COAL MEN URGE PAY-AS-Y0U-60

~ SECURITY PLAN

. Six Other Sugge: Sitigestiong for Tax Revision Made to U. S. Treasury.

‘WASHINGTON. Nov. 14.—(UP).

—The bituminous ooal industry]

urged today a pay-as-you-go plan for social security, and repeal of the special one cent tonnage tax imposed by the Guffey Coal Act to fiDance minimum price-fixing activies - Executive Secretary John D. Battle of the National: Coal Association submitted his industry’s tax suggestions to Under Secrstary of the Treasury John Ww. Hanes. . |

‘Adds Five Suggestions Other suggestions included:

Federal legislation to permit re-|

ductions in payroll taxes levied by the states for - employment insur- _ ance. A requirement, that employees as well as employers contribute to un- ‘ employment insurance costs. . - Exemption for the coal industry “from the so-called: “unjus: enrichment tax.” Abolition of the capital stock tax. Restoration of the consolidated income return privilege. Cites Importance of Rate “Since the bituminous coal industry is the largest private employer of labor in ‘this country excepting only the railroads,” Mr_ Battle said, “and since more than” 60 per cent of the mining cost is labor payrolls, the very great concern of our industry with the question of payroll taxes arising under the various divisions of the Social Security program is readily apparent. “With the weekly output of bituminous coal currently in excess of ten million tons and with the labor cost per ton averaging not less than $127 per ton—and probably more, the weekly payroll at the mines. is at 1east thirteen million dollars and probably more. Social Security, unemployment insurance and workmens’ compensation when levied upon payrolls so gigantic runs into immense sums and the question of the rate is of immense importance.” z

Almost 40 years in Indianapolis show business—together—is the record of Charles F. Schlegel Sr. and his wife, Goldie. And son Charles F. Jr. hasn't done so badly, either. It was 37 years ago that Mr. and Mrs. Schlegel were married. Mr. Schlegel had been on his own in the business a couple of years before that and at the time they were married he was a property man at English’s Theater. : Mrs. Schlegel lent only moral support for about 12 years. Her husband said he didn’t like her working at all and if she wanted to work he didn’t want her to work where people could talk about favoritism. He was stage manager at the Murat Theater when Mrs. Schlegel started as a dresser at the Murat and at English’s. Sometimes she worked at both places at the same time. She was in ‘charge of as many as 12 girls who dressed and undressed the chorus girls for those quick changes everyone wondérs about. The fastest and most difficult

per.” The girls did a complete change, even to shoes. She remembers she had to carry a washbasket full of shoes down and up the stairs to the regular dressing room. Some shows she liked best were the “Music ‘Box Revue,” “Cocoanuts,” and Earl Carroll's “Vanities.” She quit a few years ago but Mr. Schlegel is still stage manager at the Murat. He just finished one of the most hectic weeks of himlife building sets for the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. i Charles Jr. started as a “clearer” at. English's when he was 15. He took the property off the stage and cleared it for the next act. He was electrician at the Indiana Theater for more than seven years and once went on a two-year tour with Thurston, the magician, as an assistant. “But you can’t get him to say a

Program Outlined : Important business 10: be discussed during the ‘sessions includes: How to insure America’s staying out of war and how to insure a stable, economic adjutsment after the huge demand warring nations are making for agricultural products is stopped. A concise plan to battle any attempts to reduce the Gross Income Tax as it applies tc retailers. Selection of desired legislation to be prepared for by the time the General Assembly convenes. ‘Indiana Farm Bureau officials are anxious to bring before the Hoosier farmers the dangers brought about by the "possible increase in foreign markets. , War Lesson Learned Mr. Foust explained that during the World War farmers increased their acreage and geared their production to meet a tremendous war market. * After the Armistice the farmers were faced with overproduction and an unbalanced plan of operation. “It .is our main objective at present -to stop a repetition ofthis mistake. “Large surpluses are being carried and it would be the height of folly for, farmers fo increase their production in 1940. Any speculative increase in production would result in offsetting any price gains that may come during: the year.” Schenck Will Speak ~~ This year the Rural Youth, an organization to bridge the gap between 4-H clubs and full ‘member-

its convention. Tomorrow’s session will be in charge of the Rural Youth. Following the invocation by the Rev. Glenn Tudor of Martinsville, Governor M. Clifford Townsend will give the address of welcome and Hassil E. Schenck, Farm Bureau president, will present his annual message. Those who will speak at the sessions include Mordecai Ezekiel, U. S. Department of Agriculture; J. S.

Minnesota Farm Bureau, and Earl C. Smith, vice president of the American Farm Bureau Federation. Mr. Smith of Chicago who has been mentioned as a possible candidate for the Republican Vice Presidential nomination in 1940, will discuss the “National Agricultural Program.” * Mr. Smith recently has actell ‘asdadviser for the U.
