BELLOC ADVANCES
WARNING TO WORLD
Lauds Chesterton's Fight for
Catholicism-English An.

Combining 4 tribute to his old
friend, Gilbert K. Chesterton, with a
warning to the civilized nations, HI
laire Belloc last night addressed dis
tinguished group at Holy Trinity au-
ditorium on what he termed message
from . Catholic to Catholics.
Reviewing the history of English
antagonism to Catholicism, the his
torian referred to Chesterton IS q true
and typical Englshman who took up
the fight for Catholicism late In life,
after his reputation had been firmly
established.
otherwise, Belloc said, che would
have suffered extinction"
An important part OF his address was
devoted to 4 resume Of Chesterton q
personality and literary qualities.
Much Of Chesterton's strength" he
pointed out, LAY in his ability to
write epigrams. The English mind Il
fond Of these. He was 4 master OF
parallelism. Above all, G. K. c. had
the feeling OF fellowship, which u

he did not like fighting as such. He
left the feeling Of gently criticizins q

Belloc concluded with a statement
that the rise Of civilization in the
modern world depends on its accept
ance Of Catholicism, not necessarily
adherence to the Church Of Rome, but
the adoption Of the broad culture OF
Catholicism. Otherwise, he warned,

Of the now discarded Jacobs fiscal
relations plan. Chairman Collins Of
the Appropriations Subcommittee
said he planned to reintroduce similar
measures, as well as the five others,
largely as psychological move to
give support to the Mapes bills and
to indicate to the House the desira-
bility of revising the District tax
structure.
In its report on the appropriation
bill Collins subcommittee declared
the entire tax structure is decidedly
weak and fails to produce nearly the
revenue OF modern tax system" ."
Millions Of dollars, the report said.
are lost annually because Of this
condition.
Real estate is one OF the few sources
OF revenue that escapes an additional
burden under the subcommittee's tax
program. In fact, the appropriation
bill carries legislative rider specifl-
cally forbidding the Commissioners
from raising the existing $3.50 levy.
BY preventing an increase in the
real estate tax rate the subcommittee
agreed with the Jacobs report that
this source Of revenue already is
carrying too heavy . load
The House tomorrow will begin con-
sideration OF the appropriation bill,
which carries . total Of $45,22S, CA,
Of which the Federal Government
would pay $4,000 900, the same amount
1t did for the current fiscal year
House leaders predict passage Of the
measure Friday.

Of order under House rules, and men,

raise the points against them when
the measure Is considered In the
House.
Prior to the executive session the
committee favorably reported . bill to
make illegal the use OF slugs or for
eign coins in telephone pay stations or
any legal merchandise vending ma
chine, as well Is three measures au-

thousands Of dollars = year in the Dis
trict by such practice. The losses, it
was said, jumped from $l4,400 in

Thomas Watches Events.
Chairman Thomas Of the Senate
subcommittee on District appropria-
tions, said today he would keep An
open mind on the detailed items in the
1888 supply bill until it passes the
House and reaches his committee. He
also is withholding comment until that
time on the score OF limitations and
legislative riders the House committee
placed in the bill.
Local citizens will be given ample
opportunity to be heard on any pro-
ciflc items when the bill reaches the
Senate, Thomas said. He previously
had announced in a recent speech that
he personally thought the Federal
payment would remain at the present
lump figure Of $5,000,00 for another
year. AS to the new taxes, that would
have to be applied to District residents
to make up the deficit under the
House bill, Thomas said that would
be a problem for the legislative COM
mittees of Congress.

Four OF the TAX DllS are patterned
after those which have been spon-
sored for the last five years by Rep

They also asked time and 4 half

Only the two demands-the in

pensation for overtime-remained.
Demand Of Operators.
The operators, for their part, had
demanded boost of hours in the
length of the work week, with no in
crease in pay.
1t was learned that John L. Lewis,
miners chief. had shaved down his
requests because he felt the new
Guf1ey coal control bill would not
be in effect soon enough to allow the
operators to cover them.
The proposed agreement would
cover all mines in the great Appala-
chan fields, reaching from Central
Pennsylvania to Northern Tennessee
and producing about two-thirds OF
the country's soft coal. Other soft
coal wage scales are based on the
Appalachian agreement.
