ittle steel formula, called today for ndustry-wide wage increases which t said would cost $207.952 000 anmally and could be granted without

net-easing the price of steel.

A wage boost of 17 cents an hour should be allowed, the union sain, jecause labor has been penalized by igid wage controls while the adminstratum's stabilization program has teen ineffective in other segments

of the nation's economy.

The CIO union’s case was submitted in a 166-page brief to the War Labor Board steel panel at the in-

year than in 1943 because of the manpower shortage, which seriously handicapped production at the nurseries, and the heavy rains and floods last spring, which reduced the supply. Mr. Shaw said the nurseries have been unable in recent years to meet the demand of Indiana farmers and landowners for planting stock. Trees will be shipped direct from the nurseries and will arrive in time

for spring planting.

Mr. Shaw said plans are under way to extend the producing facilities of the state nurseries in order to meet an anticipated increase in the de-

nial hearing on the merits of th>' - — — — USW dispute with 94 steel Compan I mand followin 8: the war. The State ies. The union had 14 demands in Depart ment of Conservation •" “*■

Wage Hike Asked By Steel Workers WASHINGTON, March 24.—(UPi — The United Steel Workers, leading off Uie CIO drive to liberalize the

all. but it focused attention on the 17-cent wage proposal, the basic issue in what has been viewed as a test case to determine the fate of -he little steel formula. In the steel case and a similar one involving the American Federation >f Labor, the WLB has agreed t) heal union arguments against the | government’s existing wage policy. However, WLB Chairman William H. Davis told the Senate banking committee yesterday that the board did not intend to recommend a change in the little steel ceiling if Congress retained the subsidy program to bulwark stabilization po.-

ASSEMBLY ROOM SERVICE You are invited to the regular nonectarian Christian service Saturday evening at 7:30 conducted in the court house assembly room. Many are interested in these services and are willing to take a real responsibility in proclaiming a living Chrst to a dying world. Paul M. Robinson will bring the message on Ihe subject “Five Minutes After Death.’’ II Cor. 5:1 “For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were disolved, we have a building of God, a house not made wilh hands, eternal in the heavens.” ax Forms Mailed By Revenue Office Will H. Smith, Collector of Intern.1 Revenue, announced today that opies of the forms for 1944 Declar--tions ot Estimated Tax have been nailed out to the 400.000 taxpayers vho filed 1943 Declarations in this listriet last fall. The 1944 declarations are due not uter than April 15. Originally clledulcd to lie filed on March 15 long with 1943 tax returns, the 1944 leelarations were postponed until April 15 in order to include provions of the recently-enacted Revnue Act of 1943. The purirose of these declarations, 'ollector Smith explained, is to keep veryone substantially paid up on us income taxes under Uie pay-as-/ou-go plan. Most taxpayers are fept approximately paid up by the ax that is withheld from their wags, and therefore do not have to file leelarations. However, some wage earners— mrticularly clergymen, domestic icrvants and farm laborers do not iay any withholding tax, and are repined to file declarations. Other vage earners pay withholding tax nit not enough to meet their total ax bill and must therefore file decorations. The first quarte/ly installment of alimated tax shown to lie due on the leelaration should he made at the ime the declaration is filed and the emainder should be paid on or beoie June 15, September 15 and De•einher 15. Farmers, who receive more thah 0 per cent of their income from arming, may, if they desire, poslH>ne the filing of declarations until .December 15. However, if they do vail until December 15, the entire •mount of tlie estimated tax must be raid at that time. The forms mailed by Collector Smith include the declaration form tself, which is a short slip .'l-tiXS aches ,and is the only form that iceds to be filed by the taxpayer. Phe form is accompanied, howevet, >y two alternative worksheets for ho convenience of taxpayers. The taxpayer needs to use only one of hen worksheets and should retain t for his personal record. Membei of the armed forces and itbeis who are outside of the conmental United States on April 15 will have the usual extensions or postponements.
