National Budget
Bill Approved by
Senate Committee
Measure More Sweeping
Than That Passed by
House Last Year Will
Be Introduced This Week

WASHINGTON, April 11-A bill
providing for a national budget system
will be presented to the Senate this
week by Senator Mccormick, Republi-
can, of Illinois, chairman of special
committee assigned to the subject sew
eral weeks ago. The plan proposed
was adopted unanimously by the COM
mittee, Senator Mccormick said to-
night, and is "more sweeping" than that
outlined by the House budget bill, passed
last year.
Responsibility for fiscal matters is
largely vested in the Secretary of the
Treasury by the Senate committee plan,
the Senator said, adding:
"While the measure reserves to the
President the power to revise and con-
troll the terms of the budget, it is the
hope of the members of the committee
that in the actual working of the pro-
posed law this power would have to
be exercised but seldom, and that the
Secretary of the Treasury, together
with the Commissioner of the Budget,
would assemble, revise and prepare all
estimates of expenditures for the gov
ernment."
Other departments would be re-
ouired, under the proposed plan, to
submit estimates for expenditures in
the ensuing fiscal year to the Budget
Bureau of the Treasury Department
before October l every year. The
bureau would compile and submit these
estimates with it's recommendations to
the Secretary of the Treasury not
later than November 1, and he, in
turn, would submit them to the Presi-
dent not later than November 20, after
having revised and co0rdinated them.
Provision also is made for the sub
mission of statements showing the
Treasury's resources and obligations
and it's condition at the end OF the pre-
estimated condition at the close of the
current year.
The President is given authority by
the bill to increase or reduce estimates
or to eliminate any item, or reasSlgn

CLEVELAND, April Samue,
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, who is in Cleve-
land to attend the convention of the
Cigarmakers' Union, has turned his at
tention to the railroad strike situation.
MIR. Gompers said to-day that the
walk-out was mistake and he pledged
the full support of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor to the brotherhoods
and authorized unions in their fight
against rebellious members. At the
same time he declared his sympathy
for the grievances of the strikers, re-
minded them that he had prophesied
trouble when the Cummins- Esch bill
was before Congress, and blamed Con-
gress for bringing the crisis on.
Il Know Men," Says Labor Chief
81 am not a prophet or the son of
a prophet" he said, "but 1 know men
II saw this trouble coming. l testi-
fed at Washington it would happen.
1t was inevitable. 1t is the inescapable
protest of the men against the effort
to legislate away their rights.
ut is men like Senator Cummins
and Governor Allen Of Kansas who are
to blame for this situation, with their
legislation to deny man the right to
or redress an injury.
ut is the policy of getting out in
functions both prohjbitory and manda-
tory and by so doing keep men at
labor under grievous conditions which
has caused this wave of uncomfortable
resentment.
ut is not the brotherhood officials
or the union leaders. They have done
all they could at all times to hold
their men within bounds, but there are
times when human nature will assert
itself. This is one of them l know
men,"
Expects Early Ending of Strike
Mr.. Gompers expressed confidence
that the strike soon would be ended,
and declared he had no fear Of its
effect on the union labor movement
generally, or upon the American FEEDER
alton of Labor in particular.
THE strike is big mistake" he said
"The trouble with these fellows is they
don't realize that the millennium can
comes only by years and years of per-
severance and labor.
when the first flash of their anger
is over they will realize this, and they
will return to work and to their estab-
lished organizations. This thing has no
real leadership and no real plan.
GAS for the American Federation of
Labor, it is impregnable. 1t has always
thrived on opposition from all sides ;"
Repeal the Cummins- Esch bill? We
certainly are going to work for that.
The movement already has been begun
by us.

owners rather than continue government

Record Interest
To Be Paid on
Treasury Notes
$25O,OOO,OOO Issue of
Certificates to Bea~
5 and 81 Per Cent on
Short Term Maturity

WASHINGTON, April 11.-A high
record for interest rates on war or
postwar government securities was
disclosed tonight by Secretary Hous-
ton in announcing two new issues of
Treasury certificates of indebtedness,
maturing in three and six months and
bearing interest at per cent and 5A
per cent, respectively. and amounting
to $250,00O,00O or more.
The new rates exceed the interest
paid on the last issue of certificates by
one-fourth and one-half per cent. re-
spectively, and Treasury officials de-
clared they were the highest paid on
government obligations since the days
of the Civil War. While the 5000 ,00O,-
900 bond issue to finance the Spanish
American War bore the circulation
privilege and therefore theoretically
paid higher rate, the actual interest
to be paid out by the Treasury on these
two issues sets mark which probably
will stand for several decades, it was
said.
Caused by Recent Changes
Mr.. Houston laid the high rates on
"recent changes in the situation" which
has for some time caused Treasury Of
ficials to consider changes in their
financial program. Necessities of the
government were laid before the gov
ernors of the Federal Reserve banks,
who conferred here all of last week,
and on the information given by them
Mr.. Houston determined to raise the

Return of the railroads to private

He declared that under the guarantee
provisions of the transportation act the
government probably would be called
upon to pay the railroads something
like $175,000,000 for the six months
which the guarantee covers. There also
must be provided sufficient money to
meet the requirements of the $500, ,OOO,-
900 revolving fund from which the
railroads will borrow at need.
Roads to Borrow Often
When and in what sums the govern
ment will be asked for loans from this
fund cannot be forecast, but the finan-
cial problems faced by practically every,
railroad corporation make it certain,
it was said, that loans will be sought

will be accepted on the two issues now
offered. The certificates do not bear
circulation privileges and will not be
accepted in payment of taxes.

Social Democrats
Deadlock ON Right
OF Police to Strike
National Committee Finally
Refers Question to Future
Meeting and A dopts
Declaration of Principles

Inc question OF whether the right
to strike should be denied to police
men and firemen deadlocked for a time
yesterday the closing session at the
Hotel McAlpin of the conference of the
National Executive Committee of the
Social Democratic League. The issue
was finally circumvented by referring
it for consideration to future meeting.
The discussion started when William
E. Walling. the secretary, presented a
resolution condemning the report of
the Federal Industrial Commission in
every particular except for it's recon-
mendation that members Of the Police
and Fire departments of municipalities
be prohibited from striking.
Charles Edward Russell, the presi-
dent, promptly relinquished the chair
to voice his disapproval He said:
"Any denial of the right to strike is
enslaving the worker, and municipali-
ties have no more right to enslave
their workers than the Standard Oil
Company or any other corporation"
Offers Substitute
He then offered substitute resolu-
tion placing the league on record as in
dorsing the right of all workers to
strike.
A decided difference of opinion was
Immediately apparent among the mem
bers, most of whom are secessionistc
from the Socialist party who broke
away from the parent organization
when it took up it's stand in opposition
tague, of Columbia University, declared
an adherence to the principle Of the
right of all workers to strike was
definite aranchistic syndicalism."
"To limit that right is an abject sur
render to the deadliest foe of organized
labor" replied Mr.. Russell.
In a statement of principles adopted
at the meeting it was said:
The danger confronting US in Amer
ica is not, however, that of revolution.
The revolutionary menace is deliber-
ately exaggerated by those reactionary
forces developed by the war, and also
who see nothing but danger to the
country in any economic change.
Mission of America
"The reactionary group opposes the
legitimate steps of specialization from
motives of desperate self-interest, car
ing more for immense private wealth
and power than for the good of the
community, and their we'll meaning
supporters are as much impressed by
loud appeals to patriotism and con-
servatism as are the we'll meaning
supporters of Bolshevism by appeals to
humanitarianism and progress.
"The Social Democratic League be-
lieves in the mission of America to
maintain freedom, to establish justice,
to promote progress, to develop democ-
racy. 1t believes that democracy must
be established in economics as we'll as
in politics, and to that end we advo
cate the gradual adoption of these
measures as fast as the majority of the
nation indorses them"

Clash With Police at Downing Street
Starts Disorder-RadicaIs Stage
Demonstration at Trafalgar
Square-Red Flag Carried.

London, oct. 19.-DisOrderS Oc-
Cured IN Whitehall during a demon
stration by unemployed men who had
sent delegation to Premier Lloyd
George in Downing street. Several
persons were injured ID attempts to
break through police Gordon and 9TH
erS were hurt when some stone work
from a window on the treasury build
ing fell.
The situation which developed at
the entrance to Downing street was
an ugly one There were q thousand
unemployed there, awaiting the return
of their delegation, and the great
thOrOughfore in the vicinity was
damned.
The disorder started when the I'M
employed demonstrators tried to break
through the heavy police guard and
get into Downing street. 1t was dur
ing this rush that the window stones
from the treasury crashed down. Pc
lice re-cnfOrcementS were rushed up
and mounted police were called out to
assist the regulars. Finally the crowd
began to throw stones. The police
finally dispersed the rioters.
The parapet on one side of Downing
street also collapsed during the crush.
Red Flag Is Captured.

when crowd headed by the red flag
of the Tottenham district Socialist and

sisted of 10 heads of London bureaus
asking relief for the unemployed. The
disorders were still proceeding when
the deputation emerged from the pre-
mierS official residence in Downing
street and tried to quiet the crowd.
At the same time a small party OF
demonstrators went to the neighboring
Trafalgar square, set up red flag
sang the "Internationale' and cheered
Lenine and Trotzky. No trouble de-
veloped here, however, the police not
interfering.
Parade After Disorder.
In connection with the sending of
the deputation to the premier, 81 pa
rade of 10000 of the unemployed had
been planning to march to Downing
street as demonstration. After the
disorders had subsidized the parade OF
the unemployed reformed and contln-
ued toward Trafalgar square in an or
derby manner, escorted by the police.
Fifty injured persons, including two
policemen and a woman, received
treatment when the trouble ended.
Twenty Of these were sent to hospit-

In connection with the character of
the demonstration, it was pointed out
that the appearance of q red flag does
not necessarily have particular Sig
