 Ripon, Wis., Nov, - Timo and chance play strange tricks, and one of the strangest is the one which makes the famous "Lons House" Q refuge for relief families.
 The "Long House" was built by, and housed, one of the few suc- cessful communicate experiments in the United States, But that was nearly 100 years ago, Now the fine old building erected by the "Wiseonsin Phalanx" iS housing l4 families who find no other place In Q system directly opposite to that built by the Phalanxists.
 Warren Chase, Ascetic, shrewd founder of the Wisconsin Phalanx, and other disciples of the French !. socialist Charles Fourier, are prob- ably turning over In their graves to see the use to which their beloved Long House" is being put today.

 Rlpon, traditional birthplace of tho Republican party In pre-Clyil War days, hos today about 4600 people. Of these i4 families are on relief. They needed housing, and D. ?, RutZ, Poor ComfliiS. sIoner, suggested remodellng the long-A abandoned Long House" of the nearly -forgotten phalanx. The houSe, fronting on c fine park, had been in possession of the city for years.

 Behind the old house there arc stil gardens once cultivated by PtAlanx members intent on their dream of collective living. In the biz park before the house, relief children play under tho big naples exactly where the childror of the Phalanxists played 50 long ago.
 Experiment Too Successful
 Two of the relief families housed in the Long House" found work, but continue to live there, paying the city Si0 c month rent, profer- rirg not to desert tho historic house. Charitable organizations have dress. cd the reiiofers fairly well, and food and fuel orders come from the city, 70 that the net cost for each family of four Is about 436 c month.

MILLS POINTS OUT
DANCER0F UNIONS
Ex-Cabinet Member Warns

NEW YORK, June 3 Cp).-Ogden L.
Mills, former Secretary of the Treas
ury, warned last night that, without
wise leadership" and organization on
q flexible and voluntary basis, labor
unions may act as a brake on pros
perity and expansion"
He pointed to Italy and Germany as
nations where labor unions started
out, flushed with power, to dominate
the state" but ended by being its
slaves"
The labor situation was discussed by
Mills in one Of series of lectures he
is delivering before the New School for
Social Research on The Future of the
Republican Party or the Defense of the
Individual"
He made no mention of the Repub-
lican party, but, in discussing politics.
said he doubted any party organized
strictly on class basis" would succeed.
He said any labor party would call
for segregation of the political
funds from the funds Of the union"
He proposed an eight-point program
for unions, as follows:

Authority for Commissioners.
The only definite action taken by
the subcommittee at its all-day ses-
sion yesterday was to approve a rec
ommendatlon of the Commissioners
that provision be written into the
tax legislation giving them authority
to borrow Federal funds after July |
to keep the District from going broke
until tax revenues are collected in
September
Final disposition has not yet been
made OF two major problems con-
fronting the subcommittee. One is
whether the anticipated S1,5OOOOO
from the weight tax on motor vehi-
cles should be dumped into the gaso-
line tax fund and used to support
the Highway Department and certain
activities of the Department Of Traffic
and Vehicles.
A second question to be settled dur
ing discussion of the income tax plan
is whether the tax shall be made
retroactive to 1886 incomes. The
bill submitted by the Commissioners
would do that, although the tax levied
on the 1886 incomes would be one
half of the total amount that would
be collectable.
Business Privilege Tax.
The business privilege tax plan Of
| the Commissioners has a similar fea-
ture, and business establishments
would be taxed on the basis of 1886
gross receipts, although only one
half of the amount collectable would
be collected.
The idea behind both proposals is
to get some revenue from these two
taxes in the current calendar year.
AS a courtesy the subcommittee late
yesterday permitted Capt. I. S. Wiki
lnson, U. S. N, to make a plea for
the exemption of service men in
Washington from payment of the in
come tax. He pointed out it was
difficult to get Army, Navy and Marine
Corps officers to volunteer for duty
IN Washington because of high living
costs
Representative Dirksen Republican,
OF Illinois and champion of the in
come tax plan, argued with Capt
Wilkinson that service men should
make some contribution to the Dis
trlct for the services they receive
from the municipal government.
