WASHINGTON. Aug. 10 (UP).
Chairman Walter +. George CD
of Georgia disclosed that several
members of the Senate finance
committee have great interest in a
proposal 10 start collection of in
dividual income taxes on current
basis by "forgiving' 1871 taxes.
The proposal for current rather
than a ycar-behind collection of
individual income taxes has been
studied by the treasury for several
1t was proposed by Boards
ley Ruml. treasurer OF R. II. Macy
& Co, and chairman of the Fed
.eral Reserve Bank of New York.
THE RUML PLAN
The Ruml plan would apply in
come tax payments now being
made on 1911 income 10 the taxes
that fall due next March ID on
1912 income. The treasury thus
would simply forget about l94l
takes and next March taxpayers
would make a settlement with the
government on the difference be-
tween the taxes they had owed on
l194l income and the amount OF
taxes due on 1912 lpcome. At the
same time they would pay the first
on their 1913 income
taxes.
For all practical purposes Rumfs
plan would not lose the treasury
any money. Actually, over the life
time of the present generation of
Income taXpayers-say 80 years
the government would lose an
amount equivalent 10 194l taxes --
IS4,624, 900, 000-,sincc each 1871 in
come taxpayer would die without
having paid an income tax for the
forgiven year.

Baruch's figures showed a
crude rubber stockpile of 578, 900
tons on July /, estimated i'm
ports from then until Jan. /,
1914, would total only $4,000
tons, and balanced this against
essential demand of $4,000
tons - allowing nothing for
passenger car tires.
This left deficit of 211,OOO
tons to be met from the small
but growing synthetic rubber
program of Buna, Butyl, Neo-
prene and Thiokol. This pro-
gram aimed for an eventual out
put of 1000, 900 tons a year but
would take until l945.
Baruch recommended IS
mile-an-hour speed limit, strict
tire inspection and national
gasoline rationing, plus an in
creased synthetic rubber pro-
gram.
The speed limit and a ban on
retail sales of used tires went
into effect Oct. /; gasoline, or
mileage, rationing on a national
basis Dec. /; motorists were re-
quired to turn in all tires over
five per car by Dec. IL, and
submit the rest to inspection.
But the synthetic rubber
plants to fill the deficit still
were a worry this month.
William LETTERS, railroader
named rubber director by the
President, indicated the pro-
gram was behind schedule be-
cause strategic materials needed
for it were going to even more
vial war uses.

Union, Operators
in Controversy

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22-(41
John L. Lewis, chief of the
United Mine workers, today
blamed mine operators for the
dispute which solid fuels ad-
ministrator Ickes said was de-
laying extension of the six-day
week in the Eastern soft coal
fields.
Ickes, asserting the nation
needed an unprecedented
amount of coal to speed the win
ming of this war;" called upon
Lewis and Ezra Van Horn of
Cleveland, chairman of the op-
orators Appalachian joint con-
ference, to settle their contro-
versy and to act at the earliest
possible moment" to modify the
existing contractural provision
for the five-day. 35-hour week
in the industry.
Ickes, in identical letters to
each, noted yesterday that he
first made the request for ex-
tension of the work week Sept.
20 and declared that unless there
is unprecedented production of
coal 1.-The war will be prolonged
at the unnecessary cost Of hui
man lives and suffering"
Replying by letter, Lewis
charged the operators of COM
mercial mines in the Appalach-
ian field had banded together
to resist the further acceptance"
of the six-day week which he
said had been adopted by opera
tors Of steel company-owned
Captive mines and by CONNER
cial operators in six Western
and Northwestern states.

NEW YORK-No. 1scivilian
casualty Of the war year 1912
was the American motorist,
whose driving so mixed pleas
ure and business that the prob
lem of cutting down to essential
car use gave war administrators
their biggest headaches.
The year was a parade OF in
creasingly severe restrictions,
from the ban on sales of new
tires shortly after Pearl Harbor
to nationwide gasoline rationing
mileage rationing, to save rub
ber-early this month.
MAIN REASON-RUBBER
Rubber was the chief reason.
When the Japanese surged
through Malaga, overran Singa-
pore and spread out into the
Dutch East Indies, they seized
the sources of 90 per cent of the
rubber supplies of the United
States and her allies.
America was caught short and
the reason why still is being
argued. The plain fact was that
none had expected an invasion
of such speed.
Whatever the reason, motor
lists were warned early in the
year, at about the same time
the manufacture of automobiles
ceased, that the tires they had
would have to last for the dura-
ton.
BY early May important gov
eminent officials called the rub
Der situation 'perilous," and the
Truman Senate committee urged
national gasoline rationing and
said seizure of tires might be
essential later.
In June Undersecretary of
War Robert P. Patterson said
the army faced a shortage of
100000 tons of rubber in 1943.
But that same month it was pre-
dicted ways would be found to
keep 100000 of the nations
100000 cars rolling. A COL
lection of scrap rubber was or
dered by President Roosevelt.
Then in July the rubber in
dustry proposed to provide tires
for all, using reclaimed rubber
chiefly.
FINAL REPORT MADE
Displeased with the scrap col
lection, President Roosevelt in
August told elder statesman
Bernard Baruch to "get the
facts" about rubber.
A few weeks later Baruch,
who worked with technologists
Karl Compton and James B.
Conant, reported:
I'VE find the existing situation
to be so dangerous that unless
corrective measures are taken
Immediately this country will
face both military and civilian
collapse"
That settled much of the con-
troversy and spelled doom for

IDLENESS DUE TO PLANT
CHANGES INCREASES JOB
INSURANCE PAYMENTS

Washington, ID. G. ULNS).-Unem-
ployment insurance payments by the
II states and territories totaled $751;
OOOOOO i'm the first two months of 1912,
nearly one-fourth of the total amount
of benefits paid out during the entire
previous year, Federal Security Ad-
miniStrator Paul V. McNutt an.
nounccd. The high volume of pay
mentS, as compared with last ycar& Nc
Mutt said, reflects in part the unem-
ployment growing out of conversion of
industrial plants to war production.
In Michigan, where cessation Of
automobile manufacturing resulted in
an unusually high displacement OF
workers, payments for January and
February came to S11 100000, full
three fourthS of the total paid out in
this state last year. In Indiana, beneIt
payments for these months were 30 per
cent of the total paid out for 1911, and
in Wisconsin, benefit payments came to
43 per cent of last years total.
Benefit payments for February drop
ped slightly below the january high to
Il total of S39,9OO,0OO. Coupled with Il
decline in the number of claims from
the sharp rise recorded in January
this may Indicate McNutt said, that
unemployment due to plant conversions
may be slackening, at least tenn
porarily.

OLD EVIL RETURNING

A REPORT THAT child labor has virtually dou-
"A bled in New York state in the last year and
that there is similar trend throughout the nation
is bad news for friends Of progress The fight on
exploitation Of children in industry has gone on
for decades and marked gains have been made
Now, under the speclouS plea that war needs JUS
tify employment Of boys and girls in industry and
farming, child labor is staging comeback
That the increase of child labor in New York
came while adults were still seeking work, and
therefore was not justified by any emergency
war or otherwise, is pointed out by the State
Labor Department. The department directs atten-
tion to the fact that the rise called unprecedented
took place when large number of adults who
were joblCsS seeking unemployment lnsul-
ancc benefits. This would indicate that children
to some extent were being hired for jobs which
adults might have filled.
There is no excuse for a revival Of child labor,
long blot on American civilization. The welfare
of America demands that it be fought wherever
it makes It's appearance.

NO DEFERMENT WANTED

RECENILY Il report came out of Washington
that someone or group had asked for "A de-
fermcnt Of labor leaders under the Scective Serv-
ice Act.
From this point there appears sound reason
for such deferment on blanket basis.
BY the very nature Of democratic unionlSm
there are more than a sufficient number of capa-
ble intelligent union members able to replace any
person now in position Of leadership who will be
called by the Government for armed service.
This is no time for special classes with special
treatment. Labor does not expect special treat
ment If there are individuals in the movement
who expect it. then they ought to be set right i'm
Iaediatey by their fellow unlOnlStS.

CONGRESSIONAL BLAH

OPPONENTS OF the 4o-hour law in Congress,
~ seeking to bolster up their arguments, are re-
sorting to the Hitlerian tactic of constant repetl-
tion of an unfounded assertion. Hitler says that
even the biggest lie, if constantly repeated will
be believed SO the Congressional reactionaries
shout that the 4O-hour week is restrctly output,
but present no corroborative facts.
Government production chiefs, who surely
ought to know what is being done, fatty say the
4O-hour week is not hampering production. Don
aid NJ Nelson, War Production Board chief, busl-
ness executive and no trade union "agitator,' is
one of those who deny that the 4Ohour week is de-
laying production.
Now comes Albert p. McCullouch, head of a
big Boston machine and tool products company,
who says any modification of the present 4O-hou1
base week would retard production. He adds:
"Any attempt to reduce weekly earnings will
cause resentment among employees and output will
be seriously impaired. The nations welfare de-
mands that no change be made now
In the face of testimony Of this kind, from
practical industrialists, it takes lot of gall for
Congressional reactionaries to continue their cam
paign of blah against labor standards.

not only on the basis of the 1911 report but also
when one reviews the record Of recent years, the

7 $50 deaths, or 36-5 per cent of all fatalities
brought about by driving faults" the company

ming larger voice in wartime govern
ment, it is of interest to learn what
British labor has done in the same di-
rectiOn. Much has been written of
British labor's cooperation with the
government in preventing work stop
pages and in maintaining harmonious
labor relations. Not so much has been
told of it's participation in other war
activities.
British labOr's participation in the
prosecution of the war has taken vari-
Gus forms, it is pointed out by Harold
S. Roberts of the U. S. Bureau of
Labor Statistics British labor has Wig
orously supported, and, at the invita-
ton of the government, actively par
ticipated in variety of agencies,
boards and councils in order to utilize
effectively the existing labor supply,
Mr. Roberts says, in reviewing British
labor's war activities.
He goes on to recall that British
labor has largely curtailed its peace
time prerogatives by greatly limiting
its right to strike and by relaxing
long-established labor standards. 1t
unity in the labor movement by mini
MIXING existing friction and by sug-
gesting methods of alleviating diff
cultes arising from the transformation
of peacetime economy into war
economy.
In addition to this work of labor
| supply, Mr.. Roberts shows that trade
unionists take part in the work of a
large number of government depart
ply Ministry of Information, the En-
port Council, the Coal Production
Council and a number of other bodies.
A brief account of the relation of
the labor movement to the Ministry of
Food gives an illustration of the re
mentS.
Following a conference between the
General Council of the Trades Union
Congress and Neville Chamberlain
late Prime Minister, he suggested, in
1889, that the council appoint a com
mittee of five to advise him on matters
connected with the Food Ministry. The
suggestion was accepted and the com,
mittee named
| Meetings of this committee are held
at least once a month. Day-by-day as,
sociation is also maintained between
the Trades Union Congress and the
Ministry Problems of food supply and
| its ALLEGATION, control of food prices
and the problems of rationing, all mat
terS of vital interest to the workers
have been among the matters dis
| cllSSed.
Various advisory committees have
also been set up by the Ministry OF
Food to deal with such technical prob
lens as pricing, storing and distribu
ton. Labor nominated to these com
mittees trade uniOniStS concerned will
particular industries or commodities
The committees have done much to ai(
in maintaining supplies of eSsentia
food products.
The British unions have also grad
ually extended their representation OF
the local food control committees. The
duties of these committees are to en-
force locally the provisions rela ating tt
food control, such as rationing, pric,
control, etc.
