Treasury's Proposal
For Pay-as-You-Go
Tax Expected Soon
Douehton Says Committee
Will Give PIun First
Place On Its Schedule

By the Associated Press.
Belief that the Treasury Depart
ment experts would have their rec
concentrations on the pay-as-you-
go income tax collection proposal
ready for presentation to the House
Ways and Means Committee early
this week was expressed yesterday
by Chairman Doughton.
In a letter to representative
TreadTay of Massachusetts,. the
committees ranking minority mem
Der, Mr.. Doughton said he "indi-
vidually" believed that considera-
ton of the pay-as-you-go plan
would have first consideration in
the order of the committees bust
ness.
His letter was in reply to one
from the committees Republican
members demanding immediate
public hearings on prospective tax
legislation, including the question
OF adopting some form of pay-as-
you-go collection of the personal
income tax"
Paul Issues Statement.
In a formal statement which he
said had been authorized by Sec
rotary Morgenthau, Randolph Paul,
general counsel of the Treasury.
said the department "favors early
enactment of legislation designed
to put the payment of income taxes
on a current or more nearly cur
rent basis"
He declared that the Treasury
had no desire to put off considera-
ton OF the pay-aS-you-go problem
until general tax legislation could
be formulated. but that "on the
contrary, it believes that many ad-
vantages will accrue from disposal
OF the pay-as-you-go matter as
soon as possible"
Would Refute Rumors.
"One of the advantages of such
consideration" he added would
be to refute most effectively the
entirely baseless rumors that have
been circulating that some form of
tax forgiveness would be adopted
which would make it unnecessary
for taxpayers to meet their March Is
1nstallmentS on tax liabilities for the
calendar year 1912. Chairman
George of the Senate Finance Com
mittee and Chairman Doughton of
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee have both stated that moth
ing of the sort is in contemplation"
Mr.. Paul also said that the Treas
ury was prepared ito present spe-
cific suggestions for 1943 tax legisla-
ton to give effect to the recommen-
dations contained in the Presidents
budget message whenever they may
be requested"
President Roosevelt told Congress
that he favored an additional COL
lection of s16,0oo,000 900 either in
new taxes or enforced savings to
help meet the cost of the war.

to grind with any official or agency.
We feel that Mr.. McNutt is con-
fronted with very complex prob
lem and it is our desire to assist him.
But, we do believe that after
months of operation there should be
some sign of plan.
McNutt Moves Cited.
We do not want to consider leg
lsiatlon until we have all of the
facts before us.
Mr.. McNutt came before us last
October and said national service
was inevitable and added he had
drafted and would submit to the
President bill whenever the White
House gave him the green light. He
refused to Ssomit to this commit
tee, upon its invitation, a copv of
THIS legislative draft, although it
was known that he had several
other drafts before him.
He has now several new drafts
ana he knows now, as he did last
octooer, 1t is impossible properly to
monlllze the people of this country
Without legislative direction. His
troubles today are due principally to
Inc lack Of power. He has said he
would resort to exclusive hirings
through the United States Employ
ment Service. He has said he in
Iended to break up labor boarding
now! Ii the employer did not fall
INTO line he would apply direct or
inolrect sanctions against him. He
plans no penalty against others.
And, what about the peopleo
Are they not entitled to know what
they are suppose to do in the war
program? National service legis-
latlon would give them a blueprint
as TO how they could give their best
efforts to hasten victory. That is
all they want to know and should
that be done the American people
would only be too willing to vol,ln-
teer tner services. National serv-
Ice does not mean compulsion. 1t
Is simply a democratic approach
through properly determined sta
tute, of utilizing the services of all
in the war effort.
Child Problem Discussed.
We will never turn out a per-
tect measure covering such a wide
scope. We know now, for example.
that some steps must be taken to
prevent wild children, as in Russia.
from running the streets Thie ie
a strange statement to make, but it
it true.
There are some housewives who
are taking war jobs just for the
monetary value or are attracted
by the bright lights of the night
SHIFTS, They tie the front door
around the necks of their children
and park them in nurseries. The
children are provided with spend
ing money and many are unman-
ageable. These women should be
| at home with their children and
some means should be provided to
make them stay at home. We have
received reports from California
about this practice and they are
alarming.
We must take some stand on the
length Of the work week. If there
is sufficient manpower for the 40
hour week, l am for the 4O-hour
week. If there is not enough then
we must fix the length of the work
week accordingly"

National WLB RaisesPayOf Hotel Labor
], 1,5OO Cincinnati A. F. of l.. Workers Increased 5
 Cents An Hour

WASHINGTON = The National War Labor Board has overruled an arbitrator's award giving negligible raises to lOw-paid workers and l5c an hour raises to the highest paid skilled workers, and gave a flat Sc an hour general increase to I,5OO Cincinnati hotel workers. They were represented by Is AFL unions.
 Major problem was ''the need for correcting substandards of living" al- though the record did not contain data showing individual earnings and the board had to depend on a survey by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, said Wayne L. Morse in writing the opin- ion. The survey showed that average earnings in 549o of IA different oc- equations, representing 81% of the employees, were less than Soc an hour
 Saying the board did not mean to imply that the Sc increase would eliminate sub-standard wages in the low paid brackets, Morse pointed out the unions could petition the regional boards for upward adjust ments where they could make a showing that they were below the minima of sound going rates. The question of whether carpenters, electricians, engineers and others should be granted more than the 5% increase was left to the regional board.

Union ExpeIs
 Stewards For
 Race Trouble
Two Officials Elected For Inciting Anti-Negro
 Strike In N. Y.

NEW YORK-The heavy hand of union discipline fell on the should CTS of two inciters of race hatred this week when Local I2l, United Gas Coke & Chemical Workers. ex- pelled two shop stewards for Iead- ing walkOut in protest against the hiring of Negro in their plant.
 The stewards, Frank Fox and Otto Chido, both of Brooklyn, were con- victed by the local membership of call- ing wallout in the Acme Baking Corp. plant recently when the man. agement refused to fire Segundo Cor chado, Negro elevator operator who had been transferred to production work.
 Work in the plant was resumed with Corchado on the job after two days of conferences among the union, the employees and management.
 National officers of the AFI. CIO and railroad brotherhood have been notified of the unions action, Local Pres. Charles Schroeder said.

Kaiser Case
 To Be Thrown Out by NLRB
Action Comes As Result Of Rider To Apropri-
 ations Measure

Washington, D. C.-The National Labor Relations Board has acted to remove from its docket a charge of unfair labor practices against the Kaiser Co.,, shipbui1ders, by setting a hearing Aug. 2l for the parties to show cause why the proceedings should not be dismissed.
 The American Federation of Labor succeeded in having adopted as an amendment to the Appropri- atiOns Act covering the use of funds by the National Labor Re- latiOns Board prohibition stating that mo part of the funds appropri- ated shall be used in any way in connection with a complaint case arising over an agreement be- tween management and labor which has been in existence for three months or longer without complaint being filed.'
 Since the Kaiser contract with the A.F.L. is several years old, the NLRB, in accordance with the rider, will be compelled to abandon its case.
 While all contracts between em- ployeS' organizations and employers will be valid if they have been in existence three months and no charges may be made against employers after that period, it was made clear by the NLRB that the prohibition in the law does not apply to company-dominated ] unions.

 Labor Leads 'Stablization
WING Director Fitzgerald
 Says State Is First To Achieve Goal

Connecticut is the first state to achieve overall labor stabilzation. with every industrial community now oper- ating under rules to control labor piracy, labor turnover, Acting State Manpower Director William !. Fitz- gerald stated today.
 "Connecticut has the distinction of being the first state to put its house completely in order in con- trolling practices that contribute to manpOwer shortages and lessened production. It is a tribute to the cooperative spirit of labor and management that satisfactory agree
 nents have now been reached in every section of the state. This
 houId result in an immediate re- Huction in labor turnover,' Mir. Fitzgerald said.
 "These labor stabilization agree ments do not freeze the worker in his job,'' Fitzgerald said, but they do prevent him from moving about Erresponsibly to the detriment of war production. They help the worker in hat they stimulate training within the plant and promote upgrading." Fitzgerald, citing the Bridgeport area as proof of what these agree fnents can do, said, after 30 days of operation under Stabilization agree hent labor turnover had been cut phore than 359o.
 Under these agreements, he said,
 he local community is protected
 rom in-migration of workers from
 ther states by assuring the full utilization of local labor, thus sim plifying both housing and trans- eortation problems.

 The Geelans made total of eleven trips to New York and two to Wash lngton, D. C., to confer with repre- sentatlves of the employers and the VILE.
 At the onset of the negotiations, the A.F.L. and the CLIO. unions worked independently of one an- other. It soon became apparent to the unions that both groups would have to work together to secure the maximum results, stated Sen. Ceelan. After both got together they were able to negotiate an accept able" contract.
