BUDGET SHORTAGE
SEEN IN maryland.
Nice's Successor Must Find
$4,WO,000 Additional for
General Expenses.

BY the Associated Press.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, June 1.-THE
next Governor will face . difficult
financial situation. probably forcing
him to submit an unbalanced State
budget to the 1889 Legislature, because
Of the new law prohibiting future
gasoline tax diversions.
When the new Governor, who takes
office in January, 1889. begins his
budget preparation he will find that
the general fund expenditures of the
State are approximately $4,000, 900 an
nually in excess Of general fund re-
ceipts.
Prohibited by law from diverting
special gasoline funds, he must either
cut the general fund expenses by
about $4,000,o00 yearly, or submit an
unbalanced budget.
Problem Since 1892,
He could submit theoretically BAL
anced budget, it was pointed out, sub
ject to action of the Legislature, which
would be required to increase taxes
for the general fund, or float bonds
for general expenses in order to bring
the budget into balance.
The excess Of general fund appro-
priations over income has been a main
problem Of State financing since 1892
1t has been met by issuing bonds or by
diversions, despite recommendation,
that additional taxes were necessary
to boost the general fund income.
Gov. Harry W. Nice, in his last
budget message to the Legislature
pointed out the necessity Of additiona
general fund income, but the Legis-
lature took no steps to remedy the stu.
alton. It made some budget cuts tt
reduce diversions, and provided bond.

general fund.
Nice Tax Schedule.
Gov. Nice gave the Legislature
proposed schedule Of new taxes. H
pointed out that 1T is only in tn
event Of failure to enact adequat
legislation Of this sort that the fun,
transfers become vital to the main
tenance Of our State Government
The records of the State controller

Walter Hudson, Long Island rail-

the investigation. Hudson said he
noted the men because their actions
mystified him.
Every time they rode his train, he
said, they boarded it at Jamaica with
tickets bought at Pennsylvania Sta

the other. and though they apparent
ly were acquainted they did not con-

on that occasion saw them In con-

Hudson said he asked each man

The Senator said he had received
the telegram in response to a request
for information from &C. I. 4. union
organizers named Galloway and Payne
at Niles, Ohio
Text Of Telegram.
Dated at Niles on June 8, the tele-
gram to Bridges read
Relative to the postal question at
Niles, Ohio, Mr.. Galloway and Mr..
Walter J. Payne did not handle, or
inspect any packages at the Niles
Post Once. We simply had an un-
derstanding with the postmaster, as
sistant postmaster and the postal in
spector Of Youngstown, Ohio. as to
what kind Of packages would pass
through the picket lines and what
kind would not pass. 1t was agreed
that all regular mail would go through,
but packages containing clothes and
foodstuffs would not, as they were
irregular. The action taken during
the situation was to maintain peace
and order and that we have ac-
complished.
&C. B. Galloway, president; WAL
ter J. Payne, S. w. o. c. representa-
tive"
The New Hampshire Senator also
presented newspaper photographs Of
mail trucks being stopped by strike
pickets on June l, and declared:
This deliberate tampering with the
United States mail should not pass
without investigation"
Bridges then read 4 telegram from
Chairman Phillip Murray OF the Steel
Workers Organizing Committee, say
ing he would welcome an investigation,
but demanding that 1t also should
cover the illegal use of machine guns
and "gun-men" by the three steel
companies involved in the strike.
Senator McKellar asked Howes If
the department had been requested to
swear in steel company employees to
get the mails through"
Replying in the aff1mrative. Howes
read letter from an ofIicial OF the
Republic Steel Corp, making such =
suggestion. He said the department
had not yet replied to the proposal,
but that the department felt it had
no authority to do such a thing.
Howes added that the department
had directed an inquiry to determine
whether there had been any violence
by strikers toward postal employees and
that II the report was afirma tive
the department would act
| Holt suddenly asked if the Post
ONCE Department had any objection
to Bridges inquiry resolution.
After long pause, Howes replied
THE Post Once Department has NO
objection to being investigated at any
| time"
He went on to say, however, that
unless the committee found in this
preliminary inquiry that the depart
ment had been doing something
wrong" he did not "see any need for
an investigation.

has any authority to 60 into partner

Republic Steel has asked you to do. 80

Senator Guf1ey said it would be con-
nned to the steel industry.
Under Hollis motion the scope Of
the preliminary inquiry was not clearly
stated. 1t will merely permit the
calling OF any witnesses the commit
tee may desire, to decide whether
adoption OF the resolution or the
Guffey amendment is advisable.
As testimony in today's preliminary
hearings was concluded Senator
Bridges asked the committee to re-
port his resolution for an inquiry into
interruptions in the mail service. He
was supported by Senator Bailey.
Chairman McKellar, Senator OMa-
honey, Democrat, Of Wyoming; Sena-
tor Frazier, Republican, Of North
Dakota, and others objected.
Mcclellan said the committee should
first call Louis Guanieri, attorney for
the Republic Steel Corp. Bridges had
quoted Guanieri as saying he had
been told by an assistant postmaster
at Niles, Ohio, that an understanding
had been reached by him with union
members not to accept mail for the
steel plant.
Holt suggested the committee also
should call the postmasters and as
sistant postmasters at Niles, Warren
and youngstown, Ohio, the three
places where it was alleged mail had
been refused.
efinite plans for the preliminary in
quiry, Is to time and witnesses, were
left unsettled.
Before taking action, the commit
tee was told by First Assistant POST

department would not ask use OF mill

liveries OF food and clothing to work.
ers inside strike bound steel plants.
I'VE are complying with the law in
refusing to risk the lives Of our en-
ployes by asking them to carry food
into these plants, Howes said.
He testified that no postal Of
ficials had discussed the situation with
union members, and that mo agree
ments Of any kind" had been made
with any member Of the labor or
ganizations concerning the acceptance
or delivery Of mail matter"
Bridges replied Immediately by pro-
ducing . telegram he said he had re-
ceived from two union ofiicials, C.
B. Galloway and Walter J. Payne,
which said:
I'VE simply had an understanding
with the postmaster. assistant post
master and postal inspector OF
Youngstown, Ohio, as to what kind of
packages would pass through the
picket lines"
Presenting the telegram as "sur-
prise" evidence, Bridges asserted 1t
proves conclusively" that Washing
ton postal oficiak had been "misin-
formed about agreements between
Ohio post ONCE employees and the
strikers
Howes sharply disputed this con-
tentton, and insisted postal ofncials
