NAVY MAY REFUSE
|. BUDGET REDUCTION
Coolidge Likely to Be Asked
to Settle Differences
With Bureau.

The disagreement between the Navy
Department and the budget bureau
as to the amount Congress should be
asked to appropriate for the naval
establishment during the next fiscal
year probably will have to be settled
by President Coolidge.
1t was indicated today by Navy off,
Gals that there was no disposition TO
follow the budget directors sugges-
ton for cut of $7o,ooo,0o0 in the
estimate recently made UP by the
department on the basis of its ex-
pected needs. Such a cut. II was said
would make il impossible for the
United States to maintain the Navy
prescribed for it under the Arms
treaty. Some minor reductions in the
total were said to be possible. but
the impression was given that the
estimate would be resubmitted to the
budget bureau without substantial
change.

Arrangements for resumption of
diplomatic relations between the
Anne rican and Mexican governments
have reached a stage where an Off
cial announcement on the subject
may be issued shortly. Meantime.
the State Department has given in
formation regarding it's position to
the governments of Great Britain,
France, Cuba and Belgium, and ac-
tion may also be taken by them in
the near future.
The information transmitted is un-
derstood to have dealt fully with the
meeting recently concluded by John
Barton Payne and Charles B. Warren.
the American commi ssioners who rep
resented the United States { the
Mexico City conferences.
Mr.. Warren was in conference with
Secretary Hughes and other State De-
partment officials for several hours to-
day, and also went to the White House
with the Secretary for a talk with
President Coolidge afterward Mr..
Warren said he was ready to return
to return to his personal affairs in De-
troit and would leave Washington to-
morrow.
There was no reason to expect, Mr..
Warren said. that he would be APP
pointed ambassador to Mexico. 1t
was recalled that when he RESPONDED
TO President Harding'S request and
agreed to serve as one OF the Ameri-
can commissioners, he made II clear
that he should be left free. when tn
report was made to return to his
affairs in Detroit.

TREASURY is FIRM
AGAINST VET BONUS
Maintains Attitude That Measure
Would Be Too Severe Strain
on Public Treasury.

Secretary Mellon will continue his
opposition to soldiers bonus, ii was
learned today at the Treasury.
Since his first declaration shortly
after such d measure was proposed
the Secretary has consistently rnain-
tanned the position that an adjusted
compensation to the soldiers of the
late war would not be feasible, and
that the burdens upon the public
Treasury already were too great to
add that additional burden.
Predictions have been forthcoming
from several sources recently that the
soldier bonus would not only be pro-
posed In the new Congress, but would
be enacted. Among the members Of
Congress most confident of the pas
sage of the bonus is Senator Smont,
republican, of Utah, ranking mem

tempt to array public opinion against

The miners are watching the prep
arations being made here and in
Washington for the meeting of the
this city next week to act upon the
anthracite crisis.
Unquestionabiy II matters in the an
thracite fields come to showdown
on September /. John Lewis will be
of the great labor leaders of the
country. He has promised the hard
coal operators the trouncing of their
ea~eers."
If, with the assistance OF the gov
eminent, the soft-coal operators are
able to supply substitutes IN such
quantity as to threaten the success
of the anthracite miners strike, the
natural impulse of the miners will
be to try to check the output of the
substitutes.
Lewis Facing Big Test.
John Lewis cannot afford to lose
the anthracite strike. He cannot af-
work under unfavorable agreements.
He must fight to a finish. In finish

fable by the labor unions.

Resort 40 Advertising.
There are many other indications
of the approaching crisis. The an
thracite operators are beginning to
advertise extensively to present their
side Of the case more emphaticaily to
the public. Furthermore. the claim
is made that the bituminous operators
are entirely too gleeful over the pros
pect of a long drawn anthracite
struggle. thinking that they will reap
the benefit of any losses sustained by
the anthracite workers.
The national coal situation is full Of
peril The solution to il is still tar
away.
