L00PH0LE PLACED
IN TAX MEASURE
Treasury Reveals Method by
Which Small Corporation May
Use Earnings for Expansion.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Treasury yesterday revealed
carefully planned and officially ap-
proved method by which the small
corporation may devote its earnings to
company expansion and still escape the
proposed high taxes on undistributed
profits.
Such q loophole was written delib-
erately into the House tax bill, a de-
partment spokesman said, in anticipa-
tion of Supreme Court ruling, since
handed down, holding that dividends of
common stock to a preferred stock
holder or Of preferred stock to holders
of common constitute taxable income.
Thus, the official continued, if the
''loophole" is retained in the final bill
q corporation may plough its earnings
back into the company, make such
stock dividend distributions against
them and let the tax burden fall upon
its shareholders.
In that way, he said. the corpora
ton could use its profits for its own
growth and development without pen
atty and the Government would still
receive its share of taxes collected
against those earnings.
Under the House bill and the New
Deal program, he said, a dividend Of
common stock to holders of common.
or of preferred stock to holders Of pre-
ferred, would not necessarily be re-
garded as a distribution of profits
within the meaning of the tax on earn
ings retained by the corporation, and
the latter could be taxed as though
no such distribution had been made.

JOB[ESS FIGURE
UNDER 100000
Labor Federation Estimates
Place Number of Unem-
pIoyed at 11,506, 900.
IL the Associated Press,

Is the Associated Press.
For the first time since 1881, the
number of unemployed today was be-
low 100000, according to American
Federation of Labor estimates.
President william Green attrib-
uted the improvement to "the striking
rise in production and in business
generally" which during April put
726, 900 jobless back to work.
The federation estimated 40,s45. 900
persons were at work and that the
number out of work had been reduced
from 1888, 900 at the end Of March
to II, sos 900.
Green expressed concern, however,
that Unemployment was not keeping
pace with business recovery and con-
cluded IF American business is to
justify itself as system which can
provide for the Nations needs We
must look forward to the time when
all those who want work will be able
to find jobs producing goods or serv-
ices"
Green attributed one reason for the
lag in unemployment as compared
with business activity to the length
ening of the work week, reporting
two and one-quarter hours have been
added in manufacturing industries
since last year and the trend in hours
still is upward"
Trade-union reports, he added. how
ever, showed that employment was
continuing to make upward strides in
May.

tors showed industrial activity was

LAST CALL VOICED
-
FORSA|LOR BOOKS
Merchant Marine Officer
Points to Dull Hours
Aboard Ships.

The last call for books for sailors
was sounded today by the American
Merchant Marine Library Association.
"a book you don't want might
bring pleasure to a thousand sea-
men," the association said. The
books are being received at the Public
Library, Eighth and K streets, and its
branches.
The volumes are put by the asso-
citation within the reach of sailors,
Coast Guardsmen and lighthouse
keepers. To demonstrate the value
sailors place on the books, the asso-
citation made public an essay by Will
son Starbuck, a merchant marine
officer:

those ashore watching her soon turn
their backs and go their way to other
pursuits.
Compares Life.
when night comes those who are
lucky to be ashore can seek the COM
pany of their fellow men, and in the
theater, movies or the many other
amusements accessible in our modern
civilization, forget the hard work
day in a restful change.
But how about the men aboard the
ship that just sailed? Once the
boonls are lowered, the matches bat
tened down and the vessel otherwise
secured for sea, the watches are set
and long, steady monotonous grind
is started. Watch and watch is the
usual custom, although some lines
allow their men to stand four and
eight.
Time Hangs Heavy.
"The real problem comes when the
men find themselves with four or
eight long hours of leisure on their
hands. Naturally, a great deal of 1t
Is spent in sleep, but one soon tires
of that.
For many years in our merchant
marine, the men were left to find
entertainment as best they might,
and it was not until Mrs. Henry
Howard conceived the idea of placing
libraries aboard the merchant vessels
of the United States that the men
who man our ships, officers as we'll as
those below the mast, had access to
really interesting books so that many
an hour at sea could be spent profit
ably and entertainingly."
