BAKER'S CAUSE HELPED BY HIS LEAGUESTAND Opposition to Immediate Entry by U. S. Cheers Ohioan’s Friends. fConlinurd from Page 1) Smith’s opposition candidacy to cut into the New York Governor when such development would prove most Baker's statement was significant because some of his friends have felt that his never-concealed belief in the League of Nations might hamper them in advancing him as a compromise candidate. Despite constant mention of him as a presidential possibility, Baker on recent occasions frankly has reiterated his faith in the league. Lest he be misunderstood, Baker in his latest statement, predicts again that some day the United States will go into the league and ought to. But he says he would not, if he had the power, take the United States into it until an informed and convinced majority of the American people favors it. “I am not in favor of a plank in the Democratic platform urging our joining the league,” he said. So far as Baker is concerned, this is intended to disassociate the league from the coming presidenial race. It meets the chief fear that opponents had raised against him. Baker said he was not a candidate for President. It is certain, how’ever. that, he would accept if a nomination were tendered.

Regarded 1/Ogical Compromise Many anti-Roosevelt Democrats regard Wilson's secretary of war as the logical compromise. Roosevelt’s friends claim he is within 100 votes of the necessary two-thirds. Others, however, believe his position is highly dependent upon what Alfred E. .Smith does. An attempt Is being made to set Smith up as an opposition candidate. In the latter event, Baker, regarded as one of the most brilliant men in the party, but refusing to play the conventional game of a prospective candidate, is expected to be thrown into the balloting as a compromise. Senators Are Pleased Comment on B .ker’s statement included the following: Senator Walsh <Dem.., Mont,.)— I know of no one who has been eager to or is attempting to raise the league issue at this time. In fact, it has been ignored pretty generally since the 1920 campaign. Senator Dill (Dem., Wash.)— I think it is extremely encouraging that such extraneous issues as the league question are to be taken out of the political situation at this time in order that we may concentrate on the hard times issue. Senator George (Dem., Ga.)—l am gratified to see him take that position. He is entirely correct in saying that the league is not and ought not to be a vital question in the campaign. Senator King <Dcm„ Utah)—lt is a wise statement. I always have been an ardent supporter of the league and I think the people were influenced by propaganda and an appeal to prejudices in expressing themselves on it.

Right, Says Butler Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia university and a leading Republican, said: “As is usual when Mr. Baker makes a statement on public affairs, I find myself in complete agreement with him. No international policy can be effective, or even helpful, if it is the outgrowth of internal party differences and dissension. To be constructive and to endure, it must have behind it a great body of public opinion, regardless of parties. Frank L. Polk, undersecretary of state in the Wilson administration, said: "I thoroughly agree with Mr. Baker on the League of Nations question. I think it always is unfortunate to make any international friendship a partisan friendship. Colonel Edward M. House, confidential adviser to President Wilson during the 1919 peace conference, said: "I believe one of (he greatest drawbacks to the peace of the world was the refusal of the United States to join the League of Nations at the beginning. However, I agree entirely with Mr Baker’s statement.’* John W, Davis, Democratic presidential candidate in 1924, said: "I am entirely in agreement with Mr. Baker’s remarks.”

KNIFE-WAVING LAWYER LOSES IN HIGH COURT Slot Machine Convicts of Lafayette Are Refused New Trial. Although thei lawyer from Lafayette made a plea before justices of the supreme court waving a twobladed open jackknife while he talked, Lowell Brier and Jack Mahoney, Fountain county hoodlums, must stay in the reformatory for the next twelve years. For the high court found that Mark Thompson, the two-bladed jackknife lawyer from Lafayette, failed to get the appeal perfected in time prescribed by rules of the court. Denial of the appeal came as a personal victory for Merl M. Wall, deputy attorney-general, who had brought down the original conviction. Wall was on hand when the argument was held to reinstate the case before the court in the conference room Tuesday afternoon. A feature of the evidence was the

fact that two affidavits were presented, both signed by Prosecutor John L. Ocheltree of Fountain county, giving the dates of Feb. 25 and May 6, 1931. as dates upon which he signed papers giving notice of appeal. The first date affidavit, Feb. 25, was signed for Wall and the second, May 6, for Thompson. Ocheltree, who walks with crutches, came from Covington to aid in untangling the affair. He explained the varying affidavits on the grounds that his office twice was robbed of papers and he had no records in the case. ' The court listened to all stories. Finally Justice Clarence R. Martin Warned Thompson that the knife he was waving during his talk probably was in violation of the law. So Thompson put the knife away. Counsel retired and soon the court concluded that Feb. 25 was the correct date and Thompson had failed to live up to the sixty-day requirement. The plea was dismissed. Brier and Mahoney were found guilty of robbery with arms. With a third gangster, Tony Mahoney, they tried to control a slot ijiachine racket by destroying competition at the point of guns. Baltzell to Return Friday Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell will return to Indianapolis Friday from Chicago, where he is filling a temporary vacancy in the United States circuit court of appeals.

MINE WORKERS DEMAND RUM LAW’SJEPEAL Brand It Failure; Call for Enactment of Old Age Legislation. (Continued from Page 1) Vice-President Philip Murray, $9,000, and Secretary-Treasurer Thomas Kennedy, $9,000. Widespread executive appointments by Lewis also are subject to condemnation. Indications today were that a heated fight will be launched on the convention floor against the alleged “dictatorship,” which has been a subpect of caustic comment and continual criticism for years. The prohibition repeal resolution introduced by the Nokomis (111.) local declared that: The eighteenth amondment partially is responsible for the present unemployment. Sufficient liquor is manufactured illicitly to keep anybody from an unfulfilled craving.

The nation, towns and cities derive no benefits such as license fees

and revenues from the sale of the illicit beverage. Inasmuch as prohibition is a proved failure, that the senators and representatives be petitioned to vote for its repeal. The old age pension resolution sets forth that inasmuch as thirteen states have adopted such laws, and j today there is a greater need than ever to provide for such poor: therefore, the convention pledge itself to help further the movement. History of the passage and vetoing of the old-age pension bill in Indiana by Governor Harry G. Leslie j is outlined in the report of the old-! age pension committee to the convention. A balance of $563,559.07 in the treasury of the international is set ; forth in the report of the auditing : committee which was submitted to- i day. Removal of the constitutional | barrier against members of the union belonging to the Industrial Workers of the World, Communist j party, the Ku-Klux Klan or any! group “organized for the benefit of the working classes” is asked in a resolution introduced by the Westville (111.) local. The delegates accorded deep at- j tention to the reading of the joint | report of the international offi-1 cers, which advanced the follow- i ing recommendations for funda- j mental changes in the industry: 1. A six-hour day, with a five- i day week. 2. Permanent regulation of bitu-1

minous coal mining by a federal coal commission. “These are the only methods, in our opinion, whereby one of the most depressed industries in the nation can be rehabilitated,” the report said. Previous to 1928 the report pointed out, the union maintained an interstate wage agreement, which covered all bituminous mines operating under the organization. The policy was changed four years ago and as a result weaker districts of the union have been forced to accept modified wage rates substantially less than could be obtained by other districts, the report said. The proponents of a re-estab-lished interstate agreement received strong support from William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, in his address to the convention.
