J u 2 EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1919 TJWpf . If Hfc '; fi ' it i I i i t MOORE MISTAKEN, GAFFNEY ASSERTS Mayor-elect Misinformed as to True Condition of City's Fi nances, He Declares IN CONFERENCE TODAY Mayor- fleet Mooro hai been mi.-dn formed regarding the city's financinl nf falrfi, according to ,Toeph 1'. Onffney, chnlrmau of the flnnneo committee of Councils, wlio commented today upon Mr. Moorc'N (.tntetnent of yotorday. Mr. OnfTney said lie would try to gee Mr. Moore today and eoufer with htm on various mntterN pertaining to the budget, including a higher tax rate, which Mr. Moore hays Ii Immediately necessary. "Sir. Moore's informants hare not Informed him a to the actual facts," said the finance committee chairman. Mr. Gaffnc. was friendly in his at titude toward Mr. Moore's position on city finances. Anions the statements by Mr. Moore yesterday was one to the effect that certain appropriations in thn budget now only coer nine months' expenses inMead of a year's, nud that some of the appropriations are not high enough to meet departmental expenses. Explains Shortage, of Funds Mr, Oaffney sought to explain that the shortage of funds in some depart ments, as for instance that of the. di rector of public safety, were caused by the payment of bonuses out of regular funds, as had been done in the case of policemen and firemen. Payment of such bonuses would nnturally cause the shortage this year, Mr. Gaffuey pointed out. Mr. OnfTney also said that as the bonus plan had been decided upon as far back as December, 1018, there could bo no just accusation that such n plan was adopted with n view to crip pling the director of public safety's de partment next year. Tho present Mayor has made the same recommendations In his budget for 1020, and this will be ample If bonuses do not have to be paid out of it, as serted Mr. (Saffncy. Asked if ho favored Increasing tho tax rate, Mr. Oaffney replied : "The tax rate will depend entirely upon the needs of tho city." .Mayor's Itudget Not Binding Speaking of the Mayor's budget Mr. Uaffncy said : "Tho Mayor's budget is virtually a scries of recommendations and the new charter provides that a budget submitted by the Mayor is not binding on Coun cil and may be Increased or diminished." lie declared that nt public meetings of the finance committee on November 10 and 14 he stated that nothing would be done regarding city affairs until Mr. Moore had been consulted, and that his wishes would bo followed. I In said that this assertion still held true. Problem of Miners Is Regular Work Continued Trom rage. One coal over the whole year by jour con trol of freight rates." Some members of the cabinet favor this plan. Hut the railroad udminld tration has, it is said, thus far main tained a successful opposition to it. The railroad administration has main tained all along that shnrtuge of cars has had nothing to do with tills year'H deficit in coal production, 70.000,00(1 tons when the strike began, although tho only government figures awiilnble Indicate that It has been an Important factor It is doubtful whether either oper ators or -workers wish to come to an agreement on uuges until this larger question of regular employment is set tled. Both sides want work distributed over the year us a measure of economy. The miners demanded the thirty -hour week to put pressure upon tho iudustry somewhere, to penullzo irregular cm ploinent, and to make the hiking out of coal ut the so-called "peak" of the demand costly. TIim. pressure has fal len upon the government, and both sides are content to have it rest there, for neither side has much liking or jespect for the way in which the ad ministration has managed its iuterpeu tlon in tho dispute.

A p'etltiou asking the state Su preme Court to overrule the order of district Judge Nuessle which directed the state to return miuing properties to their owners is expected to be filed In the Supremo Court today by counsel for Governor Lynn J. Frnzlcr. This petition charges that Judge Nuessle acted unlawfully. The petition cites thnt Governor Frazler could summarily remove Judge Nuessle for his interference with the military forces.

It is churged in the petition that Judge Nuesslc's "interference, orders and inflammatory remarks tend to in vite bloodshc (land civil war, and create a loss of respect for tho duly authorized military authority of the gotcmor and uis subordinate officers. , FUGITIVE FIGHTS PATROLMAN Man Breaks Away and Flees to Home Is Captured Arrested while acting suspiciously In the neighborhood of his home about 2 o'clock this morning, Michael Cushman, an Austrian, broke away from the pa trolman who arrested him und wns later captured in bed in his home.

EUROPE WAITS ON U.S. ON PACT, SAYS GUEST Paris Enginoer Declares Delay Holds Up Exchange Regu lation of World "All Europe awaits America to nc cept tho pence treaty, and I nm very sorry thnt it was not rntfied bv the Senate the other day," said II.
