 MEET UNION HEADS IN PERSON

 While railroad administration offi- cials and union representatives appa- uation as quiescent, White House off, cials expressed concern at the gravity of the problems presented.
 Without disclosing what these questions it was declared that the general public did not realize the na- ture of the issues involved.
 Union officials with the exception of maintenance of way employees and the brotherhood of railroad train men, apparently were willing to leave the case in the hands of the President. Although there was dis satisfaction because the living costs had not been reduced, it was evident that the union men felt that another opportunity should be given for ad- justment of the differences which have been held in abeyance at the Presidents request since they were submitted last July.
 MT. Hines has made a tentative ap- pointment for this afternoon with J B. Malloy, vice-president of the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees and Shop Laborers and his committee of ten, to discuss the or ganizations alleged grievance which led to its call for a strike next Tuesday.
 W. G. Lee, president of the Broth erhood of Railroad Trainmen, also was to confer with Director General Hines on his individual reasons for tnvalidating the agreement which his organization has.

 ''The socialist party is a revolu- tionary party, having the single pur- pose of destroying our institutions and government, which. they abhor and substituting the Russian -soviet government or the proletariat gov ernment instead to be controlled by themselves. This appears from their platforms and propaganda.
 ''The Socialist party is not a na- tionaI party, like the Democratic party or the Republican, whose aim is to conserve and preserve the nation. The Socialist party is an anti-national party whose allegiance is given to the tntsrnationale and not to the United States, whose government and instructions 1t would destroy.
 Mass action and the general strike are advocated and urged by the Socialist party as a part of the plan to bring about conditions favor able to revolution, and as instrum ents of revolution and not to remedy in- dustrial evils.

 regular set of books or keep them iD a haphazard manner. For instance when a doctor pays several visits to a patient and receives but part, of his bill and merely notes the amount of cash received he is subject to the cash basis of figuring up his income.
 The physician, however, who. after several visits charges up the patient with the whole amount of the bill whether he receives it all at once or not, keeps books on the accrua1 sys- tenn and is entitled to charge off against his taxable income, losses by bad debts. Those who keep a so1alled leash basis system are not allowed to charge off bad debts for the reason. that they do not show them on theft books.
 Attention is also called to the fact that the purchase of a new automo- bile is not an expense but an asset. Depreciation may, however, be charged off against a machine each year. Cost of supplies, repair of an automobile used for professional work, light, telephone and office expenses for professional work may be charged off against taxable income.
 Where 6 professional man has an office and maintains a home where he also sees some patrons, he cannot charge off rent on the home office against his income. Where his sole office, however, is in his home a pro- portionate part of the rent for the home may be charged off for office rent
