CRIMES GO ON IN ARMENIA Plight in Marash Said to Be Worse. JCTCW YORK, Nov. 2.—Anti-Christian outbreaks over a -widespread area In Asia Minor were reported In two cablegrams received by the Near East Relief today. The first, from relief headquarters In Beirut, reports the situation In Marash, where last year twelve- thousand Armenians were massacred, to be worse than at any time since the massacre. The cable follows: "Latest reports from Marash indicate a situation worse than last year. New deportation is threatened and Christian population forced to do compulsory labor. Three thousand women and children dependent upon Near East Relief for full support and four, thousand more for clothing. We have been compelled to assume support of native orphanage In Diarbekir." The second cable, from the Greek Red Cross, announces that the situation has gotten beyond its control and appeals for aid. This cable reads: "Anguished appeal for help reaching us from Samsoun district of Asia Minor. Mr.rde", plundering, and deportation of Christian population is growing fiercer •very day. Our emmissaries cannot gain access. Coming of winter makes situation desperate. We are eonfldent of your generous action on behalf of suffering that the Near East Relief will once more save the surviving women and children and prevent their extermination.”

INDIANAPOLIS STRENGTH LIES IN DIVERSITIES . (Continued From I’age One.) ar<l Jobbing houses and the fact that this city has 1.000 salesmen on the read. The great amount of construction work Ik ascribed to the fact that Indianapolis has no labor troubles, although bare are the headquarters of various great union labor organisations. The picking and slaughtering people scy .there has been an Increase in their domestic business, but the export trade has been bad. The farmer has been hurt more by the decline in livestock ttan the packer, and he has good reason for complaint. Ho is getting pre-war prices for his products and is compelled to pay ■war taxes In addition to high prices for what ha requires. From the information the packers receive the agriculturists are •ouring on labor, declaring it hasn't come down, while the man of the soil has been brought down to his yarrow bone. SECOND LARGEST MARKET FOR SWINE. Indianapolis Is* the second largest hog center of America. Hogs hare not suffered so much decline as cattle and sheep, so this city is somewhat better off than other packing house districts. Bankers say the automobile business here has been nard hit. Its production now Is only 20 per cent of normal. The revival la the spring did not hold. "But.” said one banker, “you can't keep the automobile down. It is subject to wide swings and sudden changes. Every one in the Industry is hopeful of recovs.-j in the spring.” As to th" financial situation locally they say “we have liquidated 50 per cent of our loans with the Feder.il Reserve. All but one bank la rediscounting with the Federal Reserve and country banks have suffered a 50 per cent slump in deposits. The decline in city bank deposits has been considerably less. There is some borrowing to pay Federal and States tares. Conditions sre better than they wore some time back. The metal trade* felt the depression as greatly as did any in this territory. They are reviving. Onr strength here is In our great diversity of industries. Some branches of manufacture are very active and find use for workers laid off in lines that are suffering from depression.” COMPLAINT OF RAIL PRESIDENT. i he president of one of the railroads with head offices !n Indianapolis says: “Railroads are being criticised unjustly.

We Believe in Indianapolis Heavy Hauling and Highway Transport There are in use in the city of Indianapolis each day 2,870 vehicles engaged in hauling and delivering. More than one hundred Indianapolis firms have been established for the sole purpose of handling the hauling of commercial institutions and private individuals. It is not unusual for these trucks to undertake hauls of 80 miles or more. These firms have an annual income of over $5,400,000 a year, earned solely as pay for hauling the wares of others. Among the records held by Indianapolis in the field of hauling and highway transport is that won by the fleet of motor trucks serving the Indianapolis Stock Yards by hauling 6,500 hogs with a value of $200,000, to the yards in a single day. This was 2,000 more head than brought in by steam and interurban lines. Fletcher American National Bank * of INDIANAPOLIS Capital and Surplus. $3,000,000.

Until th. wag* rat* la corrected th# railroad can do nothing. Th* Government la doing to us what would not ba tolerated in private business. Take my case, for example. Where the Government took over the property It even took 1450,000 we had in a bank. We cannot get that money from the Government. We cannot apply it for taxes or anything. We cannot apply It to any account. The Government simply tells ug to go to Halifax or some other place. It’s so with everything the Government owes to us. Ws are*hogtled in a thousand ways and in no ways more than in money and wages. We no opportunity to bring our property back to normal. I have 1,000 cars that are in urgent need of repair but cannot get the money to repair them. I need 300 men today but cannot afford to hire them. More than 25 per cent of the freight cars in America are in bad order. If we ha# a sudden revival of business we wouldn't have the cars to handle the traffic. We have no control of the wages we pay. Wages used to make up 00 per cent of our total bill of expense. Now It is 80. You ask us to reduce freight and passenger rates. Give opportunity to ua to do and we will welcome lower rates. But they cannot come down without labor costs coming down. p "The whole railroad situation is absurd. We are regulated to death. The Interstate Commerce Commission prescribes the rates for freight and passenger traffic and the railroad labor board tells ua what wages we must pay. And the Government hasn't settled with us for the use of our lines In the war period, nor has it returned to us the money it took from us. Added to this, the public expects us to operate our properties in first-class condition, despite deterioration which —we have great difficulty In checking. This is a free 'country in name, but the railroad official is a bondsman. "Also he is the national goat. I, for

one, am alck and tired of it There has been nothing but political coddling of railroad labor for six years -or more and political kicking of railroad owners and operators. Give us a square deal. We haven't had It. We mußt have it or the railroads cannot serve the publlo as they should. First of all, make the Government pay its debts.

Lew Shank may be a good husband, but he Weis a bad mayor. The failure of his police department to protect life and property during the street car riots in November, 1913, was directly Shank’s fault. Thirty-one patrolmen were tried by the Board of Safety, charged with insubordination for refusing to obey orders of their superiors, and the disgraced officers blamed Shank. Concerning Shank’s responsibility for the disloyal action of the policemen, The Indianapolis Star said in an editorial November 25, 1913: % 9

“Not upon the thirty-one policemen, not upon Superintendent Hyland, not upon the members of the board of public safety, but upon Mayor Shank does the issue of the insubordination trial hang. “In the strong proof of conflicting orders in the car strike, with the mayor telling the policemen one thing and telling Superintendent Hyland and Mr. Davis another, the resignation of these gentlemen was inevitable and as Mr. Davis so cogently says: ‘The merits of the said car controversy were negligible/ What is to become of the law and order in a crisis with the mayor playing a dual role? The confusion that existed in the police department while the strike lasted was due, accord ng to proof at the trial, to the interference of the mayor. Shank disclaimed having exerted any official authority. What he said to discount the orders of the superintendent of police, he now declares was said as his private opinion and not as a declaration of a superior officer to the policemen. “But the men were unable to differentiate Shank the man and Shank the mayor and Shank has encouraged them. This is the evidence of a course defiant, to the superintendent and his lieutenants. More important than the present instance is the question, Does Indianapolis want order? Is Indianapolis to have it? And in another crisis is the city to have a mayor playing a shifty double role, or is that mayor to be a man who will take one stand and keep it?”

No, Indianapolis does not want “a mayor playing a shifty double roir in another crisis. Boyd M. Ralston as mayor will “be a man who will take a stand and keep it.”

some losses as they have not been able to adjust overhead to the smaller margin of profit. They complain of unjust freight rates. For example: The freight on lettuce from California will figure close to 5 cents a head and the lettuce will sell retail for 10 or 15 cents, while the freight on a pair of shoes that retails for $lO will be the same—so cents. Wholesale dr*- goods men report as big a business in yards of goods as last year, but considerably less in dollars. They had no profit in the first six months of this year, but now are doing quite well and expect to have a profit on the total of the twelve months. But their overhead bothers them. Retailers, they say, are very aggressive and are succeeding in turning over ’merchandise faster than ever before. There is a hint, however, that re-

tailers are finding It a little harder to sell goods, the puhile being a bit resentful of the recent advanoe In cottons. There Is general aceptance of the belief that purchasers are far more discriminating than ever before. Reports of pronounced scarcity In various kinds of desirable textile goods are many. Distributors say this Is because retailers delay in placing orders, being unwilling to order until stocks are nearly exhausted. On the other hand manufacturers will not make goods except on order. Between the two there Is developing an artificial shortage that may create a false market, false prices and trouble to tue trade. As in other cities, the authorities here say, the Government figures on unemployment are much too high.
