OTHER
LARGE CLAIMS
AREPEND|NG

The United States Stedl
Corporation Is expected to gain
further tax refunds from the
Treasury as a result Of over assess
ments made since 1920, Repre-.
sentative Hawley (R.) of Oregon,
chairman Of the Joint Congress.
sional Committee on Internal
Rvenue Taxation, said today.
With approximately $90, ,0OO, 900
already refunded the giant
corporation for overpayments from
1917 to 1920. during which wal
taxes were in force, other claims
for later years are pending,
Hawley disclosed.
Garner Demands Probe
Representative Garner of Texas,
Democratic leader In the House,
who demanded a Congressional
investigation and aSSailed the
latest $33, 10000 refund to the
steel corporation, declared it
escaped taxes altogether for 1921
because Of credits established by
Treasury decisions.
Administration leaders say the
refunds resulted because the giant
corporation, doing it's bit during
the war, paid the highest possible
tax without quibbling, and let the
question of adjusting disputed
points be postponed until after the
war.
The differences, Hawley ex.
planned, grew out of Interpretation
Of invested capital and accounting
systems under the excess profits
tax laws, most of which since have
been repealed.
War Tax Passed HurriedIy
The war tax amendments, he
said. were passed hurriedly, with
the result that they could be con.
Strued two or three ways.
Garner has aSSailed the Treas
ury for not taking the steel cases
into court for a settlement. IN
stead, he charged, Secretary Mel
lon adopted policy which brought
enormuos refunds to big corpora
tions, among them companies in
which Mellon or members Of his
family are interested.

PILOTS TO FORM
D. c. union

A union for airplane pilots and
assistants will soon be an actu-
ality in Washington.
The Times learned today that
plans for formation of such q
union are well under way and
it is expected that a permanent
organization will be effected with
in q few days.
C. E. Haury, general organizer
for the International Dr,ion Of
Engineers, which is affiliated with
the American Federation Of Labor.
is completing organization OF the
fherS' union.
Twenty names have been signed
to a petition which will be pre-
Sented to the engineers union
asking for charter for the pilots
organization, Haury said. The new
union will be an offspring of the
International Engineers Union.
Haury said he did not know how
many eligibleS there are in Wash
ington, but that it was estimated
there are 10000 in the United
States.
An airplane pilots local has
been in existence in Oklahoma for
a year, Haury said, contradicting
reports from London that English
aviators were forming the first
union in the world. Active work
in forming similar unions is now
taking place in st. Louis, Cleve-
land and Denver, Haury said.

auditorium. while a concrete base

D. {. BILLS

Two important hearings by the
fun District Of Columbia Commit
tee Of the House today were
scheduled for next week, and fur.
ther impetus to District legisls-
tion was also assured when the
House Appropriations Committee
made ready to report the annual
budget for the local government
for the next fiscal year. This
budget will be the largest in Dis
trict history. It's report is due
Monday.
On Tuesday the District Of Co
lumbia viii resume hearings on
the street car merger bill. and on
wednesday the same committee
will take up again the Mcleod
bill to regulate real estate brokers
and Salesmen.
Radically Amended
AS this latter bill came from
subcommittee it bore little re-
Semblance to the original Mcleod
measure. the subcommittee hav-
ing eliminated all sections except
one covering fraudulent trans
actions" in real estate, and simu-
lated sales. In the beginning the
Mcleod bill proposed to set up
here real estate commission and
comprehensive machinery for the
licensing and regulation Of all
brokers and statesmen, estimated
at $500 altogether.
The full committee, following
the hearings last Wednesday,
could reach no agreement on the
bill and it went over until next
Wednesday.
The District appropriation bill.
which is the seventh to come from
the House Appropriations Commit
tee, was completed by the Sim
mons subcommittee yesterday. It
is to go before the full committee
