P. R.. R. CUTS EXPENSES
To Lay Off Employees Few Days
a Month, Saving 10 Per Gent.
~ Telegraph to The Tribune. ]

by IeleBrdpH 10 Inc lIipuhSsl
Philadelphia, June 1S.-As a direct
result of the decline in freight tonnage
and passenger traffic and in line with
the policy Of retrenchment begun last
winter, the Pennsylvania Railroad has
a new scheme of saving, whereby 1t is
expected 10 per cent will be Topped off
the total payroll Of the office depart
mcnts here.
Instead of laying Oft certain num-
Der of office employees during the sum-
mer, as has been done in previous
years, the management decided to di-
vide the force Of each department into
squads and to lay off the members OF
each group in turn for three or four
days each month.
Each employe losing one-tenth OF his
months salary makes 10 per cent cut
in the total payroll, and as the scheme
has gone into effect all over the system
the saving will be enormous. About
five hundred clerks in the accounting,
purchasing, auditing and allied depart
ments in the Broad st. station and other
offices here will be affected.

AGREE ON CLAYTON BILL
Committee to Kill Objectionable
Anti Injunction Features.
[From The Tribune Bureau

Washington, June lS,-Members OF the
Senate Judiciary Committee, who are re-
vising the Clayton antitrust bill sent
over from the House Of Representatives.
practically arrived at decision to-day 10
eliminate from the measure some Of the
Objectionable features Of the anti-injunc-
ton clause. Although no action was
taken, it was predicted that the prohibi-
ton OF injunctions against picSeting, boy
cottine and other activities of labor
unions incidental to strikes would be
eliminated.
There are indications that the more
drastic features OF the bill will be modi-
fed and an effort made to secure unan-
unity of opinion so far as possible. 1t
was admitted by Republicans to-day that
there is a possibility of a unanimous re-
port on the bill.
The controversy heretofore has been
over the provision exempting labor unions
from prosecution under the antitrust
law, but the anti-injunction clause Is also
demanded by labor leaders.

Amendment Urged to Per
nit Demand for Corpora
tons Accounts.
EMISSIONS TROUBLING
TREASURY OFFICIALS
Change Would Allow Dragnet
Probe of Concerns Handling
Subscribers Assets.
From The Tribune Bureau


Washington, June 1S.-An amendment TO
the income tax law delegating further
inouisitorial powers to the Commissioners
Of Internal Revenue in detecting evasiohs
was recommended in a communication
sent to the House to-day by the Treasury
Department In submitting deficiency es-
Inmates for the various government oe-
partments. Secretary McAdoo also trans
,nitted a note from the Commissioner Vi
Internal Revenue asking for an aHienu-
ment 10 the income tax law Whicn "ouiu
rive him full powers to demand the DOCKS
aud accounts of persons, firms ana lhul-
vIduaIs subject to the income tax ana
who make returns either for themselves
or other persons.
The law now contains a provision CIV
ing the Commissioner power 10 lh'esu-
gate fraudulent returns or TO coilpei
showIng from persons who fail to MAKE
returns, but 10 provision is made Tor IN
ouisitorial powers over corporations
stock companies and other organizations
holding property or moneys belonging 10
others.
The Commissioner Of Internal Revenue
recommends that there be penalties TOT
violations of the proposed amendment
the fines for violations to run as high as
$1,000.
The request Of the Internal Revenue
Commissioner probably will be regarded
in some quarters as demonstrating the
foundation for reports that the income
tax law is not working as satisfactorily
as expected and that evasions are trouD-
ling officials of the Treasury Department.
Under the broad amendment proposed
to the law, agents of the Treasury De-
partment not only would be given access
to the individual accounts and papers OF
persons subject to the law, but the In
ouisiton would extend to a dragnet In
vestigation of the affairs of corporations
and associations handling the income OF
assets of subscribers or others.
Deficiency estimates aggregating S2'oSS'-
O49. including s12S2.97S for the Navy De-
partment, largely due TO expenses OF the
Mexican situation, were submitted b!
Secretary McAdoo.
