OBSERVE THE LAW
Collector Fink Declares Few Corpora.
tons Failed to File Reports

According to Henry Fink, Milwau-
new law providing that every corpora
ton, joint stock company, association
and insurance company must file re-
port of its net income on or before
March !, has been observed in most
parts Of his district.
In speaking of the matter, Mr.. Fink,
at Milwaukee, said, "With the excep-
ton of the cases which under the law,
the collector has granted an extension
to file reports, the reports are practi-
cally all in and have been forwarded
to Washington where the assessments
will be made. After these assess
ments have been made, the corpora
ton assessed will be at once notified
of the amount of tax due, and have
until June 20 to pay it.
"In connection with this" he said,
"as to publicity of the income returns,
collectors have been advised by the
secretary of the treasury that until
further legislation is had, the law and
regulations as to the records of the
internal revenue departments will be
applicable to corporation reports, and
no one can have access to them ex-
cept upon the authority of the secre-
tary of the treasury
The failure. of corporation to fle
its report before March /, is liable
to lead to fine of not less than
81 900, and not more than $4,000.

WOULD INCREASE BENEFITS
Members Claim That the Amounts Al
lowed in Case of Strikes is not Large
Enough to Provide for the Support
of Strikers.

The members of the United Brother
hood of Carpenters and Joiners of
America are voting on proposals to
amend sections 81 and "a Of the gen
eral constitution. The amendment to
section q provides that the election of
general officers shall take place be-
tween and including the first and last
day of November following the conven-
ton. The proposed new section, to be
known as section 24b, is framed in
language that leaves it in doubt wheth-
er the expenses incurred by candidates
OF their proxies, from their presence at
the counting of the votes shall be borne
by the general office, the candidates
themselves or by their respective local
unions.
In his last statement issued to the
membership President Huber takes up
the strike benefit question. In part he
says: "While very few strikes have
occurred during the last three months,
we have to record some lockouts, but
none of an exceedingly serious nature;
all have been financed by the general
executive board to the limit the law
allowed, or at the rate Of So a week a
man, which, in my opinion, is insult
fcient and too cheap for an organiza-
ton such as the United Brotherhood
"We have some complaints from To-
calities which have never experienced
any strike or lockout before, regarding
the sum paid by the general office, but
they seem to forget that we cannot pay
larger strike pay unless the local
unions pay larger per capita into the
general fund and hope to see the day
when we will be in position to finance
any strike or lockout at the rate of Sc
per week per man. In order to do
this it would require an additional sum
of about cents more per member per
month, but consider the good that could
be done and the strength it would add
to our organization in times of trouble
Four dollars week benefits is not
enough strike pay, especially to a man
who has family to support. You
would not miss that extra amount, and
it would relieve much suffering and
give our membership more confidence
in the organization. Get out of the
cheap old rut and realize that those
who are fighting in localities for better
conditions are fighting your fight and
that their struggle should be made the
fight of the entire organization.
"We are still agitating the spirit of
consolidation among the locals in cities
where the plan could be proftably con-
summated. 1t has proved complete
success so far and we urge upon all
cities to consolidate existing local
unions wherever possible; it saves Of
fcers' salaries, hall expenses, printing
expenses, and gives the members a bet
ter idea as to what is going on instead
Of having to wait for the report of their
delegates to the district council It
also creates more harmony and good
fellowship and strengthens the bonds
of brotherhood more than any other
plan.'

The communications pouring into this

PuRINGTON ALONE IS BETTER
Indiana and Danville Brick Urged for
Pavement of Ashland Avenue Fall
Far Behind in Second Official Test
by the City,


Support for the people and property
owners of Ashland avenue who de-
manded of the city that Barr brick be
used in the paving of that thorough
fare has been brought to light by the
report of the test OF the various brick
suggested to be used on the street
which was completed by City Engineer
Robert H. Moth and his assistants on
Thursday evening and the result of
this long test shows that the Barr
brick have again defeated the Indiana
and Danville brick.
The test just completed was supple
mental to the RATHER test completed
a week ago and it is known as the
ABSORPTION test In this test the brick
are all placed in water for term of
seventy-two hours and the value of
the brick is determined on the amount
Of water absorbed in the seventy-two
hours. The result Of this test shows
that while the Barr brick is not alb
solutely first it is far ahead of any of
the brick that has been suggested.
The Purington brick, which is the
same brick as was used for the pay
ing Of Main street, Park and Prairie
avenue, alone stood a better test.
The result of the test showing the per
cent of increase in weight as result
Of the ASSERTION is given as follows:

No suggestion has as yet been made

test made at this time together with
the test known as "rattler testO the
Barr brick have the best of the argu-
ment as the test of the Barr brick in
the RATHER was just as much better
than the test of the Purington as the
Purington defeated the Barr in the
absortion tests. By all the tests made
the Indiana and Danville brick have
been shown to fall below the Barr and
the Purington. For purposes of com
