STRIKE SETTLEMENT PLAN INTERRUPTED Trolleymen’s Leader Accuses Commis- sioner Woods of Being Unfair— Recardon To See Gov. Walsh. Holyoke, Mass., Aug. 13.—Negotia- tions for settlement of the street car mens' strike, were interrupted today when John H. Reardon of Worcester, leader of the strikers, charged that Charles G. Wood, commissioner of the state board of conciliation and arbitration, “had been unfair and had conducted himself in a manner un- becoming a state official.” Reardon announced that he had arranged a meeting With Governor Walsh at Boston today to present his charges in detail. commissioner had also tried to make him a scapegoat for the commission- er's own shortcomings in newspaper | interviews. Commissioner Wood injected a new element into the situation late last night by suggesting that a settlement be reached by reference to an arbi- tration board composed of a repre- sentative of the union, a representa- tive of the company and chairman to be chosen by the other two. This method had been in force under the agreement that expired June first, of this year, and despite the fact that the original cause of the strike was the union's aversion to it, was chosen again by the two parties in confer- ence .on Wednesday as the method to be established under the agreement pending for 1915. With Executive Agent John H. Reardon in Boston to prefer charges against Commissioner Wood, other union officials declined to comment on -the proposal. HEADED FOR WAR ZONE.

TI result is that each year the rate in- creases, and this increase causes more sequestration, the more that is hidden, the higher the rates, and so, marching out of step, general property taxation unenforcible and cre- ates disrespect and disregard for all laws.” come tax, as each individual should contribute to the support of the com- munity proportionately as he profits by all the protection it affords to his life and property and contributes to his welfare and comfort.” He concluded by advocating form tax laws in all states, uni- “PEACE WITH HONOR.” Vice President Marshall Says That's What Wilson Wants, Kansas City, Aug. 13.—"Peace with honor is what President Wilson is trying to hold for the United States” said Thomas R.

B. Peckinpaugh, member of the Ohio State Tax Commission, in | an address before the National Tax ! Conference here today. The speaker discussed the move- ment in Ohlo during recent years where a tax limit law was passed in 1910 which attempted to prevent in-} creasing the tax rate over the prevl- Ous years, The first year of its operation showed that thelr valua- tions increased 149 per cent. the aver- age taxX rate decreased 163 per cent. The signal mistake of the law, he sald, was In attempting to limit the rate rather than the amount of money to be raised. The speaker cited instances where the law had no deterrent effect on expenses while many growing communities were actu- ally seriously injured through inabil- ity to secure absolutely necessary funds. In other words, a rate limit law served of no real benefit unless some provision were made for those localities with impoverished tax lists and also for progressive growing com- munities which justly need increased levies. The proper limitation was one which affects not the tax rate but the amount of money to be ex-! pended and provided that this should not exceed the amount in the previ- ous year plus some fixed per cent. ex- cept in emergencies.
