PA M. A 111 I'M NEWS Bl RE A1J WASHINGTON, June 20. A land value tax bill, along the lines of the Nolan bill of the last session of congress which was vigorously opposed by many farmers of the sixth Indiana congressional district, is now being pressed for favorable consideration by its author, Rep. Oscar E. Keller of Minnesota. It is one of three tax revision measures the Minnesota congressman has introduced. The Keller bill provides a one per cent tax on land values after deducting aIi improvements and allowing an exemption of $10,000 on the land. All tenant farmers would be exempt under the provisions of the bill. Following the introduction of the Nolan bill last year a deluge of protests against it were received in Washington from farmers in every county in the sixth district.

Leaders of the miners' federation of Great Britain took no steps yesterday to prevent! the withdrawal of the government's offer of a ten million pounds sterling subsidy to the coal industry, and it would appear that unless the governmentjgnews its offer the money will not be provided by the government for the carrying on of the business. The situation is full of uncertainty, the main r .tstanding fact being the call of the miners' union to all trade organizations affected by the wage dispute to meet at an early date for the purpose of taking national action to secure mutual demands. Most of today's newspapers described the decision to call this meeting as an "S. O. S." prompted by desperation. As yet nothing has occurred to indicate how the call is likely to be received. The annual conference of the labor party will be held at Brighton, tomorrow and Herbert Smith, president of the miners' union, and Frank Hodges, the union's secretary, will attend. Thpv Trill nrnhahltf rlatai-mine t V. - ..... UililC l flL titude of the leaders of other unions, whose aggregate membershiD Is more than three million. Most of these unions are now involved in wage dis - putes and are ready, according to spoKesmen or tne miners, to take a stand with the coal diggers against what, they regard to be a "conspiracy" on the part of employers to reduce wages below the pre-war level and break the unions. Miners Gain Little On the other hand, less interested observers predict the experience of the miners themselves who, up to today, the 81st day of their strike, have gained nothing and lost much, will deter other unions from making common cause with them. Reports of the sentiment prevailing in the ranks of the miners are contradictory. Some represent the mean as weakening, while others state they are holding fast. It seems certain that South Wales, at any rate, will have nothing to do with a movement making for surrender or compromise. "The fight is now taking on an entirely different character," said A. J. Cook, a prominent South Wales leader and a member of the miners' federation executive committee, yesterday. "The whole body of the British miners is going into the struggle for socialization, or rationalization, of the 1 mines. It is going to be a fight di rectly against the government.'

BUILDER WILL DEAL DIRECT WITH UNIONS UNDER NEW PROPOSAL Elimination of the general contractor and the establishment of a cooperative plan between prospective builders and the Building Trades' council is the idea to be presented to a meeting of the Trades' Council Monday night, according to Ernest Gable, business manager for the unions now out on strike against the proposed lowering of the scale of wages in Richmond. The detailed plan probably will be gone over by the carpenters, plasterers and plumbers at. their meeting Monday night. After this, Mr. Gable states, a wait of two or three days will be made in order to give the Master Builder's association time to consider the proposition. In the event the Master Builders fail to put their men back at work the trades council will open offices with intention of contracting for building business, it is said. Details of Plan. The unions will furnish a foreman and the necessary men to do the work, the money for material being put up by the prespective builder, according to their plan. The men will work for the regular scale of wages with a small percentage added for the mainten ance of central offices, they state. Mr. Gable stated that this plan would undoubtedly lower the cost of building in Richmond. Henry J. Dietrich, head of the Master Builder's association, said that the plan outlined by the unions would be a good thing for them to try, when he was informed of the general idea of the plan. Approves Plan. "That is a good thing for them to do," Mr. Dietrich said. "They will find out the numerous things that the l - ..... contractors have to contend with when they get their plan started.

The one effort at mediation which was made last Thursday resulted in failure to reach an agreement. Since that time both sides have been waiting for the other to make the first move towards a settlement. TRIAL BF INDICTED BALL PLAYERS SET FOR NEXT MONDAY CHICAGO. June 20. Chief Justice Charles A.
