I FIVE. MOUNT CARMEL, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1921. TURN CARMEL, ITEM. DRIVER HORSE AND WAGON OVER BANK Jefferson Daniel, an employee the Shamokin cemetery company and a candidate for overseer of the poor, had a thrilling experience about 8:30 o'clock Tuesday morning, when while trying to turn a horse and wagon around on the road that cuts through the steep hill east of the cemetery grounds were carried over the embankment with it. Mr.

Daniel was indeed fortunate. He was thrown directly in the path of the horse, which rolled over him in its Might down the side of the hill, while the wagon barely missed him. The horse came to a stop about half way down the incline, while the wagon went clear to the bottom, entring the water on the edge of the Shamokin creek. Mr. Daniel picked himself up and while uninjured except for slight bruises and cuts, suffered from nervous shock.

The horse 'escaped injury also also, while the wagon was a complete wreck. HE FOUND OUT HOW THEY "KILL The Cincinnai club recently bought two pitchers from a club in the Western Canada league. One of them has an acquaintance on the Cincinnati team and he wrote the Red er telling how he sdan would be with him and how pleased he was at the chance to show in the big league. In his letter he also wrote: "How do you fellows kill your afternoons?" The point Is that in the Western league they start games about 7:30 after the fans have quit work and had their dinners. The rookie evidently had the idea that they do the same in the latitude of Cincinnati.

A complete revision next ar of the bill now being written toy in the Senate finance committee already being planned by Senator arose and other administration ders. l'le exact extent to which the war ces will remain is not yet certain.

finance committee today is to a cide what proportion of the war on railroad freight and passengrates will be kept. Certain other taxes also are being "held in serve" by the committee to be used ty if it is found necessary in raisr the $3,200,000,000 required. The $190,000,000 reduction accomshed by the bill in its present form $250,000,000 relief to busiss, senators said. This is accomshed by repealing the excess proand capital stock taxes, and subtuting for them an increased corration income tax. The cutting of $250,000,000 taxes from busiss made necessary increases in neral taxation on the public of but $60.000,000 to keep the total venue up to the sum required.

The greatest relief to the great ISS of tax payers lies in reduction income taxes to be paid by heads families whose incomes are $5,000 less. A man with two children and income under $5,000 will pay taxon $900 less year than this ar, if the bill goes through as it stands. This means $36 in taxes about $3 a month reduction.

Automobiles will continue bear the war tax, as will movie theatre tickets, and many artic; of wearing apparel. However, the program worked out not as drastic as that proposed to ngress by Secretary of the Treasury ellon, who suggested such measures increased postal rates to make of enough revenue.

The danger of a railroad strike is being brought nearer by the refusal of the railroad executives to abide by "the few rulings" of the railway labor board that were favorable to the workers, rail union leaders charged here today. "All the railroads and particularly the Pennsylvania have been unwilling to carry out any of the rules that benefit the men," James G. Sause, Fort Wayne, representing the railroad department of the American Federation of Labor, declared today. "This is rousing the ire of the workers, who are faithfully abiding by all decisions of the labor board." Rail workers will discuss the strike issues at mass meetings to be held Sunday in Cleveland, Chicago and 18 other rail centers, Sause announced The sentiment expressed at these meetings, it was believed, will largely determine whether there shall be a strike. Although practically every railroad craft has voted overwhelmingly for the strike, the men are being urged to stay on the jobs until the word to walk out is given officially by brotherhood officials, Sause said.

Sause said the workers at the Sunday meetings would outline steps to be taken if a strike comes.

Young Cooney, the Girardville boy who is matched for a six round bout with Young Kelley, of Shenandoah, at the Williams fracas here Friday night, September 16; is one of the most popular boy's in the ring in this section.

Cooney made his appearance in the roped arena last winter and proved by his prowess that he is well able to take care of himself with any boy in his class. He has all the ear marks of a comer and started his ring career by putting the majority of his opponents to sleep. Besides packing a knockout punch the Gilberton boy uses his head during a battle and he can be counted on to give the best that is in him at all times. In Kelly he will meet a boy capable of giving him a great bout and the scrap should be well worth witnessing.
