133 HELD CAPTIVE IHW.VA
Lewis. Not Disclosing Source Of His
Information, Says He Wishes To
"Prevent Massacre"
Indianapolis, Ind. Bearing an an
iG'il from the union coal miners of tha
country, a committee appointed at the
convention of the United Mine Work
era of America left here for Washing
ton to ask President Harding to give
protection to 138 miners who are state
prisoners in West Virginia jails. The
committee was said to have no specific
plan to suggest to the president, but
It was pointed out that federal troops
ore In Mingo and Logan counties,
which were the seat of tha recent mine
war involving state troopers and offi
cers, hum guards, strikers and their
sympathizers.
Besides being authorized to give in
formation directly to President Hard
ing, the committee had a written mes
sage from President John L. Lewte of
the union, who said it explained the
West Virginia situation with a view of
showing that the lives of the prisoners
are in jeopardy, and that protection
cannot bo expected from state offienhi.
Lewis declined to make his message
public, but, among other things, it was
understood to have alleged that Don
Chafin, sheriff of Logan county, had
visited the Mingo county jail and taunt
ed the prisoners with suggestions of an
attempt to break jail.
Many of the prisoners are charged
with murder, among these being C.
P. Keeney ami Fred Mooney, president
and secretary, respectively, of the min
ers' union. Others "re said to be held
on le-,o .;ri::i.- aaenen, but all aro
said to be held fs a result of the trou
ble growing out of the miners' union
effort to organize the southern West
Virginia coal fields.
The committee sent from the con
vention here to call on President Har
ding consists of J. I).- Wiggin3 of
Spring, W. Va.; V. C. Hughes of Clif
ford, Ills.; and E. J. (liles of Charlton,
Jowa. In naming the committee. Pres
ident Lewis declared th,e miners wished
-to prevent "any massacre," but did not
disclose the private advices from West
Virginia that were the basis for the
alarm. A letter from Mr. Money, who
Is at the Mingo county jal, was said to
have told of action which made tho
prisoners fearful.
While the convention was at a stand
still, various committees were at work
on a speed-up program with a view cf
condensing the prognyn to three days,
with October 6 set as the latest date
jfor final adjournment.
No set order of business will prob
ably be adopted, but the committee on
resolutions plan to bring some of the
more important of the six hundred po
sitions bearing on varicH -.!,;:.
before the convention. Ti.e e i 1 ii; i;
in the form of resolutions, were drai.cu
by local unions scattered throughout
the country.
Other commltco3 are hurrying to
complete reports (or the consideration
of the delegates, and the convention
leaders plan to hold sessions until the
work has been cleaned up, which has
lagged during the last two weeks, di3
voted largely to factional strife.

HOUSE WILL DELAY
DEBATE ON FUNDS
DECIDES TO POSTPONE MEAS
URES UNTIL AFTER ARM- ,
AMENT CONFERENCE
THREE POWERS TO MEET
Strong Sentiment Among Lawmakers
To Ban Warship Building During
World Gathering
Washington. Invitations recently
to Belgium, The Netherlands and Por
tugal to participate in tho approach
ing conference on the limitation of
armament, closes the bonk. This,
therefore, limits tho conference to
;'ive major and four minor powers, the
major powers being the United States,
Great Britain, France, Japan and Italy,
while the minor powers are China,
Belgium, Portugal and Netherlands.
The latter powers are not interested
in the problem of naval disarmament
but are keenly interested in the prob
lems of the Far East in that they
have many conflicting interests with
Creat Britain in that issue.
The houso committee on appropria
tions has tentatively decided not to
take up or discuss the army and navy
appropriation bills for the fiscal year
beginning July 1. 1922, until after th(
armament conference, and there Is
now a strong movement to have this
government stop nil work on warships
luring the conference. President
Harding will be urged to that end,
Senators Borah and Poreuiene takin
the initiative. These senators are of
the opinion that such a suspension by
the United States would make a con
siderable impression in the world. It
might not impress foreign delegates
to the disarmament conference, but
it would impress the people of tho
nm! lies from which tho delegates
tome, the senators hold.
"If the world gets to know Mnt
America is honest about this disarm
ament matter the people in other
countries will exert a tremendous in
fluence of their delegates to the Wash
ington conference, and we bh.ill end
by having all the nations honestly and
earnestly seeking w ays to reduce -armaments,"
said Borah.
"IMt how farcical for us to eo cm
building dreadnaughts, cruisers and
(!e.t rovers while we solemnly talk
about lituitin;'n:ivul armaments.
"Of course, we will be told ilnt
the 0. her nations with naval programs
are continuing. This continua'.ve will

"But to a "ica i ,,;iy folks in nu

The determination of the .;or.s- ap
propriations committee, to hold up fic
tion on the big supply bills v.h not
only lo prevent embarrassment to the
ainvin!5(iilion during lite pa lv iiy
having ccnress debate armament ex

may dictate material changes in tho
amount of money the navy an .1 ar i v

tior.nl womau's party, after two days'
discussion, has decided that the con
stitutional amendment removing leal
inequalities of women will be intro
duced at the beginning of the regular

would be useless because of the pos
sibility of an adjournment of congress,
and the short time remaining for dis
cussion. The amendment is designed
to remove all legal inequalities now
operating against women, in nil states,
The council decided that tho dedlca

SUBSTITUTE PLANS OFFERED
Senator Simmons Says Transportation
Taxes Ought To Be Taken Off To
Insure Return To Normalcy
Washington. Two separate tax pro
grams as substitutes for most of the
levy provisions in the pending revenue
division bill were presented in the
senate one from the Republican side
and one from the Democratic side, re
cently. Senator Smooth of Utah proposed:
1. A manufacturers' sales tax of 3
per cent on articles as finally finished
or produced for consumption or use.
2. Repeal or all of the special war
taxes, of whatever nature, Including
the excess profits and . tansportation
levies.
3. Retention of the existing 10 per
cent income tax on corporations.
Senator Smoot proposed no change
in the committee plan with regard to
Individual income taxes, or the exist
ing tobacco, liquor and inheritance
taxes.
Senator Simmons of North Carolina
proposed:
1. A graduated income tax on corpo
rations, ranging from 12 12 to 25 per
cent in lieu of the excess profits tax.
2. Restoration of the income surtax
rate3 to a maximum of 52 per cent
on incomes in excess of $500,000.
3. Repeal of the transportation tax
es on freight, passenger and Pullman
accommodations.
4. Retention of tho corporation cap
ital stock tax.
Repeal of the $2,000 exemption al
lowed corporations.
5. That individual exemptions be
confined to incomes below $20,000.
6. Slight reductions in the normal
rates on Incomes below $20,000.
Senator Simmons told the senate
that if there could be an agreement
for an equitable readjustment of the
taxes so that the several groups of
taxpayers would be on a parity as pro
posed in the Democratic program, he
personally would bo willing to give se
rious consideration to a manufacturers'
sale or consumption tax, properly safe
guarded, as a substitute for all of the
miscellaneous taxej imposed under
the present law.
Senator Simmons offered the Demo
cratic tax program to the senate at the
conclusion of a three hours' address,
In which he vigorously assailed the sen
ate finance committee bill as one pro
viding for tax reduction "in behalf of
the corporations and i'1" n'tra rich."
"Taking the bill from the beginning
to the end of it," he said, "there is
hardly a tax that is touched where the
little man is not forgotten and Ignored
and his rights trampled upon while
the rich man's slightest whispers for
relief arc heard and the' money of the
people lavishly rebated and remitted
to these men who havp trown so
mighty in this country that th": tuu fix
the prices of my products when it Is
one of their raw materials and then
fix the price I shall pay for the finished
product after they have manipulated
It." "
Assailing tho committee proposal to
retain the taxes on ff eight, passenger
and Pullman at half the present rates,
Senator Simmons said if there was
any tax "that ought to be taken off in
the Interest of business so that we
may have a speedy return to normalcy
In this coutnry, it is this tax."
Senator McCtimbcr of North Dakota
(ranking llepublcar. on the finance
committee), in replying, declared the
North Carolina senator had not offer
ed one word of constructive thought."
"I can't help but contrast the dif
ference," he declared, "between the
support given now by the senator from
North Carolina and his adherents and

Sport as in Spain.
Lisbon. Sailors of the American
warships who were entertained Iu this
city when the American squadron vis
ited Portugal the other day, saw a
Portuguese N bullfight and lustily
cheered for one of the bulls.
A Portuguese bullfight Is more a
display of splendid horsemanship and
skillful feints than a cruel sport, such
as the Spanish bullfight. There Is no
bloodshed. The bulls are merely
teased by the bullfighters and others,
who pierce their hides with tlrl-.' tor

The American boys cheered all thin
with great enthusiasm, but the real
outbreak came when one bull leaped

bullfighters, scuttering them right nni'
