Of leadership and fellowship"
3-An international conference to

exchange Of goods.
The first plan was adopted by about
1000 farm men and women coming
here from Iowa. Minnesota. Oklaho-
ma. Missouri. Nebraska. Illinois, Wis
consin and Montana. at the behest OF
farm holiday" leaders.

MEASURE USELESS.
AS AID TO BALANCE
GOVERNMENT BUDGET.
Original Savings Of $21O,OOO,-
600 Are Reduced to Only
S42,30O,0O0
REGULARS LOSE IN FIGHT
Insurgents Retain Whip Hand
as Proposed Economies
Are Voted Down
REGULARS LOSE IN FIGHT

Washington, May 4.-(R--Virtually
useless as an aid to budget balancing.
the economy bill was Through the
house Wednesday, mere shadow of
the $210,o00000 measure originally
drafted.
1t was passed and sent TO the sem
ate easily enough Tuesday night,
carrying $42 100000 of savings. but
only after the insurgent ma jority had
withstcod, on nine successive roll
calls. the desperate efforts of regular
leaders to force reinstatement OF big
economies previously voted down.
The final outlook for the bill was
uncertain. The senate, busy with the
tax bill and other legislation. has so
far given the measure scant atten-
ton but, being attached to the legis-
lative appropriation bill, 1t is sure to
get action.
All the bill can accomplish in its
present shape is:
Authorize President Hoover to re-
organize government agencies, subject
to congressional approval to and
create a public works administration
to concentrate all but military and
rivers-and- harbors work: disbanding
or reduce the Philippine scouts. and
reorganize the shipping board to save
s2,500,O00. .,,.
Suspend all overtime pay. automa-
tic promotions and salary raises. and
retire all superannuated government
employees, reducing travelling allow
ances of railway mail clerks and con-
gressmen, and curtailing the transfer
from post to post of officers and en-
listed men of the army and navy.
Government Salaries Cut
Cut by II per cent all government
salaries above $500 exemption and
prevent retired military and naval Of
ficers holding government positions
from drawing more than $4,000 year
through their retirement ccmpensa
ton.
Reduce government printing ex-
penditures by 100000; set a $4,000
limit on salaries in government
boards, corporations and commissions,
and transfer and consolidate several
departmental activities.
Because the bill had been so nearly
destroyed, Chairman McDuffie Oem.
Ala.), of the committee which drew
it, cast his vote against the measure
1.-THE action of the house goes to
prove" he said, that organized min
critics, agandists and bureaucrats
have control of this government ana
that representative government Is
dead. 1t goes to prove that Preslden'
Hoover's idea for an omnibus economy
bill was wrong. Groups and blocs in
terested in different items got TO-
gether for the purpose OF defeating
any economy program submitted"
Last of the sections to be thrown
q, cut by the insurgent forces was the
s48,7l7,O0O reduction in veterans al
lowances. AS a substitute 1t set up 9
Joint committee of seven senator's anc
seven representatives to report nex'
session a revised program OF veterans
legislation.
