W 011 SCOloes Report Of Tax Study Gl'OUP

l'afatthew Woll, AFL EJl:ecuth'e Council member who served on the Special Tax Study Committee ap­pointed by Repre!lentati\'e KnuOlOn. dl'Clared that adoption of the recent recommendationll of the majority of the comnlittl'e would mean a revenue 1088 of approximately $4't:i billion yearly,

Early in November when Woll, the labor l'cpreaenlaUve on the Specinl Tax Study Committee, filed a minority report in which he took issue with the majority l'('Commendations, he stated that he WIU! rCllervill~ the ri\.:'ht to file luch IItatement III he might consider wal'ranted by further study or the majority Htatement presented by RO!!­well Ma~iII. "There was little or nn reference during the committee de­liberations to the probable revenue losa that might rl"!!ult from the adop­tion of the ,16 recommendations em­bodied in the majority report," stated Mr. Woll. "When I tried to ~ecure information on this point from tech­nical adviReJ'S of Ihe Ways snd Mcan'! Committee, I was told it was not avail­IIble. Through lItudies we have madE' independently, the e!!timates of the.e losses now ineluded in the supple­mentary report have been secured rrom the latest aVAilable computu­lions based on current revenue and tax receipt!!."

Mr. Woll empha~lz;ed that the $4,5 billion I!!Itimated 101111 in revePlue would be O\'er nnd above any aeross the board income tax cut proposals such as that advocated by Representative Knutson. "The total of $8 billion to $8.5 billion propo~('(1 as tax reduction by Rellfeaentnlive Knutson and thl' majority of his tu study committel' would l'CIIult In a tremendous sla~h in (ederal revenue." declared Mr. \\'011.

A. AttOrding to Section 2116 of the X.E.C., for thb tYlle of occupancy the minimum unit loao.l !<hall be in­crea~ed by 25 per cent, the intent being to limit the loud on the branch circuit to lI('It O,'l'r MO per cent of its canying callacity. This lOamI' rule j", intended to apply where the actual load is giv('n:

On n 115 \'(,It Hi Ilmprre branch cir­cuit, the adunl load would be limited to 12 IImperes or 116 \'olt~ X 12 am­pere5=1380 wattl! 1I11owing 6-200 Wlllt lamps.

On a 120 volt 15 ampere brunch circuit 120 volt~ X 12 amperc!!=l1·IO watts allowing 7-200 watt lamps.

"Thl' United Statel Congrelll having JIlaced unwarrantable and highly de­IItl'uctive limitations nnd relltrictionb upon thl' rights of wage I'arners to volunwry organization and their d­feclive fllnctioning in the indUltrial JUI wt'li BI the legislative and political fields. it II imperative that IRoor, or· klt.ni:ted all well all unorganized. meet thill challenge of unwarrantablE.'

The American Federation of Labor has propo!l(!(\ that the Econ'lmic and Social Council of the United Nationll consider " proposal thal the Unit.ed Nations make Iln illlllliry into IIllIye labor thrOUJ1"hout the world.

The propo!lal Will made by Matthew WolI, ehairman of the internalionlll relutionl committee of the AI~L and a con8ultllnt to the United Nation~.

Estinlllting that at least 10,000,000 perllOnll were held in involuntary serY­itu\lc by HU8llia, Mr. Woll Indicated that the proposal WIIS directed pri· llIarily against Russia.

In lIupporting bis charges againl!lt the totalitarian governments, Mr. Woll made public a photostfltic copy of a hllndbill whieh he said had been pollted by the Czechoslovak Govern­ment in Maehrisch Schoenberg, an in· dustrial districL

The handbilisignNI by an oftlcial of th" "omrc for the Protection of La­bor" said that "alllubjectl5 of Gl'flllan race, regardless of !'eX, over 10 and not over GO yean of age, at preaent living in their hOllle8 UI in Illuol" cllmps" would be linble to compulsory labor.

The handbill further said that "Sa­botage at work, deserting or shirking work or rt'sisting the gUllrda will be mOlt l!('vereiy punillhed, in grave call~ even with the death penalty."

A«arding to Mr. WolI, the ]lropOllal will come before the Economic and Security Council on the Febru.ry 2 meeting. Thc request fol' the United Nationl in\'estigation followlI a('tion by the l!.l ·17 AFL convention in San Francl~co,

If the Com­munists are allowed to gain control in Western Europe, they \"ill not be moved out very eMily.

The Marshall Plan will ('ost ap­proximatcly four billiQn dollurs a )'enr for four years. At itIJ ll<,nk. the lute Will' Cllst UB a qUllrter of II billion dol· lars each day. Thus, the unnual cost of the Marshall Plan-the ('ost of prott"'<'ting our hard-won victory-will not be more than what we willingly Ipent in just ~ixteen days ot war.

The American Fe..ieraliull of Labc:l r eon\'ention state", the ilUlue limply, nnd 1 belie"e, very aIltly. Thill is what the convention. in an unanimous ac· tion, said: "The cost to the American people . .. will be smalI a~ comJlared to the alternative or an unaidNI r:nropl' fRlling under totalital'illn dom· ination, with the ultimate ])()llllibility of war."

America must act quickly, Stalin docsn't wallt us to allprove the Mar­IIhall Plan. It would be criminal Itupidity to heed his counACI.

The Mar~hall Plan, lH"OIllI.Liy put into effect, can po<>;lIibly keep Western Europe free and atop the forward lurge of totalitarian Ilavery. It ma~' IDve us hundredl of billions in dollaI'll and lave the !i,'es of thOUllands of Americans. For all thel!e reallOnll, the worleing people hope partif.mhip wil1 be forltotten by Congr~1I Rnd they will act quickly and fa\'orably on this mOlt vital (Iue!ltion.

Hour Law AUacked (CQllti1lllCd /rfwl/XlflfJ 22 )

proposed amendments I'ai!ing the minimum.

Congress has before it a long list of propo!ed exemptions, Some of theBe groups would be excluded from cov­erage by the act: (arm equipment re­tailers, logging employes, supervisory employes, employes subject to col­lective bargaining, milk processing employes, buyers, service establish­ment employes, ice companies. em­ployes paid 175 per week or more, out­side employes not subject to lIuper­vision. and many other groups.

Another target of attack by anti­labor groups has been the phrase in the law referring to employes "en­gaged in COlnmel'ce or the production of goods for commerce," They aay this phrase has been stretehed out oC the bounds of Congressional intent, but Wage-Hour Administrator William R. MeComb has appeared before the com­mitteie' to defend and explain the workings of the act.

Those who would strengthen the act would use the phrnse "affecting commerce" instead of "en~aged in eommerce," Such a change would add mOl'e thall a million Wag'{!-ellrners to the list now protected by the Fail' Labor Standards law,

The battle on exemptions. lhua comes down to a question of adding exemptions or of removing some. Anti­labor groups would add exem]ltions thereb), taking milliona from under the aet while labor leaders would rf'lI1<Wt exemptions on large groups thereby increasing the number nol\' eovered.

The issues in the battle have emerged as the result of statemenb and testimony by interested groUPS, Labor leaders Ceel that the welfare of all labor rests on the welfllre of the millions or unorganized and unJlI'O­tected as well as 011 the protective achievements undel· the law attained by the organized. It is ne<:essary. therefore. say the leaders, that all labor take an intereat in the wag{'­hour law fight and ad"ise their Con­gressmen and Senators to adopt the reC'ommendations o( the Ameriean Federation of Labor,

Good breeding has enabled Aus­tralia, with about one-sixth of the aheel) in the world, to produce an­nually one-fourth of the world's fine wool supply.

Some 16,000,000 tons of corncobs, now largely wasted in the United Statell each year, could be used to pro­duee 1,500.000 tons of furfural. a chemical widely used in industrial processes.
