SLACK DENIES HE IS BUILDING UP WHINE’ ‘But I’ll Put in Democrats,’ Mayor Tells Members of Club. “I’m not interested in building up either a personal or political machine at City Hall; but where I can do it, and defend it before the public, I’ll put in Democrats.” Mayor L. Ert Slack thus answered critics and explained his policy on administration changes in addressing Democratic State, County and city officials at a luncheon in his honor at the Indiana Democratic Club Tuesday. “When I took office,” he declared, “only about fifty of the 1,300 city employes were Democrats. There were 125 more Republicans than Democrats in the police department, and a Republican majority of 138 in the fire department. Right to Equal Division “Citizens gneerally believe I had a right to make a more nearly equal division. Despite everything I might do in the next two years, there still would be a majority of Republicans on the city pay roll.” The mayor’s only reference to the council’s threat to rescind its action which placed him in the mayor’s chair, was; “I might analyze and answer why certain things that are happening, but I’ve not got to the place where I have to think about them or explain. Some day I may do it of my own volition.” ' Mayor Slack cited as the “seven real troubles” he has had in the mayoralty: 1. Lack of acquaintance with men best qualified for city posts, due to close attention to his law practice and duties while district attorney. 2. Distressing number of unemployed in “this time called ‘prosperity,’ which in reality is a state of mind for purposes I’ll not discuss.” Tells of His Troubles 3. Difficulty of “selling” myself to the public because of a general prevalent, wholesale lack of confidence in government here. 4. Task of “surrounding myself with an absolutely loyal organization without losing the confidence or incurring the suspicions of the public.” 5. Hesitancy of working “in the spotlight.” “If you don’t think I’ll be as careful about this job as a mother with anew born babe, you mistake my femininity,” he said. 6. Lack of a “sympathetic press.” 7. Difficulty and regret of having to choose between friends and capable men to fill appointive posts. Michael E. Foley, member of the city park board and the State prison board, and John W. Holtzman, corporation counsel, indorsed Evans Woollen for the presidency and Frank C. Dailey for the governorship, predicting their election if nominated.

Shoo! Shoo! ‘Woman’ Seeking Hats Wears Man’s Shoes That Depart Rapidly.

"lITHEN a man dresses as a interested in millinery, there is something wrong, police believe. Therefore, they are looking for the man, garbed as a woman, who inspected hats at the Rhode Millinery Company store, 314 E. Washington St., Tuesday. He probably was a burglar, planning a robbery, they say. A store employe told police’ the supposed woman came in and nodded that she wished to be shown hats, but refused to speak. While the hats were being brought out, the “woman” walked about the store and peered into the workroom, probably to learn the arrangement of the rear doors. When the “woman” spoke twice, saying “yes” and “no” in a coarse voice, the employe noticed the “woman” wore man’s shoes. As the employe stared at the shoes, the customer left hurriedly.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

MINERS CHARGE RAILROADS TRY TO RUINJJNION Pennsylvania Road Closes Mines by Price Edict, Leaders Assert. Bn Times Special WASHINGTON. Jan. 18.—A “rail-road-coal company conspiracy” to refuse to buy Indiana coal produced by union miners has resulted in keeping thousands of miners out of work in the Indiana field and has kept the mines idle, it was charged by representatives of the United Mine Workers of America in a statement to the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee today. The union chiefs asked the committee to take up Senator Johnson’s resolution for an investigation into, the disturbances in the coal industry. The Pennsylvania Railroad j was accused of being the leader in the Indiana situation, but the New York Central and the B. & O. were charged with joint responsibility. “In Indiana, representatives of the Pennsylvania Railroad encouraged the Indiana producers to resist the making of a wage agreement at the Miami <Fla.) conference of : operators and miners of the central j competitive field in February, 1527," ! the statement said. Call Logsdon Leader “E. D. Logsdon, president of the | Knox County Consolidated Coal j Company of Indiana, large pro- ' ducers of fuel coal for the Penn- ! sylvania Railroad, assumed leadership of the Indiana operators and organized the Indiana Bituminous Coal Operators’ Association for resistance to the making of anew wage agreement and to beat down wages,” the statement continued. I “Since the official termination of I the strike in Indiana and Illinois, the Logsdon interests, the Pike County Coal Company and other mines heretofore supplying railroad fuel for the Pennsylvania have declined to resume operations, because the Pennsylvania Railroad refuses to place any orders with these mines for railroad fuel mined under the existing wage rate—the Jacksonville scale. “The Pennsylvania railroad is fueling its lines in Indiana with coal brought in from the East and Southeast at a higher cost than that for which Indiana coal could be purchased. While this condition exists, mines in the Indiana field are idle and thousands of miners out of work and reduced to a state of destitution. Sets Limit on Price “In November, 1527. the Pennsylvania Railroad served notice on Indiana coal operators that, beginning Dec. 1. that company would pay $1.60 a ton and no more for coal in Indiana. “Under this ultimatum from the Pennsylvania Railroad, Indana operators who had been supplying the Pennsylvania road with coal were obliged either to close their mines cr attempt to operate nonunion with strikebreakers in a 100 per cent union organized field. They chose the former course and closed their mines, throwing thousands of men out of work. “In issuing this ultimatum to Indiana operators .the Pennsylvania Railroad very well knew’ that the operators cculd not comply with the price terms and pay decent, living wages to their miners. ‘lt was well aware that in order to sell coal to the Pennsylvania Railroad at $1.60 a ton they would be compelled to ignore, repudiate and break away from their contract with the United Mine Workers of America, which was negotiated and signed at Terre Haute in the summer of 1927. Other Roads Involved “Whether by understanding and agreement; by concert of action; or mere coincidence, the attitude of the New York Central Railroad, the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, and other railroads in Indiana in this matter are parallel with the policy of the Pennsylvania Railroad. All are working for elimination of the United Mine Workers of America from the bituminous coal industry. “With the miners’ union destroyed there would be no minimum limit to the wage reductions which then might be forced upon the mine workers of the country, for they would be without any means of self protection against such onslaughts,” said the union leaders’ statement.

‘I WONT TELL, JUDGE’ Remark Earns Negro Woman $lO Fine in Court. “It’s no use telling you I wasn’t drunk, ’cause you’d only believe what the officer says,” Ordina Dell, 21. Negro, 1206> 2 E.

PRESENT CLAIMS TO LONG-RANGE RADIOJAVES Public Priority Is Argued Before Federal Commission at Washington. By United Press WASHINGTON. Jan. 18.—Pressure to obtain a Federal radio commission ruling that commercial radio companies serving the public have first claim to the valuable short-wave frequencies was seen here today, as the commission continued its conference with 140 of the leading radio users of the country. Newspaper, press associations, and oil, rubber and ship companies, in addition to the Radio Corporation of America, the Mackay system and other commercial radio companies, have asked for authority to use the short wave, which are more economical and of greater range than the long waves now generally in use. The commercial companies gave notice that they serve the entire public, and so must receive preference over private interests. Hearings to End Today The case actually is a re-hearing •of the commission’s action in rej fusing the San Francisco Examiner, i a Hearst newspaper authority to use | a short length for point-to-point, ! land radio on the Pacific Coast. Intervention of the many interests caused the commission to conduct an exhaustive investigation of the entire subject. The hearings probably will conclude today. Joseph Pierson, representing the American Newspaper Publishers’ Association, is to present the newspapers’ side of the case today. Government officials and experts i joined with commer ;ial radio men lin agreeing that ’acilities were i limited. They pointed out that the law directed the President to designate frequencies for official stations, and that the frequencies allocated by the commission to private corporations must not conflict with the national defense, lifesaving and aviation weather services. Waves Circle World Tire situation is further complicated by the tremendous range of short waves. Signals from London are sometimes received twice by American stations—once across the Atlantic and again a tenth of a second later after a trip around the world the other way. Experts said these waves do not often interfere in the vicinity of the sending station, being sometimes almost inaudible, but at any distance frQtn 1,000 to 25,000, they may cause great trouble. Thus, if radio operators of a foreign country were incensed over American interference, they could entirely disrupt American communication if they wished. This was pointed out in emphasis of the great need to avoid foreign interference. SEEK MISSING PERSONS Eaton (Ohio) Postmaster Watched for; Others Reported Gone. Police today were asked to watch for Edward Bailey, 60, postmaster of Eaton, 0., who is said to be en route to the city in a car and suffering mental illness.

DOCTORS END COLD QUICK, NOVEL WAY

Advise Hospital Tested Method for Home Use—Many Here Relieved in Few Hours A quick, pleasant and inexpensive method—endorsed by physicians for home use—brought to E. H. Garrit the same speedy relief which has been experienced by so many Indianapolis people who have used it for head colds, chronic coughs and deep seated chest colds. Mr. Garrit, for example, had neglected his cold for a day or so after he had begun to sneeze and cough. Examination showed that one of his nasal tubes was badly congested, his throat was inflamed and the cold was spreading down towards his lungs, causing fear of pneumonia. Doctors then gave him double strength doses of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral—a concentrated mixture of wild cherry, terpin hydrate and other ingredients which have relieved even the most extreme hospital cases. With the very first pleasant swallow he felt its comforting, healing warmth from his nose passages deep down into his chest. Almost immediately his head and chest began to clear up and in a day or so. doctors report, all traces of the cough and cold were gone.

Bu United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.—The treasury, having won its victory to delay congressional action on anew revenue bill until after March 15, today ordered internal revenue collectors to send out old type blanks for taxpayers to use in filing their income tax returns by that date.
