RAIL UNIONS INSIST
ON NATIONAL SCALE
Such Agreements Uphold
Peace in Business, Lauck
Tells Labor Board.

CHICAGO. March 20. Applying the
conditions in other industries which LED
to national agreements 10 the railroad
industry, W. Jet Lauck. consulting
economist for the railway unions. to-day
presented voluminous arguments in Ia
vor OF national agreements on railroads.
Mr.. Lauck presented his testimony be-
fore the Railroad Labor Board as part
OF the evidence in support OF the unions
contention that the national agreements
should be continued.
Organization Of employees as well as
organization of unions has become ma
tionwide, because the industries hem-
selves have become nationwide" MI
Lauck said in presenting an exhibit on
the movement toward national agree
ments.
Mr. Lauck declared that when both
employers and employees were organized
into bodies of national scope the way to
Industrial peace was through national
agreements.
I'm no industry is it more important
than in transportation that a sound
basis for national unity he laid" Mr..
LAuck declared That the individual
railroads should be consolidated into Co
ordinated systems IL clearly recognized
in the transportation act by its provi-
sions for combinations. the permission
TO pool purchases and the establishment
OF a national labor board"
Statistics and data covering the origin
and operation OF national agreements in
the stove industry. glass bottle industry
pottery, clothing manufacturing and
coal mining industries and in typograph-
icla and electrical workers unions were
presented by Mr. Lauck.
National agreements in other indus
tries, he said, tended to show that in
dlstral peace was attained by national
agreements that establishment OF uni
formity was socially important: that
unions do observe their contracts that
national agreements must cover working
conditions; that trade agreements are
not inconsistent with the open shop and
that such trade agreements tend to
humanize the industrial situation.

GOMPERS WARNS
OF LABOR UNREST
Urges Passage of Measure to
Prevent Spying on Unions
by Detective Agencies.

Special Despatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Albany, March -.
Samuel Gompers. president or the
American Federation of Labor gave the
warning here to-day that the workers
of the country will rise up TO "dereat
rhe antagonism that seeks to crush the
labor movement" He appeared before
the Assembly Ways and Means Commit
tee in favor OF the resolution OF Assem-
blyman Samuel Orr, Socialist, providing
for a legislative investigation OF the
alleged practices of private detective
agencies in spying on labor unions.
Mr.. Gompers charged that these de-
tective agencies and the corporations
which hire them are part of forces
which are trying to destroy the unions
and break the hearts of the workers.
Few people know the discomfort ana
disgust felt because of the prevailing
conditions" he said, land want to tell
you that the only element that STANDS
between the masses and deterioration is
the much misunderstood American labor
movement. And those who would crush
It had better halt. I have an abiding
faith in the patriotism of the American
workers and that they will come out all
right"
Mr.. Gompers said the activities of the
detective agencies formed one Of the
greatest causes OF dissent In the indus
trial world. Hugh Frayne, general or
ganizer of the American Federation Of
Labor. told how detective agencies Of
fered their services to corporations to
prevent strikes and break up unions by
having their operatives become members
and sow the seeds of conflict
Mr.. Gompers also appeared before the
Assembly General Laws Committee
against the Brady anti-strike bill. which
he declared to be a vicious piece Of leg
islation. He said it would drive work.
ers back to slavery. Other labor leaders
said that it was un-American and un-
patriotic

Behind Expected Earnings.

Government figures considered by the
Cabinet show that the railroads are rum
ming s70o,000.000 a year behind the
earnings directed by the Esch-Cumrnins
law and expected as a result of the rate
advance of last August.
In the face OF the situation the Presi-
dent and his advisers are agreed with
Senator Cummins and others that rates
not only are too high for the good OF
American business. but that in many
instances they threaten the economic
structure.
Because OF dearth of business at the
present high rates there is no car short
age or other transportation difficulty at
this time, but the railroads are under
equipped. and experts in and out Of the
Government service are looking for
repetition OF such difficulties as car
shortage and congestion when the heavy
movement of the autumn sets in and
the crops begin TO go TO market.
After talking over the matter with the
men handling different phases OF the
transportation problem. Ii is probable
that the President will call in other
interests in the. railroads, including s. 1
Davies Warfield. president of the Ma
tional Association OF Railroad Security
Owners. and members az the Association
Of Railway Executives as well as ship
pers.
For the security owners Mr.. Warneld
already has advanced before the Senate
Commerce Committee a plan for effect
ing railroad economies TO reduce costs
OF operation. and 1t Is likely that hear
ings will be held on that phase. In the
meantime. in view of the serious Cabinet
consideration, 1t is regarded as probable
that the President will go into the rail-
road problem in his message to the next
Congress. Whether he does or not the
railroad problem is certain to take up
much of the time OF the session.
Direct methods OF reducing railroad
operating costs were not discussed bv
the Cabinet, and there was no discussion
OF railroad wages, though railroad ex-
ccutivcs have gone on record on the po-
sition that wages and working condi-
tions would have TO be changed TO meet
present conditions If the railroads are to
continue operation.
There are two items Of agreement bv
all of those concerned with the emer-
gency. They are
First. that rates are too high and,
Second, costs of operation must be re-
duced.
Railroad executives have moved for
abrogation OF the national working
agreements, which IL is declared have
put too heavy a load upon the payroll

No Car Shortage Now, but Con-

Sure to Be Serious.
peciai Despatch to THE NEw YoRr HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. c., March 90. I


President Harding and his Cabinet
have determined to tackle the intricate
railroad problems and to find a solu-
ton as an absolute essential of normal
peace time business and prosperity.
After the Cabinet meeting to-day
President Harding made it known that
he would call to conference with him
Chairman Clark and other members OF
the Interstate Commerce Commission
and the chairman and members of the
Railroad Labor Board. President Rea
of the Pennsylvania Railroad and Sem
ator Penrose of Pennsylvania already
have conferred with the President and
it is likely that others interested in
the railroads will be called to the
White House.
At present traffic or sufficiency of
transportation is not problem, but
the situation with regard to rates in
it's effect upon traffic is regarded as
dangerous. The railroads are not earn
ing anything in spite of the fact that
rates are on level almost universally
regarded as too high.
1t has been suggested in many quar-
ters that the falling off in railroad traffic
is due to the fact that many commodities
cannot move freely on the present level
of rates, with other prices on the down
ward trend. and producers have pro-
tested that they could not market their
products profitably on the present rate
basis

PHILADELPHIA. March 29.-After a

Board the question of reducing the

INCOME TAX FACTS
YOU SHOULD KNOW

Frequent inquiries are received by
collectors of internal revenue from
storekeepers and other business men
as to whether the taxpayer in business
for himself may deduct from his gross
earnings an amount of salary paid
to himself. Wages or salary drawn
by a taxpayer from his own business
are more in the nature of a charge
out of profits than 2 charge against
profits. If deductible they would
merely be added to his income and
the effect would be to take money
out of one pocket and put it in
another. Therefore, claims for such
deductions are not allowable.
Salaries employed to minor chill
dren employed in the conduct of a
taxpayers business are not allowable
deductions. If, however, a son or
entire time is occupied in taking care
own household no deduction can be
is allowed free use Of their earnings
amount paid as compensation fortheir
services may be claimed:
A farmer who employs man to
assist in the operation Of his farm
may deduct from gross income the
amount paid for such services. Like
wise, if he employs a woman whose
entire time is occupid in taking care
of the milk, cream, butter, and
churns, or if her services are devoted
entirely to the preparation and serv-
ing of meals furnished farm laborers
and in caring for their rooms, the
compensation paid her is an allowable
deduction. If, however, she is employ
ed solely in caring for the farmers
ow household no deduction can be
made.
In arriving at the net income upon
which the tax is assessed, deduction
may be made for ordinary and BUSH
ness expenses. The revenue act
specifically prohibits the deduction
Of personal, family, or living ex-
penses. Such expenses include rent
for home, wages of servants, cost
of food and clothing for the family,
education Of children, "and all items
connected with the maintenance,
well-being, and pleasure of the tax
payer and his family"

Coming to Game

While Mayor Sullivan of Bogalusa
is attending to the Bogalusa end of
arrangements, A. j. Heinemann of
the Pelicans is planning and schem-
ing to make the trip of the Birds to
Bogalusa a regular event. The Pei-
cans will play the st. Louis Browns
in the sawmill city March 6, and the
game will officially blow off he
raining season lid.
With the presence on the ground
Of several Pelican players and the ex-
pected arrival in day or two of
Manager Dobbs, things are beginning
to hum here baseballistically
For that reason President Heine-
mann wants to see that nothing goes
wrong with his plans for taking a
weII-balanced team to meet the
Browns, as he not only wants to show
Bogalusa that the Pelicans form q
live baseball club, but has another
reason.
Heinemann's other reason is he
wants to make the "trip to BOgalusa
big affair, and needs the support
of about a thousand local baseball
fans.
Tt would be treat for local fans
who never has seen the miracle city
OF BOgalusa to make the trip there
with the Pelicans March 6th," said
Mr.. Heinemann. "They not only
would get a chance to take in the
biggest sawmill in the world and size
up a live little city, but would see
a real good game Of ball.

special car on the train which leaves
