WAGE DISAGREEMENT
STOPS ALL BUILDING
WORK IN RICHMOND

All building operations in Richmond
have stopped as a result of the differ
ences which have arisen between
building contractors of the city and
workers over the scale which shall be
adopted for future operations in this
city. The strike came to a climax
Saturday. which was the date given
by the Master Builders association as
the date for the Inauguration of new
scales.
Conferences have been held in the
past few weeks at which sentiment for
a reduction in building costs through
out the city was stimulated. Members
of the Carpenters and Joiners union,
which are not working, state that they
did not participate in these meetings
and that as result they could not be
considered as real efforts to get to-
sether on a reduction of wages.
Reduction Fails
VIII Hendricks, chairman of the
Master Builders associa tion, stated
Monday that the contractors had made
efforts during the last few months to
get the carpenters, plum bers, plaster
ers, hod carriers and all allied work
ers to make provisions for a reduction
in the scale of their own accord, but
that they had failed to do this
! The Master Builders association
then decided that the workers should
accept a II to Is per cent cut, and
sent notices to this effect to the vari,
Gus organizations that the new scale
would be effective June II and tha 4
all workers coming to work on that
day would have to do so at the new
scale, according to Mr. Hendricks.
Claim Scale Low
Members of the labor unions claim
! that the scale in Richmond is now
! lower than that in any of the sur
rounding cities and that a reduction
| for them is unjust. They state that
reductions in building costs can be
made without lowering their scale oil
wages.
Mr. Gable, business manager for the
| carpenters and joiners union was MOI
in his office today but it was stated
by members of the union that he was
in conference with members of the
! Builders association.
1t is predicted that a reconciliation
will be effected by the end of thi:
week to get all workers back to work

council. Laboring men stated tina
the communications announcing thu
reduction in wages was sent directl.
to the different crafts.
The men state that they are read
and willing to go back to work at thei
old scale but feel that any reduction
is unfair
1 Say Cut Demanded
A leader in the Master Builders as
/ sociation stated that every tow
around in this part Of the country ha,
made reductions in their scale and tha
it was only right that similar reduo
tion be made here They stated tha
they had held up the scale as long a
possible but that builders demanded
reduction in costs before letting cor
tracts.
1t was estimated that between 10
and 200 men were out of work Nor
day. The difficulty here does no

SAYS TAX HITS CONSUMER

NEW YORK, December 1:.-The
wool provisions Of the emergency
tariff act are now being called the
wool embargo" by different factors
in trade. One representative points
out that the duty means all the
way from $3.50 to 81 out of the
pockets of those who buy the better
grades of overcoats. He explained that
an overcoat takes four pounds of
clean wool. which Is taxed As cents a
pound. making total of $3.50. If
this wool goes through the hands of
importer, topmaker. spinner, weaver,
clothing manufacturer and retailer at
an average profit of Is per cent, the
tax amounts to over $3.50 when it
reaches the consumer. Should the
manufacturer and retailer charge
their ordinary profit the tax would
come to over 81.

INCOME TAX CHANGE /
TO AFFECT 10000
Davenport Amendment Will
Have Double Effect. Accord
ing to Some Officials.
REFUND TOTAL UNKNOWN
1t May Be Offset by Assess
ments Where Security Losses
Are Less Than Reported.

Special Despatch to THE Nrw YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Albany. May o.
Almost 100000 state income tax
payers will be affected by the Daven-
port amendment. enacted to correct the
situation where an apparent profit on
the sale OF securities was taxed when
OF the Income Tax Bureau say they
have no way yet of estimating how
much money will have to be refund cd.
Some say the law will work both ways.
Assessments. they declare. will be made
where greater losses were reported by
the income tax payers than actually We're
suffered The refunds and the Issess-
ments may offset each other.
Before the Davenport amendment
was ena acteo almost a thousand income
tax payers, anticipating it. asked for an
extension of time in fling their returns
and were allowed sixty days by the
department Under a ruling made at
that time persons who believe that they
are entitled to a refund will not have to
make formal application. If they gave
the information sought by the depart
ment then the refund will be returned to
them automatically. the auditors of the
department now working on the basis OF
the new law.
Under the old law profit and loss or
securities purchased before January 1,
1919. when the income tax law went into
effect. were based ON the valuation on
that date. regardless OF the initial pur-
chase price. The Davenport amendment
provides that neither a profit nor loss
shall be deemed to have been made II
either the original purchase price or
the value OF a security on January |.
1919, is lower and the other higher than
the price for which the stock was sold.
If both arc lower than the sale price
the profit shall be computed from the
higher. II both are higher the loss shall
be computed from the lower.
Just before the Davenport bill was
signed by the Governor the Income Tax
Bureau sent word to taxpayers who had
disposed Of property acquired before
January I. 1919. asking them to annex
to their income tax returns memoranda
showing The actual cost price of such
property. the dates or the purchase, the
market price on January I. 1919. and
the sales price. and. II the property in
clrded stocks and bonds. the number OF
each
with these memoranda" said the no.
tice 1T will be possible for the In
come Tax Bureau in auditing them. to
readjust the taxes in the light OF the
rev law. and make refunds without re-
quiring the taxpayer to make applica-
tion therefor"
The Davenport amendment only af-
fccts incomes earned in 1920. Whether
the State will have to make refunds for
anrarent ugofits taxed for 1919 viii de-
pend on the decision OF the higher courts
In the ca se of Edward Klauber of New
York The Appellate Division here re-
Gently upheld his contention th"t he was
taxed for a profit on stocks sold in 1919
when he actually suffered a loss. State
Comptroller James A. Wendell has an
nounced that he will appeal from this
decision.

lAccial Despatch To THE NEw YORK HERALn.
Y New York Herald Bureau.
Albany. May y.
The two Lusk anti-seditton bills were
signed by Gov. Nathan L. Miller to-day.
One requires private schools to obtain
licenses from the State Regents. and i'm
poses the condition that they shall not
teach the overthrow of organized gov
ernment by force, and that they shall
not be conducted fraudulently.
The other requires teachers in public
schools to obtain certificate from the
Commissioner of Education that they
are of good moral character and loyal
to the United States Government. No
certificate will be issued to person
who has advocated form of govern
ment other than tina: Of the United
States or of this State, or who has ad-
vocated a change in the form OF this
Government by force.
In a memorandum accompanying his
approval the Governor highly praised
the purpose Of the bills denying the
charge that the requirement that teach
the teaching profession.
I'm my Judgment" said the Governor.
this measure presents single ques-
ton of policy and that is whether those
who advocate the overthrow or our
Government should be permitted to
teach in the public schools. 1T may be
that the necessary freedom IN the
search for truth requires the liberty to
teach even error in the schools OF
higher learning. but there certainly
should not be the same opportunity to
teach error to immature children In the
elementary public schools as possibly
may be necessary in the colleges and
universities"
Gov. Miller insisted that the law does
not interfere with any ones liberty
He declared that teachers can speak
and write what they win short of vio-
lating the criminal law. but that II they
want to think and speak disloyally of
American institutions they should not
be permitted to do so in the public
schools. where the law now very prop
erly requires the teaching OF patriot
ISM
or the law licensing private schools
the Governor said the State Board OF
Regents now has the licensing OF the
professions OF medicine. dentistry. vet
erinary medicine. pharmacy and op-
tome;ry. and also supervises the GER
tificating of nurses and public account
ants. and there has been no just com
plant that the liberty of any one to
pursue those callings had been unrea-
sonably or unwarranta bly, restricted
No one need fear the result OF this
measure said Gov. Miller, unless he
wishes TO teach criminal sediton or TO
practise fraud. and those who desire
TO do that seek license not liberty.
