MASTER PAINTERS
MAKE PEACE OFFER
Compromise Move Follows
Conference With Leaders
of Union Men.

A special meeting of the union
painters will be called as soon as
possible TO consider compromise
offer for the settlement of the strike
offered TO them by the master paint
ers at conference this morning.
While the compromise offer was not
made public. it is understood the
painters based their offer on $3.50
scale. Whether or not this will be
acceptable. together with the other
features of the proposed plan, to the
union painters. who have asked for
a raise of from SO to $40 day, can
not be foretold.
There is every indication, however
that a number of the master painters
win not recognize an increased wage.
Several of them have recently stated
that they will not consider a com
promise, if the other members of the
association decided to suggest one.
The employers, contractors and op-
erative builders will not act upon the
situation until next week. when a
conference will he held to consider
what steps will be taken. Several of
the operative builders have already
dismissed the union plumbers who
received a wage increase the other
day from SO to S10.5o. The plans
OF the operative builders IN regard to
the plumbing situation will also be
considered next week
The meeting today between the
master painters and the union men
was brought about through the ef-
forts of John B. Colpoys. Federal
conciliator. While the union men at
the conference did not offer any plan
of their own, but merely attended
the meeting to listen to the suggeS-
tions of the master painters. much
hone is held out for a settlement IN
that this is the first decision on the
part of the union men to call a spe-
cial meeting to consider the offer of
the employers. Other suggestions
have been dealt with at the regular
weekly meetings on Fridays.
The meeting this morning took place
at 1910 NJ street, office of Edward l..
Smith, secretary of the Master Paint
ers' Association, and lasted about two
hours.

MELLON EVOLVES
NEW TAX-CUT PLAN
viii Adopt Novel Approach to
Argument Concerning
SurtaxeS.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Secretary Mellon has adopted a new
method of approach to the problem
of tax revision, which may become the
basis of the administration entire
argument for reduction of surtaXes in
the next session of Congress.
Mr.. Mellon confesses that il is hope
less to expect the immediate passage
of a constitutional amendment re-
stricting the issuance of tax exempt
securities. but declares there is an
other and even more effective way of
cutting off this inviting avenue of es-
cape from taxation"
The Secretary realizes. of course,
that even a Federal amendment could
not affect the S11 900 900 900 of tax.
exerqpt securities now issued and pro.
poses, therefore, that the Government
readJust surtaxes ION a basis that will
attract capital back into productive
business and keep it from exhausting
itself in tax-exempt securities or from
taking advantage of other methods of
investment by which taxes are
avoided
There has been talk of 25 per cent
surtaX rate as the maximum to be
applied, but Mr.. Mellon points out that
Congress must go even lower than
tnat. really, TO compete with tax
exempt securities.
ITO a man whose income is sub.
ject TO the higher brackets of the
present law says Mr.. Mellon, "a tax
able investment should WELD a return
OF about per cent to equal the net
return of Az per cent tax-exempt
security. On the other hand. under
a total normal and surtax of 20 pei
cent. taxable security Welding
slightly more than ) II per cent would
be the equivalent in net return of a
AZ per cent municipal bond. We car
see, therefore, that if the surtax rates
are reduced to reasonable figure, the
lure of taX-exempt securities will be
come less appealing and the man OF
large income will find it advantageou
to invest in productive business
AT no time has the administration
ventured 10 ask Congress to place the
surtax rates low enough as to com
pete actually with taX-exempt securi
ties. The Secretary now comes out
frankly for such an equalization anC
ii means surtaX of not much more
than Is per cent.
The Treasury experts figured it out
two years ago that the most equita BILE
surtax maximum that could be applied
and yet yield the Government suf
ficient revenue from that source was
around IS per cent. Mr.. Mellon fel,

new his appeal. but this time the
indications are he will not ask foi
