U.S.. Defense PROGRAM
May Hit Snag Over
Contract Authorizing
Tober Hits Sporine Of
Deficit on Grounds
1t Breaks Rules

Representative Taber, Republican
of New York threatened today to
block an administration proposal
under which Congress could ap-
prove $186, $4,000 worth OF ma
'tional defense expenditures With
out increasing this years deficit.
He served notice that he IN
tended to fight all plans to give
Government agencies the right to
commit Congress to future ex-
penditures through the use of con-
tract authorizations.
Under the policy which Mr.. Taber
criticized Congress authorizes Gov
ernment agencies to contract fol
some-expenditures before money is
appropriated to meet them. Ap-
preparations to satisfy the con-
tracts are voted later, usually tbs
following year.
This method has been used re-
peatedly in recent defense appro-
priation bills. It was proposed
again this year by President Roose
welt to cover some of the propos-
ais in both the Army and Navy sup
ply bills.
Service Items in Budget.
Contract authorizations listed IN
the budget for the two services
follow:
Army-Panama Canal, new locks
protective devices and other facili-
ties, sos, SOC, 900; Air Corps, $25,.
100000; ordnance. $25 ,000, 900; mil
itary posts, $12,OOO,OOO.
Navy-New aircraft, $4,000, 900.
Mr.. Taber. senior Republican
member of the Appropriations Com.
mittee, succeeded yesterday in strik-
ing from the $1,100,187, ,907 inde-
pendent Offices appropriation bill
shortly before the House passed that
measure-a provision to give the
Maritime Commission an additiona.
contract authorization of $50, 900, :
600. Congress previously had given
the commission power to assume
contractual obligations of $445 900, :
600 in connection with its 10-yeal
shipbuilding program.
Outlawed by House Rules.
The additional authorization was
stricken out on Mr.. Taber's point
of order that it constituted legisla-
ton in an appropriation bill-out-
lawed by House rules, but frequent.
ly permitted by the membership.
I'm going to make a point o1
order against every contract au.
thorization that comes up in thu
future" Mr.. Taber told reporters
Il don't intend to see any backlog
piled up"
Asserting Congress had created 8
$488, ,000, 900 backlog Of that sort last
year, Mr.. Taber said he thought
his plan promised eventual saving
because members won't appropriate
money where they will approve
contract authorizations"

half"
The attorney, the presiding exam
liner said, had complained of the way
the hearing was conducted.
Mr.. Pratt was on the committee
witness stand while the Madison
case discussed and identified the
correspondence.
Cost Fixed at Million.
Earlier, officials of the Eagle
Picher Mining g. Smelling Co. OF
Joplin, Mo-, sent word to the COM
mittee that it will cost the corpora
ton more than 100000 If the
court upholds an order Of the N. L.
r. B. directing reinstatement Of 204
employees.
Harry w. Blair, an attorney for
the company, gave the committee
this information after q telephone
call to Joplin.
The estimate mentioned is only a
rough computation, Mr.. Blair indi-
Gated, because an audit, costing
around $4,000, would be necessary
to determine how much was owing
to each man. The employees would
be entitled to back pay from July
5, 1896, to the date Of their return
to work.
The Eagle Picher case, the boards
conduct of which has been placed
under committee scrutiny, is pend
ing in the Eighth United States Cir
cult Court of Appeals.

1t must decide whether upon the first
signs Of increased business we should
abandon all measures designed to
bring security to American wage
earners. whether we should repeat
again the disastrous mistakes Of
1897.
Labor believes that the Ameri-
can people will vigorously reiterate
their conviction that America prob
lens must and will be solved in this
country by American methods. that
we must stcadfastly turn aside from
giddy dreams of foreign ventures.
The American people will. we
believe. demand that those who are
without work, food and shelter shall
not be abandoned. They will require
OF their government that it adopt a
vigorous progressive internal pro-
gram. intensifying its efforts for the
welfare Of the many.
