"Soak The Rich"
Tax Amendment
Lost In Senat e

WASHINGTON, April 6. CUP
The LaFollette "soak the rich
amendment to the tax. bill was de-
feated, AZ to SO, in the senate
yesterday when conservative Re-
publicans swung their support be-
hind the administration.
Ten Western Republicans, one
Farmer-Laborite and 25 Demo-
Gratis voted for the amendment,
which raised the normal income
tax rate from four to six per cent
and elevated surtaxes to II per
cent on excess net income over
100000.
The administration, which held
that the proposal would frigRten
taxable wealth into tax exempt
securities and retard recovery by
instilling fear into organized bust
ness, succeeded in keeping 30
Democrats in line. Seventeen Re-
publicans joined with colleagues
across the aisle in defeating. the
amendment.
The final vote was preceded by
hitter debate. Chairman Pat Har-
rison, Democrat, Mississippi, OF
the senate committee in charge
of the tax bill, in an eloquent ap-
peal for defeat of the LaFollette
proposal, warned that no nation
could prosper by taxing its citl-
zens excessively.

Assurance Bill
Passes In House
Attack OF political Rot.
tenness" In Home Loan
Appointments

WASHINGTON, April 6. (uPl
A bill guaranteeing interest and
principal of Home Loan mortgage
bonds was passed by the house
Yesterday, 337 to |.
Rep. Margin J. Kennedy, DEM
ocrat, New York. was the only
opponent.
The bill failed to carry an
amendment written into it by
Senator Geo w. Norris, Repub-
lican. Nebraska, specifying that
Home Loan Corporation employees
must be selected on basis of ct
ficiency rather than political at
filiation.
President Roosevelt approved
the Norris amendment and an at
tempt will be made to retain II
when the bill goes to conference
between the house and senate.
The measure provides that in

ICES the use of $200.000,000 fol

Rep. Everett M. Dirksen, Re.
publican, Illinois, led an attack
on the Democratic controlled
House banking and currency com
mittee which scrapped the Norris
amendment. He said there had
been political rottenness' in
Home Loan Corporation appoint
ments and charged that the bank
ing and currency committee was
motivated by patronage rea'
sons"
Kennedy explained his vote
against the bill by saying that ne
was opposed to the whole prlncl-
ple of the Home Owners Loan
corporation, and felt banks should
do the work instead of the gov
eminent.
Rep. T. Alan Goldsboro, Demo
crat, Maryland, defending the
banking and currency committee
for eliminating the Norris amend

"The amendment would have

Foulkes one of Wirt's bitter
est opponents in congress, was
pacified by House Democratic
Leader Joseph w. Byrns who
promised to let him have as
much time as he wanted on Mon
day to discuss Writ and the

Foulkes then issued a state
ment criticizing Silas H. Strawn,
Chicago attorney and former
president of the U. S. Chamber
of Commerce, for calling Writ
"just the type of man needed to
save this country from the in
tellectual iackasses in Washing
ton"
"The real jackasses," Foulkes
said, "are the defenders of de-
cadent economic system that
means restitution and misery for
millions while the few revel in
luxury. There is nothing wrong
with the thinking of the intelli-
gent, independent and courage
Gus thinkers in the administration
who grasp the need of definite
action to save the nation from
starvation.

dictionary does and advocates
good Americanism.' Let reaction

CHICAGO, April 6.-(UP).-
The Chicago Bar association to-
day awaited replies from two Chi
cago attorneys to charges pre-
ferred by Secretary of Interior
Ickes alleging a bIackmail plot
with the governorship of the Vir-
gin Islands as payment.
Ickes has asked that the attor-
neys, Lucius J. NJ. Malmin, for
mer federal judge of the Virgin
Islands, and C. w. Larsen, be dis
barred. The full text of the in
terror secretary's charges was
made public last night.
Malmin and Larsen are accused
of threatening the discredit Ickcs
and embarrass President Roose-
welt by public reflections OH
Ickes' conduct on an estate case.
Ickes provided the bar association
with quotations from letters which
he said proved the blackmailine
intentions of the accused men.
The bar association also made
public a categorical denial by
Malmin.
Ickes' charges included an i'm
plication that Malmin has only
recently acquired considerable
funds and influence and that
someone may be financing him
in his latest attack upon men,
Der of the administration"
Ickes' charges were preceded
with an account Of his conduct of
a case involving the settling of
an estate for DR.. Roland P. Saun-
ders, Chicago, in 1928. The es-
tate, that of Saunders brother,
Arthur, involved real estate in
other states. In his complaint
Ickes charged that about January,
1882, Larsen told him that the
Saunders were dissatisfied with
the way the estate had been ham
died.
Malmin, it was charged, bonn
barded President Roosevelt with
letters and even wrote the presi-
dent in care of Mrs. Roosevelt
and Mrs. Dali to the effect that
he had the power to suppress evil
dence of Ickes' alleged misdeeds
and that he wanted to be COVER
nor of the Virgin Islands.

STEEL MEN BATTLE
THE WAGNER BILL

WASHINGTON, April 6. (UP)
Consolidation of wire and radio
companies is likely if congress
permits, Walter M. Splawn. spe-
cial investigator, reported to the
House Interstate Commerce COM
mittee today.
WASHINGTON, April 6. (UP)
Spokesman for steel corporations
launched a mass attack on the
Wagner labor protection bill yes
terday, as Earl F. Reed, special
assistant attorney general re-
signed to represent the Weirton
Steel Co., against the department
of justice in a pending suit charg-
ing violation of the National Re-
covery Act.
Ernest F. Weir, president of
the defendant company, was
among those who attacked the
Wagner bill yesterday. The Weir
ton suit is based on the conten.
ton that Weir's company refused
to allow its employees to elect
representatives freely, as provid-
ed by the recovery act. The Wag-
ner bill is designed to strengthen
and clarity this section of the act.
Reed was appointed special as
sistant attorney general to con.
duct Pittsburgh election fraud
trials. He has been an attorney
for Weirton Steel for several
years, and his letter of resigna-
ton explained that he would need
all his time to prepare the defense
against the department of justice
suit.
Officials of all major steel COM
panies appeared at hearings yes
terday before the Senate labor
committee to add their protests to
those of other industrialists who
have attacked the Wagner bill.
Weir said he welcomed the
court proceedings in the Weirton
case "instead of being subjected
to the newspaper TRADES of SEN
ator Wagner and asserted that
80 per cent of his employees were
satisfied with their company
union, which would be outlawed
under the Wagner bill.
Jack Larkin, chairman of a
Weirton employees group, said
that Wagner, as chairman of the
national labor board. threatened
him with arrest if he refused to
participate in an election ordered
by the board.
, Arthur H. Young, vice-presi-
dent of U. S. Steel Corp, said
the Wagner bill would divide cap
ital and labor into "two warning
camps" and set SO steel unions to
fighting among themselves.
Bethlehem Steel was represent
ed by ]. M. Larkin, a vice-presl-
dent, who defended the employe
relationships in his organization
under a company union structure:
Charles R. Hook, president OF
the American Rolling Mill Co.,
presented employe affidavits to
support his contention that the
workers for his company were
satisfied.
Company unions are more effi'
cient than others, T. M. Girdler,
president of Republic Steel, tes-
titled.
Frank Purnell, president of
Youngstown Sheet & Tube, closed
the days testimony by urging
that industry be left to work out
a friendly relationship with labor
without outside interference.
