Prince Georges County farmers,

OF hiring workmen for the housing
project, while pointing out that regu-
lations do not require the hiring OF

! The rush for the Tugwelltown jobs.
It was disclosed today, began several
days ago with the issuance of an ex-
eeutive order permitting skilled labor
to work as much as l30 hours a
month. The order was issued by Harry
l. Hopkins, Federal relief admins
TRAITOR.
Pay Is Doubled.
Previous to its issuance skilled men
were limited to the number of hours
necessary, at prevailing wages, to earn
s72 a month. The increase In the
maximum hours allowed will thus more
than double the amount formerly re-
ceived by the workmen.
No change in working hours was
ordered for unSkilled men, who re-
ceive a maximum wage of s4950 for
ee to 140 hours work, depending on
whether subsistence and transporta-
ton is furnished.
e The modification order is understood
10 have resulted from a shortage OF
skilled labor in the metropolitan area.
The shortage was confirmed by John
g A.. Locher, secretary of the Building
Trades Council, who said. however,
that it was but temporary short
age"
Locher said he hoped the shortage
would not cause an importation of out
side labor, which, he said, would tend
to beat down the wage scales here.
500 Assigned to Jobs.
He could not be reached for a state
ment on the reported hiring of farm
,ers as carpenters at Tugwelltown.
Resettlement Administration au-
thorities stated that they had reQuisi-
toned some 1000 skilled workmen
within the past few days to speed up
construction on the project and bring
the work up to schedule.
Within the last week more than 500
carpenters, bricklayers, cement fin
ishers electricians, plumbers and other
tradesmen have been assigned to jobs
Bricklayers receive $3.50, with other
trades rates varying between that
figure and 10 cents.
In addition to the skilled men. a

to direct traffic and sightseers. They

Taxes

! had asked for a list of corporations
with million dollar incomes last year
which would have paid less taxes
under the new plan than they did on
the present fiat levy.
The House tax bill had encountered
so much hostility in the Senate COM
mittee that administration men put
forward two new plans.
The House bill, containing intri-
cate tax tables, would lay tax on
net income of corporations, ranging
up to 42l2 per cent and graduated ac-
cording to the percentage of income
withheld from distribution to stock
holders. The present corporate taxes.
including one ranging from 1917 per
cent to Is per cent on net income Of
corporations, would be repealed This
aim of the program, is advocates said,
was to raise more revenue and pro-
vide wider distribution of corporate
earnings.
Treasury Produces Plan.
The Treasury produced yesterday a
plan translatiing the House bills
schedules into simpler form. In brief,
1t would impose taxes up to so per
cent on that part of corporation In
come withheld from dividend distri-
button. There would be an exemp.
ton of $1,000 for corporations with in
comes of $4,000. Aside from that,
the tax would apply on a graduated
scale ranging from two-sevenths Of
the first IA per cent of net income un-
distributed to one-half of all over 45
per cent.
The other plan came from Chair
man Harrison, although he made plain
ne was not committed to it ard offered
it only in an attempt to get meet
ing of minds" 1t would lay a fiat
Is per cent tax on corporation income,
with SurtaxeS ranging from five to
As per cent if more than 80 per cent
OF a concerns income was withheld.
Harrison expressed the belief Presi-
dent Roosevelt would approve any
measure that would raise the S62O,-
100000 in permanent revenue and
$500, 100000 in temporary revenue hs
has requested. This was interpreted
as an indication Mr.. Roosevelt might
yield on his original proposal for
taxing undistributed corporate profits.
Due to Answer Byrd.
However, Morgenthau was expected
to present today Treasury figures IN
reply to Senator Byrd, Democrat Of
Virginia. The latter has said the
House bill would tighten the tax load
Of some large corporations and ex-
pressed concern lest this harm their
smaller competitors.
In three hours of testimony and
questioning that left him weary, Her.
man Ohphant, Treasury general coun-
sci, replied to senatorial criticisms of
the profits tax yesterday.
While Olipnant testified in the COM
mittee room Senator Vandenberg, Re-
publican, of Michigan shouted on the
Senate floor that the House tax bill
would require a taxpayer to "havs
a lawyer, a psychoanalyst and a
crystal gazer to keep him out of jail"
Earlier Jesse Jones, r. F. C. chair
man. recommended changes to en-
courage corporate outIays for plant
modernization and construction. Sec
retary Wallace urged new processing

HOUSE UNIT BARS
D. c. FUND BOOST
Conferees Refuse to Alter
Stand for $2,70O,OOO
Federal Share.

House conferees on the 1897 District
appropriation bill agreed today to re-
main adamant in their fight with SEN
ate conferees against an increase In
the Federal share of the expenses to-
ward the expenses of the District 10
SIS, 100000.
The decision, it is understood, was
reached after special hearing of the
House group at which L. H. Parker.
prominent tax expert of the Joint
Congressional Committee on Internal
Revenue Taxation, described how high
the residents of the District are taxed
IN comparison with other cities.
Parker. who recently prepared for
the Washington Board of Trade a
factual analysis of the tax burden Of
Washington and 43 other cities, is re-
ported TO have made a favorable"
impression on the House conferees.
His testimony, however, is understood
to have failed to sway the conferees
in favor Of higher Federal share
than 2700,000 as fixed in the House
approved bill.
AS a result, a deadlock over the
amount Of the Federal share appears
inevitable when the two conference
groups get together again.
Parker testified before the Senate
conferees last week and is understood
to have given testimony similar to
that given the House group.
A joint meeting of the House and
Senate conferees on the bill sched-
uled for today, has been postponed
After hearing the Parker report and
other data presented by local organi-
cations to show that Washington
bears a relatively heavy tax burden,
the Senate voted to restore the Fed
eral payment to the budget recon-
mendation Of s5,7O0.OOO, and all in
dications are that the Senate con-
ferees will not yield on this base
question.
Senate Backs d. c.
The taxation issue is believed 10
have been the main point debated
at the joint meeting of the conferees
last week, because after recess had
been taken, the Senate members went
into caucus with Parker and other
tax experts to obtain additional data
TO strengthen their stand in support
of the budget figure on the Federal
payment.
The Parker report showed that
Washington stands third among the
A largest cities in per capita city
and county tax burdens, leaving out
the factor of State tax, which does
not arise here. II showed also that,
in recent years. Washington's per
capita tax burden has increased BY
a greater percentage than in any Of
the other cities.
