PAY OF 40,000 EMPLOYES TO BE OUT BY PACKERS Wage Reduction of 10 Per Cent Agreed to After Conferences. CHICAGO, Nov. 10.—Wage reductions averaging 10 per cent will be put Into effect In the packing plants of -Armour & Cos., Swift & Cos. and Wilson & Cos. on Nov. 28, through an agreement reached at a series of conferences here between officials of the companies and their employes. Approximately 40,000 employes wiU be affected. It is expected action will be taken by other large packing plants in the near future and that ultimately the wage cuts will effect 125,000 employes. The decision to accept the wage cuts was reached after conferences held under the “shop representation plan” recently adopted by the packing plants. The various labor unions having membership of stockyards workers were not represented as organizations. It is expected that labor unions will refuse to accept the wage cuts and the possibility of a strike is not discounted. Never before in the history cf the packing industry have the employes voluntarily agreed to a wage reduction. The decision was reached after officials of the company had submitted statistics i showing the financial condition of the business. The decision to cut wages will not affect the rules governing overtime and working conditions now in effect in the packing plants.

JOB HUNTERS TRAIL SHANK TO TRAIN SHEDS (Continued From Page One.) a Sixth ward Republican worker. The license clerk’s salary is $1,500, TO REDUCE PAINTERS AT CITY HOSPITAL. Mr. Shank said that he had a confer- I ence with his appointees for members of the board of public health last evening and told them he was eavlng the opera- ; tlon of the city hospital entirely in their hands. “I don't want to have to bother with that, and I trust my board to do it,” he said. “However, there’s one thing I’m going to stop out there. They tell me that St. Vincent’s Hospital hires one painter and at the city hospital they've got eight painters and one foreman. Why should they have nine times as many painters at the city hospital?” In Mr. Shank’s morning mall were approximately twenty-five letters from people who approve of his stand upon the , plain, he said. ”1 also have received ten or more letters approving my plan to get rid of Lucius B. Swift, chairman of the board of sanitary commissioners,” he said. “One fellow wrote me that he thought we ought ; to ship old Swift over to England and let j him be the King’s sanitary commissioner.” “It was all right for the Job-seekers to follow me to the Union Station,” Shank said, “but say, the bird who trails me clear to Hot Springs need not expect a Job. I’m going down there for a rest and I won’t see anybody on i anything. I'm going down there for a rest, I tell you. So they'd better keep away from me.” NEW APPOINTEES EXPECTED TO BE BUSY. While he is absent the appointee* upon the board of public works and j John L. Elliott, appointee for city civil I engineer, will be expected to push plans for the various proposed In provement projects so work may be started on that soon after the new administration takes office, Mr. Shank said. E said he has figured It out that only about fifteen policewomen, instead of the twenty-five now In the department, will be needed. “We’re going to stop this thing of as- ! signing policewomen to dances. If they have to have matrons at these dances let the proprietors pay for them. Let them pay for their own cops. But, listen, that doesn't mean that they're going to get by with had dances. I'll hold the po- | liceman on the district responsible and If we get any reports of Improper dances i we’ll dose the place np. The managers of those places are going to be held re- j sponsible, too.” BODY NAMED TO REROUTE STREET CARS. After he had named a committee to investigate and recommend changes In the rules for downtown auto parking yesterday, Mr. Shank named another body of business men and Shank appointees to work out a scheme for rerouting of street cars. He changed the auto.-park-ing committee slightly from its original membership, the members finally appointed being: Frank R. Wolf of H. P. Wasson & Cos., Clarence Baker of Baker Brothers, Bert Goldberg, West Washington street clothier; Walter W. Wise, city councilman-elect; M. E. Noblett, secretary of the Hoosler Motor Club; John J. O’Brien, appointee for fire chief; Herman F. Rikhoff, appointee for chief of police, and Edward O. Sourbler, appointee for member of the board of public safety. The street car re-routing committee has Frederic M. Ayres, of L. S. Ayres & Cos. as chairman and members as follows: Eli Schloss of Schloss Brothers Company; James P. Tretton, superintendent of the Indianapolis Street Railway Company; William H. Freeman, appointee for the board of public works; Lloyd D. Claycombe, city counci 1 man-elect; John N. Feasey of the Pettis Dry Goods Company; Bert Essex, realtor; David E. Matthews, chief engineer for the public service commission, and Jubu Smith, business agent for the stage hands union. Officials of the street railway conferred briefly with Mr. Shank upon re-routing last Friday afternoon. HOPE TO SAVE ROAD. John W. McCardle, chairman of ths public service commission, and George Barnard, a member of the commission, are In Washington to see the Interstate Commerce Commission concerning the proposed abandonment of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois Railroad running from Brazil to the north part of the State. The company is proposing to abandon tho road because of lack of finances, but the commission holds it is necessary to a number of towns along the route and should be saved If possible. REPORTS LOSS OF S9OO RING. Ora Dooley, 572 South Meridian street, reported to the police this morning that a diamond ring valued at S9OO had been stolen from him last night. He said, according to the police, that he and two other men were In a room when his ring had been taken. Detectives are investigating the case. RITTER HEADS DE TACIT COUNCIL. At an enthusiastic meeting of the De Pauw Athletic Council of 100 members at the Chamber of Commerce last night Dwight S. Ritter was elected president for the coming year to succeed Eugene Shireman of Martinsville. Fred Likely was elected vice president; S. K. Ruick, secretary, and Nell Grider, treasurer.

JAPANESE NAVY LAUNCHES HUGE DREADNAUGHT Thousands Clamor While Big Fighter Glides Into Sea. Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. TOKIO, Nov. 19.—While a crowd estimated at 100.000 shouted Banzai, Japan’s j great superdreadnaught Kaga, the largS est fighting ship of her typo now afloat, ! took the water at Kawasaki dock yard, Kobe yesterday. While the delegates at Washington are dis-ussing a plan calling for tho scrapping of this 40,000-ton warship it was noteworthy that no mention of the Washington conference or the possibility that the Kaga never would be completed was made by any of the half dozen speakers at the banquet celebrating the launching. Admiral Prince Fushlml attended the launching as the personal representative of the Emperor. In a speech proposing a toast to the navy yard, the managing director of the Kawasaki dock yard. Yamamoto, said “The Kaga would be a safeguard for world peace.” The function was attended by virtually all the naval attaches of the Toklo embassies and legations. The tone of the press and official discussions of the Hughes plans shows a strong objection to scrapping not only the Mutsu but also to the Kaga and h’ - .- sister ship, the Tosa, which still Is a year from completion.—Copyright, 1221 by Public Ledger Company.

RIVER REACHES HIGH STAGE AT VINCENNES VINCENNES, Ind., Nov. 19—The Wabash, White and Ambraw Rivers wer rising rapidly today owing to the almost continuous rains of the last four days. Total rainfall here has been almost four inches. The Wabash rose over a foot last night and the stage this morning was 9.3 feet. There is no fear of a flood danger here however, because levees protect the farm lands. The rains here have been like spring showers with much thunder and lightning. Some damage has been done by lightning. RIVERS OVERFLOW BANKS AT DECATUR DECATUR, Ind.. Nov. 19—The waters of the St. Marys and Wabash Rivers in Adams County rose steadily during the tffght and today. There is no fear, however. of a recurrence of the 1913 flood. Both rivers have overflowed into the lowlands and following incessant rains the ground Is pretty well soaked. Unless the rain continues there is net much danger of serious damage. WHITE RIVER RISES IN SOUTHERN INDIANA Special to The Times. WASHINGTON, Ind., Nov. 19.—White River rose five feet at the Maysvllle pumping station last night and was twothirds bank full today. No serious overflow is expected, however, unless a flood of water comes down from central Indiana or there are continued rains. The east fork of White River also is rising rapidly and nearly bank full. Much bottom com would bo endangered by an overflow. WABASH RIX’ER HIGn AT LAFAYETTE. LAFAYETTE, Ind., Nov. 19.—Reports from the Purdue experiment station show that four and one-half inches of ra’n has fallen during the last three days. The Wabash Rive?, In many places Is within six inches of the top of its banks. The lowlands of this vicinity are flooded. Small streams are now raging torrents, pouring hundreds of barrels of water into the Wabash. The river has been rising steadily for the past forty-eight hours. If the rain does not cease falling soon the river will be out of Its banks on the west side of the city.

One Little Pint Turned Into Two—Arrests Making little pint “white mnlettes" out of one gallon “white mule" got Leonard Shepard, 007 East Court street, Into trouble with the police today along with one of his customers, Leonard Sllcox, 121 South Liberty street. Police officers noticed Sllcox conducting himself In n suspicious manner on the streets and they searched him, bringing to light a neat little pint bottle of "mule.” Sllcox under questioning admitted he had purchased It from Shepard. The police then went to Shepard's house, where they found a gallon of the highly popular but forbidden beverage. Police officers say Shepard admitted that he had made the sale. Fine Stayer Asked ti Settle With State Judgments totaling nearly SSOO today were asked In a thirteen-paragraph complaint by Prosecutor William P. Evans which was Hied In the Circuit Court against Henry Winkler, alias H. Winkler, who has staved numerous fines and costs for defendants In the city court.

OFFENDERS GET JUDGMENT IN LOWERCOURT Burzo and Parsons Reach End of Attempts to Evade Sentence. Efforts of Mike Burzo, convicted in the city court on Sept. 11, 1920 for operating a blind tiger and Herry Parsons, former garage owner, who was convicted in tho Criminal Court on a charge of receiving stolen automobiles and acting as the “fence” for John Blackwell and Orlando Horton, convicted auto thieves, to escape serving their sentences in penal institutions ceased today when Judge James A. Collins of the Criminal Court placed both defendants in the custody of the sheriff. The action was taken following confiirmailon of both sentences by the Indiana State Supreme Court. Burzo was fined SIOO and sentenced to serve sixty days on the Indiana State Farm by Judge Collins on Sept 21,1920, in the Criminal Court on an indictment charging receiving stolen goods fx-om one to fourteen years at the Indiana State Reformatory. Both men have taken every advantage of the law in an attempt to escape serving their sentences. Prosecutor William P. Evans flatly refused to consent to any extension of time being granted to Parsons. The court then ordered both placed in the custody of Sheriff George Snider, who took them to Jail shortly before noon preparatory to taking them to penal Institutions.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1921.

Delegates at Conference, With Varied Traits, Are Source of Much Interest

Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. By RAYMOND G. CARROLL. WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.—At the Paris peace conference the various delegations were scattered all over the French, capital. They were installed in many separate buildings mid former palaces. It was diplomacy conducted In an atmosphere of ancient tapestries old masters, beaucoup vin and plenty of—speaking frankj ly—plain dirt. The very walls exuded memories of past intrigue and international double dealing. I have spent as much as a hundred francs for taxicabs in making the rounds, and considered myself lucky at a day’s end. How very different are the housing conditions at the Washington conference. Under one roof, the offices are models of American simplicity. They can well be | described as the abodo of paint, Ice ; water, telephones, typewriters, flat-top I oak desks and scrupulous cleanliness. I Those new offices breathe the spirit of a j fresh start in world affairs, anew beginning in understanding between nations. NEW NAVY BUILDING QUARTERS NATIONS. The new Navy building In Seventeenth street is where all of tho representatives of the nine nations are officially quartered. Commander H. I). Ronzer, superintendent of structure, laid out the offices of the foreign delegates, which, with quarters of the Americans, take up two entire wings. Ojio can walk from country to country without opening a door, and if there is a curiosity as to the secret committee meeting acrosex B street in the Pan-American Union building, all that Is necessary is to pass into tho press reception room on the front side of the building and watch the park of motor cars around the white marble structure. If anything, too much has been dene in rnnking perfect surroundings for perfection after all edges up the nerves. As yet some of the foreign delegations have not availed themselves of their pro- | pared quarters, each of which has the name of the country painted on the office doors with little wings bearing the same Information projecting Into the corridors. But they will doubtless move in, once they realize the advantages provided. It has been said of the British that wherever they go they take something of tho tight little Island with them. Ilero at the conference they are living at tho notel La Fayette, n high class hotel located in a district suggestive of Mayfair, the bon ton section of London Lloyd George, on arrival, will be Installed iu a private home, that of Mrs. Gurnee Mima, In a region that hints Park lane. The venerable and courtly Arthur J. Balfour Is quartered in a furnished apartment, a near neighbor of his old friend, Ellhu Root, the Doyen of American statecraft, ENGLISH GIRI.S SERVE BRITISH DELEGATES TEA. I But the British unofficially transact their business from tho Franklin Square | Hotel (formerly tho Irish named Corh- : raue Hotel), In a part of Washington : that Imitates the Strand neighborhood [of London, flavored with Its atmosphere |of trade. Here they have fifty or more 'rooms, the eutlre second floor, and the event of the day Is at tea time, when ten English girls. Imported with the delegation, circulate with tea and buns, prepared nnd served In the regulation British fashion. Now the French are different. They show their racial characteristics of eronioniy by blending business with pleas- [ ure. Crowded together upon the seventh \ floor of tho New Willard, many of the j rooms used for business by day at night become sleeping quarters. One of their I most ardent friends whispered the In. [formation that they have stored away ! 1(15 eases of the finest wines, Its posses- \ slon a courtesy extended by the United States cf America, but wo who have been watching the big men of the French delegation at lunch and dinner have failed ito see nny evidence of It displayed on their tables. Following the tactful example sot by Marshal Foch, the French to nil np pearances have bowed to the dictum of Mother Prohibition. I rather think the attraction of tlie seventh floor is centered In the exceedingly pretty young who flit aroun l It. Many of the Frenchmen finvu brought over their wives, Madame Rene Vlviant, charming and vivacious nnd others. BRIAND TRIES OI T NEW WORDS. Premier Brlund, a bnehelor, goes about In non-dress attire and is as easy of approach as a Breton peasant. He is delving rapidly Into the English language and likes to try out his new words at the cigar stand In the lobby nnd on tho waiters, many of whom, -speak It softly, are of Teutonic birth. It suits a Frenchman to be served by a German. The Japanese are scattered all over Washington. It would be difficult to name a hotel where you do not find them. So much so Is this tho case that they have teen referred to ns “the eye” of the conference. The men of Nippon, If caught nnd pinned down, doubtless would say they considered the Shorehain ns their chief center of radiation. On the mailbox In that hotel yesterday was a printed enrd reading, “Next mall for Japan leaves at 2:30 p. m.,” nothing said about other foreign or domestic malls. A curious feature of tho Japanese at the conference Is that while they are at most prodigal providers of refreshments, liquid nnd otherwise, they nro themselves observed to be total abstainers. It is estimated about 2.500 foreigners are participating In the conference eventß, and of these more than one-flfth are Japanese. It Is not difficult to gauge the Importance of tho conference In the minds of the Islanders of the Northeast Pacific. NATIONALITIES CALL UP MUSICAL NUMBERS. Reduced to musical values the sight of nn Englishman immediately suggests “Rule Britannia” nnd the passing of a Frenchman the "Madelon,” but It was not until I enmo to the Washington conference that tho vision of a oltlzen of Japan flashed a melody across the brain cells. The Japanese, taciturn and thoughtful, are the walking human musical expression of “Meditation" from tho grand opera of “Thais.” The practice of constant reflection which throws off a manner of pre-ocupatlon. Is a complex from the teachings of Buddha. Now the Chinese nro different; they are frank Into proportions that alarm. For instance, one of the celestials In the delegation told me China was a Noah’s arl!* with the rudder lost. He meant the republican government established at Pekin was having difficulty obtaining the appreciation of the Chinese. Nevertheless, the Chinese at the conference are exceedingly cultured, possessing tact and humor. “Many of us are at tho Cairo apartment hi;. 1 a nice place with a Near East name,” he said, and adding with that playfulness so common In the Orient, “you know the Cairo apartment hotel, it is on- Q street.” And there was no mistaking his meaning for he said It “queue,” and actually chuckled when I looked quickly at his own closely cropped head of hair. The Dutch who have extensive interests in the East Indies are hidden away in the Powhatan hotel; the Belgians are equally lost at the New Willard here; frequently, much to their annoyance, they are tagged as members of the French delegation, while the Italians arc buried In the concrete folds of the notel Washington, this city’s newest hostelry. Senator Carlo Shanzer, head of the Italian delegation, has a Germanic rather than a Latin appearance, his red beard, bulk and vole# are really forbidding, but when the barriers have been passed Senator Schanzer is found to be a mine of

correct information and a decidedly interesting personage. The Portuguese delegation is the sparsest at the conference.’ It consists of Viscount D’Alte, Portuguese minister at i Washington; Capt. Ernesto Vasconcellos, j director of diplomatic service in the mlnI lstry of colonies and secretary general jof the National Geographic Society at Lisbon, and J. Mofitalto de Jesus, secre- | tary Interpreter for the two aforemenj tloned gentlemen. I PORTUGUESE HAVE FAR EAST POSSESSION. "Whatever can Portugal possess that demands representation at a conference on the Far East problems?” has been one of the most frequently heard questions. Accordingly, I put tho matter direct to a member of the British delegation similar with tho Orient. "Oh, they have Macao out there, and it is a little place about twenty miles from Hong- | Kong, noted for two things,” he replied. I “One of these Is its gambling casino, frequented principally by Chinese, and . the other Is a rather fine old cathedral.” * The Portuguese minister makes his j permanent home at the Wardman Park Hotel, a huge establishment of 1,000 rooms, miles out from the official life of Washington supposed to cluster around the White House. He Is fax from being Isolated, however; in fact, he is much nearer the pilots of tho American Government than you would think. Five members of President Harding’s Cabinet live at tho same hotel—Messrß. Daugherty, Hays, Davis, Fall and Wallace. The Pan-American Union, in which building tho business of tho conference is for the moment submerged before committees, represeixts $1,000,000 that the late Andrew Carnegie did not put into his public library idea. By going to the rear side entrance, where the press -redentlals of the congress are being recognized, and climbing up through the kitchen I finally reached the famous “Hall of the Americans,” where In a tropical grove of potted trees and exotic flowers luncheon was spread for the foreign visitors. AUSTRALIAN MINIS TE R MOST INTERESTING. One of the most interesting men who i*mt down at that luncheon was Senator G. E. Pearce, Australian Minister of Defense and a member of the British delegation. He is a slender man with a gray mustache, and proudly tells of being a carpenter not a great many years i ago. He graduated into a labor organizer | and was a member of the first Australian | Parliament. During the last war he was I the bulwark of strength and courage in holding Australia to the difficult furrow of sending men to a combat 10,000 miles away. ' Another I observed was MaJ. E. L. ; Pelsse, aiert nnd keen eyed, who is the head of the Australian section, who comes t-- the conference with first hand information on tho Far East, baring made Innumerable trips j’roru Australia to Japan and China. lie was connected with the British Intelligence during the war. As events shape the British are unllmberlng some of their best talent Into the 1 conference. One of the factors quietly looming Is Sir 11. Llewelyn Smith, a graduate of what is called in England “The Manchester School of Economics," and who Is the head of the British Board of Trade, that power which rules the world on the high sens, in the pre-war days he was Lloyd George’s right hand In the promulgating of various social schemes, such ns working men’s Insurance and the like. Those Americans Interested In tho opium question aud the recent resumption of the Chinese af growing poppy are finding Sir John Jordan, formerly British minister at I’ekln, wonderfully well posted upon that subject. Sir John recently served at Genevn In tho discussion before tho League of Nations on devising some way of combating lh> opium evil and among the American friends ho made there was Mrs. Hamilton Wright of Washington. Aside from being trusted by the Chinese, and admired by the Japanese, Sir John has Impressed his new friends In America ns being tho perfection of amiability. Still another Britisher expert on Far Eastern affairs Is M. W. Lntnpson of the Foreign office. He Is a member of the family of Frederick Locker-Lantpson, one of England’s best poets.—Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company. Chew of Tobacco Fatal to Elephant and Upsets Town ORANGE, Texas, Nov. 19.—Some one gave Floto, bull elephant with a circus here, a chew of tobacco Instead of a peanut. Floto is dead, killed by pursuers to stop his vicious rampage. One man is lit the hospital, severely i injured. A part of the Sells-Floto circus was wrecked nnd the nerves of Orange are in a like condition. After 100 men searched for Floto all night, he was found In the country. He met keepers and others with vicious charges and roaring trumpets. He fought capture desperately uutll many charges of lead killed him. Resolution Would Bar Newberry and Ford WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.—A resolution to have the seat of Senator Newberry declared vacant, nnd neither he nor Henry Ford entitled to It, was Introduced In the Senate today by Senator Walsh, Democrat of Montana. Tho resolution asserted that Newberry is not entitled to tho sent because of “gross and flagrant violation” of the Michigan election laws by him and his supporters In the Ford-Newberry senatorial campaign. The resolution would deny the seat to Ford because ho did not receive a majority of votes. NEW RULING FOR TEACHERS. School teachers who were teaching under temporary permits and who were not issued licenses following examinations in October, may not legally continue to receive pay for teaching, the State board of accounts ruled today. The board sent a letter to county superintendents warning them that any sums paid such teachers would be charged against them.

Many Interesting Women Attending Arms Conference Four Seated With Advisory Delegates Gives Them Intimate Touch. Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. BY CONSTANCE DREXEL. WASHINGTON Nov. 19.—Women from all parts of the country and even from Canada are arriving in Washington to get a glimpse of the Wasnington conference in action. The appointment of four women among the advisory delegates has done more than anything else to convince the women back home the conference concerns them intimately. Two of those four women, Mrs. Thomas G. Winter and Mrs. Charles Sumner Bird, have been meeting with the General Information committee, one of the six sub-committees of the advisory committee. William Boyce Thompson was chairman. The committee has announced it would have its own office and the work consists largely <n gathering information from all over the country, to be turned over to the delegates. One of the most interested women visitors in Washington is Mrs. Sidney Small of Toronto, one of the two women members of the Toronto city council consisting of twenty-eight members. She was elected last January. You would not think it to look at her —that is if you are still one of those people who think women doing things in politics must be frightful to look at —for she was a lovely picture, beautifully and richly gowned. She was a guest at Mrs. Park’s luncheon which included three of the four women advisory delegates and Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton, who is given m'uch credit for the appointment of women to the conference. Another woman who comes a long distance to be present at this momentous time is Mrs. Robert J. Burdette of Los Ar.geles. She has so many Interests It is hard to keep track of them, but she is here as chairman of the headquarters commi tee of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs. As another indication of the Interest of women all over this country in the success of the Washington conference, the W. C. T. U. bas gathered a petition of 175,000 women's signatures to be presented to Secretary Hughes when he can spare a I minute from conference meetings.— | —Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company.
