members of Congress to a local
income tax, Speaker Bankhead
said:
"In my opinion there is no
justification for a local income
tax on congressman. We pay
taxes at home and we are here
only temporarily"
The compromise agreement to-
day was necessitated by the def.
mite opposition registered yester-
day by the House to the provision
subjecting members and> other
Federal employees to the income
tax and by the insistence of many
members that the real estate tax
here be boosted so as to be more
nearly in line with real estate
taxes in their respective home
cities.
All that it took to start the re-
bellion yesterday was the asser.
ton, made by Representative Mar.
tin Dies CD of Texas, before the
bill was called up, that the in
come tax provision would subject
members of the House to that tax.
From that point on there was no
chance of putting the measure
through.
Representative ward w.
Smith 3D. who represents the
Virginia counties adjoining Wash
ington, also sought to. stem the
bill before 1t wa called up by
making the accusation that the
bill was only reported to the
House Friday and that members
could not be expected to digest"
the contents Of the measure in so
short a time.
PalmisanO Takes Charge
Then Vincent L. Palmisano CD
of Maryland, acting District Com.
mittee chairman, who took over
the handling of the bill on the
floor, moved that the House re-
solve itself into committee Of the
whole to consider the measure.
On a roll call on that motion the
House voted 227 to Is against, the
members laughing and refusing to
take the matter seriously.
Later in the day, Representative
Kennedy again sought t. have the
House consider the bill, but again

MONROE, Mich, June IS GN.S0.
A steel workers organizing commit
tee group conferred here today
with Mayor Daniel A. Knaggs over
reestablishing the routed picket
lines at the Newton steel plant OF
the Republic Steel Corporation.
Charles Kiser, Detroit regional
director of the steel workers or
eanizing committee of the C. I. O..
declared his committee was in a
very receptive mood and we are
not going to be arbitrary in any
demands" He added:
mo doubt some plans can be
. worked out for peaceful picket
ing at the plant"
TROOPS IN READINESS
Governor Frank Murphy watched
the outcome of the conference
closely and troops were held in
readiness to move into Monroe
again on short notice if the con-
ference fails to settle the issue
"How far can John L. Lewis C..
I. o. 60 in picketing the Newton
plant?"
The issue Is paramount in en-
battled Monroe, scene OF riotlng
last Thursday, when several hun
dred "vigilantes" routed the union
picket line with tear gas and CLUBS,
ran C. o. men out Of town, and
rnonanad the Newton plant after
IL days idleness. -.
Kiser wants to ascertain from
Mayor Knaggs Just how far the
city of Monroe proposes to allow
the C, I. o. to 60 in its campaign
to organize the Newton plant, q
subsidiary Of the Republic Steel
Corporation. ~
It is reported Mayor Knaggs
thinks Is union pickets should be
plenty, that they must agree TO
act. peaceably at all times, and
that they must be residents OF
Monroe outsiders"
Monroe, meanwhile, was an
armed camp, although tension has
Iessened in the last "a hours. One
hundred State policemen are
based in and around Monroe and
about 500 special officers still are
under arms and guarding the
highway that lead to the New
ton plant. Mayor Knaggs would
not say when the special officers
would be demobilized.
Five hundred members OF the
Monroe Post Of the American
Legion are subject to call II fur
ther trouble is threatened.
Half Of Workers Back
Harry H. Holloway, vice presi-
dent and general manager OF the
Newton plant, said that half OF
the plant workers who recently
joined the S. w. o. c. and left
the mill on strike two weeks ago
had returned to their jobs.
The Monroe Evening News car
ried a paid advertisement which
said: The Newton Steel Com
pany has resumed operations. Reg
ular employees should report on
their usual shifts" This was in
terpreted as an invitation for all
the workers to return, and that all
would be forgiven.
