D. c, HANDICAPPED
!. BY BUDGET RULING
Committee Revives Old Conn.,
plant in Cutting Down Es-
Inmates by $1,000, GOO.
MAY SLASH SCHOOL FUND
Increase in Clerk Salaries Likely to
Be Abandoned by City
Heads.

District officials, cutting their an
nual estimates in compliance with the
direction of the budget bureau, are in
somewhat the position of the man
who chased his hat for several blocks,
only to have a gust of wind carry it
farther on as he stopped to pick it up.
For years the Commissioners were
required by law not to ask for more
in their estimates than twice the
city's revenue.
Year after year they petitioned
Congress to remove the limitation so
that they might present all of the
Districts needs to the appropriation
committees. This year their prayer
was answered and Congress, in pass
ing the current appropriation act, re-
moved the restriction.
Budget Bureau Economy.
The budget bureau, however. i'm
PEELED by the need for economy in
government expenses, deemed it nee
essary to direct the Commissioners
than twice the estimated revenue of
the city for this year.
Thus, the day when the District
government may lay its accumulated
needs before Congress once more ap-
parently has slipped away, like the
hat caught in the wind.
The Commissioners are in session
again today on the estimates OF their
department heads, bringing them
down from the tentative total OF
S27, roc, 900 to the maximum figure
fixed by the budget office.
After today's' meeting work on the
budget will be temporarily halted
until next week, when the Commits
sioners expect to confer with Su-
perintendent Of Schools Ballou and
officers Of the board of education on
the estimates for the school system.
The school board estimates, as sent
to the District building, amounted,
in round numbers, to $S.400,000. in

school items will have to bear part

Commissioners must make IN the bud-

PHILADELPHIA, August 1S.-Mem-
bers Of the negotiations committees
Of the anthracite miners and opera
tors today continued to hold the
optimistic attitude manifested after
the first conference yesterday, but
both turned deaf ears to questions,
declaring that the joint statement
was all that could be said at present
The conference was to be resumed
this afternoon.
DO you think it will be possible
to reach an agreement today?" John
L. Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workers, was asked
Il cannot venture to say what We
will do today" he answered.
Joseph A. German, secretary of
the anthracite board of conciliation
and secretary of the meeting, said
Mr.. Warriner and Mr. Lewis have
ooth agreed to remain quiet about
the details Of the meeting until they
can hold separate consultation with
their committees"
The main issue involved concerns
wages. In a pre-conference announce
ment, the operators agreed to take
oack the miners at the old wage scale.
while the miners waived their demand
1or a 20 per cent increase.
II was understood, however, that
the operators would only axtend the
old wage scale agreement until next
APRIL whereas the miners desired a
long-term contract if they agreed to
resume work at the former rate. The
point was understood to have been
MADE that il mining were To be re-
sumed with the old. scale standing
only until April, another suspension
then might have to be faced. Mine
workers officials were said to be in
favor OF a two to three year agree
ment.

presided at the meeting and there
was a general discussion before the
adoption of the resolution and ap-
pointment of the committee to wage
the campaign. In substance the reso-
luton read:
avenue northwest from 7th street and
Florida avenue to Kenyon street is
so poor as to warrant immediate re-
surfacing.

slightly and uneven condition Of said
paving traffic is naturally diverted
west to the better paved Sherman

section of Georgia avenue paved In

JusNee Cropsey held that there was
no obhgatlon upon the receivers to
operate the lines so that fve-ccnt
lare would be continued over the New
ork and Queens system and suggested d
that the Transit Commission could
fix Joint fare, but this question had
not been brought into the argument.
The court said that to uphold tho
plstr1ct Attorneys contention would
work hardship on the public. as the
receivers, unless they could charge a
higher fare, would be compelled to
suspend operation of the lines,
NO Fowcr 10 Continue Single Fare

The contention of the District At

the receivers TO so operate the rail
