DAVIS PLEADS WITH WORKERS NOT TO STRIKE Urges That Disarmament Principle Be Extended to Industry. SCORES ‘LIVING* WAGE MILWAUKEE, Dec. 13—A plea to the workers of America to “stop the battles and the warfare in industry” was voiced here today by Secretary of Labor James J. Davis in an address before a mass meeting'. "Disarmament is not solely a problem for a conference at Washington,” Davis declared. “It Is something that reaches to the very hearthstone in the home of every man and woman in America. It has been said at the Washington conference that the first requisite for peace is the will to peace. Let us have that will to peace, not once in a while, but every hour of our workday life. SAYS STRIKE IS BACK NUMBER. “Let us say to employer and employe In their own words, ‘disarm’—in the past the strike may have been the only means men have had to gain right wages and working conditions. Now the 6trike is becoming a back number. The time is coming when it will be regarded as a relic of barbarism. I hate both the strike and the lockout. Both are always the separator, never the cooperator. “I am vastly mistaken if our people have not already come to hate industrial warfare as bitterly as they detest the bloodier but not more costlier conflicts of battle.” Conciliation, the labor secretary said, is the great need in American industry. He reviewed the work undertaken by his department at Washington in endeavoring to end industrial disputes and outlined his plans for adding to his staff of conciliators. Fifteen or twenty men. Davis said, trained to act as mediators between contending groups, “will be a godsend to the country, as practical leaders to peace in industry.” “BETTER WORK” AND MORE OF IT. Pointing out that the workers of America were in competition with the workers of the world, Davis said the slogan of American industry should De ?- "increase the quantity and improve the quality. Better work and more of it.” "I have always said and I say again.” the secretary declared, “that I am against the living wage. It is not enough. That is why I am against it. A merely living wage is a beggarly allowance from a public as rich as ours to a worker as skilled and thrifty as our American wage earner. • “The employer who begrudges decent pay,” Davis said, “is in the same class with the other restrictionists who demand endless duplication of effort, endless classification of workers. “While human nature remains what it Is, the lion and lamb may never lie down together in Industry. But we must never give up the struggle to make them better natured about it. We can have, we must have, more peace in Industry. W must have, we can have, so little of open fighting that it amounts to nothin g.”

HOOSIER CITIES OPPOSE MERGER OF 7 UTILITIES Public Service Commission Asked to Refuse Permit to Consolidate. 10 OBJECTIONS OFFERED A protest against merger of seven Indiana electric utilities Into the Indiana Electric Corporation was raised today by attorneys for civic bodies and cities affect ed. Charging that the merger would result in rates higher than those prevailing during the war, Samuel Ashby, corporation counsel for the city of Indianapolis, filed a petition with the public service commission asking that it refuse to permit the consolidation. The commission tomorrow will hear arguments on an amended petition of the corporation asking that it be allow’ed to combine the utilities into a $19,000,000 venture under which it proposes to establish a central power plant in the Indiana coal fields for the transmission of electricity over high tension wires to various parts of the State. The companies involved are the Wabash Valley Electric Company, the Cayuga Electric Company the Putnam Electric Company, the Elkhart Gas and Fuel Company, the Valpa- | raiso Light and Jieat Company, the Indiana Railways and Light Company and the Merchants Heat and Light Company These objections were set forth by Mr. Ashby: 1. The commission has no authority to receive an amended petition after a case is once closed. 2. The total amount of the proposed stock and bond issue proposed to make possible the merger is in excess of the actual valuation of the property. 8. The physical value of the properties Involved is important and no action should be taken until they are appraised. 4. Value of the properties is higher than the valuation for purposes of taxation, which in turn are in excess of the physical values. 5. There is no reasonable relation between the proposed issue of stocks and bonds as required by law. 6. The net earning would be insufficient to pay the fixed charge under the present rates charged by the utilities. 7. No provision is made whereby the corporation would be able to raise a dollar to construct the central plant in the coal fields. 8. The proposed merger would render valueless the independent generating cow- , panies involved which would greatly reduce the value of the present properties. 9. There is no natural relation between tbe companies involved. 10. If the merger is authorized, its rates necessarily would be higher than tho war time rates. Mr. Ashby had the moral support of attorneys representing the cities of KoI koino and Elkhart, the organized power- | users of Indianapolis and tho Exchange Club of Clinton, he declared. Fred Bates Johnson, attorney for the city of Kokomo, said: “The proposal stands substantially as it did before on substantially the same basis. The public service commission decided the basis was all wrong. The presumption of the petitioners lu again coming in on the same basis is rernark--1 able.”

They are the executive, financial, ways and means and investigation committees. The meeting, which was held at the residence of Mayor-elect Samuel Lewis Shank, was marked by a slight disagreement over the naming of officers, but this was ironed out before the evening was over. The executive committee is composed of Mrs. Edward Franklin White, Mrs. R. A. Rinker, Mrs. J. D. Hoss, Mrs. R. C. Huggins and Mrs. Elizabeth S. Carr. A meeting with Stoughton A. Fletcher, owner of Laurel Hall, Is to be arranged at once by the financial committee. The committee Is empowered to talk terms with Mr. Fletcher. On the committee are Mrs. Isaac Born, Mrs. Arthur It. Robinson, Mrs. William Russell, Mrs. Alice M. French and Mrs. Richard Liebe.. RAISING MONEY’ IS COMMITTEE'S TASK.

Peffley, who yesterday declared she and several other women had started the movement to buy Laurel Hall several months ago, was placed in the chair by Mr. Shank when the meeting opened. After several brief talks and after the 150 women and men present had agreed upon the need for a better place for the soldiers to convalesce than in the basement of a hospital, Mr. Shank suggested that Mrs. Peffley remain as chairman, but a secretary be elected by those present. SHANK DEMANDS “NEW DEAL." Mrs. Peffley said she had selected a secretary before the meeting and introduced Mrs. Esther C. Davenport for ‘he place. Mr. Shank said that would not do, that he wanted “this thing to go through and we must, in fairness to the others hero, elect new officers. We can't have this take on the appearance of something which was fixed beforehand. I want you women to abandon all petty jealousies and I don't want any woman here to refuse to work with us because she ‘don't like that woman or this woman.' We must get together.” Mra. Carr remarked that It didn't make much difference who the officers were, that the big thing was the hospital for the soldiers and so long as the soldiers were satisfied it didn’t matter much about anybody else. Tranquility was restored.
