Stay on Taxes
By the Associated Press

Hope for a moratorium on

taxes from Amish farmers is
held by Mortimer L. Caplin,
Internal Revenue Commits
sioner.
Mr.. Caplin played host here
yesterday to a group of some 80
notwithstanding a few Men
nonites-bishops and religious
leaders to discuss their tax
problem.
Since 1855 when social Sc
curity was extended to certain
self employed persons, the In
ternal Revenue Service has had
its difficulties in collecting the
tax from what Mr.. Caplin
termed a hard core" of Amish
farmers.
The problem reached its peak
in national attention recently
when the IRIS seized three
horses from a farmer in New
Wilmington. Pa, and sold them

which agencies would be re-
quired to deal with all bona
fide employe groups which were
organized and have duly elected
officers, even If they did not
represent the majority of en-
ployes in an agency. The agen-
cies would be required to deal
with all bona fide employe
groups.
He said the NFFE as "op-
posed to any requirement that
a union prove it represents a
majority of the employees in
the department, agency, office
or installation" Government
white-collar employe unions for
the most part do not represent
the majority of employees in
agencies or many units.
AFGE Views
Still another view on the
subject was expressed by James
Campbell, president of the
American Federation of Gov
ernment Employees.
Mr.. Campbell Endorsed a
"membed- only" basis recogni-
tion; policy until q union can
win an election showing it
represents the majority Of en-
ployeS in a unit. However, once
a union wins such an election,
then it should be recognized
as the exclusive bargaining
representative" by the agency.
Mr.. Campbell declared. &
All the employee leaders agreed
on the necessity of a presi-
dental executive order with
teeth in it" +
however, there was a differ
ence of opinion as to what the
procedures should be.
Mr.. Keating and Mr.. Camp
bell advocated that when man
agement and union representa-
tives are unable to agree on
issues that either party should
be permitted to invoke the serv-
ices of the Federal Mediation
and Cancellation Service. If
this is unsuccessful, then a Spe-
