Bureau Os Customs In A Protest Washington, Feb. 9. —(AP)— The customs bureau notified the Senate today that passage of the Treasury bill as it stands with its drastic eco nomies would necessitate discharge of 1,500 men June 30, would open the Canadian and Mexican borders to wholesale liquor smuggling, and per haps close all of the 40-odd inland customs offices except the one in Chicago. In passing the treasury bill the Sen ate reduced the customs funds for the next fiscal year from $19,900,000 to $17,500,000, and directed that depart ment, as well as all others, to spend five percent less than the total ap propriated for each.

One of the principal reasons for the the slowing up of th e reorganization movement has been that members of 'the General Alssemibly havd discov ered that miatny of the steps imended refill ly involved very iiitltle if any, and that moist of the $2,000,000 saving attributed to them would be derived from the 15 per cent reduc tion in teachers’ salaries, already re commended by the Budget Commis sion.
