members of the committee. This
puts the President into the picture,
as his word would count a good
deal with the two New Deal Demo-
Gratis on the Smith committee.
So what is being witnessed is a
bit of behind-the-scenes negotiation
with view to getting changes in
the Wagner law which the admins
tration hopes will quiet the oppo-
sition throughout the country and
tend to remove the Wagner Act from
the campaign as political issue.
Mr.. Roosevelt's leadership is being
put to the test because he must
steer a positive course, recognizing
that the A. F. of L. wants amend
ments and a new labor board while
the G. I. o. wants to keep the pres
ent board and its inside track in
connection with the boards opera
tions.

Democratic presidential nomination,
as, for example, Texas, Tennessee
and New York.
Far from dropping the McNutt
campaign because Of the fact that
delegate states, favoring the renomi-
nation of President Roosevelt, are
being placed in the field in many
of the States, the McNutt managers
are combing the country for dele
gates to the Democratic National
Convention. They seek delegates
pledged to McNutt as second choice
to Roosevelt. In other words. the
McNutt managers are saying again
and again-"Paul McNutt will not
run if the President is a candidate,
but if he is not, and we believe the
President will not seek n third
term, then promise to vote for NC
Mutt"
Hope for Roosevelt Approval.
The McNutt managers claim they
are getting many promises Of Nc
Mutt delegates on this basis. And
they add, If the President is out of
the race, they and the delegates
pledged to McNutt as second choice
to the President, will 60 down the
line for just one candidate-Paul
McNutt. They will not be diverted
to any other candidate, even If he
has the backing of the President
himself. OF course, what the Nc
Mutt people hope is that the Presi-
dent will in the end give his ap-
proval to McNutt himself.
Yesterday Oscar Ewing of New
York, eastern manager of the Nc
Mutt campaign in 13 Eastern States,
began an intensive drive among
Democratic members of the House
on behalf of Mr. McNutt. Mr.. Ewing
is a member of the law firm which
was once headed by Chief Justice
Charles Evans Hughes and Of which
the Chief Justices son is now a
member He is also a native Hoosier
and ardently favorable to Mr.. Nc
Mutt for President.
He started his day here with
breakfast with the five Democratic
members of the House from Indiana
in the Speakers dining room in the
Capitol. Each was given a list Of
approximately SO Democratic men,
bers of the House to contact on be-
half Of the McNutt candidacy and
plans laid for a real drive. Mr..
Ewing then called on the Speaker
and later met Democrats from all
parts Of the Union in the Speakers
lobby, starting with Representatives
Emmet O'Neal Of Kentucky and Jed
johnson Of Oklahoma, both en-
thusiastic boosters for McNutt.
Reports Progress.
While he was here Mr.. Ewing
gave a detailed report of the Nc

State, City Employees
Face. u. S. Income Tax

Washington, D. C.-Following de-
cision of the Supreme Court, Congress
at it's last session ordered that the
Federal income tax shall be imposed
upon approximately 100000 State
and local Government officials and en-
ployes who had hitherto been exempt
from this form of taxation.
The Treasury Department declared
in statement that by March Is every
person in the United States who had
more than $1,000 or $4,000 net in
come, depending on whether he is
single or married, will have to file a
return on his 1889 income with the
single exception of Federal Judges
who were appointed prior to June 6,
of 1882. These Judges have been pro-
tected from the Federal income tax
up to now by constitutional ban on
reducing the compensation Of a judge
after his appointment.
Competent observers estimate that
only small portion of the 100000
State and local Government officials
and employees now subject to the in
come tax will materially increase the
Governments income from this source.
Their average annual salary is report
ed to be barely over the exemption
limit of $1,000.
The Treasury estimates that the
tax on all of the new recruits will not
be more than $16,OOO,0O0.

AFL Auto Workers
Win In Cleveland
Hobbing Machine Company
Employees Choose AFL
Athlete

Cleveland, D. The first NLRB
election between the A. F. of l..
United Automobile Workers of Amer
lea and the C. /. o. in this region
was held at the plant of the Cleve-
land Hobbing Machine Company on
January Is.
The final tabulation of the ballots
showed that out of 172 eligible to
vote, 1877 voted-the result being 63
votes for the A. F. l.. Auto Workers,
Local No. 631, so votes for the c. |. o.,
Local No. 217, 2 votes for no union,
and IL votes challenged.
At meeting between the represen-
tatives of the unions and NLRB Off
cials, eight Of the challenged votes
were declared valid by the NLRB Of
ficials. The examination of those bal
lots gave the Local No. 63l, of the
A. +. of l.. affiliate an additional six
votes, the c. /. o. two votes, making
the final count SO votes for the A. r.
of l.. Auto Workers Local No. 63l
So votes for the C. |. o. and two votes
for no union.
The result of this vote is significant
by the trend Of new feeling of the
workers in this area, in as much as
this has been claimed as a G. |. O.
stronghold. These results brought an
abrupt climax to the question OF
which of the two unions would repre-
sent the employees of the company as
sole bargaining agent.
In commenting upon the results OF
the election, Elmer Davis, director A
F.. of l.. United Automobile Workers
of America, said:
"The results Of the election sub
stantiate our statements of several
months ago that majority of the
employees desired to be represented
by Local No. 63l. We appeared be-
fore the NLRB showing membership
cards as proof to our claims. In view
of the fact that the C. |. o. never
produced such evidence, we have con-
tended that they were not justified in
causing negotiations for the welfare
of the employees to be held up for sew
eral months.
Immediate plans are being made
by Charles Walker, president, and
other officers Of Local No. 63l, and
myself to arrange for meeting with
the management of the company in
order that we may negotiate and com
plete the contract that had been held
up pending the results of this cleo
ton. Further than that we expect tc
re-establish the harmony that once
prevailed among the employees"

Sponge Shortage
To Hit Industry
Diseased Sponge Beds Are
Found All Along Coast
Line In Florida

Of undoubted interest to potters is
the report that sponges will be ex-
tremely hard to find in the near fu-
ture. A disease has hit the sponge
beds off the Florida coast. At first
thought to be etfecting only those beds
in shallow water, deep sea boats are
returning after nine-day trips with
less than 100 sponges. 1t is estimated
it will take four years to replensh the
beds.
The following editorial appeared in
the Tarpon Springs Leader some time
ago.
Sponge beds of the Gulf of Mexico
are slowly succumbing to the mys-
terious fungus disease that last spring
wiped out the beds of the Bahamas,
Cuba, and around Key West.
At that time spongers of Tarpon
Springs, and their crews of nearly a
hundred sponging vessels, felt secure
because the reports of devastated beds
and rotting sponge came only from
the shallow water sections, where the
sponge is taken from the seas bottom
by the use of glass bottomed buckets
and long handled hooks.
Then the disease slowly spread up
the Florida west coast, but only at
tacking the inshore beds. 1t was
thought by everyone that deep water
was the protection needed. The bu-
reau of fisheries sent DR.. Paul S.
Galstoff, it's oceanographer, here to in
vestigate. He made his report and
asks that funds for general survey
Of the sponge beds be made, as no
funds are available for this purpose.
This week deep sea spongers,
vessels with divers aboard who work
in waters Of 20 fathoms and more, re-
turned to port after trips to the mid
die range sponge banks, with very
light cargoes. Shippers who have
worked the banks for the past three
decades, say their divers worked in
water from so to l2O feet deep and
found many rotting spongs that fell
apart at the touch.
The disease, Capt. Cimos Angels, a
veteran skipper, says, appeared to
grow worse as the depth of water in
creased. DR.. Galstof told The Leader
two weeks ago that the principal
thing now is not what the mysterious
disease is, but how to protect the
healthy sponges from it's ravages.
The Bureau of Fisheries reports
that at the present time it has not
even a hundred dollars for this work
DR.. Galstof says the Bureau needs
funds to employ experts, charter boats
and supply scientific equipment and
materials which cannot be purchased
with WPA funds.
The request for funds, if approved
will go into the deficiency bill to be
presented to congress in January.
In the meantime there is nothing
that can be done, except to seek new
beds, which spongers declare there are
not, or sit patiently by and see an in.
dustry that brings more than a million
dollars worth of products from the
bottom Of the seas tie it's ships to the
wharves. AS the disease increases
packing houses will be forced to close
down and employees will be laid off
The loss to this city, with the raw
products and packing, the sponge
companies and all incidental worl
that ties in with the sponge industry
will amount to more than two million
dollars year.
