of the possible yield, but 1t is known
that the tonnage will be good all over

been excellent, especially the last few

much easier than last year. Wages,

ing, produce only about half Of the ma
tional income. The rest is due TO the
efforts of small independent workers.
Income Tax DISCREPANCIES.
The report estimates that the mum.
ber of persons In 1918 having incomes
over $1,000, was 100000, and that
their total income was over % billion
dollars. Income tax returns. however,
showed only 2,9OS,OOO persons having
over $1,000, and their total reported
income was less than IA billion dol
lars. This discrepancy is due in part
to technical evasiOns and straight lille
gal withhOldings, but also in part to
the existence Of taX-exenpt income.
" nat this means In terms of the in
come tax is that the government re-
ceived In 1918 about half billion dol
lars less than 1t would have, If all
persons receiving $1,000 had paid their
full amount.
Contribution Of Housewives.
The contribution of the 20,O0O,OO0
American housewives is not included
by the bureau In the national income
because they are not paid In money.
But the report points out that If they
were paid at the lowest possible figure
(the average recompense of personal
and domestic service) their addition to
the total national income would be
about one-third, or IS billions. On
that basis, the bureau gives the follow
ing conjectural figure as to the fluctua-
ton Of the housewives contribution
to the national income since 1909:

WASHINGTON, May 3. - Unless
Panama acts voluntarily within "a reas-

measures to compel her to transfer juris-
dictiOn of the disputed COtO territory to
Costa Rica. Secretary Hughes says in
n recent note to the Panama government.
The text of the document was made pub

This government believes that it
would be inadmissible to interpret its Cb-

embracing an obligation to support any
claims for adjoining territory which
might be advanced by the government of
Panama. no matter what the opinion of
this government might be as to the valid
ity of justice of these claims" the note
says.
After stating that the American gov

turn over the territory in question to
Costa Rica. the note says: Unless such
steps are taken within a reasonable time
the government of the United States will
find itself compelled to proceed in the

Effort Will BE Made to UniOnize Big
Organization President Tighe Says
There Is Much IdlenesS and Conditions
Worst In Years.
HAMILTON, Ont. May "a new
wage scale and working agreement for
the independent steel mills of the United
States will be the most important mat
ter before the biennial convention of the
Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel
and Tin Workers, which will open here
tomorrow with representatives OF 23,ooo
steel workers present.
While the wage scale adopted by the
convention will only directly affect dhe
plants with which the Amalgamated has
agreements. Michael Tighe, international
president. pointed out that 1t would also
Eventually affect 10000 steel workers
in the plants of the United States Steel
corporation whose wages are generally
based on the standard set by our Orgam-
zatiOn.'
Mr.. Tighe declined to indicate the
probable action of the convention.
We cannot tell until our wage com
mittec reports what the men want, he
explained Some lodges may recommend
increases or continuance of the old scale.
Our committee has been sitting out the
various resolutions ara VIII UttNI-tt Il
concrete proposal.
while our men have taken reductions
in many cases their wage is still conSld-
crably above the pre-war base.
Because OF depressed industrial condi-
tions. Mr.. Tighe said that the attendance
mt the convention was not expected to
be as large as in past years.
''ThoueandS of our men are out Of
work" he said, 'as many of the independ-
cnt companies have closed down or are
working at greatly reduced capacity.
Conditions are the worst We have eX-
perienced in years. Not only independ-
cnts but the plants of the United States
Steel corporation have been working at
about 80 per cent, or less, of their ca
pacity.'
Resolutions tending to support the
campaign Of the Executive Council of ma
tionaI and international organizations in
the steel industry to unionize the plants
Of the United Steel corporation are also
to be considered. This committee.
headed by Mr. Tighe. will launch its
active campaign on June 10.
