CITY ACCOUNTS AUDITED;;FUNDS
 IN POOR SHAPE
Administration Must Borrow Money To Tide Over Next Year At Tax Paying Time.
(From Thursdays Daily Press)


 ]. R. Kirby and E. B. Thompson accountants, who have just com pleted an audit of the books of the r. City of Paragould, have filed their report with the Mayor. The report, which is complete in detail, shows that the city's indebtedness is ST. 98952 on the general fund. Mayor Middleton stated this morning that the figures did not take into ac- count outstanding bills of S1,1S0.0O and $75000, the former represent ing balance due on the fire truck, and the latter being for hose. This Middleton, of $9,919.52 of actual indebtedness. Another pay roll which will probably be for $1,200 will fall due the first of next month, and this will serve to bring the total indebtedness up to at least eleven thousand dollars.
 Receipts due from the collector would normally amount to approXi- mately twelve thousand dollars, but this year three thousand dollars has been advanced When this sum is paid, it will reduce the indebted ness to something in the neighbor- hood of two thousand dollars. Small amounts collected from fines, and itinerant privileges, must run the ost tu nntil thn first nf January. at which time city priyi- leges of various kinds must be paid.
 Generally speaking, the city is about a year behind with it's if nances, and Mayor Middleton goes into office with this handicap to contend with.
 The audit shows that there is a balance of $1SG.36 to the credit of the cemetery fund, but that there is note outstanding amounting to $362, which will show an ac- tual deficit rather than balance.
 The street fund balance is shown to be $133.05, but the sum of $24o is due for grading machine, and an item of S1,500 is due the House Jones Company for the city's barn, which is used by the street depart ment.
 The sprinkling fund has balance of 37 cents on hand, while the sewer permit fund has $l.50 to its credit.
 The waterworks fund shows an overdraft of $936.10, while the total due in notes and interest by athe water department is $2,361.37. 5 Mayor Middleton stated this af- ternoon that another note for about twelve hundred dollars, not included in any of the above computations, will be due next year.

WILL DISCUSS CUT
 IN RAILWAY WAGES

Chicago. June 30.--More than
 ,000 rail union leaders will assem- lble in Chicago Saturday to prevent
 q tie-up in the countrys transpor- itation facilities.
 The strike issue, brought to the fore by the decision by the United lStates Railway Labor Board, direct ling a 20 per cent wage reduction ef- fective July l, is very important to these men. By-laws of their organ izations leave submission to the La Ition.
 However, a general walkout could not be finally declared at the i'm bending conferences. Such an order would have to be approved by ref |erendum vote of members of the unions, that have not yet expressed their sentiments.
 Tabulation of the wage issue ref erendum vote registered by mem- bers of the Federal Shop Crafts dur ing the last 30 days practically was completed last night E. NJ. Jewell, president of the Railway Employees Department of the American Feder- ably will not be announced before Saturday.
 While declining to indicate how the shop crafts vote has gone. Mr Jewell again said reports that the referendum showed the shop men overwhelmingly in favor of reject on official information. He said 325.000 ballots had been sent out. The reports gave this figure as rep resenting the majority against ac- cepting reduced wages. These re- ports persist. But. even assuming the referendum returns vindicate largely in the hands of the labor conference.
 "We are confronted with seri- Ous situation,' said MT. Jewell, but if We have proper cooperation from all concerned-the railroads and the general pnblic-we can settle our troubles"
 The army of union leaders. most of them general chairmen of the four big brotherhoOdS probably wal be in session several days.

HOUSE AGREES TO
 BORAH'S PROGRAM

| Washington, June 30.---The House
 agreed late yesterday to the Borah
 disarmament to the naval appro- priation bill.
 The vote was 330 to 4. Represent-
 ative Moore, Indiana, Republican, and Representatives Campbell, Penn
 aylvania; Carew, New York, and
 OBrien, New Jersey, Democrats,
 voted in the negative Lineberger,
 Republican of California voted pres ent
 tive Kelly of Michigan, in charge 0f the bill, when he moved to concur | with the senate in the Borah amend ment. In no mood for the extended debate, many members rose, applaud ing ana cheering, and began to chant Vote, vote, yote.' They quieted down, however, when Repre- sentative Mondell. Republican leader, had the clerk read letter he had received from President Harding, in which the president said 1t was wholly desirable" to have the ex- pression of q favorable opinion on the part of Congress relating to world disarmament. The letter said | it was not of particular concern | to the administration what form the expression of Congress shalI take" After the reading of the letter. cheering broke out with re- newed vigor.
 Debate, which lasted half hour, was confined to MT. Mondell, Repre- sentative Garrett of Tennessee, act. ing Democratic leader, and Repre- Carolina. No attempt was made to offer tho Porter substitute. which was considered broader than the Borah amendment because 1t would not restrict participants in the pro- posed conference to Great Britain. Japan aihl the United States, nor discussion solely to reduction of naval armaments.
 After referring to the Borah amendment as marrow and restric- tive" Mir. Mondell said that inas- much as the bill would go back on the last day of the fiscal year to the senate, where one persistent
 md insistent gentleman can block the wheels of legislation he doubt ed whether it would be wiae to "haggle over the exact wording of the amendment"
 II is the duty of Congress to pass the billaso the navy can func- tion." said MT. Mondell. ''and I for one am willing to surrender my views so there will he no tie-up.'' Mondell said the Borah proposal did not adequately "expresa the de- sire of the American people for negotiations and efforts for diaarma- ments" Declaring it applied only to naval establishments. Mir. Mond61l exclaimed: God knows it is even more important to halt the march of military forces on land.'
 Despite the wording of the amend ment, said Mr. MOndell, the country understands the temper of Congress and realizes that consistent aud persistent effort toward disarma- ment will he made by the admins trati0n regardless of the form of the congressional amendment" Representative Garrett snid 1t was most deslrable'' that the House concur in the Borah proposal with out amendment. while MT. Byrnes. announcing he also favored such action, said Republican leaders in the House had "wiggled and wob- bled" on the disarmament question.
