WALKED FROM FACTORY
t MUX EMPLOYES OF MARIOS FI KM EÜCOHTEU BY I MOMSTS. o Violrare Offered Strikers May Open to-Operatte Stores Attack on the Factory's Attorney. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MARION, Ind.. July 31. Nonunionists of the Gemmer factory walked to town this evening instead of taking the cars.

The unionists refrained f;m even crowding tho men who have taken their places in the factory. It is consiaercd remarkable that such a demonstration was not accompanied by rioting. It was State! to-night that if the merchants joined with the manufacturers In the fight against organizer; labor co-operative stores will be opened by the unions. It is said that this matter has been under consideration for several days and that assistaiae will be given by the national organization of machinists. Union m'n say. however, that the co-operative stores will be opened only as a last resort. There is much feeling against C. F.

FACETIOUS IN ITS ANGER LOGA!SPORT THREATENS DIRE THINGS TO THE STATE CAPITAL. Plan to Elevate I., L. A C. Tracks Canses Resentment Threat to Establish a Railroad Center. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LOGANSPORT, Ind.. July 31.-The action of the elevated road commission of the Indianapolis Commercial Club In voting to insist on the elevation of the tracks of the Indianapolis, Logansport & Chicago Railroad, now seeking to secure an entrance into Indianapolis, has met with a storm of disapproval in Logansport and threats are being made to organize a sentiment in favor of establishing a commercial center in the northern part of the State to compete with Indianapolis and deprive that city of the bulk of the commercial trade of northern Indiana. Walter A. Osmer, second vice president of the company and a director of the line, was bitter in his criticism of the commission's action. "It is plain to me," said he to-day, "that the Big Four is behind this opposition to our line, the same as it has been in years past, and I am satisfied that the Commercial Club is influenced in its behalf. If not, why was it that, when the elevated track tiuestion was so thoroughly agitated in Indianapolis about a year ago, and the Big Four was making such a hard fight against it, the Commercial Club stepped in and said it was not necessary at that time to require the elevation of the tracks? "lndianapollsris primarily a railroad town, and it cannot afford to shut out any railroad seeking an entrance there. Russiavllle, a little town on our proposed line, last year shipped out 273 carloads of stock, and only five of these went to Indianapolis because of excessive freight rates. The rest went to Buffalo and Chicago, hundreds of miles distant. The Indianapolis commercial Interests should not forget the time the merchants of a number of small towns on our route cut them off the list when the city made the mistake of resorting to its exclusive policy by turning this road down eight years ago. "Indianapolis is not too big but that railroads can benefit the town. There are other cities in the northern part of the State that are fast developing into first-class rallroad centers, and it would not be the most difficult thing in the world to organize a sentiment in this part of the State to make one of them the leading commercial center."
