SEAMEN'S OFFICIALS FINED. RETURNS NEVER FURNISHED. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Friday. Four charges of failing to furnish income tax returns for the years 1928, 1929, 1930, and 1931 were admitted in the Magistrate's Court to-day by Maurice Wall and Fenton Patrick Walsh, officials of the Seamen's Union.
