m MANY WALK OUT. o 50,5CO Slcel Workers Leave Their Employers. MANY COMPANIES ARE AFFECTED The Fight Will Be a Desperate One , Uuless the Parties Are Crousht to An Agreement. Pittsburg. Special.?President T. J. Shaffer, of the Amalgimated Association of Iron. Steel and Tin Workers, Monday issued an order calling out all union employes of the various milis of the American Steal Hoop Company, known as the hoop trust. It is estimated that 15.000 men will be subject to the call, which, in connection with the big strike of the American Sheet Steel Company ordered by President Shaffer on Saturday, will aff-:e: 50.000 men. Pre-ident Shaffer said: 'The Impression that only the mills of the American Sheet Steel Company are affected by the decision of Saturday is a mistake. The workmen of ail mills in the American Steel Hoop Company are interested and will bo officially notified that the scale has not been signed and that they will quit work. To the well organize i mills this notice will be necessary as tho men w.ll have watched the situation carefully, but what is known as open mills, where uniou men have been allowed to work side by side with the non-union, is where we have to move. Union men nnist walk out o:' these open mills in the hoop trust. "The open mills to bo untitled are one in Hollidaysburg, Pa., thiee at Pittsburg and one at iMonosscn. The organization mills which will cl. se -on our call are the upper and lower mills at Youngxtown. Ohio: Pomeroy, Ohio; Sharon. Pa.: Girard. Pa.; Warren. Pa. This. I believe, w.ll bring the number of men affected up to 5).000. "It is a matter of regret that the issue has been forced, but it now looks as though it would be a fight to .the death. The Amalgamated As.ociatlou is not unprepared for it. We have not had a general strike fir many years and in that time we have not been idle. We have funds and will use them. Right here I want to car ? - ---rect an Impression wh'ch has been , given out that no benefits will be pad strikers until two months have elapsed. The Amalgamated Association will begin at once to take care of it3 people." Mr. Shaffer concluded by saying: "I will say now what I said to Mr. Smith, general manager of the Sh"et Steel Company, in the conference: I said i? it is to b? a strike we will make k one to be remembered. The officials now dealing with us have but little idra of the extreme to which this itrike will go once it is on." Youngstown. 0., Special?In order to take inventory the mills is Youngstown is on the Mahoning valley of the Republic Iron and Steel Company will close f":r two weeks. The 4 mills hy > and at other points in the Mahoning and Shpnan?n vail -vs which are CW:l ed by the American Steel Hoop Comr pany will remain idle pending a se tlement cf the scale question. An official said: "The company was willing to sign the scale agreed upon by the Republic Iron and Steel Com. pany and for the same mills for - which tbey signed last year, but the" Amalgamated men insisted that they must also sign for certain Pittsburg mills and others which the- company owns in th<? East and this the company declined to do, and thus the ma*, ter stands." A Col'lsion at Sea. Boston. Special.?The six-masted ?teamer George W. Wells, of Taunton.

" . -i >' \ A CASE BEFORE I HE COURT To Decide Government's to Tax State Dispensary. The State of South Carolina, acting througth the Governor and the Attorney General liar, initiated proceedings before the Commissioner cf Internal Revenue to test the question w hether the State ran legally he required to take out special tax stamps as wholesale and retail liquor dealers under their State dispensary laws, and has made a deraanr^ upon the Commissioner for a refund of all such faxes hitherto paid, amounting to $4.916. While this sum is not large, it is realized that the principle at issue is of great and farreaching importance. The one question involved is whether the internal revenue laws of the United States apply to the dispen sary system of South Carolina so as to entitle the collector to demand the I payment of these taxes. The entire dispensary system of South Carolina is managed by a board | of commissioners, consisting of three | persons selected by the State Legis- I lature with Columbia as its headquar- I tors. This State dispensary distribu- ! tes the supplies to the county dispensaries and these in turn are managed by county dispensers or agents, all being under the board of State com missioners. Under the law no liquor can be sold at night or to he drank on the premises of the dispensary. The liquors sold are the property of I the State and the profits accrue fixed i by law and do not depend upon the i amount of their sales. In the brief filed with the Cominis! sionT of Internal Revenue on behalf i of the State it is contended that there | is nothing in the laws of the United i States authorizing the collection of internal revenue taxes which, even im- I | plied, authorized the imposition of a . I tax against a State or its instrumen- ' I talities of government and that such j [ an act containing any provision ia.v i ! ing the instrumentalities of the Stat" I government would be to that extent ; | unconstitutional. It is contended fur- I i ther that the property of a State and J the means and instrumentalities employed by it to carry its laws into operation cannot be taxed by the Federal government and an opinion of the lato i Judge Cooley on this question is quoted. If any internal revenue law of the Fnited States require the agents of the State and county dispensaries of South Carolina eaeh to pay a tax to the Fnited States before being permitted to exercise the duties of their office, it is contended that the law is unconstitutional and void, in this particular because the tax which it imposes is purely and simply a tax upon the instrumentalities by which tho State, through its laws.seeks to minimize the evils of the liquor traffic with- ; in its borders. The Federal government. it is held, cannot constitutionally interfere with the administration of those laws by requiring a special tax stamp to be paid by its officials an a condition precedent to the exercise of their duties. Commissioner Yorkers has the claim for refund of taxes by the State of So;^th Carolina under consideration, but has rendered no opinion yet. While it is true that this dispensary system may be designated a State agency, an 1 I i.riVmlH no <-nnstitil IIS Il'clill iL'iianv vj u|iiiviu mm tioual under the police power resident in all sovereignties, yet the Commissioner is inclined to the ojinion that it is not such a necessary State r.gencv, or such a needful function of the State government as will exempt it from Federal taxation. There are certain agencies absolutely essential to the ilfe cf a State, such as the maintenance of courts, executive officials. collection of taxes for the payment of necessary State expenses and it may be admitted that the national, government can at no time and in no way, directly or indirectly, levy a tax upon these necessary State agencies: otherwise the national government might tax them out of existence. But the government contends when the State performs a work and assumes direction in its individual capacity a new aspect arises. If it is unconstitutional to require the local agents employed under the dispensary system of South Carolina to pay the government the suras required for retail and wholesale liquor dealers' stamps then this same State and all other States, the Commissioner points out. could take control not only of the sale, but of the manufacture of whiskey, hoe. and tobacco, and if so then the question would arise, could the government levy any tax upon the products of plants under and operated by the State and used for these purposes? If so. while the State might thereby be able to pay all of their governmental expenses, the general government it is said, would lose an internal re venue income of some $200,000,000 per year. it is understood that if the Commis sioner's decision is against the State as seems probable, the ease evenxuauy wi'.l go to the Supreme Court of thr United States. Col. Neal Indicted. Columbia. Special.?Col. W. A. Neal has been found guilty 01 the charge of failuie to turn over tho assets of his office to his successor at the prop>v time. The verdict is said to have beeu rendered in accordance with the lav as given to the jury in the charge o* Judge Gary. The case was given to the jury at 12 o'clock Saturday and at 5 the court was informed that a verdict had been reached. When the jury had been brought into court, a slip of paper was handed to the clerk by the foreman. The slip contained the verdict which read: "The State agains: W. A. Neal.
