Deci-sions of the" supreme court today upholding government contentions in three income tax cases, will, in the opinion of Solicitor General Beck and treasury officials, go tor toward unraveling many perplexing questions arising in stock divident controversies and result in the recovery by the government of many millions of dollars. Two of the cases were similar and involved taxation as income of stock issued stockholders of the Ohio oil and the Prairie oil and gas companies by the Illinois and the Prairie pipe line companies, respectively. The -pipe line companies were organized by the oil companies after a decision by the supreme court that the interstate commerce and federal trade commissions had jurisdiction over companies operating pipe lines. The government contended the stock should be classed as income and taxed as such. This contention was opposed by the companies and various stockholders including John D.

He can tfeke-his family of six or seven starving children, and move to another locality in search of work, only to find that his story has nreceded him. In case the industrial court law becomes permanent, it's principles will spread to every state in the union, and the cause of the working man and his family will be doomed." "The industrial court," Walker declared, "has increased strife in this district instead of dispelling it, and the cause for which it was started has completely failed.

He declared that Bittner could do more good in the Pittsburgh, district from whence he came than he could in district 14, and that his word would have a much greater effect on' Kansas miners if he would do his duty in the east. In explaining his reason for being here, Walker stated that he had come at the invitation of Howat, and the board members, and that he had as much right here as any international organizer on the face of the earth, famous industrial court law.

Both steam shovels, he said, were closed at the decision of the company officials, and that work ceased the result of either a lock-out or a shut-down.

If the men should have gone back to work, they should have been ordered to do so by the international, according to Walker. He emphasized the point that the present situation is due to the fact that Howat and Dorchy were imprisoned in jail for alleged violations of the industrial law, and not because of the Dean and Reliance trouble. The miners walked out because their leaders were forced to suffer, and not Ue-1 cause of a minor issue, such as the Dean and Reliance situation, he said. Hits at Newspapers.

He declared that the only way the miners could get the actual facts of the case to those who are entitled to know them is to establish an independent newspaper of their own, which cannot be controlled by money or influence. During the meetinc. a letter writ- In .1000 oolrinir! for the support of President Lewis and the international board in the fight against the court of industrial relations, was read.
