LONDON PRESS VIEWS
ON WAR DEBT ACTION
Suspension Negotiations Treated
In No Pessimistic Way, But
Hopeful For Success
{ Assnciated Press pispateh. ]

q London, January 18.-The suspen-
sion of Great Britain's debt funding
negotiations with the United States
is commented on only briefly in the
press today. The disposition is to
treat the situation in no wise pes
simistically and it is stated unoffic-
ally that the governments view is
hopeful one.
The Morning Post contends edi-
torially that If the American offer
is regarded in the strict light OF bus
mess it may well be considered a
very friendly proposal. Neverthe-
less Great Britain is bound to take
into account how heavily taxation
now presses British industry and
the great sacrifices the country has
made in order to maintain its credit.
.\The Westminster Gazette said that
the American point Of view would
be better appreciated here il the
United States had not until the pres
emit moment placed almost every CON
ceivable object in our way in max
ing any payment at all" F

CITY AND CHARTER
BODY WILL FIGHT
Bloodless Legal Battle In
State High Court
COSTS BUT LITTLE
Litigation Is Not Going To Hit
the Taxpayers Pocket
book Hard

The battle to decide the issue be-
tween the city council and the city
charter commission will probably
not be settled until after the spring
election in April, at which time
Judge w. /. Comstock in bis deci-
sion recommended that the commits
sion have the amendments in order
so as to allow the council to pre-
sent the matter to the people for a
vote, according to information re-
cciVed today.
With the filling of notice of ap-
peal of the litigation between the
two civic bodies to the supreme
court, by Attorney c. o. Daily, on
Tuesday, and the announcement to-
day that the city government Off
Gals would fight the case in the
higher state court, it appears the
matter will be deadlocked until
Iong after the spring election.
City Must Fight, Says Gilmore
There is nothing else. for the
the charter commission" stated c.
E. Gilmore, city attorney, this morn
ing. THE attorney for the city char
ter commission has sixty days in
which to file his brief in the SUI
preme court appeal. and the city has
thirty days after that in which to
file a counter brief.
With nintey days consumed by the
attorneys in getting their briefs be-
fore the supreme court and an ad-
ditional lapse of time before a deci.
sion is handed down by that body 1t
seems improbable the matter will
De presented to the people for some
time to come. In the event the su-
preme court decides that the amend
ments are correctly prepared for
presentation to vote OF the people,
the question can then be decided by
an election.
In the matter of EXPENSE to be in
Cured by the city, Attorney Gilmore
stated that it would be very small
in taking the matter before the su-
preme court. -&" sg.,.e

There are certain politicians who
grant immunity tor large sums and

said.

CONFAB TO DECIDE
COAL MINERS PAY
1923 Scales Are Being Dis
cussed In New York
EXPEDT TO AGREE
Both Operators and Union Chiefs
Hope To Avert Calling =
Another Strike

49, IASSOciated Press DlEpatcn.I q "a ~
New York, January 18.-Coall oper-
ators and union miner chiefs. pre-
pairing to enter conferences today
which they hoped would provide a
basis for negotiating peacefully wage
scales for 1928, were mutually agreed
that "a nationwide coal strike this
year would be disastrous to the pub
lie"
When the five months strike of
both bituminous and anthracite
miners was called last April /, they
pointed out, there were millions of
tons OF coal in reserve.
Now those reserves have been
exhausted, and even with every mine
operating, people with the means to
buy fuel are shivering because there
isn't any to be had. If, when April
/ rolls around again, there is another
strike, the effect will be immediate
and disastrous" was the way one
union official put it.
Exerting Efforts To Agree.
With this in prospect, both the
miners Representatives and the mine
owners declared today they would
exert every effort to agree speedily
upon a basis for fixing wages and
working conditions in the bitumon-
Gus neldS before April !. The work
ers' delegation from Ohio, went SO
TAR as to declare there will be no
strike this year
Coming here at the invitation of
John L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers after the rec
ent failure of negotiations at Chi
cago, the operators have named as
their spokesman Phil A. Penna, sec
rotary of the Indiana Coal .associa-
ton, who also has been named chair
man of the joint conference.
1t was revealed today by the union
delegates, who are headed by Mr..
Lewis, that, while the expressed 'pur-
pose of the present conference was
to decide whether future wage con-
tracts should be based on the cen
trail competitive field, or sectionally,
or nationally, it was expected to
develop far more significance.

The registration tax might then be

report stated.
A more equitable tax on automo-

also proposed that the tax should be
computed on the same factory list

models of the-same make regardless
of what the factory price may have
been the year when the various mo-

The report states that in general
two complaints have been made in

first that the meaning of many Sec

the tax imposed is not equitable.
