Senate Considers Changes In New Tax Revision Bill By JOt; HALL WASHINGTON Sen. George ID-Gn) said today Democrats would fight In the Senate to write new income tax cuts Into a general tax revision bill that already pro vides nearly billion dollars In tax relict for corporations and in dividuals. Ihe bill wus headed for possi ble Senate debate next week after the senate Finance Commlttco yes terday formally approved the 875 page house-passed mensure that would overhaul Uie nation's lax laws for the first time in 70 years. The Democrats on the commit tee had talked of trying to include new Income tax reduction provi sions, but they apparently made no move to do so. : However, George the commit tee's senior Democrat said in an Interview Democratic strat egists have settled on two alter nate proposals tor. lull Senate con. sldcratlon: j 1. To reduce personal Income tuxes $2,400,000,000 annually by a tluo Increase In personal exemp tions. - -. 2. To give each taxpayer a 130 annual income tax credit.. It was estimated this plan would mean a 11,250.000,000 annual tax cut. Chairman Milllkin (R-Colo). of the Finance Committee would 'not comment on proposed amendments, but ho picdlclcd the Senate would Walkouts Hit Fir, Pine Mills Spokesmen for labor and man agement In Klamath Falls would not make any statement Saturday concerning prospects for a lum ber strike In this area. One official representing local lumber concern said; ! "We probably won't know any thing definite nntll Monday.": By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Four thousand CIO Woodworkers struck the huge Weyerhaeuser and Long-Bell sawmills and other plants at Longvtew, Wash., Satur day in the first mass movement of that union to Join AFL workers In a walkout of 135,000 men by Monday. . Shortly after that, CIO locals at Bend, Prlneville and Redmond, In Central Oregon's pine belt, walked out, according to James E. Dicey. CIO-IWA vice president at. Port land. The unions want a 12 li-cent pay boost. - . ,. The CIO-IWA policy committee Friday afternoon set Monday as the strike deadline thus linking firmly with the AFL Lumber and Sawmill Workers who earlier had set the same dateand called on all Oregon and Washington fir belt workers to strike "not later than the first shift Monday' Dicey said. FIR STRIKE CIO pine workers of the Inland Empire, Eastern Oregon and Northern California were not called out but were advised of the strike in fir and were expected to act In accordance with their local situations. If all should go out. the strike would affect more than 150.000 workers in Oregon, Washington, California, Idaho, Montana and Nevada. If only a handful of the CIO pine workers should strike, the total for the region would be cut to about 135,000. Dicey esti mated. - A number of pine operations. especially In northern California, already are operating under re newal of the old contract. The Cen tral Oregon walkout was the first reported reaction from locals not under contract renewal. A Weyerhaeuser official at Ta- coma, reporting the firm's Long view mill picketed, said he expect ed that all those manned by the CIO would be struck by Monday. He said the AFL represents Weyerhaeuser workers at Snoqual mie. Wash., Coos Bay, Ore., and' the plywood plant at Long-view. A negotiation meeting with the AFL at Coos Bay was on the Saturday schedule. . - . SCATTERED WALKOUTS . For more than two weeks there have been walkouts In scattered areas, some of them In support of the pay increase demand and some on local issues. Hundreds walked out in the Coos Bay area Friday. . ... There also have been some settlements. The Lumbermen's In dustrial Relations Committee list ed them Thursday as totaling IT operations employing 4,300 men. Included in this total of settle ments were those In Northern Cali fornia in which employers took over health and welfare financing, a value estimated by union sources at 7 'A to 8 cents an hour and by an employer spokesman at Port land as 4 to 5 cents. The full 12V4 cents was reported accepted by Timber Tech. Corp., an AFL operation near Lebanon, Ore., but ' G. W. Skelton, plant manager, said "a few points" re mained before contract signing. In none of the settlements did there appear to bo a pattern form ing and on Saturday no optimistic comments were available from the industry or the unions.
