Montgomery, July 13.-(Speciai.l - A. G.

 A lively tilt occurred over the printing of the magazine when a Cincinnati delegate declared that by having 1t printed Tn Cincinnati the federation could save s3,O00 of the total now spent by publishing it in New York. The open and closed shop question was raised during the discussion.
 Miss Sears Replies
 An effort to oust Miss Sears, editor, by the Cincinnati delegate resulted in the former declaring that if the federation wanted cheap magazine it would have to secure cheap editor. The question swas finally re- ferred to the magazine committee.
 Miss Mary Stewart, chairman of the legislative committee, reported on activities of the year, outlining the status in Congress of bills in- dorsed by the convention at Cleveland last year.
 A recommendation calling for the reduction in armament was referred to the resolutions committee.

OPINIONS DIFFER IN DEBATE OVER
 APPROPRIATIONS
$500, 100000 Deficit Pre- dicted in 1923 by Sen- ate Leaders During
 Discussion
By Associated Press

Washington, July 13.-Opinions di- vided along party lines were given on the work of the present Congress on 1923 appropriations bills in the customary annual reviews of appro- priations made today by Represent tative Madden, republican, Illinois, chairman of the House appropria- tions committee; Senator Warren, republican, Wyoming, chairman of the Senate appropriations commit tee, and Representative Byrns, demo- crat, Tennessee, ranking minority member of the House committee.
 Economy and retrenchment were claimed by Representative Madden and Senator Warren and denied by Representative Byrns. All agreed, however, that the government faced a large deficit next year and esti- mated by MT. Byrns as promising to reach $500, 900, ,000 If the soldiers bonus, ship Subsidy and other bills are passed.
 "The republican party had made good in It's policy of retrentcment and financial reform" said Representa- tive Madden's statement.
 LamentnbIc Failure
 Representative Byrns' statement declared the appropriation statistics 'show a lamentable failure on the part of the republican Congress and the administration to reduce or re- trench the expenditures of the gov ernment," that the budget bureau claimed paper savings" and that republican promises of yesterday were completely forgotten in the performances of today"
 Total appropriations for the fiscal year 1928. according to the state- ments of Representative Madden and Senator Warren, were $3,747,035,3S2 a reduction of $319.2S0,9s4 over those of last year. They pointed with pride" to this reduction. but Repre- Sentative Byrns declared 1t was un- fair to compare 1923 appropriations with those of 1922 and that a com parison with pre-war year would be more Illuminating. Representative Madden's statement said such a com 4parison would be unfair, because postwar liabilities had caused ,mounting expenses.
 ss ''The reductions In appropriations and consequent reductions In ex .penditures have made possible most gratifying reduction in taxes" Said Representative Madden. The amount of reduction for the calendar year 1921 Is approximately $S0,O00,- 900 and the relief to the tax payers for the calendar year 1922 is esti- mated at not less than $S50, ,000,0 ,000."
 Byrns Attacks
 q Representative Byrns declared that the republican party has not kept sthe government on a pay as you go basis" and the protective deficit, he said. "could never be satisfactorily explained in the coming congression- al elections"
