It is understood here that 33 factories in one suburb, S8ans, have shut down completely and that other districts are similarly affected. The newest Spanish income tax applies to wages of 3,250 pesetas (roughly $550) a year. Ten days ago, however, the government agreed to go into the question further in response to representatives of the workers' union. It was also agreed to apply the tax only to salaries ex- ceeding 3,250 peset Great forces of police and civil guards have been concentrated to prevent disturbances. The total numher of strikers is estimated to exceed 100,000, 21 Orders Promptly and Carefully Filled The New Coats By Madelon Can Be Wom Now—and For Spring ADELON coats with a hint of Spring in their lighter weaves and brighter colors are here, Coats for sports and coats for dress with the smart silhouettes that fashion has decreed.
