MOVE is LAUNCHED
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, July 31.-A call
to the combined Christian churches of
America to join in a movement to
erect a monument over the grave of
William Jennings Bryan in Arlington
National Cemetery was sounded here
at a Bryan memorial service conduct
ed by DR.. Len G.. Broughton, pastor
of the First Baptist Church of Jack
sonville, Fla.
William Jennings Bryan, defender
of the faith-he died welding the
sword Of the spirit against a relentless
and scoffing foe" This was the in
scription DR. Broughton proposed.
The minister suggested that Jo-
sephus Daniels of Raleigh, n. c..
fellow cabinet member with Bryan in
the Wilson portfolio, be requested to
act as custodian of funds and that a
national campaign be launched at
once participated in by every denom-
ination protesting belief in the Chris
tian religion.
DR.. Broughton said Mr.. Daniels
should be asked to take steps TO or
ganiZe the campaign. Il look forward
to the greatest revival of religion that
America has ever seen" the minister
said. "Humanely speaking, 1t will
come out of this Dayton row. Mr..
Bryan's fool religion as termed by
Mr.. Darrow, in the courthouse at Day
ton, will become the dynamic of the
greatest revival of religion that we
have ever seen"

Mr.. Baldwin requested that the

brought on the strike threat, so that
there could he discussion as to the
means of affording them assistance.

There is an unofficial report of a
government loan to those collieries
which are unable to make sufficient
reveue TO pay the present scale of
wages, the government taking what
profits the mines will make in re-
payment until the loan is repaid.

posed mainly on the ground that if
the mines are to be subsidized other
needy industries should not be re-

GALES TO SECURE
LAND TO PEASANTS
Reported as Planning Law to Ter
inmate Property Seizures by
Agrarian Committees.
Rv the Associated Press.


MEXICO CITY, July 31.-Liberation
of the agricultural population of Mex
leo by an important law dealing with
inherited estates is planned by Presi-
dent Gales, says Deputy EzequieI
Padilla in an article in the news
paper Excelsior
Gales is quoted as having said he
would send several bills 10 congress
dealing with social conditions. because
many of the existing conflicts in the
country are due to the lack of proper
legislation. The most important meas
ure is one referring to the patrimony
of each family, and it is intended TO
bring about the liberation of the peas
ant class. which the president says
virtually remains in servitude.
The article quotes President Gales
as follows:
The peasant owns land which is
taken from him at will by the agrarian
committees, because the division of
lands practically is used as a political
weapon. 1t is necessary to give the
peasant definite ownership. but within
required limitation in order to avoid
land monopoly.
This feeling of confidence must be
made extensive through the country.
and landowners must be made to feel
certain that their remaining lands will
not be taken, so that they can prop
erly cultivate them.
I'm my trips l Witnessed: The
ruinous condition of the country, see
ing burned houses, wrecked ma
chinery and uncultivated fields. With
out a constructive policy the reyolu-
tion becomes d failure
Il have often declared that the
agrarlan problem must be settled
gradually, with reinsurance to the
owners of indisputable ownership.
Cooperative associations must be es-
tabEshed and agricultural credits
made available for the small farmer.

CITY GROWTH HALTS.

Builders Tell BeII'Budget Cuts
Would Handicap Entire
District.

Following an interview with Engi-
neer Commissioner Bell today. Rufus
s Lusk secretary of the Operative
Builders Association. representing
the ma jority of builders in the Dis
triCt. announced that the members of
his association would ask permission
TO appear before the director of the
Bureau of the Budget and the Senate
and House District committees to i'm.
press upon those bodies the necessity
of adequate appropriations for sewer
age, water and streets in the National
Capital.
The association will urge that the
recommendations of the Commission
ers for 1927 in regard to streets, water
and sewerage be allowed to remain IN
tact and that no effort be made to re
duce them It is pointed out by the
association that unless adequate ap-
l1ropriations are allowed for these
items the present building boom in
Washington will be forced into de
cline and in some sections of the city
will be stopped altogether.
Peak Not Yet Reached.
IN discussing the situation with Col.
Bell. Mr.. Lusk pointed out the present
indications showed that building in
the National Capital for the next two
years would be as great or even great
er than the high peak period of the
past two years, and that if Congress
handicapped the District by cutting
down appropriations for streets, sew
erage and water these plans can not
be carried out.
Mr.. Lusk told Col Bell building was
getting further out and that these
three items in question we're absolute
iy necessary to continue the growth
and enlargement of Washington. Some
of the firms engaged in construction,
MIR. Lusk told Col. Bell. were spending
as high as 100000, in putting their
own sewerage in which should be paid
out of taxes collected from the Dis
trict, this is added to the price OF
the house and drives up the cost of
property. Mr.. LuSk said in pointing
out that if sufficient appropriations
were made the cost Of these houses
would be materially lessened and that
the builders would not he able to con
tinue putting in their own sewerage
very much longer.
Mr.. LuSk said that Col. Bell de
clared that he welcomed the cooper
alton of the association. and agreed
that in order to properly develop Wash
ington and not interfere with its
present rapid growth, added money
should be provided for these three
items. The association will endeavor
TO appear before the Bureau of the
Budget about the middle of Septem-
ber.

SITUATION is GRAVE.
bly, Worst in Europe
By EDGAR ANSEL MOWRER

BY Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily News
BERLIN. July 31.-The European
coal situation is becoming critical.
Germany's condition, despite the un-
settled status in England, is perhaps
the worst. Here many pits are closed
down and the owners of other mines
are threatening wage reductions. A
great number of workers have been
discharged.
Leaders of the German miners met
in Berlin Thursday and decided to sup
port the English miners to the limit.
They also decided TO protest TO the
German government against the tax
and tariff policy, and to refuse to do
overtime work in the mines.
The crisis in the great Ruhr coal
district, which the writer noted last
January. has become acute and a
source of great misery. Small centers
in many cases are almost deserted.
The village of W1tten has lost 80 per
cent of it's poplation. Schwelm, 80 per
cent and Hattingen, 80 per cent.

Immediately, all of Wilson's fellow
miners in that pit quit work. There
upon the conference of miners dele
gates ordered a sympathetic strike of
all save safety men in that colliery
The strike spread like wildfire through
the district, eventually including 40
600 men.
Some gauge of the bitter recalcit-
rance of the coal miners may be seen
in this episode, since the strike has
grown worse, with the miners near
starvation and with no other issue at
stake in this particular field except

Matter of Life or Death

SWANSEA, Wales. July 81. .-
The sun never sets on the British
empire, so they say Nor does II
ever rise in the coal mines of South
Wales. Here in the black valley of
the River Aman, stretching between
Swansea and the desolate hills of
Mld-Wales, the coal crisis is more
than question of words across a
table. II Is matter of life or grim
death.
The anthracite miners here did not
wait for negotiations at London to be
settled one way or the other. They
have taken the matter blunty into
their own hands and walked out leav-
ing the barren pits behind them flood
ed. Although practically no mention
has been made of ii in the London
press. an incredible state of affairs ex-
lists in all South Wales. Despite the
London settlement. 10000 miners are
out on strike, paralyzing the whole
anthracite industry of England
BlOodshed Is Feared
The first riots occurred Wednesday
night when police charged into crowds
of mine workers and SympathiZerS
The mood of the miners is so ugly
that bloodshed is almost certain, ac-
cording to the local authorities.
1nlS anthracite strike alone is I'M
portant enough, as it cripples the ac-
tivities of the second largest anthra-
cite field in the world. But it is but
drop in the bucket to. the conditions
that would have prevailed had the
bituminous field workers here and the
steam coal workers at Cardiff gone
out.
The anthracite strike started in the
little town of Ammansford, 80 miles
from Swansea.
The strike is exclusively a senti-
mental one, and is perhaps unique in
that it has nothing TO do with either
wages or hours. 1t resulted solely
from the personal resentment of Suyly
miners, defending rights which they
feel have been violated. A miner
named William Wilson. a little fell
low with a red nose, now is the hero
of the whole district Wilson was
transferred from one pit at Ammans-
ford to another three weeks ago. He
protested and refused to move. The
foreman invoked the seniority act and
