NEW YORK, March 2.-Mayor La
Guardia today proclaimed an emer-
gency existed in the building en-
ployes' strike, which spread rapidly
through Manhattan's residential and
business sections.
AS the walkout spread shortly after
noon through the crowded midtown
business and garment area, the mayor
ordered all city departments to ar
range for deputization of all persons
needed to provide building service as
required by health and safety stand
ards.
Municipal employees encompassed by
the proclamation total more than
10000.
When he took the action, the only
buildings in which a walkout had not
been ordered were the skyscrapers in
the financial district.

Mayor La Guardia emphasized that
his action did not concern the merits
of the controversy existing between
employees and owners" of the strike.

ers were marooned as the strike
reached into the populous garment
section in the midtown West Side.
Previously it had affected only the
residential districts north of that area.
Lobbies of some of the buildings
were congested as workers returning
from their lunches vainly tried to
ride to their Offices aloft.
A statement minimizing the serious.
ness of the strike closely followed the
mayors proclamation. 1t came from
William Rawlins, executive of the
Realty Advisory Board of Labor Re-
lations, which represents the building
owners in the strike.
Rawlins said that only $50 buildings
in the city were affected by the walk
out, and that in those buildings the
strike was not 100 per cent effective.
A replacement force was ready to
take the places of all elevator oper-
ators and other building employees who
left their jobs, he said.
Walkout Averted.
A threatened strike of hotel EN-.

The fight over Government spend
ing sharpened today as Congress
awaited President Roosevelt's $685.
100000 tax message and the Treasury
launched a s1,8O9 600, 900 financing
operation, of which $500, 900 is
new borrowing.
The loan operations will raise the
gross public debt to $3l, 300 O00, 900 on
April Is, new all-time peak. The
administration contends cash On
hand, which estimates say will total
more than $4,000, 900 on April Is,
should be substracted from the gross

Tax Message Expected.
The Presidents message, recon-
mending taxation to cover the $780,
100000 farm program, the loss of the
invalidated A. A. A. processing taxes,
and part of the bonus payment cost,
was expected to reach Congress by
tomorrow.
The President has set aside the
afternoon for completing the mes
sage. He will not deliver it in per-
son, it was said at the White House.
Congress, which convened January
3, stood today at about the half
way mark of projected four months
session, and it appeared that much
of the remaining time would be oc-
cupied with fiscal controversies.
With such major issues as the
bonus, farm relief and neutrality
of congressional hands, the two para
mount topics remaining are taxes
and relief. Some weeks are expected
to elapse before the administration
submits its recommendations for
relief for the fiscal year beginning

certain nominee for President,
though they emphasized that he
had not specifically endorsed the
proposals.
The nine-point program fol

market by use of the tariff
power of Congress and impoSi-
ton of quotas.
2. Revise reciprocal tariff
law to require ratification of
treaties by Senate and aban-
