ways for State TO Be Pushed

ATLANTA, July 3. Twelve
trunk line highways, totaling $500
miles and extending through 1870
counties of Georgia, to be built at
q cost of $84,O00,000, of which all
but $21 100000 will be borne by
the state and federal governments,
are provided in a constitutional
amendment which will be introduced
in both branches of the general as
sembly early next week.
According to the. bill the state
will be zoned for the purpose of is
suing bonds to raise the respective
counties share of the necessary
funds, with no respect for county
lines being paid in the coming of
the state. This plan is in line with
the manner in which the Atlanta

over, the six coastal counties hav-
ing been made into an subdivision
of the state for the purpose of is
suing highway bonds.
To familiarize members of the leg
islature with the details of the road

ATLANTA, July -(SpeciaD-
The expected break between Chief
Engineer Warren Neel and Chair
man John Holder is now eminent
and may be precipitated at the NEXT
meeting of the Highway Board.
1t is being rumored in political
circles that the split can not be post
poned much longer. Mr.. Holders
friends say that Mr.. Neel is not in
harmony with his chief and for
that reason he can not be longer
maintained. Mr.. Neels friends for
some time have said that John
Holder is after Neers scalp"
One of the best posted men. on
highway matters, a man who has
not taken sides in any of the high
ways rows, expressed the opinion
that it would never be possible for
the two men to work in harmony,
Mr.. Neel is an engineer, and as
such he sees every problem from
the standpoint of the engineer and
handles it according" he says "Mr.
Holder is a politician and as such
ne and Neel are bound to clash. A
break is inevitable, l believe"
Rumors yesterday and today
seem to confirm these opinions and
the matter is likely to come to a
head at the next meeting of the
board.

COAL WAR Seen
Terms of Miners Known to Be

announced negotiations would be
open at Atlantic City on July 8.
A ten per cent wage increase for
tonnage men, with an additional 81

contract and complete union rec

as saying "check off," featured the
demands, which were drawn up by
the scale committee of Fl and adopt
ed, without changes, by the tri-dis-
trict convention as a whole. Each
and all of this trio of stipulations
are understood on good authority
to be wholly unacceptable to the an
thracite operators. Should the two
sides fail to become reconciled by
September 1, a suspension in the
hard coal fields probably would fol-

tradition refuses to "work without

Perhaps Andrew Mattey, veteran
president of district seven, had this
in mind which, shortly before adj
justment, sine die, he sauntered to
the edge of the seaker's platform,
hands in pockets, and opened his re-
marks with: "a suspension will take
place"
He added that in his belief walk
out would be forced by the opera
tors as means of better marketing
coal now in storage.
"The public will blame the min

tors will get the money"
Operators here smiled at this
statement asserting it is merely the

CAILLAUX TO
VISIT AMERICA
IN SEPTEMBER
Plan to Send Debt Commission
Approved Today By Coun-
Gil Of Ministers

PARIS, July 3.-The French
Council of Ministers today APPROX
ed the plan to send the French debt
commission to the United States
some time this summer.
1t is predicted that Joseph Gail
lauX, minister of Finance, will ac-
company the commission. Armed
with vote of confidence on his
budget, Caillaux is expected to ar
rive in America sometime in Sep
TENDER to superintend the final ar
rangements for the payment of the
French war debt.
The chamber of deputies voted
confidence in CaillauX's budget, $40
to. 204, at a session Thursday night.
1t is this budget that is expected to
regularize French internA finances
sufficiently to permit Caillaux to
leave Paris for Washington. The
minister has assured the deputies
that it would balance expenditures
and taxes in 1925.
Caillaux plans to arrive in Wash
ington during the last week of Sep
TENDER after a debt commission,
which will have preceded him, has
discussed preliminary phases of the
debt problem, and obtained from
the United States assurances that
the French capacity will be consid-
cred in determining the amount and
terms of repayment, This prelimi-
nary commission probably will leave
Paris by September.

President Coolidge Pledges
Moral Support to Security
PactS to Preserve Peace

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, July a.
Security pacts to preserve the peace
of Europe were given a pledge of
moral supprot today by President
Coolidge, who coupled his promise
with a warning that on no other
terms could America be expected to
contribute further to the financial
revival Of the Old World.
''If the people of the Old Word
are mutually distrustful Of each
other" he said in an address de-
livered here, ''let them enter into
mutual covenants for their mutual
security.
"While our own country should
refrain from making political COM
mitments where it does not have
political interests, such covenants
would always have the moral sup
port of our government, and could
not fail to have the commentator
of the public opinion of the world.
"On what other basis can there be
any encouragement for a DISPOSE
ton to attempt to finance re-
vival of Europe?"
The President was speaking at a
celebration marking the 150th an
niversary of the day George Wash
ington took command of the Con
tinental Army, and nearly the whole
address had been devoted to a re-
view of the publ cservices Of the
Father of His Country. His refer
