 LIKELY TAX BILL
Repeal of Theater Admission
 Taxes Expected

Washington, Nov. IS (UP)--The
 new tax reduction bill is expected to
 he completed by the house ways and
 means committee by the end of next week, ready for introduction at the opening of congress. It will receive
 right Of way in the house and should be passed there before Christmas. Reductions provided by the bill as it passes the house will total about S@o1, 1,00o,00O or about S75, ,000. GOO more than desired by the adminis- tratlon, it is indicated by the views of house leaders who will steer the measure. No one ever can predict what the senate will do 10 a tax bill, but it probably will not lessen the reduction and may increase it.
 As sentiment shapes up, it appears that the bill will provide:
 1-Rcpcal of thcater admission taxes and club dues and probably re- peal of the automobile tax.
 2-Roduction Of the corporations tax from l3 1-2 per cent to 12 per cont certainly and probably to 1 1 per cent
 &-l:etcntion of the estate tax, whose repeal Secretary of the Treas ury Mellon asked.
 Ii was also predicted today by Representative Garner, democrat, Texas, that the bill would provide no reduction in the intermediate brackets advocated by Mellon, though il is known that administra- ton leaders in the house, as well as in tn" senate, will make strong fig urc for this reduction, which would affect fairly large incomes.
 The committee today had written into the bill certain amendments 10 section 220, aimed at preventing holding and investment companies from eVadins taxes by leaving their profits in "dummy' companies in- stead Of distributing them,
 One amendment provides that personal holding companies which retain about 30 per cent of their net income shall be taxed 25 per cent of the amount undsturbed. This applies to corporations and holding companies having 10 or less stock holders in control of So per cent of , ioCk and deriving so per cent Of their income from rentals, royalties, 'tc. It does not apply to dealers in securities.
 Another adopted amendment pro- tides that other forms of corpora- ions retaining so per cent or more )r their net income in their business must show the treasury why they should not be taxed, otherwise, tho 50 per cent tax provided in the sec ion will be levied.

HOPE FOR MINE
PEACE FADING
Congress May Be Asked to
Aid in Solution.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Rep-
reSentatives of soft coal operators
and striking miners continued to
strive for a settlement at Secretary
of Labor Davis peace conference
today, but with the feeling that
Congressional action to govern the
whole industry may be necessary in
the end.
Secretary Davis issued a state
ment late Wednesday saying 1T is
useless for small operators to at
tend any conference unless the
major operators attend and agree to
remedial measures
2 This was interpreted to mean that
refusal of big mining interests of
Pennsylvania and Ohio to attend
the peace meeting had jeopardized
its chances of success. The con-
ference continued today mainly in
hope that it's findings could be sub
mitted to the nonattending opera
tors with a view to calling of pos
sible full conference later.
Davis said the confereeS had es-
tablished that while 100000 men are
on strike in Pennsylvania, Ohio and
West Virginia for continuance of
former wages, production goes on
and new mines constantly open.
This leads, he said to cut throat
competition, raising the question of
whether Congress should create a
body similar to the Interstate Com
merce Commission to supervise the
industry.
