In his 4,500-word message, the president discussed at consider able length shocking" loopholes which he said allow some persons and interests to escape millions in taxes.
 AS one example, he said that under present law, producers of motion pictures and their star players, have attempted to avoid taxes by creating temporary cor porations which are dissolved af- ter making one film"
 Present taxes are expected to bring in about $37, 100000 this year. This will be about S5,500,- OOO,0OO short of anticipated ex- penditures.
 In asking an overall increase of $l,OOO,OOO,00O in taxes, MT. Truman retreated from the $4,- OO0,OOO,OOO boost he recommen- ded last year and which congress ignored.
 This time he made no mention of higher taxes for middle and up per bracket individuals, such as was included in his S4,00O,000- 900 bill.
 The president said the tax pro- gram he recommended is designed to strengthen the tax system "So that it will yield revenues suffic- tent to balance expenditures as they are further reduced over the next several years, and to provide some surplus for debt reduction"

 A committee was appointed to line up candidates this week and is composed of Axel Edman, George Madsen, Chuck OIeary and William Beltz.
 A discussion was held concern ing the many things that would be brought up before the ligisla- ture for the benefit of the 2nd division, as it was felt that this division does not get its share of monies and benefits.
 Some of the things the club discussed of primary importance was the placing of full-tlme welfare worker as well as an ag- ent of the unemployment office.

Maryland industry today pre-
pared for full steam operations
in anticipation of the end of the
coal mining strike.
In Virginia a majority Of the
$4,000 striking miners in the
southwest part of the State were
looking forward to return to
their jobs-and payrolls.
The Virginia Coal Operators AS
sociation formerly belonged to the
Southern Coal Producers Associa-
tion. But at the start of the con-
tract talks nine months ago, the
Virginia organization. with SO
mines, pulled out of the Southern
association.
Resumption of work in the 80
mines hinges on the signing of
a contract between the United
Mine Workers and the Northern
and Western operators. Mean
while, there was possibility of some
delay in ending the month-old
strike at a dozen or more mines
still affiliated with the Southern
Coal Producers Association.
In Maryland, c. E. Clark, gen.
eral manager of the Bethlehem
Steel Co.'S Sparrows Point plant,
said: Normal working forces will
be restored as soon as we receive
definite information as to the re-
sumption of coal mining"

Even with the coal crisis ap-
parently over, the Nation faces a
gloomy labor picture-disputes
covering almost million workers
could explode into big strikes.
Major strikes threats face the
auto, railroad. maritime and tele-
phone industries. And there are also
tough labor relations disputes
shaping up in many other indus
tries, large and small.
The surprise deal worked out
by John L. Lewis in coal, giving
miners gains worth about $1.40
day per man. is a goal many
labor leaders will be shooting for
in the year ahead.
Unions have changed their tao
tics somewhat. In recent years,
when living costs were skyrocket-
ing. they laid heavy stress on this
factor as making wage increases
imperative.
Management Taking Strong Stand.
Now, when such costs have
stabilized. they do not stress that
argument so much. They say the
unions are simply trying for "a
bigger piece of the pie" meaning
a larger share of the profits.
/. Management, strongly resisting.
is taking a general stand against
any new increase in labor costs.
1t says a firm stand must be taken
lest the dizzy wage-price spiral of
the immediate postwar years start
up again.
Legal fights are complicating
this stalemate. These mainly
come from the new set Of ground
rules for collective bargaining
written into the Taft-Hartley law
two and half years ago. Labor
still won't accept the law.
Explosion is Brewing.
s All these ingredients boiling to-
gether are brewing potentially
explosive concoction.
! Here's the picture in some of
the key industries:
Coal-the practically completed
contract between Mr.. Lewis and
the coal miners seems to assure
a measure of peace in this in
dustry. Continuing argument is
likely. however. over administer
ing the newly enriched miners,
welfare fund. Mr.. Lewis still faces
a welter of multi-million dollar
damage suits brought by coal
operators during the prolonged
contract dispute, but these all may
be dropped as part of the contract
understanding.

Crippled Industries
Prepare 10 Resume
Normal Operations
By the Associoted Press

PITTSBURGH, Mar. 4.-Crlp-
pied industries quickly shifted
back into gear today without
awaiting formal notice that the
great coal strike Is over.
It was enough that John l..
Lewis and major coal operators
finally had reached agreement
after 10-month struggle.
The costly strike that almost
paralyzed the Nations economy
made idle nearly 100000 persons.
That includes the $4,000 striking
United Mine Workers.
Steel Industry Starts Activity.
The steel industry got ready TO
retire furnaces and rehire fur
loughed workers.
1t is expected to take steel mills
10 days or two weeks to resume
high production levels after the
coal miners go back to work.
Coal operators are getting long
idle pits ready for production.
Emergency coal shipments can
be rolling out of the coal fields
within 36 hours after production
is resumed.
The Pennsylvania Railroad said
1t plans to move all available
coal cars to tipples as soon as
the strike-ending contract be-
comes effective.
Pittsburgh Power Restored.
Big Steel's operations currently
are down to SO per cent of normal
with coke production at rs per
cent. The strike threw $4,000 of
it's workers out in Pittsburgh and
Birmingham.
Jones and Laughlin Steel Corp.
the Nations number four prod
ucer-said it could do nothing
before Monday about recalling its
$4,000 idled workers.
The Duquesne Light, Co. of
Pittsburgh lifted all restrictions
on the use of electric power for
its 397 900 industrial and domestic
users. Industries were working
short weeks and householders had
been asked to cut down light con-
sumption so per cent.

Lucas 10 Drop Request
For Mine Seizure if
Strike Ends Tomorrow
By Cecil HoIIond

ADMINISTRATOR ltdueIS Sci Veu
notice yesterday they will drop
President Truman's request for
emergency seizure authority if the
coal strike is settled before to-
morrow, as expected.
Senate Majority Leader Lucas
told the Senate that action on
seizure legislation had been put
off until tomorrow.
There will be no pressing for
the emergency legislation if the
strike is settled" he added.
Senator Capehart, Republican,
of Indiana, urged the Senate and
Congress to 60 ahead with action
on a bill for seizure of the coal
mines or any other facilities in
volved in a strike affecting the
national welfare.
Lucas Agrees, With Reservations
Il do not think we should stop
now" Senator Capehart said. 1--WE
should pass legislation giving the
President authority to avert these
conditions. I think we will be
derelict in our duty if we do not
do that"
Senator Lucas agreed that
something ought to be done. p"
But he reminded the Senate that
is pretty hard" to draw up that
kind of legislation in free
country where a man has "the
right to work when he pleaSes
and where he pleases and no
one can tell him what to do"
Senate Minority Leader Wherry
of Nebraska told reporters that
permanent seizure legislation for
dealing with such strikes as the
coal dispute should be put on
the books. But he said it should
not be considered while coal op-
orators and the United Mine
Workers are on the point of agree
ing on a new contract.
Wherry AssailS Truman.
Later in a Senate speech, Sena-
tor Wherry assailed President
Truman for not acting in the coal
dispute. three months earlier
under the Taft-Hartley Act.
On the other hand, Senator
Lucus credited Mr.. Truman with
helping force the settlement by
pointing out in his message asking
for seizure authority that seizure
would not be substituted for col
lective bargaining.
He praised the Senate Labor
Committee for rapid action on the
emergency legislation and said
that all but few details of the
measure had been worked out.
Chairman Thomas of the Labor
Committee called a meeting for
tomorrow to complete work on the
bill. But he made it clear that he
hoped such course would not be
necessary.
Lesinski Delays Action.
"The committee" Senator
Thomas added, would be very
happy if the contracts are signed
and there would be no need for
going on with the discussion"
He said only emergency and
not permanent seizure legislation
was being considered.
Chairman Lesinski of the
House Labor Committee put off
indefinitely any action on seizure
legislation.
Observers believed that Demo-
cratic leaders would be able to
forestall any action on permanent
seizure authority. The Senate can
point to the fact that it passed
such legislation as amendments to
the aft-Hartley Act last year
and the measure is now bottled
up in the House.
Action is likely, however, on
legislation requested by Mr.. Tru-
man for a coal commission to
study the ills of the industry.
