Union leaders deny blame for 1919 Boston strike
The speaker and Amalgamated Association officials explain efforts to avoid a strike during the Boston Elevated episode in 1919.

Income tax bills by Commissioner Long move through House
Henry F Long commissioner of corporations and taxation has filed two bills now before the House rules committee. One reimposes a special one per cent tax for revenue while the general income tax remains at one and a half per cent on incomes over two thousand dollars. The other lowers exemptions from two thousand single and three thousand married with two or more children to fifteen hundred and twenty five hundred respectively. If approved the extra tax may be avoided, possible revenue gains would shift more income into taxation. The taxation committee has not set a hearing date but will rule within days.
