oassed today by a state-wide con

CHICAGO. May 20. Details or the
operations or the I. W. W. in the
wheat and oil fields or the middle
west states were revealed today when
government attorneys read numerous
letters from the correspondence files
of Forrest Edwards, becretary and
treasurer of the Agricultural Work
ers' organization or the I. W. W. No.
400. at the trial or 112 members or
the body before Federal Judge Lan
dis. This branch Is considered one of
the largest and most powerful anions
of the I. W.,W..by governmen invest
igators. At one time. It is said to
have an enrollment of 20,000 mem
bers, and according to the charges
made by the government. Its mem
bers put Into effect a score or more
forms of sabotage to ctiitail the pro
duction of foodstuffs and supplies.
The letters showed that large sums
were 'expended by the organization in
flooding the middle west states with
I. W. W. literature, pamphlets on
sabotage and manifestos.
One letter read in court disclosed
the fact that the I. W. W. last July
negotiated with the Farmers' Non
partisan league of North Dakota for
a wage scale agreement. The league
offered to pay faim workers $4.50 a
day but the proposition was finally
repected "because the I. W. W. de
manded $5 a day, as the minimum
wage.
In one of the official bulletins men
tion waa made that the defense of
I. W. W. In the state or Washington
had cost the organisation $23,000.
One bulletin read la part: -The
antl-I. W. W. bill In Minnesota has
passed both houses and Is now up to
the governor. We wonder If It will
work In Minnesota.' : Durst brothers,
millionaire hopgrowers of California,
have paid the pricey .They are on
the bum. -The 'cats made a remark
able change in the! economic rela
tions to the rest of society.
The methods used by the I. W. W.
In farm strikes were described In a
lefter,' written by TJtemas 0Day-or
Anet. N. D.. to Edwards, as follows:
There now are about rive wobs
In town and we bate been doing all
we can to keep scabs off the jobs.
We picket every train. Quite a few
wobs on the Job with the cat. Three
of us hired -out to Joba for $3 with
the Intention of striking for $4 the
next day. The cat then came and
stayed we truek. - Still on strike
feeding the cat rich cream.
An article in Solidarity, I. W. W.
publication, signed by Edwards, was
read In part:
"Some day our organization will be
more powerful than the state. When
that time comes, tbey win open Jail
doors and release all labor agitators.
A letter, written by W. D. Hay
wood, geneial secretary and treasurer
of the I. W. W., to Edwarda In Ang
ust, 1917, suggested that since the
American Federation of Labor had
split with' the People's Council for
Peace the I. W. W. might be able to
drive a nail In the coffin or the labor
body by getting Into the swim with
the People'! Council for Peace.

JUDGE SETTLES
TAX QUESTION
Opinion Delivered in Connec
tion With Numerous Ap
pealed Cases
WASHINGTON, May 20-In an
opinion today growing out of the col
lection of taxes under the corpora
tion excise tax act of 1909. the su
preme court held that only profits
accrued since that act became ef
fective are taxable under Its provi
sions. Just how the taxable part
Is to be separated from the previous
ly received "is a matter of some
nicety. Justice Pitney conceded In
rendering the decision.
The opinion was delivered In con
necting with a number of cases ap
pealed for the purpose of determin
ing Justice what constituted excuse
profits under the act growing out
of the sale, alter the law went Into
effect, of stock which was purchas
ed previously and also Just bow the
term "Income" afreets mining and
lumber Interests obtained prior to the
law's enactment but disposed of af
terward. Internal revenue bureau officials
believe today's decision supports the
bureau's rule permitting tax payers
In figuring Inventory and for Income
and excess profits tax returns to use
cost or market valce of goods and
securities, which ever Is lower, or
else cost alone. If Attorney General
Gregory construes the decision dif
ferently, however, all returns filed
under this system will have to be-returned
to taxpayers for revision.
