MELLON WILL
NOT OBJECT TO
REVENUE BILL
Reduction Is Larger Than
Planned, But Interference
Is Not Probable

Washington. Jan. 2l.--(R -Sccre-
tary Mellon expects to raise no SER
ious objection to the tax bill as re-
ported to the senate. despite the fact
that it proposes a reduction of $685.
600, 900 in government receipts, where
as the treasury had recommended a
limit Of S3OO,OOO.OOO.
1t was said by department officials
today that Mr.. Mellon believed it in
advisable to interfere.
Some tax experts at the treasury
believe that greater cut than at
first proposed will serve as stimula.
ton to business, increasing tax re-
ceipts above the calculations upon
which the senate committee based its
revision Of the law. Such stimula-
ton followed enactment Of the 1921
and 1924 tax laws.

IS NOW BEING
B0OTLEGGED
New Industry Has Sprung Up
! as a Result of Strike
Work Done at Night

Philadelphia, Jan. 2l.--LR- An
thracite bootlegging, a new Industry
which sprung up as result of the
hard coal strike. is growing rapidly
Starting in small way, the prac-
tice has spread until hundreds are
engaged in it.
Some of the bootleggers' supplies
are picked from the banks. This is
permitted by nearly all the coal COM
panies. the only restrictions being
against the use Of trucks and the sale
of the recovered coal. The restric-
tions, however, are ignored by the
bootleggers who deliver most Of their
coal at night and collect from $40 to
$40 for short ton Of inferior grade
The great part of the supply is
taken from outcrops and old work
ings in isolated places. Fleets OF
trucks are busy nightly, in the vicin-
ity of Wilkes Barre and Hazleton.
Many Arrests Made
Scores Of arrests have been made
and vofficers of the United Mine
Workers have endeavored to stop the
practice without success.
1t remained for Thomas Murphy
carpenter. to bring the first "boot-
leg anthracite" to Philadelphia. He
returned last night from a trip
through the mining regions with his
motor car loaded down with bags OF
coal he dug from the culm banks
near HazletQn.

Hearings Opened on
Bill to Consolidate
Nations Railroads

Washington, Jan. 2l.-~LP)~- Hear
ings on the Cummins bill for the
consolidation Of the nations railroads S
into a limited number of great COM
petitive systems were opened today
before the senate interstate commerce
committee.
Senator Cummins, republican, Iowa,
declared the railroads could not be
operated Under private ownership
with rates as low as ought to pre-
vail without comprehensive consoli-
dation. Such consolidation. he said,
would result in tremendous econo-
mics.
The measure would give the rail
roads three years in which to take
voluntary steps to consolidate, and
the interstate commerce commission
after that period would be authorized
to complete the consultations neces-
S0rv.

OVER PRODUCTION OF AGRICULTURE

tional life, all aimed at maintaining
an American standard of living inde-
pendent of that obtaining throughout

Every one of these policies enters

commodity grown and marketed from
the farm. The farmer cannot sue
cessfully overcome this tremendous
obstacle unless the products Of the
labor of the farmer are brought in
to q fair relationship with that of
the labor Of other groups.
Whole Nation To Blame
"This is not the farmers problem
alone. The whole nation had hand
in bringing on the overprOductiOn
Of agriculture. Railroads have con-
tributed to the surplus by their pol
icy Of forcing settlement and use Of
cheap lands. The government has re-
claimed land and pat water on dry
lands and in every way has helped
to create. this surplus.
"The state governments, the banks,
agricultural schools and colleges,
right down to the commercial or bus
mess club in the small city or town,
all have. helped increase production
as part Of q long continued national
program.
"Thit vt once becomes more than
. group question; it commands tho
attention Of the whole nation: Il
challenges the best thought In the
country. And when leaders Of great
groups in our national life get to-
