The President desired merely to call the attention of the congressional leaders and the chairmen of committees at- tending the breakfast to the fiscal con- dition of the Treasury. ‘Touch on Tariff Bill. ‘The situation regarding the tariff bill, Wwhich was considered at a White House breakfast given by the President to the Senate and House leaders, was taken up today only incidentally, it was said. ‘Those attending the breakfast were: Benator Watson of Indiana, the Senate Republican leader; Chairman McNary of the Senate agricuiture committee, Chairman Jones of the Senate appro- THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, st An unemployment demonstration at the Chicago City Hall was broken up by mounted police, who rode through the Some of the cracked heads were those of noon hour luncheon seekers.

Speaker Longworth, however, was a guest of the President at luncheon to- day, having returned to Washington too late to attend the breakfast. It is understood that the President went over much the same ground with the Speaker as with the other Republican Jeaders this morning. Tariff Jam Halts Passage. ‘The House has already passed and t to the Senate seven appropriation ls during the present session of . It has three more of the annual supply bills to pass and prob- ably another deficiency bill. Owing to the legislative jam over the tariff bill, not one of these bills has been taken up for consideration in the Senate yet. ‘The President’s warning regard the Govemament’s finances was in ef- fect- & warning to the Senate not to add to the total of the appropriation bills passed by the House, and to the House to keep the appropriation bills still to come down to the budget limit. Of the seven appropriation bills now waiting action in the Senate, four are on the Senate calendar, having been reported favorably from the l;:lpmpm- tions committee. They are the Agri- culture, Treasury and Post Office, State, Justice, Commerce and Labor and first deficiency bills. The Interior Depart- ment bill, the first to be sent to the Senate by the House, is still awaiting consideration in committee because Sen- ator Smoot, who is handling the tariff bill on the floor of the Senate, is chair- man of the subcommitteer of the appro- riations committee in charge of that . He has been unable to give the time necessary to its consideration in committee. Tariff Prospects Brighter. ‘The War Department bill, also passed by the House, is awaiting the return of Senator David A. Reed, chairman of the military affairs committee, from the London Naval Conference, where he is serving as a member of the Ameri- can delegation. The seventh bill sent the Senate by the House, the first deficiency bill, has just been received and is before the appropriations com- mittee. ‘The prospects for early action on the tariff bill have brightened in the last few days, it is said, and the President ‘was 80 informed today. He has been apprehensive that the appropriation bills might be so delayed as to make it embarrassing for the Government. The expectations are, however, that all the bills will be put through in time to take care of the Government’s needs. Tilson Gives Opinion, Representative Tilson, following the ‘White House conferencé, said that every appropriation proposed would be carefully scanned in the House and that economy in Government appropriation would be the rule in the House. Senator Watson said, too, that every effort would be mede to keep appropriations down in the Senate. Senator Smoot declared that if strict observance were not given to the budget estimates and appropriations limited, it would be necessary to increase taxes next year to meet a deficit. All expressed the opinion that the ‘White House conference would have a good effect and call the attention of Congress and the country to the need for economy. ‘The budget estimate sent to the Con- gress by the President when the session opened last December called for a total appropriation of $3,830,445.231.

Copyright, 1830. VIENNA, Austria, February 24.—Both of the orthodox churches in Jugoslavia and Bulj a have thrown their influ- ence h the world-wide reaction against what is regarded as an un- merciful drive against religion and con- fiscation of church buildings in the So- viet Union. ‘While Soviet leaders exhorted the red army in the war on religion in Russia yesterday the Jugoslavs prayed for their persecuted brothers. Protest was sent to all Greek orthodox churches, and also to the Archbishop of Canterbury, urg- ing that the world “unite to help end the martyrdom of the Russian people, which is greater than the suffering of the early Christians.” Orthodox churches in Bulgaria also held protest services. Boviet dispatches meanwhile deny that all churches are being closed in Russia and declare that more than 300,- 000 edifices are still open.
