Industrialists In
 Conference With
 Bankers Of State
State Chamber of Commerce Sponsors Meeting at Which 200 Were Expected to Be Present-Dis-
 Cussions Planned on Federal Payroll Taxes

With the date for the operation of the federal payroll taxes less than two weeks distant, more than 200 of the states banking and in dustrial leaders will gather today at the Hotel Bond in Hartford for a discussion of the social security laws. The meeting is held under the auspices of the Connecticut Cham Der of Commerce, which some time ago appointed a committee of 35, representing all sections of the state, to study the laws. Francis T. Phil lips, vice-president of R. F. Griggs O., of this city, and member of the committee, will attend the ses- sion today.
 Details of the law will be explain ed by Charles F. Coates, member of a Hartford accounting firm. Dr. Henry F. Shepherd, formerly as- sistant director of research in the United States treasury department and technical advisor to the Dis trict of Columbia on, drafting and regulation of unemployment insur- ance legislation will also speak. John F. Rolfe of the Hartford Times, will discuss the law and sug- gest legislation in Connecticut for unemployment insurance which will be necessary in order to participate in its benefits.
 Effective Jan. 1.
 Beginning January 1, all lines of business except agriculture must pay 1 per cent of its total payrolls as an excise tax, imposed by the social security act to provide fund for unemployment relief. Although a national board has been set up to administer the act, no specific rulings have yet been made by this body.
 The tax is not payable until aft- CT January 1, 1887, but business ex- ecutives are advised to set aside reserve each month equal to the amount of the tax to be paid so that there will be no question about ability to pay at the end of the year. The chief concern of manu- lecturers for the present is the set- ting up of adquate personal records. containing the age of each employe, the length of time he has been with

the company, nature of his job, rate of pay and the period of lay-off, if any.
 Proof Essential
 In cases of discharge, there should be clear proof that wages have been paid in full. In case that work is contracted for provision should be made in the contract that the contractor or sub-contractor as- sume the payment of the payroll tax for those employed by him. Other wise the firm for whom the con- tract is made will have to assume the tax.
 The state chamber of commerce, which is sponsoring the study in Connecticut, has made arrange ments for MT. Coates to address meetings of executives in several cities throughout the state and it is assumed that he will come to Wa terbury in the near future. Representing the local Chamber of Commerce at the meeting in Hartford will be Frank J. Green, secretary; David B. Meth, president, and Alfrd Meyerhans, auditor.

WASHINGTON - Members of

The justices have secretaries.

The New Deal ranks. The COM

idea of what goes on in the minds
of those nine old men--of the emo

SENATOR BYRNES OF SOUTH CARO-
LIMA IS STILL BEFOGGED

Senator Byrnes of South Carolina came
down from Washington to the Palmetto
State, made one speech, and rushed back
to Washington to assure the President that
South Carolina is as rampant for the pro-
posal to scrap the federal Constitution and
make Socialism permanent in this country
as that State was for secession in 1861.
Evidently, Senator Byrnes has no small
opinion of the responsiveness and "Intloo-
ence" of the political leadership OF South
Cardinals junior Senator.
Nevertheless and however, opinions
voiced by the South Carolina press indl-
cate that the populace down there has not
been unanimously and completely "infloo-
enced" and converted by the wisdom and
eloquence of Senator Byrnes.
The Columbia State, The Anderson Rec
ord, The Charleston News and Courier
and other South Carolina newspapers are
"agin'' the proposal to throw Democratic
principles and policy of hundred years
to the winds whilst embracing Roosevelt
tian Socialism as the party creed of the
future.
The State says that not one person, i'll
the presence of its editor, has approved
the proposal to scrap or make-over the
Constitution and that there is no enthusl-
asm whatever in that quarter for the Roose-
welt movement.
AS rule the newspapers know what is
going on in South Carolina-and so we
conclude that what ails Senator Byrnes is
that he is still enveloped in the fog in
which large majority of Congressman
and United States Senators have been CROP
ing for the past two years.
