A Few Taxpayers
Still Looking For
Refund Checks

While the Internal Revenue
Service has issued the majority
of 1858 refund checks, few
thousand returns remain to be
processed to complete the re-
funding program, District Direc-
tor Harold r. All announced to-
day.
The IRIS makes every effort to
issue refunds as promptly as
possible, Mr.. All said, but in
many cases refund checks are
delayed because of errors or in
complete information.
These returns need p C !
handling and normally are set
aside until the taxpayers can be
contacted to furnish information
to correct and complete their
returns.
Mr.. All assures taxpayers that
he will make every e IF OF to
have theserefunds out by Sep
TENDER Is, 1859.
Errors which delay the issu-
ance of refunds include failure
to sign the returns, missing
W-2's, incomplete addresses and
exemption information and err
rors in computation.
Mr.. All urges taxpayers ex-
pecting refunds to refrain from
making inquiries at this time,
since this tends to further delay
the refunding operation.

Nixon Party in Country Drive

Labor has taken fright as

Should this fright pull votes

only be to make labor the
scapegoat for the whole
operation.
1t is difficult, perhaps, for
the general public to grasp
the throat-cutting potential

ferences eally do achieve
an acceptable compromise

But there is an occasional
exception, and the prospect
of a conference deadlock on

HoIIeck-S Smith Coalition Group Backs

Speaker Rayburn is leading

with Republican Leader Hal

smooth coalition with South

Union Leader Seen Close to Fovoring
Government Fixing of Wages and Prices

any wage increase. 1t means,
conversely, that whatever
wage rise is given can be
absorbed without a price in
crease. It means. Of course
that the industry wants the
working rules in existing
contracts revised to make
savings and accomplish
greater efficiency.
Much has been said by the
union spokesman in the last
few days about the size of
the profits which steel COM
panies now are revealed to
have earned in the first six
months Of this year. The ar
gument from the union side is
that wages can. be increased
because of such profits. But
this is exactly how imitation
airy spirals begin. The erron-
eous assumption is that a
rate of profits continues
indefinitely.
Unfortunately for the steel
companies, If they suffer a
reverse, union labor will not
share in the losses. Wages
are almost never reduced.
Profits are looked upon by
the labor unions as having
been earned by their mem
bers. 1t seems to be forgotten
that the stockholders and
creditors m oney, which
makes possible new and re-
modelled plants with up-to-.
date equipment, is usually
responsible for the increased
profits. Dividends and inter-
est are wages, too. :
But, in this instance, 1t was
the fear of a steel strike.
which became widespread
more than a year ago, that
gave the steel companies
twice as many orders as they
would normally have had for
the same period. Naturally,
if you do two years business
in one, profits 60 up for that
period. But if wage rates are
to be based on such an arti-
fetal situation, what is to
happen when orders decline
and buyers begin to cut down
inventories as soon as they
are assured Of a steady sup
ply after the strike is ended?
