Gallagher. Organizer, Refuses
to Submit Compromise
of Builders

Efforts to effect compromise
by which striking union painters
would return to work 1T the old
scale of So, with a prospect Of
$3.50 next year, and arbitration
at the end of that period, failed
finally today.
William J. Gallagher, interna-
tional organizer of the painters,
told group of leaders in the
situation, at a meeting in the
offices of Herbert Shannon, presi-
dent of the Operative Builders
Association, that he would not
resubmit the proposition to the
painters union.
VIII Consider Fair Offer.
He declared himself willing to
consider and present "a form Of
compromise, which we think is fair
to u.s." stating that. otherwise. Goa
ture meetings of the kind held To-
day are impossible.
Coincident with this gathering, it
was reported today by union nffi-
Gals that the contract for painting
the addition to the New Willard
Hotel had been taken from the
hands of Edward Linskey, president
of the Master Painters Association,
by the Fuller Construction Cun-
pany, and had been given to union
men, hired from union headquar-
tiers, who started to work during the
morning.
The meeting today was the
second attempt on the part of the
building interests to keep wages at
their present level. The proposal
placed before the union heads today
was brought before a meeting of
builders, contractors and subcon-
tractors in the City Club last Fri
'day. and was rejected in favor of
an arbitration offer.
Union Open for Offers.
The union. on Friday night,
voted down the proposal to arbi-
trate, but held itself open to furth-
err offers. Lnasmuch as the. jour
neymen had not been asked to
vote upon the proposition discussed
today, 1t was believed wise to learn
from Mr.. Gallagher whether he
would present the mo raise at
present" program to the union. He
said he would not, expressing GER
tainty that it would be turned
down.
Mr.. Shannon expects to report
on the painters situation at a
meeting of the fair wage committee
in the City Club later today. and
to offer plan by which he be-
lieves the Master Painters Associa.

with other employers, rather than

D. c. Court Refuses Restrain
ing Order, Holding LegisIa-
tion Constitutional

The right of newspapers IN the
United States to print the amount
of income tax returns made by
American citizens was upheld to-
day in decision rendered in the
District Court Of Appeals, by
Judge c., S. Hatfield, Of the
United States Court Of Customs
Appeals, sitting in the absence
Of Justice Robb.
Judge Hatfield, in the case of
Gorham Hubbard, a merchant of
Boston, Mass, declared that pub
licity provisions of the Federal
income tax law is undoubtedly
within the legislative power of
Congress and does not offend
against the Fourth Amendment
to the Constitution and therefore
Treasury officials may not be en-
Joined from carrying out the terms
of the provision.
Case Was an Appeal.
Hubbard had appealed from a de.
cision of the District Supreme
Court, in which he had been denied
by Justice A. A. Hoehling an in
junction against David II. Blair,
Commissioner of Revenue.
Hubbard claimed his right Of
privacy was violated by the giving
out for publication of the amount
of his income tax and destroyed the
right of the individual to be secure
In his personal effects and papers.
Judge Hatfield holds that he Is
unable to agree with the contention
Of the petitioner that the Fourth
Amendment is violated because there
has been no search or seizure of
his papers or effects. While it has
been held that the Constitutional
guarantee Of person and property
should be literally construed, the
court points out. such guarantees
can not be extended to include al
legged rights, pertaining neither to
person or property, no matter how
unwise or mischievous an act OF
Congress may appear to the ag-
grieved party.
Attention was called by the court
to the fact that there is no conten-
ton that Congress has not the
right to require the divulging of
the private affairs of the individual
for income tax purposes but only
that the publicity provision Is in
violation of the Constitution.
The court says: I'VE are IF the
opinion that where Congress has
the power to require the divulging
of private informa ton for a lawful
purpose, 1t has authority Tor the
due and proper accomplishment Of
such purpose to require the giving
of publicity to the information thus
secured.
A Means of Enforcement.
1T appears to us that the pro-
vision for public inspection Of lists
containing the name and address of
each person making an income tax
return and the amount of tax paid
by him was considered by Congress
appropriate means of securing the
enforcement of the income tax law
and that such provisions are plainly
adapted to that end.
'They may cause many hardship3
and may prove to be injurious to
many persons. 1t may develop that
Congress was very unWiSe in enact
ing such provision, but such con.
sidera tons. in no way, affect the
Constitutional authority of Congress
