situation has been aggravated Ey the adoption of an arbitrary limita- ton on property. The present move for payroll taxes on top of already consumption taxes should therefore be bitterly resisted wherever i+ ap- pears.
 The average property tax rate in 219 American cities in 1914 was $27.61 per thousand dollars of valu- ation. In Toledo, where a payroll tax has been adopted, the property tax rate was only $19.60 per thous- and. Now the $30 week labOIer or clerk in Toledo may look for ward to paying just as much rent as he ever paid, plus a 212 percent tax of $15.60 year. Central labor bodies and state federations are urged to be on guard against municipal financing of this sort.
 The American Federation of La- Dor believes in adequate support of health, education, welfare, fire and police protection and all other needed municipal services. The fu- ture prosperity of our cities and our nation demand, however, that these services be supported through taxation based on the ability to-pay principle.

price increases by the o. P. A., 1a- Dor spoke esanen declared. Greedy for more, operators in this field are said to be still on a "sitdown," hop ing either for death of the price control act or still more concessions from the o. P. A.
 Unions in the durable goods" field-that is, refrigerators, wash ing machines, automobiles, and the like charge that manufacturers are "hoarding" large backlogs of co1n- pleted products, awaiting either Hitting of the lid'' or further price boosts from the O. P. A.
 The same situation is true in many other fields. Paul Porter, O. P. A. administrator, declared that Businessmen are increasingly tempted to withhold their products in anticipation of higher prices" and that the "price-raising amend ments'' already adopted by the House and awaiting Senate action have intensified this practice. Por- ter warned that continuation of the practice would be fatal to our all- out production effort"
 A militant appeal to consumers to fight against this ''sitdown strike" by Big Business was voiced by former Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia, now U. N. R. R. A. chief, in a radio address.
 He lashed out particularly at the meat and bakery industries for keeping food from the market. In the case of bread, he insisted there isn't really a shortage" but that big bakers have conspired ito hold

Before the war, it was generally agreed that wage earners with yearly incomes up to 5000 paid a diSproportionate share of their in- come in consumption taxes. During the war consumption taxes in- creased and low-income groups now pay an additional Federal income tax.
 Members of organized labor must not forget that in order of prefer ence they should support:
 1. A graduated income tax (with provision for exemption sufficient to maintain reasonable minimum living standards for a worker and his dependents.)
 2. The property tax which, ir spite of it's abuses, is fair measure of ability to pay, particularly in industrial communities.
 3. Taxes on consumption (sales taxes, excise taxes, payroll taxes) which can be justified only as a last resource or in an emergency. Except the gasoline tax, which is justified because levied for specific purposes of maintaining roads.)
 Certain backward states in tax legislation such as Ohio, Michigan, and Illinois adopted the sales tax during the thirties largely due to YN~ QSSS1Irn from roa1+v and b11SipocC interests. These groups wished to relieve property from taxation but were opposed to the adoption of the equitable tax on personal and business incomes. In Michigan, Ohio and several other states the

Eaton Will Supply Kaiser With Steel
When Monopoly Refused To Sell Material


 Cleveland, June 12-Henry J. Kaiser, who performed production miracles" during the war, has again demonstrated there is more than one way to "skin the monop- oly cat.' .t Recently he. complained he was unable to obtain steel for his new ly formed Kaiser-Frazer Corpora ton. That problem, he revealed this week, has been solved by Cyrus E. Eaton, Cleveland indus trialist and Banker. Kaiser-Frazer will take the output of a steel plant Eaton has just acquired from the Wheeling Steel Company.
 Kaiser said he will supply Ea- tons plants with ingots from his California blast furnaces and that Eaton will roll them into sheets for Kaiser-Frazerr automobiles.
 Eaton is the gentleman who de- feated the House of Morgan in the spectacular battle over competitive bidding for railroad and other util- ity securities. For long time the House of Morgan fixed it's own price. Now, thanks to Eaton, other bankers "have a lookin."

In both cases, the operators are waiting to see what Congress does with the price control act which expires July 1 unless renewed. If price ceilings are eliminated from meat, as recommended by the Sem ate Banking Committee, then the ranchers and packers will be in for a killing. "" Meat prices in such event will shoot up 50 per cent, O. P. A. officials predict.
 This "hOldback" of meat has
 become so serious that the Off,
 flee of Economic StabilizatiOn,

 The union charged that these manufacturers are placing profit above public interest" and are seek ing to put pressure on the O. P. A. for higher prices and upon Con- gress for abandonment of all price control" The union urged that Congress combat the threat by ex- tending the price control act, with out crippling amendments.
