COOLIDGE BEHIND FUEL DRIVE; BELIEVES STRIKE WILL BE MET ESTATE AND MOTOR TAXATION 0PPOSED Fossibility of Fights Seen When Bill as Completed Reaches House. Assoclated Press. ests on the estate and automo- bile tax rates appear likely when the propesed tax reduction bill reaches the floor of the House. Although modifications of both taxes have been agreed to by the House ways and means committee in preparing the bill on a non-partisan basis, and an almost unanimous re- port by the committee s expected, some House members have expressed sing views on these rates. tepresentative Watson of Pennsyl- vania. a Republican member of the committee, vesterday announced he would seek repeal of the estate levy. On the other hand. some House mem- bers, including Represntative Ram- sever, Republican, of Iowa, are con- sidering fighting the reduction in es- tate rates proposed by the committee. Passenger Car Levy. Similarly, some members in both parties are quletly laying plans to conduct a fight on the floor for repeal of the 5 per cent levy on automobile passenger cars. The committee voted to cut this tax to 3 per cent, which, it estimated, would mean a loss in reve- nue of $37,500,000 annually. Repeal of the tax would mean a loss of $30,- 000,000 annually. In the face of this opposition, how- ever, Representative Tilson of Con- necticut, Republican floor leader, hoped to get an agreement with Demo- cratic leaders for united support for the measure in the form in which it is reported by the committee. Brewery Inspection. The subcommittee on administra- tive provisions has before it a pro- posal from Assistant Secretary An- drews of the Treasury, in charge of prohibition, to restore the occupa- tional tax of $100 annually on brew- eries. He hopes by this to give pro- hibition officials power of inspection of breweries, which, he says, is necessary to check the “flood of high- powered beer.” The full committee turned down a suggestion of Mr. Andrews that a tax of 1 cent a gallon be levied on cereal beverages to obtain the same power of inspection. The subcommittees. working out it of general provisions already agreed to, expect to wind up their work tomorrow and to present it at the meeting of the whole committee Tuesd: Final action on all pro- visions to be incorporated in the new measure is expected to be taken this week. HAT BUSINESS GOOD. 0ld Fez Shops in Turkey Rapidly Disappearing. By_Cable to The Star and New York World. LONDON, November 14—Although the Constantinople agent of the Fed- eration of British Industries reports a general business depression in Turkey, he says that speclal activity is to be noticed in the hat and cap line.

Final preparations for the campaign were completed yesterday afternoon at a conference between officlals of the Coal Merchants’ Board of Trade and representatives of The Star.
