OLD WECCAC0E
NOT TAX SUBJECT

Officials OF the weccacoe fire COM
pany have sent checks to the 65 or
more members for 1854 each rep
resenting their share of the money
held back pending a decision from
the Internal Revenue Department at
Washington as to whether the COM
pany was liable TO taxation under the
Federal Income Tax laws. The
checks were issued early this week
following the receipt of a decision
by the Federal authorities that mas
much as the company had filed a
partnership, personal service return
blank. they were not subject to the
income tax.
The tax return Is to be paid by
the individual members of the COM
pany, however. according TO officials
of the Internal Revenue Depart
ment. II was said this morning that
the Weccacoe company was the only
local fire company to make a return
to the Federal government on the
forms issued to partnerships, the
other fire companies having filed
their returns to the authorities as
corporations.
SO far none OF these companies
has been advised as to whether
they are taxable under the income
laws. As result each OF the other
eleven organizations that formerly
performed fire duty under the volun-
teer system has on deposit the re-
OF the money they received
from the city for their equipment
and houses. less that held out for
the payment OF the Federal tax at

All hopes Of settlement had been
based upon belief they would come
in.
Demand for a committee of arbi-
tration was presented by the oper-
ators who held out against the peace
conference. Lewis has steadtastly
declined TO reveal his attitude to-
ward this proposal.
According TO John /. Lewis, the
wage scale agreed upon will serve
70 end the country wide walkout.
Lewis intimated that the union will
take any agreement around to oper-
ators all over the country and eign
up with as many as possible.
when II becomes a choice OF
signing up or having mines remain
idle. the insurgents will sign,
Lewis said.
Despite the fact that both oper-
ators and union chiefs have declined
10 make formal statement Of the
points TO be discussed Il was believed
that the bltuminous controversy will
