ORGANIZATION IS DEFERRED
COURT OF CUSTOMS APPEALS
TO WAIT AWHILE.
Provision for Members Pay Strick-
en- Out in Conference Over
Urgent Deficiency Bill.

The court of customs appeals provided
ganized before the beginning of the next
session of Congress. The question Of
making appropriations for payment Of
salaries of judges and officers of the court
has been under consideration by the
conference committee Of the two houseg
OF Congress on the urgent deficiency ap-
preparation bill for the past two or three
days. and when the conference adjourned
at noon today the provision had been
stricken out.
1t was the contention of several of the
members of the conference that in real
ity there was no demand for the court,
while others took the position that il Or
ganized at all the organization should he
postponed long enough to permit BUSH
ness conditions to adjust themselves I'M
der the new tariff and to afford the Presi-
dent more time to look the field over
before making his selections for thd
court.
mother reason for the pOstponement is
found in the fact that there was desire
not TO have the court begin business on
the reduced salaries proposed in the APP
preparation bill. and those who held this
view were willing the subject should 90
over until next session i'll the hope Of
getting the higher salaries. The tariff
bill provides $4,000 each for the judges,
and it was proposed to reduce them to
$1,000.
mendations of the committee will be ac-
cepted by the two houses.
The provision for automobiles for the
Vice President and the Speaker of the
House of Representatives is retained in
the bill.
