One-third of Workers in Sym

to Duties '
Winnipeg, June JO. (By A. P.)
The sympathetic strike of Winnipeg
Iron workers, which began on May lfi,
was considered broken today, so far as
Us effect upon the safety, welfare and
convenience of the general public is
concerned. It was estimated that about
one-third of the men and women in
volved in the sympathetic walkout have
returned to work, and that many otheru
have applied for their former positions.
Reorganization of the Winnipeg police
force was begun today, the city having
discharged late yesterday all policemen
who refused to sign an oath not to join
a sympathetic strike hereafter. Mean
while protection was being furnished by
several hundred special constables re
cruited from returned soldiers.
At a stormy meeting of the city coun
cil which lasted until after midnight
$150,000 waa appropriated to pay for
the special police force.
Today, the eighth of the strike, found
Vancouver life nearly normal, except
for the badly crippled condition of the
water front activities. Loading and

DOWER RIGHTS
MUNITION PROFIT TAX
WINS IN APPEAL COURT
Judge Buffington Writes Opin
ion Against Makers of.
Parts for Sholls
Tho government's wartime tax on
profits of munition makers, including
producers of pnrts of shells, is upheld
in n decision hv the I'nited States Cir
cuit Court of Appeals.
Mnnufiictuiers of shell pnrts on-
tested the tn, nsserting it could npplv
onlj to the profits from completed shells.
lhe tax was levied under the net of
September S, 1010.
Worth Brothers Company, Contes-
ville, which had been producing steel
billets for shells, sued to recover taxes
from Collector of Internal Itevenue
Lederer of this district. The suit was
heard b.v Judge .1. Whitakcr Thompson.
Judge Thompson upheld the Govern
ment tax iu his decision, and his verdict
is now nfiiimed.
The appellate decisions, three in num
ber, were written by Judge Buffington
and concurred in by Judges Woollcy and
Haight. I wo of the cases were biought
by the Carbon Steel Company and
Worth Brothers, and the thiid was en
tered by the Forged Steel Wheel Com
panj .
The government's tax on munition
profits is 1' per cent "upon the entire
profits nctuully received or acci ued from
the sale or disposition of such articles
(munitions) manufactured within the
i'nited States," and is leviecj in addi
tion to the income tax.
The three decisions sustain n govern
ment policy involving many millions of
dollars in revenue nlrend collected or
in course of collection." An opposite
decision by the court would have made
necessary legislation to make up the
resulting deficit in federal receipts.

Witness Testifies Patent Medi
cine Manufacturer Said They
Had Spent HI3 Fortune
SON ON STAND FOR 'WIDOW
The lnle James M. Munyon, patent
medicine manufacturer, declared in Au
gust, 1017, that be was "through with
vvomen,' according to the sworn state
ment mado today by Walter H. Crnmcr,
an attorney of New York city who was
one of flic "doctor's" closest friends.
5rr. Crnmcr 'was called ns n witness
today In tho suit brought in the Or
phans' Court by Miss Jane E. Kane,
for a wife's dower. Miss Kane, cen
tral figure in the legal contest against
tho Munjon estnto for a sum not less
than SSO.OOO, claims that she and the
"doctor" were man nnd wifo from
September of 1010 until his death.
"I've been married three times,"
Mr. Cramer snid tho doctor told hlra
uenrly a year after the time Miss Kane
said she became Mrs. Muriyon. "I've
hod enough of married life."
Mr. Cramer said that tho "doctor"
had told him on that occasion that his,
Munyon 's, three wives had "lost his
fortune."
Miss Kane Doctor's "Guest"
At the time the discussion of mar-
i ringo between .Mr. Cramer and the
doctor took place, the witness said
they were both nt Mingo Springs, iu
Maine, whlre tho medicine manufac
turer conducted n hotel. Miss Kane
was at the hotel as the guest of the
"doctor," Mr. Cramer said, nnd this
fact caused much discussion nmoug tho
other guests.
Mr. Cramer, whose testimony was
given in a whisper, said that he knew
the "doctor" very well and bad often
seen him at Mingo Springs.

IT EVEN COSTS MORE TO DIE
Funerals 60 Per Cent More Than
Before War It Pays to Live
A present dny funeral costs 00 per
cent more than the cost of a similar
function two years ago.
This announcement was mnde last
night after a regular meeting of the
1 hiladclphia Association of Funeral Di
rectors, which was held at the Adelphia
Hotel. George Chandler Pnul presided
nnd C. W. Naulty acted ns secretary
of the meeting.
Labor difficulties, according to Mr.
Naulty, caused nil the cemeteries tn in.
crense the cost of opening graves. There
nns neen no increase in tho prices of
funerals since the influenza enMomtn
nnd it is believed that as soon as the
business can be restored to normal con
ditions lower prices will prevail.
The inability of funeral 'directors to
obtain horse-drawn carriages fnr t.
ncrnls and the increasing cost of motor
transportation Is another factor in the
Increased cost of funeials.
