Philadelphia, Pa.-Bitter condem-
nation of the so-called "Mitten, men
and management" plan of street rail
way operation is expressed in a reso-
luton adopted by the Central Labor
Union of Philadelphia and vicinity
The resolution is called forth par
ticularly by the strike of organized

the traction properties are owned by
Mitten interests.
The resolution adopted here con,

READY FOR BATTLE ROYAL
FORCES LINED UP IN ATTEMPTTO JAM THROUGH
SHIP SUBSIDY BILL BEFORE PRESENT
CONGRESS ADJOURNS
Final Struggle to Be Spectacular On Outcome Hinges
Growing Triumph Bitter Defeat For Both
Administration and High Finance

By International Labor News Service.
Washington.-Prep are well
under way for furious drive to put
through the ship subsidy bill before
the present congress adjourns on
March a.
Administration influence is being
brought to bear in every possible
manner in order to line up senators
for final action.
''We are being bent over bar
rel" said one senator when asked
about the ship subsidy measure.
Opponents of the bill are prepar-
ing themselves for a desperate fight.
They realize that they may be called
upon to conduct long filibuster if
they are to succeed in preventing pas
sage of the administration pet
proposition.
Legislation which must be got out
of the way before ship subsidy can
be brought to the floor is being dis
posed of with as much speed as ad-
ministration leaders can command.
There is no state of panic in the
ranks of those who oppose ship sub
sidy, but there is thorough realiza-
ton of the fact that if the subsidy
bill is to be prevented from passage
every bit of opposition must be
brought into action.
There is not only the influence of
the administration to be contended
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1923-02-09

with, but it is necessary to meet as
well the influence of the thoroughly
organized, lavishly financed lobbying
forces in Washington.
The ship subsidy bill is the out
standing measure now before con-
gress involving the interests of big
business. The administration is
committed absolutely to the measure.
The final struggle is likely to be
exceedingly spectacular and the at
tack will end in either the crowning
triumph or the most bitter defeat
for the administration and for high
finance and big business interests.

Resolved: That a copy of this reso-
luton be sent to all affiliated unions,
fraternal organizations, and civic So
cieties in sympathy with the princi-
pies and purposes of the American
Federation of Labor, asking that they
protest against this un-American
Mitten management, that invites men
to accept employment, under a widely
proclaimed so-called cooperative
plan, but in reality, denies them the
right of citizenship, and under the
struggle for daily bread, and the pet
ty intimidation of minor officials, are
reduced to a mental state where they
must act as scabs and strikebreakers
against the very workers who make
their own wages possible"

Latest advices are that mob rule

Elected officials and lawfully con-

their jobs.
In some places where there is a
show of lawful government there is
an unseen force that really rules.
In one case judge was member
of the forces directing mob action.
The innocence of Ed Gregor, the
slain union man, has been completely
established by three witnesses who
established an alibi of unquestioned
veracity.

$25O,OOO,OOO
In Ii Years Cleaned Up By
One Group of Standard
Oil

Washington.-Ro w. Stewart
of Chicago, an official of the Stand
ard Oil Company of Indiana, told the
senate oil investigating committee
that his group, since 1911, have clean
ed up $250,000,000 in profits, divided
$50, 100000 in cash dividends and re-
served $143,25o,oO0 for other forms
of divies.
One of these forms is the stock
dividend.
When the federal supreme court, in
the public interest" dissolved the
Standard Oil Company into its con-
stituent parts, of which the Standard
Oil Company of Indiana was one, the
market price of one share of stock
was $2,521.74. Today the market
price of one share is $37 200, a net in
crease of $34,678.28.
Mr.. Stewart told the senate COM
mittee that he did not regard the prof
it's of his company as unreasonable
The dissenting opinion of the SUI
preme court in the stock dividend case
we'll said:
eff stock dividends representing
profits are held exempt from taxa
ton under the sixteenth amendment
the owners of the most successful
businesses in America will be able
to escape taxation on large part OF
what is actually their income.
$50 far as their profits are rep
resented by stock received as div
idends they will pay these taxes not
upon their income, but upon the in
come of their income.
"That such result was intended by
the people of the United States when
adopting the sixteenth amendment is
inconceivable Our sole duty is tc
ascertain their interest as therein ex-
pressed"
