RAIL TIE-UP LOOMS IN ATTEMPT TO CUT WAGES OF WORKERS Brotherhood Heads Predict Transportation Crisis and Say Men Will Refuse to Work With Pay Reduced. LEADERS SEE DISCONTENT MOUNTING WASHINGTON, Feb. 3. —The specter of a transportation tie up is hovering over the nation today as the result of threats to reduce railroad wages, according to labor leaders here. Railroad workers, embittered over wage conditions, are even now threatening to leave their work, leaders here declare.

While the heads of the railroad labor organizations refused to predict a strike, in the event that railroad wages are reduced, they declare that the nation wlli face a transportation crisis and Intimate that the men will simply refuse to work at reduced wages, whether their leaders wish thetp to or not. There has been a rumbling of discontent In railroad labor circles for many months, as the result of the failure of the railroad labor board to grant the full wage demands of the workers and the granting of increased rates to the railroads. This discontent is steadily mounting, and if wages are reduced leaders here assert they will not be able to hold their men in line. HARD TO KEEP MEN AT WORK. ‘"The hardest Job we have 'right now is to keep the men at their work,” said E. C. Davison, secretary of the International Machinists organization. The machinists union embraces a majority of the railroad shop workers. ‘‘The men are bitter,” said Davison. “They wish to throw up their jobs and quit working now. Our task is to keep them on the Job. ‘‘l don’t wish to talk strike. I don’t know what the men will do If wages are reduced, but I know that it will be next to Impossible to hold the men In line. If I were a shop worker and wages were reduced I would throw up my Job right away and, if necessary, I would leave the trade. “The railroad men made enormous sacrifices during the war. They lived under terrible conditions but they kept the flow of supplies steadily going on. When the war was over and they saw the railroads being plundered they became bitter and they are more bitter now than ever. BAY ROADS NOT JUSTIFIED IN' CUT. “The railroads are not justified in reducing wages. Such talk as Atterbury’s about the reduction of wages Is a crime, and the men know it is a crime. “The railroads were granted huge rate Increases to meet the rising cost of labor. Labor has secured 30 per cent of those rate increases and the public is bearing the burden. The other 70 per cent of the Increases has not gone to labor and the roads have no justification for talking wage reduction. "We have the facts. We know the conditions of the railroads. They can afford to pay five times as much for repair work done outside of their shops as they paid for It In their shops before the war (Continued on Page Five.) LEAGUE BLOCKS WORK ON ROADS Holds County Council to Promise to Wait for Lower Prices. Representatives of the Indianapolis Taxpayers* League today successfully blocked an attempt to have the Marion County coum-il approve plans for improvement of the Bluff road at an estimated cost of (281,4i'>2 and held the county commissouers to a former agxeement with the league that no extensive road improvements would be allowed this year while prices of materials remain high. County Councilman Hence Orme, who lives on the Bluff road, introduced a resolution calling upon the council to approve £lans for improvement of the Bluff the Allisoiiville pike, at an estimated cost of $73 080. and Northwest-, ern avenue at an estimated cost of $1:71..100. Alfred Potts, secretary of the Taxpayers’ League, and others appeared before the council. Mr. I’otts declared that extensive road improvements at the present high costa would result in a dangerous tax situation. DECLARES PEOPLE WILL SELL PROPERTY. “The tax rate will be so high if this thing continues that people will lie gelling their property in Indianapolis,” Mr. Potts declared. Mr. Potts explained that the league does not oppose temporary repairs. Several truck growers urged the board to remedy conditions on the Bluff road. Councilman Orme contended that the meeting at which it was decided not to make extensive road improvements this year was “a select affair” and that the opposition came from persons living on roads already improved. Mr. Orme withdrew hU resolution asking for approval of the proposed road Improvements when It became evident it would be voted down. The council, in making appropriations, refused any money to pay deputy assessors to be used by Township Assessor Michael Jefferson this spring, but allowed $931.75 to pay help employed by Mr. Jefferson last year. Mr. Jefferson asked $27,612 for this year. OTHER APPROPRIATION’S ARE ALLOWED. Other appropriations allowed were: $225, comity recorder; SSO, game wardens: $22,000. salary for courthouse employes; $450, rugs for chambers of Superior Court, room 3; $2.500. Improvements at poor farm; $2,000, laundry at Julietta; $2,000. supplies and repairs on proposed annex to Detention Home: S3OO, Indianapolis Humane Society; $73,000. voting machines; SSOO. bridge repairs; SIO,OOO. collection of sequestered taxes: $1.67050. damages done to Millersville road; S4OO. filing cabinets for juvenile court; SI,OOO. industrial awards. County Commissioner Carlin Shank suggested that the council and the commissioners take a trip to Ohio to study the farm colonies in that State, as the council has under consideration a plan to colonize the poor farm, Julietta and other similar Institutions.

Plans for the momentous day when he will become chief executive of the United States occupied a part of the attention of Warren G. Harding today. News from Washington of the attendance at a theater, of President Wilson, it is understood, permitted the Presidentelect to outline with more certainty the schedule for his Journey from the White House to the Capitol and the return to the executive mansion for luncheon with his predecessor. No doubt was express'd by members of the Harding party that President Wilson would be seated beside Mr. Harding on that journey. The President-elect left for Palm Reach on the yacht Victoria early in the day after spending the night at anchor near Ft. Lauderdale. The Victoria is expected to arrive at Palm Beach early in the evening. Mr. Harding will lunch at the home of Mrs. Theodore Freliughuyseu and play eighteen holes of golf before sailing again for the North. YACHT VICTORIA STRIKES SANDBAR. George 15. Christian, Jr., secretary to the next chief executive, was marooned for a time Wednesday on a bar In Biscayne bay. The remainder of the Victorian party motored to Ft. Lauderdale for golf, expecting to be picked up here by the boat. With Christian aboard, th* Victoria Rtruck a sandbar and Christian was forced to row ashore. In a tender.

Gilchrist, scenario writer, pose in the nude for art’s sake or for the sake of the artist?” Gilchrist claimed she posed for the sake of t'>e artist, whom he named as co-respondent. Mrs. Gilchrist said she posed for art's sake. Attorneys for Gilchrist exhibited seven photographs to prove his wife posed for the artist's sake. Attorneys for the model expressed fears that Jurors who did not appreciate art would get In the box. For this reason four clerks, ten bricklayers nnVl three plumbers were excused from service.

VILLA THREATENS TO TAKE WARPATH

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Feb. 3.—Reports that Francisco Villa, retired bandit chieftain, may lead a Mexican revolution of bjs own, persisted here today. Federal authorities, while admitting the situation against President Alvaro Obregon had become alarming, discredited the Villa reports. The picturesque Mexican revolutionist, it was reported, had refused to lead a force of Federal troops against the Arleta brothers, now in rebellion In Durango. Villa was asked to go to Mexico City to be commissioned a general. He refused. saying he would not “take up arms” against the Arietas, advices here declared. The illness of President Obregou, several times reported In press dispatches, but officially denied by the present Mexican government, is said to bo the factor which has caused the revolutionary outbreaks. In Durango, where eleven Arleta brothers are in complete control of the state, the revolutionary forces are leu by Gen. Domingo Arleta. former Governor of Durango and a former Übregon adherent. The Obregon garrison in the city of Durango has gone over to the Arleta brothers and It is reported the governor of the state has fled. In addition to the rebellions admitted by the Mexican government Informa-

DAWES SLINGS CUSS WORDS IN ARMY DEFENSE \ : Picturesque and Forceful Testimony in War Purchases Given Committee. HINT HANDED HARDING WASHINGTON, Feb. 3—Charles G. Dawes, th£ Chicago banker, who is prominently mentioned as a possible Secretary of the Treasury in th 9 Harding Cabinet, dripped mansize cuss words and forceful advice today when he reappeared before the congressional subcommittee which is investigating A. E. F. expenditures '‘abroad. Dawes was a brigadier general and Pershing's chief purchasing agent. “If you men,” h*> snid forcibly to member* of the Congressional Committee, “would spend just one-quarter of the time trying to see the waste that goes on by hundreds of millions right under your noses instead of trying to put fly specks on our war record, you would be doing a much bigger public service and wo would have a h—l of a lot better govern* ment.” “Everything considered,'' he continued, “I don't think a single solitary dollar whs wasted in France. D-n it all, the business of an army is to win a war, not to quibble around with a lot of cheap buying.” COMMITTEE LETS DAWES DO TALKING. Members of the committee let General Dawes do mist of the talking. It is not often that a Congressional Committee hears such a forceful witness. "With all due respect to yonr committee,” continued Dawes, “I want to tell you that you can't put one fi.v speck on the American Army." This was emphasized 'by vigorous thumps on the table which set the ink stands Jumping. “For every in Is fa he nuule in the A. E. F. yon have been making the same mistakes here in Washington for a hundred years. ll—l, Marla, we weren't trying to beep a set. of books. We were trying to win a war.” Representative Henry Flood, Democrat, Virginia, interrupted General Dawes. “I agree with you in many respects. General,” he said, “but there was graft and grafters.

INDIANAPOLIS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1921.

Sure Signs of Election Seen at City Hall Hays Wilson, Beverly Howard Lieutenant, Directs Early Fresco Cleaning. Unmistakable signs that not only spring is on her way, but also that she is bringing with her a city primary election, aro evident at the city hail. The “swish" of the paint brush and I the “swash” of a wet rag. cleaning the frescoing In City Controller Robert H. I- Bryson's suite of offices are the har- : btngers of the brighter and better days. The fact that Hays Wilson, negro, a lieutenant of Beveriy Howard, negro Republican generalissimo in the northeast section of the city, is the man who wields the brush or directs half a dozen assistant wielders, is taken as a reliable indication that an election Is on its way and that Beverly’s boys who have been somewhat disaffected from the city hall organization since Beverly got mad at Mayor Charles W. Jewett over too frequent visits of the police to his place, i must be taken care of. I PRICK NOT DETERMINED. I While Hays Wilson and his aides freshen the controller's fresco at a price | which even Hays says has not been dei terinined but will be “whatever the Job is worth,” nine, or ten, or possibly more j Janitors draw S9O per month from the 1 < ity ostensibly for keeping the city hall | dean. Something like $19,000 i( handesl j out for janitor service at the :ity hail annually. “Why can't the Janitors clean this fres- ! eoing?” Hays Wilson was asked. “Because it takes an expert. 'Taint everybody who can clean frescoing, man,” Hays responded and swabbed away at j the wall. | “Besides, these janitors, they go to work at 4 o'clock every morning," Hays added, and adjusted his ladder. The only time the public ever sees the Janitor corps In on Saturday morning, when the main halls are scrubbed. Hays says he would like to clean the walls all over the city had, but the ' board of works had given him authority only to work on those in the controller's office, because the controller wished his place "done." FEAR EFFECT OF EARLY CLEANING. A member of the board of works said j tiie board did not feel much like having the whole (Ity Hall cleaned at this time, j tint felt that they should wait until spring after the necessity for operating the Jbeating plant is past. The board feared that if the walls were cleaned now they would be smoked up again by summer. However, the board member said, Mr. Bryson was Informed that if he wanted his walls cleaned he should go ; ahead and have Hays Wilson do it. Another member of the board said that ] Hays was permitted to start on the controller's walls as an experiment and that I if he does a good enough Job he will be | permitted to clean the rest of the city | hall. I Hays has no contract with the board ’of works, other than a verbal agreej meat that he shall do the work and j submit his bill, It is said. DAILEY’S BILL IS UNDER FIRE House Places Codification of Insurance Laws With Department. The Dailey bill, providing for the codification of the Insurance laws of the State and asking an appropriation of $19,000, came under fire in the House of Repre sentatives today when it was up ou second reading. An amendment offered by Representative Claude A. Smith, Gibson County, striking out the appropriation section, was adopted. As the measure now stands it would call for the codification of the laws by | the insurance dapartinent. i In objecting to the appropriation of $ 10,000, Representative Smith scored the employes of the insurance department. Representative Russell K. Bedgood, Tippecanoe County, declared he was opposed to the hiring of another attorney for the codification work and added that the work should be done by the attorney general.

The plan arose from the incident In which Patrolman Pat Shea was deprived of his gun, club and badge by Big Lee George, negro, a city employe, and the events that followed, including the "Jam” with Henry Fleming, negro in charge of the city ash hauling department, and

MANY OTHERS ACCUSED Carl Bernauer, 21, and Charles Jones were indicted jointly today by the Marion County Grand Jury, charged with the murder of Samuel Eaid on Oct. 28, 1920. The grand jury returned a total of twenty-two indictments, ranging from burglary and petit larceny to murder. The action of the grand jury followed a statement by Jones that he was with Bernauer on the night of the murder of Eaid, who was a Syrian and proprietor of a confectionery at 377 South Illinois street. Jones has denied to the police that he aided in the murder. He accuses Bernaeur ot committing the murder. Bernauer, who is best remembered as a recipient of leniency from Judge James A. Collins of Criminal Court, also denies the charge and brands it as a "frame-up.” The Indictment also charges Fernauer and Jones with taking S3O from a cash drawer in the confectionery. THREE INDICTMENTS AGAINST “PONZI.” Three indictments were returned against Samuel G. Bullup, negro, 4118 Cornellub avenue, who has been called the-Black Ponzi.

NOTICE FROM ATLANTA ‘PEN’ STOPS PAPER Indianapolis Authorities Have No Record of Parole Being Granted. ‘NOT ADDRESS,’ IT SAYS Louis E. Haag, who was sentenced last June by the Federal Court to spend eighteen months in the United States prison is no longer at the Atlanta penitentiary, according a report made to the Times today by the United States postal authorities. Where Louis E. Haag is and why he is not serving the sentence imposed by Judge A. B. Anderßon for conspiracy to transport liquor illegally into the state of Indiana is a subject of much conjecture in Indianapolis. Federal authorities In Indianapolis have not been apprised of his release from prison. Michael J. Ryan, counsel for him In the Federal and State courts, declared that he did not know anything about his release. Inquiry at his stores in Indianapolis brought the reply that he was not there. The only intimation of an explanation of his failure to be at the Federal prison came from a close friend of the i family, who declared that Haag expected to be paroled by the prison board : at the earliest possible moment. ENTERED AT PRISON JULY 31. 1920. Louis and Julius Haag were entered at the Federal prison at Atlanta, July 31, to serve eighteen months’ sentence. They , became eligible to parole Feb. 1, 1921, and I the first Intimation publicly received la this city of their release came In the form of the following notice to the Times, postmarked Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 1, 1921, at 7 p. m.; The Indianapolis Daily Times addressed to Louis E. Haag, P. O. Bo* No. 1733, Atlanta, Ga., should be discontinued, as be Is no longer at this address. Respectfully, E. G. Hoplun. correspondence clerk. Federal authorities hare not been informed that either of the Haags hare j been paroled or that the Federal pardon toard intended to grant them clemency. Both Judge Anderson and United States District Attorney Frederick Van Xuys ; expressed surprise at the notice received by the Times from the prison authorities. The Haags were sentenced by Judge Anderson on June 23, 1920. In addition ;to the eighteen months in prison they were fined $10,300 each. The total fine* and costs assessed against both amount j to $21,458.87, none of which has been paid. RECEIVES HINT OF CLEMENCY EFFORT. Early in July Mr. Van Nuys received a hint that an effort was being made to get the punishment lifted from the Haags even before they began serving their time. On July 15, Mr. Van Nuye i said, a letter protesting against any I clemency was sent to the attorney general at Washington. On October Mr. Van Nuys received a letter from the attorney general's office stating that th* Haags had applied for a parole and asking for further particulars In the case. A lengthy statement of the conspiracy to violate the Reed amendment on whicn the HaAgs were convicted and a vigor- ! ous protest against any reduction of th* fine or prison sentence of each was sent Ito the attorney general on Nov. 20. Mr. I Van Nuys said. “I am greatly surprised to learn that the Haags may have been paroled, bei cause I have had absolutely no uotico that paroles have been granted,” said I Mr. Van Nuys. ! CIBTOM USUALLY OBSERVED SET OUT. | It is customary for the Department of ' Justice to notify the district attorney when clemency is about to be granted & I prisoner prosecuted by him. Wheu the Haags return to Indianapolis they will face sentences of thirty days ; on the State Fenal Farm and fines of S4OO each and costs, assessed by a jury in Marion County Criminal Court on Oct. 23, 1919. The Jury found them guilty of operating a blind tiger in a case presided over by Judge Will M. Sparks of Rush Circuit Court. An appeal from this conviction was taken to the Supreme Court of Indiana December, 1919, but was dismissed Oct. o, 1920. According to Prosecuting Attorney William P. Evans this automatically made it legally necessary that the Haags be committed to the Indiana State Farm to serve the thirty-day sentence. "There will be no recommendation for a parole from this office,” he said. RELATIVE IN ROLE OF FORECASTER. More than a month ago a relative of the Haags in this city announced that they would be released from the Federal prison the first of February, but refused to divulge the source of information. Attempts to verify the report through Federal officers revealed that an appeal for a parole made by the Haags had not beon handled in the usual manner by the Department of Justice, but that a special agent had been sent to Indianapolis to interview citizens relative to the petition and to make a special report on the character of the Haags. This special report was sent directly to the Department of Justice and so far I ss is known was never submitted to any ! official of the Government in Indiana.
