The housing question is being rapidly
cleared up. All that is needed is to
obtain the necessary efficient labor.
1t should be brought home to en-
pfoyers and to the employees of the
industries Of the nation that their own
future depends on the construction Of
these ships. The fact is that the re-
cent order issued by Fuel Administra-
tor Garfield, closing the factories OF
the whole country, and the more re-
cent freight embargo issued by Secre
tary McAdoo, tying up all the freight
with the exception OF food and fuel,
came not because OF falling down on
the part of the carriers themselves, but
because OF the lack Of ships. The
reason for this is plain. The speeding
up of the American factories piled in
the Eastern seaports, and packed into
every railway siding outside of the sea-
board cities, thousands OF loaded cars
of materials for the war zone The
result was that even the coal required
for the ships in harbor could not get
through, and even the few ships which
we now possess were held in harbor by
empty bunkers and could not sail
Until we have ships to clear the At
lantic ports of manufactured goods, for
which our Army in France and our
Allies are in need, these enforced holi-
days and embargoes must recur, with
the result that no factory in America
can be assured Of running full time and

What Is the income tax In dollars
on married mans net income of 81
0o0? Also on $4,000?
In case there are no children under
Is years on what amount does the 4E
apply?
On net income OF $4,000 married
man living with wife would have no
tax to pay as this is the amount of his
exemption. If net income was $4,000
the tax would be $40 e percent on
$500. In other words he pays on the
amount OF his net income in excess
of his exemption fs2,000.)
In regard to when the percent ap-
plies. for example will assume this
married mans net income was $1,000,
on $4,000 of this he would pay per-
cent and on the balance of his net in
come ($1,oO0) he would pay 4 percent
which would make his total tax $50 ON

and are regularly employed One is
II years old; the other. 81 years old.
Am I required to include the amount
of income which accrues to each dur
ing a calendar year in my personal re-
turn?
As the first child has not reached its
majority and Is still legally under your
control, the amount of its income is to
be Included in your personal return
and is subject to tax in your hands
The income of the child which has
attained its majority is not to be in
cluded in your return and is only sub

Must Include in my personal return
the amount of interest I receive on
Liberty Loan bonds, or is that interest
exempt from tax?
All interest derived from the Liberty
Loan 81 percent bonds issued under
the act Of April "a, 1917, is exempt
from both the normal and the addition
al income tax.
Interest derived from the Liberty
Loan 4 percent bonds issued under the
act Of September "a, 1917, is exempt
from the normal income tax; but so
much OF the interest as is derived from
such bonds. the principal of which ex-
ceeds $4,000, is subject to the addition
al income tax; that is, If you hold
$4,000 Of Liberty Loan percent bonds
the interest from $1,000, or 5000, is
exempt from tax, and the balance of
the interest, or 1920, is subject to the
additional tax
I held an endowment life insurance
policy upon which I paid premiums for
20 years. In 1917 that contract ma

No. Return only the difference be-

8 HOURS CONSTITUTE
ENTIRE WORKING DAY
War Labor Board Umpire Makes
Important Ruling.

Walter Clark. sitting as umpire
for the War Labor Board, yesterday
decided the controversy between the
molders and the wheeling Mold and
Foundry Company. The War Labor
Board in previously adjudging the
case had ruled that eight hours
should constitute a days work for
all molders and Gore makers"
In the Interpretation OF the award
it had been claimed that the eight
hour-day was only a basis day for
pay and that the provisions for
overtime nullifed 1t as a straight
working day.
The umpire ruled that the eight
hour day was straight working
day as well as a basis for pay and
was to be exceeded only in emsr-
genCies. To determine when an
emergency existed and take the au-
thority for the declaration OF such
condition away from the employer
he set up a committee Of four, two
selected by the employer and two by
the employees. The question of a
necessity for overtime work must
be submitted to this committee and
an emergency will be regarded as
existing only when three members
of the committee agree to il.

COAL SUPPLY EQUAL
TO MEET LOCAL NEEDS
People Do Not Have to Worry This
Winter, Says Woodruff.

Coal conditions in Washington
are 40 per cent better than at the
present time last year.
This was the statement made yes
terday by B. W. woodruff, assistant
fuel administrator. who said that
the people of the Capitol may rest
assured that all residences will be
taken care OF throughout the sea-
son.
He attributed the delay in the
delivery of coal last winter not to
the storms and severe winter
weather. which, he said, have little
effect on the railroads, but to a gen.
eral oyercrowding of the whole
railroad system. which does not ex-
ist now. The physical condition OF
the railroads today is so per cent
better than a year ago, Mr.. Wood
ruff declared.
Anthracite coal has been almost
entirely restricted by the Fuel Ad-
ministratioR among business houses
in order that the residences may be
protected.
