New Deal F orces Being Marshalled to Present
 Different Views

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28. = The New Deal is marshalling legal forces to ward off a blow, which if it should gain the added strength of Supreme Court approval, would topple much of NRA's vast stluc- ture into the dust.
 The blow is the decision of Fed eral Judge J. P Yields, of Della ware, reinforced by ruling O. Federal Judge c. I. Dawson, at Louisville, Kentucky, who declared coal mining was an intrastate business and that such business was beyond the regulatory powers of Congress, therefore MIRA, as applied to coal, was unconstitu- tional.
 Foundation of New Deal
 Much of the New Deal is based on the idea that if business af- fects commerce between States, Congress can regulate it. This view also met an obstacle in Judge Yields flat statement that manu- facture was not subject to such regulations.
 Judge Yields declared uiiconsti- tutional and void Section "A of the National Recovery Act and dismiss ed the Governments suit for an injunction against the Wierton Steel Company. The case was gen. erally considered enc of the most important tests of the labor guar antee provisions of MIRA.

Income Taxpayers in Lo,oer Earnings Brackets Pay Less
 This Year; Others Pay More
By ALEXANDER R. GEORGE

1y AAGAh4NDGh h. NGOhs0E
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-With lower taxes on small incomes and higher levies on large incomes and on estates, the 1935 battle with income returns is getting into full swing throughout the country.
 Internal Revenue officials say that thousands of taxpayers un- familiar with the provisions of the Revenue Act passed by Con- gress last spring. are expressing surprise that their taxes are lower than they were a year ago. Many are under the impression that they have made errors in con- putting their tax.
 A major factor in the reduced levy on the small wage earner is the new allowance of 10 per cent credit on earned net income up to $14,000, with the provision that all income up to $3.0O0 be con- sidered as earned" Another size able reduction is brought about by the substitution of per cent normal rate on all incomes as com pared with the previous per cent for the first $4,000 and 8 per cent for all income above $4,- 900.
 Big Income Levy Increased
 Levies on the big incomes are increased by larger surtaxes in the higher brackets and by the imposition of the surtax on sur tax not incomes in excess of $4,0OO.
 Despite the surtax increase, the married taxpayer with net earned income up to and including S25, ,000 will pay less this year than he did in 1894.
 For example, the married man with no dependents and having net income of $3,000 will pay tax of $8 this year as compared, with $20 last year, or less than one-half as much It is computed 'n this way: A 10 per cent al- lowance for earned income amounts to $500, which deducted from $3,OOO leaves $2,7O0.
 Subtraction of the S2,500 ex- emption for married persons leaves taxable income of $200, and 4 per cent of that amounts to $8.
 The married man with no de- pendents and a net earned income of $5,e00 will pay tax of $80 as compared with s100 year ago. The men is the same status with an earned income of $25,000 pays s2,489 as compared with $2,520 in 1884.
 Persons with earned incomes above $25 ,000 will pay higher rate than they did last year although the increase is not relatively as large.
 The 10 per cent credit applies 'nly to earned incomes, no all owance being granted for reve- tues derived from investments f various kinds.

.HAL|BUT SEASON .OP EMS FRIDAY, BUT BOATS IDLE
Juneau Fishermen Claim Decent Living Cannot
 Be Made at Prices
SEATTLE, Feb. 28. = The haiibut price question is still unsettled and the fleet remains idle. Vessel owners are hold ing a meet this afternoon.

Although the calendar says to- day is February 28-the day be- fore the official opening of the halibut fishing season--the some 20-odd boats in Juneau's fishing fleet lie idle at their moorings along the waterfront.
 Ordinarily, their hardy shippers would have cast off lines on Mon- day and headed out for the banks, to begin their seasons work to- morrow. But not so this year.
 The fishermen claim that, under existing regulations. they cannot make a decent living from the prices now paid for the raw hail. but. They are asking a higher scale of prices from the buyers, and they do not intend to fish until those demands are met.
 Here's Story
 But there is story behind those demands.
 Time was, an Empire reporter who interviewed halibut men this week was told, that a good fish erman could earn around $2,000 year from his sales. In those days, the halibuters left port in March and didn't stop work until the middle of November During the winter they took much-earn- ed vacation, spending the latter weeks of this lay-off in repairing their crafts or, perhaps. in super vising the building Of new boats.
 But, this past season, the wa cation" has amounted to about six months and' there have been lit tie repairs made to boats-much less building of new ones. There hasn't been enough money paid in sale of halibut to warrant that. For, it seems, the prices paid have dropped corresponding with the re- duction in the time allowed the fish catching That say the hali- buters. is burning the candle at beth ends"
 Restrictions Hurt
 Recent restrictions placed by the Fisheries Commission, which gov erns such things, has placed a limit of catch in three areas in the North Pacific Ocean. One district : fContinued on Page Six.)
