Income taxpayers are slow in re-

thousand made returns last year,
whereas only 1000 have filed state
ments and paid the tax up to this
time.

rush which will probably begin next

view to having their wage boosted

ever.
This unequivocal statement was
made this morning by representa-
tives Of the unions who declare that
they expect the "Reminiscences of
their employers to prevail, par
ticularly in view of the present
building boom in the National Capt.
tai.
1t Is known that the contractors
of Washington have not strenuously
opposed the wage increase asked by
the carpenters, and that they have
already agreed to meet half of the
wage increase suggested by the
carpenter local. Representatives of
the local say that an early meeting
will be held to thresh out the situa-
ton.
The electricians, it is claimed by
the employer group, are making the
request for their wage increase on
the fact that the cost of living has
increased. This fact, the employer
group is trying to refute.
G. Broome, business agent of the
plumbers local, said this morning
that while they will wage a fight
for the $1.25 per hour wage rate,
there has been no strike talk, and
there is no intention to strike.
Broome contends that the pay OF
the plumbers has not kept pace with
other trades.
1t is understood that the steam.
filters, led by John Bolts, also are
in line for the wage boost, but they
are under an agreement which will
not expire until June !, and no
defenite action viii De taken for q
couple of months.

CALI Curci Is Galli-Curci. No as
piring artist can quite bring out the
delicate trills, the pulse-thrilling
cadenzas or the cracking staccatos
quite like this darix.eyed Italian
singer.
Her personality, vibrating with an
eIlce from the moment she stepped
on the platform.
There was but one disappointing
feature Of the lengthy program. CALI
Curci did not really enter into the
spirit of her offerings until the third
number. Prior to this there was a
certain Earring quality in her top
notes that was displeasing. This.
quality she tried hard to disguise by
employing the time-honored tremulo.
But the notes of the middle and
lower registers were finely chiseled
and were brought out to excellent
advantage.
The program opened with q dainty
little italian song, "Anaor0Si miei
gforni," by Donaudy. A rolliclxing
old English song, 'The Pretty Crea-
ture." by STORAGE, a favorite with
Washington concert singers. was de-
lightful.

ity previously mentioned was most
noticeable. But in the next number,

and flute-like trtlls and runs. Nine.
