AND WALKED OUT r i Dispute Over Whether the Windows Should be Raised or Lowered. • A dispute over whether the Windows should be lowered from the top or raised from the bottom, occurred at > the Waring Glove factory at about 10 o’clock thia morning, and as a result about forty-five girls walked out. For several years it has been the custom during the hot weather to lower the - windows to within five inches of the bottom and raise the windows thaj amount, thus giving ventilation both below and above. In addition electric fans are used inside to keep the air circulating. A new forelady, Miss Anna Parent, began work this week ’ and the demand was made of her that the windows be raised Instead of lowered. This was refused, because the management believed the other plan the best for all concerned atid the walk-out followed. The occurrence did not seem to bother management in the least. In fact, Mr. Waring said, that at this season of the year the factory could make money by shu'tlng down, but it is kept run- • ning in order to keep the girls emy ployed and thus have the force ready .. when the busy season comes on. The factory at this time employs about r ninety girls, of which number about 3 half remained on duty. r © ■WANT IT TO RUN r — 3 Heavest Stockholders in Decatur Packing Plant Want to Reorganize AND BUY THE PLANT 1 J At Receiver’s Sale in Few Weeks —Want to Set it , in Motion Again. ’ About thirteen of the heaviest stock- ■ holders of the former Decatur Packing company met this morning at 10 o’clock to talk over plans for organiz- ■ ing a new company for the purchase ■ of the Decatur Packing company’s • plant which will be sold at receiver’s ■ sale July 20th.

WILL BACK UP Republicans to Revise Their Plans for the Coming Campaign. TALKING HARMONY Eighth District Republicans May Hold Convention in July. Indianapolis, Ind., June 31) —All of the republican nominees for congress have been invited to meet Chairman Lee of the state committee here Friday night. It is very likely that Senator A. J. Beveridge will be present and that, there will be a general discussion of the plan of campaign to be followed during the summer. There is talk now that in view of the way President Taft came out in his legislative program there will be a change in the plans for the Indiana contest. The insurgents started off with a great rush several weeks ago at the state convention, but it is said that Chairman Lee and others have found ’ a strong drift favorable to President Taft and that they are counseling Senator Beveridge and his associates not to go too heavy on the insurgent 5 feature. Some of the congressional nominees are pledged by their conventions In favor of the Payne-Aldrich tariff. Others have platforms which contain no tariff plank. Efforts are to be made to reconcile matters so that there will be no friction during the campaign. r k f Indianapolis. Ind., June 30—Efforts 0 are being made to bring about a more t harmonious condition among the rer publicans of the Eight district which n Congressman Adair of Portland has. e carried twice by large majorities, It 8 admitted that factional disturb--1 ances among the republicans gave li Adair his oportunity, and he was c shrewd enough to make good. Frank r Snyder, an attorney at Portland, is s now being urged to make the race k for congress. He is regarded as a t good campaigner. He was identified with the opposition of George W. e Cromer, but the latter is a candidate a for the nomination for judge pt the e fuperlor court of Delaware and Grant c ♦■btintles. It is «ald that many of the !- ariti-Ctomer men are helping him and •- that his chances of landing the nofiib e nation are bright. If he gets on the y ticket with the assistance of his oldi- time opponents it is thought that a i- long step toward sraightening out the y tangle will have been taken. Cai>e tain Elis, one of Cromer’s friends, is t on the ticket in Delaware county for t judge of the circuit court. It is said that many of the Cromer men are insisting on Judge Joseph Leffler of I Muncie making the race for congress. Judge Leffler is popular throughout the district, and it is reported that Cromen men are anxious to stand for him. although he was counted as one -of their opponents in former struggles. At this time It is said that either Judge Leffler or Snyder would be acceptable to most of the republicans of the district. Albert Vestal of Anderson is still talked of for the congressional nomination in the Eighth, but no one seems to know definitely whether he intends to make the race. It is very likely that the republicans • will hold their congressional convention in the Eighth during July. MRS. TRICH GROWING WEAKER. A message received by Mrs. J. W. Vail this afternoon at 3 o’clock from J. C. Tritch at Bloomington, states ( that his wife, who was operated upon .
