Court Queried on New Trial.
United States Attorney Pine
asked the court this morning wheth-
er a new trial-the third one in the
tax conspiracy case-Was to be set
at this time. The prosecutor sug-
gested that no date be set until the
contempt petition had been pre-
sented and passed on.
Leo A. Rover, attorney for Charles
and Leo Warning. said he also felt
that the date for a new trial should
be held in allegiance, and Justice
Laws said he would take up the mat
ter later.
The court directed that Sadur
also be present tomorrow, although
he is not involved in the alleged ef-
forts to influence jurors, pointing
out that the date for a new trial
might be set at that time.
The Warning brothers-Emmitt.
Leo and CharleS-taken into GUS
tody in the courtroom yesterday by
order of Justice Laws after he raised
their bond from $1,000 to $4,000
each, languished in the lookup out
side the court for six hours, then
through professional bondsmen pro-
duced securities totaling $150.000
and escaped going to District Jail
They were released shortly after
pm.
Jury Selection Reported Involved.
While Mr.. Pine would not discuss
the evidence he had uncovered pend
ing completion of his investigation
and formal filing of contempt infor-
nations. it was reported authorita-
lively that the probe embraced cir
cumstances surrounding the selec-
ton of the jury, not only at the pres
ent trial, but at the previous trial last
November, in which the jury re-
manned out of three and half days
and was discharged with reported
deadlock of either 7 to to to 4
for conviction.
Other persistent reports were:
That attempts to purchase the in
fuence of persons summoned for
jury service is involved
That the alleged bribe offers in
volve the previous trial.
That the asserted efforts to inf1u-
ence the verdict reached inside the
jury box at the present trial.
That persons other than the War
rings also will be charged in the con-
tempt proceedings.
Calls on Pine to Act.
In explaining that several aftlda-
Wits which indicate that there has
been tampering with jurors in
this court" had been brought to him
at his home Sunday. Justice Laws
directed the United States attorney
to institute appropriate proceed
ings," that those involved might be
cited at the earliest possible date for
a determination Of whether they
were in contempt of court.
In raising the defendants bonds to
S50,OO0 each, the court pointed out
that admittedly huge gambling
enterprise has been maintained by
the three Warning defendants" and
"at least at one time they made
claim for deductions in income taxes
because of bribes to police officials. "
The heavy bonds on which the
brothers finally were released we're
furnished by Max and Meyer Vein
stein and Isaac Jones. Justice
Laws approved the bonds after
an hours conference in cham
bers with Mr.. Pine, Assistant United

States Would Lose
Under Roosevelt
Tax Plan, Is Claim
Princeton Professor
Says $96, ,000, 900 Would
Be Yearly Cost
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A special Senate committee re-
ceived report today that the States
would lose $96,0OO,O0O year by
elimination of existing tax exemp-
tions on Government securities.
The report was prepared by DR..
Harley l.. Lutz, public finance pro-
fessor at Princeton University, at
the request of Morris S. Tremaine,
New York State controller. 1t was
submitted at a hearing on Presl-
dent Roosevelt's recommendation
that exemptions on governmental
securities and salaries be wiped out.
Prof. Lutz said that if States
were allowed to tax Federal secur-
tties they would receive only ST.
100000 in additional revenue each
year. Federal taxation of State Sc
curities weld cost the States a
minimum of $113,000000 in in
creased interest costs. the report
added, leaving the States a net
loss of S96,000,000.
The report said the Federal Gov
ernment would gain S204 100000 a
year in revenue if it could tax both
State and Federal securities. But,
it was added the Government would
lose Sl87OOOOOO in added interest
costs, leaving profit of only
Sl7.00O000.
Elimination of exemptions, Prof.
Lutz said, would cost New York
State and its municipalities ST.
245,O00 in additional interest an
nually New Jersey and its mu-
inequalities would lose $17,000,000 a
year, he reported.
Federal authorities, supporting
the Presidents request for simple
statute ending the tax exemptions,
had told the Senate group earlier
that Federal revenue could be in
creased as much as S300000,00 an
nually.
At present salaries of State and
municipal employees are not subject
to Federal income taxes and the
States do not tax Federal salaries.
Income from most Federal, State
and municipal bond issues is tax
exempt.
Joined In opposition to the Presi-
dents proposal are the United
States Conference of Mayors, the
Institute of Municipal Law Officers
and the Conference on State De-
fense.

WACE-HOUR LAW
IS MAKING WORK

Washington, D. c. (ILNS).-Elmer
F. Andrews, in his first report to Con-
gress as administrator of the Wages
and Hour Act, says that it has not
caused any widespread layoffs, and has
won public approval.
Employees, employers and the pub
lie approve the purposes of the act,
and wish to see it become, within the
shortest possible time, an integral
part of the economic structure of this
country" he reported.
"For the present, the most notice
able immediate consequences of the
act have been adjustments in connec-
ton with the 25-cent minimum, and
a tendency toward increased employ.

Andrews estimated that the 25-cen1

EDITORIAL UNION

Chicago (ILNS).-A charter has
been issued by the American Fedora
tion of Labor to the Chicago Labor
and Community Press Workers Union.
Membership will be confined to en-
ployes in the editorial and 'front Of
flee" rooms of labor publications, COM
munity newspapers and foreign Ian
guage publications. The mechanical
departments only will not be ap-
preached by the new organization.
Employees of publications allied with
foreign governments will be barred.
This will mean that employees of prop
aganda organs of the Communist,
Nazi or Fascist persuasion cannot be-
come members. The policy will be
strictly pro-American.
The new organization has a poten-
tial strength of from 200 to $50 MEM
bers. The community and foreign
language press of Chicago wields
big influence. Banded together with
the labor press, this influence should
be greatly enhanced, it is felt. How
ever, the matter of hours, wages and
conditions of employment will be the
first consideration, it is said.

bership, over the guild. But at that
time the National Labor Relations
Board had not passed on the question
raised by the guild relative to the
status of the two newly y-formed A. F.
of L. newspaper organizations. The
guild called them Company unions"
The intermediate report of Henry
w. Schmidt, trial examiner of the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board Thir-
teenth Region, recently made, states
that both of these organizations are
bona fide trade unions within the
meaning of the law, which gives them
the right to represent the employees in
the departments they cover.
A. f. of l.. Majority Increased
Since calling of the strike, the ma
jority that these A. F. of L. unions
| had at that time, has been greatly in
creased. Guild members, realizing
that they had been gypped by so-called
leaders who misrepresented the true
situation to them, returned to work,
They resigned from the guild and
many of them have joined the Amer
lean Federation of Labor newspaper
unions. This leaves the guild out in
the cold, for a plant election can only
have on result-that of confirming the
right of the Chicago Editorial Asso-
citation and the Newspaper CONNER
clal Associates to represent the en-
| ployes of these newspapers who are
not covered by the other seven A. F.
of L. unions in the mechanical and de-
livery departments.
The report of the trial examiner was
a 100 per cent victory for the A. F. of
L. unions. The fact that the news
papers lost one case and won two
having>to reinstate one guild member
who was discharged before the two
new newspaper unions were formed
has nothing to do with either of these
unions. They were in no way involved
in the question of whether or not the
Hearst newspapers were guilty of un
fair labor practices.
Good Contract Signed
The Chicago Editorial Association
f has signed a contract with the man
agement of the Herald and Examiner
effective for one year from Januar,
; Fl. This is the best newspaper con
tract yet negotiated. Other contract

Numbers Count, Not Fares
(From L. G.'s Page, The Financial
World

Finding that increased passenger
fares have failed to expand revenues
proportionately, some of the railroads
are again going to try the experiment
of low rates to encourage traffic. This
is sensible procedure, especially in
periods of reduced incomes. 1t is not
what is charged to carry traveller
mile that succeeds in swelling receipts,
but what will tempt the greatest num-
Der of people to travel. A coach filled
to capacity is far more profitable than
when it is only partially occupied, for
the operating costs in each case are
virtually the same.
Two passengers at cent and
half mile will produce more reve-
nue. than one passenger at two cents.
1t is the number that counts more
than the fare itself.

the country could tell quite where to

President Roosevelt took up the mat
ter with his press conference; and nc
one has any doubt as to where he
stands.
| One of the most serious features OF
the case was brought out by Mayor
/ La Guardia, when he told the commit
tee that practically all our cities are
SO close to their debt limits that they
really have no leeway. Governor Leh-
man of New York backed this by say
ing that the slash would cause great
suffering and misery, and put burdens
on New York towns which they coulc
not bear.

Washington, d. C. (ILNS).-Prac-
tically every voice in the United States
outside of Big Business and ultracon-
servative politics is raised in protest
against the cut of $150,000,000 in
w. P. A. relief.
President William Green of the
American Federation of Labor has
sent the following letter to Senator
Alva B. Adams of Colorado, chairman
of the subcommittee of the Senate
that is considering the bill:
''The American Federation of Labor
maintains a very close relationship
with the relief needs of the nation. We
are constantly supplied with data and
information from the subordinate
branches of the American Federation
Of Labor located in every state, city,
town and village throughout the coun-
try regarding the shifting status of
unemployment and the number OF
those who are compelled to secure re-
lief through governmental relief
agencies.
Army of Idle Still Big
"The last compiled report of the
American Federation of Labor which
was for the month of November, 1888
shows that there were 10,423,1 ,184 per-
sons unemployed. There may have
been slight increase or decrease in
this number during the month OF De-
cember, 1898, and the current month
of January, 1889.
"These figures are deeply signifi-
cant. They show that the army of un-
employed and those dependent upon
them for life and sustenance are still
tremendously large. They are as
great as they were in March, 1886
when the records showed an army OF
unemployed amounting to 1O,482, ,496
The nations relief load is as great
now as it was during the year 1885
and the first three months of 1886.
"Taking these figures into account
and all supplemental factors and lnfor
nation available, it is my sincere ant
honest opinion that the Congress o

Chicago (ILNS). - In the second
month of a futile strike, called when
it became apparent that the Chicago
Editorial Association and the News
paper Commercial Associates, char
tered by the American Federation of
Labor, had substantial majority of
the employees in these two organiza-
tions, the Chicago Newspaper Guild
seems determined to ruin both papers,
if it is within its power. The fact that
it would throw approximately 5000
men and women out of work, appar-
emily means nothing to the guild,
which has adopted policy of rule or
ruin
There is little hope for the guild,
however, in the Chicago situation, as
there is every reason to believe that
the newspapers involved in the strike
OF functioning 100 per cent, manned
by members of American Federation
of Labor unions.
Death of Milwaukee Paper Cited
AS evidence of the intent and pur-
pose of the guild, the following is
quoted from a recent guild bulletin:
"This is to remind you that the Mil
waukee News, a Hearst afternoon
newspaper, died Saturday"
1t goes on to state that unless the
guild forthwith wins the strike, "the
fate of the Chicago Hearst papers can
only be that of the Milwaukee Hearst
newspaper"
In other words, unless the minority
C. |. 0. guild union is permitted to
dictate to the majority unions, what
they shall do and what the manage
ment shall do, the guild is going to see
to it that the papers are forced tc
suspend and that all employees on both
the Chicago Herald and Examiner anc
the Evening American, shall lose then
jobs.
! Sabotage Campaign Fails
There is no danger, however, of any
such outcome of the strike, as the tab
loid Herald and Examiner is spending
100000 putting in new presses t,
make the paper larger and better
proving that the guild campaign o
sabotage has been unsuccessful.
! There is more to this strike thai
appears on the surface to the averag
