t Dallas; Texas, i S 16. Reports filtering in from
the five stricken coti ; s in the heart of Sunday's hurri

be the worst in the iustory of the Texas coast since the

Accurate estimate of the lotai dead
was impossible". ' .
A' long distance telephone message
from Corpus Christ! this afternoon said
that not more than 100 were drowned in
that district, which ig the most thickly
populated of the stricken area.
It was generally believed the estimate
of ; Brigadier General J. ? F. Wolterg of
the Texas National Guard, made in a
telegram to Governor Hobby 'at AutiHn",
' was basod on unreliable information.
General Woltcrs said at least one thou
sand were dead. "
Carefully checked reports to the Uni
ted Press from Corpus, Christi, Sinton
and nearby towns indicated seventy
eight bodies have been recovered and
that the probnble death toll is around
oue hundred.

Bearing Upon Situation
Declares Senator.
Washington, Sept. 1(5. Senator Lccige
today : replied to President WiUou 's
charge at Portland, Or., that Lodge, is
inconsistent in his opposition to the
league or nations. -.
The president quoted from a speech
by Lodge at Union Colicgc in 1916 to
show that Lodge had then favored a
league.
"The mere fact thnt a man changes
his -mind has no bearing on the merits
of a case," said Lodge. "If we are
looking for inconsistencies they can be
found in the greatest men."
He then quoted from President Wil
son's pre-war speeches in which Wilson
urged American neutrality to show that
the president himself had been incon
sistent with respect to participation in
the war. ,
. "1 do not criticize the president be
cause he was inconsistent," said Lodge.
"But he was inconsistent."
Lodge said' that the.peech to which
the president referred representea the
views hold in common with Theodore
Rfiosevelt at that time, that there should
be some league of nations backed by
force to preserve world peace.

AreSfeggerE.
Washington, Sept. 16. (United
Press) The federal treasury already
faces a deficit ot 3,591;73,343.B6 for
the present f iscalt' year, , Representative
Good, Iowa, chairman of the house ap
propriations , eomnittei declared in a
speech to the house today. -
'Good soundedj a warning that "the
actual condition) confronting the treas- j
ury is so alarming that we may well
pause and. calmly . consider obligations
already existing and that must be met
Defore entering on enlarged -programs
which call, for additional ... expendi
tures." :; - '
The demands oh the treasury during
the present fiscal year are staggering,
Good said. While the average peace
time expenditure of the government ts
slightly more than $1,000,000,000, Good
declared that the total requirements of
the government, outside the present ur
gent deficiency Ibul and appropriations
that will 'be asked for by June 03, 1920,
will be $10,831,201,585.26. The revenues
for the fiscal year, he said, will be
$7,239,938,240. . " ' j
Good strongly .recommended, the ap-'
pointment by President Wilson of, a
national . finance officer to have com
plete1 Aversight of all government ex
penditures, so that economy may be
practiced to the limit by the govern
ment, adding that -the high cost of liv
ing probaly cannot ibe materially re
duced while tho government continues
its "orgy of spending."
Good enumerated the revenues of
the country as follows:
Internal - Tevenue, income, excess
profits and estate taxes, $4,950,000,
000; customs $20,000,000; public lands
$3,000,000; war sal vago $600,000,000 ;
victory loan installments $1,032,000,;,
000; postal service $404,928,240.
Of the expenditures, 'Good said $7,
345,617,283,58 is for direct appropria
tions, previously made.
Good called upon the presidont to
use his authority to produce the strict
est governmental economy.'
" He has the authority under the law
and should exercise to the end that
estimates for appropriations will bo
greatly reduced and that the treasury
which is tne firBt uno or aerense
against public extravagance, may re
establish its lines on a policy of effi
ciency and economy," the chairman
declared, in. explaining the big reduc
tions made in the estimates embodied
in the deficiency bill which he called
up today .The vommittee cut estimates
down to one third the amounts asked.
Regarding the high cost of living,
Good said it was due to the following
causes: -
"An increase in the circulating me
dium, the amount bciiu; doubled.
"And increased prices are made
necessary to meet increased cost of
production, due in turn to increased
wages, decrease in labor efficiency and
increase in taxes. The increase in the

STRIKERS KEEP LABOR
DEPAMfEDGE
32 WaBdfct ftcposals Pri
To Offeb For Settle- y-
By Balph F. Conch
(Cnited Press Staff Correspondent.)
Washington, " Sept, 16. Thirty-tws
strikes hate beta put up to the labor
department for settlement ainVe August
26, whoa the industrial truce asked by
President Wilson was to have gone into
effect
These figures ia the hands of the de
portment 's conciliation bureau, indicate,
according to officials, that since the
asking of the truce, labor troubles have
been on the "upward trend rather than
downward.'!
, Employers have declared but foat
lockouts tdurini; the three weeks since
August 26, involving less than 600 men,
the bureau records show. ;
Officials of the-labor bureau empha
size' that their figures show a vory
small proportion of the men actually on
strike sinee they include only the dts-
putes which the bureau has been usked
to step in. v
. The statistics are generally taken,
however, as showing vory cloarly wheth
er strikes arc on the increase or de
crease. . '.'
Men now idle through strikes total
approximately 150,000 according to the
bureau's reports. -
Threatened strikes, where unions have
voted walkouts and have served ulti
matums on their employers, total more
than 21,000 while thousands more mon
are involved in labor disputes classed by
disputes classed py
tho department as ' ' controversies ' and
wuicn .nave nor yet reacuuu nie Bingo
where a strike vote ..has been taken.
This does not include the threatened
steel strike or postponed railroad Bhog-
In addition to the strikes which have
boen reported to the bureau and which
thrown about 15,000 men out of work
officials of the bureau estimate that
other labor troubles as yet officially un
reported would bring the total number
idle to a figure above 00,000.
Refusal of employers to recognise the
union is the principal cause of strikes
which tho labor department is'now at
tempting to mediate, indicating, offi
cials say, that organized labor is, push
ing its campaign. In some of the strikes
wage demands is a secondary cause. In
most, however, the only demand is the
right of collective bargaining.
Government concilatois are ordeied to
work in controversies immediately ihey
are called to the attention of tho labor
department, officials said today. Near
ly fifty government mediators are work
ing night and day in every part ol tho
United Sttaea, since the industrial truce
was asked, department records indicate.

Washington, Sept. 16. Senate leaders
today decided that there would be no
real action this week on the peace trea
ty, formally called up yesterday. ".
' There will bo - speeches, but actuU
reading of the treaty is to go over prob
ably until late in the present week or
even to next week, said Sonator Curtis,
republican whip.
The reason is that Sonator Lodge and
others, opposing the pact in its present
form want to loave Senator Hiram John

against the league.'' " - -
Sonator Borah, who also has been
