in proportion to the growtt: os The city,
dc2 to the fact that many changes have
Saken place since the passage of the
act under which the majority OF these
fees are collected.
This act was approved July /, 1902,
and since that date many classes Of
business which were taxed have gone
out of existence. Provisions of that act
taxing certain other classes of busi-
ness have been declared invalid by the
courts, thus further eliminating sources
of revenue. Many other businesses
have come into existence, and most of
these should pay license tax, but are
not required to do so under the pres
ent law. It Is apparent, therefore,
that there is need for the revision of
the present law or enactment of new
law to take its place"
14,0eO Firms are Licensed.
Approximately $4,000 business firms
are now paying license tax under the
existing law. It is estimated that at
least 1000 more now escaping a tax
because the code does not apply to
them will be brought under provisions
of the revised law.
The committees new code, together
with a report outlining in detail the
reasons for the various changes, will
be turned over to the Commissioners
the latter part of this week. A copy
also will be sent to Representative Glib
son, who primarily was instrumental
In bringing about the gigantic task of
undermining and making more equitable
the present license tax law.

Campaign for Carrying Mes

NEW ORLEANS, November pa
campaign to insure the carrying OF the
message of organized labor by radio into
every American home was discussed to-
day by a committee of the American
Federation Of Labor.
accommodation was made by the
executive council of the federation, III
annual session here. that efforts be made
to secure from the Federal Radio Com
mission IAN exclusive national channel
with unlimited time and power" for
Station VIGIL, Chicago, operated by the
Chicago Federation of Labor. Describ-
ing the station as the only one in the
United States owned and operated In
the interest of organized labor. the
executive council reported that the Fed
eral Radio Commission, in its recent re-
ALLEGATION of wave lengths, time and
power, had assigned VIGIL wave
length which does not permit broad
casting from Chicago after O'CLOCK IN
the evening at this time Of year and
also reduced It's power to 1000 watts
The effect of the action. the exec
utive counsel said, IS not only to re-
strict the area over which VIGIL can
be heard, thus treating the station as
though 1t were purely local in interest
and usefulness, but also to keep 1t OIL
the air entirely during most OF the
evening, which is the only time that
persons employed during the day have
the leisure to use their receiving sets"
In the event the Radio Commission
does not grant the changes desired, the
executive council recommended that
steps be taken to bring the entire mat
ter to the attention of Congress-"
The recommendation was referred to
the resolutions committee, which will
report to the convention Monday.
No regular session of the convention
was held today, but committees met
and discussed the matters referred to
them. The only activity scheduled for
tomorrow are addresses in local churches
by President william Green, Secretary
Frank Morrison and other labor leaders.

arate agreement with Wardman and
thus are not concerned with the recent
negotiations. The carpenters organiza-
ton, one of the largest of the building
trades, is not affiliated with the council
and is not included in the agreement.
The change in the relations followed
protests by both representatives of the
American Federation Of Labor, in which
the local Central Labor Union Joined,
the employment Of non-union labor on
the British embassy project here.
Woman Played Important Role.
1t was disclosed last night that an
Important role in these negotiations,
which were designed to persuade
Wardman to abandon the open shop
policy on this project, was played by
a Washington woman Miss Selma
Borchardt, teacher of English at the
Business High School, who is dele
gate to the Central Labor Union from
the local unit of the American Fedora
ton of Teachers, as well as vice presi-
dent of the National Teachers body.
Miss Borchardt, acting in conjunction
with other local labor leaders, corre-
sponded with British union officials
seeking cooperation in the movement
to persuade Wardman to employ union
men on the embassy job Protests also
went to England from William Green,
president of the American Federation
Of Labor, and local labor leaders,
which resulted in the British govern
ment asking the British Embassy here
for information on the situation. The
question also was raised on the floor
of the House of Commons.
While 1t was admitted that Wardman
was complying with the British law,
which requires that on government
building projects workmen must be paid
the prevailing wage scale, labor interests
contended that the British government
should not be party to policy which,
1t was felt, would tend to lower stand
ards OF living through discrimination
against union workmen,
The agreement of the Wardman Co.
to abandon the open shop, however.
was IN compliance to requests of the
local labor union to give the union shop
"a trial." Union leaders Commended
that the union shop would result in
greater economy and satisfaction to the
contractor. They argued that union
skilled laborers do more work per hour
than non-union, and therefore their
employment is more economical.
In these negotiations the Building
Trades Council was represented by John
M. Bolts and Charles E. Young, its
chairman and secretary.
Mr.. Bolts disclosed last night that
through voluntary agreement between
contractors and workers, members of
five building trades on several big Jobs
here are on the five-day schedule pro-
NOTED by the A. F. of L. The trades
effected are steamf1tters, electricians,
lathers, ironworkers and pIasterers now
employed on the large Office building
being erected on the northwest corner
of Fourteenth and X streets; on the
new Washington headquarters building
of the Southern Railway, southwest
! corner of Fifteenth and K streets, and
the apartment house being erected in
Mount Pleasant by the Miller Engi-
neering Co.

it pays amount to $40 week while the
team is playing In the Griffith Stadium.
A score or more police officers have to
be detailed there to protect the crowds,
and extra officers are necessary for
traffic duty in the area contiguous to the
ball grounds Yet the total tax paid
by the ball club each season would not
offset the salaries of the extra police
detail for one week.
Another comparable situation in
wolves the theaters, which pay q license
fee of $100 a year each. The Fire De-
partment must keep large staff OF in
spectorS at these places morning, after
noon and night to maintain a close
surveillance for infractionS of the rigid
fire prevention code. 1t has been eSti-
mated that the total revenue derived
from all. such places Of amusement
does not equal the sum paid IN sal
aries to these f1remen.
Then there Is the case Of clairvoy-
ants, soothsayerS fortune tellerS and all
their kindred relations, who pay the
District an annual license fee Of $2S
each and require more police inspection
and check up than the real estate
brokers, who are taxed $50 for license
| to do business. Once a year, under
| normal circumstances, q policeman Will
go into the Office of the real estate
broker to ascertain If their license GER
tiflcates have been procured and posted
conspicuously. But before license Is
| issued to members of the profession
| that claim supernatural powers, the
police make considerable research as
| to their character, past history, etc,
which cuts more money sometimes
| than the amount of the license Zee.
Some Sections Facetious.
other sections of the act are ludicru-
ouSly facetiouS in view of the changed
conditions since the law was first writ
ten. Besides still prescribing tax on
| the forgotten Herdics, Jenny Lind and
shuttle board parlors, the existing code
/, calls for q tax on railroad ticket brokers,
horse race promoters and the like, who
were "legislated" out Of business long
ago. Still another section forbidS the
sale of liquor in pool rooms and bowling
alleys and restricts their hours Of opera
ton to the same period that barrooms
| we're permitted to do business. These
archaic provisions have either been re-
written or removed entirely from the
| code as the occasion warrants.
| Mr.. Coombs made his initial move to
| have the old license law revised about
| five years ago, but his recommendations
were not taken seriously. Again this
year he called the attention of the Com
miSsioners to the situation resulting
from the continued operation Of the
obsolete sections of the law In his an
nual report, and shortly thereafter def
mite steps were taken to bring it up to
date. 1t was the following paragraph
In the report of the superintendent Of
licenses that stirred the Commissioners
and Mr.. Gibson to action:

ceilaneous business license taxes has

Study of Theory
Is Encouraged by
Local Music Teacher

Miss Belle Menus, who recently
opened a piano studio here, urges
that pupils study the theoretical
branches Of music as well as piano
lessons.
Harmony, history Of music. and
analysis should be essential to
authoritative playing, Miss Menus
says, and she strongly urges that all
young students study these prin-
ciples before they are encountered
with conservatory work.
After teaching theoretical
branches Of music for eight years
in various schools and colleges, Miss
Menus says:
II have had students come . me
endeavoring to play Beethoven SON.
natas and the heavier works Of Cho-
pin and Schumann without knowing
the construction and resolution of
single chord, or without recognizing
a meditation. It is hard to convince
the pupil, and the parents who are
paying for the lessons, that it is
essential that the student know what
he is playing as well as how to
play it."
Miss Menus, in organizing classes
in harmony, states that students who
are planning to attend conserva-
tories in the future should realize
that four-year courses are based
upon two years of harmony and
counterpart, followed by compo-
sition and orchestration in sequence.
As time and expense are usually inn
portant parts in the students mu-
steal education, year or two of ex-
pensive study in larger ceAters can
be avoided if the foundation subjects
are studied in the home studio.
