REQUIREMENTS INCOME A mass meefing of unions connected with the shipbuilding- industry in Port land was in progress at a late hour last night in the Public Auditorium. It was called to order at 7 o'clock and immediately members of the committee representing the men at conferences with the employers began to lay re ports before the session for consider ation. Although the meeting was called for 1 o'clock, an unusually early hour for Buch a session, large numbers were present and the men exhibited th keenest interest in the procedings. Hav ing been out on strike and therefore having lost their wages for more than three weeks, they exhibited an intense desire to find some way out of the dif ficulties and to return to their positions In the various yards here. This is the most important meeting f union men held during the strike and is, in fact, the only assembly of a Beneral nature of the members of crafts affiliated with organizations en gaged in shipbuilding. It is hoped that out of it may come a termination of the tie-up of the industry. Whether or not the men would be privileged to vote upon the question of returning to work on the basis of the San Francisco wage scale, suggested as a means of compromise by G. Y. Harry, Federal mediator, and accepted virtually intact by the employers, was not known at a late hour, but it was generally believed that the men would demand such action, so they may ex press themselves. There was no picketing at the Port land yards yesterday, according to Captain of Police Moore, who has had supervision of the police end of the strike. A number of the yards are employing new men daily now and it is believed that in one way or another the con struction work will be started on a considerable scale soon, even should the union men remain out on strike. ARBITERS AVILIi BE XAMED Federal Labor Adjustment Board to Finish in Seattle This' Week, SEATTLE, Wash., Oct. 11. (Spe cial.) The Federal Labor Adjustment Board, now in session here, expects to complete the inquiry into the labor troubles of the shipyards and kindred Industries of the Puget Sound district, which also includes the Grays Har bor plants, by Saturday and will pro ceed to Portland immediately there after. The board frankly admits, that no decision is to be rendered at the con clusion of the local investigation, and that none is likely to be forthcoming until the situation in. all the sections where labor troubles exist has been investigated. At today's meeting Chairman Macy, following the conclusion of the ship builders' testimony, announced that the board was empowered to appoint an arbiter to whom will be entrusted the task of examining into the claims of both sides. This arbiter is to be named by delegates from the steel and wooden shipyards- and from the metal and woodworking trades, a joint committee from these to hold a meeting to nom inate the arbiter. The same procedure Is to hold good at Portland, and Chairman Macy asked that the Port land arbiter be named prior to the meetings there. The arbiter selected is to conduct the examination of wit nesses in each locality. All plants on the Columbia River and in Oregon, in cluding those at Vancouver, are in cluded in what the board today desig nated as the Portland district. In the method of procedure the Ad justment Board first hears the claims of the workingmen and opened the hearing here by having the steel ship building conditions presented, first by the Metal Trades Council and then by the employers of that class of labor. Friday the board will commence hear ing the wooden shipbuilding side of the labor problem, and Chairman Macy, after consulting Bruce C. Shorts, attorney for the wooden shipbuilders, and George Sanfacon, of the Ship wrights' Union, said he believed the Seattle inquiry will end Saturday. Ilotel Management Exonerated.

R- Barnes, of Elgin, is attempting in Circuit Court to recover damages for false arrest, and is here on leave from his regiment in New Jersey. Some months . ago he was arrested charged with bringing whisky to Elgin On account of the large number of inquiries coming from persons affected by the provisions of the new war rev enue bill and conflicting statements appearing In the papers from time to time as to what provisions the bill would finally contain. Milton. A. Miller. Collector of Internal Revenue, makes the following statement in order that individual income tax payers in the Oregon district may be better informed in regard to the bill: The new income tax to be assessed under the war revenue bill, which be came effective October 3, 1917, affects incomes for the full calendar year 1917. 1. e., the period from January 1 to December 31, 1917, inclusive, and is in addition to the tax imposed by the existing act of September 8. 1916: Re turns of net income for the year 1917. under the new act of October 3. 1917. are made at the same time as returns under the existing act of September 8, 1916, viz: between January 1 and March 1, 1918. and returns must be filed with the Collector of Internal Revenue by March 1, 1918, unless an extension of time is applied for in writing and gratited by the Collector for cause. The new act reduces the exemptions of unmarried persons to $1000 and re duces the exemptions of married per sons to $2000, so that an unmarried in dividual will pay a normal tax upon his net income in excess of $1000 at the rate of 2 per cent up to $3000 and at the rate of 4 per cent on his net income in excess of $3000, while a married person will pay a normal tax on his net income in excess of $2000 at the rate of 2 per cent up to $4000 and at the rate of 4 per cent normal on his net income in excess of $4000. Surtax Starts at $5000. Under the provisions of the new act the sur. or graduated, tax commences at $5000, while under the existing act of September 8, 1916, only Incomes In excess of $2000 are burdened with the sur, or additional, tax, so that for the year 1917 individuals whose net in come is in excess ofN $5000 will pay the graduated, or surtax, under the sched ule of rates provided in the new act only up to and Including $20,000, and those individuals having a net income in excess of $20,000 are burdened with the sur, or graduated, tax under the combined rates of the two acts. Under the new act returns are re quired of all unmarried individuals hav ing a net income for the year 1917 of $1000 or over and of all married indi viduals having an income of $2000 or over. No withholding of the tax on mis cellaneous income (such as rents, sala ries, etc.) is required under the pro visions of the new act, but remains the same as heretofore under the existing act of September 8, 1916: Income repre sented by Interest upon bonds and mortgages is not subject to the with holding provisions under the new act until on and after January 1, 1918, and thereafter only one 2 per cent normal tax shall be deducted and withheld at the source. The new act does not In any manner take the place of or absorb the exist ing income tax law, but is wholly in addition to the tax provided by the act of September 8, 1916. Table Shows Tax Required. The following table shows the amount of tax required to be paid by individ uals for the year 1917 under the com bined rates provided by the two acts upon the amount of net income shown in the first column.
