HUGEWARTAXBILL
APPROVED By HOUSE
Measure to Raise Six Billion
Dollars This Year.
-LEVY DEEMED TOO SMALL
Members of Congress Foresee STeces
feity or Obtaining More Money
to Carry on Government.
WASHINGTON, Feb. S. The House
tonight concluded its work on the
record-breaking war revenue bill by
adopting-, 310 to 11, after six hours'
discussion, the conferees' agreement on
the measure. It now goes to the Sen
ate for final approval, which ia ex
pected early next week.
The conference report, which pro
poses to raise $6,000,000,000 in taxes
this year and more than 14,000,000,000
annually until repealed, will be taken
up by the Senate Immediately after the
disposal of the woman suffrage amend
ment Monday, or. If delayed, on Tues
day. Its adoption by the Senate and
approval by President Wilson are- re-,
garded as assured.
Levies Deemed Too Low.
During the debate in the House to
day Democratic and Republican lead
ers joined in declaring that the bill's
tax levies were too low, both for this
year and 1920, and predicted that higher
taxes must be provided by the next
Congress.
Opposition to the report was not
based, however, on its tax imposts,
hut to minor amendments, particularly
'lie child labor legislation. On the final
.-ollcall seven Democrats Blackburn,
Alabama; Dies and Rayburn. Texas, and
Humphreys, Sisson, Stephens and Ven
able, Mississippi voted with four Re
publican!: Dyer, Missouri; Langley and
Powers, Kentucky, and Sells, Tennes
see against the conference draft. A
motion by Representative Venable to
recommit the bill and strike out the
child labor section was defeated, 171
to 15.
Besides the child labor provision.
House members criticised as a
"pittance," the S60 pay bonus provided
for persons discharged from military
tervice.
Representative Kitchin, Democratic
leader, made the principal address,
commending the bill as a whole, but
declaring it shou-ld have imposed high
er taxes and that it would not meet
future requirements. He expressed the
belief that expenditures this year
would total $20,000,000,000 and $10.
000,000,000 in 1920, and that by the end
of the nest fiscal year the bonds out
standing would aggregate $30,000,000,
000. He explained, however, that to en
act the bill and take $1,700,000,000
more than under existing law from
"pro iteers" charged with conducting
propaganda against its passage, the
House conferees were compelled to
Kive and take.
Luxuries Tax Fight Predicted.
He also declared that before the 10
per cent semi-luxury taxes become ef
fective April 1 next, legislation for
their repeal or modification would be
forthcoming. Representative Fordney.
f Michigan, and Moore, of Pennsyl
vania. Republican conferees, also de
clared that the bill's taxes would be
insufficient, while Representative Rai-
ney. of Illinois, a Democratic conferee,
sisserted that there must be immediate
revision of the tariff.
All of the conferees criticised varl
oua features of the bill, and Mr. Moore
referred to it as a "forbidding meas
ure" and a "chamber of financial hor
lore."
Representative Rainey agreed with
Mr. Kitchin that next year's expendi
tures would be $10,000,000,000, and ad
vocated a budget committee to bring
;ibout economy. Heavy Federal estate
taxes also were urged by Mr. Rainey
who declared there now are 30,000
American millionaires, 22,000 of whom
were created by the war.
kits. Many strikers, first to feel the'
discomfort, were left hungry on
Thursday. A third factor assigned
was the presence of regular Army
troops. A final cause, said city of-!
ficials, was the evident lack of public
sympathy with the strikers' cause.
Citizens walked good naturedly
when the cars stopped, or rode with
owners of automobiles. Larders were
stocked. Grocery stores continued
open, some even delivering. There i
were enough restaurants running that
none needed to starve. Department
and retail stores remained open. The
great public missed chiefly only four
things cars, theaters, newspapers and
traffic police. Hotels ran smoothly,
except that guests in some made their
own beds and paper towels replaced
linen-
Contributing causes to the inef
fectiveness of the general strike were
given as including failure of several
international unions to sanction strikes
of local branches. Electrical workers
went back to work today as one in
stance of thi3. Typographical members,
pressmen and printers remained at
work.
Stereotypers, longshoremen and
streetcar men violated orders of their
international bodies and struck. En
gineers and janitors employed in the
city's 79 schools this afternoon voted
to resume work Monday. . when the
board stated that men not appearing
then would forfeit their positions. Fif
teen schools were open Friday.
Events in the strike situation fol
lowed rapidly today. At 8 o'clock this
morning the Mayor's ultimatum that
the sympathetic strike must be called
off or he would proceed to operate all
essential Industries with the aid of
troops, if necessary, took effect. Mayor
Hanson at once put into operation city
"jitneys" and said unless private street
car companies operated he would run
city-owned cars over the private lines
without asking consent. He also or
dered removed all "exemption" igns
placed by the strikers' committee on
wagons or store windows. "Business
will be as usual with or without con
sent of labor unions," he said.
Operation of cars on the Puget.Sound
Traction. Light & Power Company and
Seattle, Renton and Southern Lines fol
lowed. One afternoon newspaper and
paper used for posting on boards ap
peared under police protection. First
editions were given away. But soon
the union labor organ "The Union Rec
ord" appeared and newsboys sold it
as well as a later edition of another
afternoon paper without interference.
Crowds jammed about every paper
seller, for, with the- exception of the
tour-page paper issued by the Post
Intelligencer this morning, these were
the first complete local papers Seattle
had had since Thursday morning.
Papers from outside the city brought
in by foresighted boys and men sold
instantly at 10 cents a cony in manv
cases. I

theaters announced tonight they would

Action of members of the Boiler
makers' Union at Oakland yesterday
n going on strike, coupled with the
fact Seattle strikers have solicited sup-
ort on the part of unions at Portland
and Los Angeles, ia not to change the
general complexion of the local situa
tion, say those familiar with the view
point of a . majority of the men. Ar
rangements are being made, however,
for the Boilermakers' Union to hold a
mass meeting a week from today to
discuss the Seattle strike.
Some of . the members are said to
have favored the meeting being held
oaay. nut lacK or time in which .o get
word to all concerned and the fact it
was not certain a hall of sufficient
size was available resulted in the post
ponement for one week. Meanwhile,
according to reports, no official infor
mation is being received from Seattle
boilermakers as to their ideas of the
progress of the strike.
The Boilermakers' Union at Portland
represents a strength of about 5300
men. There were about 6000 men until
the recent fori .ation of a union at Van
couver, because of the number of men
employed in the Standifer steel plant.
wmcn today has a strength of about
1000. In addition it is estimated that
fully 1700 of the men In the Portland
and Vancouver district are either in
the Army and Navy or have been dur
ing the war period.
Unless the Seattle strike is produc
tive of developments not anticipated
now it is believed the boilermakers here
win remain unperturbed. However,
well informed union men point out,
should martial law be declared at Se
attle, there might be a sudden precipi
tation of a sympathetic movement" in
this territory.
orklng conditions in Portland un
der the Macy agreement are different
than either on Puget Sound or at San
Francisco, and the apparent determin
ation is to adhere to the scale until the
expiration of the existing schedule,
which will be March 31. The annual
convention of the Pacific Coast Dis
trict Trades Council, fixed for a week
from tomorrow. Is expected to be
featured by the adoption of the draft
of a proposed new scale, the wish of
the men being to have it adopted by
me ompDuuaing JuaDor Adjustment
Board and made affective April 1.
resterday was marked bv renewed
campaigning among the I. W. W. fra
ternity, evidently taking advantage of
tne eaturaay nan noiiaay. Among men
who hold responsible offices in unions
affiliated with the American Federa
tion of Labor it is felt that so far the
I. W. W. family has not attained either
strength or recognition amoni the men
actually working for the necessities of
lite to be regarded alarming.
ret, in watching the headway of tha
wobblies" in certain channels, the men
whoare holding for thecommunity inter
ests as well as for those of labor are
working out their own plans to prevent
tne i. w. w. element from either a-ain
ing destructive strength in the unions
or being able to lead any considerable
number or their own following into
erratic acuou.
As to the sympathetic strike, . there
are many in the ranks of labor who
assert its application in the past have
proven fruitless and under ordinary
progress of the Seattle conditions there
is small probability of it being joined
in here.
Men are drifting this way from Se
attle, some continuing on to California.
and a few have been heard to express
themselves as not favorable to the
move that tied up the northern city.
Opportunities for those men to obtain
employment here grow slimmer dally,
so they are continuing southward for
the most part. '
Virtually all unions, -particularly
those among shipyard workers, are
alive to the trend of affairs at Seattle
and watch reports daily, but, having
determined Before to go on with the
present scale, though' protesting it,
there is no outward evidence of a de
sire to envelop Portland in the strike
