How Democratic Tariff Bill Works in Indiana.

Shelbyville, Ind.—There are sixteen turniiture factories in Shelbyville. Not one of these factories is running a full force of men and working (full time. Some of them are working but 36 hours a week; others 40 hours; and some of them have been laid off and closed for a week at a time. There are more vacant houses in Shelbyville at this time than since 1896. Twelve months ago there were no vacant houses in Shelbyville. Now there are probably more than a hundred. At the time of the 1912 election six of the factories of Shelbyville were running a full force of men amd working until 9 o’clock at night.
