VICTORY TAXES
 TO BE INVESTED
Employers Given Instruc. lions By Treasury Dept.
 on Wages Withheld

Employers withholding the 6 per cent Victory Tax from their eim- |ployes, may invest the money with. held in Series 0 tax notes, accord ing to a ruling by the U. s. Treas ury. The Victory tax went into effect January and under its terms all employees must collect per cent of all wages in excess of $624 af1- nually. Under the provisions of the revenue act this places huge sums in the hands of employers. The money represented by the Victory taxes withheld is payable to the U. s. Treasury quarterly.
 The Treasury ruling should stimu. late the sale of tax notes introduced last year. These tax notes are &C., ceptab!e at face value in payment of income taxes and now may be pur- chased in anticipation of quarterly Victory Tax settlements.
 U. 8. Treasury tax notes are faan- dled by the Victory fund commit tee which has members all over New England in practically every bank and investment house.
 Heretofore 1t had been thought that the sums withheld by employ CTS would prove burden to them, not only from the accounting work entailed but also as to the custody of the funds. This latter angle is now made easier by the Treasury ruling and employers can purchase the tax notes in advance as Vic- tory tax funds pile up and present them for payment of their liabil. itv

in wholesale lots, the tonnage mark up naturally has been much less than that normally taken for the smaller sales of anthracite" he said. Naturally, if the time comes this winter when shortage of anthracite stimulates a demand for bitunninous coal, the dealer must be able to meet the demand without loss."
 In case 8 dealer is situated in a community where another dealer of the same class has been selling bituminous coal to householders, the second dealers price will become the prevailing ceiling for the coH1l- lnunity, the regulation provides.
 Where soft coal is regularly sold for household consumption, its top price is about $4 per ton under aI1- thracite, Bowles pointed out. Soft coal is not affected by the Sturges order, he added.
