Transit Workers End Stoppage After Quill Plea Union Head Rushed To Hospital Later For an Operation Seven hundred and fifty transit employes, members of the Transport Workers Union, were back on their jobs today following pleas by Michael J.

Quill, head of the union, urging them to end their work stoppage in the shops of the city's unified transit system. Soon after his appeal Mr. Quill suffered an appendicitis attack last night and was rushed to the Sydenham Hospital, Manhattan, where he underwent an operation. HOSpital authorities reported today that his condition was good and that he spent a comfortable night. Following the example of their 2,500 co-workers who staged a stoppage on the I.

R. T. division Wednesday in protest of allegedly inadequate and discriminatory wage increases by' the Board of Transportation, 150 men in the Jamaica shops and 600 in the Manhattan shops at 207th St. were involved in the new stoppages. These stoppages lasted about two hours and the men resumed work after being addressed by union officials.

Mr. Quill spoke at the 207th St. yards and Douglas L. MacMahon, head of the Union's New York local, spoke to those at the Jamaica yards. It was said that the workers were reminded that the Congress of Industrial Organizations had been pledged not to strike in wartime.

The union is an affiliate of the C. I. O. The men were also asked to let the committee appointed recently by the Mayor study their complaints. Union officials said that Mr.

Quill, who has been ill for the past few days, was violating his doctor's orders by being out and addressing his members. -J. F.

Death Tax Is Proposed To Aid Skip-a-Year Plan Washington, Jan. 29 (U.P.)-Congressional advocates of the "skip-year" plan for placing income taxes on a current basis today are proposing a special death tax to prevent loss of revenue to the Government.

The proposal is designed to meet Treasury objections to pay-as-yougo plans that involve forgiving taxes on 1942 income. The death tax would be levied in addition to present inheritance taxes and would be designed to recover at death the amount of taxes forgiven now. This new development came as the House Ways and Means and the Senate Finance Committees began BIRTH. RATE RISING, DIAPER SERVICES AVER, PROTESTING OIL. CUT That new baby is simply going to be out of luck unless the Petroleum Administration rescinds or modifies its order that from Feb.

2 diaper laundries will have their oil supply reduced 40 percent. The National Institute of Diaper Services, central organization for more than 40 laundries that cater to some 200,000 infants all over the country, will appeal from the drastic reduction order. Most of these specialty laundries, according to Thomas J. Skillman, president of the institute, cannot change to coal for technical reasons. On top of that, the birth rate is increasing so fast that the already overtaxed diaper laundries are working long hours, and the baby is further inconvenienced by the fact that a large percentage of mothers cannot do their own household washing because drastic fuel oil rationing has reduced the required supply hot water.

And other mothers rk in defense and war plants and have no time to launder the baby's things. Other laundries will be handicapped as well. and may find it impossible to deliver dried wash, SO that housewives will have to do their own drying in addition to the ironing.

This decision followed extended hearings held in New York during late December, 1942. and early January, 1943. The employes have been on strike since Jan.

The Ways and Means Committee expects to complete action on it this week. Proponents of the death tax claim it would also make unnecessary the Treasury's reported substitute for the "skip-a-year" plan which would cancel 1942 income tax liabilities for those in the first surtax group and write off 19 percent of the taxes on higher bracket taxpayers. The death tax idea originated with Beardsley Ruml, New York banker, who first proposed the plans to write off the 1942 income liabilities under a pay plan.
