RAILROAD BROTHERHOODS
NEGOTIATE FOR OVERTIME
incorporating unions get President to submit measure
again; Roosevelt calls for settlement of issue within
30 days.

I Washington, Jan. 5.-Nonoper
ating railroad employees apparent
ly won new point Wednesday, il
their campaign for more pay az
President Roosevelt resubmittec
their claims to an emergency
board in langusge that seemed tC
limit the issue to that of over
time.
The unions had contended that
only this issue should be open tc
discussion; they had baked at re
opening wage increase previously
recommended for them.
The White House announced that
the case of the 100000 clerks,
shopmen and others who do not
actually run trains, had been sent
back to the board for considerat
ion of payments for or in lieu
of overtime"
The statement at another point
mentioned unsettled claims for
wage adjustments of the nonop-
Grating employees which were not
presented" at the time the board
made a previous report recon
mending sliding scale increases in
regular time ranging from A TO
10 cents an hour.
The order recited the history of
the negotiations, in which the Is
unions at first refused the regular
time increase, then accepted it at
the time q year-end strike was
called off, and at the same time
the new claim for over
time compensation. It mentioned
that the carriers and the nonop-
Grating employees had not been able
to agree with respect to such
additional CLAIMS" and at another
point said the special panel was
recalled to consider ''the unsettled
claims for wage adjustments"
The question in the minds of
worker spokesmen was whether
that language went as far as the
White House statement in limit
ing the issue.
In calling off their strike, the
unions offered to submit the over
time issue-and only that issue
TO arbitration by President Roose-
velt. The railroads, however,
though they had accepted the reg
llar time pay order, contended that
the whole issue should go to ar
bitration, including tine regular
time rates. In view of that dis
agreement, the case never
reached the point of presidential
determination.
The presidents order Wednes
lay called for recommendations
rom the special board as soon as
possible and at amy rate within 80
lays.

Wartime Shortages
Increase In State

E. P. Provinse, chief clerk Of
the local o. P. A. office has made
public an article from the State
office showing the effects of in
cre&sing wartime shortages and
the rationing of necessary items

time price control and rationing
According to State Director A
T. Peterson, "The predictions OF
the Baruch committee made in
the 1912 report on the tire and
rubber prospects for the United
States have been borne out exact
/ lv in Montana. AS was forecast in
that report the bottom of the tire
supply barrel is now being scraped
and industry figures bear out the
committee statements that the
shortage will continue through
the spring of 1914.
Issuance of passenger car tires
during 1913 showed g consider
able increase of 1912 &llotments
of 14,1l10 tires although the great
part of the increased 1943 quotas
of 30,973 tires came in the first
ten months followed by drastic cuts
during November and December.
The truck tire shortage is quite
serious, according to Director
Peterson. although 1913 allot-
ments were 10000 larger than the
27,000 issued in 1912, estimates
of the rubber industry show an
anticipated shortage of so percent
of truck needs for 1914" Mr.. Pet
erson stated.

File Income Returns
Early Says Penwell

Lewis Penwell, Collector of In
ternal Revenue, announce that he
has begun to mail COVE Of the
1943 Individual Income and Wet
orv Tax Return to the estimated
100000 Federal income tax pay
ers in the district of Montana.
Collector Penwell says, cal
though these returns are not re-
quired by law to be filed until
March Is, l cannot urge too
strongly that everyone prepare
and file his return as early as
possible"
"There are" he says, 'two ma
ior points that ARE vital for every
one to understand. First, many
persons will owe a substantial tax
and should start Immediately to
find out how much they will owe
and to make plans for meeting
the obligation. I must emphasize
this as simple matter of fair
ness to those taxpayers who may
have overlooked this phase of the
change-over to the p&y-as-you- =
go system.
"Second, although many tax
payers will find that they are sub
stantisalv paid up on their 1913
taxes-some of them, in fact, be-
ing entitled to refunds-it is still
necessary for them to file return" :"
Collector Penwell explains that,
under the pay-Ss-you-go sys-
tenn, all current tax payments
through Withholding from wages
Or by means of payments on "dec-
lar&tions of estimated tax" are
only approximate. Therefore, it is
necessary to file a return at the
close of the wear to determine the
exact amount of each persons tax
liability and to determine whether
he underpaid or overpaid his taxes.
In instances where the current
payments were less than the tax
payable March 18th, remittance of
the difference will be necessary
at the time of filing the return. !
This amount cannot be paid in in
In instances where
