Tax Tips Drew
Townsend Fire

CHICAGO, Oct. IL (LPA)-
The U. S. Internal Revenue Bu-
reau could "spend its time more
profitably investigating war pro-
fiteers' instead of conducting a
drive to have tips declared a
part of taxable wages, President
Willard Townsend, of the United
Transport Service Employes-ClO
asserted here last week.
Spending taxpayers money
on a large staff of investigators
to harass the little fellow while
ignoring gargantuan corporation
profits is a significant trend IN
the conduct of the administra-
ton" said Townsend. Organ
lied labor has long fought a
gainst including tips as part OF
wages. Irregular and unpredict-
able gratuities hardly afford the
security necessary to a decent or
well-ordered life"
Tips help railroad service
workers a little, Townsend said,
"but the small sums to be gain
ed are nothing to what the U. s.
Treasury could garner if 1T were
to explore some of the loopholes
of the law and tax dodges of the
clothing, food, lumber and heavy
industries that got we'll during
the war"

Forced Arbitration Hit

WASHINGTON (LPA)-Com-
pulsory arbitration was slapped
by a Labor Dept fact finding
board ruling in a dispute be-
tween the Milwaukee Gas Light
Co. and the CIO Gas, Coke &

The board declared tn t
"There is strong resistance on
the part of both labor and man
agement to legislatively impos-
ed system of compulsory arbitra-
ton Government control over
the collective bargaining process
was a necessary evil in wartime.
That experience, however, dem
onstrated the essential weakness
of a universal system of COM
pulsory governmental arbitra-
tion." The fact finders said that
voluntary arbitration sis not yet
by any means a generally ac-
cepted pattern and is not likely
to become such in the near fu-
ture,"

We Can Make 'em.
But Can't Buy EN-

DETROIT, Oct. 10 (LPA)-
Can auto workers afford to buy
cars? After years of making
autos, 46 out of 100 typical
workers in the auto industry do
not own cars. And 18 out of 100
such wokers have never owned
a car.
In case these figures don't
make the answer clear, the
United Auto Workers-CIO asked
some more questions of a typical
group of auto workers. They
found that As out of every 100
auto workers have never owned
brand new car. The most mon
ey that the average auto worker
has ever spent for an auto is
1894.
Even though SO out of 100
auto workers who intend to buy
cars expect to purchase new
ones, they hope to pay about
SAL, on the average, and the
most they could afford to shell
out would be about 1916.
That's The Catch
That's the catch, the UAW
points out. To the question,
Are auto workers going to buy
new cars?" the union has an an
sWer, which is given in the cur
rent issue of Ammunition.
They were, but they have
been robbed.
who robbed them? Some
thing was said about Congress
and the corporations.
THE corporations talk about
wage increases, but wage in
creases don t explain auto prices.
The wage cost of making cars
has risen about $55 since Sep
tember, 1941, but the cost to
consumers has gone up around
$4O0.
And why? Well, the plot
comes out. This year on account
of tax rebates given the corpor-
ations they don't have to make
cars to make money. They just
write checks on the Federal
Treasury for stockholder divi-
dends.
Next year? Well, they figure
they have an assured market at
the high prices.
AS for auto workers and the
other people who didn't profi-
teer during the war, the corpor-
ations say they can wait.
But you can get the law on
this kind of conspiracy, that is,
if you vote in people who will
write laws to make stealing il
legal and who will enforce
them"
