bany, N. Y., April 10, in raids on more 
than twenty saloons. About thirty-six

Board for Vocational Education, was re¬ 
sponsible for the order to employees of the 
board to be “hard boiled” in dealing with 
applications of wounded service men, Eu¬ 
gene H. Meyer, an employee of the board, 
testified April 13 before the House < om- 
mitt.ee investigating the board’s activities. 
Meyer told the committee that Brigham 
during a conversation with him and an¬ 
other employee of the hoard, had admitted 
the authorship of the order, and that he 
had directed it sent to all offices. 
Deportation of 390 of the 3,000 persons 
arrested in the radical raids made by the 
Department of Justice against the Com¬ 
munist and Communist Labor parties sev¬ 
eral months ago. has been ordered by the 
Department of Labor. A review issued

With two big money bills—the sundry 
civil and general deficiency—still remain¬ 
ing to be slashed by the House economy 
surgeons. Republican lea del's already have 
succeeded in paring nearly a billion dol¬ 
lars off the estimates submitted by the 
executive departments for the fiscal year 
of 1921. which begins July 1. The net 
reduction in appropriations thus far re¬ 
ported for 1921 over similar ones made 
for 1920 totals $600,840,908. The Re¬ 
publican economy program calls for a 
billion dollars saving. It will be P“ s ' 
sible to slash hundreds of millions off the 
sundry civil bill. The general deficiency 
hill is not expected to he anywhere near 
as large as the one a year ago. The big¬ 
gest reduction made by (he House econo¬ 
mizers came April 13. when the army ap¬ 
propriation bill was reported It carries 
only $377,240,941. and the War Depart¬ 
ment had asked for $982,800,020. This 
is $005,553,070 less than the estimates. 
The 1920 appropriation was for 877”- 
•>•> i 077 r>0, or S395.077VJ33.50 move than 
for 1921.
