FeSPIE $000 m0 \ i OUT NN APPROPRATIONS BY HOUSE Increase$ by ‘Sinite Senate and New Demands Expected to Re- ! duce “Saving” by Half, WITH BONUS TO COME. ‘Big Slash Made in Army Esti- mates Shows ‘Economy Idea Gaining Ground. By Martin Green. (Special Staff Evening World WASHINGTON, April 14—The ar- ‘wival tn tte House yesterday, from the Military Affairs Committee, of the Army Appropriations bill marked the practical completion of com: mittee work on twelve of the thir teen big appropriation measures. Thy House ‘how sees ‘its way clear to carryout the programme which call: for: euttitig $1,250,000,000 or mor fram the estimates of the Govern ment Departments, but that doesn’t necessarily mean any reduction i taxation, because mountains of addi tional demands are ri horizon as Congress closer to adjournment. approache Up to this time the committecs House bills varrying appropriations aggregating demands on the items reported amounted to Yiave reported to the $1,719,129,924. The original about $2,716,229,000. The apparen' saving by cutting appropriations | $997,100,000. The Senate Appropria. tions Committee has touched only two of the big bill; and action by the whole Senate is waiting on all of them. In the two bills which have “2gone to the Senate side the House recommendations have been increas ed to the extent of $49,000,000, which cuts the apparent House saving down fo about $950,000,000, It 1g anticipated that the Senate will spend a jot of time on the peace resolution and delay final action on the Appropriation Dilis. The forthcoming bonus bills also; threaten to cause delay b eauge the differences of opinion as 4 the way the bonus should be paid to soldiers, and the way the billions required shall be raised are sharp and growing violent. BONUP_ PLANS ARE LIKELY TO CAUSE LONG FIGHT.

By Diwid Lawrence (Special Correspondent lof The Eve- ning World.) WASHINGTON, April 14. (Copy- right, 1920).—President Wilson's meeting with the Cabinet for the first time in nearly eight months has had a favorable effect ‘entirely apart from the confidence it has in- stilled that the Government is tak- ing hold of the menacing situation caused by the “outlaw” strike of rail- way employees. The mere fact that in a crisis the Chief Executive was able to confer with the heads of the ten depart. ments of the Government served to brush aside, for the moment at least, thoughts of the physical incapacity of the President. But much more important than the outcropping of industrial revolt is the return to a realization here that in the last seven or eight months the Government, both in its legislative and executive branches, haa done nothing to cure the economic ills of the country which have made possible the organization of a strike among so many railroad employees, MEASURES UNDER CONSIDERA- TION ARE MERE EXPEDJENTS, True enough the Cabin is con- sidering repressive measures, pro- posals by Which.the power of the law shall be invoked against, those who have to re transpo Of food fo et - can people, but that is simply @ eur- face expedient designed for moral effect to prevent the growth of in- dustrial lawlessness, Every thember of the Cabinet is aware, as is the President himself, that industrial disturbances in the United States are not alone due to the operations of “radicals” but that a cure must ‘be found for the system which makes it possible for radicals demagogues to harangue work- men and obyiin their support for strike tactics and rebellion against the veteran leaders of organized labor. It all gets back to the high cost of living with which the Government has wrestled in vain. The Execu- | tive points a blaming finger at the legislative, where for months the pro- posals of the President to curb profi- teering and cut out the wbuses of certain intermediate processes be- tween producer and consumer have not been acted on any more than the suggestions of the Secretary of the Treasury that some of the bad fea- tures of the present Revenue Laws be wiped off the statute books. More and more is official Washing- ton coming to the belief that the ex- cess profits tax is the foundation stone of the high cost of living. And now on top of it all Congress is pro- posing to add $1,000,000,000 in costs in order to satisty the soldier vote and to meet that increase it is seri- ously being urged that a tax of one and one-half per cent. on all sales shall be added to the confusion of the present taxation system without re- moving any of the inequities in the tax provisions that already exist, STRIKE BRINGS OUT FACTS ABOUT COST OF LIVING. The railroad strike has accentuated the relationship between the high cost of living and industrial chaos. Samuel Gompers and the veteran leaders of the railroad brotherhoods are emphatic in their claims that the executive branch of the Government ignored their warnings about the de- mands of the employees, and tt Congress gave evidence in the rail- road legislation that {t would not heed the warnings against radical- ism which Mr. Gompers and his as- sociates fe ‘ed. To-day the Government finds itself working side by side with the con- ative leaders of union labor to in- e 8 0 t is if h| d n| od | n a n n <leanen, There was not a speck of | fluence the striking workmen to come dust in the apartment. great. In the evening, impelled b: sheer happiness, Mrs. Sour sat dow “at the piano and began to play, A moment later out of the kitche came Mary, with tears of affection i her eyes. She threw both arms aroun her mistress and begged: “Oh, sweetheart, play something sen- | timental!”" Mrs. Sour fled. She got Patrofma Cannan of the West 100th Street Sta- tion. He found the door locked ani Mary wouldn't open it. He broke tock, and there was Mary, than ever, with a bottle nearly empty by this time.

ANTLSTRIKE PLEA IN PAY ENVELOPES OF BROOKLYN MEN Chamber of Commerce Warns Rail Tie-Up Threatens to Leave 100,000 Idle. In the pay énvelope of practically every employee of Brooklyn industrial plants on the next pay day there will be, in addition to the usual amount of: money, an appeal to the men to protect themselves by protecting the source of their own pay. ‘The appeal was framed by a com- mittee of the Broklyn Chamber of Commerce last night. It: deals with the railroad strike, calls attention to its Inwless character and to the disastrous effect it promises to have. It was estimated by experts that if the strike lasts two weeks longer there will be between 60,000 and 100,- 000 Brooklyn - workmen idie, simply because their employers cannot use them without railroad facilities. Lack of raw material and storage space for finished goods’ that ought | to be shipped will cause the closing | of factories. Dozens of speakers, senting a big industrial testimony like that. It was a meet- ing of the whole Chamber, and a committee of five was appointed to plan for action. The Intertype Corporation, tm- Ploying 850, reported that it could) not run more than ten days unless it} gets more new material. The Jobn- son Lumber Company called atten- tion to the lack of material for house building and for packing cases. The Monotype Corporation, employing 3,- 0, declartd that relief must come in four days. ‘The National Lead Company said it might have to close one department to-morrow and the rest in two weeks unless there is relief. The Kalb- fieish Manufacturing Company is trucking from 30 to ‘60 miles, but it Jacks raw materia] and storage space for finished products. These are samples. There were many more witnesses who told sim- ilar stories. The strike was de- nounced as lawless and the railroad managements were urged to fiht it to a finish. And the employees were urged to fight just as hard, because, it was said, their danger is as great as anybody's. NOTABLES ON LA FRANCE.
