Swope Favors
incentive Taxes
AS Jobs Boom
Says He Doesn't Know
Profit-Shoring Is
Good Business
Ry the Associated Press.

Ry the Associated Press.
Gerard Swope, president of the
General Electric Co. told a Senate
committee today he believed the
Government must adopt some form
Of incentive taxation if it hoped to
induce industry to stabilize employ
ment through an annual wage.
The gray-haired industrial leader
testified he hoped" profit sharing
with employees was good business,
but added II don't know it,"
Mr.. Swope said his company had
paid out approximately 100000, ,00C
in shared profits tc 10000 employees
during the last % years.
Senator Herring, Democrat, ol
Iowa, chairman of a special Senate
profit sharing committee, asked Mr.
Swope if his company had expert.
enced any strikes or other labor
trouble.
Raps for Good Luck.
The scant audience at the hear
ing burst into laughter as Mr.. Swope
raped smartly with his knuckles
on the wooden desk in front of him
before replying:
Not yet"
Mr.. Swope agreed with Hanford
MacNider, former Minister tc
Canada. who had testified briefly
that industrial profit-sharing plans
should be geared to the rise and
fall of profits in order to make en-
ployes doubly conscious of their
company's condition.
Mr.. MacNider, president of the
Northwestern States Portland Ce-
ment Co. of Mason City, Iowa, told
the committee he was opposed to
incentive taxation and urged COM
plete repeal of the undivided profits
tax, asserting that such action would
provide surer incentive for busi-
ness expansion.
Trend Toward Lower Pay.
Mr.. MacNider said he did not be-
lieve in either incentive or punitive
taxation.
Well" interposed Senator Van
denberg. Republican, of Michigan
you get the punitive taxation
whether you believe in it or not"
Mr.. MacNider insisted, however,
that incentive taxation might de-
velop a trend among employers to-
ward lowering wages to a minimum
SO that they could charge, for tax
purposes, as large an amount as
possible toward profit-sharing.
Mr.. Swope said he thought the
undivided profits tax had been
wisely amended by Congress in
the last session, when little more
than the form of the tax was left
in the revised tax law.
This has operated to "earmark'
earnings for plant expansion, thus
providing more capital for business
and more jobs for labor, he said.
Plan Abandoned.
The General Electric executive
said his company had abandoned
a profit sharing plan established in
1916, under which employees with
five years service were paid an ad-
ditional 5 per cent of their earn
ings yearly, because the plan was
not geared to company profits.
1t established in 1884, he ex-
planned, a plan by which employees
are given 1919 per cent of the net
profits. Under this plan, he tes-
tilted, S5,700,0O0 was paid out in
1887, about 100000 in 1886 and
nothing in 1885. He said little
would be paid in 1898.

A note Of mystery came into the
Warning income tax fraud case in
District Court today when the Jury
was told by defense counsel that
Gordon L. r. Sadur, a tax expert,
who is on trial with the three
Warning brothers. would testify that
he held a private conference with
the late William H. Boyd. head of
the tax division of the Justice De-
partment.
Leo A. Rover. attorney for Mr..
Sadur said the defendant would
describe this conversation with Mr..
Boyd, which occurred at the De-
partment of Justice after the
Warning case was recommended for
prosecution by the Internal Revenue
Bureau and before it was sent to a
District grand jury for investigation.
Mr. Boyd hanged himself a few
weeks ago at his cottage at Piney
Point, Md.
Mr.. Rover made the first dis
closure of such a conference in his
opening statement to the jury. He
did not 60 into detail concerning
the conference, except to say that
Mr. Sadur would relate it in detail.
Defense to Offer Testimony.
Mr.. Rover told the jury Mr.. Boyd
and another official of the Depart
ment of Justice were present at this
conversation. Tax fraud cases al
ways are sent to the Department of
Justice before going to the United
States attorney in the jurisdiction
affected.
Mr.. Rover said the evidence would
show that Mr.. Sadur was innocent
of entering into any conspiracy to
defraud the Government of taxable
profits of the Warnings numbers
game. The attorney said it would
be proved that Mr.. Sadur was called
in by Emmitt Warning to straighten
out his difficulties and performed
his services honestly, faithfully and
as legitimate representative of a
taxpayer"
The first defense witness was
scheduled to take the stand this
afternoon.
Defense in the trial began today
with Mr.. Rover's opening statement.
Mr.. Rover said the evidence would
show that Mr.. Sadur did not meet
any of the Warnings until late in
1896, the last year included in the
alleged conspiracy to withhold in
come taxes from their numbers
business.
How much the three brothers.
Emmitt, Leo and Charles (Rags)-
spent on living expenses was high

days session.
With the defense ready to begin
its testimony, Justice BoItha j.

reopen its case to put in further
hypothetical evidence regarding the
amounts the brothers expended for
food, clothing, shelter and Incl
dentals.

For Air Cleaner

The appointment of Drye and

representatives of the Industrial
Products Co. in Ell Centro, was an
rounced this week by officials of

type, highly efficient Industrial Me-
chanical Liquid Spray air cleaner,
which. according to its inventor, C.
w. Hager, will dust-seal the motor
Of any passenger car, truck, tractor
or air compressor.
Tests made with the new air
cleaner at the University of Cali
fornia showed that it will keep
nearly a hundred percent of the
dust out of the engine, thus mater
tally adding to the life of the motor.
At full speed the cleaner shows an
efficiency of 998% and 996G at
idling speed. according to the tests.
Wise service superintendent and
owners who know that an ounce of
dust sucked into an engine can
cause unnecessary wear and ex-
pense, should investigate this new
method of air cleaning" Mr. Wilkie
declared. I'VE can show them how
that the daily average of new build
ings in September was 3, 81 above
August and 45.39s over a year ago.
