port until the contents OF the girls

He declared government control of coal
had proven bigger failure than govern
ment control Of railroads. The fuel ad-
ministration, he said, fixed prices which
in many instances were below the cost of
production. Its methods also resulted in
such fuel shortage as never had been
experienced in this country before.
Mr.. Allen also said that since Novcm-
Der the railroad administration has been
confiscating coal by wholesale and limited
that the object was to turn over hoard
ings to the railroads when they go back
to private hands.

own use about 100000 TONS he said

PART OF N. Y. INCOME TAX
LAW DECLARED VOID

Washington. March Right Of tho
states to impose income taxes on nom
residents provided they arc in harmony
with those imposed on residents was up
held and defined to-day nv the Supreme
Court in two decisions. In case from
Oklahoma the court held that a state
unquestionably had authority to levy in
| come taxes against non-resdents on in
comes derived from property within the
state.
In New York case. however the court
declared that such taxes against nom
residents must not be discriminatory
The Oklahoma income tax law was sus-
tanned and the New York law was de-
cared void insofar as II denies 10 nom
residents exemptions which are given New
York citizens. Both opinions were given
by Justice Pitncy. with Justice Mercy
nolds dissenting in the New York case
In both suits were involved the exen,p-
tions. similar to the federal income tax
law. provided for married and single per-
sons
Distinction between the Oklahoma and
New York laws it appears, was that the
Oklahoma law gives non-rcsidcnts and
citizens the same exemptions. while the
New York law denies TO non residents
exemptions granted its own citizens.
In the Oklahoma proceedings cha rles
B. Schaffcr of Chicago sued the State
auditor to enjoin collection Of income

joined to the Yale e. Towne Manufacturing

| Reciting that thousands OF Connecticut
and New Jersey citizens work in New
York in competition with New Workers.
and yet the non-resdents were called
upon under the New York law 10 pay
