DAUGHERTY SAYS

Definite Statement
WHEN WALKOUT COMES
Attorney General Says Federal Ac-
ton to Be Drastic Unless
Barred by Court.

Warning that the federal govern
ment would tolerate no use of vio-
lence to prevent coal production dur
ing the threatened coal strike was is
sued today by Attorney General
Daugherty.
Mr. Daugherty declared he was
making no threats, as he believed a
man or a set Of men have the right to
strike in an orderly manner, but that
they did not have the right to inter-
fere with those who took their places.
The Attorney General did not dis
close the governments plans in the
event of a walkout. but it was under
stood that he conferred yesterday
with President Harding and Secretary
Davis upon the possibility of a pubic
appeal by the President to avert the
strike.
Mr.. Daugherty said he did not be-
lieve the government would nave TO
wait until there was an actual coal
shortage before it could take action.
His theory, he explained, was tnat
since fuel was an indispensable part OF
transportation, the government mao
the same power to act in the case OF
any interference with coal production
that it would in the event OF any inter-
ruption in the nations transportation
system.
The Attorney General. without elab-
Grating on this statement, tnen pro-
ceeded to say that action by the gov
ernment in connection with a coal
strike would be little farther step
than had been taken by any other coun-
try, a little more drastic and little
more specific, but his mind was set
upon 1t and only a court could block IL.
He added it was probable that at one
minute past midnight on March 81
the Justice Department would nave
something to say on the situation.

The vote on the resolution was eel
to 121 and was without a roll call.

Party Lines Broken.
There was a breaking OF party
lines on the vote for the suspension
resolution. Many Of the democrats
who voted In the negative on this
motion were counted upon to support

democratic leader, made q point of

avowed and sole purpose" of re-

through in such fashion as to prevent
the offering Of a motion to recommit,
and asserting that this was in viola

was a hot discussion on the point of
order.
BY unanimous agreement the House

usual. When Speaker Gillett's gavel

members and the galleries were well

former service men.
Speaker Gillett overruled Mr.. Gar

sharp wrangle between leaders on the
two sides. Representative Campbell
said the same point Of order had been
made two years ago and had been
overruled at that time, the Speaker
holding that the rules committee was
within it's rights when it reported a
resolution for suspension of the rules

$2O0,0)Q,OlO TAX
DEFICIT ESTIMATED
Enormous Shortage Forecast
in Revenues From Income
and Profits.

On the basis Of reported collection of
income and profits taxes of the March
Is installment a shortage of $200.000,-
900 in the estimated revenues from these
sources for the calendar year 1922 was
estimated today by the Treasury.
Original estimates of revenues from
income and profits taxes for the calen-
dar year, high officials said, were ST.
740, 100000, while returns from the
March installment now indicate the total
for the year will be $1,54O.00o,0 900.
Final receipts for March will not be
in hand before the end of the month, Of
ficials said, but reports received from
collectors so far indicate that not more
than $40O,000.000 will be received. as
compared with approximately $72S. .000,-
900 for the corresponding quarter last
year.
Estimates Made.
Estimates for the March quarter
of this year, officials continued,
placed the total at $460.000,00O, so that
the falling off in these receipts
probably will mean a shortage of
over $100,000,0O0. in revenues esti-
mated in the budget for the fiscal
year 1922. Estimates Of tax collec-
tions on June Is were originally
$315,O0O,000. officials explained, but
with a more than $60,000,000 drop in
the March collections, 1t was thought
the decrease Of the two quarters
prior to the end of the fiscal year
would be about 100000.
The shortage in tax collections on
March is, officials said. was due en-
tirely to the business depression
during 1921. the year upon which the
taxes are due, as the new tax law DID
not become effective until the hrst Oh
this year.
The expected shortage of revenues;
high officials asserted, would retaro
the Treasury's program for con
tinuing the reduction Of the puoilc
debt, as appropriations made upon the
basis Of budget estimates would nave
to be met by further government Dor
rowing to provide the funds.
Secretary Mellon was understood 70

AGREE ON $1,5(0,0OO
FOR LAND IN D. c.
Congress Conferees Want
Present BuiIdings-Ship
Board May Get Millions.

Unanimous agreement that the gov
ernment should appropriate $780,
600 for the purchase of seven plots
porary buildings. and the leases on
which will expire before the end of
the present fiscal year, has been
reached by the conferees on the ap-
preparation bill for Independent es-
adjustments. according to a report
which will be filed in the House to-
day by Representative Will r. Wood of
Indiana.
This item of $1.500.o0o must come
back to the House for a separate
vote. but the House conferees will
urge that 1t be approved, as a strictly
business proposition on the ground
that the government will save that
by continuing to use the present
buildings.
Other Poiats Settled.
The conferees also agreed on four
other points which had been in contro-
versy. One of these was regarding the
general accounting office personnel. The
House put all Of these employees on
statutory salary basis. The general ac-
counting Office. with the support Of tie
Senate, has been eontending for a lump
sum appropriation. A compromise was
reached whereby most Of the positions
will be statutory. but a lump sum ap-
propriation of $375,000. to be used prin-
cipally for temporary employment of
cheaper clerks, has been reached.
A modification was also agreed to in
regard to the $55 900, 900 which may be
collected by the Shipping Board. and
which that organization wanted the
authority to spend. The agreement pro-
vides that the Shipping Board may
spend $25,000,000 out of the 100000
to be collected during the fiscal year
1923.
Ten May Get Over 425,O0O.
The conferees also agreed upon a
modification regarding the number OF
employees to whom the Shipping
Board may pay salaries in excess OF
$4,000. The House recently set the
maximum at six. The Senate raised
this to thirteen and compromise was
reached on ten. The appropriation tor
the United States tariff commission
was also in controversy. As passed by
the House the bill carried 100000.
The Senate raised this to $3i5,000 AVID

It is expected that the House will
approve the tentative agreements
reached by the House conferees.
