Civil Service Head Invited.
The Senate Economy Committee has
invited Thomas E. Campbell president
of the Civil Service Commission. to
conference scheduled for tomorrow
morning to obtain his views on the
economy law as it now stands and pro-
posed changes.
The Civil Service Commission several
weeks ago submitted to the committee
detailed report in which various mod
ifications in the existing economy law
were suggested.
Meanwhile, members of the Senate
Committee are waiting for the House
to act on the Treasury-Post Office
appropriation bill before meeting to de-
eide what course they will recommend
regarding Government salaries for the
next fiscal year.
Will Go to Oddie Committee.
When this appropriation bill reaches
the Senate it is expected the sections
containing the detailed itsms for these
two departments will go to the regular
Treasury Post Office subcommittee,
headed by Senator Oddie Of Nevada,
while the sections dsaling with the
economy law including the question of
payless furlough, will be considered by
Senator Bingham'S economy group.
Senator Bingham said today he has
not made up his own mind yet how the
pay cut question should be disposed Of
this year. He said he is seriously con-
sidering. however, the fact that while
continuation of the furlough plan
would not save the Government as
much money as if straight pay cut
was substituted, the furlough plan
would sprsad work through the en-
ployment of substitutes and to some
extent help the unemployment problem.

TRIAL PERIOD LEFT
IN PHILIPPINE BILL
Senate Committee Rejects
Reduction in Time to
Eight Years.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Senate Territories Committee to-
day decided to stick by the pending
Hawes- Cutting bills provision for a
trial period of 18 years before granting
full freedom to the Philippines and to
oppose the amendment proposing to re-
duce this to eight gears.
Chairman Bingham announced after
a special meeting of the committee that
all members except Senator Broussard
Democrat, OF Louisiana, author OF the
eight-year proposal felt that to adopt
this provision would strike the heart
out of the committee bill"
Bingham pointed out the Hawes-Cut-
ting measure allowed longer period C1
transition because it was thought the
islands needed 1t to get used gradually
to economic and political freedom, and
that the pending bill also protected
American holders of Philippine bonds
by permitting the islands to collect ex-
port taxes at the end of 10-year pc
riod for application to payment OF these
bonds.
The Broussard amendment, expected
! to be voted on in the Senate later in
the day, would strike out the export tax
! provision.
| Bingham said the United States had
moral responsibility in connection
with these bonds, since they were sold
in America under advertisement OF the
War Department"

consecutive year has voted to suspend
collections of ad valorem taxes.

day the municipal ad valorem levy
would not be collected.

balance on hand and almost every one
is in financial distress"
1T would be impossible for US to do
this if we had large bonded indebted
ness" Mayor Norwood said, "for. the
bond holders would have say in re-
gard to it. But We have no bonded in
debtedness and all our current bills for
the year are paid"
During the past Summer the Town
Council distributed free ice to the citi-

D. {. RELIEF FUND
ACTION EXPECTED
House Appropriations Body
Is Studying Appeal
for $1,250,OO0.
Continued From First Page)

District Relief Committee, ordered
Leroy A. Halbert, director OF emer-
geucy relief, to conserve his funds
so that they would last through the
first two weeks Of January. The relief
organization has On hand SEA 1000. bal
ance of an appropriation of $3.50 600
and $1,000 donated BY the Community
Chest, total of Sl54,000. For the six
weeks remaining between now and the
end of the second week in January, this
sum will allow expenditures of approxi-
mately S25 300 per week. Deductlng IL
per cent for administration, the amount
of relief available would be approx
mately s22, 500 per week.
For the past three weeks the ex-
penditures have been $4,000, $4,000
and S25000, respectively. With these
expenditures. Mr.. Halbert says that the
scale of relief is below decent" stand
ards. The additional reduction will put
them still further below such stand
ards. he said, but the committee felt it
was better to afford small amount OF
relief rather than run the chance OF
getting out of funds altogether before
any appropriation is enacted.
Outlook much Brighter"
Should the appropriation be enacted
at any time between now and the end
of the second week in January Mr.
Taliaferro said, it would be possible to
increase the scale. If the appropriation
does not come until mid-January, how
ever. the reduced scale must remain in
effect. He said the fact that the ap-
preparation already had been recon-
mended and is now under study by the
House Committee made the outlook
very much brighter"
Meantime, the number of eases"
handled by the relief administration Is
increasing, Mr.. Halbert said. He said
there were. roughly, so new applica-
tions for relief each day. Today there
are 5000 eases" on the relief admin
istration's list Most of the eases" are
families. Some OF them are single
women. The committee will not under
take to help single men, owing to its
shortage Of funds.
Approximately two-thirds CT It's
cases." Mr. Halbert said. represent per-
sons or families who have never before
applied to any charitable or social
agency in the District for any sort o.
relief.
Terms Estimate Inadequate.
Speaking briefly before the luncheon
meeting of the Council OF Social
Agencies yesterday Mr. Halbert char
acterized the Board of Public Welfare
estimate Of 81 100000 as inadequate.
but re-emphasized the necessity for
Congress appropriating at least that
much. He said it would not be enough
to take over support Of 500 families
which his office originally had agreed
to care for in order to relieve agencies
supported by the Community Chest,
whose budget fell a half million dol
lars short of its goal.
In support Of his estimate Of $4,000
unemployed, Halb,rt pointed out that
the reason that only $4,000 are reg
istered is because the balance regards
it useless to apply to the Committee on
Employment fer relief.

G.N.SO Fifteen hundred "rebel'

Coal City and on to their down
state homes today by 100 State
policemen and deputy sheriffS.
The miners had gathered here
to picket highways leading to the
Northern Illinois Coal Corpora

fort to prevent union miners from
working under the recently op-
proved $5-a-day basic wage scale.
Walter L. Moody, chief of State
highway police, had described
their presence as a menace to
peace"
The would-be picketers arose at
down and attempted to take con-
troll of the highways. They found
the roads already patrolled by
State policemen and deputies from
Will and Grundy counties. The
police carried revolvers, rifles, and
tear gas bombs.
Frustrated, the picketers re-
turned to their camp in a park
here. Chief Moody, of Will county,
and Sheriff John Perucca, of
Grundy county, backed by their
entire forces. entered the camp
and ordered the men to evacuate.
