I HI FUM HEPORIfO

1Y SPECIAL COMMITTEE TO CENTRAL LABOR UNION.

FOOD POOR AND INSUFFICIENT

So the Committee Reported Verbally Through M. T. Butler—Trade Dieagreements in the Union.

The special committee appointed Some weeks a#o bf the Central Labor Union to inveeticste conditions at the Marion county poor farm, due to the fact that the manaaement had taken tobacco away from the inmates, made a verbal report last nisht. M. T. Butler, chairman of the committee, made the report. He aaid that, in company with Elwood Sands, another member of the committee, he had visited the poor farm, and that conditions there were in a deplorable condition. The food Siven the Inmate* was, he said, unpalatable and insufficient In quantity. He said that several inmates complained that thlnss were not as they should be. but that nothing 1 ever came of protect*. It was also said that the medical attention was not what It should be, and that some who were unable to help themselves were neglected, ^ Smoking Grape Leaves. On the tobacco question Butler said that the inmates were In the habit of drying grape leaves and smoking them in lieu of something better. He said that on the day he visited the poorhouse he saw a man standing at the gate, who informed him that be was waiting to beg a piece of tobacco. This he was told was a usual method of obtaining tobacco, Butler said that he was told that when the charity board or the newspaper reporters visited the place they seldom got beyond the superintendent's office. if this was the case, he thought It might explain some thihgs. Elwood Sands, the other member of the committee, said that he had visited the county commissioners, but had got little satisfaction. He was told that tobacco had not been taken from the Inmate* for economy, but because H was considered unsafe to have smoking about the buildings. The committee ma<Je no recommendations, and on motion of John F. White It was ordered to bring In a written report with recommendations at the next meet-

ing.

Printers and Pressmen’s Bout. The long-expected bout between the

printers and the pressmen came up at last nlght'a meeting on the Introduction of the resolutions from the Press Feeders and Aaalatntita' Union, asking that no printing firm be considered fair unless there was a union premroom In connection therewith. A motion was Immediately made by one of the delegates from the Typographical Union to refer the matter to the Allied Printing Trades Council. This was opposed by the pressmen, and the feeders, and In the discussion following the delegates got a pretty fair Idea of the trouble that has existed among the printing trades for years, and of the harmony that now dwells there. At the conclusion of the discussion the matter was referred to

the council by a close vote. Palntera Serve Notice.

Painters' Union, No. 4T. also served notice that In the future It would take care of Jurisdiction questions without the Intervention of the Central Labor Union, and served notice that all pending agreements entered Into with other unions on

disputed oolnte were at an end.

Later In th* evening lhe delegates from the Painters' Union again brought the matter up and read a copy of the agreement entered Into between the International executive boards of the painters and the woodworkers, that covers all pclTita In Isaue. Before the articles of peace could be nied, the delegates from the two unions came near getting Into nmithcr httf-pultlng as to whether or not peace was wanted. President Feb man declared that In the future he would no* again attempt to settle any dliTerm.-es

bet wen the two unions.

The action of th* executive board In asking that local unions levy a 1 per cent, assessment for the striking mine workers was concurred in, and the secretary wit* ordered to prepare a circular for general distribution. A suggestion was made that a fair mlsht be given In Tomlinson Hall to raise funds. No action was taken,

however.

Delegate Btlaaonhrrs, of the Musicians' l nlon, reported that the long-standing difficulty with the Montant brothers was settled, and they were again in good standing In the union. The grievance commutes was ordered to assist the woodworkers In an effort to adjust the trouble that union l as with Lauter &' Co. It was reported that some firms In

the city were not living up to an agreenunt made with the union. President Fclttnan was ordered to confer with the Foundrymen Helpers* Union. In an effort

The valise that was found in the rooming-1 house at >39 East Washington street, where Hall said he had left It, was taken to Greenfield by an Indianapolis News reporter. Hal! identified the valise as his property, and named all the articles found inside without being allowed

to see them.

"You will find a black vest with a new back In it,” he said. 'Thefe Is a toothbrush and a bottle half filled with tooth powder, a pair of red allk sleeveholders with yellow bows attached, one dirty handkerchief and several new ones.” Hall continued until he named every article In the valise.

He Is emphatic in declaring that his Bertillon measurements have never been taken. . Hall said he had been following the races for soma time. He stopped in Indianapolis, he said, and began drinking.

ACTION OF SALOON MEN.

A WARNING IS SOUNDED

Party Organ Charges that Philip Rappaport Writes the Articles— Prohibition News.

The Prohibitionists believe they have discovered a new scheme of the liquor men. They have obtained samples of proof sheets sent to all the newspapers in Indiana offering the use of several pages of plate matter free. This matter purports to be published by the "Society for the Promotion of Modern Thought on Government and Morals.'" The name of Philip Rapp&port, Indianapolis, la given as secretary of the society. The Patriot-Phalanx, Prohibition State organ, in its current issue, pays considerable attention to the matter and warns the newspapers not to accept this free plate service, which It pronounces as "poisonous and dangerous." It says the articles are written to show that moderate drinking is helpful rather than harmful, and to proclaim the doctrines of personal liberty and license, as opposed to prohibition. The articles are not all on the temperance question, but are sandwiched In between dissertations on the trusts, the coal strike and other topics. The Phalanx asserts that this is part of the plan announced at the national liquor dealers' convention, held recently at Louisville, to begin a campaign of education. The paper charges that Mr. Rappaport Is the author of the articles. Oliver W. Stewart, of Chicago, Prohibition national chairman, was In the city to-day. He says aggressive campaigns are being conducted In most of the States in this "off year,” w'hich will put the organization In fighting trim for

1904.

Indianapolis Is a leading competitor for the meeting of the next Prohibition national convention. Minneapolis and Kansas City are also striving for the honor. Detroit may enter the race, and Chicago is always a receptive candidate. It Is believed Indianapolis has an excellent chance, as Its advantages and location will bring it the votes of most of the national committeemen in the Eastern and Southern States. The local committee that is pushing the matter Is composed

It looked for a time as If some of them would fall into line, at least on the congressional ticket, and vote for the candidates nominated by the Democracy. But that fear Is effectually dissipated. I think Mr. Bryan’s letter following Mr. Cleveland’s address before the Tllden Club opened the eyes of the Eastern Democrats to the true situation In the Democratic party. Old Crowd at the Helm.
