THE EVENIN ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————ee e STAR. WASHINGTON, 0 2CLMONDAY, JAN UARY LABOR ASKS 1., 0 SHARE RELIEF Leader Holds Shifting of | Burden to States Means Load on Wage Earners. to Congress that the United States Government must not i shirk its share toward relief of unem- ‘ ployment was made today by organized | Jabor outside of the Federal service in | a letter sent to each member by N. P. | Alifas, representing the International Association of Machinists, affliated with the American Federation of Labor. Emphasis is laid in this letter of pro- | test that by approving the amendment made in order by & special rule Satur- day, on the agricultural appropriation bill, and which is to be applied to each of the departmental appropriation bills, Congress would “serve notice on the seven million unemployed and their families, that in so far as the United States Government is concerned, they shall not be employed until at least after July 1, 1933 Sees Greater Buying Power. In urging rejection of the amend- ment, Mr. Alifas calls attention that according to eminent economists “every additional dollar spent by the Federal Government, for useful purposes, will produce in the course of & year five dollars additional purchasing power and conversely, every dollar withheld by the Government will deepen the de- pression by five dollars per year: and | every American citizen denied employ- ment by the Federal Government, will throw out of employment four other men.” Members are warned that the burden of caring for the unemployed falls upon the wage workers. 5 “The workers of the United States, he points out, “including Federal em- ployes, have had already placed upon their shoulders most of the burden of the unemployment situation. The | 7.000,000 unemployed largely belong to poor families or those in moderate cir- cumstances. Hence most wage workers who are fortunzte enough to be work- ing are obliged to support members of their families and relatives until they can secure work. This more than off- sets the moderate lowering of retail prices. If Congress deprives the work- ers of the slight advantage of a lower cost of living, either by reducing wages or curtailing opportunities of employ- ment, an additional heavy blow will be struck the 7,000,000 unemployed and their families. Tax Shift Hurts Workers. “The widespread attempt to shift the burden of relieving unemployment from the Federal Government to the States or local communities again places the burden predominantly on the workers and farmers. State taxes and local taxes are generally based upon property valuation, but not on a graduated scale: o that the working man who owns a home is compelled to pay his propor- ional share of State and local taxes. “On the other hand, Federal taxes are derived largely from incomes in excess of $3,500 a year: therefore, the bulk of wage earners and salaried em- ploves are exempt from income tax. “Let us not, therefore, become con- fused by the cry of ‘saving the tax- payer,’ ‘especially when the taxpayer being saved by curtailing Federal appro- priations, is not the poor man but well to do individuals and corporations. “In addition to the above referred to burdens of working peop's (in being forced to sssume the cost of our un- employment problem), they have been Tibera! in their volunfary contributions to Community Chests, and it is safe to say thst in the aggregate Wage A challenge PRESIDING Of the United States attorney’s AT DINNER | office, president of the Women's Bar Association | of the District of Columbia, who will preside at the annual dinner of the asso- ciation at the Willard Wednesday evening when Vice President Curtis will make the principal address. workers have contributed more than, our well to do and better situated citi- zens. “Wage earners comprise the farmer's principal market. Destroying the far- mer’s market by withholding Federal appropriations used to create purchas- ing power, will not help the farmer, but injure him. While the farmer pays high State and local taxes, his Federal tax is small, and, therefore. very little of the money appropriated by Congress Reupholstering & Repairing Pay a little down when furniture is returned; thereafter a little each month will do ! it N L 5-Plece Parlor Suites—Antiques 3-Piece Overstuffed Suites Dining Room Chairs ~Harris-Ewing Photo. s derived either from the families of farmers or wage earners, even indirect- ly. It is a moot question whether it is possible to pass an income tax back to the consumer.” he Christian era Egyptians sperior to any e world today This has_been revealed by an X-ray study of ERyptian mummies, Wool, Tapestry, Friezza, Brocades and Damask Also Chair Caneing and Porch Rockers Splinted by Our E:- perts at the Now Prevailing Low Prices for Two Days Only. ‘Write, Phone or Call MEtropolitan 2062 or Residence Phone ClLeveland 0430 3721 Porter St, Cleveland Park Estimates and Samples Given Free CLAY ARMSTRONG Upholsterer 1235 10th St. N.W.
