Ward Combine
Is Opposed by
the Government
Suit Filed in the Federal Court
at Baltimore Against
Big Trust

Baltimore, Md.-The govern
ment has started court proceed
ings to halt the Ward $2,O00,-
100000 food merger.
Suit has been filed in the local FED
eral court against the Ward Food
Products corporation, the Ward Bak-
ing corporation, the Ward Baking
company, the General Baking corpor-
alton, the Continental Baking colpor-
alton, the United States Bakeries cor
poration, and several individuals, in
Guiding William B. Ward.
The Ward interests have been merg-
ing several hundred baking COM
panies, and recently organized the
Ward Food Products corporation,
which is intended to trustify all the
companies that produce ingredients
that go into the manufacture of
bread.
This corporation has all the ear
marks of vast feudal system that
would control the nations bread out
put and provide hospitals and old age
homes for it's employees. Another pro-
vision of the charter permits the COM
pany to care for the health of chill
dren, although this, likewise, is op-
tional.
The governments netition aims to
prevent the formation of the trust
and asks that the defendants be ad-
judged to have violated both the Sher-
man and the Clayton antitrust acts,
and that they be enjoined from any
act in furtherance of the alleged
combination.

LAWS DON'T SUIT
The United States Tariff Board Is
Opposed by Farmers

Washington, D. C.-The National
Board of Farm Organizations has
called for the abolishment of the
United States tariff commission. The
resolutions declare that the commits
sjon's "elusive and labyrinthic meth
cd of dealing with questions of great
public moment is bringing renroach
on all reputable governmental agen-
cies."
The commission is charged with re-
opening hearings in an investigation
of the tariff on butter and vegetable
ellis and taking testimony of repre-
sentatives of the Danish government
in private conference without notice
to other interested parties.
The commission has been under fire
from various quarters and the claim
is frequently made that it is packed"
in the interest of certain powerful in
fluences. The commission was Great
ed by the present tariff law. It's ad-
vocates claimed that the "tariff would
be taken out of politics." as the COM
mission would conduct scientific in
vestigations on whether tariff sche-
dulles are too high or too low. The
claim is now made that rates have
only been lowered on Mexican pheas-
ants that are imported for breeding
purposes.

Street R'y Men
Win Out Big in
Frame-Up Case
Case COllapses-FOur Men Are
Not Guilty and Six Are
Dismissed

Buffalo, N. Y.-The dynamit-
ing charges against ten men,
bers of the Amalgamated Asso-
citation of Street and Electric
Railway Employees collapsed in
Federal Judge Howe's court
when a jury returned a verdict
OF not guilty for four of the
trade unionists.
Judge Howe had previously dis
missed six of the defendants. When
the jury brought in its verdict, the
court said:
Gentlemen of the jury, your
verdict is absolutely right. l
heartily approve it. The defend
ants are discharged"
During the trial the prosecuting at
torney apologized for the character of
some of his witnesses. The prosecu-
tlon's leading witness was condemned
by Judge Howe because of admitted
perjury.
One Of the accused was A. F. of
L. Organizer Collins. They were
charged with conspiring to dynamite
the roadbed of the international Rail-
way company's line on August II,
1922, at the height of the car mems
strike against the so-called Mitten
that operates a COM
pany union" in Philadelphia and
which attempted to install this sys-
tenn on the international line.
The unionists insisted that they
were victims of frame-up.

The Senators
Don't tAgree on
"Death'' Tax
Party Lines Are Smashed OF
Question of Repeating
This Tax Feature

Washington, D. C.-The qu
tion of repeating the inherita
or estate, tax feature of the
bill has smashed party lines
the senate. The division is all
non-partisan lines of the wd
court, when 40 Republicans
sc Democrats favored that i
posal.
The inheritance, or "death~ tax.
1t is called by its foes, is opposed on
the ground that the federal govern
ment should leave the collection of it
to the states.
Friends of a federal inheritance
tax reply that the states can not COL
lect it because Florida and other
states, wishing to become havens for
the wealthy, have abandoned it. Only
recently Florida passed a constitu-
tlonal amendment against this sys-
tenn. Other states, in self-defense.
will have to do likewise, with the re-
suit that no inheritance tax will be
levied.
If federal inheritance tax is con-
rituoo IL VIII 1du only upon the very
rich. as estates up to $4,000 pay
nothing under the present law and
estates of 100000 pay only $500.
Large estates in the neighborhood of
IOO,OOO,OOO pay approximately S4O,-
100000, based on the present maxi
mum 40 per cent rate. The house
proposed to cut the rate to 20 per
cent, and the senate bill proposes to
abandon this tax altogether.
Opponents of the repeal claim that
the government will lose at least
$100,000,000 a year in revenue.

News Review of
Current Events
MussOlini Threatens Germany
and Defies League in the
South TyrOl Affair
sy EDWARD w. PiCkARO

~ NhO w. FISNNhS
ITALY, as represented by Premier
Mussolini, and Germany, through
Foreign Minister Stresemann and the
reichstag, said a lot of nasty things
alarmists would like to have it ap-
pear that peace was threatened. But
hostilities, at least fw a long time,
are quite out of the question. The
row, of course, is over the treatment
Of the German minority In southern
Tyrol. the recovered territory which
Mussolini insists must be Itallanized.
In a speech to parliament Mussolini
said: Italy can, If necessary, carry
its tricolor beyond the frontier (the
Brenner pass), but never will lower
it," He declared the policy In the
Tyrol would never be changed but
would be carried out "obstinately,
methodically and precisely" And he
added: "If the Germans attempt a
boycott, we will answer with bOycotts
squared. If Germany takes reprisals,
we will answer with reprisals cubed.'
Germany's formal answer was a
declaration adopted by the reichstag
that it vigorously rejects the italian
prime minister's effectively unjusti-
fable and insultingly phrased at
tacks and sneers," and reasserting
right to support the demand of the
German minorities under foreign SOW
ereignty for just treatment. Doctor
Stresemann stigmatized Mussolinfs
address as "soap-box speechifying"
and asserted the italian government
had broken it's promises to safeguard
local traditions In southern Tyrol He
more than intimated that Germany
would lay the matter before the
League Of Nations.
Mussolini's reply was immediate
and sharp. He told the League of Ma
tions to keep its hands off. He made
these three points:
Il. That the non-Italian population
of south TyrOl are outside Of those
minorities which became objects of
special accord in the peace treaties.
"2. That Italy will not accept any
discussion Of this matter by any as
se.nbly or council.
''3. That the Fascist government
will oppose with maximum energy
any plan of this nature, because 1t
would feel itself guilty Of real crime
toward the fatherland if, for 100000
Germans, the peace and security of
$4,000, 900 Italians, who surely form
the most homogeneous and compact
national bloc In Europe, should in any
way be compromised"
These" declared Premier Musso-
lini, "are not menaces for which any
ambiguous dilemma is valid. They
are an affirmation of dignity and
force"
Berlin officially considered the Incl
dent closed until it should be taken
up by the league. Meanwhile the Ital-
ian authorities in southern Tyrol said
they had uncovered a plot by Bavari-
ans to revolt against italy, and raids
were made near LavarOne in which
90 persons were arrested and quanti-
ties of arms and ammunition were
seized

WITH the unexpected aid Of 16
w Republican votes, the senate not
only voted to repeal the Inheritance
tax but added $100,0O0,000 to it's COM
mittee's cut of $3.50, ,OOOO in the gov
ernment revenues. Taxes on automo-
biles and trucks, admissions and dues
were wiped out. At this writing it Is
believed the bill will be passed by the
senate before the week ends 1t Is
not considered likely that the inheri-
tance tax repeal will stand in confer
ence. More probably the house pro-
visions reducing the rates from a
maximum of 40 to 20 per cent will be
restored. Other slashes made by the
senate may be abandoned In the con
below the margin Of safety set by the
treasury officials.
, Chairman Smoot told the senate It's
action in repeating the automobile
passenger-car levy, involving a loss of
$70,000,000 In revenue, will ruin the

Mich.) countered with the charge that
it was "a damnable outrage If you
take the taxes off dead millionaires
and not relieve these burdensome
levies."

Houses

"The Time, the Place, and the Girl >

Wednesday nights by the LOoters of

with capacity houses and much ap-
plause. The play was staged under
the direction Of Bud Bulls, who was
brought here from Ohio for that pur-
pose.
While "The Time, the Place, and

BERT LAY dies
OF FSELF-INFLICTED
SHOTGUN WOUND
Dependency Believed Cause Of
Act-Leaves Note for Brother
Was City EmplOye

Despondent, it is believed, ever ill-
ness in his family and financial diff
ficulties, Bert Lay, for 25 years an
employe Of the city, took his own life
early last Friday morning at his
home, 528 North BOzeman avenue.
The body was discovered a few min
utes later by his mother, Mrs. Jennie
Lay. From the nature Of the wound,
which was inflicted with an automatic
shot gun, death probably was instan-
taneOus.
In a penciled note left for his
brother, Fred Lay, the respondent
man thanked him for all the kindness
es he had done, and bade goodbye
and asked Gods blessing upon call
Of the family, my wife and little
ones" From this hasty note and his
previous actions, it is deduced that
Mr. Lay took his life in response to
an uncomfortable impulse, and that
his act was not premeditated.
Funeral Sunday
Funeral services were held at the
First Methodist church Sunday af-
ternoon, with the pastor, the Rev. R.
P. Smith, officiating. Scores of
friends of the dead man and the fam
lily attended, many bringing beautiful
floral tributes, for Mr.. Lay had lived
In Bozeman many years and was
widely known and held in high es-
TEEN. Mrs. H. F. Schwartz, Mrs. J.
II. Harris, w. T. Brandenburg, and
w. D. Bell sang, with Mrs. B. B. Law
accompanying. The pallbearers were
Fred M. Brown, Walter Davis, L. s.
Thorpe, Albert Melton, OFT Mathews
and H. Miles. Burial was in the
BOzeman cemetery.
Bert Lay was born December 26
1881, in Schuyler county, Missouri
the son of Mr.. and Mrs. James G
Lay. With his parents, he came tt
Bozeman at an early age. After the
death of his father, some years ago
he shared with his mother and his
brother the responsibility of caring
for the family. He began his wofl
for the city when a boy, and for NOR,
than a quarter Of a century had beer
connected with it in one or anothe.
capacity. At the time of his dealt
he was foreman Of the water AM
sewer department.
For several years Mr.. Lays wifi
has been an invalid, and it is be
ieved that this, with financial wor
ries, preyed upon his mind. By cit
officials he was held in high regard
being considered an employe who's
work was entirely satisfactory an
who could be depended upon at a
times.
Besides his mother, his brothe
and his widow, Mr.. Lay is survive
by three children, Herbert, Everett
and Frances; another brother, Mile
