Washington, March 10.-Secretary
of Labor Davis yesterday broke the
silence he has maintained during the
ten days in WHOA the government
has actively sought Intervention in
the impending Goa strike, to urge
mine operators and the miners un.

TO get together and save the country
from the costly results o. a strike" /"
The government has no desire to In.
terfere unduly," he announced, but
has a duty to safeguard the interests
OF the people, who will be seriously
affected by the suspension OF coal
mining"
Although no immediate responses
were received at the secretary's Of.
fee after the statement was issued,
press dispatches Immediately reflect.
ed the interest taken in II by the rep.
resentatiyes of unions and operators
in the countrys widespread coal
fields. Official reports to the depart

ly with details concerning the dissen-
sion in the miners organization
where Frank harrington, the Illinois
leader and other district heads, are
said TO be beginning local negotiation
in defiance OF the policy Of Pres dent
John L. Lewis and the international
executive board OF the United Mine
Workers.
Reports also were received on the
attitude Of individual mine operators
who have in the past entered into ma.
tional wage agreements.
The departments agents have been
assured that the miners locals in
nearly all sections throughout union
fields are Overwhelmingly voting
to strike April 1, but this informa
tion has been discounted to degree
officials said, because strike vote

could be purchased cheaper in Dav-
export than in Rock Island. He
had tried that out, he affirmed, by
causing two similar articles, of

one in Davenport, the other in
Rock Island. The result he said,
was, that the Davenport article,
while little bit cheaper, was so
much inferior to the article pur-

Rock Island article was in reality
much the cheaper of the two

He commented upon the united
effort being made to raise $4,000

Fund as a good piece of team work,

good thing for the community.
He compared the types of people

City Officials and Corporation
Officer Confer; Further Pay
ments Up to Owners.

Claims in lieu of taxes against
former United States Housing Cor
noration property in Rock Island,
Moline and East Moline will be set
fled by a representative of the cor
poration here next Friday.
On that day a meeting of the
three mayors, city clerks and city
attorneys. will be held in the city
hall of Rock Island, with the cor
poration representative present,
and data of assessments against the
corporation's property will be pre-
sented him. 1t is believed that all
claims up to date will be settled
then.
Injunction restraining Rock Is
land county officials from collecting
assessments against the housing
corporation property in the three
municipalities may be modified o.
annulled following this meeting is
an intimation which came from au-
thoritative sources this week.
This injunction has been in eff
feet three years, ever since the
county first attempted to collect
taxes on property then being sold
BY the government housing corpora
ton under partial payment plan
The government officials at that
on the housing corporations COM
munity project would be paid from
the United States treasury.
Repeated efforts on the part of
the administra tions of Rock Island,
Moline and East Moline since then
to secure this money, was success
full a few months ago when con-
gress authorized appropriation for
the payment of tax claims against
the housing corporation. OF this
fund, Rock Island is scheduled to
receive approximately $4,000.
To Adjust Claims.
The action expected to be taken
at the cities meeting with the cor
poration next Friday is the adjust
ment of tax claims up through 1922,
since the injunction went into eff
feet three years ago.
1t is expected that then the
hous ing corporation may go into
court to have the injunction dis
solved, or at least modified.
This will invest owners of the
former government property, or
persons who now hold such prop
erty on contract to purchase, with
the duty of paying future install
ments over the 10-year assessment
period. The exact nature of the
action the corporation will take in
court is not known, but the unof-
fetal information current is that
either a modification or dissolu-
ton of the present injunction will
be sought.

newspapers are carrying on a cam
paign for his death.
None See Him.
It is futile to try to see Jeannes.
The prison authorities have reach
ed the point where they do not
even admit his existencei Thus
they save both the king and execu-
toner from bearing the brunt of
public sentiment.
This man of SO originally sold
his country for 25 francs a month.
The Germans later increased his
pay until he was getting $50 francs
a month.
Jeannes disappeared when the
German war machine collapsed,
but fate played him a trick. When
the fleeing Germans destroyed their
documents, one heap in a barn near
the Belgian frontier in northern
France was overlooked.
In this mass of papers were
found 200 reports made by Jeannes,
together with his German police
card. and letters from him to his
German chief. Kirschenheim. in

faithful service"
Jeannes claimed he had caused
the deaths of 126 BeIgians. French
men and British, including Miss
Cavell
His trial was a sensation. At
first he was contemptuous and de-
fiant. but the evidence against him
was so strong that his bravado soon
vanished, even though no direct ev-
idence was brought that he per-
sonally reported Miss Cavell to the
German police.
