news FROM OUR
NATIONAL CAPITAL
Democratic Party Leaders Are
Divided On Appropriation
Question

Washington.-The general problem
Of Democratic appropriations was TAX
en- up in a conference of Democratic
advocates of economy. The action OF
the house naval affairs committee,
wher the Democrats. after an all-day
conference. failed to reach an agree
ment to cut down the s146,000,000 to
be carried by the naval appropriation
bill. was the principal subject OF dis
cussion by the 60 members OF the
house who are determined upon econo-
my.
The party leaders are greatly dis
turbed by the split in the house on
the question of appropriations. The
appropriation bills, according to Re
preventative Fitzgerald. of New York,
chairman OF the appropriations COM
mittee. will place the country's expen'
ditures at q point higher than has yet
been reached, and economy advocates
declare that the appropriations OF this
congress will be at least $10O,000.0oO
over the billion mark.
The Democrats who are opposed to
the two battleship programme declare
that unless the amount carried by the
naval bill is materially reduced they
will prosecute q filibuster which will
prevent the passage of the bill at this
session.
Would Bar Strike by SEEKING Roads
The threatened tieup of 81 eastern
railroads by the proposed strike OF
firemen was the basis Of a resolution
for government ownership OF these
railroad properties, introduced wnen
the house assembled by Representa-
tive Berger.
Bergers resolution proposed that In
case of a strike and tie up OF the rail-
way system for more than q week, the
president of the United States should
be empowered to seize the railways
with all their terminals, belt lines
lands, coal mines. workshops and otn
er properties ON the ground of public
emergency, and his right of eminent
domain and to manage and operate
them through the post office depart
ment until congress should create
