the Treasury, according to Assistant
Secretary John Sullivan, will dis
allow any payments made in ex-
cess of the amount permitted by
the regulations.
If Mr.. x is a professional man
a doctor or lawyer with his own
practicable will not be subject to
the S25 900 salary limit. Nor does
it apply to persons whose incomes
are derived from investments.
Between 10000 and $4,000 Ameri-
cans now are receiving salaries OF
more than $4,000 year, according
to Treasury estimates. The num-
Der of those with salaries of $67 900
or more is much less.
Treasury May Be Loser.
The $4,000 limit on net salaries
will reduce the Treasury's receipts
from the higher salary brackets.
The Treasury may, therefore, be the
loser. If corporations employing
-salaried executives enjoy
high degree of prosperity, it is pos
sible, experts say, that the money
diverted back to the corporations
by salary limitations will produce
more revenue for the Treasury
through the stiff excess profits rates
in the new revenue act, than it
would if it remained as part of
the taxable income of high salaried
employees.

compensation for personal services,
included In wages and salaries?
A. Yes. However, the emphasis is
on compensation for personal serv-
ices, and customary bonuses, as
sometimes are given at Christmas
time, need not be computed as part
of a salary for purposes OF wage
salary control.
Q. Can wages or salaries be de-
creased?
A. No decreases in wages or sal
aries for any particular work may
be made below the highest rate paid
for this work between January
and. September Is, 1912, without ap-
prevail by WLB.
@. On what basis can tie WLB
approve such decreases?
A. Only to correct gross inequities
and to aid in the effective prosecu-
ton of the war.
@. What are the penalties for vio-
lations?
A. If any wage or salary payment
is made in violation of the regula-
tons the entire amount of the pay
ment shall be disregarded by all
agencies of the Government in de-
termining the costs or expenses Of
any employer for the purpose of
any law or regulation. including the
Emergency Price Control Act of
1912, or any maximum price regula

Rise Dismissed by PUG

The Public Utili les Commission
yesterday dismissed the petition of
Edwin A. Glenn, president of the
United Taxicab Drivers, Inc, calling
for revision of the zone map now
in effect and asking for increased
rates.
Mr.. Glenn previously had been
given until October Is to file with
the PUG signed statements by the
drivers he represents in which they
would have guaranteed to pay a
proportionate share of the cost Of
a new hearing. The PUG order called
attention to the fact that no such
statements had been filed.
Mr.. Glenn had requested certain
changes in the zone and sub-zone
boundaries, increased charges for
waiting time and higher rates for
certain trips from one sub-zone to

tive order of october 3 unless the

Dor Board was given jurisdiction

ployes not represented by recog-
nized unions. The latter are ad-
justed by the Commissioner Of In
ternal Revenue.
The War Labor Board yester-
day issued the following answers
to some of the hundreds of ques-
lions asked about the adjustment
of wages and salaries under its
Jurisdiction:
@. Does the executive order freeze
wages and salaries?
A. No. But adjustments in wages
can be made after October 3, and
in salaries after October n only
if approved by the WLB.
@. Under what conditions will the
WLB approve increases?
A. To correct EMBELLISHMENTS
or inequalities, to eliminate sub
standards of living, to correct gross
ineouities. or to aid In the ell
fective prosecution of the war
@. Are all employers covered py

or less workers may make increases
without WLB approval.

plan of wage or salary increases
based on length of service.
a. Increased productivity under
piece work or incentive plans.
60 Operation of an apprentice or
trainee system.
@. Can an employer allow these
individual increases to raise his
costs and cause his prices to 60 up?
A. No. No employer will be al
lowed by the Government to use
these incseases either to get price
increase or to resist an otherwise
justifiable reduction in his price
ceiling.
@. What about piece rates? Sup
pose an employer set a piece rate
before or after October 3 which,
when tried out in practice, did not
give the employees the normal earn
ings prevailing in that plant for
that type of job. Can he adjust
this rate so as to yield the normal
and expected amount?
A. Yes.
Rate Applies to Newcomers.
@. The executive order of Octo-

mo increases in wage rates" unless
they are approved by the WLB. Can
an employer get around this by
hiring new worker at higher
wages than he is paying his present
employees?
A. No, he cannot hire a new
worker at more than the established
rate in the plant for the job.
@. What about new jobs or new
plants. where there are no estab-
lished wage rates?
A. In such case, the employer
cannot. without WLB approval, pay
more than the wage rates prevail
ing for similar jobs in the area.
! @. What about increases in wage
rates granted before october 3?
A. Unless the WLB later decides
| to review them, all wage increases
put into effect on or before October
3 do not need WLB approval. Such
increases must have been agreed
to in writing or formally communi-
Gated to the employees on or before
october 3. They must also have
been made applicable to work done
prior to October 3.

ment with the union in his PLAN

Final Games
The North Side sewed up the
pennant by winning the deciding
games of the 10 game schedule,
1913 and 1926. Bob Fisher lost
both decisions for the Alligators and
Charles Stonehill and Harry Klay
pitched the Polar Bears to victory
in the championship games. Bob
Which collected 3 doubles, Kent
Stonehill got for 6 in the hit de-
partment, and Hubert Basinger and
Dick Newlan each poled out home
runs in the first of the pivotal
clashes. Neil Schmidt socked a
terrific triple in the sixth inning
that was by far the longest hit of
the game, but fast fielding held him
at third. =
The final game was a farce where
fielding averages are concerned, but
there were plenty of extra-base
knocks that were bonafide. Evan
Herr got 5 for 6, including two
triples. Hubert Basinger drove out
two of the longest home runs of
the season, to run his total to six
in that department. Dick Newlan
got his fifth home run of the season
also in this, the final game. Bas-
niger led in all hitting departments
but triples for the season. He has
phenominal pace in all offensive
departments.
Second round games will continue
on Thursday with Harry Klay lead
ing his Northwestern Wildcats, and
Hubert Basinger managing the
Southeastern Blue Devils. Results
of this weeks play, which started
Tuesday night will be found in next
weeks column.
