Taxes Sought on Whisky Shipped During Prohi bition Period. By the Associated Press. Conferences have been initiated secretly here, designed to settle trou bles arising from a threat to bar shipments of liquor into this country by four Canadian firms unless they pay taxes on whisky sent across the border during prohibition. Into the talks have come considera tion of the effect such action would have upon the recently concluded trade agreement between the United States and Canada. The quiet negotiations were begun last Monday after the Canadian gov ernment had protested against a bill pending In the House to ban imports from liquor firms against which tax claims have been filed unless those firms agree to submit the tax claims to the courts. Treasury and Justice Department officials and representatives of the Canadian liquor firms are engaged in the discussions and hope was ex pressed yesterday that a compromise might be reached early next week. The Treasury last night refused to give any information about the out of-court negotiations except to con firm that the conferences were now In progress. The names of the concerns and the amounts involved were not made pub lic. Canada protested against a bill by Representative Doughton, Democrat, of North Carolina, which was intro duced as an administration measure after the tax unit of the Treasury was reported to have been unsuccessful in pressing its claims against the four Canadian firms. The protest was made after liquor Interests in that country argued that passage of the bill would greatly re duce exports of whisky to the United States, their best customer, and miti gate the beneficial effects of the trade pact. The Canadian protest was under stood to have pointed out that the pact pledged equality of treatment to Canadians and to have suggested that the bill would violate the spirit of the agreement by discriminating against Canadian firms. Under the pact, the duty of Cana dian whisky was reduced to $2.30 per gallon and trade figures show a con siderable increase in liquor Imports from that country since it was signed. The State Department opened the discussions with the Treasury. P.W. A. EMPLOYMENT RISES IN MARYLAND Almost 700 Added to Rolls in Four Weeks—Continuous In crease Seen. By the Associated Pres*.
