LABOR LEADERS PROTEST WAGES BE MAINTAINED Say Roads Should Save in Other Ways to Meet Reduced Freight Rates. WASHINGTON. May 25 Demands of railway executives, that wages of their employes must be reduced ia proportion to the rate cuts, decreed by the Interstate Commerce Commission, brought loud protests today from railroad labor leaders here. Formal requests of the carriers for wage reductions, ranging from 10 (o 25 per cent are now being considered bV the Railroad labor board at Chicago, but labor chiefs contend the railroads must effect economies in other directions after July 1, instead of depending upon a wage slash to bring down their expenses. “It is not possible for the labor board to order further reductions in railroad wages,’’ William H. Johnston, president of the International Association of Machinists. deelnred. “Even now the average railway worker does not make ft decent living wage and if additional cuts are made, unything is liable to happen. The men are in an ugly frame of mind. "Id view of the I.abor Board's recognition of the principle of the decent living wage, we do not expect wage cuts to be ordered Just because the Interstate Commerce Commission has reduced the income of the railroads by lowering freight rates.” Despite the protests of Johnston and other officials of the railroad employes' department of the American Federation of I-abor, official intimations hare been given that the Railroad Labor Board will be expected to afford some relief to the carriers, by ordering a wage cut.

SURVEY OF TAX SITUATION IN STATE URGED Indiana Manufacturers’ Association Hear Views of A. M. Glossbrenner on Subject. Recommendations that a thorough survey of taxation conditions in Indiana be made b.v officials of the Indiana Manufacturers’ Association were contained in a talk on “The Tax Situation in Indiana’’ by A. M. Glossbrenner. president of the I.evey Printing Company, before the annual convention of the association today. In part Mr. Glossbrenner said: “Away back In the seventeenth century a great French financier, named Colbert, defined taxation as ’the art of so plucking the goose as to secure the largest amount of feathers with the least amount of squealing.’ The public goose has been plucked clean in the last few years, so thoroughly, in fact, that the citizens who wants to save his skin had better begin to squeal, honk, ‘holier,’ or in some other way make his voice heard. “The elossal increase of taxation generally, and in this State parti uiarly, during the last six years, is in eflect so alarming that it should receive the attention of all citizens, as well as the most circumspect consideration of the legislative and executive departments of our State government. “Prosperity signifies simply the good health of business and our previous discussion has indicated how closely interwoven are business and goven.meut; anything that affects one affects the other. Consequently in determining the right tax policy and practice there should lie close cooperation between our political .representatives and administrative experts. on th* one hand, an 1 the representatives of the leading associations of busfness men on the other.” C., I. & W.

WOMAN BALKS COPS’ INQUIRY Refuses to Give Names of Men Who Figured in Alleged Fisticuffs. A report of a fight caused the police to visit Apart rant 15. at 821 North Pennsylvania street, early today. Margaret Reynolds, who lives at that address, explained to the police that she had been downtown with a friend and he brought her home. When they arrived, she said, another friend was waiting for them and hit the man she was with, knocking him down. She refused to tell the police tha names of the two men and both had disappeared before the police arrived. FIRST WORD ON RECOUNT GIVEN First returns from the primary recount were made public today. The contest in which all ballots have been counted cast for the office is that of Wayne township trustee. This is. of course, the smallest of the six recounts being conducted. The nomination of Frank C. McCain, as trustee, was affirmed. Hi* plurality over the contestor, George H. Ingling. decreased from eighty five to forty. Ingiing will have to pay the expense of the recount. Discrepancies of an average of three vote* to the precinct were found. This is considered by county officials to be exceedingly small. World Tour of 2 Boys Is Halted Tiro Evansville boys started out to see the world but today they were being detained by the Indianapolis police until their parents send for them.

State G. 0. P. Platform

The full text of the Republican platform as prepared for submission to the State convention today, follows: The Republicans of Indiana in convention assembled reaffirm their steadfast devotion to the principles of the Republican party which are a guaranty of established institution —the orderly processes of government, the honor of the Nation, the upholding of American rights abroad and the prosperity and welfare of American citizens at home. We congratulate President Harding upon the accomplishments of the first year of his Administration which have left his fellow countrymen and the world his debtors. Under his leadership, there was initiated and carried to a successful conclusion, the greatest single move ever made toward the end of all war—the conference for the limitation of armaments, conceived and called by President Harding, its produce being promptly ratified Vy r Republican Senate. We hail the treaties Rgreed upon In that conference as great forward steps in the interest of the world and humanity. IMPROVEMENT IN BISINESS. We commend the business Administration of President Hardirg. The Increase in value of Government securities and the abolition of the nuisance taxes, ns well as the improvement in general business. are due to the cumulative effect of the policies of the Republican Administration. The enactment of the splendid budget law by a Republican Congress, in response to a request of a Republican President, is but typical of the hearty cooperation and harmony which exists between the legislative and executive branches of the Government under its Administration by the Republican party. We commend our Republican Congress for its splendid record: for the several acts which extend legitimate aid to tin. basic industry of agriculture: for the laws for the revision and reduction of taxes. BENEFIT TO WAGE WORKERS. We commend Congress for handling the industrial situation as a problem in which all Americans are vitally concerned, ano for its avoidance of all efforts to cure industrial depression with radical and socialistic remedies which would only work greater injury to the wage earners.

Surprising Effects of Convention on Amateur

BY NORA KAY. July I, with its red white and blue streamers, fluttering banners, flying eagles, ice water and ho. Coney Islands was celebrated premarurely Wednesday afternoon at Tomlinson liall, when the Republican State convention opened. The decorations of the hall would have done credit to any patriotic celebration nf 4 Independence day. On top of the yards and yards of banm rs there were dozens of fat, well-fed eagles of shining gold, at least they looked like gold, and enlarged crayon portraits, like those that used to hang in the front parb-r, of Lincoln, McKinley, Roosevelt, and others. Tie place of honor was held by two lifelike and lifesize oil paintings, one of which could be easily recognized as President Harding and the other, by deduction, was assumed to be Coolidge, although his face was not so familiar to the amateur politicians. There was wonderfully artistic portrait of Mr. Beveridge in a white waistcoat. all surrounded by a big gold frame, holding the right-band side of the stage, and another of Governor McCray. A big sign indicating the location of the Vanderburg County delegation somewhat impeded ti.e audience’s view of the Governor. but when the gentleman himself got np to speak, he was posit'vely identified from his portrait. Mr. Beveridge, however, except for his generally distinguished air. could hardlv have been discovered, as he had changed his white vest outfit f<>r a delicate gray, that harmonized beautifully with his hair and tie and hose, the latter being gray silk with black tops. NO SMOKING RI LE SAVES RUBBER COLLARS. There were some surprising effects in the seats on the stage, gray and heliotrope and orange and purple, mostly Introduced in the costumes of the feminine delegates and politicians. One disgruntled male delegate, who had to go out in the hall to make on account of the no smoking rule, said he didn't know whether th anti-smoking law had been passed to save the women or the delegates wearing ruhber collars, but he didn't approve of it No politician, he said could delegate successfully minus a cigar anj with perfume attacking his olfactory nerve. An onlooker, who dropped n to get out of the rain. I guess, thought at first It was thundering steadily, but finally got near enough to discover that the noise was made by Senator Watson, who had got well warmed up on his speech. The Senator spoke with brief pauses for ice water and to assure the audience that he didn't want to keep them long, for more than two hours. The policeman at the main entrance, who had to stand np through it all. said the Senator has the most wonderful endurance of anything he has ever seen except a fox hound, but surpassed that animal in gymnastic ability. lie can gesture in any direction, left or right, with equal ease, bounce up and down all the way through a sentence and then ruffle up his curls when he is pausing to rest. The only effect or

Old Timer COT* ALFRED L. WALTERS. Coi. Alfred L. Walters of Danrtlle Is probably the oldest man to attend the Reptibllean State convention. He la 82 years old and has a record of having attended every Republican State convention since IS6O. The first convention he attended nominated Henry S. Lane for Governor and Oliver P. Morton for Lieutenant Governor. While others who have acquired res|>ect for their knowledge of the campaign of 'O6, a memorable one, Colonel Walters voted twice for Abraham Lincoln, in 1860 and 1864. Colonel Walters admits that ho is advancing in jears, but says that his interest in politics la as keen as ever. Hendricks dbunt.v honored him by making him a delegate to the convention elevenAimes and during the other year* he anyway.

By lifting the burden of taxation, Congress benefited the workingmen particularly, because they are the ultimate consumers who bear the brunt of the heavy /taxes. Asa result, business is experiencing a revival. The number of unemployed is less than half of that a yeat ago, industry is on the upgrade, pay rolls are being increased and the wage earner is assured that relief is at hand from the industrial depression in which the Democratic Administration left them. We favor the earliest possible repeal of the present Democratic tariff law under which there has been wide-spread depression and unemployment before and since the World War, and the enactment of a protective measure extending to America#! labor and enterprise tariff rates fully equalizing the cost of production at home and abroad. We predict that the enactment of a tariff law adequately protective of American labor, in conjunction with the other constructive measures of the Harding Administration, will be followed b.v a complete resumption of industry and an era of prosperity without parallel in our national history. INDORSE] RECORDS OF U. S. SENATORS. We unqualifiedly indorsed the records of Senators Harry S. New and James E. Watson and the Republican members of the lower louse of Congress. Thev have played a hading part in the constructive legislative program of Congress and have given the fullest and most sympathetic cooperation to the Executive * branch of the Government. We would emphasize the fact that to complete the program which the Republican party has initiated It Is necessary to continue the heartiest co-operation w-hich now exists between the Congressand the President, and to this ena we pledge our efforts to the election of that statesman and scholar, former Senator Albert J. Beveridge, and a solid Republican delegation In the lower House of Congress. STATE ADMINISTRATION IS INDORSED. We indorse the administration of Governor Warren T. McCray. It stands out as an efficient, business-like administration. His honest, frank manner and his sound business Judgment are an asset to the State in his position. The last General Assembly took a long step in the direction of providing ade-

hls exertions seemed to be that the hotter he became the more gracefully hit hair curled. Between watching the exercises and admiring costumes and picking out the notab! -s to match their pictures, most of the balcony spectators kept theinsclv## amused until an usher came around with hot Coney Island sandwiches, with which they slipped out into the hall and refreshed thmeslves, there being no other refreshments in sight. There they listened to the bursts of applause that tadicated the speaker had raveated some new, or old but undiscovered ©etnocratlc shortcoming. SHANK SAYS ‘WE HAVE TOO MANY BOARDS’ < Ton tinned From Page One.) In the union, are demanding that their Government eoet them less In the future than It Is costing them non-, aikl there Is only one way to cut expense* and that Is to cut them.’’ Mayor Sbauk went into his program of home rule in characteriste and vigorous fashion. His discussions of political issues in Indiana were consistent with the attitude he has taken in the past. “I came up here from Loulsvilla, w’ jre I was trying to make an honest 11’ .r “When a county from southern Indiana has to gome up here before it o • Ids a good road, I tell you it's all d?ad wrong. "Boys, you're lost if you ever let ’em put it over. 1 am for the direct, primary. system Is all right for the bosses, but it is all wrong for the people. Let the people rule, right or wrong. “Go on with your good roads. The farmers are for them now. The trouble with our State government is too many boards. There is too much overhead expense and is isn't the taxes so much the people object to, as it Is that they don't get a dollar's worth of value for the money they pay in the form of taxes. “Here in Indianapolis we have a sanitary board costing $75,000 a year. I could put an engineer over there to run it bettor without any extra cost to the city. Indianapolis, she's yours. I want you fell iws, espi daily those* who left their wives at home, to be careful about violating any of the parking laws.” PREDICTS SWEEPING VICTORY FOR PARTY. Mayor Shank predicted a sweeping Republican victory next fall, and declared Indiana needs Altert J. Beveridge in the United States Senate. In discussing the primary the mayor said: “Believing ns I do that the people should nominate their candidates for office. I am a firm believer in the direct primary. I believe that the voters who elect the party nominees in the fall, should be given tin* right of selecting those nominees In tiie spring. Ours is a government of the people, by the people and for the people. Tho political boss is out of date —the masses of the people—the common people, are their own masters. Within the last few weeks the people of two of our greatest commonwealths have spoken in terms that sbonbl not le mistaken. Indiana foremost in everything, and Pennsylvania foremost in Republicanism, have said to the other sister States that given the direct primary the Republicans can and will choose the best of American manhood hr their standard bearers. The Republican party will thrive and lie successful so lone ns it keeps its party management close up to the people, and it can dr this by maintaining the direct primary.” The activities of women in recent primaries was stressed by the speaker, who declared the women are for the primary. On home rule the mayor said: "I favor local government or home rule for cities nnd towns. It Is my opinion that the State should not usurp too much authority in the various units of local government throughout tile State. Tho people of Evansville and Ft. Wayne know what they want better than the people who live In Indianapolis. “Tills tends me to say a word ahont the public service commission of Indiana.. In theory tlte public service commission is good, but In practice I sometimes think they forget whom they represent. However, I am glad ot say that recently (hey seem to be more responsive to the wants of the people. We all are In favor of the public utilities of this State earning their legitimate expenses and making a fair return on their investments, bat we are unalterably opposed to them exploiting the people and operating their plants in an extravagant and unbusinesslike manner. It occurs to me that If a representative of the municipality or community affected by the public service commission’s action toward a utility conld alt i t with the commission in the hearing of the matter that such action would be more pleasing to the people of the municipality or community.” The mayor concluded his remarks with a declaration, that harmony prevails in the party. e \

REMOVAL OF REFORMATORY. The removal of the reformatory from the extreme southern end of the State to "a central locution, on better luuds. and the preparation for the construction, without waste or extravagance, of a modern institution, has been a matter of considerable effort on the part of this administration, but the work has been well done and is of great value to the State. During the administration of Governor McCray the budget law was enacted and has been placed in operation, whereby the financial affairs of the Btaie have been systematized and placed upon a business basis, the result of which will be a general saving to the taxpayers and better returns lor the money# expended. Under the Republican administration, a system mt State highways has been provided tde, ir A out, established. Improved and m tallied, to the general good of tho p> 'e; and we pledge continuation of tv same efficient management ot this department, which lias continuously reduced the cost of administration until it has reached the low mark of 2.87 per cent, leaving all other moneys to bs expended ‘ directly on construction and maintenance of the highway# of Lb# State. Wk LAWS GOVERNING ROAD CONSTRUCTION. In addition to that, the lews governing tho com-traction and maintenance cal mads were strengthened, including tho patrol system, which has proven, to lie very practical, so that every Utttt community in the State will oon be connected with the great State highway •* tern by roads improved under the lv providing for county and townahlp blfhwuys. Another one of the beneficent laws brou giit into existence end perfected under Republican Administration, 1# what is known as ths “Blus Sky Law,” which is one of tha beat laws upon the subject' In the United State#, and which has proven to be a great protection to the ■.mall saving# of the general public against thoaa who formerly preyed upon i t hem. Under the Admlnlatratlon of Governor McCray, the various State department# have been, working in perfect harmony, and have been making every effort to bring about efficiency on the most economical basis, and the entire State government Is, at this time, working so caiefnUy aud earnestly, as to be a rnatI ter of pride to the party which Is furnishing to the State his administration. OPPOSED TO MORE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS. We are opposed to the creation of additional departments, boards or commissions In connection with the Administration of govermuent. and declare for the abolition of all useless boards and commissions and the reduction of the expense of thoße maintained without impair ing their efficiency. We favor the discharge of official duties by officers elected by the people. We recommend that the next Legislator** either abolish the Democratic public utilities law, or so amend it as to muke it responsive to the people's welfare. PARTY STANDS FOR LAW AND ORDER.

The Republican party has always stood for orderly Government. We shall resist any effort to overthrow tho fundamental principles of our Government. We pledge ourselves lo encourage a deeper devotion to our Federal and State constitutions, jour laws and our system of Government, whose beuefleeut results have proved a blessing to the American people for more than a century and which shall continue to bo the bulwark of our liberties, for lawful nnd orderly Government resulting ' in well being and happiness of our peo- , pie. We reaffirm that every citizen is entitled to tho protection of the law and that, reciprocally, every citizen is bound to protect and respect the law. The aggressions of inoti violence are a serious menace to the stability of our American institutions. The continued I lynching and burning of men and women j at the stake is a terrible blot upon Amer- | !<au civilization. We urge and favor the immediate passage, by the United States Senate, of the Dyer bill, already passed by the House of Representatives, making lynching and burning a Federal crime. We favor absolute devotion to Ameri canisin and ail steps necessary thereto i The Republican party is proud of the ! fact that a Republican Legislature subj mitted to the people the constitutional amendment requiring full citizenship for suffrage, which is now a part of our State constitution. I’AKTY ORGANIZATION SHOULD INCLUDE W OMEN, Ue.ognizing that the voting strength of the Republican party is composed equally of men and women, we beiiev* that women should have an equal representation and vote in all the legal organizations and committees of our party throughout the State, Including the Slat**, district uud County committees and the executive committees thereof. We favor placing upon our State executive committee, with full voting power, two or more representative women. one of said women to be known us vice chairman nnd to bo recognized as having the powers and duties in organization work equivalent to the State chairman and entitled to preside over j meetings of these committees iu the ub ! sonce of the chairman. W- further pledge the Republican organization to give its strongest support and assistance to all women now candidates upon the Republican ticket. EDUCATION HELD IN DISTENSIBLE. Tiie Republican party ts deeply conscious of tho importance of education and holds a liberal education to lie India pensible to the well-being and happiness . of our people. We believe that money Judiciously ! Invested in education is well invested and will bring abundant returns, aud we declare ourselves strongly in favor of such legislation nnd policies us will | promote tiie education of our people. j We express our unqualified Indorsement of ’he State's efforts in making n complete and exhaustive survey of the schools and their various Interests, nnd we promise a most careful and sympathetic consideration of the report of the Indiana Education Survey Committee, to the end that any school legislation that may be enacted will be thoroughly sound and in keening with the best interests of tho State. Realizing that no child should lie brought up in improper or Immoral home, we favor the enactment of such addltViunl laws ns will Insure their proper bomb life at all times and we also favor such increased facilities for earlier recognition and impro e<l training of mental defective and delinquent children, so that our schools will not be retaried or impaired by those of low mentality or our courts clogged by cases of preventable juvenile delinquency. ACKNOWLEDGE DEBT TO ALL VETERANS. We acknowledge our indebtedness and the gratitude to the veterans of all wars, many of whom have given to the Nation their lives. In innumerable instances, many others have sacrificed tiielr health and all have made heavy sacrifices. To those of our veterans who are in pain or in need nnd to their dependents, we give our sincere assurance that it will lie our purpose as it has been in the past, to aid and assist them. We publicly acknowledge this ns the greatest obligation which rests upon our nation which must be met in the true spirit in which their sacrifices were made. tVe favor Federal adjusted compensation for World War veterans. PARTY PLEDGES TO KEEP LABOR FREE. The Republican party was horn out of the issue of free labor, and it is pledged to keep labor free hy opposing all legis-

lation curbing its lawful activities. The Republican party is opposed to class government and believes in # Government that is ever supreme and always dealing out exact social and industrial justice and equality to all element# or It# people. Complete emancipation of unjust and unfair industrial conditions and the granting of a living wage based on the American standard of living is the surest preventive of industrial disorder and th# most effective cure of radical and anarchistic tendencies. We reeuguize the right of labor to organize for the betterment ,of Us working condition and of both labor aud capital to bargain collectively, having due regard for the public welfare with a view of securing a wage commensurate to the high standard of living desired by the American people. The prosperity of labor and capital will be best conserved by Government not attempting to regulate their activities and we are opposed to the principles of compulsory arbitration of industrial disputes, but we favor such impartial Investigation on the part of the Government as will enlist the influence of enlightened pub-; lie opinion, believing that such a method i is more effective in the settlement of in- ' dustrlal disputes than boards and commissions appointed with arbitrary powers. EQUAL OPPORTUNITY. FOR BOTH SEXES. We favor‘equal opportunity for women under such restrictions as may be necessary to safeguard their health and to conserve and promote the public welfare, and we favor Improving working conditions and believe that wages should be based on occupation and not sex and should to maintain the proper standW believe In the principle f Work MW Compensation Law pli-lge our.swyn tb^tealai-r#uc 1 1 amendments as JMpKeal expedience may prove to be* Mul* tl#* U! tilo employe, the W’ SfflfirtßlJiv, our faith In tha graat constitutional go#: ■ nod lawful, assemblage, f, uni of the PPMii freedom of speech ami mi of labor.

We commend our President and Congress for the passage of the emergency tariff act, which has been a life buoy to our farmers during the trying period of emancipation from Democratic mismanagement.

FEMALE CROOKS INCREASING IN POLICE RECORD Women Robbers and Bandits . Operating Successfully Along Gold Coast. CHICAGO, May 25.—Women robbers and bandits are on the increase, according to records of Chicago police. A greater number of robberies by women has been reported during the first part of the present year than ever before m tho city's history. V. hile women criminals formerly were connected with robberies involving sntall amounts, now the charges often run Into -the thousands. The largest proportion of robberies by women are the work of thieves who gain entrances to homes posing as maids, the records show. Maids, police believe, operate usually as members of gangs, enabling them to get away with bulky loot. Authorities today sought a “maid” who gave the name of “Agnes Swanson” in obtaining employment at the home of Owen W. Brower, wealthy Gold Coast resident. When the family was away from home on the third day of the maid's employment, she walked out with $15,000 worth of jewelry and silverware.
