The bureau, however, said the rate Of growth of the population declined sharply between April l, 1880 and July 1, 1885. The annual average increase was 004,000, or little more than half the i,665, 900 average arl- nual gain in the io20-30 decade.

CROSS.CHECKING
OF TAX INCREASED
Social Security Returns Will Pro-
vide Means of Closer
Scrutiny,
6y the Associated Press.

6y the Associated Press.
Operation of recently enacted taxes,
Treasury officials said today, will pro-
vide important new machinery for
checking evasions of other levies.
Returns to be filed under the tax
provisions of the social security act
and the new undistributed profits tax.
they said, will give the Internal Reve-
nue. Bureau a vast fund of informa-
ton usable for cross-checking other
returns.
This method of unearthing evasions
already has been utilized to some ex-
tent by State tax agencies, which ac-
casionally check State income tax
return against the Federal one.
Officials said no effort can be made
to cross-check all returns for the &c.
100000 employees affected by the So
cial securit act, but that returns filed
: by employers would be valuable in
checking corporation and other large
income tax payments. Smaller income
tax returns are investigated on a
"sampling" basis, it was explained,
with a certain percentage chosen at
random.
Ofiicials declined to estimate how
much money would be put in the Fed
eral till through the cross s-checking
method. They said. however, it might
amount to considerable sum over
long periods.
The double-check system can be
used with present facilities at no addi-
tional expense.

MARITIME STRIKE
CHARGES HURLED
Opposing Forces Clash in
Debate Over Responsible
ity for New Crisis.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, December 29.-
Opposing forces in the Pacific Coast
maritime strike exchanged charges OF
responsibility today for what Assistant
Secretary Of Labor Edward r. Nc
Grady termed the first real crisis
in the 6l-day shipping tie-up.
McGrady said the new break in
peace negotiations was over the vital
issue Of control Of hiring. as 1t would
affect licensed ships officers.
Both sides admitted this was the
deadlocked issue, but the Ship Own
ers' Committee declared in q statement
by T. G. Plant, chairman, "the bomb
shell that blasted hopes of an early
peace" was a demand for settlement
with striking machinists at San Fran
cisco Bay shipyards.
Peace Hope Held Futile.
Ship owners and water front en-
ployes," Plants statement said. "have
no relations whatsoever with ma
chinists. The attempt to include them
in present negotiations as the price
for settlement of the maritime strike
makes any hope Of peace almost
futile"
He said representatives OF the Mas.
terS, Mates and PilOts-One Of the
seven striking maritime unions
evaded a direct answer on whether
walkoutS of rank-and-file seamen at
Eastern and Coast ports would hold
up settlement.
Statement Issued.
A statement from the Masters, Mates
and Pilots said:
THE operators broke of negotia-
tions very definitely by stating they
would not consider (union) preference
of employment for any of their
licensed officers. including the mari
time engineers, despite notifications
offered by the union"
The notifications we're reported to
include a proposal thai union men,
bers be given preference for third and
fourth mate positions. with employers
free to select officers OF higher rank.
Plant said his committee cannot
make it too plain that under no cir
cumstances can they agree to union
interference with their free selection
Of licensed officers for their ships"
