 They Are Unsatisfactory
Bx Associated Press

London, April 26-A three hours conference today between the miners and the mine owners with Sir Robert Stephenson Horne, chancellor of the exchequer, presiding, brought the dis putants in the coal strike no nearer an agreement. although the mine owners amended their proposals
 However. hope was expressed to- night over the fact that the miners nesday morning, after which the chancellor will have another separate conference with the mine owners
 In a statement issued after today's conference the miners federation says that on both the fundamental issues at stake--a national pool of wag es and wage board--"the mine own CTS new proposals represent no ad- vance at all toward an agreUment.''
 The proposals of the owners were as follows:
 l. That for temporary period any changes in wages shall be on flat rate basis in any area.
 9 That the wages shall be -calcu- lated on the area instead of the dis trict basis.
 B. That the owners shall forego rrofits for three months.
 Of these proposals. the miners say: First, the miners demand for flat reductions on national basis are in no way met: second. that the areas are only minor variation from the old districts and third, that capita !. having always based it's claim to re- ward on the assumption that it takes the risks of the industry. it should bear losses in times of depression as it reaps profits in good times.

BUDGET MEASURE
 PASSED IN SENATE;
 READY FOR HOUSE
Bill Provides for Treasury Bu- reau to Prepare Estimates of Appropriations Needed by
 Various Departments
By Associated Press

Washington, April 26.-The budget bill passed the Senate today without a record vote.
 Brief debate preceded the final vote on the measure, which was introduced originally by Senator Mccormick, re- publican, Illinois, passed by both the Senate and House during the sixty sixth Congress, vetoed by President Wilson and then repassed by the House with the sections found objectionable by the executive and stricken out The Senate, however. failed to act on the measure after the Presidents veto. The measure as passed today now goes to the House, where prompt action has been promised.
 The bill provides for bureau in the treasury department to prepare the estimates of appropriations needed by the various departments. The bureau would have as it's head a director of budget appointed by the President, with the consent of the Senate, for a term of seven years with an annua. salary of $10,000.
 The original bill provided for the appointment of Comptroller general ,to hold office during good behayioc and to be removed only by concurrent resolution of Congress. This provision formed the objection voiced by Presi dent Wilson, who held that it would take from the President the power to remove executive officials.
 ABOLISH COMPTROLLER
 The officers of comptroller and as- SiSfapt nj of ha would be abolished under the revised bill and in their stead officers of comptroller general and assistant comptroller general would be created The measure approved today by the Senate would permit their removal by joint congressional resolution, which requires the Presidents signature
 Efforts of democrats were directed toward sealing down the salaries of officers provided for in the bill. Sen ator Harrison, democrat, Mississippi, called attention to the adoption of an additional office in the budget bureau and said he was "curiods, why at this time, when we are trying to practice enconomy," there should be an effort by the republicans to increase the number of offices.
 Senator Mccormick retorted that the Mississippi senator's statement sounds ike an echo rom the Baltimore con vention of 1912" Senator Harrison's effort to eliminate the added office by amendment was lost.
 Collecting to the fixing of the salary of the assistant director of the budget at $9,000 Senator Harrison offered an amendment to reduce it to $7500, say ing he was sure some long, lean, lanky, hungry republican would accept the office at thatt sa.ary." Senator Mccormick accepted the amendment, and 1t was agreed to.
