DEMOCRATS ADOPT
ECONOMY PLANS
No Appropriations for Battle
ships or Public Buildings at
This Session Of Congress.

Washington. Jan. 29.-There will be
no appropriations for battleships or
public buildings at this session Of Con-
gress. This was the decision Of the
democrats of the House after a spirit
ed caucus tonight. Elimination of
battleship appropriation was sur
prise the caucus having been called
for the purpose Of considering a s16,-
100000 public building BILL recon-
mended by the committee on publie
buildings and grounds Representa-
tive Burnett Of Alabama. however, Of
fered amendment to a resolution to
dispense with the public buildings bill
that no battleship appropriation be re-
ported to the House.
Representative Hobson of Alabama
headed a bitter attack on the amend.
ment but II was passed. 80 to IS.
The saving resulting from this action OF
the caucus is estimated by the democratic
leaders to aggregate about $40 900. 900, sea-
900 900 to be required for two modern bat
| tleships and $4,000. 900 for public buildings
In the case Of public buildings. however,
there may be some appropriation for
emergencies.
After the caucus 1t was declared that
the cutting off Of the battleship appro
priation was forced by members who were
piqued by their defeat on the building
appropriation. Representative Hobson
and others who championed two-battle-
ship program announced that a petition
| for a special caucus on the battleship ap-
preparation would be circulated at once
among the democratic members and that
! 1t would contain an appeal to resCind to-
nights action.
The issue was preciptated by Rep
resentative Fitzgerald of New York.
chairman OF the appropriations COM
mittee. who introduced a resolution
that the state Of the government fin
ances did not Justify a public building
bill. Mr.. Fitzgerald said that 1t would
be impossible for the government ar
chitects to begin work on any new
plan for two years, and that 1t would
, be three years before any new con-
structing work could be on the way
The caucus was by no means har-
monious. members from the country
districts pleading the necessity of
such bill to safeguard the welfare of
the party In the approaching cam
paign. Majority Leader Underwood
controverted the argument of the
public building champions. He warn
lcd that to saddle the treasury with a
$4,000 900 charge at this session
would be too apparent an effort to
court favor without sincerity. Speak
err Clark was OF the mind
