BRITISH SPEED NEW‘AX AND TAX’PROGRAM MacDonald Moves Rapidly to Put Drastic Budget Plan in Effect. HECKLED BY LABORITES Premier Defends Course Adopted to'Avert Ruin for England. BY KEITH JONES United Pres* Staff Correspondent LONDON, Sept. 11. Premier J. Ramsay MacDonald moved swifty today to make immediately effective the severe taxation and economy program by which the three-party government hopes to save the country from its financial difficulties. Moving the second reading of the national economy bill in the house of commons, MacDonald explained that it empowered the government to issue orders-in-council (enactment of laws without parliamentary sanction) which would be effective for only one month and could be Issued only within a month of enactment of the present bill. The orders-in-council, which have something of the semi-dicta-torial efrect of the “government by decree” in Germany, would have the same effect as acts of parliament, he said, and could be altered only by act of parliament. Labor Booes Speaker Anybody who ever had been a member of the government, he said, would agree with the efficiency of the procedure, adding, “I am speaking for labor.” The labor opposition laughed and interrupted MacDonald, turning to them, said: “They can take the label from my back, but they can not take the label from my mind.” Supporters of the government cheered. MacDonald, with his chin thrust forward, retorted crisply to numerous interruptions by the laborites, while reviewing the recent labor government's discussion of the crisis and Thursday’s budget before its resignation. He contended that the funds for relief of the unemployed could be reduced either by a direct cut or by imposing “a 10 to 20 per cent revenue tariff on imports and making the cut indirectly." The laborites cheered And MacDonald proceeded: “Or you can do it this way—the most disastrous of all ways—allow the value of your currency to go down without care or control, without rhyme or reason, because of super-excited public opinion. Prefers Other Course “My colleagues and I prefer to take the straightforward way and take so much per cent off upon the basis of the decrease in the cost of living and the increase in the value of money.” Retorting to Laborite interjections, MacDonald said, “I have known you of old.” “You would not be there but for us,” a Labor member shouted. “I have great knowledge of you which comes from very intimate friendship,” MacDonald replied, “and insofar as I am concerned, the friendship never will be diminished. . . . When we were in office the last time in 1924 and the election came, every platform rang with Labor candidates asking the working classes to vote for-a Labor government because of what it had done for unemployment.” The “ax and tax” nightmare became reality Thursday when Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Snowden announced his budget proposals which, with rigid economies in government operation, will overcome a budget deficit of $833,490,000. Every Class to Be Hit The salaried worker will give the government 25 per cent (five shillings in the pound) income tax; laborers will pay one penny (two cents) more a pint for their beer; the rich will pay a super tax of 10 per cent and higher on unearned incomes; automobile owners will pay an additional 4 cents a gallon (total 16 cents) on gasoline; tobacco manufacturers will pay higher taxes on leaf tobacco, although the Imperial Tobacco Company announced that retail prices would not be advanced. All who attend theaters and cinemas will pay an entertainment tax of 16 2-3 per cent. While taxes are increased, unemployed workers will find their benefit (dole) decreased 10 per cent; policemen will take wage cuts starting with five shillings a week for patrolmen; all civil servants wages will be cut. beginning with a 20 per cent reduction for the prime minister and cabinet members; defense service, road funds, and pensions will be slashed. Expects to Get Surplus Snowden expected to collect approximately $200,000,000 in new taxes this year and $400,000,000 next year. With economies in government operation, the additional taxation will wipe out a huge deficit and create a surplus. The labor opposition was voiced |)y John R. Clynea, member of the ,'ecent government, who moved to reject the bill. He presented an amendment, which, while recognizing the necessity of preserving the nation'* finances, declared against accepting "proposals which deprive the masses of the people of the necessities of life whilst others remain in enjoyment of luxuries.” "This fa more than an economy bill,” Clynea said. "It is a bill to suppress the opposition; silence the minority and make a mere mockery pf parliamentary government,”

Drill Him, Doc! By United Press CHICAGO, Sept. 11.—If the polite young man who needs two teeth filled and one crowned will sit in Dr. Albert Friedman’s dental chair, the dentist will be glad to work on his teeth, with a vengeance. The man had Dr. Friedman examine his teeth. Then he produced a revolver, explaining, “I’m out of work and I’ll have to have your money.” Just then the telephone rang. The bandit allowed the dentist to converse with a patient, then took $25 from him and left.

Jim Says He’ll Fight to Finish Against Plans for Increases. By United Press WASHINGTON, Sept.. 11.—The administration position on tax revision became involved in complications today when Senator James E. Watson, Republican floor leader, emerged from the White House and announced he would oppose any tampering with taxation. Watson said he was opposed to the tax plans of Senator Reed (Rep., Pa.), and Representative Bacharach (Rep., N. J.), as well as to all other proposals to increase government revenue at the coming session oi congress. “I think Uncle Andy can take care of the treasury situation,” he said, referring to Treasury Secretary Mellon; Would Disturb Business "I believe that any effort to revise taxes at this time would disturb business greatly. It would le’ad to uncertainty all around,” Watson said. “With proposals for a dole, greater government expenditures, more money for the farmers, and a lot of radical ideas, there is no telling where we would wind up if we started out on a revenue revision movement.” Watson said there was scant hope of effecting any material economies such as suggested by Chairman Will Wood (Rep., Ind.) of the house appropriations committee. Wood wanted to reduce army and navy and other expenses. “Every session we hear a lot about such economies,” Watson said, “but nothing ever comes of them. It Is my opinion that nothing will come of them now.” Has Confidence in Andy With taxes remainin'; stationary and no economies in prospect and the treasury being depleted, Watson was asked whether he thought government funds would be sufficient. “I have confidence in Uncle Andy,” he said. “I believe we can ride along now and when prosperous times are returned we can then discuss new methods of taxation. Surely it will do no harm to wait for a few years.” Watson called at the White House shortly after breakfast and remained with the President until the cabinet meeting started at 10:30 a. m. He was accompanied by Senator Hatfield (Rep., W. Va.). They discussed with the President the filling of three impending vacancies on the tariff commission. Watson indicated appointments were imminent. . RELIEF GROUP TO MEET Hoosier Jobless Chief Calls Session For Friday. By United Press WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.—Owen D.

ROAD WORKERS MAY SUE FOR UNPAID WAGES Drivers, Laborers on State Project in Dire Need of Pay. FEAR THEY'LL BE FIRED Eke Out Bare Existence as Attorney Is Engaged for Court Fight. BY DICK MILLER Times Staff Corresoondent GREENCASTLE, Ind., Sept. 11 Unpaid workmen on State Roads 36 and 43 today prepared to carry their fight for wages to Putnam and Parke county courts. Thirty truck drivers and laborers whose pay, when they have received wages, has not been more than $1.75 a day since April, announced they had retained M. J. Murphy, local attorney, to open the court fight for them. Murphy declined to outline his plan of legal action but it is expected the suits may tie up completion of the state highways. Contractor Is Blamed Several conferences op the situation have been arranged, Murphy said. Workmen have felt they must block completion of the roads or they would be released without pay. However, Murphy said demands would be made on the contractors and bonding companies before the suits were filed. Workmen here and others on Road 36 near Rockville have been living in tents, barns and shacks for several weeks. Due to a financial tieup between contractors and subcontractors, the laborers w r ere affected when Clyde Johnson of an Indianapolis trucking company said his finances had collapsed. Those employed by him could not collect wages and other money was held back. The complicated state of affairs caused all workers and contractors to be affected by Johnson’s alleged crash. Evicted from Rooms Many of the men are near starvation, only being kept alive through the charity of Andrew Alexander Sr., and his son, Andrew Jr. Others who have been able to collect a few dollars in wages are paying the Alexanders $1 daily for board and room. All workers have been evicted from rooming houses and many have sold their personal effects to be able to leave. Reports at the roads today were that several of the men may be discharged xur informing The Times of the conditions under which they have been forced to live. Majority of them said if there was an opportunity to get their pay through discharge they would be “glad to be fired.” FAIR STUNTMS OFF Board Forced to Cancel Locomotives Crash.

Hundreds were reported injured and the city in desperate need of food and medical aid. Few buildings were left standing, it was said. Americans were reported among the casualties. The other hurricane struck Porto Rico, 1,500 miles eastward, across the Caribbean.

Belize Suffers Enormous Loss; Porto Rico Toll Is Terrific

By United Press MIAMI, Fla., Sept. 11.—Two storms of hurricane force struck in the Caribbean Thursday, causing wide damage and probably heavy loss of life, reports to Pan-American Airways here indicated today. One of the storms lashed Belize, British Honduras, shortly after 3 p. m., destroying a greater part of the city and taking a toll of life unofficially estimated at 200, the reports said. The storm passed inland over Yucatan, it was said. Another storm which struck San -Juan at 9 o’clock Thursday night, passed westward over the Mona passage, between Santo Domingo and San Juan, heading toward Haiti, Pan-American reports said. A Pan-American Airways ( plane left here early today for Belize, under instructions to survey the situation there and report back via radio, the gravity of the situation, with advices on what appeared imperative in the way of medical supplies and relief. Pilot Can Not Land The pilot reported by radio at 12:30 p. m. today that a landing was impossible, because of mountainous seas. Pilot E. S. Rodenbaugh advised his headquarters he would be forced to drop his medicinal supplies and cargo of mail at Belize without stopping and proceed to Tela, Honduras. The storm at San Juan, according to Pan-American reports here, reached a wind velocity of eightysix miles an hour, with the barometer dropping to 29.33.

By United Press SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Sept. 11. —A tropical hurricane, blowing 100 miles an hour, struck Porto Rico Thursday night, causing heavy damage. The hurricane struck San Juan with full force, putting lighting, telegraph, telephone and trolley lines out of commission, lifting roofs from houses and strewing the streets with debris and branches of trees. The storm center, with the usual accompanying lull, passed over at 10 p. m. The disturbance lasted about two hours. Communication Crippled Communication with other parte of the island was disrupted and an estimate of the damage, especially to the fruit crop in the northeast of the island, could not be obtained. An old iron hulk in the lagoon here was driven by the wind against the Esteves bridge. A watchman of the Pyramid Oil Company here was reported killed by a falling roof and a woman electrocuted by a fallen wire at Rio Piedras. The course of the storm was west-northwest and the disturbance had a diameter of 30 to 35 miles. It, was reported this afternoon north of Santo Domingo. Fragmentary reports over the island’s crippled communication system indicated the damage was chiefly in San Juan and that the hurricane was confined to the northeast section of the island. Roosevelt Home Damaged The rain was not especially heavy, but it was driven by the wind into homes and public buildings. Governor Theodore Roosevelt’s residence suffered and part of the Roosevelt collection of paintings and tapestries was watersoaked. The Governor, who left on the steamer Coamo Thursday, en route to the American Legion convention in Detroit, received reports on the storm by wireless. Haiti in Line of Storms By United Press WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.—The hurricane which swept Porto Rico Thursday night with undetermined damage was reported by the weather bureau today to be approaching Haiti and the Dominican republic with undiminished violence. Dispatches received here said one person was killed and several were injured in San Juan Thursday night. Extent of damage in the interior of Porto Rico was unknown. Meantime, unofficial reports to the Tropical Radio Company said the city of Belize, British Honduras, had been destroyed by a hurricane Thursday night. The reports said 150 persons had been killed. The Belize hurricane was a disturbance far removed from that which hit Porto Rico. The weather bureau believes the former hurricane has about spent its force. It was centered today in the extreme southern part of the Gulf of Mexico. Warnings were sent by the bureau to Belize Thursday night that the city was in danger, but communications were interrupted. The bureau has charted the progress of the Belize disturbance for several days and added to the current hurricanes that one which reached San Juan shortly before midnight. The San Juan disturbance was about half-way between Porto Rico and Haiti today. Estimates of the violence of the hurricane varied from 70 tp 100 miles an hour. Wind velocity of the storm which struck Belize was fifty miles an hour when last reported to the weather bureau. United States Consul Taggart was injured slightly.

FAINT HOPE IS LEFT FOR TWO OCEANFLIERS Moyle and Allen Believed Lost in Flight From Tokio to Seattle. By United rrcss SEATTLE. Sept. 11.—Don Moylff and Cecil A. Allen apparently have sacrificed their lives in the North Pacific in the name of aviation. Belief that the two young fliers who set out courageously to fly from Tokio to Seattle in a second-hand monoplane, met death in a plunge into the ocean, was general today. No word came that could be deemed authentic of any airplane that reasonably could be supposed to be theirs. No trace had been found by ships of threee nations detailed to search for them. One possibility remains that Moyle and Allen are alive. If they landed their battered monoplane, City of Tacoma 11, on some desolate island beach along the Aleutian chain, or near some native village in Alaska, it might take a month or longer for reports of their safety to reach civilization. Slink Hope Remains That possibility is a slim one, a£ no reports of the pair have been re-* ceived shortly after they took off from Sabishiro beach, Japan, Mon* day. It was believed they would have been sighted somewhere, on land or sea, had they remained in the air long enough to reach any land on this side of the Pacific. Numerous reports of planes which might have been the City of Tacoma II have been received, but none a® taken seriously by aviation officials here or persons who know the North Pacific. The latest such repqpl*t Indicates that an airplane was sjfehted earl£ Thursday as it flew ov?r Carmacks, 200 miles north of White Horse, Yu* kon Territory. Absence of later re-* ports of the plane being either identified or found, however, indicated that the report was another false clew. Four passengers aboard the steamer Arthur J. Baldwin also were said to have heard a plane as it passed over that ship, but coast? guard vessels which searched every point of land within a large radius, aided by forces of men on shore, found no trace of the missing airmen. Weather Conditions Bad Aviation and coast guard officials also pointed out the fact that weather conditions along the Aleutian islands at the time Moyle and Allen should have arrived there were very bad. Fog, a stiff breeze, and a low “ceiling” were Indicated by weather reports. . Any one of those conditions would! have made the City of Tacoma's chances slight. All of them combined presented an almost insurmountable obstacle to successful flying, it was believed. The search for some trace of tha two young fliers was being continued early today, with the United States, Canada and Japan participating. Four coast guard vessels, large land forces, and a number of planes were making a thorough search of every point of land on which the fliers could have landed. Relatives Keep Hope ? By United Press LOS ANGELES, Sept. 11.—Relatives of Don Moyle and Cecil Allen refused today to give up hope that the missing trans-Paciflc aviators had landed on some isolated island and would be found within a few days. They were cheered by reports that the drone of an airplane had been heard over islands near Alaska. “That’s good news,” said Mrs, Mary Allen, wife of one of the fliers. “It shows they must have landed, then taken off again. They’ll fly into Seattle yet. I haven’t given up hope—not by a long shot.” TWO GET RUM TERMS SIOO Fines Also Assessed Ray Hineg and Vincent Minor. Two men were convicted in municipal court three today before William H. Harrison, judge pro tern., on blind tiger charges.
