strike has been prepared by the De-
partment Of Justice.
The Government win apply to the
coal strike the principle that the min-

and of interstate commerce.
Guided by this principle, Attorney
General Daugherty has all his plans
made for sweeping court action to
protect coal producers who obey the
Presidents injunction to reopen their
mines.
Daugherty has obtained the in
dorsement OF Senator Cummins and

Within forty-eight hours the Presi-
dent will move to bring the railroad
strike to an end. it is said.
The executive today sought a solu-
ton OF the Nationwide tie-up in a
conference with Ben W. Hooper. chair
man Of the railroad labor board.
1t is believed he will bring rail
executives and union leaders together.
The greatest obstacle in the path OF
an early settlement of the railway
strike is the question Of restoring
strikers seniority rights. Chairman
Hooper told President Harding.
Makes Complete Report
Hooper gave the President a COM
plete resume of efforts Of the labor
board to terminate the strike and the
causes underlying the walk-out.
Hooper said that Western and
Southern roads in general are ready
to restore seniority privileges to the
workers. but that Eastern roads feel
that they are unable to do so because
they have advertised that men taking &
the places Of the strikers would re-
ceive the same rights as the former
employees. and they fear they might
be subject to legal action for vIolat-
ing these contracts.
Hooper is known to be somewhat
pessimistic about an early settlement
of the rail strike.

SHANK LOSES HOPE
City Tax Levy for 1928 Will Not Be
Reduced, He Says

Mayor Shank gave up hope today of
reducing the city tax levy for 1923
when City Controller Joseph L. Hogue
was informally notified by County Au-
ditor Leo K. Fesler the city valua-
ton will be $4,000, 900 less.
This means the s2.42 total tax rate
for 1922 would raise s46O.0O0 less in
1923.
The mayor said he would slash
every budget item he possibly can to
prevent any more money being raised
for 1923, but said considerable higher
rate will be necessary to raise an
amount equal to 1922.
The present valuation is s572 2,s1S.-
