INDU S T r l Z )

Washington, March IA study Oh
women in Ohio industries, issued ps
lie United States women's bureau
d>p1aves the theory that women
marry and abandon their industrial
jobs. oh;o
Of the 1922 adult women in ono
industries who gave information about
marital status, 2S.4 per cent were
married and 17.2 per cent were wiz
oWed, separated or divorced, making
a tatal of 45.6 per cent who were or
had been married. In this con)ugai
Cup were reported more than one
half of the women in each of the foi-
living industries: Laundries, the
manufacture of auto tops, women 5
suits and coats, food products, pot
tery, rubber products, cordange, other
.extle. and tobacco and ci"ars. Single
women predominated strihngly IN D.

fastuIe Of electric products, shirts and

JAP UNIONS
ARE GROWING
IN MEMBERSHIP

By International Labor News Service.
Washington, d. c., March Il
The japanese magazine, Social Re
form. points out that the total trade
union membership of Japan Is now
about 100000, distributed over some
100 unions, the most important fed,
GRAFTON of these being. as Is well
known. the General Federation OF
Labor of Japan, Of which Mr.. Suzuki
is the general secretary. According
to the figures published by the Bu-
reau for Social Affairs in May 1923
the total number of workers in fac
tories and workshops was at that date
1,618,243. of whom S9s,2O2 were
women. The most important trade
groups were the following;
Miners. 81, SAC; railway men, 100,
157; seamen, 100000; military ana
naval arsenal workers, 57770.
Although the proportion of organ
ized workers is thus seen to be eX-
tremely small, yet considerable prog
ress has been made during l9z4 DolI
in membership and in the widening OF
trade union activity. One reason lor
this progress was the able campaign
conducted by trade union ieadefs
throughout the country; another was
the conversion of many members 81
friendly societies into trade unlonlsis
in order that they might be eligible
TO send a delegate TO the International
Labor Conference. Yet another factor
is the pros eet of manhood suffrage
which has encouraged japanese WORK.
ers TO believe in the possibility OF
raising their social, political and eco
nomic status.

CONSTABULARY
DUE TO FAIL
SAYS LEGISLATOR

The state eoustabulafy measure
u"on which Senator Dunlap has cen
tered his activities through two Ses-
sionS of the legislature, IS doomed 10
failure, according 20 information re
eeived directly from the state legisla-
ture at Springfield
II the information is to be accepted
as authoritative there is less chance Of
the bill passing than two years ago
when the opposition OF Organized
Labor proved is downfall.
This year the opposition appears 70
have erystalized along other lines.
and now the bin is deemed impraeti-
cal because II is not sufficiently far
reaching TO accomplish the desired
end.
Legislators have apparently seen
the futility OF mannin the state with
an insignificant force Of highway
patrolmen, such as is asked in the bill.

STRIKE GUARDS ESCAPE;

Roberts was chief of the guards at

latkyille plant of the Wheeling steel
corporation. He and Wolfe were
charged with firing into a crowd OF
strikers and killing Cost. Roberts was
I#aaa guilty of manslaughter, but the
eeoart Of appeals reversed the verdict,
Wolfe was never tried.
ffaSecutor Merryman said the ex-
ne Of another trial would be heavy,
and he thought" it was impossible to
convict Roberts, after the higher

LARGE INTER
ESTS EVADE
INCOME TAX

Washington, March lS.-An econ
omy program and Law enforcement
could be applied to the United States
treasury with benefit 10 taxpayers, ac-
cording TO evidence presented 10 the
CouZenS special investigating com
mittee of the senate.
II is shown that the Atlantic, Gulf
and West Indies Steamship company
was permitted to satisfy an assess
ment of S9,9i3.S41 for S2,600,000
Ii was also alleged that William
Boyce Thompson Of New York. a for.
mer chairman of the finance commit
tee of the Republican national COM
mittee, failed to make returns ON a
profit of 100000 on the sale of min
eral lands.
The attorneys for the senate com
mittee stated that the ship company
income had been understated and the
payment OF taxes eNaded by failure
to report profits on sale Of ships
reserves set up out of income; the
failure to capitalize permanent inn
provements, instead of which they
charged as expenses; excessive de-
probation charges and the failure e
Iepcrt on income profit resulting
from liquidation dividends paid by
the Mexican navigation company.
Senator Couzens, chairman of the
committee, said this was the most as
founding case he could possibly con-
ceive of.
II was also shown that the govern
ment lost at least S50,000,000 through
erroneous deduction allowances to bic
copper interests The Anaconda cop
per company was the largest benefci.
ary of this process. The committee.
experts showed that copper and sill
yer mine arrangements over-yaluet
their propertie sand treasury officials
used this as tax basis Subordln
ate officials favored revaluation n
silver mines, but this was stopped By
Secretary of the Treasury Mello nit
an order issued by him on April IL
last year.
Oil companies used the same meth.
ods to reduce their income tax pay
ments. These corporations "set up q
valuation for depletion purnoses which
is absurd in the extreme according
to consulting engineers for the senate
committee.
The steel trust and other corpora
tions were likewise favored, according
to evidence submitted TO the com
mittee.

The public is being educated TO the
theory that the law making branch
must be subordinate TO the executive;
that the latter shall be 'the man on
horseback" and that congress,
through majority rule. must gag
every protest and Jam through any
measure he proposes.
Any law maker who refuses to ae.
eept this process shall be denlef
patronage and shall be driven from

There is business In politics
now. II lbusinessl pro

That this policy Is non-partisan Il
indicated by John W. Davis, In his
acceptance speech at Clarksburg, W
Va, last summer.
An executive who can not or
will not lead, a congress that can
not and will not follow--how can
good government exist under such
conditions?"
An executive might be nodded 10
suit the wishes of reaction, but fear.

law-making branch can block special

To gag this minority II is necessary
10 revise the senate rules and create
the popular impression that the peo.

excess baggage that hampers tie

said existed under the government
OF Mexico before the lands were
ceded TO the United States.
The Indians were refused an in

which held that under the act Of

that all claims to title to the lands

within two years from the passage
