The announcement of the adoption of the shop representation p'.an followed the expiration today of the- Alschu'er agreement under which Federal Judge Samuel Aischuler was arbitrator es nil disputes betwoen the packers and iheir employes. The packers publicly had served notice that they would met renew this agreement, which they regarded as a war-time measure. Under the shop representation plan, all meu and women are eligible to work In the packing plants, whether members of • nnions or not; no person not an employe of the company may represent employes in the adjustment of grievances and employes elect their own representatives ly ballot. All representatives elected must be American citizens. It was announced by James G. Condon, attorney for the packers, that 50 per cent of the employes cf the plants involved had voted for adoption of the new plan. Condon also announced there would be no Immediate attempt to readjust wages or working conditions. Officials of the International Butcher Workers’ Union declined to comment upon the action of the packers. It is believed, however, the nnions will make a determined attempt to force a conference with the packers in an effort to preserve union influence in the packing plants.

POLITICS NOT IN POSTMASTERSHIP , AVERS MOORES Civil Service Picks Three Highest Men—and Then, *The Games On.’ Politics Is not going to have anything to do with the selection of a postmaster for Indianapolis—up to a certain point, and Merrill Moores, Congressman of the Seventh district, Is not going to have anything to do with the poatmasterahlp of Indianapolis—up to a certain point. Mr. Moores visited Mayor Charles W. Jewett and City Controller Robert H. Bryson at the city ball today. He said he was Just coiling on his city hall friend a Mr. Bryson is a candidate for the postmaster-ship. “The civil service commission is handling the examination of applicants for the postmastership, of whom I suppose there will be twenty-five or thirty.” said Mr. Moores. “They will pick the three highest qualified applicants. Politics has nothing to do with that. Neither have I. I haven’e told anybody that I want any applicant picked as one of the three highest and nobody has said anything to me about that. “I won't deny, however, that politics may enter Into it when the three highest applicants are known. It is right that politics shonld enter into it then.”

CAN’T ‘JITNEY’ CAR COMPANY, SAYS JAMESON (Continued From Pago One.) the company’s service and the citizens who depend upon it? is the question. “I want to put the company right before the public. The company is willing to do anythlugfi reasonable. Us whole attitude Is one of compliance with the board of public works' orders. But, we are not going to do anything unreasonable.” Dr. James did not specify what the company regards as unreasonable. T.e traction officials, however, never have expressed their willingness that there should be provision in the new contract for paving between tracks and coifc tinnance of the payment of the $!'0.000 annual franchise tar to the board of park commissioners. Dr. Jameson in his letter to the board of public works said that on Sept. 12, the directors discussed construction aud reconstruction of tracka, some of the most important of which are as follows: Delaware street from Washington street to Massachusetts avenue, Pennsylvania street from Forty-Third to Fifty-Second streets, Pennsylvania street from Maryland to Georgia streets, Washington street from Capitol avenue to Illinois street, Kentucky avenue from Maryland to Georgia streets. East Washington 6treet from East to Noble streets, Talbott avenue from Seventeenth to Nineteenth streets. West Michigan street from Goodlet to Tibbs avenues, Oliver avenue from River avenue to Birch street, South East street from Virginia avenue to Lincoln lane, South Meridian street from the Belt Railroad to Raymond street, Shelby street from the Belt Railroad to Southern avenue, Indiana avenue from Ohio etreet to a point west of New York street, Senate avenue from Thirty-Fourth street to Maple road and Senate avenue from Maple road to Forty-Third street ANXIOUS TO GET IVORS COMPLETED.

"All cf the officers and directors of the company expressed themselves as anxious that the work on these tracks should be commenced and carried through to com pletion at the earliest possible date, but in order to carry out this work, a very large amount of money must be provided. which the company is immediately eorfron.ed with the impossibility of se curing under the present existing conditions,” wrote Dr. Jameson. “We desire to state positively that while we will be unable to carry this work forward at this time, our inability to do so is in no spirit of non-compliance with the city’s demands. It is based wholly upon the utter impossibility of the company to do so on account of lack of revenues caused largely by jitney competition and impairment of temporary credit occasioned by failure of the city to afford just protection. "We -believe that If the company were relieved of the unfair and Injurious jitney competition which has so seriously affected Its revenues an-u credit during the present year, that we would be in position promptly to commence the work outlined above. "Th board of directors, therefore, Instructed that the attention of your honorable board should be called to the condition of affairs and to respectfully urge your cooperation with the other branches of the city government in securing the passage of an effective Jitney ordinance which will eliminate this unfair and injurious competition and place the company in a position to fully cooperate with the plans of the board of public works." WHAT MR. MILLER

WROTE IN REPLY. In reply, Mr. Mlllor stated : “At the last conference between the mayor, the corporation counsel, the board of public works and a committee of tho city council with the committee of the street car company It was stated that these representatives of the dty would be willing to meet with representatives of the street car cothpany at any time, day or night, with a view of solving the problem presented and it was stated by the representatives of the street car company that they wished to present to their board of directors the substance of tho conference. It was the understanding that they would advise a* when they were willing to resume negotiations. “Tbere-flore, the delay in a settlement of this question le occasioned by the failure of tho representatives of the street <nr company to advise us of their willingness to resume negotiations.’’

NEGRO CHARGED WITH PERJURY Three Others Indicted by Grand Jury. Vernon E. Hedgepnth, a negro, today was Indicted on a perjury chairs among four others returned by the Marlon County grand jury.

IRELAND WILL NEGOTIATE AS A FREE STATE (Continued From Pago One.) latest peace note which Premier Lloyd George had refused to accept until it is revised and modified. The Sinn Fein cabinet went into session at 11 o'clock at the Mansion House to discuss the situation. The Irish newspapers Intimate that a most serious hitch has occurred in the peace proceedings, but they refuse to comment editorially. The Sinn Fein chieftain refused to comment upon the new developments. They Intimated that the situation was so delicate they feared that they might complicate it still further by talking. There is much significance in the fact De Valera will not be a member of the Irish delegation if the Inverness peace conference is held as planned. Arthur Griffith, the chairman, and Michael Collins, commander-ln-chief of the Irish republican army, who were nominated by Dail Elreann as two of the members, are known as two of the most radical leaders among the Sinn Feiners. ULSTER UNIONISTS DENIED DELEGATES LONDON, Sept. 15.—The Ulster Unionlets ha.e requested representation at the proposed Irish peace conference at Inverness, but were refused by Premier Lloyd George, it was learned this afternoon. The refusal was based upon the premier's contention that the conference with the Sinn Felners is only a preliminary meeting and that later a general parley will be held when all Irish faction will be represented. The Dublin correspondent of A be Standard telegraphed a report that Eaiuonn De Valera had asked Premier Lloyd George whether Ulster would make concessions if the Sinn Fein peace envoys proclaimed allegiance to King George. Allegiance to the king was one of the conditions for the peace conference. Ulster has announced her refusal to come under Sinn Fein authority and the Sinn Fein is anxious to know if the premier is making any efforts to hsv the Ulsterites give ground in this connection.

HUGHES SENDS U. S. IDEAS ON ARMAMENTS (Continued From Page One.)

tween now and conference time proceed Both at tho Instigation of the Uu.ted States and of the other conference cations. Secretary Hughes invites counter suggestions In response to the general views of the United States. The interchange that will result Is eventually to form the basts of the agenda. There is no reason why such an interchange should not continue until the hour of the conference’s assembling and even afterward. The United States has not and does not Intend to have any hard and fast notions on the score of the agenda. Totlo dispatches reporting that Secretary Hughes has proposed in addition to limitation of military end naval armaments, an omnlbua discussion of Chlneee questions—open door, Chinese sovereignty, Manchuria, railways and so forth —could not be verified In Washington. Put it is everybody’s tecret that each subjects are the ones America wishes thrashed out at tb conference. They are the things America had in mind when President Harding proposed a conference on ’'Principles and policies in the Far East.” NO OBJECTION TO EARLY SETTLEMENT. If any of them can be nettled before the conference meet* —like the Shantung matter—America will not object, si though Secretary Hughes previously has pointed out that we should wish to examine auch Battlements to see that our concept of "principles and policies’ is vindicated. China It moving cautiously before committing herself on Japan's recent offer for the "restoration" of Shantung. The Pekin government ie sounding sentiment all over the republic about the Japanese offer. It will tnako no reply to Toklo, either by way of acceptance or rejection, until tho country has been heard from. The view prevails here that ( Ulna wishes Shantung settled tn Washington next winter and not this autumn in either Toklo or Pekin. There was only mild iutereet In Washington naval quarters over cables from Toklo reporting that Japan’s naval program for the Washington con'ereuco has been deddod upon, abolition of naval baec* tn the Pacific, reduction cf all fleets to tile strength of the weakest navy and protraction of building programs It la believed here that Tokio's plan of action for the conference Is not eo far edvsneed as to Justify the promulgation of so definite a list of proposals. VIEWS OF ONLY ONE GROUP.

The news, which is launched by tbs Tokio newspaper, Ashi Shlnabcn, is rather Interpreted as an expression of the views of one group of Intel vets. It is known here that there Is a widespread popular desire among the Japanase people for reduction of oppressive military and naval expenditures. There is belief, too, that the influential element In the Japanese government is working sincerely in the same direction. But the militarist die-hards are at work too. They are depleting the conference as a nefarious scheme to put Japan on trial for her life and exhausting every effort to have despatched to Washington a delegation* Instructed to stand boldly for Japan's “Inalienable rlghtß” and “appointed destiny” as the undisputed mistress of all Asia. —Copyright, 1921, Public Ledger Company. WORLD ARMAMENT FIGURES TABULATED WASHINGTON, Sopt. 15.—When the arms parley starts Nov. 11, the United States delegation will have at its command detailed and exact figures on the amounts spent for armß snd war supplies by all the major countries of the world. Secretory Mellon made it known today that these figures are available in the Treasury Department and are being tabulated at the request of the State Department. The State Department will turn them over to the American delegates for study. The United States has always made available to the world its official and un disguised reports on estimates, appropriations and expenditures from the United States Treasury. Reports received in exchange have many concealed items in them, or items that need explanation before they can be classified definitely. Some of the powers have given apparent Industrial subsidies which were nothing more or less than sums spent for arms and munitions.

No committee of financial advisors has been appointed for the United States delegation. Tho personnel, however, probaly will Include Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Gilbert, Assistant Secretary Wadsworth, who has handled the figures on American foreign loans and advances, and Albert Ilathbone, United States Treasury representative Ir. all of the financial settlements and conferences during and following the ’.var.

SAYS KANSAS PLAN WILL END LABOR STRIFE Governor Allen Tells of Operation of His Industrial Court.

CHICAGO, Sept. 15.—Governor Henry Allen of Kansas, in an Interview here, summarized the work of his industrial coart in eliminating strikes in his State and predicted that similar bodies in every State in the Union soon would bring industrial peace to America. He passed through Chicago on his way home from the East. "A year and a half ago,” the Governor declared, “the opponents of the Industrial court plan said that it would fail in Kansas. I have prepared figures which show the result of a year and half of the court’s activities. Os these the most startling is the fact that strikes in the coal fields, which before the court was established, averaged thirteen and onehalf a month, now do not occur at all. RECORD OF THIRTY CASES. “During t.iie time the rourt has operated, thirty cases have been brought before it. Os these, twenty-eight have been decided. Twenty-seven dec! slums have been acclaimed by both capital and labor as Just- Meanwhile, there has been industrial peace tn Kansas. "The court has had to meet three tests. “First, after a year of operation, those responsible for the court bad to go before the people. In every industrial center of the State, the people upheld the court. “Second, the State Supreme Court held th law constitutional. “Third, the law was shown to help production. Fewer miners produced more coal after the law than before and they were paid more for their work.” SAYS “SECRETARIES OF WAR” MAKE TROUBLE. Governor AiUm attributed much of the Industrial warfare of the country to what : he term* the “secretaries of war of ' labor ” “There are,” Governor Allen said. I "abouZ 150.000 men wor king lu the American Federation of Labor as war secretaries. They draw annually from t2>e slender purse of labor about $60,000,OU) In salaries. Their jobs dt-pend upon a perpetual slate of warfiare bctwo-cn capital and labor.”

LEWIS ASKS FOR MINGO INQUIRY Tells Harding Operators Fear Investigation. The action of the Senate Committee on Education and Labor in discontinuing l its Investigation of affaire In the West : Virginia cool fields will be taken by the mine workers of the country as a comI plet* surrender to the nonunion coal j operators, John L. Lewis, International president of the United Mine Workers of America, declared tn a telegram to President Warren G. Harding late yesterday afternoon. He declared in bis message that sinee the arrival of Federal troop* in West Virginia the mine workers have wanted the Committee on Education and Labor to reaum* its investigation. He declared h* was firmly convinced that the coal operator* fear disclosure of the real facts He said the mine workers are anxious to have only the truth developed. Continuing, Mr. Lewis told President j Harding it is a matter of common j knowledge that the Governments of the counties affected are in the hands of the coal operators, the mine guards and the Baldwin-Kelts detectives and the State government ha* broken down. In closing, Mr. Lew!* said: "In behalf of the @OO,OOO men who are members of the United Mine Workers of America, and who bitterly resect the wrongs inflicted upon our people in West Virginia. I urge a* their spokesman and as a citizen of our great Nation, that the influence of your high office be exercised to irsure a hearing of their claims."

Plan to Handle Big Crowd at Exposition Preparations for crowd of 200.000 people are being made by the ticket committee of the Indianapolis Industrial Exposition organization, of which William M. Taylor, preaident of Chandler & Taylor, was appointed chairman by O. B ll**. chairman of the manufacturers’ com mitt** of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce. “We expect to have to handle during the exposition week a larger crowd than has ever gone *o the State Fair. With the masses of people who will pass through the pat**, It fs absolutely important that we hare a very efficient system of handling the tickets," said Mr. Taylor. The staudard admission will be 80 cents to the exposition. A reduction for children. at least on children's day, which probably will be Tuesday, is expected to be made by th* manufacturers' com mtttee.

Powder Puff Now Has Place Among Crooks 9 'Weapons 9 TOLEDO, Sept. 15.—Men of the underworld have gone in for powder puffs, rouge and lipsticks. Sheriff Taylor, declared he found these “weapons” more frequently on men searched at the county jail, than he found guns, blackjacks and the deadlier sort. “You’d be surprised at the number of crooks who carry nose shine removers,” Sheriff Taylor said. “Some of the fel- i lows are desperate criminals. We’re j taken more powder puffs than guns from crooks that have been brought into the jaU. “Usually the man seems ashamed when the puff is pulled out of his pocket and laid on the desk. He always gives the alibi that It belongs to his girl.” The powder puff is considered a weapon by criminals in that it adds to | the daintiness of the man making folk i think he is not a crook. Sheriff Taylor explained. | PRESIDENT IS WITHOUT PLANS No Definite Scheme at Hand to Develop ‘Association of Nations.’ WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.—Preaident ! Harding and Secretary Hughes are without a definite plan to develop "association of nations” out of the forthcoming Wash- j ington disarmament and Pacific conference, according to information In au- . thoritatfve circle** today.
