the tax for 1912 in addition to the
tax for 1943 if we do not require the
taxpayers to pay two years taxes in
one? In the Presidents
budget message we are requested to
raise an additional Sl6000,000 900.
Therefore your committee does not
see how we can afford to forgive
100000 100000 of 1912 taxes"
The proponents Of the Ruml plan
retort to this argument that, since
the taxpayers are not going to pay
two years taxes in one. the substi-
tuition of S13,00o.000 900 income tax
collection for 100000 900 collec-
ton would aid rather than hinder
the increased revenue proposed by
the President
The majority committee report
argued that under the Ruml plan
the taxpayer receives two years in
come and pays taxes only on one
years income. Your committee"
the report said. is impressed b.
the fact that cancellation of taxes
on 1912 incomes would constitute
gross violation of the principle of
ability to pay. The benefit would
be distributed in inverse ratio to
need - About 60 taxpayers with
million dollar incomes would each
receive benefit of at least s854.-
900. At one stroke the Ruml plan
would add to their wealth more
than they could save in six years If
they saved every cent of their in
come after taxes"
Table Is Submitted.
The committee included a table
showing the amount of taxes for
given according to net income for
a married person with no depend
ents before personal exemption.
Starting with net income of ST 300
before personal exemption the
amount of tax forgiven would be
S13; $500, S48; $1,000, sl40; $4,000.
s232; $4,000, 1924; $4,000. 1882:
$4,000. s746; $4,000. s2.152; s25 900.
1920; 100000, s64.060: $500 900.
S414,000; sl000,000, S854,00O, and
SIS 900 900, $4374.O0O.
Inc committee report said, too.
that forgiveness of the 1912 Income
tax would tend to impede the war
effort. 1T would be detrimental to
the morale Of the armed forces be-
cause it would imply gain rather
than sacrifice on the home front.
Further, it would stimulate the
forces making for imitation. by max
ing available more money for spend
ing.
The supporters of the Ruml plan,
however. believe that the great mass
of taxpayers are more interested in
getting on current basis of in
come tax payment than they are
in what may happen to COM
paratively very few wealthy per-
sons. Also, they contend that. if
there is any real forgiveness in the
adoption Of this plan, those with
small incomes will welcome that for
giveness more heartily than those
with big incomes.
Those who favor the Carlson bill
say they are just as opposed to
creating war rhillionaires as are its
opponents. They are intent on pre-
venting the escape from taxation of
large sums made in 1912 Already
the bill has been written SO as to
make it possible for the Government
to tax either the 1912 or l943 in
come. whichever is the higher.
Representative Dewey, Republican,
of Illinois, is preparing further
revision of the bill so as to catch
big increases in income from l94l
to 1912 if the same increases are
continued in l943.

Coal Miners Reject
Federal Intervention
Move in Wage Fight
Operators Plan to Go
Ahead Alone; Telegram
Sent to White House

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 2O.-The
United Mine Workers of America
tonight voted down proposal
made by the Southern Coal Pro-
ducers Association to submit
jointly and Immediately to the
Government disputes over wages
in the drafting Of a new work
agreement to replace that expir-
ing March 81.
Former Senator Edward r.
Burke of Nebraska, president of the
Southern operators and their
spokesman, told reporters the mine
owners would go ahead with their
plans to submit the case to the
Government independently of the
miners.
He added, however, that the
operators will continue to hold
Joint conferences with the UNIV
representatives.
John OLeary. vice president of
the UNIV, said the miners voted
down the proposal because We are
of the opinion that we can reach an
agreement without Government
interference.
Predicts Owners Will Yield.
With a smile. as Mr.. Burke
listened, Mr.. OLeary added in a
statement to neWsmen:
And We think these fellows are
going to come across
Mr.. Burke said it would be several
Gays before the operators deter
mined drought what governmental
agency they would ask intervention.
Northern and southern operators
and members Of the UNIV have been
meeting here for the last nine days
in an attempt to agree on a new
wage contract. The coal miners
have demanded. among other things,
an increase of 81 per day in wages
for 100000 workmen.
Mr.. Burke. in discussing the de-
cision to ask Government aid i'm
mediately. recalled that John L.
Lewis, UNIV president, in a letter
to the operators had suggested an
extension OF the existing contracts
to April 30 in the event no settle
ment was reached by March 81.
We agree with Mr.. Lewis that an
agreement can't be reached in time"
he added, and therefore we feel
that it is now time to ask for the
Government to step in"
Listing Government agencies
which might be appropriate to re-
view the case. Mr.. Burke added:
we know that the President OF
the United States exercises some
authority over such matters
Wire Sent to White House.
Earlier in the day Charles
ONeill, the chief spokesman for
the operators of the Northern Ap-
palachian conference, disclosed that
telegram had been sent to the
White House, but sad its contents
would have to be made public from
Washington.
The announcement advanced the
possibility that intervention already
had been sought by the operators.
The northern group reported no
progress had Been made toward a
contract agreement after another
meeting between operators and
miner representatives
Asked what governmental agency
might be requested to assume charge
of the dispute, spokesman for
the operators said it might be the
Labor Department, the War Labor
Board, the Economic Sterilization
Director, James F.. Byrnes, or Solid
Fuels Co-ordinator Ickes. He said
the Office of Price Administration
could be concerned because it fixes
the prices of fuels.
