falling off in tax receipts, revised his
estimates for the fiscal years 1897 and
1888 He pictured deficit on June
80 next, the close of the present fiscal
year, of $2,557 100000, or $685. 900 900
over his estimate made In his January
budget message.
The President also foreshadowed a
deficit at the close of the fiscal year
June 80, 1888, of s418,OO0OOO.
Analyzing the tax returns received
in March of this year under the new
tax law, the President said that in
come taxes will produce S267 ,20O, 900
less than the former estimate for the
fiscal year 1887.
THE receipts for the first nine
months of this fiscal year" the Presi-
dent continued, indicate that other
revenues will be 1887, 100000 less than
the estimate, which is due In large
part to the obstruction of collections
by numerous law suits against the
Government"
Agencies Told to Cut Costs.
The President said that, aware Of
this reduction in revenue, he had di-
rected the heads Of Government
agencies to make substantial savings
by eliminating or deferring all ex-
penditures not absolutely necessary
during this period" Savings amount
ing to s295, ,ooo,o below the estimate
Of last January, he said, should result
from this order.
Dealing with the fiscal year 1898,

that receipts will be 1887, $4,000 less

Oll Z hSC.)
1t has been the historical policy of
the Republican party, he said, to keep
expenditures down, and he was glad to
restate that policy.
Warning Is Given.
In the Presidents message today,
no proposal was advanced for increase
of taxes at this time, although a hint
of it at the next session is given. The
President warned Congress, however,
that II appropriations should be made
during this session in excess OF his
estimates, it would be necessary to
provide new and additional revenues.
He demanded the re-enactment Of
certain taxes which are due to expire
this year.
In his budget message to Congress,
transmitted January 8, he said: Al
though we must continue to spend
substantial sums to provide work for
those whom industry has not yet alb
sorbed, the 1898 budget is in balance
And except for debt reduction of
$40l ,5l5,000, it will remain in bal
ance, even if later on there are in
cluded additional expenditures OF as
much as $685., ,123, 900 for recovery
and relief"
At that time the President promised
to send later his estimates of appro-
priations for relief His message to-
day set $500, 100000 as the total to
be appropriated for that.
The President today, because of the
Evening star., 1937-04-20

than was anticipated last January,
the reduction Of $410,0O0,000 in the
estimate Of income taxes being slightly
offset by increases IN other receipts"
Pointing out that the present indi-
Gated net deficit for the fiscal year
1888 was $418,000. 900, the President
added:
II propose to use every means at
my command to eliminate this deficit
during the coming fiscal year. I ex-
pect to accomplish this by taking
definite action at the beginning of
the next fiscal year % to withhold
from enforcement for expenditure in
50 far as possible with due regard to
proper functioning of the executive
departments and agencies a substan-
tial percentage Of the funds available
for that year, and CD to increase
the receipts Of the Treasury through
the liquidation OF assets Of certain Of
the emergency agencies.
More Appropriation Frowned On,
The President shut down hard on
appropriations by Congress outside Of
his estimates, no matter how worthy
the cause, saying: And while recoR-
nize many opportunities to improve
social and economic conditions through
Federal action, I am convinced that
the success Of our whole program and
the permanent security of our people
demand that we adjust all expendi-
lures within the limits OF my budget
estimate"
The President went further in his
message today to drive home the need
OF the curtailment Of Government ex-
penditures than he has ever done
since the passage Of the original econ
omy act at the outset Of his admins
tration in 1888.
While he asked for no new taxes at
the present session, his message indi-
Gated they may be necessary when
Congress opens it's next session in
January, 1888. On this point he said:
1T has become apparent that there
Is immediate need for careful survey
OF the present tax structure. The
Treasury will be prepared by Noyem-
ber next to present to the appropriate
committees Of Congress information as
to such loop holes as may exist in the

The amount OF the relief budget

every practical effort should be made
to limit expenditures and appropria-
tions so as to close as soon as possible
the gap between income and outgo"

C.I. 0. CLAIMS MAJOR
VICTORY IN SOUTH
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, April 20.-Organ-
izers claimed "a major victory" for the
c. I. o. today In announcing that the
Richmond Piece Dye Works, employing
1873 workers, has signed working
agreement with the Textile Workers
Organizing Committee.
John A. Peel, T. w. O. c. regional
director, in making the announcement,
said the agreement was "the first
major victory for the T. w. o. c. in
the South" and that the committee
leaders were planning to organize all
Richmond textile plants under the
John L. Lewis banner.
Peel said the dye works agreement
was the first skirmish in the avowed
campaign of the T. W. 0. c. to or
ganize all local textile plants, including
the Du Pont rayon plant at Ampthill.
The agreement at the dye works will
become effective April %. Peel said
the pay increases would average 221s
per cent to 37l2 per cent.

and harbors, reclamation, Federal
buildings and other public works.
I recognize the need for flood
prevention and control, but it
should be realized that to finance
such large immediate expenditures
as are contemplated by the ma
jority Of the flood control bills now
pending in the Congress would i'm
pose an unjustiflable burden upon
the Federal Trec sury.
Bills involving additional au-
thorization of more than $50O,000,-
600 for highways have been intro
duced despite the fact that ex-
penditures for this purpose during
the last four years have exceeded
one billion dollars and that there
are existing authorizations for ex-
penditures during the next two
years of nearly $3.50, 100000
The maintenance Of a sound
fiscal policy requires the careful
planning Of authorizations as we'll
as appropriations. 1t is impossible
to maintain the proper balance
between revenues and Expenditures
unless restraint is exercised with
respect to authorizations Of appro-
priations. 1t is a matter OF con-
Germ to you and to me who are
working for a balanced budget that
so many special groups exert the
strongest pressure to bring about
increases in Government expedi-
lures. They pay little attention to
the fact that the budget, as sub
mitted, represents a co-ordinated
fiscal program and that material
departures therefrom destroy the
whole purpose of the program. If
we are to avoid a continuation of
deficit, we must resist these i'm
portunities or provide the neces-
sary revenues to meet the increas-
ing costs.
1t is a matter of common knowl-
edge that th2 principal danger to
modern civilization lies in those
nations which largely because Of
an armament race are headed di-
rectly toward bankruptcy. In pro-
portion to national budgets the
United States is spending a far
smaller proportion of Government
income for armaments than the
nations to which I refer. 1t be-
hooves us, therefore, to continue
our efforts to make both ends Of
our economy meet.
It has become apparent that
there is an immediate need for a
careful survey Of the present tax
structure. The Treasury will be
prepared by November, next, to
present to the appropriate commit
tees OF the Congress information
as to such loopholes as may exist
in the present revenue laws and
suggestions for such new or addi-
tional taxes as may be necessary
to meet deficiencies, If any, in the
revenue-producing power of the
present levies. This will permit
these committees to study such in
formation and suggestions for the
purpose OF proposing early in the
next session Of the Congress legis-
lation necessary to remedy defects
in the present tax laws.
recommend that An appropria-
ton Of $1,000, 100000 be provided
for work relief for the fiscal year
1898 and that It be made available
Evening star., 1937-04-20
II any. in the revenue-producing pow
er OF the present levies."
Committees Then Can Acf

Committees Then Can Act.
He said that in this way the COM
mittees Of Congress, the Finance Com
mittee OF the Senate and the Ways and
Means Committee Of the House will
be able to make recommendations for
tax legislation, II necessary, early In
the next session Of Congress.
The Presidents recommendation
for the work relief appropriation was
brief and went into no detail. He
merely asked for . lump sum OF ST.
500, 900 900 and asked that it be made
available early In June so that its
expenditure can be properly planned
prior to July l..
In some detail the President an
alyzed the proposals carried in bills
introduced in Congress outside his
budget estimates. He said that bills
now being pressed for enactment
would commit the Government to
early expenditures Of more than S.
000, 100000. About $4,000, ,00O, 900 of
these authorizations are for the con-
struction Of additional public works.
The President called attention to the
fact that there are already existing
authorizations Of almost $4,000, ,0OO,-
900 for this purpose, and also to the
fact that for the last three years the
Government has set up a program
for general public works and that he
has often said such q program should
be kept within the limit Of $500, ,0O0,-
600 year.
Flood Control Held Big Burden.
Admitting the need for flood preven-
ton and control. he said that the
large immediate expenditures contem-
plated by the majority of flood control
bills would impose an unjustifiable
burden at this time upon the Federal
Treasury. He also disapproved bills
making additional authorizations for
more than $5OO,000,0O for highways.
He hit strongly at special groups"
which are exerting the strongest pres
sure to bring about increases in Gov
ernment expenditures. At the same
time he defended the expenditures
which are being made by the Govern
ment for national defense, pointing
out that the United States is spending
a far smaller proportion of Govern
ment income, in proportion to national
