ones Of any great power who are
obliged to carry their sidearms every
time they venture from their homes

Of Rome and other garrison towns are

hour of the day.
While in other countries officers
wear no swords except when on ac-

Italian officers are never allowed in

The reason for the sword carrying,

MINERS

Indianapolis, Ind. = Settlement of
the bituminous wage controversy in
the organized fields is proceeding by
district and individual agreements.
The chances of four-state conference
(then central competitive field) are
rather remote, although the United
Mine Workers have let it be known
that they are willing to confer at any
time or place. Meanwhile the signing
up of operators who wish to work
during the interim is progressing.
Several independent mines in Indiana
have signed and are working as usual.
The majority of the block coal oper-
ators, comprising District 8, have
signed and will work per ling negotia-
tions.
A large number of miners in the
state, however, are idle as the asso-
citation operators have closed down
their mines. Operators throughout
the central competitive field are
"resting on their oars" awaiting some
move, they know not what.

ARMY
OF Income Tax Payers Cut
Under New Law

By International Labor News Service.
Washington, D. C.-The new fed
eral tax laws relieve 3,415,812 per-
sons of the obligation to pay income
taxes. The nations income tax pay
ing army has been cut nearly in half.
Income tax returns filed in 1926
numbered 3,953,976, the United States
treasury announced. In the preced-
ing year 7,369,788 returns were filed,
or not far from twice as many as in
1926.
The effect of the new tax laws, in
part, is revealed in the big drop in
the number of returns. Other effects
will be shown when the treasury de-
partment makes an official report on
the number of returns filed in March
of this year. This announcement will
probably not be ready until early in
1928. Despite the fact that the num-
Der who are obligated to pay income
tax returns is smaller, the yield to
the government is still sufficient to
provide enough money to pay current
expenses and also to make reductions
in the principal of the World War
debt.
