Paris Letter

 Paris (UP)-Faced with the probability of an S,o00,O0o,ooo franc budget deficit for 1884, France and It's young and capable financial leaders will have to per- form some gold standard miracles when the chamber of deputies meets in october or November.
 The finance ministry is con- cluding the details of a stupen- dous lottery which will be drawn on Armistice day. and only 40 per cent of which will go to the needy government, mostly for agriculture and pensions.
 The remains of a ten milliard franc treasury loan probably will be offered, and although this will be snapped up, because of the high rates and attractive bond prices, there still will be an esti- mated 4,OOO, 100000 franc deficit from 1898, and with the probable eight milliard for 1884. the coun- try's public debt will present an exceedingly large figure.
 Deficits Increased
 Since the deficit of 1880. which was $500, 100000. the budget defi- tlL5 anu PuOAAC aO0h s0bAAo ktaFR been mounting steadily. so that with the present 1883 deficit still outstanding, France should have debt of 22,450,O00.000. not counting the eight milliards for 1884.
 Some lively debating is ex- pected when the autumn parlia- ment meets. and already the min- ister of Budget Lamoureux is re- ceiving projects which contem- plate drastic economies--econo- mics which would have reversed the government if enforced last year.
 As in all such pre-pasliament projects, the economies are ail- embracing. It is shown that sav- ings of $500, ,000,0e0 francs can bo made without reducing the ap- propriations for national defense and without reducing the speed in the reduction of the national debt.
 Many Economies Some of the economies include | a cut of 1,boO millions In suhsidies for industries; three milliards for

Washington. - The real back ground behind the first formal ruling of tho national labor board was us interesting as the ruling It. self was important.
 The board held the Berkeley Woolen Co in violation of It's NRA code and the recovery net itself, since 1t had refused to deal with any employees representative who wasn't n worker in It's mill.
 That company has mills at Mar tinsburg, W. Va, and Winchester, Va. Vice President William F. Kelly of the United Textile Work ers pulled Q 100 per cent strike of It's 400 workers at Martinsburg af- ter the company was alleged to have fired members of an entire union committee when 1t called on the management.
 The case reached the board for a strike settlement hearing, Elm. ployer representatives failed to show. A telephone call came to Chairman Bob Wagner's office from Martinsburg, purportedly from one MT Miller, chairman of the strik- ers' committee, to the effect that the strike was being settled local ". Miller was in Wagner's office at tho time.
 Labor Speech Blocked
 Meanwhile, Kelly had gone to tell tho Winchester workers about the Martinsburg strike. The mayor, county commissioner and chiof of police said he could have the court house steps. Tho meeting was ad- vertised. But the general manager Of the company is an important politician. That night Kelly found tho steps occupied by the Salvation Army, meeting there for the first time, and the local police there to bar other meetings. The higher of- ficials had disappeared.
 The ruling, applying to the Mar. tinsburg mill, means that employees may be represented by outside union leaders or attorneys if they desire, and their own representa- lives mustn't be fired. The Berke. Icy company faces federal prosecu- ton If 1t persists in violation. Tho precedent, In view of widespread labor troubles. Is extremely impor- tant.

FIN HI | NEW Il l YORK
By JULIA BLANsHARD

HV 4HHAA nNAf&N HIAAstU
 New York-These are gay days down at S2 Mulberry street, right In the heart of the Ghetto. For Papa Moneta, the genial host at the famous Italian restaurant which bears his name, is celebrating the day 30 years ago when he arrived in America. He can't remember the exact date. But he knows 1t was in September, so he Is cele- brhting all month.
 Other famous eating places in that vicinity have long since nov ed uptown. But Moneta's just kept on making the same delectable Scallopine, znuppa de Pesce (Ital- ian Bouillabaise soup) Spaghetti Bolognese and other gourmet's dishes. So the world has continued beating a patch to his door--even though you have to take a taxi to find 32 Mulberry street, unless you were born on the Bbwery and know It's tortuous, dingy little streets.
 Papa's Proud Patrons.
 The other day John w. Davis. who lunches at Moneta's regularly, was deep in conversation with hts client, Isidore Kresel, the attorney who won acclaim as Judge Sea- bury's associate in the investigation of Magistrates Courts but who now is being tried for his former com nection with the defunct United States Bank. ...
 George Jean Nathan and
 Henry T.. Menchen used to
 lunch together there daily,
 talking for hours: Now that
 they are cherlshing an an-
 tngpnisin toward each other,
 fore coming, tb make sure the other isn't there ~. Mary Pickford says she never knew New York until she ate at Moneta's. During the Seabury investigation, the committee re- served q long table there each noon. Judge Seabury himself came regularly, until he got q black hand letter threatening to blow him up If he ever stepped into Mulberry street again. Old Papa Moneta offered to go to the court house, meet Seabury and walk to and from the restaurant with him. But seabury hasn't been back. With Metal, to Boot! Madame Julienne. Paris boot maker and designer, now visiting In America, is the only woman in the world who has been through the fashioned mill of serving an apprenticeship to bootmnker, learning every single operation In making shoe. During the war, she was working for her father at Chateau Thierry. During the win ter. supplies for the French army we're delayed and when they ar- rived several of the officers did not get badly needed shoes. So Madame Jullenne shod those who needed 1t. Her inost-prized pos. session is q medal that the French government gave her for this very act.
 Maybe it Is superstition or | maybe 1t Is just . fear of germs. But George Slocum, English journalist who often
 visits New York, never drinks without making sure that the
 glass Is just freshly wiped =. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., never
 dimes in public without wtplng his siiycrwarc on on his Iinp-
 kin before using 1t. Gene
 Tunncy has . habit of wiping
 out plates before putting food
 on them. ...

BLANTON POSTAL
cOMPLA|NTPR TPROBED
Department Seeks Data on
Alleged Irregular Savings
Account Payment.

The Post ONCE Department has be-
gun an investigation of s2,500 postal
savings account payment which Repre-
sentative Blanton. Democrat. Of Texas.
alleges was irregular and for which he
is trying to hold the postmaster who
made it responsible.
Blanton sought to make direct col
lection from the postmaster in behalf
of a woman client, and the postmaster,
J. E. Meroney Of Ranger, Tex, in Mr.
Blanton's district, brought the matter to
the attention of the department. The
department thereupon asked Blanton
for details.
The savings account was that Of Mrs.
NJ. A. E. Frost of Ranger who has since
died, and upon her request, was paid to
a brother, c. E. Bruce, early in 1882.
At that time, Mrs. Frost had been ad-
judged of unsound mind, but was con-
testing the findings Blanton, on behalf
of Mrs. Fay Frost Aldham, a grand
daughter and heir-at-law of Mrs. Frost,
VINO also is administrative Of the latters
estate, contends the surrounding cir
cumStances made the payment irregular
A recent letter from Blanton to the
postmaster suggesting he probably would
have trouble with the Department II the
case became known, and that q private
settlement of the matter might be af-
fected, was forwarded TO Washington by
Meroney along with other documents
figuring in the matter, and prompted
the further inquiry on Blanton by the
department.
A study of postal regulations. indicat-
ed that the postmaster had handled the
matter according to law, it was pointed
out, nasmuch as he said he was not
conversant with the lunacy proceedings.
