Under the new schedule proposed
py the Treasury the same man would

Their he would compute the pro-

subject to surtaX. The s22 surtax
woulo be. added to the normal tax of

Wage Law Exemption
For Small Papers Hit
At Editors Farley
Official Of Agency Says
Plon Would Affect Half
Of Industry's Workers
B. the Associated Press.

b. the Associated Press.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, April a.
Exemption of newspapers Of less
than 5000 circulation from the wage
and hour law would deprive more
than half of the Nations newspaper
workers of the legislation's benefits,
Harold Jacobs, assistant administra-
tor of the Wage and Hour Division,
said today.
Mr.. Jacobs, in an address at the
| convention of the National Editorial
Association, said such an exemption
proposed by Senator Wiley, Repub-
licsn, of Wisconsin was narrow in
scope"
Judging from the Ayers Annual,
the Wiley amendment would de-
prive all benefits of the law from
employees in 8,453 newspapers, or
COS per cent of the total number
in the United States" he declared
6.83s Probably Exempt Now.
"Of this number, 985 are dailies,
| 80 are tri-weeklies. 28l are semi
! weeklies and 1857 are weeklies.
, There are 6,838 weeklies and semi
weeklies probably already eligible
4 for exemption. Between $500 and
5000 are one-man enterprises. Total
addition to the exempt papers would
be 1915"
Mr.. Jacobs said that weekly and
semi-weekly newspapers of less than
5000 circulation already are exempt
where the principal part OF their
circulation is in their home county.
He added that the laws effect on
newspapers had been overempha-
sized, and that increased operating
costs, rising cost of capital equip
ment and new competitive factors
thinned the newspaper field long
before the law was passed. He de-
clared that the number of weekly
papers in the country declined from
II 1902 in 1910 to 9552 in 1880.
