into a coordinate ministry.
 The post of foreign minister, which Dr.
 Wrth himself assumed temporarily, is still seeking a likely candidate.
 Gossip in the lobbies today was wholly devoted to speculation as to whether the
 cabinet which commands only a parlia-
 ment minority. would be able to carry out
 a constructive program. in view of its
 pTecarious backing. The strongest doubts
 ill this direction are expressed among the democrats, who freely predict that the
 Nir,h ministry will soon undergo recon
 struction, now that it's primary function
 as a signing cabinet" has been disposed of
 The liberals insist upon the inclusion of tEc German peoples party ill any present government, if only for the reason Of null lifying opposition from the right side of the house. As the majority socialists are fundamentally opposed to allying them- seNos with the Streseman party, it is a feregone conclusion that any attempt to extend the present cabinets party struc- | ture would promptly precipitate another | crisis.
 The new cabinet is only able to rely upon 216 out of 469 votes. assuming that the democrats vote solidly with the min. 1 a provisional manner only. Although the liberal press genc.a ally is sympathetic in its reception, of the new cabmet, it is not over enthusiastic ill view ! of the circumstances which brought It into | existence and the fact that it is inse.

A. F. OF L. TO OPPOSE REPEAL
 OF THE LUXURY TAX

Cincinnati, May 1.-The American Federation of Labor will oppose any at tempt to repeal the present system uf excise or luxury tax anG substitute il sales tax.
 This policy was decided upon by the executive council of the federation in ses- sion here today. While no official an- nouncement was made, the council. it is understood, regards any effort to substi- ute sales tax for the excise tax as an attemptto shift the burden of taxation from capital to labor
 Labor officials explained that organized labor believes that the present system of taxation is more equitable than the pro- posed calling for repeal of the excise taxes and substitution of a sales tax. They claim that the sales tax would not only place the burden of taxation upon the workers but would add materially to the cost of living.
 With the excise or luxury tax repealed. labor officials said. the manufacturer. merchant and other big interests of the country would be given a renewed oppor- tunity to profiteer
 The stand of the executive council will be incorporated in the councils report to the annual convention of the federation to be held in Denver in June. The council today also decided to carry on the fight to obtain the repeal of the Kansas court of industrial relations law The council has condemned the statute as an act establishing involuntary servitude for the workers of Kansas" and a pro. 1 lection for the interests of the owners ot public utilities and all industries at tEe expense of the employees"
 The council also will urge that the fed eration take steps to have anti-strike ant anti-labor legislation repealed and renew its drive to prevent the passage of furthe- anti-labor legislation in the various | states.
 A delegation from the Internationa Brotherhood Welfare association, headed by James Eads How of St Louis, appear ed before the council today and asked tha it take steps to urge upon congress tn necessity of taking care of the unemploy ed. He said he was especially intereste, in the welfare of the hoboes MT. Hoy estimated that there were between 4,OOO 900 and 5.000,000 unemployed in tn

 Wherever there is proved wrong and injustice, the church of course may. and must. speak. But the church is not com missioned nor endowed with special wis dom' to pronounce upon specific political and economic programmes"
 Among his recommendatio for en- larged activities in the diocese was one that two suffragan bishops be elected to assist in church work in rural districts in colleges. and universities, among ne- groes and "among our citizens of foreign birth He also recommended the rais- ing of an endowment fund for the up- keep of Synod Hall. which was added to the cathedral group of buildings by the late !.

A FAREWELL LUNCHEON
 TO ARCHBISHOP MANNIX

London, May 11-4Archbishop Mannix of Australia. who Swill leave for home in few days, today was rendered a farewell luncheon at which he received eulogistic address from the bishops and priests of Ireland and also valuable gifts.
 The archbishop in replying to the ad- dress said he never would be prouder of being an Irishman than on the day he was returning to tell the Australians that nothing stood in the way of peace be- tween Great Britain and Ireland, but British crime and British aggression. The Irish people should be granted the right to rule themselves, the archbishop declared. If Ireland wanted a republic that was her business. and until that right was acknowledged there would be no peace between England and Ireland
 The Irish people, Archbishop Mannix said, stood heart and soul behind Eamonn De Valera. He was the only man cap- able of talking for the whole of the Irish people, and the British government should negotiate with him if it really wanted peace
