BIG BUSINESS AFRAID, LITTLE FRY CHEERFUL Spillane Finds Peculiar Conditions Existing at Toledo, Ohio. ONE CONCERN IS GAUGE When It’s Going Full Force City Hums—Reverse Holds True. Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. By RICHARD SPILLANE. TOLEDO, Aug. 30.—Toledo is peculiar in that many of its big business men are pessimistic while many cf the smaller business men are quite cheerful. Bankers talk dolefully. One of them said he feared there would be little employment and much suffering this winter. At the same time he acknowledged that money was easier. Men with small industrial establishments varied in their view. Some saw distinct improvement, while others thought it would be early in the new year before there was a decided turn for the better. An explanation of this may be found In the fact that one concern, the Wiilyg-Overland. far outranks all others In size in the Toledo district, and it is not doing much. The other industries are greatly diversified. Some of them are dependent on the Willys-Orerland. When the Overland ia working to full capacity the city hums. When it lags the effect is Lroad. Today the Overland has less than 3.0C0 at work. At one time it had 12.000. But the efficiency of the worker has increased considerably. It Is estimated that on the present basis of production 7.5C00 men would do what formerly required a force of 12,000. HERE’S HOW OTHER INDUSTRIES STAND. Os the Industries other then the Overland here is how they stand todady: Sash, door and mill plants, some working to capacity, others doing a satisfactory business. Paint and Tarnish plants, excellent. Trucking concerns report a noticeable Increase in hauling. National Cap Manufacturing Company, which has a trade in five States, increasing force of workers. Kerscher Elevator Company, little business beyond repair work. F. Meigs Envelope Company, fair amount of orders. Howell Emerson Motors, little business. Casloa Press, largest printing establishment in the territory, business men outside Toledo tending In orders tDd showing confidence. Business men from j Toledo houses slow. August orders better than for several months and signs are Tor further improvement. Grain drying machines, very dull. Metal wheels (for baby carriages and children's vehicles) slow. Coffee roasters, dull. Canvas goods manuacturing, fair. Shipyards, dead. Furnace plants, running on reduced schedule. National Malleable Castings Company, very dull. Champion Spark Plug, doing quite well. Toledo Scales. fßlr. REAL ESTATE MAN’S HISTORY REMARKABLE, In the face of this rather discouraging condition a real estate man, George B. RJea'oy, has made a remarkable showing. Head estate was as Cat as a pancake when he started to advertise property la a development he has under way. He was very plain in his statements. He said he didn't want buyers who did not Intend to bu|ld and he didn't want buyers who were unable to carry out their contracts. Toledo was a pretty decent sort of a city to live in, but it was short of houses and a housing shortage penalized not only the city but the worker. A man who owned a home was a better citizen generally than a renter. He was more stable and naturally became thrifty. He asked the people to come out and see what he had to offer. They went. His property is being laid out with wide boulevards well sewered, good sidewalks, good roads, electric conduits underground, etc. He got together an organization of 100 salesmen and in less than five weeks he has sold $013,450 in home sites. Bankers and others speak highly of Mr. Rickaby and they say "he's a confirmed optimist,” as if you must take that into full consideration when viewing his performance. Rickaby laughs when told of what they say. "It's time,” he adds, “I am an optimist. What led me to have faith in the success of this undertaking was the knowledge that the American people—l'm speaking of the vast majority of city dwellers—are more receptive today to thought of home buying, borne building than ever before. High rents have forced them to work for a way out. They are not so prone to speculation. Many, very many, have learned the cost of gambling in oil and other stocks. RENTING SYSTEM HELD A BANE. “If a man is going to live In Toledo and rear a family he owes It to himself and his family to provide a home for then. This renting system has been the bane of our national life. Asa matter of good citizenship and good business I believe- bankers should lend every encouragement to home builders and make the costs to them as low as possible. Men who own their homes are not of the class in which bolshevists flourish. “Rents will not come down unless we build more houses. The supply does not equal the demand here or in any other city. I do not know that material and labor costs are as low as they are going (Continued on Page Seven.)

TAXI DRIVER SHOT ON FORT ROAD

Weeks Says Decision on Troops to West Virginia Expected This Afternoon

MINERS AGAIN LEAVE HOME TO ATTACK LOGAN Force Is Estimated at 1,500 to 3,009, Declares Prosecuting Attorney. INDICT UNION LEADERS MADISON. W. Va.. Aug. 30—Striking miners, who last week began a march from Marmet, Kanawha County, to Mingo County, and who were induced to abandon tholr plans at this place and return to their homes, have again left their : homes and are movjng into Logan County tu bands numbering front a dozen to as high as 200 men, County Prosecutor Mullens of this place said today. The miners were reported to be mobilizing near Blair, I.ogan County and a clash with the civil authorities was momentarily expected in this vicinity. The "army" is said to hare gathered in strength during the past twenty-four hours and a force of between 3,000 and 4.000 has been massed. Trains passing J through Madison from the Coal Rivei- j district were loaded to capacity with j miners. For the most part, Mullens said, the j strikers are “trickling” over the county ; line into Logan County, Into the district i into which Sheriff Don Chafln of Logan i County said: “They shall not pass.” Some are making the “invasion” on : foot. Mullens said, bet the greater number are going into the forbidden territory by automobile or train. All day Monday and last night, as well as late Sunday, the striking miners from the Coal River region were passing ' through Madison on their way to Logan ' County to Join forces with the strikers i there, Mullens said. Monday night a train from the Coal i River district passed through Madison i bearing about two hundred armed strikers. It Is feared this Invasion of Logan County by the miners will result in bloody strife between the strikers and the authorities. A courier from Madison was sent to Logan County Monday and when he returned last night he reported conditions ia the neighboring county “very bad,” according to Prose- | The courier brpugh back the report • that about 1.700 miners from outside , points have Joined the Logan County ] strikers, swelling the ranks of the latter to about 5.000 men.

CITY JUDGE BLAMED FOR TRIPLE INCREASE IN TRAFFIC MISHAPS Police Not Remiss in Making Arrests of Violators, Members of Safety Board Declare. Figures which it was said show that failure of City Judge Walter Pritchard to impose heavy fines on traffic law violators and not lack of arre3ts by the police are responsible for a triple increase In accidents so far this year over the same period of 1920 and a corresponding jump in th enumber of persons cited for traffic irregularities by the police were brought to light by the board of public safety today. Board members requested M. E. Noblett, secretary o fthe Hoosier Motor Club, to confer with them. They told Mr. Noblett the impression was abroad that leaders in the motor club, which was instrumental in obtaining legislation putting the enforcement of traffic laws entirely in the hands of the police have begun to feel that the police department, the board of safety and the city court are “falling down on the job.” Mr. Noblett said no person in his organization, so far as he knew, had expressed such an opinion and that the club certainly does not favor returning power of enforcing traffic laws to constables.

A. L. Taggart, president of the board, declared himself in favor of flat-to-the-curb parking limited to thirty minutes and the rule that the man on the right has the right-of-way all over the city. This would be radically different from the present parking and right-of-way regulations. URGES XOBLETT TO CALL ON JUDGE. The board cited its figures and then asked Mr. Noblett to go to Judge Pritchard and urge upon him a policy of inflicting heavier fines upon first offenders and jail sentences upon second %nd third offenders. Mr. Noblett said that this was something which his board of directors would have to pass upon. Judge Pritchard and the board of public safety have a feud of long standing. The board repeatedly has attacked the court, both in public and in private, always ‘‘passing the buck'' for the failure of law enforcement in Indianapolis from the police department to the court. According to the figures given Mr. Noblett so far this year, 14,827 drivers have been ordered to police headquarters foetraffic violations as compared with 6,606 for the same period last year. There have been 3,333 arrests from Jan. 1 to Aug. 20, of which 1,031 were convicted, 1.023 were discharged, and 1.279 have not been heard of since, their cases presumably being continued. During the same time in 1920 thore were only 1,925 arrests, the board said. MeWHIRTER HAS IT ALL FIGURED OUT. “You see what we're getting.” said Beard Member Felix M. McWhirter. “Two out of seven convicted, two out of seven discharged and three out of seven get their cases continued." “Traffic violators ought to be hit with (Continued on Page Six.)

Lewis Directs Murray to the West Va. Field In an effort to maintain peace in the Wet Virginia cool fields Philip Murray, vice president of the International I'nion, United Mine Workers of America, will leave for Charleston, W. Va., today- to urge miners to return to their home*, according to a statement given out by John L. Lewis, president of tho union, today. The basis of the entire trouble lies with the ‘'Baldwin-Felt*" arnw, according to Mr. Lewis, and he criticises the State government of West Virginia severely for its ‘lamentable breakdown” and failure to handle the situation without outside assistance. This failure of tho State gov ernment has resulted in severe criticisms from representatives of the Federal Government, President Lewis said.

President Harding Refuses Request of Lewis for Meeting WASHINGTON, Aug. 30— President Harding today refused to grant the request of John L. Lewis, president of the t’nlted Mine Workers of America, that s conference of the mine workers itnd the operators in the West Virginia fields be called in the hope of ending trouble there. In a telegram to Lewis, the President is said to have expressed the opinion that the suggested conference would only duplicate the work of the special Senate Committee which expects to start a first hand investigation of the West Virginia coal field troubles on Sept. 10. The President's decision was announced after a conference with Secretary of War Weeks. Seuator Sutherland and a West Virginia delegation. The White Houle declined to miln the text of the President's telegram public, stating that action would have to be taken by Lewis. John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Worker*, dosed the door on a conference with Phillip Murray, vice president and other union officials today, shortly after being informed by a reporter that President Harding had rejected his proposal for an employer-employe conference to settle the West Virginia mine war. Lewis said the text of the President's telegram had not been received and that in the absence of it, he would not make any comment. It Is presumed. however, that the union chieftans are mapping out their course to be followed upon receipt of the message.

DENIES MOTION TO THROW OUT MERGER PLAN Method of Purchase of Seven Indiana Utilities Revealed. SALE TO BE FOR CASH Attorney Says Attempt Is Made to Evade Law. Revelation of the exact, method by which the Indiana Electric Corporation expects to purchase the property of seven Indiana utility plants for the purpose of establishing a central power plant in the coal fields, and the overruling by the commission of the motion of respondents to dismiss the case, were developments today in the hearing before the pubI lie service commission on the petition of the company to issue securities to. purchase the property. The manner In which the property is' to be acquired was revealed by Joseph H. Brewer, Grand Rapids. Mich., president of the corporation, who was put on the atand by the respondents. Mr. Brewer testified his Interests already control the Merchants Heat and Light Company, Indianapolis; the Valparaiso Electric Company and the Elkhart Gas and Fuel Company, all of which the new company proposes to buy. “Do your interests act a* both seller and buyer in these transactions,” Fred Bates Johnson, attorney for the city of Kokomo, asked. “I suppose the Indiana Electric Corporation can buy the property from the owners.” was the reply.

craven coward, a picture of livid fear. He feels his conscience scorched by the concentrated hatred of New York's ten thousand police officers, and bis monomania is that they will suddenly descend upon him, swinging ten thousand night sticks upon his close-cropped, gang-battle-scarred scalp, to avenge their comrade, who was one of the most popular men on the force. It was that fear that drove Iloey —while the police were honeycombing the city for him—to seek “sanctuary” within the Sing Sing prison gates and plead to the prison chaplain, Father Cashin, to sae him from the “wrath of the cops.”*
