"= GROUP IN HOUSE. SCANS TAX BILL

Senate Passes Measure With 25 to 50 Per Cent. Levy on Excess Profits.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 20 (U. PJ). —BSenate and House conferees today prepared to press for acceptance of their versions of the Ex-!* cess Profits Tax-Plant Amortization: Bill which passed the Senate yes terday by a 46 to 22 vote. ! Chairman Pat Harrison of the 8enate Finance Committee said the conferees would meet Saturday to: begin’ adjusting differences.

It also would permit manufacturers participating in the national defense program to amortize plant expansion costs over a five-year period.

By HARRY MORRISON Indiana’s industrial leaders met today to figure out how to make the national defense plan work best in the state. | They are the board of directors of the Indiama : State Chamber of Commerce. They met at the chamber’s office this morning, had luncheon at the Columbia Club and returned to the offices for more discussion. 1 { : Their problems centered about the draft and national defense orders. Specifically this afternoon

1. How to take up slack in normal

— | production caused by unusually

large defense orders. : 2. Setting up machinery to split orders among several plants. Seek “Equilibrium” 3. How to maintain production schedules in the face of the necessity of hiring temporary workers to replace those called by the draft. 4. How to maintain their production equilibrium if the Government insists on its work being done first at all times. They are faced with the knowledge that-Indiana will receive millions of dollars worth of Government orders. Already, with relatively few appropriations made, the State Chamber of Commerce reckons that $30,000,000 worth of orders have been placed in the state. They are armed with statistics

gathered by the chamber showing

that number of industries now producing in the state, their locations, personnel, type of manufacture and relation to freight facilities.

Priorities to Be Discussed

The problem of slack can best be described this way: * 7 A certain factory has been manufacturing a certain product at a certain rate of production. A

Government order takes up 25 per|

cent of its capacity. How, in a short time, can orders be routed so that the ordinary demand and Government orders can promptly be filled. The problem of temporary workers was expected to be mostly in unskilled labor or clerical work and thus would be under less in-

tense discussion than Government % On that subject the: Government’s insistence on its work |:

priorities.

being done first—almost all of Indiana’s large industries are expected to work out some form of co-opera-tion, both with the Government and among themselves, so as to make industry work as smoothly as possible. i Reports to Be Made
