12 GREAT WAR BOND BILL SCHEDULED TO PASS TODAY! 1 Senate Votes Down Proposals to Levy Enopmons Tax on Profits By Associated Press Washington, Sept. 6.—The war bond and certificate bill was again under debate to-day in the House with a continuance of Republican at tacks on certain features of the measure. Their opposition' to the provision delegating wide authority to the Secretary of the Treasury in making loans to the allies prevented final action on the bill yesterday. Its passage without material amend ment before to-night seemed assured however. The Republicans planned to-day a final effort for the adoption of an amendment for a congressional war expenditures committee. Prospects were, however, that the House would defeat all such proposals as it did yesterday. The Senate's bitter fight over war profits taxation virtually ended late to-day with adoption of the finance committee's compromise provisions for a total levy of $1,286,000,000, or about one-third of this year's war and normal excess profits. This is an increase of $1,060,000.- 000 over present taxes. The high tax advocates failed to secure adoption of a single amendment. The vote on adoption of the finance committee's draft was 72 to ,7. The seven were Bankhead, Borah, Gronna, Johnson (Califot nia). La Foilette, Underwood and Vardaman. As now written into the bill, the war profits section strikes out the Hduse provision for an additional tax of $200,000,000 and is a substi tute for the present excess profits lav now yielding $226,000,000. The total levy of the new provision is estimat ed at $1,256.000,000. It also extends the tax to ordin ary normal peace profits in excess of 10 per cent., in addition to exces sive war profits, reached by graduat ed rates, amounting to surtaxes, ranging from 12 to 60 per cent. The excess is based upon the net Income above $5,000 of corporations, part nerships and individuals in trade or business over the average of 1911. 1912 and 1913—the prewar stand ard—with a minimum exemption of 6 per '-cn.t. of actual invested capi tal and a maximum exemption of 10 per cent. ONL Y THIRTY OF 200 PLEAS ARE GRANTED [•Continued from First Pace.] operated even if all the men drafted v ,*re ."i-cepted. However it is pos sible that some of these men will ilie exempted, but the majority will have to serve their' country in the Army. Contrary to the actions of nearly all other big concerns the Steelton i plant of the Bethlehem Steel cor poration made a statement to the' District Appeal Board signed by j Quincy Bent, general superintendent. In the statement which was made i public this morning the Steel com pany claims exemption for eleven men of the 2435 subject to draft land 423 examined. The Bethlehem Company is reported as stating that] it would gladly allow the men to go and even if they were to lose, money they would only claim exemp- | tion for the eleven men. There are twenty departments in j the Steelton plant with between 35 i and 1862 men employed. In many of these departments exemptions are claimed for one. and the greatest "umber in any department is two. This statement is made public by the district board in order that ail 'like corporations might furnish similar information so that the hoard may act intelligently on in dustrial claims. The members of the board of division two will meet this after noon at two o'clock to act upon exemptions and if possible to de termine those who will be members of the first contingent to leave from tb's district. This board was notified this morn ing that an opinion had been given during the past week by the At tornev General that all members of the State Police are executive offi cers of the Commonwealth and should be exempted. This notifica tion was signed by William H. Kel ler first deputy attorney general. The order affects only one man in division two. William G. House worth, of this city being the only member of the State Police exam ined by this board. He was ac cepted for the Army some time ago and ho will now hare to file an appeal from the action of the local board if he wants to be exempted. At Steelton to-day tw-enty-five men who had their names transferred to the Steelton board were called for examination and twenty-five l answered. Most of these men were from Georgia and are colored. The board is still examining the men who failed to show up when first called and will continue to do this until nearly all the so-called slackers have put in appearancei The board will not do any more examining unless it is absolutely necessary, and begin ning to-morrow will commence to straighten things out to make a final report to the district board. Reach Camp Without Re^-ord* Colonel Sweeney, in charge of state registration headquarters here, to day r,ave out the following state ment: "Commanding officer. Camp Lee. ha? advised the Adjutant General that men have been shipped to that camp from Pennsylvania without i'ny accompanying records as re- I nuired by mobilization regulations. The Adjutant General of the state \ is advised that local boards will not be given credit for any men sent to camp without record papers. It is important, therefore, that boards read their regulations and comply therewith. Papers that should go with the men to camp are one copy of each man's registration card, one copy of physical examination for each man and one copy of form No. 1644 showing lists of names of men actually forwarded to the mo bilization camps. "Local boards should also mail similar copies to the adjutant of mo bilization camp." Officials at the Adjutant General's office to-day de'clared that the charge made by the commanding officer at Camp Lee that men had gone from Pennsylvania without accompanying records as required by mobilization ' regulations did not apply to Pennsyl vanians. According to information here, no Pennuylvanians reached Camp Lee yesterday. Adjutant General Stewart said that nil Pennsylvaniann had been routed direct to Camp Lee and not to Pe tersburg. THURSDAY EVENING, ALL NEWS OF THE RAILROADS CAR INSPECTORS GET INCREASE Report Conies From Altoona; j Nothing Known Here Offi cially; Shopmen Ask More i Pennsylvania Railroad officials , here heard of the proposed wage ; increase to car inspectors through newspaper reports. No word has been received officially at local di , vision headquarters. It was said that I %vhen employes receive an increase in • wages it is sometimes customary to j wait until the payday when the in • i reuse is effective.

The grievances of the men were tiled after the recent strike in which the checker was transferred to another department." July Business Makes Big Increase Over Records By Associated fress Washington Sept. 6.—Prelimin ary returns for 106 of the 186 large railroads of the country made public to-day by the Interstate Commerce | Commission indicates that the July revenues will exceed those of June which established a new high rec ord. The 106 roads reported net reve nues of $63,308,195, compared with $61,299,980 in July, 1916. The increase is divided wholly among railroads of the western and southern districts. Eastern roads re port net revenues slightly under those of July, 1916, but it is believ ed that final reports from eastern roads will show an increase- Standing of the Crews HAKIUSBIKG SIDE j Philadelphia Division —The 103 crew first to go after 4 o'clock; 112, 109. ! in. 102, 124, 107. 101.

Local trainmen who represented this district at the unveiling cere monies at Galesburg, 111., on Monday afternoon have returned. Both W. H. Ptrick. who was the representa tive of Keystone Lodge. No. 42. and Milton T. Robinson, for a number of ytars a member of the legislative committee, are loud in their praises of the successful event. The monument erected to the late Patrick H. Morrisscy in St. Joseph's Cemetery at Galesburg was not placed in position until Monday. The bronze tablet which is a part of the monument will be placed in position this week. The inscription on it is: PATRICK HENRY MORRISSEY Who as a member and an officer materially assisted in improving the economic conditions of the employes of the railway service in the United States and Canada. He was among the pioneers of the Railway Labor organizations and as such contributed his full measure toward the betterment of his fellow men. The sterling qualities that distinguished him among men and the sincere gratitude for his endeavors in behalf of the Order he loved will perpetuate his memory in the B. of R. T. In his unveiling address W. Grant Edens, of Chicago, gave the follow ing interesting sketch of the life of the late Patrick H. Morrissey: A memorable Life Mr. Morrissey was born September 11. 1862, in Bloomington. His ca reer is a remarkable demonstration of ability and pluck. From a call boy in railroad shops to the associate of president is- a far cry, but Mr. Morrissey bridged the gap. He entered the employ of the Al ton and Bloomington while yfct a schoolboy and during his vacations acted at a callboy in the Alton shops. He pursued his studies to their con clusion and graduated from the Bloomington high school in 1878. He then entered the employ of the Al ton as a Drukeman and by serious and painstaking application to his work spon won a promotion of freight conductor. In 1885 he came to Galesburg as an employe in the offices of the Brotherhood of Rail road Trainmen and has since made his home here. In the Trainmen's convention of 1888, at Burlington, Mr. Morrissey attracted considerable attention from the members of the order by his activities and at the next year's meeting in St. Paul he was named First Vice Grand Master. Made Grand Master In 1895, in recognition of his ser vices and ability, he was made Grand Master, a position which he occupied with credit and distinction for many years, until December 31, 1908 when he resigned. During his incumbency the order made rapid strides and advancement. Many ser ious controversies between the men and the railroads threatened during Mr. Morrissey's term of office, and largely through his good offices were many victories for the order gained. During his term of office he became the intimate and associate of Presi dent Rossevelt, who depended upon him largely in matters of import af fecting capital and labor. Mr. Roose velt made public recognition of his services in an address before rail way employes at Freeport in 1910. Among Mr. Morrissey's most cherish ed possessions were letters from Mr. Roosevelt expressing his gratitude. On Executive Committee During his term of office he was a member of the executive committee of the National Civic Federation, and served this great organization well. On this committee he was as sociated with John Mitchell, Presi dent of the United Mine Workers of the World. In 1908 Mr. Morris scy became connected with the American Employes and Investors Association and served for five yesra as President, becoming assistant to Vice-President W. E. Bryam of the Burlington railroad, a position he held until the time of his death. During his services as President of the Investors Association, Mr. Mor rissey acted for the railway employes on several boards of arbitration. He was a member of the Strauss Board which settled the big eastern contro versy and acted on other boards. Mr. Morrissey's varied activities were well summed up in a letter re ceived by Mrs. Morrissey from a friend who said, "You have the com fort of knowing he has shared Il lustriously in the big affairs of the Railroads Show Profits; New Records During June Washington Sept. 6.—Complete re- turns for June of the operations of all railroads of the country having an annual income of more than $1,000,000 show earnings greater than had been forecast and place June far ahead as the railroads' ban ner month. Revenues totaled J349,739,636, as compared with 1300,019,080 a year ago, and expenses aggregated 12 35,- HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH world, and always with great credit to himself and his cause." President Leo Talks representatives were given a warm welcome by President \\ illiam G. Lee, now head of the trainmen. Mr. Lee, who recently underwent several operations and was in poor health, was improved and will shortly resume his activity. In his address President Lee told how Mr. Morrisse.v wits elected vice president of the organization in 1889 and atthe convention in Galesburg in 1895 was elected graifd master. At this convention Mr. Lee 'was elected first vice 3 president to Mr. Morrissey. Mr. Lee stated that after leaving the convention both he and Mr. Morrissey expressed the opinion that probably they were foolish to i;ive up railroad jobs to assume charge of an organization which was practically defunct. "However," said Mr. Lee, "it was only through the business dealings of Mr. Morrissey tliat the organization grew to one of the strongest in this country. Also it was through his guidance and teachings that I wa< a Die to adapt myself to carry on the work which lit so nobly started;" Mr. Lee rep resented 152.000 railrorfd men who are at present members of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen. How Project Started He told also that the movement to erect a monuruept In Mr. Mor- Hr j W. GRANT EDENS rissey's memory was first started by the Providence (R. I.) Lodge. No. 66. Practically every one of the 900 Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen lodges in the United States and Can ;ida have responded to the request for donations and the monument now •stands, not as the gift of one man, but rather as the general contri bution from the thousands who learned to love him because of his interest in them. James Murdock, of Toronto, Can ada, spoke for the Canadian mem bers of the Brotherhood <jf Railroad Trainmen. He stated that'at every terminal in the Dominion were the employes saddened to learn of his death. He made the statement that not an old railroad employe in the entire Dominion but that •was Mr. Morrissey's fiiend. Railroaders from all over,. the United States attended the cere monies. Many sent their regrets, in cluding E. P. Bracken, general man nger of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad, and M. L. Daugh crty, Los Angeles, Cal.

Op erating income, after deducting taxes and uncollectable bills, totaled $97,- 516,514, as compared with $90,009,681 in June. 1916. For the six months ending with June the railroads had total revenues of $1,898,210,536, an increase of more than $200,000,000 over the first half of 1916. Expenses, however, increased approximately $6,000,000 more than revenues, leaving net reve nue of $543,914,600 as compared with $549,957,460 in the first half of 1916, the poor showing being due to three months of car shortage and congestion during the winter.
