stances, presume to make public
judgments as to whether this
man or that is a Stacker or a
patriot"
In our village Of Chapel Hill,
and Of course the same condi-
tions prevail in thousands Of
other communities, there are
employers who are merely
hanging on to their business by
their eye-teeth. Many Of them
consider themselves lucky when
they have the payroll money for
one week ahead. How can men
in such situation increase
their costs and remain in busi-
ness unless at the same time
they can increase their rev.
enue? The increase in revenue
is something the Blanket Code
does not provide for. Presum-
ably it will come, some day, with
a general revival Of industry and
commerce and with rise in the
price level; but what is to be-
come, meanwhile, Of the small
employer who is barely keeping
afioat?
"The great corporations have
reserves which they can draw
upon" writes Mr.. Lippmann.
They are by and large highly
mechanized, so that wages are a
relatively smaller part Of their
costs. They have much to gain
by the relaxation Of the anti
trust laws, and have many reas-
ons for cultivating the Od-Will
Of Washington. The small en-
pIOyers are in a rather different
position. They do not in gener-
al have any great margin Of re-
serves to draw upon Labor
costs are often decisive for
them.
Zone can readily foresee that
some of the major difficulties
will be found in attempting to
apply this code to the hundreds
of thousands of small industries
and small shops scattered over
the country.
IF Washington is relying up
on propaganda and boycotts to
force the enormous number of
small employers into line, it is
greatly to be hoped that it will
think twice before using such
dangerous weapons carelessly.
1t is one thing to use the pres
sure of national opinion to
compel great anonymous corpor-
ations. 1t is quite another thing
to set people against each other
who must go on living together
as neighbors.
THE idea of reaching out to
force everyone into such
scheme by the sheer force Of
public opinion is not only utter
ly unjust, but it is a case where
the remedy will aggravate the
disease. To foment discord and
discrimination, boycotts and bit
terness, in the neighborhoods Of
'cities and towns is no way to
revive business.
Suppose John Smith on the
corner takes on three more men,
gets his button, and Tom Brown
down the street cannot take on
more men, does not get a button,
and loses to John Smith a part of
his customers. What have you
accomplished? Probably you
have ruined Tom Brown, who
then defaults on his lease, stops
paying his taxes, and cannot
meet his mortgage. Does any
one seriously think that kind of
thing will make us prosperous?
1.-The vice of the scheme is
that it does not and cannot
take account of the Tom Browns,
who would like to have their

The Problem of Enforcing the
Tax Laws after Repeal

own Prohibition laws. In these
states there will be a kind Of
federal activity Of which there
has been thus far hardly little
or no discussion. That is, the
effort to prevent the evasion of
the federal tax on liquor.
Consider. for example, North
Carolina, and assume that the
burlington act, either in its
present or in a modified form,
will remain.
An army Of moonshiners and
bootleggers fiourishes in the
state. Liquor is produced in
such great quantity that the
price of it has gone down to 50
gallon and less Prices vary
with quality, but We are re-
liably informed that corn and
rye of what experts say is su-
perior grade can be readily OBJ
tanned for not more than Sd
After repeal Congress will
promptly enact law placing a
tax on liquor. Whoever sells
without paying the tax will be
subject to fine or Imprisonment
or both. We take it that the fed
eral government will move
against tax evaders in the dry
as well as the wet states. Hith-
erto the federal government has
pursued bootleggers, when it has
pursued them at all, because any
sale Of liquor has been against
the law; after repeal it will pur-
sue them solely because they are
not paying the tax. This will be
return, in part, TO the same
sort Of regulation that we had in
the old days when there was no
Prohibition law either state or
federal.
Thus q curious situation is in
prospect. The government will
be under the obligation to use
It's power to prevent the lmpOr-
tation of liquor into any state
where the sale Of it is forbidden
by state law. 1t will be the
states obligation to enforce its
own Prohibition. But at the
same time the government must
enforce its tax legislation even
within the state.
1t would seem that this en-
forcement must be of a negative
character; that is, that the gov
ernment cannot collect the tax
from a liquor seller-which
would constitute sanction Of a
violation of the state law-but
must punish him as tax evader.
1t will be saying to the bootleg
ger, in effect: your liquor is
subject TO a tax. You can't pay
me the tax, because it's against
the state law for you to sell
liquor at all, and | cannot con-
nive at the breaking of the
state law. If you sell liquor
without paying the tax, | will
have you put in Jail" This will
be Prohibition enforcement sim
liar to what we have had lin
theory since the Volstead Jaw
was enacted.
1t has been proposed that the
federal tax on liquor be placed
at $6 a gallon. If Congress de-
cides upon that figure, then the
price of legal liquor can hardly
be expected to be less than
around $12; at the very lowest,
$40. When liquor made by
moonshiners in the mountains,
in the piedmont, and down on
the coast can be sold profitably,
if untaxed, at from So to 81, it
is obvious that the government
will be faced with a continu-
alton of the present great illicit
trade.
One solution is for Congress

VIOLENCE OCCURS
 AGAIN AT PLANTS
Steel Strikers Continue to Picket Industries in
 Pennsylvania

Pittsburgh, Pa, oct. 5--(UP)-- Stoning and other violence broke out in the steel strike in two widely separated sections of Western Pennsylvania today when pickets continued their vigil at steel plnntA demanding union recognition.
 About 700 pickets, including wo- men. were at the Carnegie Steel Companys plants at Clairton, Stones wore hurled at every auto mobile and truck entering the gates. state police could make no arrests as they were unable to lo- cate the throwers in the darkness.
 A smaller group of pickets blocked the Stang-C -Chalfnnt Com panya seamless tube plant at Am bridge all night, Men and women were fin the crowd, armed with heavy clubs. They refused to let anyone enter the plant except county authorities and United States mall trucks. Bonfires burn cd in streets before the plant all night.

tial gains, with price advances in many import directions. The clothing industries also stepped up their operations, particularly mems and work clothing makers. This was in response not merely to sea- sonai demands, but to larger sales of work clothing in many parts of the country.
 Boot and shoe factories, for the country at large. advanced their schedules somewhat last month and shoe wholesalers ewre active, but few increases in retail distribu' ton of shoes were reported. Other large industries which expanded their operations in September in- cluded knit goods, canning and preserving, coal and coke. and wooden goods. The last three In. dustries are seasonal, but in many sections more than the usual sea. sonal upsewing was reported.
 Manufacturing activity In the United States during September as compared with August decreased in one geographic division, the New England States; increased in three, the South Atlantic. the West South Central, and the Pacific States, and was the same In tho remaining five, the Middle Allan tic, the Easct and West North Cen. tral, the East south Central. and the Mountain States.

 1t was understood that the 1884 budget. 10 he introduced when parliament reconvcnes late this month, would contain no provision to meet either the British or Amer ican debt instalmcnts due in De- cember.
 Officials contemplating the pros- pcct of announcing default of the December 1j, in9talmcnt, were concerned primarily with hostile criticism,
 Authoritative information to- day, was that France would bear the criticism and would make mo move toward rosumiug debt pay ments until she was assured the United States was prepared 10 make material concessions on priu- cipal and interest

New York, oct 5-Industrial pro- duction in the United States during September was unchanged from August levels, but consumption throughout the country last month made the most widespread gains since the general business improve ment commenced in April, accord Ing to the current monthly business survey of International Business Machines Corporation. This refutes the contention of some business obs servers that the recent advance Tn factory operations was not war ranted by consumer buying and that stocks of surplus goods were simply being increased, the survey maintains.
 For the first time in the current business uptrn, reports from the 1,50O IBM field representatives in the United States indicate that every section experienced an in- erease In retail trade during the past 30 days, according to the sur yey. Tho general level of retail prices was found to be substantial- ly higher ,as was indicated by the companys survey of n month ago when wholesale prices were gen. orally increasing. Employment and payrolls. however, were generally higher for September.
 As was pointed out last month, the survey states, "it requires some time for the renewed purchasing power of those who are reem- ployed to become fully operative. because of the necessity to pay off obligations incurred during unem. ploymcnt; but employment and payrolls have been increasing for i've months and from now on the effect of this important factor on retail buying should be increasing ly apparent.
 "The industries showing in- creased activities last month were nearly all among those producing consumer goods. Cotton textile mills were more active than in the preceding thirty days, and the wholesale and retail branches of this industry also reported substan-

Wool Features Trade Actiuity During Week
Dun and Bradstreet Review Indicates Active Cotton Market - Demand For Building
 Material Increases

Boston, Oct 5.-(UP)-Wool continued to feature trade activity In New England during the past week, Dun & Bradstreet, Inc, re- ported to-day in the Weekly Trade Review.
 Prices are firm, the Review said and, while the sale of wool tops decreased slightly, top makers are still busy. The outlook for the goods market continued favorable, while the demand for wooden and worsted yarns is moderate, with knitters hesitating to pay higher prices, 1t was said.
 "The cotton market has been active" the Review said, with in- creasing sales of grey goods during the week. The finer lines are nov ing well and there has been an in- creased cqn for staples. Prices are firm. The rayon market Is active and yarn producers have sold their full capacity for several months. During the past two weeks, the de- mand for cotton yarns has in- creased, particularly from the knitters, all counts sharing in the increase.
 Hide prices are off 1 cent a pound and some quite substantial orders have been booked at the lower prices.
