NEW YORK, January 20.-Since
the publication of income tax pay
ments some business men in this
city have deliberately increased
their payments out of all proper
ton to their actual incomes, solely
to boost their credit, according to
Harry Herkowitz, who is connect
ed with the bureau of internal
revenue here. He revealed the
fact in a speech before the New
York Credit Mems Association last
night.
Vanity, and not desire to
boost credit, caused some other
persons to increase their income
tax payments since publication of
the figures, he said.

$4,000 COAL MINERS
READY FOR STRIKE
Prospects for Averting Gen.

BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SCRANTON, Pa, January 2O.-Pros-
poets of averting the threatened
strike tomorrow of 5000 coal miners
in District I, United Mine Workers,
appeared dim today. Various agen-
cies continued their efforts to pre-
vent the general walkout but mem
bers of the grievance committees
stood firm in their announced inten-
ton to order the men out unless the
strike of the 1000 Pennsylvania Coal
Company's miners was settled by to-
morrow and a district convention
called to hear their alleged griev-
ances. This appeared improbable, for
officers of the company, as well as
union officials, repeatedly have de-
clared that the strikers must return
to work before their grievances will
be considered.
On Strike Eight Weeks.
The men have been on strike eight
weeks and continued efforts have
been made to adjust the differences
Several weeks ago John L. Lewis. in
ternational president of the miners
organization, sent a special commits

Barre, where the strike vote Is to be

Cappellini has notified all local unions
that their charters would be revoked
should they join in the walkout.
Capellint and other district officials
expressed the opinion today that
should the strike be called, thousands
of the miners would refuse to join it.
They declared that not more than
three collieries of the Hudson Com
pany and probably four of the Glen
Alden Company would be tied up, and
that the Lehigh Valley, Susquehanna
and the Lehigh and Wilkes Barre men
would remain at work.

NORTH DAKOTA MAY
MANUFACTURE CEMENT
AND BUILD OWN ROADS

PIERRE, S, D.. Aug. 28.-Proprie-
tor Of It's own cement manufactur-
ory. South Dakota, may launch a
paved road program this summer,
using cement from its state plant
and labor from the penitentiary to
span the state with hard-surfaced
highways.
A plan has been worked out by
Gov Carl Gunderson which provides
for utilization of convict labor in the
building of paved roads. The ce-
ment plant would under the plan,
be operated at it's capacity of more
than 1000 barrels day and all
surplus cement turned over to the
highway commission for paving.
The Governor declares that the
cost would be small. If lack of legal
authority is possible obstacle and
it is found that such authority is
not invested in the highway commits
sion, the legislature will be asked
to sanction 1t Immediately.
