Speaking before a crowded House

II will not countenance any at
tempt ON the part of any employers
to use the present occasion for try
ing in any way to get reductions in
wages from those in force before the

That was Baldwin, s reply to the

fecting reinstatement agreements

The coal strike affecting more
than 100000 miners continues and
the issue which precipitated the
greatest industrial struggle in his
tory still is unsettled. Truce has
come in the fight between organized
labor and the government, but an
other fight - the miners pitted
against the rest of organized labor
goes on.
Miners DisgruntIed
British miners are disappointed
and disgruntled. Their leaders feel
they have been deserted by the re
mainder of the organized labor move
ment and may decide to reject
Wednesdays peace terms. They
may even go so far as to withdraw
from the Trades Union Congress.
Londoners are dismayed to dis
cover that wave Of the hand and
a few words on a scrap of paper

WASHINGTON, May 13.-Cham-
bers of Commerce and allied orsani.
cations were called upon to lead a
wise economy and better efficiency
in local government" as a means
for accomplishing general local tax
reduction by William Fortune CT In
dianapolis. speaking before the
United States Chamber Of Commerce
today.
Pointing to the challenge for local
tax savings put before the Nation
by President Coolidge, Fortune said:
"If we do not promptly follow up
the work that has been so well
started by the President, we may
find that we have neglected our best
chance for constructive effort. There
is danger that we may so long de-
lay vigorous action that the momen-
tum Of the Presidents initiative may
be lost"
A concrete program of action,
based not on theory but on actual
experience, was submitted. Such an
organized campaign could effect saw
ings totaling a billion dollars annu-
ally in local taxes he said.
Check on Fraud
With Fortunes speech, the con-
vention considered the problem Of
local taxation. The indianapolis
Chamber had submitted a resolution
urging the national body to begin
a campaign for local tax reduction.
Fortune recommended establish
ment of a State central agency. sim
liar to the Indiana board of ac-
counts, to inspect and supervise pub
lie officials with a view to check
against fraud and mistakes, and to
give helpful administrative advise.
He also urges setting up a super
visory system in states, correspond
ing to the Indiana tax board, which
would have the power to check local
tax levies, bond issues and loans,
with the proper safeguards for
home rule.

Briefly, he compared the likeness of a chambers workings t0 that of any organization, private or otherwise.
 At the present time he said he was making this trip through Alaska with the view of bettering the services of the Green Boat Line" and to please the people in whatever manner the company may. He was in Seward 14 years ago and since his return has met many oldtimers. Naturally. he sees many improvements. There was no railroad at that time, but now, it is the coast terminus of a powerful railroad system. He has already made a trip into the Interior and found con- ditions there and in Anchorage quite good, those districts apparently hav- ing taken on a new lease on life. In closing his remarks Afr. Pinne0 stat ed that as a representative Of the Pa cifc Steamship Company he was al ways glad to do things for communi- ties his company does business with.
 In the halcyon days Nr. Pinneo was member of the operating staff ot the famous White Pass < Yukon Route, running out of Skagwsy.

The nickname, which his legion ot friends call him by, Big hearted Bill" probably tells a long story briefly. It is said of MT. Pitt that travellers in his charge seldom ger seasick owing to his everlasting good humor. He has been on the Alaska run since 1897, and still is young man-in looks anyway.

MISS VIRGINIA MERRILL
WINS LITERARY CONTEST

Miss Virginia Merrill, daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Marion Merrill, this
city, has been successful in still an
other literary contest. This young
lady, it will be remembered, carried
off the Old Home Prize, and the Bal
timore Eastern Shore Society prize,
and afterwards beat out her rival con-
testants for the free scholarship at
Western Maryland College, at which
institution she is now a student.
News now comes that this talented
young lady has won another distinc-
ton from the Firestone Rubber Tire
Company of Akron, Ohio, for the
best essay written in Maryland on
improved roads. The prize consists
of college education at any instituv
tion the successful essayist desires
to attend. Miss Virginia will probably
choose Western Maryland if she il
still farther successful when her es-
say is brought into competition with
those of other states, hers being the
best in Maryland.
She is certainly worthy of much
commentator and congratulation on
her success. It is understood that she
is making quite record for herself
at college, and all are hoping her
"good roads" essay will win the Nat
ional prize.
