PRESIDENT PAYS $24,000 INCOME TAX UNDER BILL Framcrs Also Include Judic iary and State Officers; Supreme Court Decides W„* h , Aug - g _ p re g|,j ent \Vilson will have to pay a tax of a little more than $24,000 next year on his salary of $75,000. The ways and means committee of the House yesterday decided to ex tend the income tax tc include the President, the Justices of the Supreme court, all the Judiciary throughout the country, and State officials. Under the existing law they are exempt from the income tax. The committee fclso retained the provision in the present law taxing the incomes of senators and representatives. The Supreme Court Justices soon will be placed in the peculiar position ;>f having tu decide whether their own salaries shall be taxed. Chalr *iian Kitchin, of the ways and means c-immittee, in announcing that it to il. ly decided to Include a provision in ilit new $ 5.000,000,00 i' war revenue bill taxing the sularlrs r.f judges and state officials, said the cr.iv.mittee does not believe such ;• tax would be constitutional am that it will have t j be tested in the Supreme court. "he federal constitution, he said, provides that the M'.iaries of judges sh.ill not be increased rr diminished during their terms of office and taxa tion las been construed i., minor e-iurt decisions rs diminishing sala ries. In the else of state officials, incliidirg the state .Ir.diciiry he said, courts have held thut the Federal g.'\f'-nment has no right to tax their salaries, a such a form of taxation tends t'. disturb the dual system of i-over* ment in the United* States, placln* a weapoi; in the lio.iids of the Federal government that might be \ised to tlie disadvantage of the states. The ways and means committee also decided to-day to include the interest from state, county and municipal bonds, hereafter issued, except those issued to meet existing indebtedness, in individual and corporation incomes subject to taxation. The committee also decided to in- as part of the gross estate, the proceeds of insurants policies in ex- L .j $40,000. in levying the inheri tance ax. This was done, saifi Mr. Kitchin. to prevent pet sons from con verting their salaries into large insur ance policies and inus escaping the inheritance tax. The committee has not yet com pleted its new schedule of surtaxes on incomes, said Mr. K'tchin. In es timating the tax Piesldent Wilson v. ill liave to na;, however, the In creased surtax was included, he said. The committee Included the Presi dent, the Judges and state officials in the new incom. tax provision, he avowed, because t'l•? members of the omm'ttee do not believe that any one should be exempt from tfie income tax d .'"ing the war. Angry Crowd Threatens Admiral Von Tirpitz Xo York.—Grand Admiral \*bn Tirpitz, leader of the Fatherland par ty, and one of the most rabid of Pan '• Vmanlsts. had a narrow escape from being bandied roughly by an angry orowd at the railroad etatlon at F'reienwalde, Brandenburg, recently according to a letter published in "Vorwaerts," of Berlin, a copy of which has been received here. A pas senger train was crowded and excit ed passengers were sstruggllng to get on when one saw a compartment in which sat one man by himself, A rush was made'for the compart ment, blit the door Vas not opened. Force was about to be used when the conductor opened the compartment. The lone passenger lookout at the In truders, removed his hat to show lile bald head and stroke his beard. It was Admiral von tlrpiti. He main tained a studied silence even, when some one stepped up to him and cried out:— "Yes, that's the way the Flitherland people are. They reserve for them selves the comfortable cormpartments and don't car If the people next door are crushed to death." No reply was vouched and no pas- j senger dared take a seat In the Ad miral's compartment. Warned by Dream Gets Insured in Time Kansas City, Mo.—A (tiem may have been a good "hunch" for Dr. T. E.

PLANT BENEFITS BY HEAT RELIEF Many Workmen Repout For Duty Today; Expect to Operate Normal Soon Operation of the local steel plant will likely be normal in the next twenty-four hours If the present weather prevails, it was announced at the offices of the Bethlehem Steel Company. The intense heat of the last two days crippled operation of the plant to a great extent and yesterday many of the departments were practically idle. More men reported for work this morning and in all likelihood the re mainder of the employes will be on the job to-morrow, officials said. The men were Instructed to work under I conditions where they are not likely to be victims of th J intense heat. Two departments of the local plant remained closed this morning while others were crippled by the shortage of employes. No. 14-inch mill was cl >sed this morning when a furnace broke d >wn and the squad of employes in this department was so small that repairs could not be made. No. 20-inch mill which was closed down on Tuesday when the men were unable to report for duty oh account of the heat, remained idle to-day. There is much interest among em ployes of the local plant in regard to the outcome of the controversy be tween machinists of the Bethlehem plant and officials. The war labor board handed down a decision in favor of the machinists which is en couraging to local machinists. Of ficials of the plant here this morning said at the present time the ruling did not effect employes here and we're unable to say if it would at any time in the near future. The Iron Age in to-day's Issue in commenting on the award says: "The award of the war labor board to the machinists of the Bethlehem Steel Company, involving an eight hour day, collective bargaining anrf the revision or discontinuance of the bonus system, is the most important event of the week to the steel trade. It brings up the whole question of the use of war exigencies to union ize open shops and of the extent to which the carrying out of the plans of militant unionism is to be put be fore united effort to hasten the end ing of tne war. That grave conse quences are involved in the handling of the labor question as related to the steel industry is now more evident than eve\" Talking of other topics of interest to steei trade the Iron Age says fur ther: "In respect to steel supply and de mand, the outcome of the week has been, first, a decision by the war in dustries board averse to creating the additional reservoir of ship steel asked for by Director General Schwab; second, the gathering of data showing that the 33,000,000 tons of finished rolled steel which has been taken as the present annual capacity of the country, is consider ably too low. In one stretch (if five weeks, chiefly in May, it is shown that the rate was close to 38,000,000 tons of finished products per year. "It apears that the ship steel in process or In stock at shipyards and fabricating plants amounts to about 1,000,000 tons. While the war Indus tries board did not consent to in crease the present shipments of 50,- 000 tons a week of ship plates by 20,- 000 tons a week through the next quarter, or even by the 10,000 tons a week later asked for, its members are confident there will be no break in the shipbuilding program for lack of steel. "August humidity may bring down production, and probably will, but an increased rate would other wise result from the blowing in of additional furnaces. The active list shows a net gain of eight in July. The number in blast August 1, was 304, with an estimated dally capac ity of 112,800 tons against 356 on July 1 with a dally capacity of 111,- 130 tons." Steelworker Is Victim of Yesterday's Intense Heat Tony Culic, aged 36, employed at the local steel plant, is the first vic tim in Steelton of the intense heat wave. A large number "of persons have been overcome by the heat, but Culic is the first to be reported to die from the effects. Culic, who resides at 915 South Front street, was seised by the heat about 6 o'clock and died shortly afterward, before medical aid could be sum moned. HARRISBUR.G TELEGRAPH!
