Mass Protest Delays
New Machado Tax
Program

HAVANA, July 25.-Mass protest
against new series of taxes which
will increase the cost of living un-
bearably has forced the Cuban Con-
gress to postpone consideration of the
new tax program.
Thousands demonstrated, and all
stores were closed for six hours on the
day when the tax proposals worked
out by Premier Machado for approval
by his puppet Congress came up. The
Senate has already passed most of
them. AS a result the Congress did
not meet. The reason given was
that a quorum was lacking.
The Machado program includes a
sharp increase in the sales tax on
necessities, and in customs duties on
many essential articles of consump-
ton.

General Motors Corp.
Squeezes $41,189,169
Profits from Workers

NEW YORK. = Earnings of the
General Motors Corporation rose to
$41,189,169 for the second quarter
of 1888, or an increase of 800 per
cent over the same quarter of last
year.
The increase in automobile pro-
duction stimulated by initiation did
not absorb many automobile work
ers, and in many plants of General
Motors increased production was
obtained with a decrease in the
number of workers employed.

HALT STRIKE AT
PERKINSREQUEST

NEW YORK. David Dubinsky,
president Of the International La
dies Garment Workers Union to-
day complied with the request of
Frances Perkins, U. S. Secretary Of
labor and agreed to postpone the
strike of the garment workers
against the piece-work system. This
is a tactic of the officials to force
the workers to accept the piece
work system to which the officials
are committed by secret agreement
with the garment manufacturers.
BY Dubinsky's own admission, the
employers in the industry are MAX
ing up their fall garments already
and will rush to finish their work
in order to be better able to hold
out against the strike. The action
of the board of the cloakmakers'
union in accepting the government
dictate to call off the strike was
taken without consulting the work.

ment activities in carrying on the dipping work
and outbreaks were frequent as irate farmers
sought to prevent the work of the inspectors
Now they welcome this safeguard.
The fatal hog cholera, which formerly used
to sweep through large sections of farming ter
ritory, bringing sure death to all infected hogs,
also was fought vigorously last year. Nearly
$500 outbreaks of the cholera were investigated
and checked by the Government experts Nearly
$4,000 premises were visited, and the fact that
only an average Of three farms per outbreak
were found infected speaks well for the preven-
tative work. The bureau, through its super
vision Of licensed establishments for the pro-
duction of anti-hog- cholera serum passed on
more than a billion cubic centimeters Of the
serum, which has been found the only safe
means of protecting hogs from the outbreaks
of the disease.
More than 100000 inspections Of sheep were
conducted in a campaign against one prevalent
disease Of sheep, and as a result of the work
last year the number of affected animals was
reduced go per cent from the previous year.
All the preventative work is not done ON the
farms however. In the stock yards where the
animals await preparation for market, Govern
ment inspectors looked over 100000 cattle,
100000 sheep and 25,00O,000 hogs. This
service not only safeguards the animals while
they are awaiting slaughter, but also protects
the consumer from receiving diseased stock.

Bureau of Animal Industry Active

ONE of the most active services Of the De-
partment of Agriculture is the Bureau of
Animal Industry, which deals with livestock
production on the farms of the country. One
Of the tasks which this bureau has set before
itself is the elimination Of bovine tuberculosis
through testing of dairy cattle throughout the
United States and bringing about the slaughter
of all infected animals Last year, veterinarians,
both official and private, working In further
ance Of the bureaus campaign, inspected 49,
100000 cattle, of which 2500o0 were found to
have the disease. During the course of the
year four States, Wisconsin Ohio, Idaho and
North Dakota, were found practically to have
eliminated the disease. This is the first time
that more than two States have achieved that
goal in any one year
In the Southern States, where the cattle
tick is prevalent, the Government officials were
also busy. The tick is menace to the live
stock industry of the South not only because
it spreads the fatal tick fever, but in so far as
cattle are concerned 1t ruins the hide through
puncturing during its penetration of the skin
OF the cattle. Last year more than $4,000 900
dippings and inspections of cattle, horses and
mules were carried on in the eradication cam
paign.
Formerly, farmers and livestock raisers of
the South were bitterly opposed to the Govern

around. This is something new in Staid
old England.
But in the last II months the ratio of
crimes to arrests has been considerably
lowered, while the total number of
smash -and-grab raids has sharply con-
tracted. This is one of Trenchards feats
He found newly formed automobile
force when he took over last year. In
six months this force had had 100 acci-
dents! The crooks, with crack drivers,
were making rings around them. The
public was bowling for action.
Trenchard put a wartime flying off,
Ger in charge of the automobile spolice
Within three months the mechanized
underworld became fearfully aware of
the great change. Again and again they
were picked up within seconds of a raid
or hold-up, chased and overtaken. Men
their superiors in driving skill and cour-
age cut in on them at 10 miles an hour
and forced them into ditch or brick
wall. There has been an abrupt drop in
smashand-grab raids.
Now, when the lookout sees police

changed the direction of crime is the
drive against the receiver. The under
world used to dispose of its loot in a
recognized ring. This ring has been
sadly depleted in the last 18 months, and
at the Yard they are wondering why
they did not think of making a concen-
trated attack in this direction before.

robbery last year, $4,000 affair. The
explanation is simply that the market
for the loot has dried up.
\ hEANTIME, the judges are doing their
best to discourage the automobile
and hold-up type of crime by adding the
cat, or, more usually, the birch, to the
jail sentence. The bandits so sentenced
are invariably in their early twenties and
have bad records. The chance of a

gest factors making for the prevalent
depression in the bandit business.
Furnace killed with revolver. Until
a year or two ago murder by the gun
was rare and few criminals were armed.
Now the police are continually picking
up criminals with guns on them or in
their automobiles. Almost all these gum

are almost purely London phenomenon.
The big, crowded city offers tempting
prizes to the alert and reckless young

bandit invariably works in stolen car,
picking one up for job or a series of
jobs and then abandoning it. At the
beginning of 1882 it was estimated that
