Show CORSETS UNDERWEAR? TAX RULING SOUGHT NEW YORK. May 2. Are corsets un- ' derwear? This problem was put up to- day to Conimissioncr of Internal Revenue Hoper by Lew Ilahn, executie secretary; of the Iletail Dry Coeds' association. i The new luxury tax is the cause of the i difficulty. An unofficial ruling has de- ; clared that corsets are underwear, Mr. Ilahn says, and a luxury and taxable. Some merchants are collecting tho tax and others are not, and Mr. Hahn appeals to Commissioner Koper to put corsets in their proper place officially. |
