WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.
"The conscrlptlon-of-wcalth" inneincnt
scored a notable ailvancu this afternoon
when the Senate, by a oto of 74 to n,
adopted the Gerry amendment adding ap
proximately $40,000,000 to the ley on in
dividual Incomes over $500,000. The" amend
ment authorizes a levy of C7 per cent on
Incomes In excess of $1,000,000.
Wealth-conscription advocates won a
second victory when, by ,i vote of 35 to
32, tho Senate approved the Fo-called Lcn
root hurtax on Incomes between $80,000
and $500,000. The Lcnroot rate of 13.75
per cent., adopted by the House, was re
duced to 12 per cent by the Senate Finance
Committee.
After the Scnato by viva voce vote bad
put back Into the hill all the Lenroot lax
rates on Incomes from $30,000 to $500,000
In place of lower rates voted for by the
Senate Finance Committee. Senator La
Folletto offered a substitute for the entire
Income tax section of the bill.
Thia substitute begins with a 1 per cent
tax on incomes of $5000 and runH to "ill per
cent tax on incomes of more than $47,500.
Previous to the adoption of the amend
ment, Senator Lodge has predicted that
before the war was over the Government
would have to take 00 or even SO per cent
of war profits.
Ho defended the present bill on tho
gtound that American credit must not be
Imperiled, Ho argued that to begin by mak
ing the tax rato too high, following Gov
ernment regulation of many Commodity
prices, would dlstuib business, cut off
profits, nnd ruin sources of tevenue.
Senator Lewis, of Illinois Injected a sen
sation In to the discussion by prophesying
that unless wealth Is conscripted tho peo
ple will eelzo tho resources of the nation.
Ho attacked tax dodgers, saying they have
swindled the Treasury of vast sums.
Senator Towncnd, of Michigan, also de
clared himxelf In favor of taking all war
profits, since the war Is not popular.
Senator Lodge also asserted that peace
at the present time Is impossible.
"No peace without complete, victory for
Amctica and her allies Is possible," he said.

P. J. CaVan, organizer for the

400 men are out in Philadelphia.
Advices from Ghcster say that
1200 men walked out at tho Chester
Shipbuilding Company's plant.
Alarming proportions were assumed by
the strike of shipyard workers today when
the Chester Shipbuilding Company's plant,
nt Chester, wns forced to close down be
cause virtually the entire force of employes
had quit. Tho plant was constructing eight
large ships for the Government. General
Manager W. P. Smith said that tho trouble
did not come ns a formal strike, but that
the men simply failed to nppear for work.
Ho said he doubted whether tho walk-out
was pai t of the general strike.
Twelve hundred of the men failed to re
port yesterday, but work was continued.
When an additional 300 were missing today,
the plant was closed. The grievance of the
men Is purely one of wages, it is said, and
tho union's demand for an eight-hour day
Is not considered vital by the Chester men.

ENEMY BROUGHT DOWN
. LONDON, Aug. 12.
Germany's campaign! of "air frightful
ncss" against England was renewed on a
big scale early today, two attacks being
made against the east coast.
Two airplanes vvero downed and tho air
ships driven off before they could venture
over )ho land any distance.
The damago as officially reported showed
eleven killed and thirteen wounded at Dover
in the airplane raid and three killed and two
Injured by the airships' bombs.
A hospital and sevcstil buildings were
damaged at Ramsgate by the airplanes. A
chapel and several houses were wrecked and
damaged In three small coast villages In
Yorkshire by the airships. Only two of the
dirigibles ventured over land there.
For the first time In months Germany
used airships in an ntfhck off the Yorkshire
coast last night. A statement, issued today
by Lord French, said they were sighted off
the coast and one had attacked points
around the mouth of the River Humber.

the sea.
Margate and Dover are In Kent, near the
mouth of ithe Thames. Possibly tho Ger
man raiders were bent on following the
Thames up tolLondonv
Tho Humber River and Yorkshire are at
least 165 miles north of the Thames. Hull,
one of the great shipbuilding centers In
England, Is a short distance up the Hum
tier. Probably the attackers were not Zep
pelins, as it haH heretofore been the practice
of official statements specifically to name
such marauders as Zeppelins if they were
of thin type. They may have been observa
