BUILDERS LAY RED ACTIVITIES TO UNION MEN Opposition to Immigration Is Plot to Force Higher Wage, Charge. OFFICERS ARE RETAINED Rather startling, statements marked .the debate on the association's policies toward immigration and labor legislation at yesterday’s session of the ninth annual convention of the National Builders’ Exchanges in the assembly room of the Claypool hotel. During the discussion vigorous statements were made regarding the lack of effort on the part of the United States department of labor to stamp out the reds and radicals in this country and the motive behind the American Federation of Labor’s fight for complete suspension of immigration was estimated in terms of self-interest. One speaker charged that the federation was against immigration because it would continue the prevailing labor shortage and thereby enable organized labor to further boost the wage levels in the United States. President Charles William Bernhardt took the position that Immigration should be carefully regulated, but tbt the gates of America should not be closed to those who desired to escape conditions in Europe when, on their arrival in the United States, they made n convincing showing as to their character and sincere intention of abiding by the laws of this country and becoming citizens. The speaker said that the legislative committee of the National Association of Builders’ Exchanges had correspondence in its possession which indicated the country is not approaching a crisis, but that it already is in one. Although during the debate every shade of opinion from complete exclusion of thg immigrant to liberal regulation was expressed, the convention’s resolution on the question proved to be a conservative compromise favoring the continuation of immigration "under proper regulations." When the convention was called to order at 10 o’clock this morning the applications of the exchanges at Little Rock, Ark., and Warren, 0., met with favorable action. The annual report of the board of control was received and filed and V. R. Gould of Omaha, chairman of the labor committee, reported that on account, of the unsettled conditions afid due to the fact that the employer interests were being organized to give the subject direct and inclusive attention, the labo. - committee had been Inactive during the year. 4 William F. Chew of Baltimore presented the report of the legislative committee and it was in connection with this report that the debate on immigration developed. Mr. Chew presented for consideration of the convention a resume of three proposed federal laws which are being backed by several national organizations. One of these would force labor organizations to incorporate so that they could sue and be sued and thereby establish some legal responsibilttes where unions fail to live up to their contracts and agreements or cause damage through unwarranted strikes. Another proposed measure would make unwarranted strikes illegal, and the third .would outlaw strikes of government employes. That the legislative committee for i920 might have the expression of sentiment -of the convention to guide the committee’s efforts the convention voted its ap-, proval' of these proposed measures..' Just before the noon adjournment Max Baumann of New York reported as chairman of the nominating committee saying that in the committee's best judgment it would be wise to re-elect the present officials. He said these officials had made a creditable showing under the extraordinary conditions in 1910; that they were familiar with the peculiarly difficult phases of many of the post-war problems, and that there was every reason to believe they could serve the association better than anew Ret of officers, however efficient and willing the new officials might be. The recommendation was enthusiastically received by the convention and accepted without a dissenting vote, the -secretary of the convention being Instructed to cast the unanimous ballot for the following officials: Charles William Bernhardt, president, Atlanta, Ga. C. A. Dube], Sioux City, la., first vice president. William F. Chew, Baltimore, Md., second vice president. B. M. Freeman, Columbus, 0., treasurer.

He Doesn’t Pounce; He’s So Gentle, Declares French Woman. Tiger?” “Non. Non. Sweet, gentle man,” said Mme. Clemenceau-Jacquemaire In describing her father, Premier Clemenceau of France. Mile. Balavier, secretary to the noted French woman, who was the guest of the Alliance Franchise of Indianapolis yesterday, came to the rescue of the reporter. "Madame means,” said Mile, Baiavier, “that ‘Tiger’ in France is a title of respect. "She means that he, Monsieur Clerneneea, he is so gentle. He does not spring, pounce. He is so gentle. Ah, she means so kind. Gentle like ze American kitten. Gentle, you know, so kind. You know, so loveable.” All the while Prof. C.

WE’LL GET CARS SOON, PERHAPS Jameson Says Service Will Be Improved ‘if Possible A delegation of business men and citizens, patrons of the Lexington avenue street car line, appeared before the boaro of public works to demand Improvement of the car service on that line. Ther left the City.hall with promises and assurances of Dr. Henry Jameson, chairman of the board of directors of the street car company, that the service would he Improved—“if possible.” Individuals of the delegations shook their heads during the “explanations” offered by Dr. Jamison, aind were heard to mutter something about “If possible.” “What's the matter, doctor?” bluntly demanded the delegation. NOPE, DIDN’T SEND ’EM TO WAR. “Car shortage. Car shortage. That’s .l,” replied Dr. Jameson. -“What’s become of the cars? Didn’t send ’em to war, did you?” asked one of the delegation. “I have inside information,” said Dr. Jameson ignoring the thrust, “that more cars Will be delivered to us about Feb. 10, but labor and lack of materials have held orders and we have been unable to give you people relief, ns much as we would like to do. But we can not put on a third car on the Lexington line now and it could not be operated under existing track conditions If we did have It. But we are not letting the matter drag.” He produced letters to prove the good faith of the car company. The matter was finally adjusted when the board agreed to order a twenty-min-ute service on the line, utilizing the two X cars, but arranging a definite schedule and seeking to reroute the street cars on the line north on Illinois street to Washington, instead of making the detour by way of Capitol avenue. f Dr. Jameson agreed to try out the proposed changes.

Balavier. the secretary, called attention to several points made by madame. “She Raid,” emphasized the secretary, “that she has seen moving pictures of what Is claimed to be French styles, Shocking! Those pictures don't represent the French style. “Look at my skirt. Not short. No. The shortest that I have,” said the secretary. “Some people here seem to think that we don’t wear stockings In Frnnee. Shocking. That gives a wrong impression. Madame is right when she says the pictures of so-called French styles are ( Indecent. Those pictures do not represent French styles. Never.

LEGION HOME PLANS MADE Tthe Indianapolis citizens' committee, which haR considered plans fur the pro posed American Legion home, has daelded that the best way to commomoratp the activities of those who served In the world war, would be to erect a great memorial as a part of a city plaza plan on the block between Michigan and North streets and Pennsylvania and Meridian streets. The committee estimates tbe cost of the entire project at $10,000,0b0. The cost of the land alone is estimated at $4,750,000. It proposes the purchase of two city blocks, between Vermont and North streets and Pennsylvania and Meridian, erecting a building on one block and renting a plaza on the block south of the Memorial to the Federal building. In the block between North street and St. Clair street, on which is located the state blind school at St. Clair park, it proposes the creation in the future of another addition to the city plaza. The proposed memorial building would house the national headquarters of the American Legion, the national headquarters of the Grand Army of the Republic, the Woman's Relief corps, the SpanlshAmerican War Veterans and tiny other organization of world war veterans. It would require several years to complete <he project. It is proposed that the cit/ and county provide money to purchase the site and that the state provide the money for the building. If a second special session of the legislature is held in the spring a bill making possible the beginning of these plans will be Introduced.

NONE SPARED BY LIQUOR LAW Judge Anderson Sentences Rich and Poor ‘Violators’. Men wearing diamonds and men wearing patches stood together in federal court yesterday and pleaded guilty to violating the Reed prohibition amendment. Charles F. Heilman, former mayor of Evansville,' once a power in southern Indiana polities, was sentenced by Judge Anderson, “Three hundred dollars and costs," decreed the court, “for I do not believe there Is any evidence of sale in this case." John G. Meyer, who was caught with Heilman bringing thirty gallons of whisky from Henderson, Ky., to Evansville, was fined SIOO and costs. “So you're the man who jumped behind a tree when the officers halted you?” Inquired the court. Meyer, a small man, admitted the fact. Heilman, large and well dressed, looked much out of place in the courtroom before the Judge's bench, alongside of other defendants, foreigners from Gary, East Chicago and Hamtpond, and others. / Henry Rufenbarger, a wealthy farmer, Page Two.) who lives near Muncie, Ind., told Judge Anderson that he would not have been caught if it had not been for his wife, who deserting him. “spilled” to the officers of his bringing seventy-five gallons to his farm from Illinois. “it’s awful when a man’s wife goes back on him, ain’t it? said tbe Judge, “but seventy-five gallons, fifteen gallons the first time and sixty gallons the next time. Why man. what Jid you want with that much whisky'* "I wanted It to last me the rest of my life. My father lived to be ninety years old,” explained Rufenbarger. “How old are you?" the court interrupted. "I'm 60” "Humph, then seventy-five gallons would last you until you were 90, if you drank it at the rate of about two gallons and a half a year, wouldn't It? How much are you worth?” questioned Judge Anderson. Rufenberger finally stated he was the owner of an eighty-acre farm, but it was assessed for more than it was worth. "That's due to that tax law we’ve been hearing about, isn't it?" Rufenberger reluctantly admitted that he was worth "about $25,000.” "Well, suppose we fine you S2OO and costs. How’s that? Is that enough?" asked Judge AndeAon. "That's enough, I guess,” replied Rufenbsrger. "And you, Asher,” indicating the man who had told the court he had Just got out of the army and had gone with Rufenbarger to Illinois to "get a drink or two.” "You've admitted you are guilty, too, we’ll make it SIOO and costs in your case."

THIN, NERVOUS PEOPLE NEED BITRO-PHOSPHATE What It Is and How It Increases Weight, Strength and Nerve Force In Many Instances

Take plain bitro-phosphate is the advice of these physicians to tliin, delicate, nervous people who lack vim, energy and nerve force, and there seems to be ample of the efficacy of this preparation to warrant the recommendation. Moreover, if we judge from tbe countless preparations and treatments which are continually being advertised for the purpose of making thin people fleshy, developing arms, neck and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and angles by the soft curved lines of health and beauty, there are evidently thousands of men arid women who keenly feel their excessive thinness. Thinness and weakness are often due to starved nerves. Our bodies need ni/arp phosphate than Is contained in mexern foods.
