resolution, by which Congress would
authorize the navy TO accept Marjorie's

This special appeal was made neces-

accept the children's patriotic offering.
The Secretary replied TO Marjorie's Of

which he not only refused TO accept,

Bankers Protest Against

Aliens.
1T. DAVIES QUESTIONS
CITATION OF HIS CASE
Saws Governments View Was
Not Involved in Brushaber
Against Union Pacific.

Julien T. Davies. Of Davies. Auer-
bach & Cornell. who argued in the SUI
preme Court of tie United states the
case of Brushaber against the Union
Pacific Railway Company, cited by In
ternal Revenue Commissioner Osborne
as supporting a tax on income aecruing
70 nonresident aliens in the form o.
interest from bonds and dividends on
stocks of domestic corporations, safe
yesterday that the ruling was not justi-
fed by the high courts decision.
The Commissioner decision has
aroused a storm of protest in banking
and corporation circles, especially as IT
is retroactive TO January l. A move
ment is under way TO protest 10 WASH
ington against the new ruling, or at
least petition that it should not go into
effect until May /.
Mr. Davies said there was no ques-
ton in the case argued by him relative
10 the income accrung 10 nonresident
aliens. and the construction Of the in
come tax law in reference to taxation
of nonresident aliens was not before
the court az that time. His statement
added:
Under date of October %, 1913, J. C..
McReynolds, then Attorney General
and now justice OF the Supreme
Court, gave an opinion to the Secretary
of the Treasury to the effect that the
provisions OF the income tax law did
not lay a tax upon the interest accruing
on bonds held and owned by nonresi-
dent foreigner. and his opinion was fol-
lowed by a ruling from the Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue TO the ef-
feet that interest from bonds and diSi-
dends on stock of domestic corpora
tons owned by nonresident aliens are
not subject 10 the income tax. whether
such bonds and stock are physically To-
Gated within or without the United
States. or whether they are in the pos
session of agents or trustees in some
fiduciary capacity in the United States.
or otherwise.
Former Ruling Reversed.
"Al that can be said upon the sub
iect is that the present Commissioner
of Internal Revenue has reversed the
former ruling and now holds that prop
erty is subject to income tax which pre-
viously has been considered 10 be ex-
empt. cannot consider that this
change of view is justified by the opip-

Miss Perkins Says Spring
Bills Are Aimed at En-
ployes' Protection.
PROTESTS AGAINST
NEW CANNERY HOURS
Miss Swartz Declares Changes
Violate Agreement Made
in Conference.
From s,.- Correspondent n The Tribune

From s'sr Correspondent ~ The Tribune
Albany. April Miss Frances Per-
kins, OF the Committee Of Safety, Of
New York, declared tonight that the
Spring bills, amending the labor laws
in reference TO the fire prevention
equipment Of factories, would break
down all the laws enacted for the pro-
lection of factory workers as result
Of the Triangle fire in New York CRY.
Miss Perkins appeared against these
measures at a hearing before the sen
ate Labor Committee, while Marx
Daley. counsel for the State Manufact-
urers' Association. was the strongest
advocate of the bills. It developed at
the hearing that Senator Spring nitro
duced the bills by request. Chairman
John Mitchell, James NJ. Lynch and the
other members of the State Industrial
Commission were present TO oppose
them. -,
For two years" Miss Perkins told
The Tribune correspondent, I'VE have
beaten efforts to make radical changes
in the factory fire protection laws by
small changes. These bills were so
bad that the Argetsinger committee 10
recodify the labor laws threw them
out. and they were introduced sepa-
rately."
Miss Perkins Joined Miss nellie
Swartz. of the Consumers League, in
opposing the provisions OF the Spring
bill in reference to the hours OF labor
in canning factories.
Miss Swartz said that an agreement
had been reached on canning amend
ments. but held that i was not carried
out in the bill. Under the bill, she
said. the commission could permit can
ming factories TO work their employees
between June 10 and October 10 sew
enty-two hours a week. during seven
DAYS, and until II o'clock at night
She declared that at the conference 1t
was agreed not TO permit canning en-
ployes to work later than 10 o'clock az
night or more than six days in the
week, even in an emergency. Her pro-
test was taken under Amusement by
the committee.
Both Miss Perkins and Miss SwarD
protested against the provision IN the
Spring bill which would permit the In
dustrial Commission on request to vary
the hours of labor Of all employees.
This would be merely the begin
ming" said Miss Perkins. "of doing
away with all the laws that have been
enacted for the betterment Of the con-
dition Of working people"
