Crawford then introduced H.
R. 1896, a new bin incorpora-
ting these changes. Chairman
Knudson was advised that
these changes were satisfac-
tory to the interested parties
and agreed to bring the bill
up for committee action.
IN the meantime, groups
and individuals urged favor
able action. Ashley Totten on
behalf of the Virgin Islanders
in New York made represen-
tationS to Chairman Knudson.
Walter White, Secretary of the
N.AAC.P. urged represen-
tative Joseph Martin, Speaker
of the House, to lend his sup
port as leader of the Repub-
lican majority in the House.
Mr.. Ward Canaday of Toledo
and st. Croix, Vice President
|of WHY'S Overland Motors,
exerted his influence with Re-
leaders in the House.
AFTER further delay, on
April Z, the Ways and Means
Committee again considered
the matter in Executive Ses-
sion after listening to Repre-
sentative Crawford and Cow
ernor HASTE who explained
the changes made in the inter
est of agreement by all con-
|cerned. The Committee de-
Iciaed to postpone decision
lone day in order to obtain the
views Of Representative John
|Taber, Chairman Of the Com
mittee on Appropriations.
fHEfE Ways and Means
COMMITTEE reeonvened on
April 8, considered the bill in
closed session and voted to
lay it on the table.
THIS action was particular
y surprising since Is Of the Is
members of the Committee
are Republicans and Repre-
, 1948-04-15


had testified in support of the
bill and had urged its enact
ment in a report which he and
Representative Miller, Repub-
lican Of Nebraska, had pre-
pared after a nine-day visit to
the Virgin Islands in January,
1913.
THE legislation also had
the unequivocal support Of
the President and the Secre-
tary of the Interior and was
recommended by the Bureau
of the Budget and the Trea-
sury Department.
SO far as is known, no testi-
mony against the bill was sub
mitted to the Committee. Yet
despite the impressive indorse
ment and support which the
bill had received, the Ways
and Means Committee was
unwilling TO report it favor
ably to the House for action.
THE refusal of the Ways
and Means Committee to act
leaves the Virgin Islands in
desperate financial condition.
The Insular Government lacks
funds for hospitals, homes for
children and the aged, and
other public institutions; many
Of which are forced "a feed
their patients and inmates for
less than 50 cents per person
per day Public Welfare funds
are SO small that some Of the
INDECENT receive as little as
$3.50 per month and none
more than $500 per month.
Salaries Of some public en-
|ployees are as low as $500
per month and only two Of the
900 Insular Or Municipal en-
ployees receive more than
$500 per month. The great
majority receive less than
500 per month.
THE Ways and Means
, 1948-04-15

Refuses Aid To Own Possession
ON THURSDAY, April 8, the Ways and Means Com
mittee of the House of Representatives voted to lay on the
table" the proposed legislation to return to the Government
of the Virgin Islands the internal revenue taxes on liquors
produced in the Virgin Islands and shipped to the continental
United States. Ordinarily, sucha vote means that a committee
will give no further consideration to a bill and it will not
come before the House for a vote. However, it is still within
the power of the. Committee to take the bill from the table
and report it out to the House.
THE Virgin Islands internal revenue legislation has been
before the House Ways and Means ever since July I947 when
a bill was passed by the Senate and referred to this House
Committee. Governor HASTE went to Washington in Novem-
Der l947 to urge committee action during the special session
of Congress. However, Representative Harold KnudSon, of
Minnesota, Chairman of the Committee stated that he would
not bring this. matter up for consideration until the regular
session in January l948.
GOVERNOR HASTE returned to Washington in January
and at the solicitation Of Representative Fred Crawford,
sponsor of the legislation in the House, and the Governor
hearings were held before the Ways and Means Committee
on February 8, l948. Testimony was all favorable to the leg
islation and the Governor returned to his duties in the Virgin
Islands expecting early committee action.
THE Committee then invited Senator Hugh Butler,
Chairman Of the, Senate Committee on Interior and Insular
Affairs, to present his views. Congressman Sterling Cole Of
New York was also invited to testify. Both appeared before
the Committee and ndorsed the legislation, although Con
gresham Cole suggested several amendments.
AFTER this further testimony, the Committee took no
action. a month passed. Governor Haste returned to Wash
ington in March to attempt to persuade the Committee to
report the legislation to the House. In view Of Congressman
Coles suggestions, the Governor sought and obtained agree
ment between MI. Crawford and Mi. Cole upon amendments

Sheep and lambs on feed are down
in numbers too, Willis disclosed,
compared to 1947 statistics. Fall far
rowings of swine in 1947, on the
other hand, show a slight increase
of 3 percent in numbers, although
estimated 1913 spring farrowings
Indicate an IL percent drop from
last year.
Consumer demand will continue
strong for meat, Willis predicted.
Not only are livestock numbers
down, but the ~per-capita supply of
meat also has skidded substantially.
For 1913 the supply for each person
is estimated at 143 to IA pounds,
compared to 155 pounds last year.
Meat stocks are heavier than last
year, but not burdensome to market
price or demand.
With people gainfully employed
rising in numbers, and with wages
and salaries staying as high and in
some industries rising even higher,
demand for meat will not weaken.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-03-01
Expert Sees Stable
Market for Meat

ARE RECENT LIVESTOCK and
grain price drops any indication of
the market trend for 1948?
A. w. Willis, Wyoming agricul-
tural extension service economist,
responds by pointing out that de-
creased numbers of livestock, for
example, do not justify the price
drops that have occurred.
Total cattle numbers in 1947, he
continued, were down about $780,
900 head from numbers existing on
Jan. 1, 1945. This year will bring
about even a further decrease of
about 1000, 900 head.
Even more revealing is tie fact
that cattle and calves on feed are
approximately 500 1000 head fewer
than last year. What's more, a
larger proportion of those on feed
probably will be fed for shorter
periods and turned on the slaughter
markets earlier and with less fin
ish.

New York's Transit
| Normal as Left-Winq
Union Revolt Ends
BY the Asseeiatsd Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 28.-Buses and
trolleys rolled again today on seven
systems carrying 3,5o0,0o0 daily
fares as left-wing leaders Of a
revolving union faction urged their
followers to join a back-to-work
movement.
Company and CIO union officials
predicted normal service on the III
privately owned routes that had
been halted Tuesday in the biggest
surface transit strike in New York
City's history.
Union membership votes yester-
day and last night brought an
official end to the two-day walkout
by members Of the CIO Transport
Workers Union.
Only spotty service was provided
yesterday as many Of the $500
drivers, maitenance men and other
employees rebelled against back-to-
work orders issued the day before
by Michael j. Quill, right-wing in
ternational president Of the union.
Comedies Strike Is Broken.
Austin Hogan, left-wing anti-Quill
head Of the unions Local 100, con-
ceded yesterday that "our strike Is
broken" and urged his faction to
end It's rebellion.
Previously, MIR. Hogan had urged
his followers to stay out In a full
iedged strike for greater pay in
creases and pensions in addition to
promised retroactive pay raises.
Mr.. Quill said his strategy had
called for only a four hour walkout
demonstration last Tuesday against
the State Public Service Commis-
sion.
The union is pressing the COM
mission to grant the transit COM
panies higher fares, which would
make it possible for the companies
to pay about 5000, 900 in retroac-
tive pay increases and other bene-
fits. The commission has not acted
yet on pending fare rise applica-
tions.
O'Dwyer Cites Red Influence.
Mayor William ODwyer said
Communist leadership" had caused
the revolt against Quilts back-to-
work order.
The return to work gathered
strength late last night after en-
ployes of the Third Avenue Transit
System-largest of the seven COM
panies originally struck-voted 2,014
to 566 to end the wa,kout.
The Third Avenue Transit System
operates rs routes for almost 1000 900
passengers daily in Manhattan, the
Bronx and lower Westchester County.
Before the Third avenue system
men voted, the employees Of the six
other systems had voted to return
to work.
About 1900 employees Of the Third
Avenue Transit System had voted
by a big majority yesterday at a
mass meeting to remain out. They
agreed later, however, to abide by
the results Of last nights secret
ballot.
