POLICE GUARD MINE WORKERS Serbians Take Place of Foreigners Driven From Petersburg. Special to The Times. PETERSBURG. Ind.. June 21.—Fifty Serbian laborers worked peacefully at the construction camp of the George A. Enos Coal Mining Company today while fifteen special deputy sheriffs carried guns nearby to prevent a repetition of the miners’ crusade against foreign labor. Indications were there -would be no further activities by the SOO miner vigilantes who ejected the foreign element and “undesirable” American union miners from Pike and Gibson Counties two weeks ago. The Enos company imported the Serbians to take up the work dropped by 100 foreigners who fled the community. They are building a railroad switch. Among the citizens deputized by Sheriff Wayne Bryan were several miners who disapproved of the "motor mob” rule by which their fellow workmen entered nearby cities and drove out the foreigners. The sheriff accompanied his men and they are ail heavily armed. They carried tents and supplies sufficient to stay at the camp for a week. Richmond Opposes Liberty Petition Special to The Times.

UNION MEN MAY BUILD HOUSES Strikers Plan to Accept Contracts in Construction Work. Special to The Times. RICHMOND, Ind.,, June 21.—Elimination of the general contractor and the establishment of a cooperative plan between prospective builders and the building unions was the solution presented for the building strike in Richmond. The strike has been in effect here almost two weeks. The walkout came as the result of the refusal of the building unions to accept a lower scale of wages offered by the master builders. The detailed plan was gone over last night by carpenters, plasterers and plumbers. It was decided to allow the mas ter tuilders a short period in which to examine the proposal. In the event they fail to put their men back to work the unions will open offices with the inten-

Under the plan the unions are to furnish a foreman and the necessary men to do the work. The men are to work for the regular scale of wages with a small percentage added for the maintenance of central offices. 28 Per Cent Fall When Sentences Suspended Twenty-eight per cent of the persons placed under probation by Indiana courts under the suspended sentence law become delinquent, according to a report by Amos W.

Civilization’s Greatest Achievement Some Eskimos were brought down to Edmonton, Alberta, on official business. They had never before been south of the Arctic Circle. They had never seen a street, a town, a window, or a wooden door. A bed, a water tap, and an electric light produced completely new sensations. Street cars were unknown to them; telephones unheard of; trains not to be believed even when beheld. They had never seen an automobile until someone took them riding in one. They had never set their eyes on an airplane until someone did his most daring stunts in one to thrill them. They had never even seen a movie! But what do you suppose moved them most in the whole bag of tricks which civilization produced for their amusement and amazement? What seemed to them the greatest wonder of all? The cold storage plants! The White Man didn’t always have to hunt and fish when he wanted to eat I Here was civilization’s greatest gift, its greatest benefaction. This feature of civilization make 9 it possible for Swift & Company, in the season of over production, to store a supply of food for distribution in the season of scant, or non-production. Thus we are able to maintain for alt.a constant supply of such choice and necessary foods as Premium Milk-fed Chickens, Brookfield Butter and Brookfield Eggs. Swift & Company, U. S.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, JUNE 2R1921.
MOST STREETS IN DOWNTOWN AREA CROWDED (Continued From Page One.) streets. Illinois between Ohio and Washington streets is the worst. Each of these streets is narrow, compared with Washington street. Each has double track car lines aud angle vehicle parking is permitted on each. Figures recently made public by the Street Railway show that there are IS3 streets cars running through Illinois street between Washington and Ohio streets every rush hour; eighty city aud about thirty interurban cars through the crowded section of Ohio and seventy-four city cars through the stretch of Pennsylvania street mentioned above. Ulility engineers estimate that there are about four automobiles for each electric car on these streets, which means that they are practically solidly occupied during the periods of heavy travel in the morning and late afternoon particularly in the latter. These solid streams move up and down almost entirely in the car track lanes, angle parking of vehicles on both sides forcing them to the center of the streets. Some authorities believe that fiat-to-the-curb parking would help here. Motorists general’y do not favor flat parking because less cars can be stopped in a block and it is more difficult to get up to and away from the curb. Tha question the traffic saviours will have to solve is -whether the greatest number of people will be enabled to move more quickly and easily with flat or angle parking.
The rerouting committoe at work intends to take as many street cars as possible off of these streets. A student of motor movements bur? suggested that automobiles could get through faster If there were a rule permitting them to run in the car tracks alongside safety zones as well as between the zone and the curb in cases there is no ,'treet car standing at the cgosslng. This, he pointed t>ut, would enable automobiles to move in r double instead ot a single stream. The plan, its sponsor argued, would have worked out well on Memorial day, when a great many . reet cars were taken off of their regular routes and sent to the Speedway to handle the race crowd. While there were fewer street cars downtown that day there were thou-

sands upon thousands more automobiles. These could have been handled to better advantage by permission to use car tracks, the exponent of the rule insisted. SLOW VEHICLES KEEP TO BIGHT. Speeding up and better organization of traffic on through streets ought to be given more attention. Meridian street is the best example to work on. The police could facilitate the motor movement here by compelling vehicles to follow the “keep-to-the-right” rule more closely. New York City has a rule which provides that the Blower the vehicle the closer to the curb it shall travel. This prevents the sauntering sight seer jogging along at ten miles per hour from running down the center of the street and holding back the hustling home-goers in high dudgeon behind him. Motor cops who now patrol the street on the lookout for speeders might do a little mis sionary work in speeding up some of the “slower*” that would meat with the approval of most auto drivers and passengers. The ultimate necessity for oneway traffic streets is so close that the board of public safety has been discussing it for months. Such a regulation undoubtedly would be put on Meridian street first. New York now has more than fifty streets upon which single direction movement is required during certain rush hours. Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges both are so regulated during morning and evening rushes. It is not unlikely that a fair handling of the situation eventually will result In prohibition of parking during the day

time in some narrow streets, regardless of the opposition this would meet at first. This is another point where all must remember that the traffic ideal is to get the most people to their destinations in the quickest and easiest way. T'i the readjustment of street traffic there will be much room for improvement of the lot of pedestrians crossing streets. There is little to be done for the safety of those who cross in the middle of the block, but to these who are deliberately invited to cross in supposed safety lanes at street intersections the city owes protection. The one-big fault with the system of moving pedestrian traffic, at least the fault fraught with most danger to life and limb is that there is no time when those wHo walk arq, free to get across without having to cross the path of at least one stream of vehicles. For instance, take the corner of Meridian and Washington streets. Vehicular traffic is moving north and south. Pedestrians, naturally think that they may move across Washington street with the Meridian street movement without much danger. But very often it happens that just as a person gets a few feet off of the west sidewalk crossing Washington street, from the north for purposes of illustration, an automobile turns into West Washington street from Meridian and the hapless pedestrian is directly in ins path. The situation when the lino of cars halted at the center of the intersection waiting to make a iett turn is turned loose by the traffic cop is even worse. Nine times out of ten it makes no difference to the policeman if the street is crowded with crossing

walkers. All he waits to see is that the stream of vehicular traffic straight tnruugh is out of the way of that which he wants to turn to the left. Elimination of the left turn at the four avenue corners has relieved this situation somewhat, but there still Is danger from the person who makes a right turn too fast. PROPOSED RULES FOR FEDESTRLANS. One way of enabling the traffic policeman to take care of the pedestrians in handling right and left vehicle turners would Jje to have those cars which Intend to turn either way stop in a line beginning at the inside of the sidewalk of the street into which they desired to turn. They would wait until the straight through traffic is cleared and then move into the cross street and make their turns at a separate signal from the policeman. This system Is used In New York. Turns are made in front of the traffic semaphore instead of behind It, enabling the policeman to keep a closer watch on it. Holding the turning traffic back until it gets a separate signal would enable the pedestrians to know just when, the crossing walks are iree for them. The only objection to such a plan In Indianapolis is that separate streams of vehicles could not line up unless one used the car tracks and they are too much in demand by the street cars. The plan might be used in some modified fashion on both Meridian and Washington street crossings. There are random bites out of the pie but they serve to show how vast and complicated the whole problem is and
