Budget Balancing
Committee Urged
In U.S 5. Congress

WASHINGTON, May 6.
(UP)-Sen. Robert A. Taft,
r., Ohio, today proposed Gre
alton of a joint congressional
committee to draft a COM
prehensive budget balancing pro-
gram.
Taft, who figures prominently in
speculation over 1910 Republican
presidential candidates, said he
feared continued large-scale gov
ernment spending would result In
initiation and national bankruptcy.
The economy issue will be raised
by Taft and other senators next
week when the senate considers
$1,213,16O,667 agriculture depart
ment appropriation bill containing
an unbudgeted 100000 for farm
benefits. Approved yesterday by the
senate appropriations committee.
that item threatens to wipe out all
economies effected by this con-
gress and throw President Roose-
velts 1910 budget out of gear.
Mr.. Roosevelt budgeted only
S485 ,000 900 for soil conservation
payments. Approximately 100000
900 additional will be available from
custom receipts for use in distrlou-
ton of surplus farm commodities.
The president has warned that
additional benefits would have to
be compensated for by new taxes.

John r. Steelman, head OF the
U. S. conciliation service, goaded
contract negotiators for the APP
palachian bituminous industry into
further discussions after they twice
had confessed inability to agree.
Asserting that he represented
the public" which the negotiaJors
understood to mean President
Roosevelt, Steelman told repreSen-
tativeS of management and labor
that "the American people will not
stand for a state of insure ;tion."
Mayor F.. H. LaGuardia, speaking
as the five weeks Appalachian Shut
down extended to all coal fields
making 100000 miners idle, added
his voice to the official insistence e
upon a settlement.
Asserting that the coal situation
was serious, very serious, La
Guardia for the fourth time since
the eastern shutdown started OH
April l asked the president co take
personal action.
Mr.. Roosevelt has indicated here
tofore that he preferred to leave
the situation in the hands of the
conciliatory service, but he has
been keeping in close touch.
Steelman's action prevented, at
least temporarily, the breakup OF
the Appalachian conference which
mas handled contractural relations
between coal operators and John
l.. Lewis United Mine Workers OF
America for the past six years.
Whether it ultimately would re-
store peace to the S4,000,000, 900
industry, now suspended in ab-
sence of contracts" remained to be
seen.
The Appalachian agreem n t.
since the early days of the late
NRA, has been the model upon
which all soft coal contracts were
based. Directly, it applied only to
the 100000 miners and 1000 opcr-
ators in the eight state Appala-
chan area, but it has been accept
ed as the basic wage hour formula
covering the 125,000 miners in the
81 outlying" coal producing states.
The eastern miners left their
jobs April l after the Appalachian
negotiatorS had failed to agree on
contract replacing the one which
expired March 81. Western miners
followed yesterday and today.
