WPA Strike Believed
Near COLLAPSE

NEW YORK, Aug. 10 G.N.sJ.
In spite of indications of COM
plete collapse of the strike of
workers on WPA jobs, labor
union leaders promised today to
add at least 1000 men to the
walkout before nightfall.
Defying an edict that WPA
men who quit will be denied
relief, David Cassidy, executive
secretary of the Relief Workers
Organization c o m m i ee, an
nounced that As delegates repre-
senting $500 workers had voted
100 per cent to go on strike.
Face Hunger
George Meany, of the State
Federation of Labor, protesting
bitterly against police inter
ference in strike activities, said:
"The strike is going right
ahead. We're not going to be
intimidated by Tenement House
Commissioner LangdOn Post
" the police department. To-
day additional squads of dele.
gates will visit all WPA pro-
tects and extra picketS will
take the field. I'm as Opti-
mistic about the strike now as
was the day it started"
Their period of grace ended
The Washington times., 1935-08-13

all strikers who had not reported
for work before closing hours
last night faced a future of un.
certainty and no hope Of Federal
relief.
At the office of Gen. Hugh S.
johnson, WPA Administrator, 1t
was estimated only 656 men were
still out.
Expects Relief
Union leaders insisted the mum.
Der was larger but they refused
to make any estimate Of their
own.
Joseph P. Ryan, of the Inter.
national Longshoreman's Union,
soothing at the possibility Of dis
tress and starvation for the
strikers, said:
~ don't think either the Gov.
eminent or the city will stand
by and see any group Of people
starve. Why, they wouldn't
even let a foreigner starve.
The men will be taken care Of"
Meany declared:
Even IL the Government
forces some of the men back to
work, the program Is going to
be a colossal failure. It is not
backed by business or humanity.
The workers are working only
half-heartedly."

Worry Causes
Deaths Gain
LIN Congress-

Fear that more members Of
Congress may die If the tumultu.
ous session continues gripped both
Senate and House today.
, With q score Of members suffer
ing from heart trouble, which has
caused two deaths this session,
physicians warned of possible con.
sequences Of future bitter legis-
lative battles.
Representative William I. Siro-
vich CD of New York, widely
known physician and himself a
sufferer from heart trouble, dis
closed that he had warned at least
two members of the House that
they face possible death unless
they take care of themselves.
Copeland Warning
A warning against a long sum.
mer session was given some time
ago by Senator Royal Copeland
CD of New York, physician and
acknowledgement health authority.
Since that time Representative
Truax 3D. of Ohio has died and
several members have been
stricken. Representative Sirovich
said:
ut isn't work that kills hui
man beings; it is worry. 1t isn't
the revolutions Of a machine
that destroys it, but 1t is fric-
ton that gives rise to wear and
tear that destroys it.
80 1t is with members Of Con-
gress. They do work hard, they
have requests from people all
over the country, they are
threatened. They are burned
between love and duty, which
reacts on the emotions, and the
emotions rule and run the en-
doctrines that control all the
organs of the body. 1t particu-
larry registers on the heart
that is why so many members of
Congress die of cOrOnary arterial
trouble.
Representative Truax was
killed by worry. Fights over
legislation worried him"

MussoIini Ready to Meet
British With Concession
Copyright. 1885, by International
News SerYiceO

ROME, Aug. 13,-Turning the
diplomatic tables, Italy has de-
ViSed a plan of her own which she
will offer Great Britain in return
for the right Of way in East
Africa, International News Service
learned today as Premier Benito
MusSolini gave final instructions
to his delegates to the important
horsepower conference in Paris.
The first authoritative sum-
mary of Premier MuSsolini'S views
regarding this weeks Paris parley
was given exclusively to this cor
respondent today.
It revealed II Duce views the
Paris talks with great skepticism,
and that he regards his military
preparations as far more i'm.
portant than the diplomatic con.
versations called to halt them.
The offer to Britain -and
whether Britain takes it or leaves
it will not matter in II Duce'S
military plans-iS that Italy Is
ready and willing, in case of the
complete" solution of the ETH.
opian problem, to give Britain a
guarantee which she has tried un-
successfully to get from Ethiopia
for more than 80 years.
This is that the water Of Lake
Tsana, at the headwaterS of the
Nile. will not be diverted from
the river and thus from the fer
tile valleys below. where it is
necessary to the raising Of crops
in Egypt.
italy will have this offer ready,
and whether it is accepted or not,
1t will represent the only diplo-
matte concession Italy can make.
According to Premier MuSsolini's
view. the only achievement posi-
BILE at Paris would be acceptance
of this proposition.
Otherwise II Duce's view re.
mains unchanged and will remain
so despite any "dilatory" neso.
tiations which may be held to
alter it. This view is that Italy
has to settle vital" questions
with Ethiopia. and that only a

the subject by adrenalin injec-

Simkhovitch said if authorities

At the same time, DR.. George
Parrish, city health officer, re-
vealed he had received a plea from
Simkhovitch's mother, Mrs. Mary
Simkhovitch, asking he halt the
move in which the film writer
would be frozen to death and an
effort then made to revive him.
At the same time, william K.

he would not be revived until $685.

faithfully followed the design
sketched by the Chief Executive.
Four major departures from the
House bill were written into the
Senate measure finally. They in
cluded deletion Of House surtax
schedules beginning at $50, 900 and
substitution therefor Of Surtaxes
which do not operate on net in
comes below a million dollars; a
broadening of the graduated cor
poration tax written by the House,
imposition of an intercorporate
dividend tax Of approximately 2.25
per cent, and the estate taxes sub
stituted for Me House inheritance
schedules.
Finance committee members
made no claims that the new bill
was a revenue-raiser of any impor-
lance. Perspiring, coatless and
with open collars, they concluded
an all-day session with smiles and
assertions that she'll ride through
easy now-no trouble at all"
Insurgents Plan Fight
Senate insurgents planned to
renew their drive to make q real
revenueraising bill of the new
legislation, but leaders declared
such moves would get nowhere.
They expressed the view that the
insurgent bloc shot its bolt when
Senator LaFollette succeeded on
Saturday in putting income tax
schedules hitting the man making
more than $500 a year into the
bill, and opposition which ripped
these schedules out yesterday, said
leaders, would defeat drives on the
floor to put them in again.
Senator Harrison was frankly
optimistic over the new bill, say
ing:
II believe that the bill now
is greatly improved, and is more
in keeping with the Presidents
recommendations now"
"With the exception of sub
stitution of the estate tax in
place Of the suggested inheri.
lance tax, the bill now carries
out very largely the Presidents
suggestions"

HOOK MEETS
SUPPORT
ON HILL
Colleagues Declare
Front Costs All of
$4,000 Salary
It is the front" that costs.

It Is the front" that costs.
At least that is the impression
conveyed by colleagues of Repre-
sentative Frank E. Hook CD Of
Michigan.
Several whose relatives are on
relief, despite the $4,000 yearly
salary he draws as a member Of
Congress.
The revelation regarding Mr..
Hook is the subject for heated
discussion. Some are for him and
some are not. 1t seems to be all
in the point of view.
Few Allow Names
A few discuss the matter freely
but most of them with the ad.
monition that their names shall
not be used.
One colleague exclaimed with
laugh that he found his salary
adequate" but he had no state.
ment to make about Mr.. Hooks.
No sir. that's Mr.. Hooks business.
Another colleague opened up
enough to say that he not only
was able to live on his salary but
that he was paying off his debts
incurred during the depression to
the tune of $500 a month.
Need More Salary
Some Of the other members of
the House, however, find they
need more than the salary to meet
their expenses. One member
maintains three homes. He makes
frequent trips back and forth
from the Capitol and finds it nee
essary to augment his salary with
some of his private income.
Defending Representative Hook.
Representative John Lesinski CD
of Michigan, said:
"How can a Congressman
support relatives? What I
make here spend. 1 have to
keep a house in Detroit and
another here. What with cam
paign expenses and living, /
just break even."
Also holding to this view,
Representative Claude V. Parsons
CD of Illinois, said:
"A Congressman doesn't make
enough money to support many
relatives. Mr.. Hook, / presume,
has his own responsibilities and
I don't think he should be crit.
ciSed for his failure to help
Others"
Representative Frank Crowther
CD of New York, said tersely:
ut all depends on how he
lives and what he spends"

ESTATE TAXES
TO RAISE 100
MILLIONS
Experts See Revenue
Vital; To Replace
lnheritances

AnteRmat1OnaI news service
The new estate and gift taxes
imposed in the tax bill before the
Senate today were pictured by
Senate Finance Committee experts
as the most vital levies in the
measure, from a revenue-produc.
ing viewpoint.
Tax mathematician figure d
these two schedules would bring in
100 millions Of the estimated 269
millions a year yield on the bill.
Estate levies begin at 2 per cent
on estates valued at more than
$40, 900, and run to a maximum
of 10 per cent on net estates of so
millions and more. The protec-
tive gift tax runs three-fourths Of
the estate schedule.
Replace Inheritance Tax
Estate and gift taxes were
placed in the bill by the Senate
Finance Committee as a substitute
for the inheritance tax embraced
in the House bill. Finance COM
mittee members said the change
was made to avoid confusion The
estate and gift levies virtually alb
Sorb the inheritance tax carried
in the House bill.
Other major provisions Of the
bill before the Senate today were:
/. Surtax schedules beginning
with a so per cent levy on net in
come of 100000 to $500, 900,
and running upward thus: 81 per
cent for incomes between $780,
600 and 100000; IS per cent
for 100000 to $3,000,0 900; So per
cent for $4,000, 900 to $4,000, 900;
II per cent for $4,000, 900 to ST.

900 to $10,000,000, and IS per
cent for all income over $4,000.
600 annually.
Surtax Schedule Lower
The Senate surtax schedule was
calculated to return only about
100000 of revenue annually,
compared with House Surtax
schedules beginning with $4,000
incomes, designed to produce $45,-
10000 in yearly revenue.
e. Graduated corporation taxes
as follows:
Income. Tax rate.
Up to SIS. 600 annually. percent
SIS, 900 to 1000. ..........4 percent
100000 to 500, 00O.........15 percent
Over 100000 .....-......1S.5 percent
These were expected to yield
$50, 100000. They compared with
house rates of 1874 per cent on
corporation income up to $4,000
and 14l4 per cent on all income
above this figure, a schedule which
promised only $4,000, 900 Of annual
revenue.
IntercOrporation Dividends
3. A 2.25 per cent tax on inter
corporate dividends.
There was no intercorporate
dividend tax in the House bill.
This feature Of the Senate bill
was calculated to raise approx.
mately $4,000 900 yearly.
4. Capital stock and excess
profits taxes.
In the capital stock provisions,
the present 81 per $1,000 levy was
raised to, $3.50 excess profits
taxes in the bill provided a two
bracket levy of corporate profits
above 10 per cents per cent on
profits between 10 and IS per cent
and IL per cent on profits above
is per cent.
Experts estimated the yield
from these at IS million dollars.
The House bill made no change
in existing capital stock levies.
It's excess profits schedule ranged
from a S per cent tax on profits
between 8 and IL per cent to 20
per cent on profits above Is per
l;cent.
