CARPENTERS AT NEW BALL PARK GO ON STRIKE Sixteen Men Ordered to Walk Out by Agent for Union. A strike, not of the diamond variety, pervaded the new baseball field of the Indianapolis Association club, Sixteenth and Harding streets, today and theratened to slow construction on the $350,000 grand stand and ball lot. Sixteen carpenters, employed in erection of the grand stand, were ordered to walk-out Saturday by the business agent of the district carpenters' union in preference to accepting a sl-an-hour wage scale. Today the sixteen carpenters were ordered off the baseball grounds by the contractors, they say, when they refused to return to work at the scale proffered them. The union scale for carpenters is

Norman Perry, president of the ball club, when asked regarding the strike, said: “I’ve offered a fair wage at a dollar an hour. If they don’t want to take it then I’ll have to get someone else. I want to get this ball park built. I’ll hire anybody that’s willing to work. We didn't order them off the job. They were ordered off it by their own walking delegate.” Representatives of the William P. Jungclaus Company, contractors in charge of the erection of the new park, refused to comment on the walk-out. They refused to either affirm or deny that the carpenters had left the Job because the wage scale had not been adhered to. C. F. Manion, business agent of the Carpenters’ union of this district, ordered the men off the job. “We’ll not cut the scale for them,” said one official of the Carpenters’ union. On the other hand, Perry Is said to be adamant in his stand that $1 an hour is a fair wage. Perry is desirous of opening the ball park for Association games this September.

After the 1929 riots in which eight guards and five convicts were killed, the prison personnel was bolstered heavily. During recent months, however, the guard force was reduced gradually and Warden F. E. Crawford left on a vacation in the belief all was serene within the prison w’alls. Last week, it was said, a rebellious spirit again became manifest. As
