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.

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. Normal and sur
taxes are shown separately and totaled
in the case of married and unmarried
individuals:
