FEAR RENEWAL OF MINE RIOTS Second Outbreak Guarded Against by Officers at Oakland City. By t nited Press PRINCETON, Ind., Sept. 29. A second outbreak of violence at Oakland City, where 500 union sympathizers terrorized nonunion employes of two coal mines Wednseday night, was feared today by Prosecutor Clarence Rumer. Many strange persons and automobiles appeared on the streets of Oakland City Thursday and Thursday night, indicating union miners from other coal fields in the area were joining local miners in their effort to drive out the imported nonunion workers, the prosecutor said. No major disturbances were reported but several workers of the Somerville and Francisco mines who were visited by the raiders Wednesday night packed and left Thursday afternoon. The prosecutor said he believed Thursday night's lull in activities was to allow all nonunion miners who desired to leave peacefully time to pack their belongings. Union men have charged that workers at the two mines, operated on a co-operative basis with employes sharing in the profits, were imported from western Kentucky coal fields. Whether a second request for national guard troops will be made depends upon further outbreaks, the prosecutor said. Major Earl Weimar has been on hand as observer for Governor Paul V. McNutt since Judge Dale Eby of Gibson circuit court asked the Governor to send troops etrly Thursday.

Direct Test of Strength Is Indicated by Action at Washington. By United Press WASHINGTON. Sept. 29.—The National Labor Board’s decision to attempt to mediate a strike of Ford Motor Company workers at Chester, Pa., today pointed toward a direct test of strength between Henry Ford and the Roosevelt administration. Board members considered the Ford situation delicate and serious. It was but one of a dozen major strikes requiring the board’s attention and involving more than 100,000 men. Telegrams arrived by the dozen asking the board to adjust disputes. Ford did not sign the automobile code. A direct showdown betweeii him and the NRA was averted on that scope when the NRA held he would be considered to be complying with its policies so long as he abided by th 6 code’s terms. The strike now has raised the issue of whether he will deal with the NRA in any way. Wagner Leads Moves Chairman Robert F. Wagner of the labor board decided to undertake direct negotiations with Ford officials in Detroit after Ford’s action in shutting down the Chester assembly plant blocked local mediation efforts there. Wagner attempted to communicate with Henry Ford by telephone this morning, but was informed by the manufacturer's office at Dearborn, Mich., that Ford was "out for the day.” Wagner said he would try again Saturday to get in touch directly with Ford. Wagner expressed confidence the board could adjust the dispute and get the plant reopened if Ford would permit it to arbitrate. He declined to say what his next move would be if Ford refused, but declared pointedly that the board had the “full force of the NRA behind it.” Grave concern was felt over the continued tie-up of Pennsylvania coal mines owned by the H. C. Frick Coal Cos., subsidiary of the giant United States Steel Corporation. Some NRA officials expressed apprehension over spread of the strike to the steel mills. Can’t Expect Miracle The Frick company has- not yet signed the bituminous code which becomes effective Monday. The NRA insists the code will apply regardless of whether the company signs, but miners fighting for recognition of their union declare they will not return to work until the company agrees in black and white to the provisions of the code guaranteeing them freedom to organize. Despite increasing strikes Wagner said he did not regard them as a “bad sign” for the NRA program. “Differences are bound to occur in such a tremendous social reorganization,” he said. "We can not expect to perform a miracle over night.” TRIO~ ROBS POSTOFFICE Woman in Gang Sought by Posse for S4OO Holdup Near La Grange. By United Press LA GRANGE. Ind..

BLAMES U. S. FOR HIGHWAY WORK DELAYS McNutt Charges lekes Is at Fault by Tight-Fisted Money Policy. ‘RED TAPE’ ASSAILED Indiana Ready for Months, Asserts Executive in Denying Charges. Governor Paul V. McNutt today cited the state highway commission record to show that Indiana was one of the first states to submit a highway construction program to the federal government and delay is at Washington, not here. The record. Governor McNutt said, will disprove the charge made by the national public works administration that Indiana is one of fourteen states which have delayed collection of federal funds for highway use. A Washington dispatch set out that the public works administration is displeased with the failure of the fourteen states to use the funds and is considering their withdrawal. Indiana's allotment is $10,037,843. Plan Was Developed As soon as the federal plan of full payment was announced, the state highway department developed a plan of expenditure, the records show. It provided for use of 47 per cent on state highways in the various counties, 48 per cent in cities and towns of more than 3,500 and 5 per cent on feeder roads. The program was sent to Washington for approval. Months passed, i First a county program was approved and bids for construction received. Three weeks ago, the cities program was given the federal o. k. But after the approval came from the federal public works administration, it was necessary to send detailed plans of each project back to the federal bureau of roads for final authorization. Assails “Red Tape” Governor McNutt pointed out I that this “red tape” is the real cause of delay and that much time I could have been saved, if the comS mission was permitted to proceed when the general plan had been approved. The “heat” on Interior Secretary | Harold Icke’s “close fisted” policy in carrying out the public works expenditure is blamed by state administration leaders for the delay in the entire public works construction program. Little of the cities work will be done before spring since approval of plans have not yet come from Washington, according to Chairman James Adams of the highway com- | mission. This program was the largest submitted by any state, it was said. I v FAUCET PROVIDED WINE AT GOLF COUR.SE HOLE Hose Led to Vat From Which Beverage Had Been Missed. By United Press STOCKTON, Cal..
