to Back Miners
in Wage Battle.
BY the Associated Press.

SCRANTON, Pa, June -2S.-TakinR
the gavel as permanent chairman OF
the anthracite mine workers conven-
ton today. International President
John Ia Lewis of the United Mine
workers in a keynote speech declar-
ed that economic conditions and the
prosperity of the country justified the
unions policy of no wage reductions.
The hard coal diggers, President
Lewis said, are approaching the COM
ing wage negotiations in no spirit of
apprehension and with no desire to
bring about suspension of the
mines. The miners, he added, recog-
niEed the paramount necessity to ne-
gotlate satisfactory wage agree
ment to keep tho mines in operation.
See Responsibility.
The United Mine Workers. President
Lewis said, recognize that they have
responsibility to the public, but the
public in return should exercise some
diligence to see that the miners re-
ceive fair deal"
President Lewis said the coal opera
tors have made up the losses of last
years strike. and declared that rep
utable statisticians had figured out
that the failure of operators to make
had added scores of millions to the
profits of the coal companies. The
United Mine Workers. Mr.. Lewis as
serted. "disclaim any responsibility
for the looting of the public pocket
book" President Lewis said IL was

gotiations. In this connection a let

TAXES COLLECTED
Notable Increase Over Last
Year to Be Reported to
Commissioner.

When the fiscal year closes Satur-
day. Collector Chatham NJ. Towers
will be able to report to Commits
sioner Rudolph an increase of more
than s2,000,00 in taxes collected over
the last fiscal year.
On June 81, Mr.. Towers books
showed that the people of Washing
ton had paid in sl8,171,859.27 to meet
their so per cent of maintaining the
city this year, which is far in excess
of what officials expected. With nine
days of the fiscal year still to be
heard from, the Anal figure will be
still greater.
On June 80, last year, tax collec-
tions amounted to only s1S.sss,ss2.23.
To Fix Tax Rate.
The increase in this years revenue
will be an important factor to Mai.
Daniel J. Donovan. auditor. when he
fixes the tax rate next week for the
new fiscal year. Although it is too
early for city officials to make definite
predictions, indications are that a
lower tax rate will be possible. The
present rate is s1.30 per 500 of as
sessed value.
The unprecedented increase in the
number of automobiles in Washing
ton played it's part in swelling tax
collections. The records of Wade H
Coombs. superintendent of licenses
show that he has taken in 100000
more than was collected from licenses
last year.
This increase is due almost entirely
to automobiles. approximately 1O0,-
600 tags were sold during the past
twelve months, netting 100000 in
revenue. Last year only $4,000 was
deriyed from automobile tags.
Duplicate Permits Issued.
Washington motorists are rather
careless In keeping their automobile
operator permits, judging from the
fact that Mr.. Coombs had to issue
5,406 duplicate permits during the
year, at so cents each. He also is
sued 1859 duplicas, tags.
The unusual increase in the amount
Of taxes collected this year is re-

And. according 10 Assessor Rich
ards, the total assessment of all real

excess of the past years total assess
ments. The assessed value of all real
estate for the past year was

T0SE|zE VESSELS
Thinks Such Policy Would
Bring Early Decision on
Legality Of Action.

The increasing number of foreign
ships which are docking in American
waters with more liquor than permit
ted under the Supreme Court ruling
has brought government officials to
the point of considering application
of the provisions Of the volstead act
for seizure Of the vessels.
No announcement OF the govern
ment's decision on the question has
been made, but high officials are said
to feel that the present situation can
not be tolerated much longer. If a
decision is reached to promulgate a
new Treasury regulation putting into
effect the seizure requirements Of the
Volstead act, which is said to have
been drafted, adequate notice will be
given to foreign governments, IT is
understood.
Conferences Held.
The situation has been considered
in by Secretary Hughes and other
State Department officials; Acting
Secretary Gilbert of the Treasury and
Assistant Secretary Moss, in charge
of customs; Commi ssioner Blair of
the internal revenue bureau and Com
missioner Haynes, Assistant Commits
sioner Jones and Chief Counsel Britt
of the prohibition unit.
Reluctance to invoke the enforce
ment laws ship seizure provision is
explained by officials as being due
to a desire to avoid serious interna- =
tional disputes and to give the ship
ping lines chance to determine in
their courts whether they have a right
to bring into American waters bev-
erage liquors under the seals of their
governments. No test case has been
brought, however, and Ii Is believed
that the seizure Of a ship would re-
suit in an early judicial decision on
the problem.
Treasury officials today again con-
ferred over the proposal to apply. the
confiscatory provisions of the Vol
stead act to the liQuor-carrying lin
ers, and 1t was indicated afterward
that there would be no decision for
the present. Reports from abroad
have indicated that in some cases
the foreign ship lines voluntarily are
abandoning the policy of bringing in
toxicants into American waters under
seal and should this change OF con-
duct became general, it was pointed
out. there would be no need to resort
to confiscatory measures.

Corporation Counsel Stephens to-
day advised the Commissioners that in
his opinion there does not appear to
be necessity at this time for prohib-
iting the all-night parking OF auto
mobiles in front of residences.
Mr.. Stephens called attention to the
fact that the courts have refused to
hold persons who have parked their
automobiles on the streets in front
of their dwellings when arralgned
under an existing regulation. which
says:
mo part of any street shall be used
for the keeping, depositinss. storing.

THE courts hold 1t an unreason-
able exercise of the police power

hibit the parking of automobiles in

night when such is not prohibited tn

counsel.

that he was not convinced that the

conclusion that the evidence which
the defendants would be able to sub
