HOUSE

LABOR CLAUSE
Federal Amendment Loses
By The Narrow Vote
OF 52-49
REVENUE BILL is
STILL DEBATED

RALEIGH, March 10 (UP)-
The house of representatives vot-
ed down the federal child labor
amendment by the narrow mar
gin of SO to 49Etoday.
The house Of representa- cives
went back to work on the trou-
blesome revenue bill after refus-
ing to ratify the federal child
labor amendment.
The senate was tangled in de-
bate on reduction of automo-
bile license fees to a flat $500
schedule annually.
Foes of the general sales tax
were thrown for loss Yesterday
as the house of representatives
took up consideration of revenue
bill for 1857.
The first test of strength on
the sale stax came when an
amendment levying a 5 percent
tax on gross theater receipts was
defeated, 3S to &c. The amend
ment was offered by Represen-
tative Mcdonald, of Forsyth, CO.
author of the McDonald-Lump-
kin sales tax substitute.
The house adopted all of the
inheritance tax schedule, many
of the franchise tax provisions,
and the finance comittee's 3 per
cent tax on hotel rooms and pre-
pared meals. The last levy was
adopted without debate, although
a section placing a like tax on
boarding houses and tourist
homes was debated at length and
held in allegiance.
In presenting the bill, Repre-
sentative Cherry of CASTOR,
chairman of the house finance
committee, declared it would re-
turn to the state an estimated

F|RNAPPROVED

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-Federal
Judge Alfred c. Coke yesterday
tentatively approved the reorgan-
ization plan submitted under Sec
ton 77B of the bankruptcy act
for the Paramount Publix Cor.
poration. The court acted at the
end of a prolonged hearing and
granted an order to show cause,
returnable February IA at 2:15
p. M, why the plan should not be
affirmed.
AS tentatively approved the
plan shows slight departure from
its original form. For instance,
interest is to be paid on new
money loaned by the banks since
1882 and amounting to $4,000, 900
at 5 per cent per annum. On "old
money" amounting in principal
sums to $8,750,000, interest re-
mains at 6 per cent.
The indebtedness Of the Para
mount Publix Corporation amounts
to about $55,000,O00. Creditors
are to be paid if the plan is az
firmed by the issuance of half
the amount of approved indebted
ness in debenture bonds and half
in preferred stock. The common
stock issue of the new corporation
will be 100000 shares against
100000 shares in the old, the
preferred stock issue will amount
to about 100000 in par value.
The plan calls for the installa-
ton of not fewer than IL nor
more than 20 directors.
