Want Cigarettes
AT 12c A Pack

Washington (LPA)-Spokesmen
for industry have made a good case
before the House Ways and Means
committee for adjusting, if not re-
pealing, the federal sales taxes to
make them less of a burden on low
income consumers.
Edward F. Ragland, a spokes-
man for the small cigarette manu-
facturers, told the committee the
present tax of seven cents on a
package of cigarettes holsters the
big three monopoly and hurts small
business as well as the consumer.
Ragland testified the tax comes to
1853 per cent on cheap cigarettes,
but only 104 per cent on the brands
put out by the big companies.
"This is discriminatory, because
the cigarette tax is strictly a con-
sumner tax, passed on in full to the
smoker" Ragland testified. at
taxes the lower income group at a
higher rate than those better able
to pay and is thus discriminatory
against not only the smaller manu-
facturers but also against the con-
sumner of low purchasing power"
Ragland urged the committee to
adopt a progressive tax on cigar
cites, continuing the present rate
of $3.50 per thousand on cigarettes
selling at retail above IL cents
pack, but cutting the tax to $2.45
on those selling below IL cents.
This would make the tax about
equal to al per cent of the retail in
both cases, he said.
Support for a graduated tax has
come from both the Federal Trade
Commission and the Antitrust
Division of the Justice Dept as a
means of fighting the cigarette
by the three big manu-
facturers. Adoption of the plan
probably would permit sale of the
cheaper brands for at least five
cents less than the popular brands.
Spokesman for drugstores urged
.he committee to cut taxes on medi-
,inal alcohol, contending that the
present levy amounts to a tax of
l9 times the cost of the product,
The net cost of 6000 gallons of

men constantly complain TO him
about being told what they can do
and what they can't do by big bus
mess. Fines are not deterrent to
big corporations, Burger said, ask
ing jail penalties and prohibitions
against corporate officers convict
ed of such offenses remaining in
office. He proposes a bar from of
flee for two to five years for the
first offense; up to ten years for
second offenses; and permanently
for third offenses.
Burger challenged recent edi-
torial in Golfers Magazine attack
ing the Federal Trade Commission
for trying to apply the antitrust
laws to big tire companies. He de-
MED the government had inspired
the action, asserting the ETC acted
in response to demands from small
tire companies.
Chairman Celler I'd, N. " sug-
gested a few Jail sentences might
deter business executives from
antitrust, violations. Burger sug-
gested mandatory Jail sentences
where offenses were deliberate. He
said big corporation officials guilty
of antitrust violations were "just
as much thieves" as little men who
stole bread.

Union Proposes
Package To Avert
Telephone Strike

Washington (LPA)-The Com
munications Workers of America
made package" proposal Feb. IL
in an effort to avert nationwide
telephone strike. The unions 25
negotiating divisions were directed
to seek settlements with the Bell
System on a package basis of Is
cents an hour average increase"
The strike has been postponed
once at the request of federal
mediators, but the Bell System has
stood fast, and the offer was made
to break the deadlock. "We want
to get bargaining off dead center
and eliminate any possible excuse
for further company stalling in ne
gotiations, so we have made pack
age demand of Is cents for all
money items" declared Joseph A.
Beirne, union president.
"We hope this will break the
deadlock and persuade the COM
pany to get down to some real col
lective bargaining" Beirne added.
IF the company negotiators will
get down to business we may yet
be able to reach mutually satisfac-
tory agreements and avert the
strike set for next Friday. If they
don't, there will be a strike for
sure. The next move is up to the
company. We've given them a con-
crete proposal. Now we1l see whet-
her they really mean what they
say about wanting to bargain"
The package proposal covers
basic wages, shorter apprentice
period, regarding, and reclassifica-
tion Of towns.

MOVE FOR TOUGHER ANTITRUST
PENALTIES GAINS In CONGRESS

Washington (LPA A)-SpOkesmen
for small business, in and out Of
Congress have joined in the drive
to strengthen the penalties for
violations Of the antitrust laws.
They want tougher legislation than
is now proposed.
Chairman Wright Patman Cd,
Tex J, of the House Small Business
committee, and George j. Burger,
vice president of the National Fed
Grafton of Independent Business,
before the House Judiciary com
mittee on the Walter bill upping
antitrust fines from 5000 to $50
coo, appealed for stronger penal
ties.
Patman said "a $4,000 fine will
be substituting a few slaps on the
wrist for one slap" Patman and
Burger urged legislation suspend
ing officials Of corporations found
guilty Of antitrust violations. Pat
man said such action was a penalty
that "will be understood and felt
by corporate officials directing
unlawful activities Of their cor
porations much more than $4,000
fines" He pointed out that's what
happens to stock exchange mem
bers who violate it's rules, and
lawyers and doctors who engage in
unprofessional conduct.
But Patman endorsed the pend
ing Walter bill Eat least as far as
it goes" and said his Small Bust
ness committee was unanimously
for it. The Committee is expected
to approve the bill soon.
Pointing out the inadequacy Of
present penalties, Patman cited the
$175,000 fine-based on many small
5000 fines-against the A&P after
it had been found guilty in a long
trial and after the decision was af-
firmed unanimously by a higher
court. "This is the same APP which
is now spending SO to s. million
for newspaper advertisements at
tacking the government for com
mencing civil suit based on the
criminal conviction already obtain
ed," Patman added. perhaps
fine measured in millions would
have been more salutary."
Burger warned antitrust viola
tions are becoming more common,
and are bringing RECOMMENDATION of
business not by government, but by
monopoly. He said small business

Washington (LPA)-A nation
wide strike on the railroads, start

workers in train and yard service.
However, appointment by Pres
ident Truman of an Emergency
(Fact- Finding) Board to hear the
dispute is expected to avert the

Railway Labor Act, both sides are
supposed to maintain status quo
until at least 80 days after the
board reports it's recommendations

For nearly a year the two organ

they represent. Their demands in

Also, the unions sought wage
changes to correct inequities, ex-

"We do not believe arbitration
should be substituted for bona fide

Cop Singing The
Same Tune Says
President Truman

Washington (LPA) - Firs t
glimpse of the vigorous grass
roots campaign being mapped by
the national Democratic machinery
for next summer and fall was CIV
en- an overflow crowd of more than
$500 Democratic stalwarts at the
Jefferson-Jackson Day dinner here
Feb. 16.
To combat what President Tru-
man in a fighting speech called
"the same old music" sung by the
Republican party, the Democrats
will campaign for further develop
ment of our resources, further
strengthening of our economy,
new measures for the welfare of
the people," Truman said.
The Democratic program, "dir-
tated by a small but powerful
group of 24,0O0,000 voters" Tru-
man asserted, is not socialism as
the COP maintains. 1t is, he said,
aimed to promote prosperity and
increase the freedom of the AM
erican people.
Freedom is a reality in our
daily lives" the President said.
"The programs of our party have
freed workers from economic sub
lection to their employers. They
have freed formers from the fear
of bankruptcy. They have releas-
ed farm lives from the bondage of
ceaseless drudgery. They have
freed older people from the fear
of dependent old age.
"Our programs look forward to
the day when our people will be
freed from the fear of inadequate
medical care and crushing medical
expenses. They are aimed at free
ing our young people from ignor-
ance and poor education. And on
these foundations for greater free
dom for all our people, we are go
ing forward to break down the
barriers to economic opportunity
and political liberty that have been
created by prejudice and discrim-
nation"
At the speakers table at the
giant banquet, which filled the
armory here, were President Will
lam Green, of the AFL, Secretary
treasurer James Carey of the CIO,
and the heads of the ABL and CIO
election organizations, Joseph Kee-
nan and Jack Kroll.
Before and after the $1O0-a
plate dinner, sessions of local
Democratic leaders with national
officials were held to plan the out
lines of the 1850 Congressional
campaigns which will see all seats
in the House of Representatives,
and a few more than one-third of
the Senate seats at stake.
Already, President Truman has
promised to take another of his
"nonpolitical tours" through Ohio
and Pennsylvania, to aid Democra-
tic candidates in these two areas,
where elections will be hotly con-
tested.
