COUNCIL REVIEWS TAX ROLL
 PROPERTY VALUES ADVANCED

The Nenana city council, sitting as board of equalization, has been in session during the last two nights and will meet again tonight to com plete the work of reviewing the city tax roll prepared by Assessor C. D. Leekie, and hearing the com plaints of those seeking reductions in the valuation of property owned by them. Some reductions were made by the council in cases where as- sessed valuations appeared abnor- maly high and disproportionate but the disposition of the council was to advance values rather than lower them and this action was taken in number of cases. It is recognized by the lawmakers that values are somewhat high, but it is argued that a general lowering of values would result in raising the tax levy in or der to get the amount of revenue needed to defray the cost of run ming the city and the schools during the coming year.
 At the Tuesday meeting the coun- eil appointed Bert Tunison official school tax collector for the city of Nenana, and the finance commit tee was authorized to secure the services of an accountant to audit the books of the city. The regular monthly bills, city and utilities, also were approved.
 The council will meet again to- night as board of equalization and it is believed the work can be con- cluded at this session.

COAL CONF ERENCE
FAILS TO AGREE
Threat of Strike Carried in Split
on Wage Scale.
By United Press

By United Press
CHICAGO, Jan. 5.-After a two-day
battle miners and operators of the fiji
teen bituminous coal producing States
failed to get together on a new agree
ment and the conference was expected
to break up today.
Failure of the conference to nego-
tate a new contract to take the place
Of the present one, which expires
March 81, carried the threat of an
other coal strike.
The final split came when the min
ers fatty rejected the operators pro
posal that wage scales be made indie
pendently by each of the fifteen dis
tricts. The miners insist on the four
State agreement.
In the event the conference ad-
Journs in disagreement IL IS believed
that a meeting of the central COM
petititve field operators and miners
viii be called to negotiate a four
State agreement. Should Ohio, In

vania negotiate a contract, operators
in other fields would be forced to

VETS PLAN NEW
BATTLE IN
CONGRESS
Senate and House Judiciary
Committee Chairmen Are
Seen As Aids.
By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON,
International News Service.

Fortified by the knowledge that
both the House and Senate ju-
dietary committees, which handle
all liquor legislation, will have
chairmen in the Sixty-eighth Con-
gress who are friendly toward lib
eralization of the Volstead act,
wet leaders are drawing their
plans for a general offensive
against the dry law, it was learned
today. They expect to have a
greater chance of success next
year than at any time since
enactment of the Volstead act,
due to the passing of Congress
man Volstead (Rep.) of Mime
sofa, and the late Senator Mel
son (Rep.) of Minnesota, who as
committee chairmen blocked all
anti-dry moves to modify the pro-
hibition law in previous Con-
presses.
