LETTER TAX TO
become ELAW
Measure Favored by Hard
ing Would Raise $7O,OO0,-
600 Revenue in Year
NO EXPENSE
FOR COLLECTION
RY HARRY HINT.

WASHINGTON ~ The extremity
to which Congress is forced in its
search for new sources Of revenue
is illustrated by the proposal, sane
toned by President Harding. that
letter postage be increased from
cents to cents. the proceeds from
the increase to be turned into the
treasury as general revenue.
It now seems certain that this let
ter tax will be included in the new
revenue bill.
Between S7O,OoO.O 900 and $4,000
600 annually would be raised by this
letter tax. with practically no ad-
ditional expense for collection.
While the President has indicated
he favors the higher letter postage
as an equitable means Of helping 10
prevent a deficit in the Postofiice
Department due to increasing losses
in parcel post business. the Post
Office Department disclaims respons-
ibility for or interest in the proposed
increase.
The extent to which postal revenues
have been shrinking Is Indicated 10y
reports from the 90 largest cities fol
the month OF June.
Chicago's postal revenue for jun
was S6S,OO0 behind June, 1920, Phil
adelphia showed a shrinkage o
S131,0OO, Cleveland OF 20 900, Brook
lyn OF $4,000. Pittsburgh S4l,O0C
Buffalo $4,000, Akron $4,000, an
st. Paul $4,000.
New York City in June showed a
increase. but the gain there wa

LABOR TENETS
Judge Lays Down Principles
For Ending Building
Trades Disputes
STABS AT GRAFT IN
CHICAGO SITUATION

CHICAGO-Federal Judge Kenesaw
Mountain Lands has laid down a set
Of business principles for the build
ing construction industry.
His tenets are expected to form a
countrywide basis for settling build
ing trades wage disputes.
After shooing crookedness out Of
baseball, the jurist was called upon
TO adjust the notoriously evil build
ing trades situation in Chicago.
He seized the opportunity to take
graft out OF home building - a task
that three Federal juries, a special
county grand jury, and the Daley
Building Commission had long la
bored at and without success.
And now II looks as though his
common sense arbitration" is about
to meet with favor.
Here are the principles which
Judge Lands drew up and insisted
must underIie any and all working
agreements between the Chicago
Building Trades Council and the two
employers associations:
ARTICLE
Monopolistic elements OF associa-
tions or unions are intolerable un-
less.
% The public is served more eco
nomically with them than without
them.
CD Unless any one qualified may
join them without hindrance or dis
elimination.
go Unless they serve any one on
demand without discrimination.
(4) Unless sufficient apprentices
be taught to supply enough skillful
managers and workers.
7 (5) Unless working rules and con-
ditions eliminate waste Of time
: effort and material; increase quality
and quantity of product; encourage
) improved methods, materials and
, appliances; produce increased skill
and contentment of the workers
= and help to preserve peace in the
community.
ARTICLE 2
other things being equal, trades
t should have higher wages or wages
, above the average,
% II the work is more hazard.
! GUS.
!. CD If a longer term of apprentice
Z ship is required to become proficient
(4) II the work is intermittent oi
unsteady due to weather or season
able demand.
ARTICLE 3
other things being equal trades
having rules or conditions that pro
q duce or permit waste should have
. lower wage. or wage lower thar
the average rate
ID Rules that limit or curtail il
any way the amount of work pc

time paid for.
