Il JAILED IN
RAID ON FOOD
WORKERS UNION
20 More Arrested on
Foltis Fischer
Picket Line

NEW YORK.-At 8 A, M yesterday
morning, IS policemen and detec-
tives with guns drown entered the Of
fee of the Food Workers Industrial
Union at w. 18 ST., arrested II
Union members, and rushed them to
Jail. There they were charged with
assault and kidnapping, in an at
tempt to frame them up.
This raid came in connection with
strike that was declared by the
Food Workers Industrial Union al
the Arrow Dairy Company at 116
Hudson Street.
The workers of this dairy had asked
the Food Workers Industrial Union
to strike the plant. When the COM
mittee of the Union arrived, the strike
was declared, and the workers came
back to the Union headquarters with
the committee to discuss the next
steps to be taken in the strike. The
police, coming by radio cars, patrols,
etc, arrested the committee of the
Union, kidnapped the workers, and
forced them to go back to work All
the strikers are members of the
Union.
Meanwhile, besides the 20 workers
arrested on the Foltis- Fischer picket
lines Saturday, 20 more were arrested
yesterday on the charges Of violating
an injunction, altho Federal Judge

TAX LOWER
INCOMES And
GASOLINE
Heaviest Burden to Be
Borne by Consumers

WASHINGTON, May %. The
House Ways and Means Committee
today decided to recommend to Con-
gress 4 to 6 per cent increase in
income taxes on all incomes Of $4,000
and less, and increases of 8 to 10 per
cent on incomes above $4,000. In adj
dition, they voted in favor of a tax
on gasoline of p of one cent per gal
lon. Also, they voted to make divi-
dend income liable to income taxes.
The income tax increases are ex-
pected to yield $46,00O,000, and the
gasoline tax 1872 100000 The heaviest
burdens of these taxes falls upon
the luoWer income sections of the
population. and the consumers. Gas
oline taxes are being collected in
many States. The proposed Federal
Tax will mean additional burdens
upon the small car owner, and also
Upon the consumer, since commercial
houses will pass the tax on to the
consumer.
Single people will pay $50 instead
Of $40 on incomes of $1,000 year.
On incomes of $1,000 a year, single
people will pay $3.50 and married
people So. Families having incomes
of 5000 will have to pay $126 a year
in taxes.
The total tax to be taken from the
small income group and the con-
sumner will be over s13o,00o,00O, al
most twice the amount expected from
dividend income
The recommendations of the House
Committee are, of course, not the
final form of the proposed tax meas
ures. They will probably be changed
in Congress. But, the capitalist
press is anticipating the changes,
which will fall on the lower sections
of the population, by emphasizing
that the tax question is secondary to
gettin g the whole public works-in-
dustry control bill passed.

Still Hoping To
Get Nets For The
Coast Fishermen
The Times News Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel

RALEIGH. Nov. S.-Although
efforts to secure funds with which
to replace fish nets destroyed in
the hurricane the latter part of
September have not yet been sue
cessful, Mrs. Thomas O'Berry,
state director of relief, is still
hoping to get funds for this pur-
pose, she said yesterday. An APP
plication for an allotment for this
purpose has been before the en-
Urgency relief administration in
Washington for some time and
she is hoping to have definite word
soon that the allotment has been
approved. Mrs. O'Berry has cor
tended from the beginning that
these nets should be replaced for
those fishermen who are unable to
replace them from their own
funds, since if they are provided
with nets they can again become
self-supporting. Otherwise they
will have to be carried along in
definitely on the relief lists.
One reason for the delay with
regard to the replacement of nets
has been the failure of the relief
administration and the Red Cross
to reach an agreement as to which
agency should provide for new
nets. The relief administration
has contended that the Red Cross
should provide the nets as part
of its rehabilitation program, but
so far the Red Cross has declined
to do this, despite the recommen-
dation of some of its workers
that the nets be provided. Mrs.
O'Berry does not believe that
there is much possibility now that
the Red Cross viii provide these
nets, although she is still hoping
that Red Cross headquarters in
Washington will experience u
change of heart and authorize the
replacement of the nets. Other
wise the only chance of getting
them will be through a special
grant from the relief administra-
ton.
The Red Cross has been provid-
ing funds for the purchase of ma
terials for the rebuilding of
houses destroyed by the hurricane
and in Carteret county has ex-
pended $4,000 for materials
while the relief administration has
expended $4,000 for relief labor
in the construction of these new
homes. The relief workers main
tain, however, that nets are Just
as essential to the coastal fisher
folk as are houses and that as a
result the Red Gross should also
make provision for providing
them with nets as well as houses.
