AT UNFAIR TAX
COUNCIL VOTE BACKS DE-
MAND FOR FAIR PLAY
Ten-Cent Cigarettes Under I'm
fair Burden, Executive Coun-
Gil Declares. Joining Battle for
Equalization.

MIAMI, Fla.-QLNS)-Demand TO
adjustment OF the tax or cigarettes, Z
as to equalize the tax burden betwe
the l0-cent cigarettes and the l5-c
brands, was voiced by the A. F. Q
Executive Council here in adoptic
a resolution calling on Congress
remedial legislation.
The resolution recited the facts
the situation, as they have been stated
repeatedly by the Tobacco Workers
International Union and the Cigar Ma
kers' international Union and their
Joint Council. 1t set forth the unfair
burden placed upon the 10-cent Gig
a%rettes, most of which are union made,
in comparison with the enormous adj
vantage to the Big -Four brands, all
Of which are hostile to labor and none
OF which sell for less than IS cents.
1t was set forth that under present
tax laws the tax is the same on l0-cent
and l5-cent cigarettes, being six cents
on each package, regardless of selling
price.
The resolution called upon Congress
to enact legislation sponsored by the
Tobacco Workers, intended to equal
ize the tax so that the burden will fall
on the product with regard for the diff
ference in retail price.
This action places the entire legisla-
tive force of labor in Washington back
Of the campaign for fair taxation OF
cigarettes.
