labor has an abiding interest. This progress has been a cooperative undertaking in which we all had common objectives.
 In achieving this progress, we have been ever mindful that if any advance was worth fighting for it had to meet the test of the pulp lie interest. There is no class leg islation on the statute books of New York. An advantage for man. agement over labor or for labor over the public does not meet the test.
 When labor is adequately i'm sured against the threat of rmem- p1oyment and against the hazards of the job, the whole community is stronger. When labor relations are handled in a fair, impartial way, with a minimum of coercion and maximum of cooperation, and the result is fewer strikes and industrial disputes, all the people benefit. Measures to achieve these ends are labor policies only in a technical sense. They are, in fact. matters of the broadest public inli terest.
 It is not only labor which ben efts in New York from the fact that our state ranks second to none in the peaceful settlement of disputes, Every man. WonaM

In the last i've years the state of New York has had no place in it's government for party liners" or fellow-travelers. And your next administration in Washington will not make them any more welcome. The new national ad- ministration which takes office next January will never make the mistake of assuming that men like Lee Pressman speak for the Amer ican working man. Nor will that Administration play into the hands of such elements by so far forget ting the rights of all our citizens as to propose that strikes be broken by drafting men into the Army.
 In contrast with such policies, there is the record of administra- tion in the largest industrial state in the nation during the past six years. We have always taken pride in the fact that the Ameri- can labor movement was born in New York and has now been ac- corded life-size place in the com munity. We have got along we'll with the AFL people in our state and, as the annual reports of the New York State Federation of La- bor will show, they have got along well with us. More than once in these recent years they have found occasion to point out that New York State has led the country in fields of social progress in which

Lane Sitting Tight
On Prospects for
Maryland Tax Cut
BY the Assceiofed Press

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Mar. 2s.-
Gov. Lane is sitting tight regard
ing any tax reduction outlook for
Maryland.
While revenue estimates have been
revised upward this year, some re-
ceipts have shown decline. Just
what turn the States income will
take next year remains to be seen.
Present expectations of revenue
for the fiscal year appear to be
hopeful, total of $53, ,432 900 against
an original estimate of $40, ,440, 900.
While the sales tax accounts for
little less than $25 100000 of the
expected revenue, alcoholic beverage
and race track receipts are expected
to fall of.
Spirits Revenue Down.
The income tax-received chiefly
in April and Mays still to be
collected. So far revenue from this
source is expected to be greater
than last year.
But when at the 1947 special ses-
sion OF the legislature revenue pre-
dictions were revised, the income
tax was held at the same point
0,674, 900.
The biggest gap in revenues Is in
distilled spirits. Total revenue for
the fiscal year from this source
was estimated at s6,500,000. 1t looks
now as if it will be s2,500,000 less.
Beer receipts also are expected to
fall from s1,650,00 to $500 900.
Wine revenues are running we'll
ahead of expectations, but the an
ticipated figure of $4,000 is small
from a fiscal point Of view.
Racing Receipts May Drop.
A change in the Maryland racing
dates probably will mean a cut in
state racing revenues Of approx
mately $500,000.
Gov. Lane is on record favoring
postponing a legislated increase in
the State income tax Of from to
~ percent on earned income. So
far he has said only that he would
have to await recommendations OF
the State Board Of Revenue esti-
mates before such step could be
taken.
Whether there will be further loss
in expected revenues to permit hold
ing of on the new income tax rate
will probably depend on the expert
ence of the State the rest of this
year.

Virginia House Asked
To Anhu| Press Probe
And SeIf-Voted Bonus
BY the Assoeiofsd Press

vrginia.s current House of Dele
gates may rescind some of its legis-
lative work at the constructive
session" of the General Assembly to-
morrow.
Three delegates have announced
they will ask the House to reverse
itself on the Swanson resolution
calling for investigation of the
Richmond Newspapers, Inc, and
the Beazley resolution authorizing
$500 bonus to each delegate.
Another delegate has expressed
approval of one and opposition to
the other-a situation which could
lead to the necessity of a quorum
at the constructive session" which
convenes at noon.
Usually Short of Quorum.
Such sessions following the regu-
lar 60-day sessions are usually held
without a quorum present in either
branch of the Legislature. They are
held to enable the presiding Of
ficers to comply with the require
ment Of signing enacted bills ir
the presence of Assembly members
in open session. Because of their
number, these bills cannot be made
ready before the end of the 60-day
session.
Delegate Edward T. Haynes Of
Richmond said yesterday he plans
to offer in the constructive session
a resolution to annul the resolution
which the House passed, giving each
delegate a $500 bonus.
On Saturday Delegate Edmund T.
DeJarnette of Hanover announced
that he and floor leader E. Black
burn Moore Of Clarke, will introduce
a resolution to expunge the House
resolution which directs the State
Corporation Commission and the
Attorney General to investigate the
practices and policies Of the Rich
mond newspapers.
Louderback Defends Bonus.
In Richmond, Mr. Haynes also
said he would support the proposed
De Jarnette resolution. And from
Stanley, Delegate C.. c. Louderback
said he, too, would approve such a
resolution, revoking the investiga-
ton asked of the Richmond papers.
Mr.. Louderback said in a letter
to Raymond S. Davis, president OF
the Virginia Press Association, that
he had regarded the Swanson reso-
luton ordering the newspaper in
vestigation "just as an enjoyable
Joke" and he would be glad to see 1t
nullified
