-Four Youths Are Charged
In Burninq Of Truck

Charges Of grand larceny growing
out of the alleged theft and subse-
quent burning Of a truck were placed
against two white and two colored
youths in Police Court today as the
aftermath of labor dispute.
Detectives Walter ID. Perry and
p. G. Wheeler said the truck was
taken from Robert Jones, a driver
for the z. r. Gibson Co., Arlington,
Va, at Fourth and E streets S.W.
Monday afternoon and driven to
South Capitol and P streets, where
it was fired after being drenched
with gasoline. The vehicle was
loaded with bricks.
The youths ordered held for grand
jury action under bonds of $1,000
each are Jesie Joseph Arnold, 20,
HOO block of Ninth street NV;
Jacob Poruke, 10, 100 block of Fifth
street NE; James Nesbit Brown, %,
colored, 1700 block of Thirteenth
street NV, and William Scarboro
Cherry. 81, colored, 140O block of
First street NV.
Defense Attorney John Keane said
they are member of the Teamsters'
Union, which has been on strike
about two weeks. All pleaded inno-
cent to the charges.

the House. Senator McCarran,
Democrat, of Nevada said he would
move to kill the income tax alto
gether.
Government employees" declared
Senator McCarran. "are overtaxed
and underpaid. 1t costs more to
live in Washington than in any city
in the country. I don't see why
these people, who come to WASH
ington to serve their Government,
should be made to bear such a tax.
Additional taxes here have been
found unnecessary already. I pro-
pose to fight this bill. III do all in
my power to kill it."
While it is expected generally on
the Hill that the Senate committee
will report out less drastic income
tax, with higher exemptions, the bill
still is certain to face a battle on the
floor. Amendments striking out the
income tax altogether and propos-
ing other forms of taxation or no
special levy at all are expected.
Committee members also antici-
pate determined protests against
the present bill from some of the
organizations and individual citi-
zens who will appear at the Senate
hearings.
The people will be given a full
opportunity to be heard" Chairman
King emphasized

loss that would come from the pro-
posal to abolish the unpopular
intangible personal property tax.
There is no sum included for the
business privileged levy, since un-
der the House revenue bill. as we'll
as present law, this levy would ex-
pire June 30.
The resulting revenue expectancy,
therefore, Is figured to be $34, $780,
600, or a few odd thousands one
way or another. To this is to be
added Federal payment of $5,O00,-
000-if the House wins in that por-
ton of the debate. The addition of
another $3,300.0OO, representing the
difference between a tax rate of
$1.50 and SITS, would bring the
general fund up to $43 100000.
Agents Of the Board of Trade
found there is small hope for any
serious cut in the SITS rate even
if the House and Senate conferees
agree on 1910 general fund de-
mand for compromise figure of
$42 100000 They figured that a tax
rate of at least ST 65 would be neces-
sary to approach a balanced budget.
They added: 1T is best to assume
that the SITS rate probably will
be continued in view of the desire
for small cushion above revenue
requirements and in view of the
extreme difficulty of making an ac-
curate estimate of the yield of the
income tax"
Evidences that the 1898 Federal
income yield from the District may
not approach the high level of s13,-
100000 reported in 1896 also were
considered. In this connection the
trade body agent said:
I'VE estimate roughly that on the
basis of 1896 Federal Statistics of
Income, the yield from the District,
If 1t had had an income tax law
similar to that of the State of New
York, would have been approximate
ly $4,700,000.
Because of the limited area in
this jurisdiction, it would appear
that at least 30 per cent OF the yield
must be written of in anticipation
Of it being taken in credits in other
jurisdictions. This would indicate,
then, that $4,000, 900 is probably the
maximum yield which could be Sc
cured on that basis. Offsetting the
fact that the House bill provides for
smaller exemptions than the New
York law is the acknowledged re-
duction in income during the cal
endar year 1888 from that in 1896.
We believe, therefore, that we are
justified in estimating the maximum
yield of the personal income tax at
$1,000, 900.
Our belief in this regard is
further bolstered by the fact that
Federal statistics of income for the
year 1896 showed that 77.27 per cent
Of the total income tax collections
in the District were paid by those
having incomes in excess of $4,000"

preferred an income tax to the pres
ent business privilege tax which
was scrapped by the House and
will so recommend to the commit
tee.
Senator King said he personally
favored an income tax, since he
was convinced that a sales tax
would be blocked in the Senate. He
added that he would urge including
the salaries of Congress members
and their stats in whatever income
tax finally is enacted. The House
exempted incomes on Capitol Hill.
Feels All Should Share.
The Utah Senator said he also
felt that Washington taxpayers
should be given credit for any taxes
paid in States. This exemption is
in the bill as sent to the Senate.
He pointed out that additional
taxes would be needed everywhere
so long as public spending continued
to mount.
I'VE are coming more and more
to regard the income tax as the
fairest form of taxation" he added
If there are to be taxes, every one
should share in them. A great many
States have an income tax. My
State taxes everybody"
Senator King said he hoped hear
ings could begin some time next
week. He is ready to call the COM
mittee together to set a time for
the hearings as soon as the Citizens
Committee notifies him when it de-
sires to be heard, he explained.
Expressing hope that this would be
soon, he pointed out that haste is
necessary if the bill is to avoid the
legislative jam of approaching ad-
journment.
The conference with District Of
f1cials, Senator King said, was at
his request with a view of working
out procedure rather than discussing
the merits of the tax bill. In addi-
ton to the Commissioners. those
present were Corporation Counsel
Elwood Seal, Assistant Corporation
Counsel Vernon West and District
Auditor Daniel j. Donovan.
At least one member of the Sen
ate District Committee will make a
stlf1 fight on the bill approved by

Hit by Two Groups,
Backed by Another
Peoples Lobby Sees
Hand Of Realty
Spectators In Bill

The income tax provisions of the
new District tax bill passed by the
House drew condemnation and ap-
proval today from civic and business
organizations.
The Peoples Lobby described the
bill as a shameful subterfuge" in a
statement made public by Executive
Secretary Benjamin C. Marsh.
Disapproval of the income tax
provisions also was voiced by the
Northern Seventh Street Business
mems Association, but an indorse-
ment came from the Washington
branch of American Association of
University Women.
The university women appealed
by letter to Senator King chairman
Of the Senate District Committee,
ito carry forward the work begun In
the House"
Favored Over Business Tax.
"Public-spirited residents of Wash
ington," the university women said
"feel deep satisfaction at the pros
pect Of a District revenue bill based
on ability to pay :. Some adjust
ments will need be made in the de-
tails, but we are confident that those
adjustments can be made without
detriment to the sound policy that
has at least been initiated.
I'm substituting a live and active
graduated income tax for business
tax based on the unsound principle
Of taxing gross receipts, the House
has taken an important step in
advance. We are looking hopefully
to the Senate to consolidate and
reinforce the gain that has been
made"
The letter was signed by Mrs.
Robert Olesen. president of the
Washington branch, and Mrs.
Eugene Callaghan, chairman of the
Legislative Department.
Realty Spectators Hit.
1T is obvious" said the statement
from the Peoples Lobby "the land
spectators in the District have
either shared their loot with some
members of the House effectively or
the members fell for folly in ignor-
ance, but ignorance isn't worth
$4,000 year"
"A moderate income tax for the
District is essential as a substitute
for the vicious trade-killing con-
sumption taxes" the statement said
in part, but did the House of Rep
resentatives overlook the fact that
there is half a billion dollars of
tax-exempt land values in the Dis
trict, most Of it owned by l per
cent of the population?"

u. Mr.. Hetzels complaint against
W. P. A. practices was coupled with
a report on the degree to which the
c. I, o. has fought for preservation
OF the agency before Congress.
In many places" he said, "it (the
A. F. L. has been the object of
special privileges and favors from
the w. P. A. officials There are
number of important cities where
the A. F. l.. has prevented the en-
ployment upon construction projects
Of the w. P. A. of any but its own
members. For example, reports from
New York City indicate extensive
discrimination against the C. I. O."
With the c. I. o. board expected
to authorize intensive membership
drives in the currently busy aircraft
and shipbuilding industries, a fur
ther report by Mr.. Hetzel was made
yesterday on conference between
Government officials and spokesmen
of both the Federation and the
c. I. o. on the labor problem in the
aircraft field.
Threat on Stable Operation.
Labor can only cooperate in the
recruitment of additional workers
for the aircraft industry" Mr..
Hetzel said the c. I. o. had in
formed the Government group, IF
1t is assured of the cooperation of
the Government and of employers
in guaranteeing the right of collec-
tive bargaining in plants working on
Government orders. The aircraft
industry has considerable history
of anti-labor activities Labor can
not be put into the position of help
ing provide workers for anti-union
employers.
Furthermore, long experience
has shown that there can be no as
surance of continued stable oper-
alton in plants which refuse to bar
gain collectively with employees.
These difficulties could easily be
overcome by stipulation in all Gov
ernment contracts that no contracts
should be awarded to firms which
are found to be violating the right
of their employees to collective bar
gaining"
Clear indication that the war
between the A. F. of L. and c. I. o.
10 to go on indefinitely and on ever
broadening fronts is found not only
in the organizing plans under dis
cussion by the c. I. O., but in the
request that its executive officers be
given authority to initiate damage
and INDUCTION suits against Feder-
alton unions in certain circum-
stances.
The requested authority is ex-
pected to be granted by the board.
Among other proposals before the
board today is a recommendation
by its Committee on Social Security
that 1t support the liberalization of
old-age pension laws to provide a
$50 per month pension to needy
persons above the age of go.

bers of the c. 1. O. United Automo-

stones and pop bottles today to
drive pickets of the rival U. A. w.
A. F. of L. away from the entrance
of the c. I. o. unions Office opposite
the gates of General Motors Fisher
Body plant No. l.
1t was the second violent outbreak
Of the day in the strike called by
the U. A. WA. F. of L. in General
Motors plants here. Three persons
were given hospital treatment this
morning after 200 men of the oppos-
ing unions engaged in hand-to-
hand fighting.
The noon clash occurred when two
Fisher plant employees attempted
to enter the U. A. VIC. I. o. head
quarters. About 80 members of the
U. A. WA. F. of L. blocked the
entrance, police said. The two men
were set upon. A moment later a
stone crashed through a window of
the U. A. VIC. I. o. Office, and in
reply barrage of pop bottles, stones
and other missiles poured from
second floor windows.
Police separated the fighters and
rescued two injured men.
This mornings fight also took
place near Fisher Body plant No. l.
The two unions of United Auto
Workers have halls adjacent to each
other at this point. Partisans hoot
at each other with ease here and
Flint police regard it as a hot spot.
Windows in the U. A. VIC. I. o.
hall were smashed.
Approximately rs policemen were
used in breaking up the morning
battle. The combatants used fists
and clubs. Police reported they
seized iron pipes, clubs and shot
gun in the C. I. o. Offices
At Saginaw, where police battled
Monday with pickets, all was quiet
today.
1t was the third successive day of
violence.
The strike was called last week by
the U. A. WA. F. L. headed by
Homer Martin in an effort to enforce
recognition as bargaining agent. 1t
has been fought from the beginning
by the U. A. VIC. l. o. So far near
normal production has been main
tanned at all General Motors plants.
Martin leaders charged yesterday
that C. I. o. members had become
"strike-breaking vigilantes" and
were performing free of charge" the
kind of work that formerly would
have cost the corporation hundreds
of thousands of dollars"
Police held five men on charges
OF malicious destruction of property
after the f1are-up this morning.
