view OF clarifying the previous law re-
garding the King and Madison streets

ment heard between Assistant City So

and Sewer Department, under whose
resolution The Information In the case
twas drawn up. had no authority over

other markets that should subsequently
be established by the department The

DELAY returns
FOR Income TAX
Collector Says They Must
Not be Made Until Bill
is Signed
EXPECT LARGER
NUMBER THIS YEAR

Collector Lederer, Of the Internal
Revenue Department, Philadelphia dis
triet has issued a warning TO prOspeo-
tive income taxpayers that tax blanks
must not be signed or sworn 20 before
The new revenue bill shall become q
law.
Under the constitution President VIII,
son has ten days time after its passage
10 sign or veto It. II is regarded as q
foregone conclusion that the President
win sign the bill.
Although blanks for Individuals
whose Incomes are not more than
5000, are now available, they are Is
sued only for the purpose Of allowing
the taxpayers ample time in which tC
read them over and lll them out. A;
stated by Mr.. Lederer last week. the
new revenue bill Is assumed 10 be a
law in 50 far as the preliminary worl
Of getting ready for its operation Is
concerned.
No blanks are being sent out from
the collectors Office as yet. but per
sons wishing may get them by call
ing at any Of the district internal reve-
nue. Offices. After the bill is signed
blanks will be sent out 70 all persons
who paid an income tax last year
Each OF these blanks will bear seria
number for Identification
Forms for the tax on tobacco anc
distilled spirits VIII be sent out TO th'
psyers early next week. These form:
will 90 70 about $4,000 tobacco deal
erF and 1000 liquor dealers.
Under the new act an increase has
been made in the registration fees FOL
the handling Of narcotics. Druggists
must now pay a tax Of s6 and physi-
oians a tax Of g. instead Of the for
mer tax Of 81 which each had 10 pay
A great volume Of work in the way
Of mailing out forms will be thrown
onto the revenue oflice within a few
days. Forms sent TO individuals will
number iii.OOO; those TO corporations
and excess profits payers, 10000, while
other forms VIII make total OF i60,-
600
Mr.. Lederer estimates that many more
returns will be made this year than
were made last on account OF the in
creased wages made here beginning with
the last twelve months, and that cor
poratlon taxes this year will be in ex-
cess OF those for last because OF IN
creased business which came here as q
result Of the war industries.
Two rules are impressed upon tne
public by the internal revenue olcials
the one is that everyone iianie 70 TAX
who does not make a full and proper
return viii be psnalized by civil and
criminal prosecution; the. other rule
Is, II in doubt as to liability to taxation
make out return.
A few fundamental rules to be OBJ
served are: The new tay is based upon
incomes from $1,000 to 5000 at pei
cent; the rate on incomes above $500
increases in proportion TO the amount
OF income. o.
Exemptions TO single men are 5000
70 married men, $1,000 plus 500 for each
dependent child under eighteen years
Df age.
All returns must be in the Collector
oflce by March IS, and one-fourth OF
the tax must be paid by that same date
The balance OF the tax falls due In three
instalments, as follows: June 70, sep
iember IS and December 70, 1919. The
entire tai may be paid at first pay
ment.

NEW YORK, Feb. iS.-0f the total
number Of women who held Jobs dur
ing the war, less than 10 per cent. will
leave their pos tions now, DR.. Geo.ge
Kirchwey. director Of the United States
Employment Service for New York
State declared today.
DR.. Kirchwey does not refer excIu-
sively to women who took mems Jobs
during the war emergency. His figures
include the great number Of women
who were working for living in peace
times.
while the unemployment problem is
a growing one in New York and all
over the country" said DR.. Kirhwey
"few women workers will leave their
positions. We hear daily Of women be-
ing displaced by employers TO make
way for returned soldiers, but we are
not advising employers 10 release their
women workers. We want them 10
make room for the returned men AID
retain as many other workers as pos
sible."
AT present, according 10 Or. Kirch-
yyev. there is a great surplus OF labor
all over the country This is due 10 dis
charge Of soldiers and sailors and the
Shutting down OF war factories. The
unemployment question is growing, but
after a period OF six months OF so DR..
Kirchwey predicts that there will again
he a scarcity OF labor. While many
women may be displaced by returned
men. they will eventually come back,
Kirchwey believes.
Having once experienced the lnde-
pendence that comes with earning their
own way, they viii not readily surren-
der IT," he said. "And while they may
materially effect the present high stand
ard OF wages, they are susceptible TO
organization and will readily Join into
the ranks OF organized labor"
While no drastic measures have been
taken there Is a rapidly developing diff
ference OF opinion between labor unions
and women workers organizations.
