 U. s. Attorney George z. Me- dalie, cooperating with Labor De- partment officials in Investigating activities of the ring, said five or six of those he hopes to indict are attorneys.
 Nineteen men already have been arrested in the inquiry.
 The ring, Medalie revealed. is a large scale organization not un- like the many rum-running rings.
 Headquarters were maintained in Montreal. Administrative "of- fees" were established in New York, Chicago, and San Francisco.
 One group acted as "spotters," looking for aliens who wished to enter the United States. Another printed and forged entry permits. Still other members did the actual smuggling.
 The arrests here are only the beginning. officials said. Many more will be arrested throughout the United States, authorities promised.

with a cane. He made his way be- tween the long table in the center of the floor and the knees of the members of the three-party gov ernment on the front benches to the left of the speaker, taking his position beside the dispatch box.
 He leaned slightly on the box during his speech as he faced the composite supporters of the gov- ernment on the benches directly opposite. Behind him sat the la bor opposition. Snowden, pale and blue-eyed, compressed his thin lips as he began his important task.
 Behind Snowden sat Elliott, a conservative, with a copy of the budget speech in his hands. His eyes followed the speech line by line to check any inaccuracy in Snowden's reading.
 Among the opposition, the keen eyed William Graham, who was formerly Snowden's understudy in the position occupied now by El- liot, followed the speech closely and made frequent notes, preparing to attack the budget as soon as Snowden finished.
 Snowden said he was facing the most disagreeable task of his life and he found 1t no pleasure to call on the people to bear an additional burden.
 "The nation for some time past has been living beyond its means and to a considerable extent on it's capital" he said.
 The government has decided that borrowing for the unemployment fund must cease, he announced.
 The budget deficit which must be met, Snowden said is 74,700,000 pounds ($363.042.000.)
 Snowden estimated the deficit for next year at ITO. 0.000,000 pounds ($826,200.O00) based on existing taxation and expenditures.
 The budget proposed 70,000.000 pounds ($340.200,00O in imme- daite economies.
 Snowden proposed to reduce the sinking fund on the national debt from 50,000.000 pounds to 32,500,- 900 pounds this year and next. The hostile laborites listened in- tently to Snowden's long exposition of the country's position. They mostly sat with arms folded across their chests. Many had red flowers in their buttonholes. The total of national and local taxation at pres sent is almost one-third of the na- tional income, Snowden said. He announced the income tax would be increased sixpence. mak- ing the basic rate 25 per cent of the income.
 The present basic rate is shil- lings six pence in the pound (20 Hhillings)., The new rate will be 5 shillings in the pound.
 It will be necessary to raise 39.- 900, ,000 pounds ($1S9.540.000) by increased taxation this year and 80,000,000 pounds ($38S,S00,000) next year, Snowden said.
 An increase of a penny a pint in the excise duties on beer was an- nounced.

London, Sept 10-CUP) = The sacrifices which the British public, from highest to lowest, will be called on to make in the national financial crisis were outlined to a tense and crowded house of com mons to-day.
 The floors and galleries were packed to hear Philip Snowden, the crippled chancellor of the ex- cheauer, explain the salary reduc- tions, increased taxes and various economies which the national coa- lition government intends to put into force.
 There was a touch of drama in the farewell budget appearance of labor's financial genius. He was making his fourth and last budget speech, because he intends to re- tire from politics when the present emergency has been met.
 The house hastened impatiently through the preliminary proceed ings. During the customary ques- ton period. the financial secretary of the treasury, Major Walter El- lot, revealed the interest that Bril- tain is paying on the recent $200,- 100000 credit obtained In New hs | at one per cent above the federal reserve discount rate, with a min- imum of 4 1-2 and a maximum of ( per cent, he said. The pres ent New York discount rate is only l 1-1 per cent so that the minimum is effective.
 Elliot said no conditions had been made on how the. credits might be spent. He ignored a ques- tion by Edward F. Wise. labor, who asked if the governments credit was so low 1t was necessary to pay interest four times higher than the present New York rate for three months bills.
 Snowden started his budget speech at 3:54 D. m.

Citron charged the judiciary committee had violat- ed a statute providing for report on those judgeships within six days of receiving the nominations.
 Citron declared the Judiciary com mittee. headed by. House Majority Leader Raymond A. Johnson, had greatly exceeded the limit estab- lished in section 49 of the general statutes.
 Johnson replied the committee was familiar with the law and that he would be glad to impose any pen- alty which the law might provide for such delinquency
 Citron answered. that the law pro- vided no penalty but that the ju- diciary committee ought to set an example of lawA observance for the people of the state nevertheless.
