Wage-Hour Bill Report =
Nav Not Be Unanimous

RALEIGH, Feb. 3.-(R-Capital
observers said today there. was little
chance that the state wage-hour
commission, slated to report this
week, would unanimously favor a
legislative bill.
In response to a question, Labor
Commissioner Forrest H. Shuford
said he was "afraid' the report
would not be unanimous. The com.
mission probably will meet here
Wednesday or Thursday, instead of
Tuesday as scheduled.
Authoritative sources are of the
the opinion that Capus M. Waynick
of High Point, commissioner men,
ber, favors a bill calling for a max.
imum work week of 40 hours and
a minimum wage Of 25 cents, in
intrastate commerce. Shuford also
is understood to favor such a DILL,
but the majority Of the body be-
lieves those standards are too high,

Negro Women Gi1en
Sentences For Fight

The next time, perhaps, Flow
ers Hankins and Margaret Nc
Kov. both .colored, want to settle
their private grievances they're
likely to choose some place other
than a public street for their
engagement.
Friday night, according to tes-
tinony heard by Judge Alton A..
Lennon in recorders court yester-
day, the two women engaged in
an argument on Queen street. The
argument, purely vocal at first, re-
solved into fisticuffs, h n
knives. Both women were cut; and
each swore out a complaint charg-
ing the other with assault with
a deadly weapon.
Yesterday their differences were
aired before the court, and for
their trouble both women were
sentenced to serve 80 days at the
county farm.

TRAFFIC INCREASE
IS NOTED HERE
Police Chief Rourk Says
No Problems Have
Yet Arisen

Although automobile and pedes'
train traffic in Wilmington has
increased considerably from us
normal of go days ago, Police
Chief Joseph Rourk said YESTERDAY
that the increased activity was
occasioning no problem to MS oe-
partment. ;5
..rhus far" Chief Rourk said,
.the department has been able TO
meet the heavier traffic demands
without more than minor shit
ing of assignment hours, and l be-
1ieve we can continue to meet the
problem without adding more men
to the force"
In the opinion of the police
chief, the heaviest increase OF
traffic during the past 60 days
has been noted outside OF t n e
city limits, condition due to the
thousands of men travelling to and
from Holly Ridge and the arny's
great anti-aircraft firing center
now under construction.
County and state highways
leading to Holly Ridge are getting
the brunt of the traffic increase.
The increase is less noticeable in
the city proper, other than early
morning and a te afternoon
hours" Chief Rourk said.
Downtown traffic, t h e chief
opinioned, has been somewhat
slowed by the increased number

to retain his position as chairman of

order to prevent free-for-al fight
for the position.

Your Federal Income Tax
Normal Tax, Surtax, And
Defense Tax Rates

Income taxes for 1910 are paid
on net incomes and on surtax net
incomes. A study of the instruc-
tions that accompany the income
tax forms will show how to COM
pute the tax on such incomes. This
brief statement should serve to
| help to that end.
The Internal Revenue Code pro-
vides for only one normal tax rate,
and that is 4'percent of the net
income less the allowable personal
exemptions and credits for depend
ents, and an earned income credit
of 10 percent of the amount of the
earned net income but not in ex-
cess of 10 per cent of the amount
of the net income For instance,
if the net income is $4,000, no more
than $500 earned net income cred
it would be deductible from the
net income If the net income is
81, 900 or less, there is paid only
the normal tax rate of per cent.
The personal exemption and
credit for dependents are also al
lowable as credits against the net
income for the purpose of the sur
tax, the resulting net income be-
ing designated 'surtax net in
come"
The surtax is imposed on sur
tax net income in excess of $4,000.
The rates increase as the amount
of the surtax net income increase.
On surtax net income of 81, 600
or less there is no surtax. On
surtax net income in excess of S4,
900 and not in excess of $4,000,
the rate is 4 percent of such ex
cess. The surtax upon surtax
net income of $4,000 is $50, and
upon a surtax net income in ex-
cess of $4,000 and not in excess OF
So, 900 the rate is 6 percent of such
excess in addition to the $50, or
surtax of 5000 upor a surtax net
income of $4,000.
The defense tax, which the pre-
sent tax law imposes, is a tax OF
10 percent of the combined normal
tax and surtax.
The following example will show
how to compute the tax on a net
income of So, 500, all of which req
|resents earned net income, the
taxpayer being single and without
dependents:

WILLKIE TO TALK
WITH KING TODAY
American Kissed, Cheered and
Honored With Red Rose
Of Lancaster

MANCHESTER, England, Feo. 8.
Up Kissed, cheered and honored
with the Red Rose of Lancaster,
Wendell L. Willkie cut short his tour
of north England's bomb-scarred In
dustrial centers tonight to return to
London for a meeting tomorrow with
King George VI and Queen Eliza
beth.
Willkfe cancelled a scheduled visit
to Sheffield, famed steel manufac'
turing city, telegraphing the lord
mayor that he would be unable to ap-
pear because unfortunately my
early return to America to testify on
the lease-lend bill necessitates my
return to London Monday night"
He said he had been requested by
the British government "for safety's
sake" not to divulge the time OF his
departure for the United States.
The 1910 republican presidential
candidate appeared weary but in good
spirits and visibly affected by what
he had seen in an all-day tour of
Manchester's bombed areas - a tri'
umphal procession which found his
automobile constantly flanked by
shouting, cheering throngs.
II found the answer to the ques-
ton I set out to ask" he told news
men, sitting on a table top and swing
ing his legs.
1.-THE peoples spirit is magnificent.
IL don't believe any nation in the
world is more united in any cause
than the people of the British Isles y
Willkie received the Red Rose OF
Manchester''-a high honor springing
from the bloody 18th century Wars
of the Roses, in which the red rose
signified the house of Lancaster and
the white rose the house of York
before a large crowd at Town Hall.
Then, holding the rose in his hand
since it was too large to wear in
his buttonhole-he set out for the
busy river dockyards. At one point,
an old woman pressed through the
crowd to hand him a bottle of beer
and planted smacking kiss on his
cheek.
AS luncheon guest of Lord Derby
at a Manchester hotel, he met civic
and industrial leaders while univer-
sity students staged a demonstration
outside which blocked traffic for an
hour.
