More playgrounds for the children of Washington may be established on some of the government reservations around the city through the co-opera- tton of Col. Clarence O.

Sherrill was unable fo say to- day how many additional play spaces he could loan the city or where they might be located “The plan is in a very tentative form.” said the colonel. “and I do not know at this time just how extensive it may be.

While party leaders differ regard- ing reductlons In _the appropriations fer-the current fiscal year, they seem agreed that there is A tremendous !deficit facing the taxpayers during | the next fiseal year. Chairman Maat | den of the House appropriations com | mittce suys there is “an indicated | deficit of $697,000.000.” Representa- tive Joseph W.-Byrnen of Tennessee, ithe ranking democrat on the appro- i printioris committee, says it will ron lup to $900,000.000 If the soldlers’ {bonus, ship subsidy and other bills i{now being pushed by the rapublican {majority are passed. Representative Madden of Illinois and Senaler Warren of Wyoming, chairmen respectively of the House and Senate appropriations commit. tees, in_heir annual reviews of the appropriation bills, claimed that a cut-to-the-bone republican policy had iresulted in economies reducing the | appropriations $830,000,000.

They “pointed with pride” to ihis rdeuction, but Representative Hyrns declared it was unfair to com- pare 1923 appropriations with those 0£.1922, and that a comparison with a pre-war year would be more fllum- inating. Representative Madden's statement =aid such & comparison would te unfair because post-war labilities had caused mounting ex- penses. “The reductions appropriations and consequent reductions in ex- renditures have made posrible a most gratifying reduction in taxe! Representative Madden. “The of reduction for the calendar year 1921 Is approximatelr $80,000,000, and the rellef to the taxpayers for the calendar year 1922 is estimated at not less than $850.000.000." Blamed for Deficit. Representative Byrnes declared that “the republican party has not kent vernment on a ‘pay-ax-you-go' " and the prospective deficit, he ‘could never be satisfactorily cxplained in the coming congres- sional elections.” Senator Warren said “a cut-to-the- bone cconomy” was the outatanding feature of the 1923 appropriations, and he called attention that ordinary government receipts lasat year ex- ceeded ordinary expenses by 3313, 801,651, while the public debt was reduced $1,014,068,844. Regarding the prospective deficit for e 3, Representative Madden safd ere was indfcated deficit of $697.000,000." “This figure would be more impres- sive if the record of 1922 were not so freshly in mind,” he added. “I feel certain that the efforts of the Prexi- i | H i 3 officers, wiil be able materially to re- duce this anticipated deficit.” When Chairman Warren read his ; statement to the Senate it was at- tacked from the democratic side by Senator Overman of North Carolina, ranking minority member of the Sen: ate committee. and.Senator Robinson |of Arkansas. "Senator Overman cri:i- |clzed the republican comparison of ap- propriations this’ year with those of Iast vear, and =aid he was preparing a statemont comparing the 1923 appro- priations. made three years after the war, with those of 1915, three years prior to the war. | ., Senator Robinson called attention to { “the large deficlency appropriation, and said that Senator Warren's staf ment might not bé accurate because additional deficiencies were in prospect. | TSR {JAPAN MAY PURCHASE i i ISLAND OF SAKHALIEN IEmpemr Reported Considering Of- fer to Buy Territory From | Russia.

July 13.—Detatls of the arrangement ‘which Clerks’ Unlon agresme stood R e Rahiroad Labof with the RAIL STRIKE END 15 BELIEVED NEAR Optimism Rules—Truce at Least Expected Before Saturday. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. An umswerving optimism that tha rallroad strike will be settled or at least a truce arranged befors the end of the week geems to pervade the executive branch of the government, while Congress, with a meager at- tendance, reveals little concern one way or the other. President Harding is not directly a party to the many negotiations which are going on informally among rail- Toad men, but he is kept constantiy informed. While there is a diffir ence of opinion among labor leaders as to the wisdom of that part of 1t President’s proclamation which ¢n- deavors t give the United States Railroad Labor Board the prestige a suthority of law by referring to. it ax “the agency of the government,” there is mo dispute as to the power of the chief executive to use the Army necessary to prevent interruption 1o interstate commerce. whether the malils or private property of any kind are carried. Board's Position Streagthemed. The position of the Railroad Labor Board has. on the other hand. been immeasurably strengthened by the statement of the raflroad executives to the effect that they cannot enter into any negotiations with their men but that the decision of the Raliroad Labor Board is final. This is an in- teresting and hopeful development as viewed here, for it means a long step toward industrial peace. Heretofore bor leaders have felt justified oTing the decisions of the Labor Board by the strike method. chfefly because of & conviction that the rail- ves were not obeying the decisions of the board ; the railroad executives of the finali of the United States Labor Board's decisions is regarded here as an im- portant precedent, which will mak~ it difficult for the railroada er on to defy the board on matters wh appear to favor the employes Ome Line of Attack. From the very beginning the Pres - dent has kept to one line of atiack. namely, the maintenance of the Labo Board, as the all powerful agency of ve which there was Congress throughout all not intend that any- government & no appea! its d and purposely omitted the matter of penalties, be- lieving that public_opinion would comrol obedience. Mr. Hardling Is | relying. of course, on public opinion. but there is a feeling in labor circles that he stated erroneously the true power of the Labor Board, when he attempts in his_proclamation to glve to the Labor Board's decitions the welght of law, and when he gives the impression that in striking against a decision of the board the men _are in_effect striking agains: the United Statés government. The truth !a nowhere in the transporta- Aon act does the Labor Board have wers of compulsory arbitration. 'he governmenmt, however, has full power to protect any workers who do accept the decisions of the board. To this extent any interference with in- terstate commerce can be prevented and leaders and werkmen jatled if they prevent others from taking jobs in conformity with the Labor Board's awards. Untenable Dectrine. ident could have strecsed of law-breaking even more I|‘ and kept within the of the federal statutes. but jlabor leaders, among them Samuel Gompers, insist that Mr. Harding's | prociamation contains an untenable doctrine, It is recognized, however. that if the raflroad strike is settled directly or indirectly without serious {challenge to the authority of the Labor rd, an important advance will have been made and the princi- ples expressed by the present chief executive will grow in weight later on. Once the railroad employes de- cide to accept the decisions of the United States Labor Board final they will In turn compel the railroads to do likewise or forfeit the support of public opinion, which makes itsell feit more readily with the railroad exeécutives because of the influcn. .+ of the government apon the thr sands of r&o le and vAaried intcrest: whose collective power affects rall- road management. The way out for the railrond emn- ployes is to accept the decixion of the Labor Board with A request foi recons tion. This may er may not be granted by the board. If it is granted it would mot commit the board to modification, but would &f- ford the labor leaders an opporiuvnity to resume negotiations and ¢nd the strike without seeming 1o have won or lost.
