BOhack Co. had received only part
Of its normal supply.
Frederick Benedict, president OF
the Retail Butchers Protective As
sociation, charged that OPA regu-
lations were unlawful, declaring in
a statement:
The people of the city of New
York are being starved not because
Of any scarcity Of meat but an arti-
fetal scarcity created by the stupid.
impractical regulations of the OPA
which makes it absolutely impossible
for the meat business to function.
The present extreme shortage
is caused by the fact that the So
called black market has dried up
because OF criminal prosecution.
There is no legitimate way in
which meat can be sold to the people
Of New York unless immediate
drastic reorganization of the OPA
regulations are instituted The
present regulations are unlawful
and have violated the express man
dates Of Congress" he declared.

Pay Limit Repeater
Passed by Senate,
Sent 10 President.
Overwhelming Approval
Viewed os Reducing
Likelihood of Veto
b. he Associated Press.

B} ne Associated Press.
The Senate passed and sent to
the White House today legisla-
ton lifting the ceiling on the ma
tional debt to $4,000, 900, 900 and
repeating President Roosevelt's S
executive order limiting salaries
to S25 900 after taxes.
Final legislative action came on
adoption of a conference report ac-
cepting the Senate's own version of
the repeater, approved overwhelm-
ingly yesterday by the House.
The legislative strategy III weld
ing two measures into one gave Mr..
Roosevelt this alternative:
l. Acceptance of the bill in its
entirety, despite his stiff notice to
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee several weeks ago that his
salary ceiling should be retained. or
2. Veto Of the measure in the face
Of a time limit danger, since the
present statutory debt limit Of $l25.- =
000,000000 is being approached
speedily and the Treasury has urged
swift action in boosting it to S2I0.-
900 900 900. A second war loan drive
Is set for April
Because Of the overwhelming vote
by which the salary feature of the
bill was approved, most Capitol Hill
observers expressed belief the Pres
ldent would accept it rather than
take a chance on having a veto
OveIridden.
Under the Senate plan, no ceiling
could be placed over wages and sal
aries below the highest level they
reached between January / and
September Is, 1912, the dates estab-
lished in the Stabilize ton Act. It
would preserve. however. the Pres

General Manager J. M. Willis
declared today a complete shut
down" threatened the huge Key
Highway ship repair yard of the
Bethlehem Steel Co. after great
numbers of workers walked out
in dispute over an independent
unions organization activity.
The Industrial Union of Marine
and Shipbuilding Workers of Amer
lea (CIO). which holds collec-
tive bargaining contract for the
yard, estimated the number at sew
eral thousand. Mr.. Willis said sew
eral hundred had left but workers
are still leaving and it is difficult at
this time to state how many have
quit work"
Mr.. Willis and union officials
agreed that the cause of the strike
was the company's refusal to dis
charge three members of the Weld
erS and Cutters Union of America
dndependent).
CIO Defends Stand.
The CIO union asserted that under
its contract members cannot en-
gage in organizing activity while on
duty and charged that the three
men in question were carrying on
such work while on their jobs.
Mr.. Willis termed the walkout
violation OF the agreement with the
CIO union, which he said specified
that a worker need not belong to
the IUMSWA and which promised
there would be no work stoppage,
showdown or sit-down"
The open shop was ordered by the
National Labor Relations Board, the
general manager added.
Termed Unjustified.
Mr.. Willis also said that If the
company acceded to the CIO unions
demand 1t would violate the Wagner
Labor Relations Act, adding.
In view of the pledge of interna-
tional officials Of the union to the
President" and the provisions of
the contract, there can be no justi-
fication for this work stoppage."
Crane operators at the adjacent
Bethlehem Fairfield Shipyard, an
other subsidiary, struck twice in two
days two weeks ago In protest of
some women requirements, an act
which the cranemen declared was
bar to upgrading Of wages. That
walkout was settled when the COM
pany withdrew the women replace

TAX MEASURES debated in Radio

Ry the Associated Press.
Chairman Doughton of the
House Ways and Means Commit
tee opened debate on pay-as-
you-go tax legislation today with
a denunciation of the Ruml
skip-a-year plan as a tax
hereSy"-a proposition immoral
and unsound."
1t is to sound tax policy what
inf1delity is to true Bible religion,
he shouted. 1T would bankrupt any
business concern. No nation. state
or other taxing jurisdiction has ever
adopted such a system. Our
soldiers are not requesting forgive
ness OF a years duty. In fact, many
Of them are called upon to give an
entire lifetime in one moment of
duty. Is this any time to forgive
years tax liability?"
Representative Knutson, Republi-
can, of Minnesota. leader of Re
publican support behind the Ruml
plan, prepared to answer Mr.. Dough-
ton by declaring modification of
that plan. embraced in bill by
Representative Carlson, Republican,
OF Kansas, was progressive and
forward looking; that it provided
the only fair and practical" means
of putting the Nations $4,000. 900
income taxpayers on pay-as-you-
go basis, and that there is only
one thing wrong with the Ruml plan
the Treasury didn't think of it
first"
Hits Experiments.
Leading the Democratic opposi-
ton to the Ruml plan, Mr.. Doughton
declared:
4 feel that this is no time to ex-
pertinent with will-o'- the e-wisp or
chimerical methods which are con-
ceiyed and brought forth for selfish
or political reasons rather than
patriotic motives. In my opinion,
If the selfish and political considera-
tons were eliminated from the Ruml
plan it would never get to bat, much
less to first base. ."
Mr.. Doughton declared the Ruml
plan would:
/. Bestow the greatest benefit to
those most able to pay taxes.
2. Will result in a loss to the Gov
ernment Of almost 100000, 900,
and
3. Cause a shift in the tax burden
to the lower income groups.
He defended the collection bill
presented to the House which, pro-
viding no abatement, would make
pay-as-you-go optional with any tax
payer who elected to "double-up" to
discharge the 1912 liability COM
pletely and begin Immediately the
payment Of l943 taxes.
Knuts0n Issues Statement
Mr.. Knutson distributed advance
excerpts from his speech in reply
TO Mr.. Doughton. declaring the COM
mittee bill would put small income
taxpayers in Strait jacket" anC
added:
Inc carlson Dill prepares for the
difficult postwar DAYS ahead when
many will be jobleSs and unable to
pay their taXes-the committee bill
prepares for nothing and would pin
sthe odiouS label Of tax defaulters'
on the breasts of the unfortunate.
The Carlson bill will spur pur-
chase of War bonds and investments
by setting the taxpayers budget in

threaten the whole War bond pro-
gram by offering higher discount
rates OF interest than can be OBJ

last Sunday a new mark was es-
tablished.
With d ates for the Michigan
state amateur championships sane
toned by the Roller Skating Rink
Operators Association gettin 6
closer, interest in the competitive
groups is becoming much keener,
Daily practice sessions at Arena
Gardens are heavier and are ex-
pected to increase.
However, it is becoming more
noticeable that the senior division
will be somewhat of a problem for
con e.S officials. Most of the
seniors are either in the arm d
forces or are working in war
plants. Because of this it is diff
cult TO state at this time whether
competition will be held in this di-
vision. But il is hoped that there
will be at least three senior mer
and women competing to make il q
legal contest.
The novice and junior groups
are we'll represented and there's nc
question but what they will show
well.
A new high in bond sales was
established the other day wher
Marjorie Kisielevicz of the Detroit
Figure Skating Club sold $3.50 in

has offered a SIS bond to any
member of the club to sell $1,000
