She's Nuts
Employees Soy Of
Boss Tex Mufiny

BRIDGEPORT, Jan. "a (FP)--
The Bridgeport Herald conducted
a poll Of war plant employees Of
Miss Vivien Kellems, wealthy
anti-Roosevel Westport Industrial
ist who has called for a national
mutiny against paying income
taxes. The opinions of Bridgeport
workers ranged from "She's nuts"
10 comment that her stand sounds
like treason"
Meanwhile Vivien is spreading
her tax-strike poison through the
southwest and claiming that busi-
nessmen are "deluging" her with
wires, phone calls and letters of
approval.
In Washington, Secretary Of the
Treasury Henry Morgenthau said
that "to advise citizens TO refuse
to pay taxes-particularly in time
Of war-smacks of disloyalty."
But Vivien's brother, co-owner
of the Westport war plant, said he
indorsed the views of his sister,
adding only that he wasn't advo-
eating deliberate" refusal to pay
federal levies.
The Herald's editorial said that
Miss Kellems represents that sec
tion of industrialists who would
rather ieopardize victory abroad
than unite at home to win the war.

Ickes TO
ResSoin Mines

WASHINGTON (FP) - The
Smith-Connally war labor disputes
act does not require the govern.
ment to give up possession at this
time of the coal mines seized in the
November strike, Attorney-General
Francis Biddle ruled Jan. II.
His opinion was made at the re-
quest of Secretary of Interior
Harold Ickes, custodian of the
mines. The act provides that mines
taken over by the government shall
be returned to their owners not
later than go days after full pro-
duction has been restored. Biddle
said:
Productive efficiency Of a
mine cannot be determined alone
by the physical volume of coal pro-
duced at a given time; it is also
necessary to consider whether, if
the government relinquisheS pos
session, there will be further in
references with production
through strikes or stoppages or
threats of strikes or stoppages." /"
In his letter requesting an opin-
ion, Ickes said: ~ am convinced
that, despite the remarkably high
production levels achieved at the
mines their restoration to the
owners at this time, when the con-
tract negotiations are not COM
pleted, might lead to a recurrence
of the work stoppages which have
meant so great loss of coal pro-
duction in the past and which at
this time, when the coal shortage
is so severe, may well spell dis
aster."

Saying that Ohio "is far behind
in the handling of the problems
Of its criminals and delinquents, !"
Mr.. Reams said that not only are
new buildings needed, but enlight-

ding the charges of the institu-
tions are necessary.
Labor and agriculture were
Jumped together by Mr.. Reams
and dispose of with a few
words. He said, "the interests of
both must be protected to the end
that this state will again lead the
nation as united and progressive
commonwealth. There is no place
in Ohio for class and group strife.
We need no irritating and friction
breeding legislation in Ohio to
hamper the freedom of our citi-
zens to work ,Jgether and con-
tract, one with another"
Sales Tax Proposal
Proposal of Mr.. Reams to divide
the state sales tax $3.50 between
the state government and political
subdivisions was applauded by
more than 900 persons who had
gathered to hear the candidate
launch his campaign. Despite the
fact that Mr.. Reams stated the
large surplus which the state now
has, he did not advocate repeal of
the sales tax.
Dancing and luncheon followed
the talk.
Mr.. Reams was introduced by
John Quinlivan of the Lucas Coun-
ty Democratic Executive Commit
tee. Gerold Cullen, County Re-
corder, was general chairman of
the meeting.

Great concern was expressed
over the large number of workers
who have lost their right to vote
because of missing two successive
general elections. Lucas County
was shown to have gained 10,458
new registrations in 1943, but has
lost 44,525 since the 1912 elections.
Plans were made to carry out a
registration campaign designed to
win back some of the lost registra-

The board estimated that for
the next 10 years its proposals
would cost 1870 of payrolls. CAS-
compared with the present sched-
uled rates for 1949," the report
said, "it would mean no increase
for employers and an increase of
3qo of taxable earnings for en-
| ployes, if the cost were divided
equally between employers and
workers"

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24-(FP)
"A campaign to enlist active help
of women in the work of the CIO
political action committee through
special leaflets stressing the need
to protect interests of servicemen
was announced by the CIO Wom-
ems Auxiliaries national executive
board.
A 9-point servicemen's welfare
program was adopted by the board
with a vote for every serviceman
and woman assured by federal
ballot as point one. Action in sup
port of the Presidents subsidy
program was voted and members
were urged to send their senator's
and congressman their own weekly
budgets in order to blast the myth
that war workers are earning ex-
orbitant incomes.

already pointed out, to be
eligible as married, the parties
must have lived together for
some part of the taxable year, un-
less separated on the order OF
physician or by reason Of military
service of one of the spouses.
On the short form a persons
status is determined by what ne
or she was on July l, 1943. II a
person was single or married on
that day, regardless of any sub
sequent change, so far as the
exemption is concerned, the actual
status for the year is taken, $41.67
for each month person is single
and 500 a month for each month
the person is married.
Married Persons Return
If married people file individual
returns on the short form, one
may take the entire exemption, or
they may apportion it equally. On
the long form, one may take it
all or the parties may apportion it
in any way they decide.
A single person % who actually
supports and maintains in one
household, (2) one or more indi-
viduals (3) who is or are closely

vide for these dependents is based
upon some moral or legal obliga-
ton, is head of family and en-
titled to the $1,000 exemption.
This means that the taxpayer
actually contributes more than
50qo Of the dependents support,
and that the taxpayer maintains
and lives in the same household
with the depedent. The only ex-
ception to this requirement occurs
where a divorced father, who
meets all the other requirements,
exercises family control by visit
ing his ex-wife and children and
guiding their affairs. The blood

Burial Of
Union
Buckfires

ROCHESTER, N. Y, Jan. "a
(FP)-When a company is so sure
it has won a fight against union
ism that it stages a mock funeral
of the union, it may find that the
dead can rise aagin. That's what
the American Laundry Machinery
Co. learned when it tried to bury
the United Electrical Radio and
Machine Workers (CIO).
Determined to keep its employees
from organizing, the company
spent lot of money in propaganda
against unionism. The day before
the NLRB election, in which the
workers were to choose between
the UE and no union, the company
stopped work to hold mass meet
ing for employees. They were told
not to vote for the CIO union.
Scared, the voters chose no union.
Twin coffins bearing signs jeer-
ing at the CIO were paraded
around the plant the next day.
Funeral dirges for the union were
sung over the company public ad-
dress system. Lighted candles and
all kinds of elaborate funeral ar
rangements dressed up this sinister
play staged by the company to inn
press on the workers that the
union was definitely dead.
But the union wasn't dead. 1t
filed charges of unfair labor prac-
tices against the company and the
Regional NLRB declared the Amer
lean Laundry Machinery Co. guilty.
Very much alive the UE is carry
ing on its organizing campaign.
Another election will be held soon
and this time the company may
sing a song with a different tune,
union officials say.

pendent for this purpose. Per-
sons over Fl are not dependents
unless physically or mentally in
capable of self-support.
Credit For Dependents
In addition, a credit is given to
all taxpayers for dependents. On
the short form it is 1885 for each;
on the long form, $3.50. A child
under Is is dependent for this
purpose. But any person may be a
taxpayers dependent regardless of
age, relationship or place of resid-
ence. However, before a person
over 18 may be a dependent, the
person must be incapable of self
support by reason of physical or
mental condition. In any event,
the taxpayer must have contri-
buted more than 500 of all the
support received by the claimed
dependent.
Earned Income Credit
On the long form a special de-
duction called Earned Income
Credit" is allowed in figuring the
income subject to the normal tax.
1t is not available on the short
form. If the net income is $4,000
or less, the deduction is 1919 of
the net income. II the net income
is above $4,000, the credit is 10@o
the smaller of (D the net income
- item 18 on the tax form, or,
(2) the earned net income - item
! on the tax form, after deducting
cost of small tools, uniforms, and
union dues. This differentiation
applies to persons who have con-
siderable income from stocks,
bonds, dividends, business, or sale
OF property. For the average wage
Garner, the net income - item 18
will be smaller, unless the in
come has been increased beyond
deductions by the sale of property.

UCAPAWA spent two years

timidation and threats ranging
from splitting moves on the part
of management to the formation
of a phony citizens committee.
The net earning of Camel (the
Reynolds company was $18,562,-
TAI in 1943. This is profit after
deducting all possible charges, in
cluding depreciation and income
and excess profits taxes of this
war year. Sales of the company
reached a new high of $414,263,-
939 for the past year about $40,-
100000 more than 1912.
This profit story is being read
with interest by the poorly paid
Negro and white workers in the
Winston Salem factories. The
workers here are staying up after
hours to help their union draw

PITTSBURGH,

PITTSBURGH, Jan. "a
(FP) - In a nation-Yide
broadcast, President Benja-
min F. Fairless of the U. S.
Steel Corp, largest steel mo-
nopoly, shook business big stick
at organized labor.
Painting a black and greatly
exaggerated picture of strikes in
war industry, he warned unions to
expect "labor legislation wi h
teeth" Going further, he declared
that the steel corporation still
stubbornly opposes membership in
labor union as a condition of
"the right to work"

receive, which U. S. Steel unwill-
ingly bowed to in 1912, is sun
necessary, undesirable and sub
versive of the workers individual
freedom" Fairless asserted, tell
ing his radio audience: "Our con-
viction is as firm today as it ever
was that the right to work should
not be dependent upon membership
or non-membership in any organ
ization."
Speaking as if strikes and other
work stoppages were an every
day menace in the nations war
plants, and the foremost problem
Of industry, Fairless threatened: ::
"a justly aroused public will not
long countenance strikes and other
production interferences which
have been so prevalent during re-
cent months. If labor leaders are
unable or unwilling in these criti-
cal times to curb the disruptive
acts Of subordinate officials or of
small groups of union members,
then they should not complain
over the enactment of labor legis-
lation with teeth"
