Income Tax Form To Be Simplified

WASHINGTON, Aug. = The Senate Finance Committee voted to eliminate big headache for small taxpayers by adopting a sin1plifed income-tax form.
 The new sinapified form con- sists of one page with a table showing the amount of tax that must be pad. It may be used by al persons earning $3,000 a year or less.
 The committee action to re- lieve small taxpayers of the com plicated job of filing tax returns was taken as the finance group continued its confederation of the new three and one half-billion dollar tax bill.
 The House version of the rev. enue measure has been amended by the Senate committee to low r tax exemptions and thereby add about 6,000,000 persons to the number affected by the fed eral income-tax law.

Rail Union Counsel
Cuts Wage Demands
Al New Hearings
$500. 600. 900 Increase
Is Urged Instead Of
Original 5000, 900, 900
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Charles M Hay of st. Louis, coun-
sci for 350,000 operating railroad
workers, contended today that the
Nations railroads were able to pay
wage increases aggregating s400,-
100000 year on the basis Of present
, incomes.
This figure, presented to the Presi-
dents Emergency Fact Finding
Board, was $500 100000 less than the
increases operating and non -operat-
ing brotherhoods had originally de-
manded.
Mr.. Hay appeared as the first wit
ness at new hearings on the railroad
disputes requested by President
Roosevelt The unions had rejected
wage increases of s270 100000 year
recommended by the board, and to-
days comment by Mr.. Hay was the
first official indication from the
brotherhoods that they might be
willing to accept compromise figure
below the s900,0O0000 originally re-
Quested.
Mr.. Hay said that, while he con-
sidered the boards recommendations
unfair and unjust, he frankly did
not expect the full 80 per cent in
crease which the operating brother
hoods had asked.
He added: Il had one of the
shocks of my life when I read the
boards recommendations"
These called for increases of 71a
per cent for the operating men and
approximately 1872 per cent for the
100000 incorporating union men,
bers. Operating unions are COM
posed of members of train crews,
while shop workers and the like are
In the incorporating groups.
Mr.. Hay said it was manifest from
the beginning that the board was
"going to take into consideration
what the railroad traffic would bear
in arriving at your conclusions"
After saying that the unions did
not consider this a sound basis for
an award, Mr.. Hay expressed the
view that the unions had presented
a case at long hearings in Chicago
which would Justify paving the men
$500, 1000, 900 year more on the
basis of ability to pay than they are
now receiving.
