- SECURITY TOTAX BONUS AND RAISES Increase in Unemployment Levy Receipts Is Assured. An appreciable increase in the un- employment compensation tax re- ceipts of the Natidn is being assured by the steady stream of Christmas bonuses and pay increases, it was dis- closed today with an interpretation that remuneration is taxable under the unemployment compensation pro- vision of the social security law. Added to the basic wages paid, all such holiday awards actually given during the present calendar year in industries coming under this provision of the act will be taxable at the rate of 1 per cent. For the United States as a whole, this_condition ap- plies only to employers of eight or more persons, but to the District it applies to employers of one or more. Create Tax Revenue. Thus, business concerns possessed of both profits and Christmas spirit are caught “in the middle” as far as the tax collector is concerned. Facing the new high rates on profits, they also find that distribution of the money to employes leaves them open to another levy. At the District Unemployment Com- pensation Board, it was said that con- siderably higher returns are expected for the cwrrent month as a result of the many bonuses by District con- cerns while estimates of the 1937 tax revenue are being revised upwards because of continuing pay increases. No dollar estimate has yet been made on these increases, it was said, since most of them will be reflected in De- cember returns. Swells Old-Age Taxes. By the same interpretation, the tax returns for the Federal old-age bene- fits program will be swelled by any gifts to employes during coming years. In this case, both employers and employes are contributing, and extra remuneration will have double action | in swelling the old-age reserve ac- counts. The old-age tax, of course, does not apply to individual income over $3,000, only that basic amount being taxable. Taxable wages for these two pro- visions of the social security act are defined as follows in the act: “* ¢ ¢ All remuneration for em- | ployment, including the cash value | of all remuneration paid in any me- dium other than cash.” Income from other sources than an employer, such as tips received by waiters from customers, do not come under the tax provisions.

Grayson, President Roosevelt's choice for chair- man of the Inaugural Committee, and Marvin Mclntyre, secretary to the President, were to confer today with Vice Prestdent Garner concerning ar- rangements for the mauguration. Admiral Grayson has been reluctant to accept the chairmanship because of pressure of business at the Red Cross, of which he is national chairman. It has been indicated the President will try to prevail on Grayson to undertake the additional work because of his experience and fitness. Delay in appointment of the in- augural chairman has resulted in de- lay of determination of details of the program January 20, Some of these details probably will be discussed at the conference today with Garner. In the meantime, Maj. Ernest W. Brown, superintendent of police, is going ahead with plans for protecting the huge crowds expected. Nearly 300 police officers will be en= Maj. Gen. James C.

BS tho Associated Press. READING, Pa., December 10.—The American Federation of Hosiery Work- ers obtained release of six young women imprisoned in Berks County Jail as “lie-down” pickets to escape what the union called a “campaign of terrorism being carried out against | the strikers at the Berks Prison.” The union, through Herbert Payne, district manager, paid the women's fines last night after asserting that the strikers imprisoned were being | forbidden “many privileges which nre1 extended even to the hardened felens.” ‘The women were among the pickets | arrested at the strike-affected Berk- shire Knitting Mills last week. They were the only women pickets left at the jail, all others having been trans- ferred to the prisons of four neigh- boring counties. { At Allentown two girl pickets held | in the Lehigh County Jail after the | Berks Prison became " overcrowded | were released when friends paid their | fines. Twelve other women remained, 21 days to go. CHRISTMAS GIFTS AT LOW PRICES _75¢ 75¢ 89c 75¢ 95¢c 95¢c.
