GOVERNMENT YIELDS
(By The Associated Press)
London, Eng., July 31.-The gan-
eral strike of British coal miners
which, had been scheduled to start at
12 o'clock tonight has been called off.
What bade fair to be one of the
worst industrial stoppages in modern
times was averted when Premier
Stanley Baldwin today promised: "sub-
vention," to the mines, thereby en-
abling the owner sto continue their
existing wage agreements for another
nine months.
Although the government previous-
ly had maintained to the workers that
it was not prepared to subsidize the
mining industrry,'Mr. Baldwin finally
yielded to the threat of an industrial
nightmare situation involving a gen-
eral stoppage in the coal industry,
possibly a general cessation of rail-
road operations and consequently the
shutting dowh of other industries for
lack of coal.

to sleep calm away.
No,-special guard keeps watch be-
side his grave. Only the quiet beat
ftrpers on their regular, patrol
of the great field of the fallen re-

plot.
He is in the keeping of the God
and of the nation to whose service
his life was given.
The last journey of the commoner
from Tennessee where he fell aslee'p,
ended under an army tent spread to
shelter his grave from the driving
rain that had fallen since morning,
to cease only a moment before the
funeral party arrived at the ceme-
tery. Within 4, there. was room
" only for the casket wrapped about
with the glowing colors of the flag
the dead man had served in peace and
war, and a handful of the many
friends of his three decades of stir-
ring life.
Those ministers otf the gospel who
said above him the rites for the dead
and who a little time before had given
him the last benediction of the church,
alone saw the casket sink slowly down
into the earth as the soft calling of
an army bugle lulled the sleeper to
his long repose with the tender notes
of "taps," the soldier requiem.

OVER SEVEN MILLION
(By The Associated Press)
Lansing, July 31.-The state tax
commission will set a tentative valua-
tion on the real property in Michigan
next Monday. Indications today were
It will exceed the seven billion dol-
lar mark. The present equalized val-
uation is $7,007,917,000.
The tentative values set by the
commission will be subject to review
by the state board of equalization.
An equalized value, which may lie
lower than the figure recommended
by the commission, will be fixed the
latter part of August. In 1924 the
board of equalization accepted the tax
commission's recommendation without
a protest..*
The counties will have an oppor-
tunity to protest the valuations rec-
ommended by the tax commission
when the board of equalization meets
Aug. 17.
As is the case every year, it is ex-
pected many will send representatives
to protest the valuations.
The tentative figures Monday and
the equalized valuation to be fixed
later by the board of equalization will
include not only a total for the state,
but the apportionment among the
counties. The proportion of valua-
tion borne by any county will deter-
mine the proportion of the estate tax
that county must stand.
In 1924 the board of equalization,
in accepting the tax commission's
figures, gave Wayne county a boost
of about half a billion dollars in val-
uation and an increase of about five
per cent in the amount of state tax
it was required to pay. On the other
hand, most agricultural and out-
state counties, except those largely
iidustrial, were given decreases. The
situation led to a strenuous protest
from Detroit.
