Government Defrauded to Amount by Violators of Law. That ‘Washington, June 20.—How violators of the oleomargarine law have de- frauded the federal government out of at least $27,000,000 due in stamp and special taxes was revealed tonight by Secretay McAdoo in a statement bas- ed upon a preliminary report on a sweeping investigation conducted by Commissioner Osborne of the internal revenue bureau. Frauds committed as long ago as 1902, immediately after the enactment of the law, have been uncovered by the commissioner. He began his in- quiry some months ago and from time to time news of prosecutions has reached the public, but until tonight no Inkling had been given of the wide scope of the investigation or of its extraordinary results. Unpaid taxes aggregating $851,000 have been recovered and deposited in the treas- ury, “with the prospect of further very large collections.” Forty-two vi- olators of the law have twen convict- ed since the first of January and twnty-nine of these have been given prison sentences. Fines aggregating $143,000 have been assessed, in ad- dition +o the recoveries actually made, and the announcement declares that while fraudulent practices of this sort probably have been checked the in- vestigation will be continued and ev- ry law breaker brought to justice.” The announcement shows that since 1902 more than 200,000,000 pounds of colored oleomargarine have been man- ufactured and fraudulently sold as un- colored oleomaragarine.

An example of almost unbelievable thrift was exposed when the shack occupied for a number of years by Owen Rupert, a helpless cripple, in| Newport, Or., was searched, following} death, and revealed more than 3800 in sold. For about twenty years Rupert had been a bedridden cripple without eny funds or means of support except $10 a month from Lincoln County. His shack was a one-story building on piling over Yaquina Bay. On some of the bright days of sum- mer Rupert would be seen sittimg in a chair which he had to be helped into, but that was all the pleasure he got in life, as few Newport residents knew of his existence or visited him.

Statement bv General Manager. Mr. Bardo's statement is as follows: “Since the statement issued on June 8 by the company regarding the con- troversy with its freight clerks, nego- tiations have been going on with a view to reaching an agreement. At an extended conference held on Monday, June 14, between the clerks' commit- tee and the operating officers of the rompany, at which the federal con- ciliator, Clifton Reeves, was present, all the questions at issue, some six- teen, were fully discussed and a meth- od of settlement reached in fourteen of them, and in respect to the two re- maining cases a plan of adjustment was tentatively agreed upon. Right of Company. “One of these two cases relates to the right of the company to determine the fitness and ability of a freight clerk seeking promotion to the position of foreman which requires ability to oversee and direct freight house opera- tions, the company having taken the stand that it alone and mnot the em- ployes must be the judge of the man's fitness for advancement. The other relates to the right of the company to classify its employes. Ability and Fitness. “The obligation of the company to decide the question of ability and fit- ness is fundamental and its officers are required by law to select compe- tent employes. Notwithstanding this, the officers expressed a willingness to submit to arbitration whethér the com- pany’s position in respect to these twa cases is justified. ¥ e adjustment of the sixteen cases tentatively agreed to by the committee and the company met with the ap- proval on the part of the federal con- cillator who had been invited by the clerks’ committee to t in the set- tlement of the controver: The mat- ter thus having apparently come to a successful conclusion, the management was amazed to receive communication from the clerks’ committee on June 16 and advising thet no settlement could be made in the mgnner agreed upen at the Monday conference. ¥ Will Fulfill Obligations. “In the event that some of the com- pany’s freight clerks go on strike, now seems likely, the company will endeavor by all proper means to per- form 1 igation to its loyal em- ployes and to the shipping public.” STRIKE TO BE DECLARED BY NOON TODAY.

The churches, the schools, the mills were all examples of this fact. At the beginning of the last century the country was in a reconstructive state, following the break with the mother country. At this time the schools that were established, the churches that were organized, the mills that wers bullt -were ali the fruit of past exper- fence, and comprehend all that was lknown at that time in each of these several branches of endeavor. The lesson to be drawn is that individulism is giving way to social consciousness. All the preparation of the past is to be used In preparation for what is to come.
