Efforts Made to Break Hartford Strike
Hartford May 25 AP The newly organized mason contractors and plasterers association moved to break the hodcarriers and building laborers union strike by advertising for experienced mason tenders and mortar men for several construction jobs. One ad seeks 100 men to replace strikers who remain behind the union, seeking a raise from 720 to 8 a day. Contractors offer 90 cents an hour for non union help, the same rate paid to strikers. Meanwhile about 500 bricklayers and plasterers union members remain out of work due to the tie up, and full wages may take time to resume.

Revenue collectors to conduct hearings on tax deficiencies
Washington May 2 AP Supervising internal revenue agents are authorized by Commissioner Blair to conduct field hearings on deficiency assessments under the new tax law. Taxpayers receive a copy of the examiner report and proposed charges and have 30 days to respond with a possible hearing. Appeals follow a Washington unit review, with field decisions subject to income tax unit review, and immediate assessments may continue if delay endangers collection. In wilful evasion cases the examiner's report is withheld.
