BOYCOTT VOTED ON MIKE GIBBONS Labor Union Says Pugilist Is Antagonistic. Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 30—Something new In boycotts has been Introduced at a meeting of the delegates to the Central Labor Colon of this city. It is charged that Mika Gibbons, the well-known pugilist, took a decided stand against the union workers in St. Paul and that he erected a building with nonunion labor. Asa result the building trades of St. Taul and Minneapolis gent cut letters requesting all workers affiliated with the American Federation of Labor te withhold their patronage from any boxing show In which he may appear. Hoping thereby to deprive Mr. Gibbons of some very substantial guarantees. The local body, which has 175,000 members, adopted the suggestion. Considerable discussion revolved about a petition which the Private Soldiers’ and Sailors' Cnion of Washington. D. C., has presented to the Senate asking that body to Investigate the officials and charter of the American Legion. The petition states the American Legion is nsicg its influence to disparage organized labor and Its officers.—Copyright, 1921, by rublie Ledger Company. ELECTION BOARDS MEET FRIDAY.

WATERWAY IS NATIONAL PLAN, SAYS SPEAKER Should Not Be Considered as to Effect on One Locality. ADDRESSES ROTARIANS ‘‘We must learn to take a long view of our national problems. There always has been too great a tendency to look at immediate gain and to ignore ultimate consequence*. The time has come when the thirty-day-sight viewpoint must be replaced by one of far-reaching benefits to all the American people and to the future generations of our people,” said Dr. R. S. McElwee, ex-director of the United States Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Service, at the weekly luncheon of the Rotary Club at the Claypool Hotel today, speaking la the interest of the lakes-to-the-ocean waterway project. He Is touring the Middle-Western States under the auspices of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Tidewater Association. In speaking of various features of the project. Dr. McElwee said, in part: "There is opposition to the plan in some quarters. This opposition may be grouped in three catagories: those who think the St. Lawrence route will hurt the commerce of New York, those who fear for the already vanishing commerce of Boston, and other New England ports and those who fear it will hurt the Barge Canal through New York State. "New York will not suffer in Its commerce. The rort is already taxed to Its utmost and has been turning business away, except recently. The costs through New York area are so great that a vast amount of commerce lies below the economic co6t line and does not move at all. Given an outlet this commerce would move over another route and the resulting stimulation to general business and banking would be felt by New York as by all other commercial centers of the country. It was the same sort of opposition that was made' by the printing trade when the linotype was Invented. Narrow-minded and ignorant printers asserted there was only a certain amount of printing to be done and any machine that would make it possible to do the work of several compositors would mean that all others would lose their Jobs. In fact, the linotype has so stimulated printing by reducing costs and saving time that the printing Industry has increased beyond the wildest expectations. The result has been that there are more hand compositors employed today at high pay on special work than when the new facility was introduced, and there are all the linotype operators at high wages iu addition. Facilities make commerce and anew facility will make new commerce that could not exist before. This stimulates commerce In general nil along the line. New York with its superior liner service will attract the highclass freight for which time is more Important than the freight rate. The more foreign commerce the country builds up the more of this fast freight will move through New York; the more milk there is the more cream there will be for the port of New York to skim. "The same argument applies to a certain extent to New England. In any case the New England ports at the present time have very little to lose. Th“re would be the added advantage of the coastwise trade between New England ports and the ports on the Great Lakes to supply the present very Inadequate transportation facilities between New England and the West. "As to the Barge Canal, that very fine inland waterway can only be benefited. Statistics of many years show the Erls Canal traffic was only one-fourth through and three-fonrths local. Figured 19 five different ways, the Industries In the traversed by the Barge Canal should sup-

ply more traffic than the canal can carry. At present with 60 per cent of the new canal lh anew location almost the entire length the banks of the canal are unoccupied by any industries. These vacant sites wiil be ideal locations for future industries that will have the two transportation facilities of canal and railroad and In addition will have an abundance of cheap electrical power from the new St. Lawrence power development. The St. Lawrence will make the New York Barge Canal a success by bringing to its now vacant banks thriving industries with cheap power, cheap transportation and seaports at New York, Buffalo, Rochester and Oswego.” In touching upon the electrical power that would be generated as part of the project. Dr. McElwee said : "The market for the large amount of electrical power Is already the.re by connecting the present steam-eleetrleal-powerhouses with this new source of power. The range of the effectiveness of the three-quarters of a million horsepower, that will become available to the I'nlted States with the eompleion of the first dam, will extend to northern Pennsylvania, most of New England and perhaps even to New York City. There Is already on foot the Superpower Flan to oonnect and coordinate ail the power plonts in this area. With the nets of the existing steam plants and the additional dlsrlbutlng centers that could be quickly developed the market for the entire amount of the Initial dam already Is available to a large extent. The share of the United States in this power Is half again as much as the entire Niagara power development. The revenue from this power even from greatly reduced rates would make the entire project an excellent business proposition with iao transportation features a by-product. The advantages to Industries that will locate in this area, and the great necessity for conserving our dwindling coal supply that even at the present rate of consumption will be exhausted within a hundred years, makes the immediate conservation of the great energy dally running to waste down the St. Lawrence a national necessity as well as a good business proposition and a relief to the transportation difficulties o the great middle west.”

The finance committee held a long meeting Saturday afternoon going through the budget Item by item, but because of its length It was necessary to continue the work at a meting today. Even If the_ committee completes its work today 'it Is doubtful If the matter can be considered tonight It is believed a special meeting of the board will be called for Wednesday afternoon for the special purpose of taking, up the budget and mixing the tax levy.

T'hls Increase Is made necessary by the decreased tax valuation of Marlon County property, the Increases granted teachers and librarians In salary several mouths ago and tho constantly growing size of the school system In Indianapolis. One of the most important matters to be taken up at the meeting tonight will be the report of Bert S. Gadd, member of the board, and L. A. Snider, of the firm of Snider & Rota, engineers for the board, covering the results of their investigations into school building costs, types of construction used, etc., In a number of places In Indiana outside of Indianapolis. Buildings at Muncle, Evansville, Center Township of this county and Morocco were visited. During the recent hearings before the State board of tax commissioners on the proposed bond Issue of $847,000 for the erection of four new buildings and additions at various schools in the city, opponents of the bond issue frequently mentioned these schools visited by Mr. Gadd and Mr. Snider as examples of economy in school building construction and Insisted that comparative figures showed the local school board has been guilty of extravagi-noe in the erectloa of new buildings. Members and legal representatives of the board Insisted that until all facts were at hand figures of comparative costs were of no value: that in some

Neither Mr. Snider nor Mr. Gadd have been willing to give out tho matter covered by their report In advance of the meeting, but It is generally believed It will be a defense jof thelocal building program and will tend to show school buildings in Indianapolis have been bnllt as economically as elsewhere, when the lifference in specifications and conditions are taken into consideration.
