—iad Entered at the postofflce In Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. A congressional election in a close Alabama district, in which the issue were the peace treaty and the league of nations, resulted in the democrat being elected by a comfortable majority. Those senators can see the hand writing without using powerful glasses it they try just a little. The campaign for the Jewish Relief committee is now in progress in Adams county. If you remember that this money, every penny, goes for the relief -of a starving child of mother, it will be so much easier to give. The expenses are paid by money raised outside the campaign for the purpose. "Give until it feels good," is the advice of Mr. Strauss. Senator Reed was given an enthusiastic* ret eption at Ardmore. Oklahoma, last evening when he appeared to oppose the president's position , on the peace treaty, but it was how- j ever such enthusiasm that will not! tend to make him feel heroic. The | light lines were cut, he was egged off' the stage and was not permitted to deliver his oration. Though not just the best form, the demonstration ought to give the opponents some i idea Qf how- the people are feeling. The state administration is still

There is no appeal from the commission. What they declare you must do, you must, say this power invested board. It wouldn’t be so bad if we could build and maintain I our own roads without palavering our , way through a couple of boards at the capital. At the close of the last Tegislature Governor Goodrich was claiming credit for all the acts and de dared it the “best In fifty years." Now as the blunders of that body bocome apparent he has issued pamph- ' lets accusing ex-Governor Ralston j of being responsible for the tax law While it is true that, the democrats I favored some changes in the tax law. they never wanted a centralized board that would take all control of affairs away from the counties or townships and that’s the real fault with the present law. If the levies ■’ and the assessments were in the i hands of local people they would not dare use the brazen authority now ; exercised by the centralized boards.

QUESTION HANGS I Upon Results of Conference Today with Lloyd George Hangs Question OF INDUSTRIAL WAR Or Peace in Great Britain —Committee May Visit Steel Mill District. (By Ed. L. Keen. United Press staff correspondent) London, Dei. 3. —(Special to Daily Democrat)—-Upon the result of thee conferences today bangs the question of industrial war or peace in Great Britain. Representatives of the railway men reassembled at Unity House at 11 a. m. to consult before their meeting with Lloyd George at noon, when negotiations aiming at a settlement are to be resumed. i ] While the railway men were in ccn- ( ference the Transport workers federation continued its meeting awaiting the result of the parley between Lloyd i George and the strikers delegates. If negotiations fail, it is expected the transport workers immediately will join the striking railway employ-, es.

In the meantime industrial stagnation prevails in Great Britain. As a result of the strike's effect on other industries. 656.006 men are idle besides the railroad employes. This number comprises 400,000 miners, 150,000 iron and steel workers, 26.000 tinplate workers, 20.000 textile operatives. 40,000 dock hands and 10.000 engineers. ip government circles it was declared today that the railway men's return to the conference room, after Lloyd George’s statement *hat he would negotiate until work was resumed, was tantamount to a confession of the strike’s failure. Buffalo. N. T., Oct. 2—(Special to Daily Democrat) —la support of their claim that the coal miners can produce in a six hour day all the coal that possibly can be used, representatives of the United Mine Workers attending the wage conference here today pointed out that the coal production reached its peak in 1918, when 635,000,000 tons were mined. This was done on an eight hour day basis nad with eighty thousand miners in the military service. It was estimated the demand for coal this year will be 135,000,000 tons less than 1918.

“These figures fully sustain the dei mands of the miners for a shorter i work day,” said John L. Lewis, acting president of the miners. Washington, Oct. 2 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —Delay in the settleI ment of the steel strike might result | if the senate labor committee carrys ' out its intention of visiting the steel district. Judge E. H. Gary declared when he resumed his testimony before tpe acsm.ntee today. Strikers misunderstand the purpose of the strike. Gary said. He urged an extended investigation by members of the committee, instead of a hurried two days trip. Chicago. Oct 2 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —Steel strikers in the Chi- ■ cago district continued to lose ground today, according to all indications. I The Marks Manufacturing company at Indiana Harbor announced that it ! was ready to resume operations with ■56 per cent of its regular force. It had been tied up since the strike was called. Plants at Gary. South Chicago and Joliet were increasing their daily output, officials stated. Riots Renewed; Eleven Killed. (Continued from page ena) made on Mrs. W. G. Wisner, a w-hite woman, by c. negro. Guards in the negro district were doubled; firemen were ordered to remain at their stations constantly and no one was allowed to enter the negro district without first showing they had business there. Mrs. Wisner was attacked in her Jiome on the edge of the Black Belt, where several hundred United States troops are on guard. The negro tied his victim, dragged her to a 'woodshed and threatened to kill her if she made an outcry. Her two children later found her and summoned a military guard. Papers here refrained from publishing details of the attaek for fear of inI citing another outbreak. i Helena. Ark.. Oct. 2—(Special to Daily Democrat)—One hundred prisI oners, arrested at Elaine. Ark., folI lowing race riots in which two whites I and seven nagreea were killed, were I brought to the Helena jail today for I safe keeping.
