BAILIFFS UPHELD Court Orders Payment of S2OO Salaries. Bailiffs in nine Marion county courts today were victors in joint court action ihvolving their salaries, after Judge Joseph Williams of the Morgan circuit court, serving a special judge in Marion circuit court, held that they must be paid monthly salary of S2OO. The ruling was on a mandate suit filed by nine bailiffs against County Auditor Harry Dunn to force the auditor to pay them their October salaries. Dunn, however, can pay only $l5O to each because he has no fund out of which to pay the additional amount. The difficulty arose after judges had fixed the salaries at the S2OO mark, but the county council, acting as an opposing political faction, appropriated only enough money to pay the $l5O salary. The council probably will meet in special session to consider appropriating, the needed amount. SHELLHOUSE WINS CUP Prize Presented for Winning Drivers’ No-Accident Contest.

TROOPS READY TO TAKE HAND IN MINE STRIKE Violence Is Feared After Armed Demonstration in Illinois Fields. Bu T utted Pres* TAYLORVILLE, 111., Dec. 10.— Guns of 600 national guardsmen were ready to blaze today should a threatened miners’ war break out between 1.000 strikers and other thousands still at work. Four companies, including infantry, £avalry and machine gun units, took charge of the town and nearby coal districts at down. They were ordered mobilized by Adjutant-Gen-eral C. E. Black at Springfield Monday night after he had conferred by telephone with acting Governor Fred E. Sterling. Threats of strikers, members of the National Miners’ Union, which was formed by malcontents in the United Mine Workers of America, to support their strike w’ith bloodshed caused Sheriff D. L. Dunbar to ask for troops. Gather at Gates Violence was averted narrowly Monday when a mob of 400. armed with butcher knives, shotguns and rifles and clubs, gathered at Peabody mine No. 58, the largest in the district, and turned miners away from the gates as they came to work. Women thumped dishpans and shouted: “Join the strike! Down with the United Mine Workers.” Mine officials smuggled twentyfour men into the mine to man the pumps, but none of the 300 regular miners dared push through. Later the mob shouted threats at 200 miners working at mine No. 9 at Langleyville. The men were held inside two hours after the shift was over until Sheriff Dunbar arrived. Howls greeted his order to disperse. Merchants Form Guard Fifty merchants and townsmen were sworn in and armed at once. They led the beleaguered miners through the mob. The influx of 300 more miners into the ranks of the strikers Monday night brought the total to 1,000 and increased apprehension of the sheriff and his men. Demonstrations at Peabody mines No. 7 and No. 8 were planned by the leaders of the striking miners. Officials of the Illinois miners’ union warned members that by joining the strikers, they might “turn this into another Gastonia tragedy.” Bulletins were issued to all members of the parent union. Court to Sit The Indiana supreme court will sit for three consecutive weeks in order to have Christmas week off, it was announced today.
