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

Steel Company will close f":r

> 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 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.

Columbia. Special.?Col. W. A. Neal

failuie to turn over tho assets of his

the jury at 12 o'clock Saturday and at
5 the court was informed that a verdict
had been reached. When the jury
