RAIL MEN SEEK WAGE INCREASE (Continued from page one) The men absolved the union from all blame. The reign terror, they I said, was fostered by a small band of radicals who were active in spreading the doctrines of soviet Russia among the workers. Husolis was taken by police t 6 the scene of the wreck anti described in detail how the spikes were pulled, which sent the fast express into the ditch. "We did not care whether it was a passenger or freight train” Husolis said, according to Hughes. “We wanted to kill the tireman and. engineer. We wanted to scare other train crews and make them afraid to operate.’£ Tho four men were formerly employed in the shops of the New York Central railroad. They selected the Michigan Central under an agreement with members of the “ring” on that road that they would wreck a New York Central train. “We pulled the spikes that held the plates Joining two sections of rail,” Hughes declared Husolis told him. “Then we twisted one rail twelve Inches outside and spiked it down. This made a derail certain.” The “million dollar express" hit the rails at 60 miles an hour. Twentythree cars went into the ditch. The fireman and engineer were killed. Police received a tip from a for- ' eigner who said he overheard the plotters. When Husolis confessed he named the informant as one of the gang, Hughes said. Information was taken by federal authorities in the raid on the communist nest at Bridgeman, Mich., : which led them to believe that Reds ( were active among the rail strikers.

90 PER CENT OF MINES OPERATE • Indiana Coal Mines Are Astir Once More Following Many Weeks’ Strike Terre Haute, Ind., Aug. 28—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Indiana coal mines reached 90 per cent normal capacity today, according to reports to district 11 headquarters of the miners. In the Terre Haute district production was about 94 per cent normal. "Normal" in this instance, officials said, means men at work. At some mines classified as "working”, actual hoisting of coal has not yet started, but will as soon as the mines are cleaned up. So far there have been ample cars to take care of production, but officials fear a shortage is not far away, if the shopmen’s strike is not ended. ? Late News *< $ Flashes fl (United FrcM Service). Indianapolis, Aug. 28—Refusal of Indiana mine operators to set a price of $3.50 a ton for coal at the mines today resulted in the state coal emer gency committee withdrawing from the fair price parley. The operators declared that if they could obtain sufficient cars to trans port their output the price of coal naturally would be held down. Otherwise they held they would not profit unjustly because price (luxation would no more than pay them for a certain amount of idleness enforced by lack of cars. The operators held out for $4.50 a ton when the committee asked them to set a $3.50 price. Chairman MeCardle of the coal emergency committee warned the operators that tlie public service commission would invoke its police power and refuse cars to owners who boosted their prices above a reasonable figure. He said he had refused reports of fourther profiteering by operator*. Chicago, Aug. 28—Ten alleged red j were held here today in connection with the wreck of the Million Dollar Express of the Michigan Central at Gary recently. The ten were taken into custody after police declated they obtained a confession from Charles Husolis of Gary, an alleged member of the band. Indianapolis, Aug. 28.—5100,000 of weather insurance was taken by the state board of agriculture today against rain during the state fair which opens next Monday.

Gas Saving Devices We learn that canvassers are selling so-called "gas saving” devices and believe it a duty; as well as service to advise our customers regarding same. They ABSOLUTELY DO NOT REDUCE GAS BILLS and if Installed will probably be a source of annoyance. Our investigation of all known types has shown that they reduce the pressure and restrict the flow of gas to such an extent that often good service cannot be secured where these devices are installed. We constantly receive requests from customers who have purchased and tried out such devices, to remove them. The canvasser plausibly states that we, of course, in our desire to sell more gas, will advise you against purchasing them. Notwithstanding this, we are continually investigating more economical methods and appliances and would gladly recommend or install any device that WOULD SAVE GAS, for the simple reason that we consider satisfied customers our biggest asset. The actual quantity of gas passing through the gas meter fs registered by the meter, irrespective of any deVice that may be attached to the gas pipe on either side of same. THE ONE AND ONLY PLACE GAS CAN BE SAVED IS AT THE BURNER—THE POINT OF CON- , SUMPTION. IB The Only Fuel For Heating Water L JT ' t Gas is pre-eminently the fuel for | WH this purpose, not only on account of ft J its great cleanliness and convenience, J v I but because it supplies the only heat | -■ which can be regulated perfectly, ’ thus keeping the temperature of the . .g water uniform. j When coal is used to obtain a limited supply of hot water, a great percentage of the gases go up the flue as waste heat. When gas is used, you get the highest rate of efficiency that is possible in any water heating device. See the gas water heater at our showroom. Northern Indiana Gas & Electric Co. THE GAS CO.
