SHIPSTEAD SCORES TAX PLAN AS AID TO RICH Says Administration Reduction Program Will Not Help Farmer and Wage Earner. By the Associated Press. HECTOR, Minn,, August 29.—Sen- ator Henrik Shipstead, Farmer-La- borite of Minnesota, criticized the ad- ministration’s tax reduction program as outlined by Republican leaders, in addressing a community picnic to- day. The proposed changes in the tax law “do not relleve the burdens of the poor,” he said, “while reduoing taxes on the incomes of the rich.” The Senator urged a reduction in the taxes imposed on the farmer and wage earner for the necessities of fe, which, he declared, are ‘pro- tected by a high protective tariff and excessive transportation rates.” Referring to proposed reduction of income taxes, he said: “This will only affect a few people In the United tes. Only about 6,000,000 pay in- come tax. The other 100,000,000 will not get relief from this proposed pro- ram of tax reduction.” 3-MONTH STRIKE SEPPING NEWS EVIDENT IN MINERS' ||, . =—— " SPIRIT IN QUITTING e vk property.

BY HARDEN COLFAX. Through the anthracite hills it sounds like a call to a strike, but over the bituminous fields the music is that of a golden-throaed horn. It is resurrection morning at the soft-coal mines. And in its grave clothes the industry is climbing up to jazz dance into a day of prosperity. The United Mine Workers of Amer- ica in effect have just handed the soft- coal operators an order for 2,000,000 tons of coal a week from now on. That i{s the way the smiling opera- tors of the soft-coal diggings look at John L. Lewls' call to lay down the pick in the Pennsylvania hills. They are jubilant, those bituminous coal barons who but yesterday stood hat in hand before the bar in bankruptcy. “Hot dog! Full-time work at last! That's the cry of gladness that echoes today through the cobwebs of soft-coal mines long boarded up. Those weather-heaten boards are com- ing down. Those rusty rails will shine tomorrow with the friction of a new activity. And into the holes in the hills will pour an eager army of men, long idle, on their way to a new day's work. Anthracite Stock Large. For soft coal must take the place of hard. There is above ground to- day a stock of anthracite no man has measured, but it is a dwindling stock, and not robust to the point of carry- ing the Nation far into the months of cold. Bituminous operators and miners don't care if the hard-coal strike never ends. Bituminous miners for many weary months have tightened the belt and grown gaunt with denal of work. Bituminous operators have formed in line at the courts of bank- ruptey. The industry has been stag- nant, lifeless, the cast-off of Ameri- can enterprise in a day of plenty. At a time when almost every other in- dustry has been rolling up handsome profits, bituminous coal has been writ- ing_mostly with red ink. The call to strike in the anthracite field has changed the outlook as if in a twinkling. Already, with the peak of normal demand coming along, bi- tuminous coal feels the thrill of a new and unexpected urge. 'The logical re- sult has been a slight stiffening in prices. As vet the upward price trend in the soft-coal fields has been almost imperceptible. But it is undeniably on the way, and many operators al- ready have felt its first stirrings. Union Mines Again to Work. More than 10,000,000 tons of bitum- inous were mined last week, almost | wholly to meet the ordinary seasonal demand. Because of the dominance of non-unfon coal in the bituminous | markets, this great tonnage delivered | from the earth has resulted in l»u” little profit to the union mines. But| the non-union flelds working almost to capacity and the| new demand, created by the hard-coal strike, cannot be taken care of by non-union soft-coal operators. The overflow orders will go to the| union mines. Dispatches from the fleld to Washington tell of great hopes and expectations everywhere | in the belt where anthracite and bituminous compete for the house- holder’s favor. The rallroads have sensed the coming of the strike and have prepared for the turn in the tide of trafic by massing their open- car equipment at points near the union fields. ‘While anthracite miners are lay- ing down thelr tools in Pennsylvania, bituminous miners in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and West Vir- ginia are picking up theirs. The lay- off in anthracite is putting on addi- Even as far South as Alabama, the effect of the anthracite strike will be as a tonic on the bituminous workings, reports indicate, and clear Utah and Washington. the stimulant Salesmen Local corporation has opening for two (2) proven men of demon- strated ability and large earning capacity.

Up to the present the record for soft-coal production in a single week stands at about 13,250,000 tons. The trade is talking now of a new rec- ord, a capacity output of nearly 000,000 tons, from the soft-coal felds it the anthracite miners and oper- ators remain deadlocked for six weeks or more.

He seems still to have the confidence, respect and sympathy of those who criticise his regulations. Doses Held Too Large. There are many who belleve that he has been feeding the public traffi: direction in doses too large and too rapid for ready assimilation, that he has been developing his plans and regulations faster than the public could absorb them. There are still others who assert that the regulations are illogical and unworkable and for the most part should be changed. In any event, it is quite apparent that the public generally for one rea son_or another, s dissatisfied with traffic conditions in the streets of Washington, and the demand 1is be- coming more and more insistent that Director- Bldridge proceed at once to simplify his regulations. Failure to do this, observers of the situation point out, may lose him public operation, and, ultimately, public con. fidence. DAVIS UNCERTAIN ON COAL “Canada May and May Not Get Any From U. 8.,” Says Secretary. TORONTO, August 29 (#).—When asked today to express an opinion r garding the coal situation, James J. Davis, American Secretary of Labor, who Is a guest of the directorate at the Canadian national exhibition, said “Canada may, and again she ma not, get any United States coal this Winter."

YFAIR diate Occupancy Manager TS HEH REGOD N USE OF WATER Daily Consumption in Wash- ington for Fiscal Year Totals 65,733,949 Gallons. Washington established a new high record for water consumption during the last fiscal year, when t's mean daily consumption reached 65,373,949 gallons, J. S. Garland, superintendent of the Water Department, told the Commissioners in his annual report yesterday. This was an increase of more than 1,000,000 gallons over the mean daily consumption of 64,080,000 gallons for the preceding year. With the new conduit from Great Falls nearing completion, however, the water situation soon will be on a safe basis, he adds. For a number of years the steadily increasing use of water was a source of uneasiness to city officials because the single con duit which brought the entire supply from Great Falls was being worked to capacity with little or no oppor tunity of making repairs. Provides for New Equipment. Congress several vears ago began appropriating funds to construct a new conduit, a new filtration plant and two new reservoirs, which will double the city’s supply and meet the needs of Washington for years to come. Supt. Garland, in his apnual report vesterday, again called attentign to the serious handicap placed om department, due to inadequate appro- priations for the extension of water service mains to keep pace with rapid growth of the city.

More Space for Storage Needed. “Attention is called to the urgent need of more space for water storage in our third high service system, as under present conditions it is ne sary to operate pumps almost tinuously on this service,” Mr. G land said. “An appropriation to pur- chase a reservolr site adfacent to the existing basin is being sought An- other basin would add materially to the safety of this service in case of a breakdown of the pumps.” Mr. Garland also told the Commis- sioners that the situation in Anacostia 1s fast approaching the point where a radical change will be necessary to provide permanent and adequate wa- ter supply for the territory east of the Anacostia River.
