SEVEN DIE IN STATE IN WEEK-END AUTO CRASHES

South Side Tired of Long Delays While Trains Pass

rj '?*

Weary Citizens Hope Track Elevation Program Will Be Rushed. Watchful, weary waiting. Counting the cars of the long freight trains that block the Madison Ave. crossing of the Belt Rail road, sometimes for as long as half an hour, may be a healthy outdoor sport, hut long-suffering citizens of that neighborhood do not care for it. Madison Ave. crossing is one of the intersections with the Belt to he affected by track elevation plans through which south side residents are to receive substantial benefits. Tracks are to be raised from W. Washington St. in semicircle to Keystone Ave. Valuable Time I,nst Intersection at Madison Ave. has not only caused loss of time worth thoufiands of dollars to citizens kept watting, but also has been the scene of many crossing accidents in which lives and property have been lost. “Since I moved to I7U Madison Ave., nine months ago, I have seen five accidents at this crossing." said Vearl Miller. "In morning and evening rush hours. It is not unusual to witness traffic lined up four or five blocks while the long trains pass. Often one train Is followed by another on a different track, causing longer delay." Ixmg Waits Albert Ferry, employed by the Southern Coal Company located at the crossing, said he had witnessed blocking of the avenue for ten and fifteen minutes frequently. He expressed hope that track elevation will come In the near future. “People around here are sick of hearing automobile horns blow while the drivers wait until trains pass,” he said. Bernard Hungerford, 2123 N. Pennsylvania St., employed at Pure OH Company, with offices on south side of crossing, was fighting mad. "Had to wait twenty minutes when 1 was in a big rush," Hungerford declared. "They seem to come just at the time traffic is heaviest. There's a tie-up at a quarter after five every evening as regularly as clock work.” Street Cars Delayed About 200 yards to the west S. Meridian St. crosses the Belt, and similar instances are reported there. Tieups here have interfered seriously with schedules of South Indiana|>olis street cars, placing motormen under continuous nervous strain, according Jto W. C. Meyer, 718 Sanders St., rhotorman on that line. His opinion was seconded by J. R. Sloan, 746 Union St., conductor, who emphasized delay in home cnming hours caused by passage of long freight trains.

OHIO MINES TO CLOSE, RESULT OF HIGH WAGES Owners Say Competition Impossible With Low Scale of Open Shop. Bu I nited Prraa NEW PHILADEIJ'HIA. Ohio. April 27.—The operation of union coal mines In Ohio received another shock* today. The Pittsburgh Coal Company announced It contemplates closing all Its sixty-nine mine employing union workers. "We can not compete w-ith mines having nonunion help" said one operator. "Their scale is 20 to 25 per cent lower.” In the Hocking Valley. Ohio's richest coal field, only fourteen railroad mines out of 388 are in operation. In Eastern Ohio only 32 of the 107 railroad mines are loading coal and those are operating only a few’ days a week. * Operators predict union coal mining operations In Ohio will soon come to a dead halt. INDIANA IS UNSETTLED Hoosier Minew Operating 25 to 30 Per Cent of Capacity. Operators here today would not predict the effect of the closing of Ohio mines on the Indiana market. Mine operations in Indiana have been slack for more than a year. William Zeller, secretary, Knox Consolidated Coal Company, 817 Traction Terminal, estimated the mines of the State are running from 25 to 30 per cent of capacity. Many owners have expressed uncertainty about the future of the market. A large amount of coal from non-union mines in Ohio, Kentucky. and West Virginia is shipped into Indiana, because quotations are considerably lower than Indiana prices. Practically all Indiana mines employ union labor, it was said. PLAN COMMISSION BACK Members Have Suggestions Gathered at ( 'onference.
