Senate Committee Likely To Accept
 Melons Estimate Of Four Billion

Washington, Sept. 1-Secretary Mel Ions estimate that the government will require approximately $4.0o0. .0o0,- 900 to meet its obligations and run ming expenses during the current f1s- cal year Is likely to be accepted by the Senate finance committee as the basis for rewriting the tax bill pass ed by the House, Republican commit tee members indicated today.
 Although the committee began con- sideration of the bill in closed ex- ecutive session today. it was stated that no plan or policy for raising revenue and revising taxation would be formulated by the Republican ma iority members until after Secretary Mellon confers with the committee next week,
 Most of the Republican members are inclined to accept the secretary s tax proposals as a guide as to how far Congress and the administration can really go toward relieving the country's tax burdens and at the same time provide for the governments financial requirements.

Five More
 Arrested Early Today

Strict enforcement of the Connecti- cut Jitney laws was continued hv tba police of Bridgeport today. Five more arrests were made early today when drivers Of the Norwalk-Bridge- port buses were taken into custodv These arrests were made regarGJ1ess of the fact that the free ride system was in vogue on the buses.
 Police Superint endent Patrick T flanagan is unchanged in his de- termination to arrest and prosec11te every V1olator. This morning he turned down the plea of Attorney W F. D. Fitzpatrick, general counsel for the jitney interests, that the prose cr1on be temporarily held up until the pending test case is decided in the city court.
 Reports of a conference between Superintendent Flanagan and Mayor Wilson could not be confirmed up to press time. The prospect of Mayor Wilson taking hand in the jitney af- fairs was a choice morsel of gossip in Itney circles this morning. Ac- cord1ng to some sources, the Mayor was not overly pleased with Super intendent Flanagan's orders forcing the jitneys to discontinue operations and planned to issue orders to the contrary.
 Mayor Wilson will issue an order before noon for jitneys to be allowed to operate again" was the expression commonly heard on the streets. No confirmation could be obtained, how ever, as the Mayors office reported he was out of town for the day and

Private Owners x Get Decision

Tho controversy between officials of Pleasure Beach and private boat owners plying between Strafford ave- hue bridge and the pleasure resort Mras threShed out in the City court this morning. and a technical de- rcision awarded the private owners tComplains have been frequent of late fthat independent boat owners were cruising back and forth to the Island carrying passengers that otherwise would patronize the regular ferries.
 To test the contention of the island officials, Edward CoweI of Long Beach, Sjratford, one of the boat ,oWners was arrested Saturday on the technical charge of breach of peace. It was averred in the complaint that caused the arrest that CoweH Yiolat- ,ed a section of the city charter when E1e docked at the municipal wharf below the Stratford avenue bridge.
 When the case came before Judge lCon1ey this morning, Assistant Pros uecutinS Attorney Vincent L, Keating recommended a discharge of the case on the ground that no vtolato1n had hbeen committed. Prosecutor Heating stated that he had searched the charter for a possible violation, but had found no section or ordinance that had been broken in the specific cease. On the recommendation, Judge iComicy nolled the charge

 30 NeW

The assignment of 30 new teachers to the various schools of the city was announced this morning by Superin- tendent Slawson. When the schools open next Tuesday there will be an increased enrolment of about 1900 pupils over the registration last year.

Since that change was made three of the teachers who have been in constant opposition to the principal have resigned, one has gone on year leave of absence, and one has been made a principal.

Predict Unemployment May Reach
 6,OOO,OOO Before Conference Acts

Washington. Sept, Tine Federal Reserve Boards statement today that no factors warrant predictions Of a widespread business revival this autumn linked with tho assertion that unemployment may remain serious for a considerable period. tended to make more complex the problem or unemployment which President Harding and his cabinet have sent out to solve.
 The administration today was nov ing rapidly to lay the ground work for the coming conference of busi- ness and industrial leaders. The government has already undertaken thorough survey of all important cities, to determine accurately the ex- tent of unemployment.
 There were encouraging signs noted by the Reserve Board today in the economic situation, but they were largely seasonal in character, incl dent to earlier crop marketing and moveIn ents.
 Close of the harvests will throw hundreds of thousands back into the cities, the report stated. There is the prospect that unemployment may easily reach 6,ooo,0O0 before the ma tional conference begins to function.

Resolve Against
 Bureau Removal

At a netting of veterans of the World War held in the council cham Der of the City Hall last night, a group of ex-service men voiced their wig orous disapproval of the proposed establishment of the local bureau of the Rehabilitation department of the Federal Board for Vocational Education. Captain Rollie R. Cook, 363d Infantry, was the spokesman of the gathering and gave a great many reasons why the removal of the Bridgeport office would work a hard ship on the many disabled service men here. The plan is to have the nearest bureau at New Haven, and the men can not see any reason why the Bridgeport office should be re- moved rather than any other.
 The resolution states that there will be no economy in the proposed step or any gain in efficiency, that it is the general policy of the depart ment to bring the offices to the men rather than the men to the offices, that it will disrupt the present or ganization and work a great hard ship on the men from the point of view both of expense to them and in loss of time. Copies of the resolution are being forwarded to Congressmen and representatives.

Under New Provision Of State Laws
 All Women Must Pay Personal Tax

about the new ruling only yesterday when they received a copy of the statutes passed at the last session of the legislature. The list must be piled by the end of December and bills sent out before the first of Feb ruary, during which month the tax must be paved. NonIpayment of the personal tax calls for a penalty of jail term until the tax, expenses and interest have been paid, unless some satisfactory reason can be given.
 According to the wording of the act, the tax is flor town and state ta> ;; in lieu of a poll and con1mtta- tion tax There has been no cha rze in the old law under which all men were required to pay this amount annually except that the word per son has been substituted for "n1ale."

According to a new provision of the state laws all women will be re- quired for tho first time this year to pay a personal tax of s2. It is esti- mated that the same number of wom- en will be listed for the payment of this tax as men, and as there have in the past been about 10000 men in Bridgeport who contributed their s2 annually, the local tax collectors office will probably receive that sum from about 8o,6oO persons this year. The law applies to every one be- tween the ages of 21 and 50 years of age.
 No formal notification of the new ruling, which was approved on June l of this year, has as yet been re- ceived by the registrars of voters, upon whom falls the duty of com piling the list, but they found out
