Congress Baking At Huge Economy Slash
President, Secretary of Treasury Morgenthau Want S7OO,OOO,OO0 Cut in Federal Expenses; figh-
 way Blow Is Not Pleasing
BY LYLE c. WILSON Limited Press Staff CorrespOndent)

NOMVeU 1ICSO Ss0AA NvAkS0F~AsWSsavp
 Washington, Dec. l-(uP)-Fed- eral economy brakes began to slip today, jeopardizing the administra- tion,s budget balancing plans tor the next fiscal year. congress hallksd at the first appiicati6sl of tveAgary economy plans which embrace on overall 4f00, ,000, 900 reducticEl@, iin federal expenditures. M
 The first part of this program was proposed by President Roosevelt il, a message to Congress asking eEner- gency legislation to reduce mex. years federal road building expen- ditures by about $l00,000,000.
 Behind scattered. outspoken op- position there were formidable rum- bles of cloak room protest against economy at the expense of improved highways. Few members endorsed MT. Roosevelt's economy move and some passed private word that an economy bill was not likely at this session.
 White House Pressure
 White House pressure for action may overcome congressional reluct- ance to cut road funds. The tn1rfie- diately unfavorable reaction to the road economy message, however. foretold further difficulty in effect ing remaining budget balancing eco- monies.
 The treasury economy plans, which MT. Roosevelt evidently in- tends to apply immediately, selected some of the most tender spots for the savings axe. Secretary of Treas- ury Henry Morganthau, Jr, out lined the administration program last month in a New York speech which was predicated on the theory that the only way to balance the budget in the next fiscal year was to reduce expenses. Morgenthau opposed increased tax rates.
 Estimating that this years net de- ficit would be approximately $685. 900, 900, Morgenthau said federal ex- penditures for the next fiscal year should be reduced by that same amount. Then, If revenue were at existing levels by ex- isting taxes, then budget would be or very nearly so.

EMPLOYERS
LIABILITY UNDER
LAW EXPLAINED

Columbus, O. (OLNS)- Many Ohio
employers who were exempt in 1886
from payment into the unemployment
fund because they did not have eight
or more employees, must pay on their
1887 payroll, as employers of three
or more persons are now liable under
the Ohio Act.
Because they were exempt in 1886,
a number of employers in the state
are confused in thinking that they
are not now liable, and are failing to
contribute to the fund, Director Fred
L. Biechele of the Unemployment
Compensation Commission said
For the year 1887 and thereafter,
any employer having three or more
workers in covered occupations at any
time is liable for contributions under
the Ohio law, Biechele points out.
Some employers feel that they do
not have to pay contributions because
they did not receive a form from the
Commission, but this does not relieve
them of the responsibility imposed by
the law. Forms may be obtained by
writing the Commission.

JOINT ACTION
OF The Officers of the Ohio
State Federation of Labor
and the Ohio State Building
Trades Council

AT joint meeting Of the executive
officers of the Ohio State Federation
of Labor and the executive officers of
the Ohio State Building Trades Coun-
ell, in the Neil House, Columbus, Ohio,
Tuesday afternoon, December Z, 1887,
consideration was given to Governor
Davey's proposal to amend the Ohio
Unemployment Law so as to permit
the payment of out-of-wark benefits
provided for in the law to begin Jan
uary /, 1888 instead of January 1, 1899.
The joint meeting of the above
named officers went on record as ap-
preciative of Governor Davey's desire
to make available to unemployed wor-
kers in Ohio the benefits of the un-
employment insurance law one year
earlier than provided for in the law
now in effect, but in view Of the fact
that the daily newspapers have report
ed that the Federal Security Board in
Washington has declared that an
amendment by the General Assembly
OF Ohio advancing the date of such
payments to January i, 1888, would
be violative of the Federal Act and
could not be effective unless the Con-
gress amends the Federal Act in ae-
cord with such state amendment of
the Ohio Law, the joint meeting went
on record unanimously to declare that
in its opinion no change should be
made in the Ohio Law until such time
as it is assured that any such change
is in accord with the Federal Law and
will be approved by the Federal
Security Board.
Further, the joint meeting of the ex-
ecutives went on record that Governor
Davey and the General Assembly
should give their immediate attention
to the enactment of relief legislation
at once to relieve the distress existing
at the present time because of the
slump in business and the consequent
increase in unemployment in the State.
The joint meeting indorsed by Gov
ernor Davey's proposal to have the
