UNIONS TO SPURN COURT’S $5 A DAY MINE WAGE ORDER

SCALE FIXED BY CITY JUDGE FOBJECEIVER Affects Three Knox County Shafts With Offices in in Indianapolis. GROWS FROM STRIKE Workers’ Chiefs Deny Men Will Go Back to Work for Low Pay. Headquarters of the United Mine Workers of America here today was deeply interested in the attempt of an Indiana coal operator through an Indianapolis court order to put into effect a $5 a day minimum wage scale in his mines in Knox County. The miner headquarters predicted that the union men would not go back to work for such wages; that as long as they molested nobody no court could force them to go into a mine for $5 a day. This is $2.50 a day less than the famous Jacksonville agreement scale, to mainin which miners now are on strike. The mines are the three in Knox County of the Knox Consolidated Coal Company, with headquarters in Indianapolis. The mines have been closed since the strike began, months ago, operators contending they could not make a profi| and pay the Jacksonville scale. Last week a suit for receiver of the Knox Consolidated concern was filed before Superior Judge Linn D.' Hay here. Edwin D. Logsdon, president, was named receiver. The next heard from the suit was the issuance of an order which is regarded by the miners as remarkable. The order fixes the minimum amount of wages to be paid persons working inside the mine at $5 a day, and sets the specific amounts to be paid all the various classes of labor in and outside the mine, ranging from $2.65 a day for trappers to $l6O a month for first engineer. The same order includes an injunction prohibiting any person without business upon the grounds from entering the property. Logsdon today declared that some men had gone back to work in one of the mines at the reduced wage scales. United Press dispatches from Vincennes told a different story. Descriptions of activity around the mines showed that a few workmen merely were cleaning out the workings, as always is ncessary after a long shut-down. Logsdon said that general operation would be started as soon as the cleanup is finished and new machinery installed. Meanwhile, Harvey Cartwright, president of District 11 of the U. M. W. A., declared that union miners would not report for work at the Knox mines at such a figure. Rob H. F. Holmer Grocery Buglars removed the panel from the rear door of the H. F. Holmei grocery, 1313 W.

‘Shepherd's’Shepherd Dog Blue Eyed

The “Shepherd’s Shepherd” is what the Rev. James L. Carrico, St. John’s Catholic Church pastor, Osgood, Ind., calls this blue-eyed Australian shepherd that has traveled with him thousands of miles. Through the combined efforts of priest and dog hundreds of dollars have been raised for church purposes both at Osgood and in Oregon, his former pastorate. The picture was taken when Father Carrico visited the city hall here to talk about park improvement. He is a members of the park committee in his home town.

Murat Temple Parades Bjf United Press MIAMI, Fla., May 2.—Murat Temple’s uniformed ranks created a stir and much applause from more than 150,000 spectators who witnessed the great Shrine parade here Tuesday. The huge procession took more than three hours to pass. Led by Potentate William Bockstahler, the Indianapolis units were as outstanding as any in the colorful pageantry. The big Murat band included “Doc” Hurst playing the largest tuba in the world, an $8,500 instrument loaned from a band instrument display here. Rumor that a terrific cyclone had swept Indianapolis caused considerable anxiety among the Hoosiers here Monday night. It was bantered about the hotel lobbies and many inquiries were made to newspapers. James A. Allison of Miami Beach, former Indianapolis resident and member of Murat Temple, sent flowers and fruit to each Shriner and guests from Indiana at the hotel. Another touch of the home town was furnished by the papers here carrying advertisements from L. Strauss & Cos., with their famous slogan, “Strauss Says.” The layout contained a drawing of the Monument surmounted with a fez and other Shrine insignia.

M. E, PARLEY PONDERS LIFE'S BIG PROBLEMS Bishop’s Opening Address Paints Divorce as U. S. Calamity. BY IRWIN I. FEMRITE United Press Staff Correspondent KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 2. General problems of human conduct and administration of government and specific questions of divorce, prohibition enforcement, the World Court, the League of Nations, and international good will were placed before the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church today. The multitude of problems, on which the hierarchy of the church has based its policies for the conference, were given the delegates today in the Episcopal address, delivered by Bishop Luther B. Wilson, New York. The address required several hours to deliver. Divorce was treated as one of the country’s major calamitieis, threatening the foundation of civilization. Companionate or trial marriage was crit’cised as an attempt to obtain legll sanction to wholesale marital exchange. Leaders in the movement to obtain repeal of the prohibition act were scored. The address approved of the League of Nations and World Court. The movement to coordinate all the religious forces of the world in the interest of world peace, unification of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and of the plan to give certain foreign countries greater autonomy in the matter of selecting native bishops and church administration. The address pleaded for fostering of international and interracial good will. The World Court and the League of Nations, it continued, embody practical steps in the direction of world peace, but for the United States to refuse her wholehearted participation “is utterly inconsistent wit£ its protestation of friendliness with other nations.” Negro Held for Blind Tiger John Hall, Negro, 840 Colton St.,' is charged with blind tiger. Police allege they found seven gallons of alcohol beneath a trap door in the closet of his home.

NATION VIEWS WATSON DRIVE AS AUDACIOUS Corruption So Far Bared Is Sign of More Hidden, Says Author. This is the second of a series of three articles by Will Irwin, famous author, under the general heading. "Indiana. Be Yourself.” BY WILL IRWIN No political expert, glancing over the bare facts of Indiana’s history during the past five or six years, could fail to see the symptoms of a corrupt machine pulling the strings. One community sends its mayor to jail for taking his 5 per cent out of the fake prize fight swindle—a form of the confidence game so open and flagrant as to be comic to all but the victims. The same community rises up N and brings impeachment proceedings against its judge. A Governor is indicted, along with the engineer of the machine in the capital and metropolis, on the charge of offering a former Governor a bribe of SIO,OOO and a promise of immunity from prosecution. Arraigned, the Governor and afterward his assistant in the deal, escape the legal process through which candid men vindicate themselves—by pleading a technicality in the statute of limitations. The Governor retains his office, the county boss his position in the State organization. . Next, the State chairman is sent to a Federal prison for bank crimes. The mayor of the metropolis loses his office for flagrant violatiori of the election law. All Truth Every one who understands poll- 1 tics knows that when such sporadic instances show on the surface there is much more beneath; that for every proved and certain instance of favoring a bank, bribing' an official. there are a score of hidden instances known only to the insiders. The men who have gone before the grand jury are merely the careless or reckles ll or unlucky. The situation was here before Stephenson began his singular operation. Indeed, he probably took this into account when, with the whole country to choose from, he lit on Indiana. * A kind of diabolical Napoleon. he was looking not for money alone, but for power. Being a super-salesman, and having a line of goods very popular with one element in all our States, he could get the money almost anywhere. But to get. the power he needed a community sprinkled with eagerly corruptible officials who were cogs in a good, tight machine. Only in such a State could he make effective use of bribery and intimidation, could he pledge candidates in writing to serve a power above the law. Things May Grow Worse Stephenson passed to the obscur- . ity of his cell, but the machine re- j mained. Indiana had missed its ! widest opportunity. It cannot last! of course. It may be good for this election. In which case, the machine in the end will utterly be smashed by such a sensational, expensive and explosive election as has just occurred in Illinois. Only, if Indiana does not take the bull by the horns this time, if she waits for an occasion of action in an offense against the civic law as open and flagrant as Stephenson’s against the moral law. things will grow much worse before they grow better. In this scheme of politics, the senior Senator from Indiana occupies a position high and unique.

2 BURGLARS SLUG AND ROB CITY MAN

Apparently slugged by burglars he surprised preparing to break into his home shortly before midnight, Wilbur Anderson, 21, of 822 Laurel St., remained unconscious by the side of the house until he was discovered by his mother at 4 a. m. today. " His mother, Mrs. Della Davis, alarmed at his failure to return home had started a search for him and saw him through a smashed window, lying on the ground. According to Sergt. Frank Reilly, in charge of the police emergency

No dirty money has touched him, no bribe, no unfair emolument. Very likely. Senator Watson is not much interested in money anyway. His is that genial, expansive, temperament which like honor, applause, power, the esteem, however won, of his neighbors and friends, the satisfaction of manipulating things. Yet from first to j last, through election after election, he has stood without exception as candidate of the machine, repaying its present benefits by the promise of future favors from Washington. He has delivered the goods too. Favor for favor, he has helped to keep the machine in power and the machine has kept him in power. What the boys do with their power is perhaps none of his business. Certainly the senior Senator from Indiana has behaved as though it were none of his business. Through all the epidemic of indictments, he seemed concerned only with seeing that he drew the skirts of his own senatorial toga away from the mess. Putting himself in a position to prove that he never had any political traffic with Stephenson probably involved hard and wearisome work. But for all practical purposes, he accomplished ► that. Indictment after indictment, exposure after exposure—and the Senator held his peace. Finally the State chairman of his party—a position most important to the machine —was indicted, charged with serious financial irregularities. At this point, the besmirched official should have play the game and resigned. But he held on; and to save the ship it was necessary to throw this Jonah overboard. On that occasion the Senator did : void his just wrath—on the one man. A few days of this, until the | embarrassing official took the dive —and after that, no more moral indignation. Coffin, the machine boss of Marion County, indicted with the Governor for bribery, chose also the undergrounu method of getting his indictment quashed on a legal technicality. And Coffin, “vindicated,” is now brigading the vote of Indianapolis for Watson. Report has it that he will round up 15,000 to 20.000 votes. Silence is a cheap price to pay for such service as that! Watson Missed His Chance Will Rogers, remarking on Senator ; Watsons appearance as candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, said, "and they call me | a humorist!’ That is the reaction I everywhere outside of the State—a smile for the hopeless audacity of the performance. Os course, the Senator has an object: but it isn't the White House. And the pity of it is that with his personality, eloquence and legisla-1 tive skill, he might have been a ser-! ions contender. He alone, probably j possessed the combination of politi- | cal ability, experience and following to take the lead in abolishing this system. He might have gone to the 1928 convention as “the man who cleaned up Indiana.’ The ball dropped into his hands and he muffed it. And now. he who

Returning about midnight he saw a man peering into a side window of the front room of the house and walked up to him and inquired what he was doing. Another man who had been standing behind a* nearby pole stepped up and struck him on the head with a brick, Anderson said. That was the last he remembered.
