RuHns On Gambling Losses.

Gambling losses. are still deductable
on the federal income tax return, but
only to the extent of gambling gains.
Thus, If a taxpayer wins $1,000 in spec
ulation and later loses $500, he is re-
quired to report only the $500 net gain
as incmome. If however, he is not al
lowed to deduct these losses from his
income.
The question Of exemptions is still
bothering many taxpayers, despite the
fact that the annual income tax has been
in force for a numer of years. The Of
ficers Of internal revenue request tax
payers to remember that returns must
be filed by all single men whose income
ihs above $1,000. whether additional ex-
emptions would make it unnecessary to
pay tax or not. The return must be
filed in anly case So also with married
men or the heads of families with an
income exceeding $4,000. Many people
believe that because the average exernp-
tons for marriend man equay $2,5oe
that returns need not be filed unless their
income is over that amount. This fs not
the case. All earners Of income in this
class must file a return If they receive
over $4,000 during the year.

NEW HAVEN ROAD REPLIES TO
STATEMENT OF RAILWAY CLERIC,


New Haven, Conn, Feb. 20.-The man
ageunent of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad today replied to
the statements of officers of the Brother
hood of Railway Clerks on the system
in which the latter had protested the
Change in working conditions of the
clerks. By the change it was asserted by
the latter that sick leave with nav. va
cations With pay, pay for holidays and
elimination of Saturday half-holidays had
been made effective without agreement on
the part OF the committee which had been
In conference. 1t had previously beer
stated that reduction Of ages had consti-
tuted another phase Of the conferences.
The railroad statement Is to the effect,
In lts Introductory paragraphs, that prior
TO federal control the rates of pay hours
on service and working conditions were
nxed as the result Of mutual understand
| ings. Under this arrangement clerks were
paid ma weekly basis. They were not
paid extra for overtime except under I'M
usuaa condltions, nor for work performed
on sundays and holidays. says the state
nent. 1t was the common practice tc
relieve them from work on Sundays and
holidays except under an emergency con-
| ditfon. In consideration of the non-pay-
ment for overtime work they were grant
ed certain privileges in the way of sick
leave and vacations, all dependent ucon
the general status of the work in the Of
fee employed. These were privileges in
mutual exchange for certain extra re-
qlrlr ernents as to service from time to
tine
Federal control changed all this. The
rates of pay of clerks were put upon .
daily basis and the daily basis was as
lcertaf1red by multiplying the daily rate
by the number of days of the clerks assign
ment per annual dividing by 900, the lat
ter representing the basic years work BY

Segment of 365 days had his daily rate
increased very materially for the 800
days. If he continued to work 3s5 days HI
was paid for the days in excess over 30t
on the basis of the daily rate established
It will therefore be noted that all priv
iileges as to Saturday half-holiday, Sun
DAY and holiday work, vacations and sicl
leave were capitalized and put into tn
Idaily rate.
The clerks and the management faiiet
to agree as to the continuation of thes
bases of pay and working conditions a
established by the federal railroad admin
istration. The dispute was submitted t
