Methods" Protected.
"I agree with you, Mr. Speaker, in
your desire for economy. MY real pro-
test is at the methods by which it is
being brought about. I repeat that /
consider it indefensible for the House
to accept Senate bill which proposed
an arbitrary 10 per cent cut, regardless
OF the wishes of the head of a depart
ment, without calling for conference, or
without considering any of the details.
This Is bad budgeting and bad legisla-
tive practice. 1t does not indicate
cooperation.
THE larger proportion of the econ
omles OF government can only come
through legislative action. Cabinet
ofncers must carry out the functions
OF government and the provisions of
legislation. With this responsibility, it
seems to me they have a right to be
heard on the details of an economy
program. That right was denied by
the acceptance Of 10 per cent cut
made by the Senate following a series
OF other reductions, bringing the mat
ter of the budget of the Interior De-
partment not to a question of shorten
ing OF sail, but dismantling the ship.
Under your leadership the House
accepted the action of the Senate
without crossing a t. or dotting an
81 1 hope that more sober and
considerate hearing will be given the
budgets of other departments.
With high esteem and a full realiza-
tion Of the difficult task in which you
are engaged"

POSTAL EMPLOYEES

7. F. DoIan Hits Proposed
Cuts, Declaring Present
Wage Inadequate.

Postal employees are receiving less
than respectable" salary now. Thomas
F. Dolan, president of the United Ma
tional Association OF Post once Clerks.
today asserted in statement that was
an argument against wage reduction.
statistics accepted as completely au-
thentic were offered as testimony prior
to the passage of the reclassification act
OF 1925, under the provisions of which
postal employees are now receiving, as a
maximum salary, $2,100 a year" he
ampnhed. These statistics showed that
family Of four, two adults and two
children, needed an income Of S2,400 a
year in order to live in a respectable
manner, no allowance being made for
doctor, dentist, savings or recreation.
From the annual salary of $2,100 is de-
quoted, automatically, 3l2 per cent for
capital slightly more than $4,000.
Upon this modest income it is pro-
posed to add the indignity Of a wage
reduction, either by direct application
or the equally disastrous use Of unpaid
burroughs or payless DAYS off"
The statement also hit at other ex-
penditures at the expense of wage earn
ers. saying:
Bridges and statues costing SAT 7,00o,-
600, erected to the memory of our illus
rlous dead, are appropriate expressions
OF grateful people, battleships costing
S5O,O00O,0 900 are impressive and neces-
sary; magnificent public buildings, erect

Nation; cancellation of some $500 .O0O, ,OGS
in interest, due from the debt of our
neighborS in foreign lands, may be a
necessary and beneficent gesture.

lied for outward demonstrations Of prids
and philanthropy"

tation to private industry.

FEDERAL WORKERS
/ RAP OMNIBUS BILL
National Federation Writes
Every Member of house,
Urging Defea.

The National Federation of Federal
Employees yesterday wrote very member
of the House urging dfeat for the
omnibus economy bill, declaring attacks
on Government pay "untir."
The text of the appal. signed by
Luther c. Steward, the president, and
Miss Gertrude McNaly, secretary
treasurer. follows:
We ask you to vote against the So
called omnibus economy bill for the
following, among other reasons: First,
the pay-cut proposal, whether in the
form OF the II per cent reduction or
the alternative furlolgh scheme, is
manifestly unfair, becaIse:
"(a) Federal emploTes were never
granted increases commensurate with
compensation in privae employment
cd Congress never appropriated
money to pay the inceases provided in
the classification act of 1923, thereby
oepriving Federal employees of more
than s14,00o,000 annually, which under
Its own act Congress was morally obli-
gated to give.
"(c) The failure t. fill vacancies has
already compelled administrators to
lengthen the working hours of Federal
employees, and continuation of this
policy will still further add to the work.
ing time, without any compensation
therefor
The proposals to abolish Saturday
half-holidays, to retire compulsorily
employees now serving on extensions, to
suspend all provisions for overtime and
night work, to suspend annual leave.
and to reduce travel and subsistence
allowance, will destroy with one stroke
conditions of employment obtained only
after many years of struggle, and throw
the Federal Government back among
the least enlightened of employers, a
status from which it was beginning to
emerge.
I'VE fully recognize the necessity for
real economy, but ask to have the pay
and working conditions of Federal en-
ployes considered in the light of reason.
and not have TIE issue determined by
the insistent clsmor of bankers and in
dustrialists who are attempting to have
Federal workers bear an unduly large
proportion of the cost of their own
mistakes"

History Of Appropriations.
The history of the appropriations Of
the Interior Department is covered in
the following table:
Appropriations for 1882, exclusive OF
permanent and indefinite items. s75,-
$50, 1893; budget estimates for 1888. S56,-
705,352; reduction by budget, $18,975,-
246; House appropriations bill of 1893,
S50,446,4 ,432; reduction by House. S.
258, ,920; 10 per cent cut by Senate. S.
047 760; total decrease under 1882 ap-
preparations, S30,281 1926.
Replying to Speaker Gamers charge
he had failed to cooperate in economy
efforts, Secretary Wilbur wrote Garner
that you state that early last Fall the
country was advised that I and other
cabinet members were meeting with the
President for the purpose of reducing
the expenditures of the Governmnt.
That statement is correct, and as a re-
suit the proposed expenditures of this
department were reduced by $18,975, PAS.
Later, when the appropriation bill
was in the hands of the subcommittee
of the House Appropriations Committee,
the department co-operated in giving
the fullest possible information.
When the bill came before the SEN
ate committee from the House. after
hearings, it recommended to the Senate
an increase of $4,424,322 over the
amount allowed by the House. Then
following the action of the Senate, re-
quiring an arbitrary 10 per cent cut,
responded to the Senate Finance Com
mittee's request for information as to
where cuts could be made with the least
damage to service.
Proposals Disregarded.
Instead of accepting my recon-
mendations, involving a cut of S5,O93,-
143, which included $4,000 900 reduc-
ton for the construction of new roads
and trails in National Parks, only $780,
900 was cut from this item, and other
appropriations essential to the safe con-
duct OF the Government were elm
mated. Two million dollars was cut
from the appropriation for the Colorado
River project, where construction Is
rapidly going on under contract and
where any funds advanced are to be
repaid in full, with interest at 4 per
cent
THE sooner the Hoover Dam is COM
pleted, the sooner interest payments will
begin and a great community receive
protection from inevitable floods. AL
deficiency estimate to keep this project
going properly will be necessary unless
losses are to be incurred rather than
savings are to be made. The chairman
Of the Appropriations Committee stated
that such deficiency appropriations were
