Back tax claims, which the govern- Went is now endeavoring assiduously to _collect. amount to more than a milllgn dollars each. it was revealed yesterday at the Treasury. The campaign to collect delinquent taxes s setiled down over the en- tjre country, with special emphasis on the 1917 accounts.

Today the hostilit jto unionism—or a more accurate term i cases have occurred where the munici- | would be national domination by unions pal authorities objected to the use of has risen out of the mass of people !who have been injured by the recent controversies over transportation and fuel. Tracing the lines of public thought, any foreigner has the right to raise jone finds a certain impatience that con- roversies of a major character cannot is little disposition to_argue the merits of any controversy. Few persons. out- | side of labor's ranks, whom the writer Lencountered, were ready to s “The ishopmen were right. we must suffer for | their cauge” The public isn't in the habit of fnviting injury to ftself—it re- sents interference with normal occupit- jtions and mostly it resents being de prived of necessities of life. Believe Unions Overplay 1 If the leaders of trade unionism could e realized in advance the psycho- {logical effect which the rail and coal {strikes would have on the cause ot unionigm as a whole, they might have hesitated to permit either of the big |strikes to go as far as they did. Dozens of distinguished men who tried to weigh impartially the merits of both strikes told the writer they be- lieved the leaders of the strikes over- played their hands—carried their| fight to the extremes And If labor was the victim of !bungling leadership, the same might |be said of the other side. Any one who travels from one end of the country to the other on a “swing around the circle” must journey on dozens of different railroads and can- | not help observing the condition of | {the roads, the morale of the workers {and the general feeling of the public iabout train service. The situation to- | {day resembeles closely the conditions | ijust after the war ended. Trains are ! hedules curtailed. mails are | necessarily delaved. freight is badly | :(‘()nkfl‘slfd in certain regions where | {perishable goods must be moved and | the transportation muddle is so big that the wonder of it all is how the | public bears the strain. i i | h Symptoms of Revolt. i {loused—they had their experiences with i war-time railroading and gave vent to their feelings in the 1918 election. To- | day they realize that the strikes of | last summer have left deep wounds in | the railroad systems of the country. 1 But they will not stand it indefinitely— | there are symptoms of revolt. Here! 1 { perhaps government control would be | better after all. The farmers are by no means appeased on the subject of freight rates. Labor is sullen. The sentiment for government control could easily be roused in many parts of this country and made an fssue in the next election. It all depends on what the railroads can do toward giving efficient service in the next eighteen months. | If individual impressions count for anything, the morale of the railroad workers—trainmen, conductors, engi- | ineers and firemen—never was at a| ilower ebb. The workers are bitter agianst their employers. They give !the appearance, at any rate, of not caring _when they bring trains into terminals. Again and again on my journey engines were not readv at the start of trains. Cars were con- !stantly being put on trains which should never have been carried. One night in the west a defective car was attached to & fast train. It caused a delay of four hours. Inquiry devel- oped the fact that the same car was carried on another train the previous night and should have been put in the shops, but it wasn't. Other Imdustries Call. ‘Many of the striking shopmen have found jobs in other industries. Labor is scarce in the automobile industry and in the mechanical trades. Many shopmen who know how to repair en- gines will never be persuaded to re- turn to the railroads. The Ilagter will have to get along with the inex- ! perienced strikebreakers for many | months to come. Improvement in railroad service must necessarily be | slow. The openness with which trainmen show their hostility to the railroads is surprising. They discuss these strikes frankly with perfect strang- iers and point at the strikebreakers { with contempt. Statistics have been published showing the immense cost to the railroads of their fight against the shopmen. It was a victory of doubtful value. If the railroads -be- lieve the workers have been cowed they are much mistaken. They have been embittered. Their spirit of hos- tility will cost the roads millions of dollars more, wWhile the effect on the public in dollars and cents is as yet incalculable. Question Vital to Future. So trade unionism lost prestige, the railroads lost eficiency, the public is paying a huge bill of costs and no- body can claim victory. And it's all because no tribunal exists with suf- ficient authority or prestige to settle disputes without war. The United States Labor Board has lost ground. It is criticized because it is com of three groups—one Tepresenting labor, one representing the public and one representing the rafl. roads. The group really decides NG_ STAR,, For one thing the people are cal-!s {us waited to see what would happen. BELGIUM PREPARES TO HONQR ITS .

The next Congress will make a cardinal mistake {f it attempts to side- step the iseues developed by the rail and coul strikes. Shall organizations of labor and capital wield power great- er than that of the government itsell and be able to inflict injury on the public almost at will? 1t's the biggest of the unsettled problems before the country today. and one whose settle- ment will mean more to the ultimate prosperity of the United States in this era of commercial expansion than any other single development in the next two years.

Forecast of greater trade between the United States and South America this year than last year. was made today by Director Klein, of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, who is scting secretary of comamerce, in the absence of Secretary Hoaver. Increases during the past three months, he deciared. make the advance for the year apparent _ During September, Mr. Klein stated, a 5 per cent increase over August valucs took place in the total trade of _the United States with Latin Americpn, | while 20 per cent more business ‘was done with Latin America during Septem- Ler than with September of 1921. How- ever, he added, during the first nine months of 1922 there was 11 per cent lese trade than for the corresponding period of 1921. . Goods From Argentima. Argentina.” Mr, Klein said, “ship- of her products to the United States dur- ing September as she did during the same months of 1921, and purchased from us slightly less than 50 per cent more than the same months last year. Notwithetanding the low figures of our trade with Argentina during the early months of this year, by the mdi of September 5 per cent more business had been done between these two countries than <during ‘the first nine months of 1921, “Brazil eold to the United States per cent more of her products in than during the same month of 1921, and purchased 12 per cent more. A curious situation arose in_the trade of the United States with Argentina and with Brazil during Beptember; whereas last year the im- ports of the United States from Brazil were almost double those from Ar- gentina; our imports this year from Argentina were almost 60 per cent greater than from Brazil. “Chilean_trade also has greatly in- creased. September, 1922, shows an increase in {mports from that coun-! try amounting to approximately 30 Der cent, and our exports thereto are 125 per cent larger than the same months last year. “The trade balance, both for the month of September and for the first nine months of this year, shows the imports of the United States from South America are considerably in excess of our exports thereto. = Ar- gentina, however, purchased 15 per cent more from us than she sold to us.” —_— “AMERICA AND VERDUN.” Col.

TUESDAY, -NOVEMBER 7, 1922 IFRENCH PATIENCE WITH TURKS EBBS Warship Rushed to Constan- tinople to Back Up De- mands of Powers. IN ACCORD WITH ALLIES London Uneasy Over New De- mands—Anxiety Increased by Lack of News. By the Associated Press. PARIS, November 7.—The TFrench ~overnment appears to have reached he limit of its patience in dealing i with the Turks and is tending more and more to stiffen its attitude to- ward the Angora government. This is the interpretation given in political circles here to the sailing today of the dreadnaught Jean Bart trom Toulon to join the allied fleet at Constantinopic in the face of the Angora goverpment's demand that al- lied warships seek permission before entering Turkish ports. In Full Aceord. <1t was raid in oMcial that the French high commis in Constantinople has been instructed tin full accord with the other allied xrommlsnumers in their demand that the terms of the Mudania armistice be complied with in every respect. The feeling here is that the repre- sentatives in Conatantinople of the Angora government may be pursuing l!heir present tactics with the idea that It is possible. little by little, to Iundermme the authority of the allies {in advance of the decisions of the {Lausanne peace conference. 1 The allied troops now in Constan- itinople are regarded as sufficient to maintain order unless there should Le s general uprising of the Turks, «which is looked upon as impossible. { ANXIETY IN LONDON. ted Press. By the Assoc LONDON, November 7.—The surpris- ing demands which the Kemalists have made upon the allies in Con- stantinoplc since they took over the civic government there on Saturday ! 4till cause a great deal of anxiety in London. The feeling of uneasiness has been intensified by the scarcity of news from Constantinople in the iast | thirty-six hours. All of the London newspapers treat lnm situation seriously and promi- nently. Deep suepicion of the arms of the Turkish nationalists is almost unanimous among the papers. and all of them seem worried about the safety of the non-Turkish population at the sublime porte.

Confer With Kemal Chiefs. The demands of the Kemalists which the allied commissioners have refused to grant and the new crisis which has arisen from this situation were the subject of a conference Yes- terday between the allied generals and Rafet Pasha, the new civil gov- ernor of Constantinople. The tone of this meeting was sharp and positive, in strong contrast to the previous meetings which dly and bny‘l":e:m)’d generals informed Rafet 2 in clear terms that they in- &‘;’: & o Mretain military authority in Constantinople until it is decided to formally turn the area over to the Turks. © Rafet then sald he was anxious to agree with the allies and Work in unison with them. but that he could not accept outside control in any form. He added that he would have to refer to the Angora govern- ment for further instructions and welld again consult with the allied representatives toda Autherity in Dispute, Lieut. Gen. Sir Charles Harington. in command of British florces at Constantinople, told Rafet that he apparently was {rying to usurp the rity of the allied generals. The Aoy aader then declared that Angora had asked for the removal of the allied troops and warships. Rafet had assumed control of all services for maintaining public order 5 well as the departments of public administration in Constantinople. He $2s been dismissing officials right and left and closing the ocustoms. Feminding him of these things, Sir Charles told the nationalist governor that apparently he had forgotten there was a treaty of Mudros, signed October 30, 1918, bringing an end to hostilities between the allied pow- o3 and Turkey. He reminded the governor of the city that this armi- Stice treaty was not superseded by the Mudania convention. Lieut. Gen. Harington then declared that Constantinople eventually would be turned over to the nationalists and he thought that this might take place within g few weeks. i Meanwhile the allies will be re- sponsible for the maintenance of pub- lic security and they are not going to give up that responsibility, Sir Chatles insisted. There could be no dual control, he sail. His declarations wore indorsed by Col. Charpy and Gen. Mombelli, the French.and Italian military representatives here. Mere Demands May Be Made.
