No one seems to know how it happened. killed in a blast at the Hammond Colliery, near Girardville, and soon after a miner was so badly injured at Ellangowan, under a fall of rock, that he died quickly. Doctors in with Company Accidents are studied after they happen. All knowledge of them is afterthought. Usually the victim’s buddy is too excited to observe what has happened, while the bosses who come later to investigate, doctor and patch’ things up so that the inspector finds everything in a legal condition and points a warning finger at the victim. As the mines become older, and more nearly worked out, they are in- creasingly difficult to operate.

NATIONAL ECONOMY IN 1927-28. the U.S.S.R. has published draft con: trol figures (orientation plan) of the national economy of the Union for the financial year 192 Although all the po post-war reconstruction period are exhausted and the economic deyvelop- ment of the U.S.S.R. has been pro- ceeding at a rapid rate during the last few years, we can say that the forthcoming year will witness a still more rapid development of national economy as a whole as well as in its separate branches, which means con- siderable consolidation of national economic power. INDUSTRY. Compared with 1926-27, there is to| a 17.6 per cent increase of pro- on in 1927-28. This increase is I ble owing to big capital expen- diture during the last two years, which is to be continued in 1927-28. In regard to value, the production | f manufactured articles will increase | mly 12.7 per cent, because it is pro- nosed to reduce in the coming year the cost of production by 4.5 per cent and wholesale selling prices of manu- factuted articles, 6.1 per cent.

Representatives of great business organizations asserted at the commit- tee’s hearing that their business should be relieved of taxes as it is “honest business,” not cheap, competi- tive business. On the other hand, demands are |being made by the small taxpayers that the law be revised to prevent |families of great wealth from escap- |ing taxation through creating holding companies and trust funds, and the piling up of great undistributed sur- pluses in family-owned corporations. Supporting the demand for revision is the present status of tax disputes with the government. Reports were presented showing that the treasury had before it 474,5€5 unsettled cases at the end of the last fiscal year, while the board of tax appeals had on its docket 10,000 undecided cases. Many disputes go back to assess- ments for 1917. tions. It took no practical measures towards cutting down the drug men- ace. Help A Message of them. ast 11th St. New York City.
