LETCONTRACT FOR SIXTEEN NEWBRIDGES Highway Commission Starts Work on Million-Dollar Program. Contracts for the construction of sixteen bridges, a part of the million-dollar bridge program of the State highway commission, have been let to lowest bidders in each instance. The bids wer*" uniformly lower than the estimates made by engineers. Some difference arose as to the lowest bidder on what is known as the Hazelton bridge over White River on the Dixie-Bee line road in Knox County. This bridge is the largest to be constructed this year and the contract was awarded to the Stein Construction Companv of Milwaukee, Wis., whose bid was $328,767.21. Thirty-three firms bid on the Hazleton bridge which is to be an 1.800 feet steel structure with concrete approaches. The average bid on the project was $303,503.75 and the engineers’ estimate was $341,90*81. The bridge contracts awarded were: Five bridges in Spencer County, all on French Lick trail, to David Jenkins of Terre Haute $12,972. Bridge in Porter Connty across Salt Creek, to Cleary & Hailey of Cincinnati, $20,373.25. Steel bridge in Noble County on Lincoln highway, to Ralph Spurgeon of Ligonier. $4,976.12. Two bridges in Knox County, one steel and one concrete, on St. Louis to Louisville highway, to Vincennes Bridge Company of Vincennes, $8,477.24. Concrete arch bridge in Ripley County, on Michigan road, to Phil S. Hank of Waynetown. $3,441.09. Steel bridge in Grant County on Marion to Huntington road, to Kepler & Kepler of Greentown, $9,485.90. Concrete bridge in Jennings County on the Madison to Indianapolis road, to J. H. Thornburg of Boonv-lile, for $3,595.52. Concrete arch bridge in Dearborn County on the Brookville road, to Ed Hine & Sons of Harrison, Ohio, $6.41694. Concrete arch bridge in Franklin Connty on Brookville road, to J. H. Thornburg, Boonviile, 57.561.44. One bridge in Switzerland Connty on the Vevay to Madison road, to J. H. Thornburg, Boonviile, $4,897.23. Contracts for construction work on a number of State roads and for various kinds of road materials of an approximate cost of $1,000,000 are to be awarded by the commission within a few days. WARNS MINERS AND OPERATORS ON AGREEMENTS (Continued From Fage One.) the law and for which indictments have been found, shall not be repeated.” These references are to the future, but no intimation is contained in the statement as to what action wili be taken by the prosecution of the 225 defendants named in the pending indictments. STATEMENT GIVEN CAREIIL SCRUTINY. The typewritten statements were taken to Mr. Daugherty in his room at the Claypool Hotel by a member of his large retinue “for correction,” it was explained to the newspaper men waiting in the hallway outside the door. About twenty minutes later, with only two apparent corrections, they were brought out and distributed. Almost immediately before the statement could be read carefully, the Attorney General appeared and headed for the elevator in a great hurry to get to his train. Because of this fact it was impossible to question him at any length as to Interpretations of certain parts of the statement or as to any further action he might contemplate. He was very cordial, but in a burry, and he stopped only long enough In the hallway to make an emphatic denial of published statements that his action in this case might in any manner be affected by political or personal affiliations with any of the defendants. Ever since Mr. Daugherty became a member of President Harding's cabinet there has been a steadily growing belief in many quarters that he eventually would take steps toward the dismissal of the cases pending before Judge Anderson. It was to the publication of these reports that he took exception. To see that nothing illegal is done at any conference, the Government may take a hand in such a meeting for the statement reads: “A little more consid eration. I may say. will be given by the Government in connection with whatever agreement, if any, is entered into, while the negotiations are taking place. This may prevent embarrassments and proceedings afterward.” The statement follows: HERE IS HIS STATEMENT. “When I came here I had not determined that the Government should institute any proceeding or take any action, legal or otherwise. Perhaps no legal action by the Government will be necessary in the coal strike dispute. It must be distinctly understood that the Government at no time has opposed a meeting between the miners and the operators and at sueh meeting doing any lawful thing. The Government supposed that there would be a meeting some time long enough before March 31 for the parties to agree upon a legitimate program, but there is no way the Government can force a meeting between citizens, natural or corporate, who have the discretion to transact their own business within lawful lines. “The Government did not oppose a meeting, nor did It object to any lawful thing being done at a meeting, but the Government will not permit an unlawful thing to be done at any meeting that Is held at any time and the Government will not trade its right and duty to prosecute violations of the law, no matter, how much peace is promised. “The Government is too big, too dignified. and too fair to barter its obligations

to see that t e law is observed and that citizens d' not do things that are unconscionab' and n violation of the law to the detriment of the consuming public dependent upon this necessary product. GOVERNMENT TO KEEP EYES OPEN. “Whether a meeting Is held or not, the Government will maintain successfully by any proceeding that may be necessary that agreements, heretofore reached between the operators and miners, year after year for many years, which are violations of the law for which indictments have been found, shall not be repeated. Repetition of these things will be to the disadvantage of the Government's policy, because they are a violation of the law and work a hardship upon the consuming public which is more interested, and more legitimately interested in coal production than the operator or the miner, or both of them. The resources of the country are for the benefit of the people now living and must be husbanded for succeeding generations. Those who are for the time being engaged in the pursuit of producing the product are entitled, while so producing that product for the benefit of the people, to fair compensation on the one hand to the miners, and a fair return on the other hand to the operator. But that third and most important party is entitled to secure the product, which wag intended for humanity, and is so necessary to industrial and human life, at a fair an dreasonablc and commercially possible price. No 'horse play’ or pretended misconception on the part of anybody will change the Government's position in this regard. “As to the indictments pending in this court for violations of the law on the part of many of these parties heretofore, I have only this to say, that certain things charged in the indictment were, violations of the law, and the Government will not, by trade or compromise, consent to them being done again. If many of the

We Believe in Indianapolis Tents and Awnings Indianapolis-made tents and awnings grace the summer camps of north-ern-most Washington, Michigan and Maine and their brilliant stripings and markings lend zest to the winter resorts of the sunny southland. Circus and carnival tents, too, in their wanderings throughout the land, bear the Indianapolis-made label. Tourists, motoring from coast to coast, find protection from weather and heat under coverings made in our city. Each year over 60,000 tents, awnings and coverings are made in thi3 city and their retail value exceeds onehalf million dollars. These products are shipped throughout the United States and Canada. Over 380,000 square yards of canvas—enough to cover the center of Indianapolis between Illinois and Pennsylvania streets and Washington and Ohio streets—are used each year in the tent and awning industry here.

things done at these meetings, time and time again, are not repeated, miners will get a fair return for their labor, operators will get a fair return on their investments, and the consumer will get the product he is entitled to at a fair price. COUNTRY TIRED OF COMPROMISES. “The country is tired of compromises, especially when the compromise Is so expensive to the country and the consuming public. We are in favor of a settlement of these propositions on fair lines and in a positive way. In order that the Government will not be compelled to interfere with business. The Government does not desire to interfere, and will not interfere with any legitimate business transacted in a legitimate way, but the Government will not let illegitimate business interfere with it, meeting or no meeting. “For many years, as the time expired for these so-called meetings, the country was the innocent victim of these biannual meetings and pretended virtuous adjustments. The Government recognizes that stability is necessary, and is willing to protect each of these parties in the performance of legitimate and lawful pursuits on the one hand, and to prevent their doing an unlawful and improper thing to the detriment of the Government, and all of the people of the country, on the other hand. A Utile more consideration 1 may say will be given by the Government in connection with whatever agreement, if any. Is entered into, while the negotiations are taking place. This may prevent embarrassments and proceedings afterwards. “I am returning to Washington this evening, perfectly satisfied with the situation, so far as the Government is concerned. I have had iatisfactory conferences with Judge Anderson and qthers, and if anything is done here iri connection with any court proceeding it will, of course, be done in open court.”
