NATIONS WORK
Frs AIDED
BY UNI0NISM
SECRETARY OF LABOR DAVIS

Washington, Feb. 2.-ENpreSsing
regret that he was unavoidably de-
tanned from attendance at a dinner in
honor of VIM. Green, president of the
A. +. of l., and George Hedrick ana
William J. Tracy, president and sec
retary-treasuTer of the 4. +. of l..
building trades department, Secretary
of Labor Davis said: My spirit Is
with you in the tribute yau are met
to pay to the new leaders of trade
unionism, the men who will lead the
forward march Of American labor to-
ward the betterment and happiness Of
the man who works.
"These men are old and experienced
in the trade union movement con-
tinued Secretary Davis. They have
fought the battles of American labor
in the ranks and in responsible eXecu-
tive positions. Under their guidance
we may look for true progress, for
action in tune with modern conditions,
for the preservation of all that Amer
lean trade unionism has won during
the wonderful 80 years of leadership
of our late revered leader, Samuel
Gompers, and for the winning of new
victories in keeping with the ever Tor
ward moving ideals of our times.
Men change, times change, methods
change. We must keep step with
progress. The methods OF trade union
development which | knew when l en-
tered the movement more than 80
years ago must give place to methods
which fit conditions today. Then,
unionism fought as the under dog.
Today it stands upon more equal
footing with the employers with whom
it must deal.
Under the leadership of the men
you honor tonight, we may look Tor
stirring revival of the age-old prin-
ciples of trade unionism. True serv-
ice of these principles lies not in the
hatreds born of controversy in the
political arena. 1t lies largely in
bringing about a closer understanding
between the man who works for n
living and the men who manage the
industries which must supply the ma
ton.
at lies in the closest possible CO.
operation among trade unlonists
everywhere, and in the elimination OF
all conflict and friction throughout
the broad field of trade unionism.
These things we may expect from the
leaders in whom the American union
list now reposes his confidence.
ITO these leaders and to every
trade unionist | pledge my heartiest
support and cooperation in every
movement that may be attempted for
the advancement of the man and
woman who works"

HIGH RENTALS
REACT AGAINST
MANY OWNERS

Washington. Feb. Real estate
men throughout the country are pro
testing to congress against drastic
rent-regulation bill for the District OF
Columbia that is being considered by
national lawmakers.
Since the war, housing in Washing
ton has been a serious problem. Dur,
ing the war the government erected
several large buildings to house It's
women office workers. The govern
ment continues to operate these IN
stitutions.
Real estate men have insisted there
is no housing problem. They nave
fought the creation of rent commits
soin, which has been made impotens
through court decisions.
Fictitious values have been placed
on large apartments and other house
ing properties and increased rents
have been necessary to pay interest
on mortgages that have been pyra-
minded on these false values. Apart
ments that cost 100000 to build IN
war times are now carrying three and
four mortgages that total four and
five times the original cost.
These exactions have been so hard
that the real estate men are alarmed
and they now acknowledge that the
law of supply and demand" will not
check the pyramiding of mortgages.
They are willing to accept a license
system, and are combating other
pending bills in the hope that action
will be postponed until March 4, when
congress adjourns.
The bill that alarms them provides
that a commission shall examine
books and other documents Of real
estate owners and also fix rents: Il
rents higher than the commissions
award is charged, the tenant may sue
to recover double the amount Of suca
excess. and costs. The owner may
also be fined up to $1,000 and lmprls-
oned one year or less.

Bans Motor Cars.

From the London Mail
There is part of the British empire
not one hundred miles from the south
coast of England where motor cars
are practically unknown and certainly
not wanted. 1t is Sark, the smallest
of the Channel Islands and the au-
thorities have made a law forbidding
any motor car to run over their roads.
The people of this island had never
seen a motor car till last May, when
DR.. p. Lake Hope the newly appointed
medical officer of the island innocently
enough shipped his car from Eng
land.
DR.. Hope, however, was not allowed
to run the car over the roads and
when his daughter defied the law by
driving it the fpur-and-a half minute
journey from the little harbor up to
their house she was severely admon-
ished and fined $40 and warned that
next time the car would be confiscated
and fine of $50 imposed.
The medical officer has been COM
PEELED to store his car and use the
engine to drive a dynamo for electric
lighting and for charging accumula-
tors for electrical treatment for pa

HUGE TAX REFUND
HANGS IN BALANCE
II Courts Uphold Decision,
Corporations Will Recover
Hundreds of Millions.

Should the courts uphold the board
of tax appeal in Il decision in which
the Treasury, so far has declined to
acquiesce, it Is estimated that huge
refunds to taxpayers may result.
The board decision, reached in the
case of the Guaranty Construction
Co. of New York. overturned Il prac-
tice of the Bureau of Internal Reve-
nue. in computing invested capital OF
corporations for assessment of excess
profit taxes. While obviously no ac-
curate figure could be calculated as
10 the amount of money involved, 1t
was everywhere admitted that should
the boards view be upheld refunds
running into several hundred million
dollars would be required on taxes
Illegally collected between 1917 and
1921.
In the Guaranty case the board
found that surplus at the beginning
of any taxable year may not be re
duced in computing invested capital
on account of taxes payable within
the year upon the income of the pre-
ceding taxable year The far-reach-
ing effect of the ruling went unno-
ticed for several days even by Treas
ury officials but when its scope was
recognized it was Immediately deter
mined TO take the question into court.
Just when legal proceedings Will be
initiated however. has not been de
termined.
The boards decision brings into
question thousa nds of corporation tax
returns In the years 1917 TO 192l
most corporation incomes swelled un-
der the wartime purchases of fhiS
1and foreign governments, and after
hostilities had ceased purchases were
extraordinarily heavy.
The Treasury was compelled TO
make refunds of about $40 900 600 in
the stock dividends case. and Act
ing Commissioner Nash of the Inter
nal Revenue Bureau believes the re-
fusal of the board to allow the sur
plus deduction for taxes presents the
likelihood of greater refunds II the
court upholds its view. One private
accountant has estimated that the re-
funds may reach $3.50, 900 900, but on
this officials were unable to agree.
In any event. the Treasury expects
to be flooded with demands for eX-
animation of corporation returns, for
tax lawyers have declared that should
the courts uphold the board practi-
cally every corporation in existence be-
tween 1917 and 1927 will be entitled
TO refunds Such a, decision also would
give the Internal Revenue Bureau
job of reauditing returns the magni-
! tude of which never before has been
approached
