Iloldlaa toaapanlea Affected. The extension af the corporation tax law to Individuals and co-partnerships, II waa declared, would affect holding corporations, such aa the I'nlted States Steel Corporation. The bill was draft ed by Representative Hull, of Tennes see, who lasued a statement relatlns; to holding companies In part as follows: "The present corporation tax law ex empia all holding corporations from the tax It Imposes. The proposed, ex--ae bill does not In terms Impose a tax upon any corporation, as such, but it does Impose a tax on the business of all Individuals, for instance, whose net earnings exceed J.1000, Including all net earnings received or entitled to be received aa dividends, or other com pensation within the meaning of the act out of the net earnings of any or all corporations that do not themselves pav an excise tax. "Hen'"e. every person connected w-lth a holding corporation aa a stockholder or otherwise and who received, or Is en titled to receive any portion of the an nual net earnings of such corporations In execs of $".uoo Is liable for the tax. "Of course, the proposed bill would apply to all holders of the bonds of such companies and those receiving Interest thereon In excess of $".000." Representative I'nderwood. chairman of the ways and means committee, said that In reporting the hill to the House next week, thia feature which affects holding companies would be emphasized.

March S. Plana for a tour of England, Ireland and Soot land by several hundred American boys during the Summer vacation thla year are being made by Colonel U. I. Liv ingston, the head of the Boy Scouts In the United States. It la propoaed to send the boys, accompanied by acout masters and physicians, as soon aa the schools close. The youngsters will be drawn from all parta of the country, and if a sufnclent number will make the trip, a steamship will be chartered. The plan also contemplates a trip to the I'nlted States by Hcitish boys on the same steamship. Mr. Livingston waa encouraged to attempt this under taking by tha marked success of the recent American tour of Australian boy scout Shipping Almost at Standstill Cost of Food Mountlnc Rapidly. Hope of Settlement Seems Slender at This Tlma. LONDON. March I. Although tola la only the second day of the coal strike. Its paralysing effect on other Indus tries is being felt keenly. It la com puted that by Monday liO.000 workers outside of the coal miners will be Idle. More than 1.000.800 miners In England, Scotland and Wales are out. Shipping Is approaching a stand still and steam trawlers are laying up. That aource of cheap food aoon will be cut off. Many foundries already are closed. Three or four days will suffice to cause a stoppage at most of the Sheffield steel works, and If the col lieries do not resume within a week more than 1.000.000 employes In the cotton mill and allied trades in Lan cashirc will be without work. Hope t Settlement Dim. As long as the National Miners' Fed eration adheres to the determination that a schedule of minimum wage rates, drawn up by themselves, must be con ceded before they will enter Into .fur ther negotlattona. there appears not the slightest hope of settling the strike. The ownera may ba coerced to pay a minimum wage by exhaustive enact ment, but this method cannot force the miners to accept and return to work. Their refusal even to negotiate the question has largely alienated public opinion aa expressed In the newspapers, but what la apt to prove far more effective la tha pressure that will be brought to bear upon them by the vast army of workers in other fields thrown ou of work and faced by hunger and destitution. Violence Resorted. No violence haa yet occurred and no troops have been moved, but orders were Issued at Aldtrshot today that the troops make ready to entrain If their services are needed. Many Iron works in various districts were closed today and at Swansea and elsewhere work an tha docks practically has come to a standstill. No vessels are arriving and the dockers and workmen emploved In the local Industries have been thrown out of work. Great crowds of these men gathered In the streets and discussed the dispute. Tha tlnplate works of Wales are clos ing down rapidly, owing to lack of coal. Six hundred mills and 49.000 men wil be Idle wiftiln a few days. The price of food la rising rapidly everywhere. Oil Prwpects at Bandon Good. BAN DON, Or, March 2 (Special.) The prospects for oil at the well of the Miocene on & us (.omiwn... this city, are brighter now than ever before and it Is the confident expecta tion of Mr. Smith, the driller, that ho will strike a good flow of oil In the new future. The well is now down 2350 feet and will be put down to the depth of 3000 feet If oil is not struck sooner, but it is the belief of all con cerned that the oil will be found In b!g quantities before another 100 feet Is drilled. SWIFT'S DEATH NATURAL Physicians Find No Marks or Viol ence on Body of Packer's Son. CH1CAOO, March 2. Herbert L. Swift, son of the late Guatavus S. Swift, the Chicago packer, died of natural causes, according to the three physicians who made an autopsy at the Swift family mausoleum In Mount Hope Cemeterv late today. Swift died on a railr.oad train near Milwaukee last October. A Coroner's inquest In Milwaukee gave heart trouble as the cause of death. Rumors of other possible causes and presence of a bruise and a cut on his faca were repeated until it was decided to have a post mortem examination of the body to determine the cause ot his death. Boom Company Gets Big Verdict. OLTMPIA, Wash.. March 2. The State Supreme Court yesterday affirmed the judgment for about $13,000 in favor of the Nicomen Boom & J.reoging com pany sgrainat the North Shore Boom & Driving- Company. The litigation be tween these two companies, each of which is seeking exclusive booming privileges on the North River, has been In the state and Federal courts for many years. This judgment represents a loss of prolit at 40 cents a thousand on about 33.000.000 feet of logs boomed in the stream after the courts had sus tained the rights of the Nicomen Com pany. In effect, it is a penalty under contempt of court procedure. T. R. COUNTS ON BOURNE Oregon Senator Urged to Make His Declaration Soon. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. March 2. Senator Dixon, lead er of the Roosevelt forces, had a con ference with Senator Bourne tonight in an effort to induce the Oregon Sen ator to desert La Follette and come out squarely for Roosevelt. Dixon and other Roosevelt leaders are satisfied with Bourne's recent state ment, which merely undertook to jus tify Roosevelt's change of heart and did not commit him to Roosevelt, but distinctly left him free to stick by La Follette or jump on the Roosevelt bandwagon, as future developments mav suggest to be best. Bourne thus far has studiously re frained from committing himself to Roosevelt but the Roosevelt leaders are counting upon him as a sure con vert in the near future. They now want him to declare himself at once. Candidate Guilty of Fraud. BOSTON. March 2.
