which time the "open-shop" order of
the company becomes effective. Many
unskilled workmen also will be affect
ed. The decision to take this action
followed a special convention held In

adopted strongly recommending that
the union resist the company's order.

and Tin Plate Company, which is a
subsidiary of the United States Steel
Corporation, are nonunion. The com
bined plants In which a strike order

TAFT ASKS 2 PER CENT.
President, In Special .Message, Rco
ommends Levy Upon the Net
Earnings.
WOULD INVITE AID OF STATES.
Congress Advised to Seek Constitu
tional Amendment Allowing As
sessment on Incomes.
Recommending legislation looking
to the placing of a 2 per cent tax on
the net Income of corporations and
also tho adoption of an amendment
to the constitution providing for the
Imposition of an Income tax without
an apportionment among the several
states. President Taft Wednesday sent
to Congress a message embodying his
views on the subject. This action fol
lowed a protracted special meeting of
the cabinet.
In his message the president speaks
of the apparent inability of Congress
to agree to an inheritance tax, and as
regards an income tax, he refers to
the decision of tho Supreme Court in
the case of Pollock vs. the Farmers'
Loan and Trust Company, In which
the court held the tax to be unconsti
tutional unless apportioned according
to population. "It is," Bays the presJ
dent, "undoubtedly a power which the
government ought to have. It might
be Indispensable to the nation's life in
great crises."
The amendment, therefore, he de
clares, is the only proper course. Such
an amendment to the constitution, he
contended, was preferable to the one,
proposed of reviving a law Judicially
declared to be unconstitutional. The
amendment which he proposes should
be made to the tariff bill provides for
the imposition upon all corporation
and Joint stock companies for profit,
except national banks (otherwise tax
ed), savings banks and building and
loan associations, of an excise tax of
2 per cent on the net income of tho
corporations. This, it is estimated by
him. will bring an annual revenue oi
$23,000,000. "This is a tax on privi
lege and not on property," he says,
"and Is within the federal power with
out apportionment according to popu
lation." The president points out that an
other merit to the tax on corporations
13 the federal supervision, which will
give to the government, the stockhold
ers and the public knowledge of the
real business transactions and the
gains and profits of every corporation
in the country. The adoption of the
amendment, he says, will make a Ions
sten "toward that supervisory control
of corporations which may prevent a
further abuse of power."
MINISTERS OUST FOSTER.
Expelled from Chicago Conference on
Account of Heretical Views.
Professor George Burman Foster on
Monday was expelled from the Chica
go Baptist Ministers' Conference be
cause of the alleged heretical beliefs
expressed in bis recent book on "The
Function of Religion." After a loni;
and heated debate. In which the cler
gyman indulged in bitter personalities,
the organization at its weekly meeting
decided by a vote of 40 to 10 to drop
the University of Chicago professor
from its membership. The action does
not affect Professor Foster's standing
as a Baptist minister, but simply ad
vocates disapproval of him and takes
from hin the right of fellowship in
the conference. Tho resolution finally
passed was stripped of all unnecessary
verbiage, and in such form was able
to command the support of a number
who disliked the sort of tactics pur
sued by the foes of Professor Foster.
As introduced by Rev. Johnston My
ers, leader of the anti-Foster forces,
the original resolution recited the var
ious accusations against Professor Fos
ter and declared his retention in the
association injurious to the denomina
tion. It also called upon the trustees
of the University of Chicago to dismiss
Professor Foster from the faculty of
the institution. With tho consent of
Mr. Myers the resolution was amended
and simplified until Its final form, as
passed, was as follows: "Resolved,
That tho Baptist Ministers' Conference
of Chicago drop Professor George Bur
man Foster from its membership."

out the long controversy have stood
with the priest' t he trustees at Sew

mit priests sent by the bishop to occu
py the church.
The st mm broko when Bishop Bon
acuni, accompanied by Fathers O'Brien
and Kline, came to install them, re
spectively, at Ulysses and Seward.
Father O'Brien was sent out from tho
hotel to reconnoiter. He found the
church strongly guarded and the as
pect threatening. It was then decided
to hold the formal ceremonies of tak
ing possession of the church at the
hotel, and this formality was begun.
The mob on the ijutslde of the hotel
began making a demonstration.
Threats were made to "egg" the bish
op, and at the most critical .moment
when it seemed that violence would
be done Father Murphy arrived and
pleaded with the people to commit no
breach of the peace and to acquit
themselves as law abiding citizens. He
asked the people to protect from any
violence the bishop and the priests.
Father O'Brien arranged for a vehi
cle to take them out of the village.
Almost before the crowd knew what
was being done the bishop and the two
priests were loaded into the livery rig
and a start was made for the country
on the road to David City. The con
veyance started away at a lively pace,
and it was some time before an auto
mobile carry representatives of Fath
er Murphy's flock went in pursuit.
The story told by the liveryman, who
returned soon after without his pas
sengers, was that he was overtaken on
the road and his passengers were or.
dered to get out and walk. This they
did, and then the liveryman was or
dered to turn about and drive to Uly
ses without loss of time. It was late
at night that Bishop Bonacuni and the
priests went to a farmhouse for pro
tection and engaged a farmer to takl
them to David City.
