$29500 IS DECENCY MINIMUM, ASSERTS WAGES PROPONENT (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, May 8. A minimum of $2,500 a year is necessary for the support of an American family of five, W. Jett Lauck, consulting econo mist for the railroad brotherhoods, asserted today before the Railway Labor board. Mr. Lauck, who yesterday charged corporate profiteers with being chiefly responsible for the present living costs, presented today a demand on behalf of the 2,500.000 railway employes for the establishment of a minimum wage throughout the industry. He presented to the board a compilation of budgets on the cost of living based on Btudies made under his supervision and by federal and state agencies. "It is Impossible," he said, "for a family of five in the United States to maintain itself even in decent poverty under existing conditions for a penny less than $2,500 a year." Supported by Statistics. j His estimate, he said, was supported by government agencies and quoted the estimate made by Professor Royal S. Meeker, commissioner of labor statistics in August, 1919. The estimate was $2,262. The estimate for May, he insisted, should be $2,533. Mr. Lauck in his statement declared that the fundamental cause of all economic instability, all industrial unrest, all interruptions of production and distribution, has been high prices and profiteering by organized capital and middlemen and retailers. In concluding, the brotherhood spokesman requested that the board curtail Its examination of wage data and proceed immediately to the determination of the question of what constitutes a living wage.

Logan, internal revenue collector, submitted the following letter Saturday: "Dealers In articles taxed by Sec. 907 of the act of February 24, 1919, should note the latest United States Treasury decision in relation thereto. The following is the text of the decision: "The tax imposed by Sec. 907 of the
act of February 24, 1919, attaches upon the sale of each of the articles enumerated therein, and where two or more taxable articles, either of the same kind or of different kinds, are sold at the same time, the tax is based upon the selling price of each taxable article sold, except that where two or more taxable articles of the same kind are prepared and put up by the manufacturer in a container, carton or sealed package, for sale as an' original package, and are sold by the vender in this form, the tax at taches to the selling prices of such package as a unit of sale. "For example, if a purchaser buys

in the perfume 3 cents, a total of 5 cents. The tax is not 4 cents computed upon $1.00, the total amount paid by the purchaser. If toilet pow der sells for 10 cents a box and a purchaser buys one box, the tax is one cent; if two boxes are bought the tax Is 2 cents, 1 cent for each article, although the total amount paid is 20 cents, and if he buys three boxes the tax is 3 cents. If three boxes are sold for 23 cents the tax is 3 cents, 1 cent for each art- j icle and not 1 cent on the basis of the J 25 cents paid. If six taxable articles 1 of the same kind, selling singly at 10 cents apiece, are put up by a manufac-! turer in a container, carton or sealed package for sale as a unit, and are sold by the vendor as an original package for 50 cents, the tax is 2 cents, the package being the unit of sale to the purchaser."
