learned today. It was indicated
hn some quarters that many Of
the former air mail contract hold
arS would not bid under the tenn
porary set-up.
Meanwhile critics Of the new
measure assailed postal officials
for playing favoriteS in the Speci-
fications for the temporary bids.
Concerted moves are being made
In Congress to bring up legiSla-
ton which would obviate the
necessity for the temporary con-
tracts. Among these is the Kelly
bill, introduced in the House
Tuesday, which would return the
contracts to the carriers that had
them at the time Of cancellation.
FesS Raps Tactics
Senator FesS (R0, of Ohio, to-
day accused the Administration
Of wasting taxpayers money ito
smear the records Of honorable
eitizens."
The Senator was referring to
The Black committee for investi-
eating air mail contracts. The
Black committee should investi-
gate charges of favoritiSm in the
new air mail Set-up, the Senator
Oontended.
The Senator also asserted that
there IS more collusion now by air
line companies attempting to OBJ
Aain the new bids than there ever
vas in the history Of aviation.
Fish Scores FOuIOiS

Representative Hamilton Fish (RO
of New York demanded that Mai.
Gen. BENJAMIN D. Foulois, chief
of the Air Corps, be retired for
his "blunders" in connection with
the Army'S efforts to fly the mail.
The New Yorker also demanded
that Postmaster General James A.
Farley resign, either as Postmaster
General or as chairman Of the
Democratic National Committee.
Calling for bids on temporary
contracts for air mail service is a
colossal blunder and contemplates
the Scrapping of commercial air

Steel Men Attack Wagner Bill
Basis of Labor Board
Plan Is Vicious
Senate Told
By International News Service


Industrial leaders representing
the American Iron and Steel In
stitute, traditional foe Of organ
lied labor. appeared before the
Senate Labor Committee today to
oppose the Wagner labor board
bill.
Arthur H. Young, vice president
of the U. S. Steel Corporation, de-
clared:
81 find the bill in its entirety
both vicious and undesirable be-
cause of its fundamental philOs-
Ophy as to the certain and COM
plete clash of interest rs be-
tween employer and emplOye."
STRIFE ASSUMED
Leading the assault Of the steel
kings on the proposal for Federal
mediation Of industrial disputes,
Mr.. Young asserted:
"AIl the provisions Of the bin
assume q regimentatiOn Of each
side into q warning camp, and
intercourse between the two is
inferred to terms and impliCa"
tiOns of perpetual strife.
"ThiS is in utter disregard Of
progress toward complete CO.
operation and the abolition Of
small remaining areas Of con-
flict as between the worker and
his boss that have deStinctively
and uniquely characterized in
dustrial relations in the United
States"
Mr.. Young told the committee
that of 80 witnesses appearing in
behalf of the Wagner bill, 16 were
labor union officials; 10 were Gov
ernment officials ranging from q
Cabinet member and q U. s. Sena-
tor down to members Of the NRA
regional board" and six were col
lege professors.
Backs Company Unions
The Rockefeller plan Of COM
pany unions. previously assailed by
labor officials at the hearings, was
defended by Mr.. Young. He said:
"NO one who has ever dealt
with Mr.. Rockefeller could ever
question his absolute sincerity Of
purpose and act-yOu Senators
must know that"
Company union plans sponsored
by subsidiaries of the U. 8. Steel
Corporation were unheld by Mr..
Young. He denied that the work
erS in the steel plants were coerced
by their employers. He added:
"The substitute obviously
sought by this bill is the archaic
structure Of national and inter-
national trade unions"
Inquiry Proposed
Charles r. Hook, president Of
the American Rolling Mill Com
pany, at Middletown, Ohio, denied
charges of William Green, preSi-
dent of the American Federation
of Labor, that steel company
unions are dominated by the en-
ployerS. He said:

Mr.. Weir referred during his
testimony to the Federal suit
against his company fol
lowing a long dispute between the
company and NRA labor media
tors. He said:
eve welcome the opportunity
to have the matter brought be-
fore the court in q legal, orderly

The labor provisions Of the NRA
were aSsailed by Mr.. Hook as be-

SURTAX BOOST
F ORCED BY
INSURGENTS
La Toilette Pushes on With
Renewed Drive for Boost in
Inheritance, Gift LeVieS
BY International News Service

After forcing a $7,0O0,000 in
crease in surtaxes, the Progress.
sive bloc of the Senate today
renewed its drive for sharply
higher income, inheritance, and
gift taxes to furnish revenue
for the Governments recovery
program.
The 100000 increase came
from an Administration conces-
sion, increasing the surtax rates
in the brackets from $4,000 to
$4,000. This served to increase
all surtaxeS, since the lower bracket
taxes apply to all incomes in ex-
cess of $4,000.
House Minimum Raised
Senator La Toilette (R.) of Wis
consin sponsored an amendment
further increasing the proposed
surtaxes all the way up the line.
The committee concession raised
the Houses lowest Surtax, which
starts on $4,000 incomes. from 4
to 5 per cent.
Mr.. La Toilette proposed raising
this to 6 per cent. His rising
scale went as high as II per cent
on incomes in excess of $40, ,000,-
600, while the committees highest
rate was SO per cent at the same
bracket.
Wartime Level Hit
Mr.. La Toilette also proposed
raising the normal income tax
rate from 4 to 6 per cent, the war
time level. Administration leaders
objected to this increase.
He proposed higher scales Of
taxes on inheritanceS and gifts.
First, he would reduce the exemp-
tions from $4,000 to $25, 1000. His
inheritance scale would run from
one per cent on the first $35, 900
to go per cent on fortunes in excess
of $10,000,0O0 The committee
and House maximum was SO per
cent at the same bracket.
