To the senate for approval went
a house bill prohibiting payment of

as means of keeping living costs
down, retail subsidies were attacked
in the house as infiationary, in that

LIVING COSTS:

While the War Labor boards
Little Steel" formula restricted
wage increases to Is per cent over
the January, 1941, level living costs
have risen 234 per cent since then,
according to figures of the depart
ment Of labor.
Originally, WLB awards were
based on a Is per cent increase in
living costs from January, 1941, to
September, 1912. Since September,
1912, however, there has been an
other Sc per cent rise, with labor
demanding corresponding reduc-
ton in living costs or higher wages
to equalize the present condition.
Further, labor charged that the
government figures on living costs
were inaccurate, and the President
appointed a special committee to
look into the subject.

Vote for Higher Taxes

Also to the senate went a house
bill providing for 27z billion dollars
in additional taxes, far below the
101a billion dollars requested by
Treasury Secretary Henry Morgen-

Largest source of new revenue in
the bill would be obtained from
taxes on goods, such as beer, liquor,
jewelry, luggage, bulbs and cosmet-
les, and from services such as tele-
phones and telegraphs, amusements,
transportation and club dues.
Adjustments in individual and cor
porate income taxes would provide
substantial revenues, with approx
mately 900 million dollars being OBJ
tanned from additional 1evies on
business.
Local postal rates would be in
creased to three cents and charges
would be raised on money orders
and special deliveries.
