present strength of 118.750 to the
new authorization of 165.000 men.
The senate proposal which was
accepted provided that the increase
should begin at once, with an ex

cluded in the bill.
Hie ptx>pased increase, recom

huge appropriation would endanger
the nation’s credit.
Pirn Indications that strong-arm
methods would be employed to
choke off an Incipient filibuster
came just as the senate convened,
an hour earlier than customary.
Senator Robinson, the majority
chieftain, moved to table a ridei
by Senator Thomas providing for a
broad mandatory silver inflation
To make money more plentiful and
help pay the reRef bill.
This parliamentary club is even
more drastic than cloture for it

U Milder Amendment
The tabling motion earned 40 tc

milUfi bo put in a milder silver
amendment to check further delay
ing tactics.
The modified amendment directi
the treasury to issue silver cert
ificates against all silver bullion
now on hana or still to be acquired
The certificates would be issued,
however, on the basis of silver val
ued at 11.29 an ounce Instead of the
actual cast, Tne amendment would
require that tills money be kept in

It It also authorizes the treasury tc
do what it i* now doing—trade gold

quired and to accept silver at agreed
prices in settlement of any balances

Tue silver-haired Thomas, who

til ‘‘prater .Sunday morning." was
t..oc*-mu I i by Glass’ quick ac

Then, in quick succession and
witn steam-roller chair orders add

shouted down a $4,000,000, 00 green
back amendment by Senator Wheel

amend menu from the democratic
side, also without roll calls.
These were by McOarran <D

Conferees Named
Immediately after passage, com
ing two months after the house
approved the bill January 24. Vice
President Gamer named Senator

Democrats, and Keyes, and Hale,
republicans, as conferees to com
pose difference* with the house.
The senate then adjourned un
til Tuesday. Then, the treasury
Ktoifice appropriation bill will be

In completely rewriting the bill
in committee and on the floor, the
senate clipped few of the original
broad powers to the president which
the house had delegated. Most
amendments are expected to be ac

though, the McCarran and George
amendments may cause delay.

Roosevelt told congress at the out
set of the session, the administra

business of relief,” meaning the

A total of 3.500 00 persons will
be taken from the relief rolls and
given Job* on hundreds of differ
ent types of public works, at wages
higher than relief pay, but in most
instances below the prevailing pri

to be determined. What would hap

President Roosevelt made no com

his warning that for every dollar
above budget estimates congress
spends, it should provide a dollar
of revenue through new taxation.
