Survey Contends Health of
575,000 Families in Four
Industries Menaced,
Bv the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The American Federation Of Labor
asserted in its monthly survey of busi-
ness yesterday that $4,000 workers
in four large industries had been re-
ceiving less than the minimum wage
necessary to support their families in
health.
The federation presented statistics
on the wages of employees in the Gig
arctic, paper box, automobile and
steel industries which showed that the
number receiving what it termed ito
days minimum health wage" Of 70
cents an hour comprised So per cent
of all workers in those industries.
The federation said it selected these
four industries because they were the
only ones with adequate records avail
able, but added that the same condi-
tions existed in other industries.
The survey, saying that dividend
payments reached the highest level
in history" in the current month,
added:
Wage increases reported in the
newspapers in November are a step in
the right direction. 1t is too early yet
to tell whether they are widespread
enough to have much effect on buy
ing power. Certainly those cited have
been far less in total amount than
the dividends declared in November.
ITO create capacity production liv-
ing level at today's prices would re-
quire an income of $3,623 for every
family in the United States.
Some skilled workers have already
reached this level. For the vast ma
jority we must count on steady upward
progress, striving first to lift the mini
mum health level"

A Treasury study Of overlapping
taxation revealed today that while the
Federal Government was raising more
than $4,000, 900, 900 from six sources
Of revenue last year, the States were
obtaining more than $1,000, 100000
from the same sources.
The Treasury report embraced a
study Of eight tax levieS, six of which
are duplicated by Federal impostS.
Both State and Federal revenue from
the six taxes-those on estates, indi-
vidual incomes, corporate incomes,
gasoline, liquor and tobacco-totaled
1891 300, 900 in 1885.
OF this aggregate, 1t was shown in
the report and by other Treasury sta
tistics, $2,271 100000 or about two
thirds, went to the Federal Govern
ment, and 81 ,049, 5000 to the States.
Revenue to the States from the en-
tire eight taxes, including those on
general sales and motor registrations,
was set at S1,654 100000 last year,
compared with 81 1862 SOC, 900 in 1880.
In both years gasoline taxes ac-
counted for a major portion of the
revenue with receipts from this source
reported at s589, zoe, 900 last year and
470,000,000 in 1890.
General sales taxes, which were in
effect in only two States and pro-
vided $1,200,000 in 1880, pumped
1924, 10000 into the treasures of IS
States last year.
Liquor levieS were exacted in only
three States in 1880 and returned
100000. Last year At States had
tapped this revenue source for total
Of $166,600,000.
With income from new sources in
ereasing. State receipts from estate
and inheritance taxes fell off from
$l83, 10000 in 1880 to $l00,80o. 900
last year, or IS per cent.
Individual income tax receipts
dropped from s135,100,0O0 in 1880 to
el00,000,000 in 1885, although the
number Of States imposing these levies
Increased from Is to 20.
Corporation income revenue de-
clined from s104. SOC, 900 to S56, 900, 900,
while the number Of States levying
such taxes jumped from 16 to %.
All States exacted motor registra-
tion taxes in both 1880 and 1885, and
revenues declined from $355, ZOO, 900
TO $320,500,0OO over the five-year
period.
The report did not show how

Await Reaction

Now that the surprise OF the rec.
ord democratic victory here has
passed, local political observers are
wondering Just what the effect OF
u ; triumph will be on the repub-
lican party here.
Republicans were still a little be-
wildered toda.' but there Is little
likelihood OF them giving up In
despair. They point out that the
fact that President Roosevelt had
the support OF most Of the voters
here was the cause OF the 1885 DEM
ocratic margin OF triumph here.
But they contend that this Is not
the normal democratic majority and
point 10 the spring election where
the democratic edge was about 900
as proof OF their statement. Al
though a large number Of new dem
oCratic voters have been made since
then, there seems little doubt that

republican nominee for governor,
polled 2,i0s votes here Tuesday as
compared 10 i,040 for Hugh Alcorn,

publicans will take Is appointment

the personal appeal OF Presioent
Roosevelt who Travelled through
here on his trip in this state was
the deciding factor that upset the

Rep. Colvin Smith, who Is pres"
ident Of the Young Democratic

crat representative to represent TINS
town in its history, 1t is believed.
Thomas Fitzpatrick, democratic

by Mr.. Fitzpatrick's triumph.
One thing that the residents OF
the town have o right to be proud
of. irrespective Of whether they are
democrat or republican, is the
magnificent turnout Of those entitl-
ed TO vote Tuesday. About % per

voters cast their ballots here. This
Is certainly a strong indication that
local residents do not take Lightly
