union wage scales, construction
workers are in the no mans land
mentioned because of their irregular
working schedule. He said the high
wage scales here are a result of the
numerous large-scale Government
building jobs requiring high de-
gree of craftsmanship. The F. s. A

ably would not see fit to establish
another scale, predicated on resi-
Dental building demands, until there
is "a change of psychology" bringing
about a general understanding of
the problems of the construction in

In response to a question from the
floor as to why more regard could
not be given to reduction of space
per family, thereby shaving con-
struction costs, Mr. Ihlder said, "The

Bridges Predicts
West Coast Tieup
In Shipping Industry
Says Loading Will Holt
September 30 Unless
Employers Alter Stond
By the Associated Press.

ID. thc hSsoSldltQ fItSS.
SEATTLE, Aug 18-Harry Bridges,
West Coast c. l. O.-Longshoremans S
Union leader. predicts that unless
ship owners change their present
attitude coastwide shipping tieup
will start September 30.
Mr.. Bridges, here to confer with
union leaders, planned to return to
San Francisco and his deportation
hearing today.
Longshoremen hope to negotiate
new contract to replace one ex-
piring September 30, Mr.. Bridges
told reporters, but added I'VE have
positive statements from leaders of
the employers organizations that
unless we accept renewal of the pres
ent contract by September 30, with
its objectionable features, shipload-
ing will cease and longshoremen be
locked out"
He said employers turned down
the unions offer to continue under
the present contract after the ex-
piration date. THEY'RE going to
force us into lockout because they
know that's bad for us. We can't
effectively make demands for i'm
provements after they've locke us
out"
Salient features of the new con-
tract proposed by the longshoremen,
he said, would be an increase in
wages from the present 95 cents an
hour to s1.10, freedom from penal
ties for not crashing" demonstra-
tion picket lines such as those pro-
testing scrap iron loading for Japan,
and revision of the present system
of applying the six-hour day in the
industry.

of Municipal Court yesterday denied
motion for a new trial filed on the
grounds that the attorney for the

ethically in having an audience with
Judge Allkam on August 3, although
this audience was held on the day
following decision in the case.
Mr.. Dodson admitted that he sup
ported Judge Aukam's reappoint-
ment, but pointed out that he had
not apprised the judge of his action
until after the case had been de-
cided Mr. Dodson said Mr.. Adams

Plans 10 Close Up
Tax Law Loopho|es
Are Being Drafted
Experts Also Studying
Pleas for OverhuuIinq
Income Levy Structure
BY the Associated Press.

Dy the hSSOCihteu EIcoS.
Plans for sealing so-called loop
holes in the tax structure to raise an
additional $l00 900 900 to 5000 000,-
900 year are being drafted by
Treasury and Congressional tax ex-
perts.
These men. preparing suggestions
for study by a House Ways and
Means Subcommittee. also are
studying pleas for further modif-
cation Of business taxes and pro-
posals that the personal income tax
system be overhauled.
Acting Treasury Secretary John
w. Hanes yesterday invited leaders
in the fields of business. industry
agriculture, labor and law to CO.
operate in drafting a program to
improve tax laws and tax admin
istration.
He said he would arrange private
hearings before Treasury officials in
an effort to build a record of public
tax opinion" for presentation to the
House Committee.
Persons in touch with the COM
mittee said it would begin its study
November l and that its members
hoped to have comprehensive tax
bill ready for Congress in January
Congress usually hesitates to
tamper with the tax structure in
election years, but some legislators
believe it may be possible to revamp
the revenue system if no effort is
made to increase the aggregate tax
burden.
1t was reported authoritatively
that President Roosevelt would op-
pose any plans to curtail existing
revenues and would renew his sug-
gestion that Congress enact taxes to
finance any unbudgeted benefit
payments to farmers.
Three subjects to which revenue
experts are giving attention are the
community property system, the
family partnership and the multiple
trust.
In the community property States
California, Arizona, Texas, Louisi-
ana, Washington, Oklahoma, Idaho,
Nevada and New Mexico-is.come
belongs jointly to husband and wife.
BY dividing the income and each
paying taxes on half, a couple may
avoid high surtaxes.
Under the family partnership sys-
tenn, an income may be divided
among several persons, with each
paying taxes on the amount he re-
ceives. The multiple trust, system
enables an individual to set I'D sew
eral trusts in such a way that taxes
are paid on the income from each
rather than on the aggregate income
from all.
Another means of raising addi-
tlonal revenue, officials said, would
be modification of a provision per-
mltting oil, gas and similar COM
panies to deduct up to 271a per cent
from their gross income for deple-
ton of their resources.

LundIord-T Court
Favored in Afternoon

The Washington Housing Associa-

support is developing for the holding
of landlord-tenant court by Munich
pal Court in an afternoon instead of
a morning session.
The Endorsements have come from
the housing committee of the Vote
less District League of Women
Voters; William H. Savin, director
of the Family Service Association; :;
Seton Darr, president of the Dis
trict Bar Association, and the Dis
trict Bar Associations Committee on
Relations With Municipal Court.
Bar officials pointed out that a
change from $50 am. to 2 pm, as
recommended by the Housing Asso-
citation, would be a great incon-
venience because of the fact that
lawyers as a rule tried to get their
court cases handled in the morning
to have the afternoon for office
consultation and work. The COM
mittee, by majority vote, decided it
was the duty of the profession to
support the change as a matter of
public service.
