SAYS BIG STEEL FIRM IS ENEMY TO LAB S OR PEACE New York Attorney Asserts Corporation Plans to Kill Unions. COAL STRIKE INTERESTS WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.—The United States Steel Corporation was charged today with being the "greatest enemy to industrial peace in this country,’’ by Samuel Untermeyer, New York attorney, before the Senate committee investigating the civil warfare between the operators and miners in the West Virginia coal fields. Untermeyer said he understood the Steel Corporation is "enormously interested” in the West Virginia mine fields. The continued disorders in West Virginia are “only a local manifestation of national industrial unrest,” Untermeyer said. Untermeyer' declared that one of the chief aims of the steel corporation and Its allied interests is to stamp out the union or closed shop and "collective bargaining.” He admitted that despite the years he had devoted to studying industrial probhe had “discovered no panacea for the ills of capital and labor. “But if the United States Steel Conjuration could be eliminated there would "be industrial peace in this couutry within six months,” Untermeyer added. ..‘‘Popular representative government has been extinguished in Mingo, Logan and McDowell Counties, West Virgin.a, by the coal operators, who have ‘even seized the courts and the election ma-‘ chlnerv,’ according to the testimony of H. W. Houston, a Charleston (W. Va.) attorney, who preceded Untermeyer. Houston, one of counsel for the union miners, said he war afraid to go into Logan County because of the threats made against his life. "The United States Steel Corporation, with all its ramifications, has now grown ■o large and so monstrous that it literally Is above the law,” declared Untermeyer. * Untermeyer upheld the right of collective bargaining on the part of the working class and advocated a system of Federal licensing for corporations, the granting of a license to be conditional of the recognition of the principle of collective bargaining by the corporation. COUP OF FORMER EMPEROR FAILS WITH CAPTURE Great Powers May Decide to Banish Him From Europe.

BERLIN, Oct. 25.—Former Emperor Charles and his wife, ex-Empress Zita, are prisoners In their own country today, following the lgnominoua collapse of the restorationlst adventure In Huugary, and the allied powers are now debating their j future fate. Thus has ended the boldest royalist coup of modern times, after a campaign ; of less than seventy-two hours during which all of central Europe trembled ■ under the menace of anew war scare. The ex-imperial pair, who were cap- j tured at Komorn by Regent Admiral \ Horthy’s nationalist troops, are under heavy guard and tbelr escape Is impos alble, said dispatches from Budapest. They' probably will be kept at Komorn until tbe great powers decide upon a futnre asylum. Charles may be banished from Europe entirely to prevent further trouble making in the old dual monarchy. Like Napoleon, he may be Interned In some isolated spot far from his native land. FORMER EMPRESS WANTS CHILDREN. Former Empress Zita is reported to have asked permission to go to Switzerland to get her children. She has promised to accept without question any fate the allies may impose upon her if her children are at her side. She may elect to accompany her husband if the allies agree. The former empress generally is regarded as the moving spirit in the illfated exploit which carried the couple from their Swiss exile by air across Europe almost within sight of the citadel of Budapest, fanning afresh the dying flame of monarchists all along the old royalist front. The audacious flight of the Hapsburgs and their little army beneath the old Imperial double eagle was brought to a dramatic close at a moment when their hearts were beating feverishly at the thought of a jubilant nation hailing them back to the throne of St. Stephen. COP CAUSED NEW THREAT OF WAR. The heavy pressure brought by the allied powers upon the Budapest government convinced the Horthy cabinet that It must act decisively to save the country. If Charles had remained uncaptured another twenty-four hours it is likely that Czecho-Slovakian and Jugo-Slav troops would have been pouring across the Hungarion frontiers find again the guns would be thundering along the Danube In anew ,war. It was the second time that Charles had seen his dream of Hapsbnrg restoration In Hungary shattered. Now he must "sign on the dotted line,” definitely re nouncing the crown himself and for his 6-year-old son, Olio, who had kept religiously behind sealed lips the news of the flight of his mother and father. SEEK MEASURE TO STOP POLLUTION Fish and Game Authorities Interested in Appleby Bill. Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia public Ledger. WASHINGTON, Oct. 25—Representatives of fire underwriters, fish and game protective associations and health authorities were to appear before the House Committee on ''Rivers and Harbors today to urge immediate report on the Appleby bill, a measure which would make it unlawful for craft to discharge oil or refuse Into navigable waters in the United States. It would also prohibit refuse being deposited into navigable waters or their tributaries from mills c h wharves. The bill was introduced by Representative Appleby of New Jersey, June 24. and has slumbered in the committee since then. Most of the witnesses to appear for the bill are from New Jersey. Interest in the passage of the measure is widespread, however, among fire insi ranee, health and fishing men, who coutend dumping of oil and refuse Into streams pollutes them and increases the fire hazard on the shipping and the piers,—Copyright, 1621, by Public Ledger Company. HOUSES TO HATE PARLORS. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., 0ct..25.—N0 more working class houses without parlors are to be erected by the Birmingham housing commi'tee. The better class argued against the parlor because it is seldom seed, but the working class Insisted, and the committee heeded their protest.

CHICAGO, Oct. 25 Flashing of a movie star’s name in electric lights along Broadway will not be the acid test of screen success in the future, if the small town picture show proprietors of the Nation have their way about it.

Buck in the pioneer days the matter of building a home was comparatively simple because man's tastes were simple and his needs correspondingly few. But today, who would be content to live as our forefathers lived? We demand in a home all the conveniences and labor-saving devices to which modern standards of living have accustomed us. One of the chief requirements is GAS. A city which could not assure Its citizens modern home conveniences could not hold its own in competition with other cities. In the present day large numbers of people w r ould simply refuse to live In such a place, regardless of Its other advantages. The remarkable growth of Indianapolis, ttmn, indicates that its utilities have served it well in extending modern convenlencs to its homes. Andjis the city of Indianapolis grows, so must the Citizens Gas Company. The modern home MUST be equipped with gas for cooking and other purposes. Each new subdivision demands gas main extensions, and each new home demands gas service. So, also, many industries can not exist without gas; and the growth of the city’s industries means increased demand for gas. NEW CAPITAL CONSTANTLY DEMANDED # In 1920 the Gas Company invested neariv $220,000 in extending its distribution system alone. The new investment in mains, ervlces and meters this year will be about SIOO,OOO, and yet there are demands from ah quarters for more rapid extensions of this service, which is absolutely essential for the comfort and growth of this community of 325,000 people. It is afi le thing to secure an income on your savings. It is a still finer thing to make your oavings serve your own town when your savings can thereby earn you a handsome return at the same time. As little as $lO a mouth saved and invested in our 7% Cumulative Preferred Stock will make you aTprofit-sharing partner in this essential industry.

Lieber of Indianapolis, president of the organization which comprises 3,500 picture theater owners, said there is some prospect that tire admission In jnovle theaters may be reduced, but that the nickel show Is not lively ever to return; that the movie vamp is dead and that the tendency now Is toward human Interest and homo stories; that motion pleture men figure tbe Arbuckle case cost them millions of and that In the future screeu performers will have to understand that their

moral character Is as essenMal to success as artistic ability. The movie business, h predicted, will pick up; in fact between 600 and I.UOO new theaters to cost between $50,000,W0 and *100,000,000 are being erected tnroughout the country. Rates Reduced in Four Taxing Units The rates of four additional taxing units were reduced by the State board of tax commissioners today and In a fifth appealed case no change was made. The reductions were: Moral township, Shelby County, from 58 cents to 48 cents; Adams County, from 54 cents to 45 cents; Washington township, Adams County, from 39 cents to 37 cents; City of Decatur, from $1.03 to 60 rents. The rate for the city of Anderson will remain unchanged at $1.03.

INCOMES OF 16 GREAT GROUPS ARE COMPARED (Continued From Page One.) sfielter for a lower cost than other workers or give up one-half of his total earnings for e necessity. In less i an one day a *5 pair of shoes may be earned by tbe coal miner, who then has all that hs earns for the remainder of the week for food, recreation and other necessities. The cigarmaker, however, must work nearly two' days to get his pair of shoes, as must the cotton mill operative. Assuming that food costs the family of the worker at least sl2 a week, the worker in the men's clothing industry may provide this necessary for his family with an expenditure of about half the effort that Is required of the worker In the cotton man ufacturing mBl. The average worker lu the automobile shop wants his children to have a better education than himself. Yet the teacher who trains bis children must labor more than twelve days to earn v suit of clothing or a gowu at S4O, while the auto worker himself is able to win the same necessity lu but 7.6 days of labor. The njito worker need spend little tlms to train for his profession. He receives pay as an apprentice during his period of six months’ training. The elementary school teacher, however, must spend hta or her entire life up to nearly twenty In training for a position. FARM WAGES DROP NEARLY 100 PER CENT. , Wages of more than 6,000,000 farm laborers have been reduced by nearly 100 per cent since the harvest of 1920. The return of the farmer for his products in many cases has been forced down to prewar levels. The average farm laborer now earns less than the hosiery manufacturing worker. Because of the high wages paid in many lines of industry, however, the rural worker Is unable to purchase the supplies and necessities he needs In the volume of former times. The rural or agricultural population furnishes 40 per cent of the Nation's entire purchasing power according to findings of *he nalibnal conference ou unemployment. This Explains the closing of many shops and factories In the big citlea. It explains why 3.000,000 workers, mostly In the cities, are without Jobs. There is a great disproportion between the earnings of the different groups of work ers. The farm worker cau not buy the products turned out by the worker in tb? mills manufacturing leather. The leather worker finds men's clothing is costing him a too large proportion of his entire earnings and therefore he buys sparing ly Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company. PEACE RUMOR STIRS CHIEFS IN RAIL TIE-UP (Continued From Page One.) today. At the same time. W. (4. Lee, president of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, made public a resolution passed Oct. 20, by the ladles auxiliary of that organization declaring the wives.

Stone, grand chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, ended shortly before noon. "Things look good,” declared T. C. Cashen, president of the Switchmen’s Union of North America, when he came out, and added significantly: “The telegraph companies certainly are getting a nice thing out of this.” This wns accepted as indirect confirmation of reports <\t telegraphic aril telephonic negotiations with the Kail•way Labor Board. Cashen also emphasized that the questions of maintaining working conditions it had taken the union thirty years to build up wo'uld be the big issue in a settlement. TRAFFIC NORMAL BY SATURDAY ON I. & G. N. HOUSTON, Texas, Oct. 25—Traffic, both freight and passenger, will be normal on the International & Great Northern Railroad by Saturday, It was announced today by E. G. Goforth, general traffic manager of the road. Traffic was reported practically at a standstill on all the International lines by strike leaders. • This was denied by rati officials Regular passenger service has continued some freight crews are working on the line today,. The service will be added to daily, until Saturday, when all regular schedules will be carried out, Goforth said. Five new crews were to be put to work today, he said. EXECUTIVES READY FOR CONFERENCE CHICAGO, Oct. 25.—Railroad executives met here today to prepare for the conference tomorrow with the chiefs and general chairmen of the five big brotherhoods before the United States Railroad Labor Board. As the executives went into session the railroad board made an eleventh hour study of the railroad crisis and drew up final plans designed to avert the strike called by the brotherhoods for Sunday morning.

discussion of the situation. Bome minor union officials met here, but most of the preparation of employes for tomorrow’s session whs done by the brotherhood heads in Cleveland. Chairman R. M. Barton of the labor board served notice upon union leaders that all executive officers and general chairmen of the unions involved In tba dispute must appear at tomorrow's hearing. Replying to telegrams received from W. G. Lee of the Railway Trainmen, W. S. Carter of the firemen and enginemen and other various general chairmen throughout the country, the board stated positively all of those summoned must be present in person. It has been reported here some of the brotherhood chiefs had informed the general chairmen they would not need to come to Chicago. The board directed the brotherhood chiefs to withdraw any instructions of this sort. The strike conference tomorrow is to be held In tbe Coliseum Annex and will be open to the public. This hall was chosen because the offices of the railroad board would not accommodate the sixteen hundred railroad executives and union leaders who have been ordered to participate. It is expected the railroad board will request the carriers to refrain, for the present, from demanding a slash in pay of rail workers. The men it Is anticipated, will be requested to rescind their Oct. 30 strike order. The board believes the strike will be called off after the session which may last for several days. This Is what the board had in mind, according to best Information, when it summoned the general chairman of the brotherhoods, whoss sanction is necessary to call off the strike. Sessions of the chairman of the railroad department of the American Federation of Labor—whose 1,400,000 members refused to join the 400.000 members of the brotherhoods In the strike—are over. Just a few of the American Federation of- Labor leaders stayed oVvT to watch the result of the railroad hoard conference. The railroad board had not received any answer to its demands that strikers on the International & Great Northern Railroad of Texas return to work. The strike started on this road last Saturday as a "warning” of the Sunday strike. Reports received heer indicate there is no serious tie-up of traffic on the small carrier.

CHARGE LAHR USED POWER OF GOVERNOR (Continued From Page One.) ought not to take action based on this parol* by Judge Lahr.” Tbe board recommended In this case that no clemency be shown and the record shows the Governor acted on th* recommendation. GALLAGHER CASE CITED. Th© gecocd case referred to by th# pardon board Is that of Leßoy Gallagher, who was sentenced April 13, 1921, for contributing to the delinquency of a IT-year-old girl. He was sentenced to serve 180 days at the State farm and to pay a fine of SSO and costs. The board has this to say In commenting on the case: “This is one of the many cases coming from the Marion Juvenile court where the Judge of that court Imposes the heaviest penalty provided by law but does not intend at the time of passing sentence that the full sentence shall bs served. We have that from Mrs. Runksl, chief probation officer of the Marion Juvenile court, who advised us upon hearing the petition had been filed with ns, that she had intended bringing to the attention of our board and that Judge Lahr thought that this young man had been sufficiently punished. We are not in sympathy with this method of dispensing Justice where the Judge has no Intention that the prisoner shall serve the sentence Imposed by him and has a mental reservation when giving such sentence that in a few months’ time he will recommend to Your Excellency through this board that clemency be granted. However, as long as Judge Lahr continues in these methods we presume we will have to continue to deal with these cases on their merits.” The board recommended that the $506 fine be remitted and the Governor acted on the recommendation of the board.
