Tax Escaping Millions
Are Due for Cut

WASHINGTON, Feb. ga gift
tax to end evasions of the inherit
lance tax probably will be written
into the new revenue bill today by
the acknowledgements coalition
in the House.
Republican leader Longworth said
that it is well known that John d.
Rockefeller, Jr., now holds $780,
100000 in Standard Oil and other
securities, presumably gifts from his
father. This is the situation the
coalition wants to reach by the new
tax.
At the request of Representative
Garner, Texas, ranking Democrat on
the Ways and Means Committee,
Chairman Green will revise his gift
tax amendment, providing the same
rates as the inheritance tax adopted
yesterday.
Green's amendment provides a one
per cent levy on gifts between $10,-
900 and $4,000 graduated to 10
per cent on amounts over $4,000.
Garner proposes to start the tax at
one, per cent on $4,000, increasing
to 40 per cent on $10,000,000.
II the gift tax can be disposed Of
today, the excise taxes will be taken
up. A bitter fight impends over the
amendment of Representative Clan
cy, Michigan, to cut in half the five
per cent levy on auto trucks and
accessories.

a certain job IN the interest OF
big business"
Spy Out Radicalism.
A very special part of this certain
job is performed by the deans of
women in the schools. (The
art of deaning is spreading to fac
tories employing women workers.)
They keep watch over the girls. They
are on the lookout for all sorts of
things that may make the college
unpopular with the public.
A girl with radical opinions may
make herself too notorious thereby.
She gets a talk on good form from
the dean. Perhaps that does not
squelch the young agitator. Then
the dean may be able to fasten some
sex scandal or rumor Of scandal upon
her and force her into silence or out
of school. Two girl students, one at
Wisconsin, were recently expelled for
marrying while still in school. "Not
because they married, but because
they eloped, which we do not approve
of" one dean explains.
Deans Use St0olpigeons.
How the deans get hold of their
information was a secret jealousy
guarded at the convention. At last
a former dean at Northwestern Uni,
versity broke the ice by admitting
that she used all information brought
to her by volunteer spies among the
students. It was freely admitted
that the dean Of men at Pennsylvania

that his company had no right

however, decided unanimously
to go into all records and Taft

Before the committee went into

Following statement:
THE chair will state that the ses-

determine which of these kilograms
are relevant and which are not. Those
which are found to be relevant will
be read in public session later"
Before the meeting Walsh said he
had no present intention of summon
ing Attorney-General Daugherty for
questioning about his dealings in Sin

Lenroot indicated no move would
be made in this direction until after
the examination of brokers' books
had been completed.
Walsh also announced he had no

Walsh said he had told his clerk to
issue a subpoena for G.. d. Wahlberg.

Wahlberg will be questioned about
references he made in previous testi-

was an employe in the Sinclair Office
but because of recent developments
they wished to make certain of his
identity.

100 SHOPS HIT
BY GENERAL
STRIKE HERE
Ladies' Garment Workers An
nOunCG Big Walk Out

1t is planned to have the gem
eral strike of the International
Ladies' Garment Workers I'm
ion called this morning. The
strike, when called, will affect
10000 workers, most of them
girls and women, working in
the dress and waist shops of
Chicago.
Ever since it was decided to
call a strike unless the bosses
conceded the demands of the
union the workers have been
impatiently awaiting the word
that would mean that they
would walk out of the shops.
The strike will also involve 5000
cloak makers. all of whom are men.
They will go on strike in order to
protect the women strikers against
the violence Of the bosses hired
thugs. They have already been or
ganized into committees who will
protect the pickets and see to it
that no violence occurs. They win
remain on strike only long enough
to assure themselves and the women
workers that no trouble will = be
sought by the bosses.
All arrangements have been made
to take care of the strikers. Halls
have been rented in the various dis
tricts in which the waist and dress
shops are located.
In the downtown district six halls
have been rented at 1870 w. Wash
ington st. and three halls at 20 w.
Randolph st.
Workers in the Northwest section
of the city will meet at Schoenhof-
ems Hall, Milwaukee Ave. and Div
ision St. Workers on the West Side
will meet at the West Side Auditor
ium at Racine Ave. and Taylor st.
Leaflets giving the details of the
strike arrangements have been
printed and will be put in the hands
Of the shop chairmen Of the various
shops to give out when the strike
is called. All workers viii be in
structed to go at once to the near
est hall and register.
The strike will be called after
more than a months unsuccessful
negotiations between some of the
bosses and the union. Most Of the
bosses have refused to take any part
in the negotiations. The shops that
have union help want to continue the
agreement that is now in force for
another year but the union demands
a new agreement.
The union is demanding the five-
day 40-hour work week on the basis
Of a. hours. They also demand UNI
employment insurance.
The Chicago garment workers win
have the backing of the international
union in their strike. The strike
will be in charge Of a strike com.
mittee recently elected to carry on
negotiations with the bosses and cali
a strike if the negotiations fail.
The strike when it is called will
be the biggest thing that has hap
pened to the union here since the
general strike in Vhe industry in
1917. The 1917 strike was called
because the conditions In the in
dustry had become intolerable for
the workers. Union officials say the
same conditions exist today.
The union has not the industry
organized thoroly, they admit but
they are confident that they will be
able to get all the workers in the
trade to respond TO the strike call.
One of the main concerns of the
union will be to protect the work.
