AGREEMENT ENDS
3,000 Workers Unanimous
ly Vote to Accept 7-Point
Tentative Pact.
By the Associated Press.
AKRON, Ohio. March 21.—A seven
point agreement settled the Goodyear
Tire & Rubber Co. strike late today
and the company announced that
work would be resumed "as quickly
as possible.”
Company spokesmen said, however,
that full operation will hardly be
under way for more than a week.
The strike threw nearly 14,000 of the
company’s employes oub of work.
A meeting of 3.000 members of the
United Rubber Workers of America
voted almost unanimously to accept
the terms offered by the company.
The settlement terminates the
strike, which was started five weeks
ago In protest over lay-off of 63 men
In the tire-building department. A
picket blockade has prevented any
activity whatever at the three plants.
The union indorsed the strike after
it started. Many of the employes
belong to the Goodyear Assembly,
which the unionists call a "company
union," and leaders of this group had
protested against the strike.
Rate of Output in Doubt.
In a statement, the company said:
"We are expecting to get under way
as quickly as possible. How quickly
* must depend on the condition of our
machinery and stock. It is hardly
likely that full operation will be under
way for more than a week.
“Maintenance personnel and jani
tors will be expected to report for
work Sunday. The office personnel
will report to their present quarters
Monday. Additional departments will
be called by radio or some other
means as rapidly as procedure is de
termined.
"So far as the management Is con
cerned there are no grudges against
any of the employes who participated
in the strike.”
The seven points of the agreement
were:
All employes enrolled as of Febru
ary 12 are to be returned to their
jobs without discrimination.
Negotiations Promised.
The management will meet and
deal .with its employes individually or
through duly chosen representatives
for purposes of negotiation of all ques
tions in which there is mutual interest.
Notice will be given to representa
tives of employes affected of changes
in wage rates before they are posted
or put into force.
The company will observe in the
tire and tube division a 36-hour week
and 6-hour daily shifts. Before any
change is made in working hours,
either daily or weekly, below 30 hours
or above 36 hours per week, it will
be arranged for by a vote of employes
In the departments affected. In all
other departments the hours shall
not exceed 40. nor be less than 30,
per week unless arranged by vote
of employes affected.
A week of 24 hours shall be worked
temporarily in all departments in the
entire factory without a vote, In order
to avoid layoffs.
Lists of contemplated layoffs will
be made in duplicate by department
foremen, one copy being retained by
the foreman and the other kept in the
office of the Labor Department. Both
Smokestack Changes Address
Apparently bored with inactivity, the smokestack atop the
Tolman Laundry store at Sixth and C streets took advantage
of a brisk wind yesterday and transferred to the Police Depart
ment’s garage next door. The 5-foot steel cylinder crashed
through the roof as slick as a whistle and came to rest, a la
Leaning Tower of Pisa style. The second floor was splintered,
but police equipment escaped damage. Two police chauffeurs,
George Stanton and Paul Nicholsen, were on the ground floor
at the time. —Star Staff Photo.
lists will be available lor inspection
by representatives of the employes
affected.

net income in reserves before it would
be taxed as much as under present
law.”
Another set of graduated rates
would be applied, Hill and Vinson
said, to corporations with net income
between $10,000 and $20,000. Using
as an example a corporation with net
! income of $15,000 holding back 30 per
1 cent of earnings for reserves, they said
the corporation would have to pay a
rate of 12 'i per cent on its net
earnings.
Stiff Rate for High Incomes.
A stiller set of rates would be op
erative against corporations with net
income of $20,000 or more.
"A corporation in the higher class."
Hill and Vinson said, “would pay a
15 per cent rate on total net Income
if it held 30 p.r cent of net income
in reserves. Such a corporation could
put nearly 40 per cent of net Income
into reserves before it would pay as
much as the present rate under exist
ing laws.”
It was explained that the proposal
would get away from the “tax on
taxes" by letting a corporation deduct
the amount of Its taxes from net
Income before declaring dividends.
A corporation with $100,000 of net
income, for instance, could plow
back $30,000 Into reserves, pay *7,500
in taxes out of the remaining $70,000
and distribute $62,500 to stockholders.
The plan continues to embrace the
President's suggestion to repeal the
existing exemption of dividends re
ceived by Individuals from the so
called "normal" income tax rates.
Under the proposed new legislation,
stockholders would be required to pay
the “normal" rate of 4 per cent on
money received as dividends as well
as the surtaxes now imposed on such
funds.
March 30 Set as Date.
Although the subcommittee has
reached no conclusions as to the latter
two taxes, members said major hurdles
were behind on the corporation tax
and they expected to file a report late
next week as a basis for open hearings
before the full committee.
Chairman Doughton. Democrat, of
North Carolina coincidentally set
March 30 as the date for starting
such hearings.
These are exected to require at least
two weeks, beginning with testimony
from Treasury officials on the corpo
ration tax angle. After that the com
mittee will require some time to draft
a bill and it may take the better part
of a week for the House to act on It.
Some congressional leaden saw
prospects of a House vote late in May.
Talk circulating in Capitol corridors
commonly placed adjournment around
June 1 at the earliest, a month later
than the original goal of administra
tion chieftains.
Belief Up This Week.
Another key to adjournment
president Roosevelt’s request fortll,
500,000,000 for reUef—will be tackled
this week by the House Appropriations
Committee. Hanging over its path
are strong congressional demands for
money to help flood sufferers and keep
C. C. C. camps at their present
number.
The Senate was primed to start
its fourth day of debate on a (611,
000,000 War Department appropria
tion bill, with a scrap pending over
a motion to reconsider previous re
jection of an amendment to provide
(12,000,000 to continue digging a ship
canal across Florida.
Next In line was the agriculture ap
propriation bill into which some Sena
tors went to Insert funds for the ad
ministration’s tree-shelter belt.
The House, after considering sec
ondary legislation, on Tuesday will
tackle again the controversial Pet
tengill bill to let railroads in some
Instances make substantial reductions
in through freight rates. Present
law requires that such rates shall
not be less than the sum of rates
between all intermediate points.
The Senate's spectacular lobby In
vestigation was marking time indefi
nitely. Pending in the House is a
resolution which would empower the
Lobby Committee to hire attorneys
to carry to the Supreme Court, if
need be, a challenge in the lower
courts of its authority to seize tele
grams.
