Washington, d. C.-The nationwide
campaign to enact anti-labOr state
legislation. which was characterized
by AFL President William Green as
an attempt to bypass President
Roosevelt and stab Americas soldiers
of production in the back, came a
cropper in two more states during the
past week.
In North Carolina two anti-union
bills were killed by the Labor Com
mittee of the legislatures House of
Representatives. Newspaper observers
and legislative representatives predict
ed this action would end the reaction
ary drive for the 1943 session in this
state. One of the bills would have
authorized the use of anti-labor in
functions by employers and provided
for state supervision of union finances.
The other sought to limit picketing.
Another encouraging report came
from Wyoming. Martin Cahill, presi-
dent of the State Federation of Labor

Federation Agdin
Hits Victory Tax
Places Heavy Tax Burden
On F Families With Low
Income

Washington, ID. c. ULNS). In a
detailed discussion of taxation and the
load it puts on lower paid workers,
the American Federation of Labor
again crticizes the Victory Tax, which
it opposed when pending in Congress.
THE Victory Tax" the AFL says
in its monthly survey, takes 5 per
per week. regardless of his family re-
sponsibilities. This places a heavy bur-
den on low income families.
For married man with children
to take $3.50 out of $62 pay enve-
lOpe is a real hardship, counted in
food, shoes, clothes which the family
must do without, to the extent of more
than 1928 a year. The exemptions for
married men and dependents allowed
by the income tax prevent this un-
fairness The married man with
children earning $50 Il week pays no
income tax; he has exemptions and
deductions of $50 week (S26 a week
for married couple and s for eacll
child)
Because the Victory Tax grants no
such exemptions, it places the tax bur
den very much more heavily on the low
income groups. OF the total income
tax, only 81 per cent is paid by people
with incomes under $4,000 a year
while SO per cent of the Victory Tax
is paid by this group.
"A way has been suggested to cor
rect this unfairness which could be
incorporated in the new tax bill Con.
gress will enact this year: Absorb the
Victory Tax into the income tax sys.
TEN, applying the same exemptions to
both taxes"

Perth AmbOy, n. J.-At our last

to the small number present, it WAS
decided to hold it over until our next

their say on the matter. SO be on hand
at 5:15 p. m. Friday, March II, and
have your say or stay away and be

The cold weather here on February
18th and 10Th, forced our bOwlmakers
to loaf two days, however, one day

has its bad effects, for it usually
causes men to be absent from their
