Jeffersonville Bars Idlers And So Should Rensselaer

Jeffersonville, Ind., Jan. 14.—“N0 work—no eats.” That’s the sign Mayor Newton H. Myers has hung on Jeffersonville, and he expects vagrants, idlers and all others who expect to find a warm, comfortable room with two or three meals a day free in the city jail, to make wide detours around this place. Mayor Myers purposes to establish a rock pile on which to put city prisoners to work, and declares that those who refuse to work will not be fed.
