SENATE WORKING ON
THE REVENUE MEASURE
Has Already Slashed Millions off the
Schedules Prepared by House
WASHINGTON, D. C„ May 29.—
The Senate is still at work on the
Revenue Bill and has slashed many
millions off the House schedules. It
has eliminated the 5 per cent tax on
gross sales of many industries. It is
thought probable that the Senate will
levy a small tax on all manufacturing
but many of the special taxes will be
cut out of the hill.
