Then came the-vote. -There were
a few explanations and -Representative

to vote, colored wlicn Kepresenta
tive HofTmeister demanded that he
be forced to cast his vote. But thi
bill had carried and no one else in
sisted. The final passage of the bill ends
the hardest tight of the session.
Lobbyists -by the scores. represent
ing corporations from. Omaha to the
Colorado line and from the Kansas
line to the .Dakota lint, have' flooded
members with telegram and per
sonal solicitations urging ' the death'
of the bill or the removal of its
teeth.
The original bill called for a
4-mill levy on intangibles and the
combining of the office of Phil
Bross, secretary di finance. and rev
enue, with the state tax . commis
sioner. - That bill -passed-the senate.
Lobbyists Active.
The lobbyists centered their fight
in the house. Night after night- cor
poration attorneys and lobbyists bore
down on the house committee on
revenue and taxation. Finally, that
committee weakened to the extent
that it cut out the proposed tax on
intangibles and average capital, but
left the tax levying centralization
feature in the bill.
When the bill was considered in
the lower house, an amendment was
adopted putting a tax on intangibles
three-fifths of the amoUnt of the tax
on intangibles. The democrats took
up the cudgel with the corporation
lobbyists in endeavoring to kill the

more than one or two firms arc run

whether' they will continue long,
owing to the coal situation. The
remainder are running part time or
else arc closed down. The number
of plants ceasing operations is in
creasing daily," said Albert Law,
secretary of the Sheffield Chamber
of Commerce, to a correspondent
for the Chicago Tribune today.
"The city was enduring the big
gest slump in its history' prior to
the coal strike," he continued, "and
now conditions are worse. The
latest figures show that 35,000 men,
6,000 women, 2.000 boys and 1,500
girls are out of work or are em
ployed only a part of the time. - The
unemployed have increased 13,000
since the coal strike. Firms which
a few months ago had two years of
orders on their books are now con
fronted with total or partial can
cellation, largely foreign, running
into millions ot pounds.
A part of Mr. Law's doleful story
is repeated by everyone to whom I
talked. The coal strike simply over
flows the cup of industrial depres
sion.' The prospect is that recovery
will not be immediate, even if the
strike is. settled. Prior to the coal
