ROOSEVELT SIGNS
WAGNER MEASURE
Must" Labor Bill Now
LaW-Court Tests Face
New Board.
BY ]. RUSSELL YOUNG.

Expressing the firm belief that the
provisions of the Wagner labor bill
should serve as an important step TO-
ward the achievement of just and
peaceful labor relations in industry
President Roosevelt today signed this
legislation, one of the must" measures
for this session of Congress.
1t was passed to diminish the causes
of labor disputes burdening or OBJ
structing interstate and foreign COM
merce by creating a national labor re-
/ lations board to guarantee labor tht
right to bargain collectively.
This legislation, which puts into
effect the greater part of the provi-
sions of the famous section IA of the
old N. r. A, was signed by the Presi-
! dent during the forenoon in his study
on the second floor of the White House
No ceremony marked the signing. He
used two pens and these he will present
later to Senator Wagner of New York
who sponsored the bill, and William
Green. president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor
The President expects to name
within the month the new board, re-
placing the present Labor Relations
Board which goes out Of existence, the
Associated Press reported.
Organization Stipulated.
The bill gives the labor organiza-
ton chosen by the majority of en-
ployes in a plant the right to speaE
for all the employees. and forbids EN-.
ployers from interfering with the self.
organization of employees.
The labor board may order employt
elections if there is a dispute ovel
what organization or individual repre-,
sents a majority of employees in Z
plant for collective bargaining
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, call'
the act "labor's Magma Charta." In.
oustry generally opposes it. and it:
enactment probably will result in s
long series of court tests of its con-
Stitutionality.
Steel, automobile and rubber manu-.
facturers already have let it be known
they intend to challenge the act IL
the courts if and when the new Labor
board hands down any decision!
against them.
Biddle Formally Resigns.
Coincidentally, Francis Biddle o
Philadelphia formally submitted hi
resignation to President Roosevelt a!
chairman of the present National La
Dor Relations Board, which goes ou
of existence at the end of this month
Because of personal reasons, Biddlt
informed the President that he coulc
not be considered for membership or
the new Labor Board. He plans to re-
turn to the practice of law
After the signing the President pre-
pared the following public statement
in which he expressed mis- confidence
in the purposes of the legislation ano
in which he voiced his hopefulness in
the good results which would follow:

SECURITY CHANGES
BACKED BY KING
Chairman to Support City
Heads in Amendments
to Social Measure.
BY ]. A. O'LEARY,

Many of the changes in the Dis
trict unemployment insurance bill
advocated by the Commissioners and
local organizations will be supported
by Chairman King of the Senate
District Committee, he announced
today
quite a number of amendments
should be made in the measure" the
Senator said, land / am inclined to
favor amending it substantially. or
in most cases. along the lines sug-
gested by the Commissioners"
The Utah Senator said he reached
this conclusion after devoting nearly
all day yesterday to a detailed study
of the unemployment plan as it came
from the House. He emphasized he
was expressing his personal views,
since the committee has not met
since hearings were held by the sub
committee composed of Senators
Copeland of New York and Capper
of Kansas.
1t is probable the District meeting
will be deferred until next week TO
await the decision of House and Sem
ate conferees on those features of the
national bill which affect proposed
local amendments.
Gradual Pay Roll Tax.
Senator King made known that he
will favor applying the employers
pay roll tax gradually, at l per cent
the first year, 2 per cent the second
year and per cent thereafter. The
House local bill imposed the 3 per
cent tax on District employers at the
start, a step which would go beyond
the national plan and the trend OF
State laws.
The Senator also sa,6 he would ap-
prove changing lie period OF unem-
ployment benefit payments from 70
weeks to Is weeks year, which is
taken as an indication that the Dis
trict government contribution 20 the
fund of sum equal TO l per cent OF
the employers pay ro'is, also may be
eliminated.
The Senate chairman also is IN favor
of giving employers credit by reduc-
ing the tax below 5 per cent when
they have a good record for keeping
men steadily at work, The House bill
provided only for an increase in the
tax above 3 per cent when employ
ment is not stabilized
Argument on Relief.
The District government tax to
supplement the employers tax was
adopted in the House on the argu-
ment that unemployment insurance
would tighten the District relief bur-
den. The Commissioners say. how
ever, that large number of those on
relief are persons whose occupations
would not ordinarily come under the
unemployment insurance law, such as
domestics. The unemployment inSur-
ance plan would not apply to persons
employing less than four employees.
The Commissioners also have asked
that the District plan be handled by
a local rather than Federal board.
In studying the technical details Of
the local social security bills yester-
day, Senator King called into con-
sultation Edwin E. White of the Com
mittee on Economic Security and one
of the advisers to the Senate Finance
Committee on the national bill.

PROPOSAL TO TAX
MIDDLE INCOMES
Broadening of LevieS on
Rich Considered to In

FOES CALL PROGRAM
"POLITICAL, GESTURE"
White House Conference Held to
Map Strategy to Enact Bill
This Session.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
New Deal circles are studying the
ACCESSIBILITY of broadening the tax
the-wealth program to reach into the
middle income brackets as well as
the $1,000, 000-a-year class.
Some legislators and experts are
known to feel that if the New Deal
taxes are levied only on the very
wealthiest persons the revenue would
not live up to expectations.
The disclosure came after White
House conference in which plans
were laid to enact the tax plan this
session, despite Republican demands
that the whole question 60 over to
a special session in the Fall.
Meanwhile, critics of the plan were
giving an inkling of the arguments
they will use when it comes to the
debate stage. Senator Metcalf. Re-
publican, of Rhode Island, in a Fourth
of July address, called on the country
to register a powerful objection to
the levying of confiscatory taxes in
order to gain the political support
of Socialists and radicals of every
stripe"
Hearings Begin Monday.
The American Liberty League called
the Presidents plan a transparent
political gesture"
Chairman Doughton, Democrat, of
North Carolina, Of the House Ways
and Means Committee, who attended
the White House conference, said
some legislators feel We can get
some additional revenue without in
justice to business"
He disclosed that the question of
extending tax revision to lower
brackets than previously indicated
had been discussed.
Doughton's committee will begin
hearings Monday. with Treasury ex-
perts on the stand. No specific tax
bill will be before the committee
Doughton said, we want to get full
information before framing a DILL. q"
President Roosevelt's tax message
mentioned no specific rates on in
heritances, individual incomes or gifts.
However Senator Harrison, Democrat,
Of Mississippi, has laid a schedule
before the Senate Finance Committee.
Leaves Medium Incomes Untouched.
This would not alter present rates
on incomes below 100000 a year
1t would apply to taxes ranging from
go per cent of $1,000,000 incomes to
80 per cent of all over $4,000 900.
The present rate on all incomes over
81 100000 is a fat SO per cent. The
inheritance taxes, new departure in
modern American tax procedure, would
range from per cent on $1,000 to
rs per cent on all over $4,000, 900.
Some legislators are known to feel
that such taxes would raise only a
comparatively small sum. Represen-
tative Samuel B. Hill, Democrat, of
Washington, chairman of a tax sub
committee of the Ways and Means
Committee, estimated that even if
81, 900, 900 incomes had been taxed 100
per cent last year the revenue would
not have been enough to count from
a financial standpoint"
Doughton expressed the opinion
that the tax program would be passed
in time for Congress to adjourn By
September l.
