Refuse Old Scale.
Fuel was added to the situation to-
day by the refusal of western roads
to grant requests of labor to reinstate
the wage scale in effect before July /.
This decision was frequently forecast.
The roads also refused to agree that
there will be no further wage reduc-
tions and to waive their request for
abolition of certain overtime pay
mentS.
The railway executives declared 1t
was against public policy to resume
the old wage scale as the public de-
manded lower rates." which would be
impossible if wages and overtime pay
mentS were not reduced.

States railroad board for eight hours
pay for eight hours work. as being
proper. The national agreement be-
tween the railroads and the clerical
forces is silent as to vacations or sick
leaves, and the Santa Fe contended
that they have no part in working
agreements.
No other classes of railroad workers
on an hourly or daily rate, who are
paid for Overtime when over hours
are worked, receive sick leaves or va
cations on pay. 1t was stated official
ly today, that no formal order was is

this information, together with the
fact that the matter is not touched
upon by the national agreement, was
brought to the attention of the vari-
Gus departments, along with the gem
eraI instructions of the labor board
that all railroads be managed as eco
nomicaIly as possible, further leaves
of absence on pay by the clerks auto
matically ceased. Previous to that
time the usual vacations had been
given to clerks despite the fact that
they have been on an hourly basis OF
employment, the same as all other
classes, since the time the government
took over control of the roads. The
vacations had been given gratuitously
by the Santa Fe just as they will be
under the latest developments until
the matter is passed upon by the fed
eral board.

Inasmuch as more than half of the

DEMOS IN FLOP
Tho Party Opposes Tax Re-
vision, Many support Bill.
Sixty Amendments Must First
Be Disposed OF.

Washington, Aug. 19.-The tax re-
vision bill was thrown open to amend
ments in the house today, but the
ways and means committee recon-
mendationa as to changes had right Oh
way and other amendments had little
chance for adoption.
About sixty amendments to the bill
were in the hands of committee mem
bers when the bill was taken up. and
it is believed by Republican leaders
that the time left for consideration of
the bill before the vote is to be taken
tomorrow at O'Clock will be occu-
pied fully in the debate that is to come
on changes demanded by Republicans.
The Democrats will have little opPor-
tunity to urge the changes they desire
in the bill, and ne chance of securing
their adoption.
Among the committee amendments
to be adopted to the bill are:
Removal of the $40 tax on vendors Of soft
drinks which will result in a loss of reve
nue. of about $1O,000,000.
Removal Of the manufacturers' tax OF 3
per cent on toeth powder and tooth paste
Exemption from income tax payments
made as pensions, compensation, insurance
OF other gratuities to veterans of all wars.
Reduction from Is per cent to I2H per
cent of the tax on capital assets and gains.
Defining foreign trade corporations as
those which do 90 per cent instead Of so
per cent, export business. Taxes will be
levied on such corporations on the amount
of business transacted in the United States.
Creating a special commission to recon-
mend legislation TO prevent evasion of in
come tax payments thru investment in tax
exempt securities.
While the Democratic leader con-
tinue to fight the tax revision on po-
litical grounds, the final vote on the
bill will see many Democratic mem
bers lined up in favor of its passa ge.
fhe recent Democratic caucuses to de-
termine definite action on the bill was
attended by less than so of the 100
Democratic members of the house.
Many Democrats remained away from
the caucus to be left rree for individ-
ua1 action en- the bill.
