Daniel w Bell, acting budget di-
rector, told the House Ways and
Means Committee today the public
debt will reach S34,500, 900 900 by June
30 if the total cost of paying the bonus
is included.
He emphasized, however, that the
Treasury was unable to tell what por-
tion of the bonus certificates will be
presented for payment by that date.
Bell appeared before the committee
considering the $799, 900 900 tax pro-
members. They led him through such
a maze of inquiries that Representative
Vinson, Democrat, of Kentucky, pro-
tested they we're dull"
The financial expert testified that
while there is no such thing in the
Government as an extraordinary bud
get" the Government does have ex-
traordinary expenditures.
He said, too, he believed the Presi-
dent had lived up to the law requiring
him to make recommendations for
taxes when the budget is out of bal
ance; that no debt retirement had
been contemplated during the 1887
fiscal year, and that he did not be-
lieve he was in a position to make any
offhand suggestions for reducing Gov
ernment expenditures by as much as
$1,000, ,000,0 900.
Explains 1.-TWO Budgets"
Bell told Representative Treadway,
Republican, Massachusetts,. that when
Congressman speak of an ordinary
and extraordinary budget they are
trying merely to show to what extent
ordinary expenditures are in line
with receipts. He said that ordinary
expenditures were estimated at S.
$40, 781 900 for the 1887 fiscal year,
as against $3,626, ,723 900 this year, and
that much of the increase was at
tributed to congressional action.
National defense expenditures, he
said, have mounted from $533, 600 900
in 1885 10 s937 900, 900 contemplated
in 1887.
For 1887 the budget estimate calls
for $1,l03,0 100000 for recovery and
relief, Bell said, to which must be
added the s1,5O0, 100000 additional
for relief requested by the President,
or whatever amount Congress ap-
propriates instead of that sum. In
1885 the corresponding expenditures,
he said, were $4,347, 100000

boasted that they had nominated

Organized labor in the United
States must abandon it's traditional
attitude toward Negro workers as q
special class OF workers If it is to
conserve and add to the gains already
made, declares Charles Lionel Frank
lin, research supervisor with the
Mayors Commission on Conditions
in Harlem. in The Negro Labor
Unionist of New York, 2 just pub
lished by Columbia University Press.
Dr. Franklin study, which puts
special emphasis on the NRA and
post-NRA periods, indicates that
some PROCESS is being made and that
exclusion from aome labor unions
and limitations on membership IN
o'hers is gradually being removed
This, it is asserted, has removed the
major cause for strike breaking ac-
tivity among Negroes so that they are
no longer sthe weak union members
who refused to walk out with their
fellow unionists.o On the contrary,
they are loyal union members, the
new trend in Negro strike activity
being shown by the difference in
their actions during and Immediately
following the NRA period as COM
pared with previous years.
The Negro worker is still only a
small percentage of the organized
labor movement in Manhattan, how
ever, Negro labor unionists compris-
ing only 9.3 percent of union mem
bership. Dr. Franklin arrived at this
figure after study Of the member
ship Of 50 per cent of the unions of
Manhattan, having total member
ship of 424, 794 in 1885. OF these,
39,754 were Negroes.
The proportion Of Negro to white
union members has increased consid-
