REGISTRATION OF VOTERS LIGHT THROUGH COUNTY.

Apathy Is Apparent 1b Rensselaer - And Returns From Rural Precincts ~- fe Lightest. Scarcely half of the voters of Jasper county yesterday availed themselves of their first opportunity to register under the law passed by the last legislature. Apathy was apparent in Rensselaer and Marion township, only about fifty per cent of the voters having registered. The lightness of the registration at the agricultural precincts is due to the fact that the farmers refused to leave their spring work to go to the polls. Registration in Indianapolis was very light and for the accomm p 3 ' of the voters they will ‘continue to hold the polls open for three or four days in Marion county. The number who registered in Marku township'is as follows: Precinct No. Reg. No. 1. 132 No. 2 139 No.-S 85 No. 4 144 The registration reports of the other townships so far filed are as follows: Jordan ... 60 Union south 55 Barkley east 27 Barkley west .8$ Newton 58 Carpenter east ?. 82 Carpenter west .. .'47

MONON SECTION MEN STRIKE FO R HIGHER WAGES.

AU Walk Ont Except Foreman; Delay Might Cause Engineers to Refuse To Run. The entire Monon system is affected by a walk-out of thesectionmen. Every section man on the road, except the foremen, went on a strike this morning. The trouble arises over wages. They demand $1.75 per day of 10 hours’ work. Heretofore they have only been getting $1.50 a day.' .... About a year ago they walked out and gained a small raise at that time. There is a great demand now for labor at $2 per day, and it is doubtful if the men return to work unless their full demand is granted. Unless a settlement is made within four or five doys or a new. force of section men employed, the engineers and firemen will refuse to work because of the danger of running over Uncared for tracks.
