Police estimated 15.000 persons filed through the hall during the evening. Officials of the American Federation of Full-Fashioned Hosiery Workers planned to inform the na- | tional labor board at Washington todav that members of the Philadelphia union had agreed to negoheir demands with manufacturers.* rather than participate in a general, strike originally planned - for Friday.

Sept. 2—More than 800 lowa coal miners In two communities launched a frontal attack for a thirty-hour week and a $5 day today, laid down their tools and said they would not return to work until an NRA code is signed. Nearly 600 miners .were on strike : t Williamson. la., near Chariton, while 300 others struck near here. The Williamson group, which tied up coal mining at the Rock Island Improvement Company mine No. 3 and the Central lowa Fuel Company mine No. 5, drafted an appeal to Recovery Administrator Hugh S. Johnson, protesting delay in signing the coal code, and called on other lowa miners to join them in a walkout. The immediate result was a strike of 100 employes of the Central Service Company, Des Moines, and 200 of the Norwood-White Coal Company. Des Moines, shutting mines belonging to those companies. The strikers hoped to enlist several thousand other lowa miners today. Bolstered by this success, the Williamson group launched an outright appeal to Illinois. Kentucky and other mid-west coal mine workers to add their force to the strike and thus force operators to sign an NRA code. Sam Ballvntine, president of the lowa Coal Operators’ 'Association, charged the strikers with violating the blanket code and existing labor contracts, and said the operators would "stand pat.” against the strikers.

CADETS PLAY PART OF GENERALS

West Pointers Direct War Game, Get Real Training,

Thti l th* iew>nd of i uriii of r---tlrl- b > eorrosoondent, who w>eomp&nied th* rad-ta in tho Sold, oti ho* the Wort Point radota are bein* trained In war manenrera. BY WILLIAM D. O’BRIEN Times Special Writer WEST POINT, Sept. 2 —Battle Monument, estimated by tourists, known throughout the world in picture, last goal of every West Point Cadet —in front of it he receives his diploma—gleamed dully high over the Hudson in the dreary chil l soon after dawn. Past its historic rise on Trophy Point clupped-clupped horses, artillery wheels rumbled, howitzers and trucks, tractors and field kitchens rounded the rows of silenced guns and the feet of men in rifle and machine gun companies likewise patted past. AH were moving up to the front. Across the river tit was pretended* a brigade was encamped, prepared to march next day on Monroe, twenty miles away, where enemv forces were concentrating. The First battalion *the pretense continued) was detached from the brigade the night before, and reinforced by Battery As artillery detachment and one heavier platoon. was sent across the river with certain orders. The First battalion and reinforcements comprised some 600 seniors and third classmen of the United States Military Academy—and these cadets marched and trotted and rode by Battle Monument at the beginning of one of the most extensive and exacting war games ever plotted at West Point. Academy officers planned the maneuvers in emphasizing the notion that an officer's value to his army and country is enchanted by an understanding of the viewpoint of the enlisted men he shall one day command. This may be gained, it is believed officially, by requiring a cadet training for a commission to perform every task of the enlisted man on the march and in the field. Some hours before the battalion was on the road Major Dennis E. McCunniff, chief umpire of the maneuvers, stepped out of his role as a tactical officer of the academy. He appeared as a messenger, supposed to come from the headquarters of the brigade assumed to be in camp across the Hudson, before cadets who had been chosen as commanding officers for the first day’s maneuvers. tt a * THE major told them of the brigade commander's message directing the battalion to take and hold the western exit of the pass over Bull mountain east of Highland Mills to cover the crossing of the brigade on the morrow. Cadet officers consulted, studied maps and planned their first day’s advance. Then, under command of Cade f Paul Burlingame, battalion commander, two rifle companies, a machine gun company, a howitzer platoon, a battery of artillery and a headquarters company moved past Battle Monument. Traveling rough Pipe Line trail, dodging tree stumps, rocks and other encumbrances planted to discourage curious automobilists.

Seating ! Season to Open Here Riverside Park Makes Big Plans to Entertain Crowds. Sunday afternoon there will be a balloon ascension at Riverside amusement park, it is announced, and on Monday, Labor day, the fare on all the rides and other fun and thrill devices will be cut to 2 cents, the holiday bargain rate to prevail from noon until midnight. Riverside has been host to a number of big industrial picnics this summer and the management has decided to climax the outing season by sponsoring a picnic under auspices of the park itself. No tickets of any kind will be required, it is announced. Following are the devices which mav be enjoyed on Labor day at the 2-cent fare: The thriller, flash, old mill, pretzel, fun castle, aerial swing, mill chutes, whip, dogdem, auto speedway, tipsy town and the motorboats. The skeebaU alleys also will be operated at the bargain rate, it is announced. Tonight will mark the close of the voting contest for “Dance Queen" at the Riverside dance palace. and it is expected an immense crowd will be on hand for the final canvass of votes. Viola Kinley has piled up a big lead as the candidates come down the home stretch this week, and it appears that little short of a miracle can prevent her from romping under the wire as the 1933 dance queen of Indianapolis. The regular roller skating season will open tonight at the Riverside rink, with band music and a number of special faeatures to make the occasion a gala event. MANY CITIES GIVEN UTILITY RATE CUTS Smaller Communities Benefit by Commission Order, More than 200 cities, towns and communities will be benefited byutility rate reductions totaling $96.000 a year, ordered by the public service commission, effective Friday. Most of the reductions affect smaller communities and a majority are small savings effected by agreements negotiated by Sherman Minton. public counsellor. The reductions involve electric, water, gas and telephone companies. Most telephone companies in the state have agreed, according to Minton. to abide by the commission order against the Indiana Bell Telephone Company, eliminating the 25 cent* monthly extra charge for handset telephones after customers havt paid a maximum of $6 for jrean.

the battalion —the Blue forces—left the reservation and reached the paved smoothness of Central Valley road. Ahead of it had gone some eime before an infantry company and a machine gun company, also composed of cadets. This was the enemy—the Red force. The cadet commanding officers of this force had orders to proceed toward West Point, reconnoiter the Bull Mountain Pass and delay the Blue forces. The morning was chilly, but the trudging cadets found the going welcomely warm under rifles weighing little more than nine pounds and field packs containing a trench tool, a half of a shelter tent, a black poncho, toilet articles, a change of underwear and socks and emergency rations. 8 8 8 A FEW hours out of West Point the first flat popping of rifles was heard by the Blue advance guard among the trees topping the long, open, grassy slope that dipped down from Round Pound, hidden by thick grass.

.THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

The enemy had opened fire. “Contact” had been made. A cadet leaned unsteadily against the field ambulance. “I lost my breakfast a spell back,” he reported. “It’s all I can do to walk.” Major William S. Prout, medical officer, galloped along, his Negro orderly trailing. The set of the major’s lips seemed to indicate that if here were a malingerer he would be sent ahead forthwith to take his part in the march and fighting. The pale cadet, however, was ordered back to the hospital. The enlisted ambulance driver, streaking for the military reservation, memory quickened by sight of cadets solemnly advancing against a make-believe enemy, recalled the time sixteen years ago when he sent real bullets from machine guns against a real enemy. The first cadet to return had not feigned illness to escape days of hiking, nights in camp. Major Prout’s roadside diagnosis was confirmed. The cadet was operated on that night for appendicitis.

A cadet commanding officer in the Blue advance guard called an order from a screened lane off Central Valley road at the bottom of the slope whence had come the first defiant sound of enemy rifles. A regular army officer, acting as umpire, was nearby on a restless horse. The cadet, however, gave his own orders, took full responsibility himself for sending his command against the enemy. He may, some other morning, face at some other hill a hostile force that actually seeks the lives of the men behind him. The tactical officer permitted him to use his own judgment. It was part of the renewed insistence at West Point on a type of training that drills a cadet to be a leader by actual participation in a situation that demands fast thinking in the field. A cadet crouched behind a parked automobile called: “Where do you.want me to go?” He was left to figure it out for himself. There were cries of: “Lower! Get down!” And cadets went up the slope toward enemy rifles, ran beside the protection of a stone wall in the by-lane, and the rain started to fall in the first shower of a drenching series that descended almost without interruption on the warriors for four days. a tt tt THE Blue advance guard deployed and worked around the flank of the Red force, outflanked It, drove it back, but not without having been delayed considerably. Falling back about a mile, the enemy took up anew position, near the Bull Mountain pass, objective of the day’s engagement, was driven back again. The Blue advance then established radio communication with the artillery and plodded up the pass to camp in a field softening mushily in the rain. The pass, curving from the highway at a narrow’ opening, was called Breakneck road with reason. It rises steeply and curves dizzily, flanked close by trees and shrubbery and looming rocks. Field kitchens, supply wagons, artillery pieces, horses moved up w’ith difficulty. a tt n A CADET on an uneasy horse waited at one sharp turn. He pointed to a dull gray mass on a wet, swinging bough over the narrow way. “Look out for the hornet’s nest,” he called as the trucks, stopping often, and the horses, resting more frequently, drew near, The pass seemed made to order to fit in with the new program for training future officers to handle every problem of the field under adverse conditions so they might have the key to any future problem, no matter w’hat the obstacles. All equipment reached the top of the mountain finally as the rain quickened in the brewing of a record storm. Backs were bent to the drudgery of making the first camp, but mud and water and labor did not dim the shouted appreciation: “The kitchens and food got here!” (To Be Continued.)

COUNTY COUNCIL CUTS PENSION FUNDFOR AGED $125,000 Is Lopped Off to Reduce Tax Levy by 2 Cents. Despite arguments of county commissioners, the Marion county council lopped $125,000 off the proposed appropriation of $400,000 for old-age pensions In Marion county. The cut. reported today by Dow Vorhies. county cdmmissioner, reduced the county levy 2 cents. Several councilmen battled to reduce the appropriation one-half, or to $200,000, but compromised on $275,000, when commissioners protested the excessive slash. Formal sessions of the council will begin Tuesday for consideration of the budget. Protests Start Tuesday Taxpayers desiring to protest increases in the tax rate and budget boosts will be heard beginning Tuesday. The formal meetings are expected to consume the entire w r eek, while the council attempts to lower the tax rate from 76 cents to 50 or 55 cents. Vorhies declared that the council viewed with favor the $74,000 increase in the commission’s own budget for food and maintenance of county institutions. Rising prices were held as responsible for the increased cost of operating county institutions. May Borrow Money In cutting the old age pension appropriation, the county will depend on borrowing money if necessary to make payments until the state pays its one-half of the estimated cost of the pension. By permitting a $275,000 appropriation to be levied upon taxpayers, it is hoped that in two or three years a reserve fund will be raised so that it will not be necessary for the county to borrow- money while aw-aiting the state funds. Return of superior court judges from vacations is expected to bring about formal protests against failure to raise salaries of bailiffs and court reporters. The council is said to be aligned against any salary increases or expansions of any character in county offices. CONVOCATION IS SET Professor Schutz to Be Speaker at Manchester College.

Bernard Bitterman By United Pres* SEATTLE, Sept. 2.—Bernard Bitterman, 27-year-old department store executive, was recovering in a hospital here today from amnesia which caused his strange disappearance from Denver, Aug. 24, and led to kidnaping reports. On learning his identity late Friday night, Bitterman telephoned relatives in Denver. His brother-in-law was due here today from Vancouver, B. C., to take charge of the sick man. The man, .whose disappearance brought a wide police search on the theory that he had been kidnaped by persons who mistook him for a wealthy store owner, approached two policemen in downtown Seattle Friday. “Where am I?” he asked the officers. “Who am I?” Police took him.to city hospital. After medical attention he said: “I’m Bitterman of Denver.’’
