STRIKE HERE

Organizers Say Thousands Will Respond To Call Despite Wage Increase

Arrangements for a gigantic strike of steel workers at Kast Chicago, Indiana Harbor and Chicago Heights is being made by organizers for the Amerlcan Federation of Labor. The strike is to b called next Sunday,. according to Kmmet Flood, who has been organizing the steel workers for several weeks. He 'was sent to Chicago In November to begin an organizing campaign. He declared yesterday that he ,had been so successful that it was now possible to set a date for a general strike. During the day he telegraphed Frank Morrison, secretary of the American ' Federation of Labor, who is conducting the strikes against the American Steel & Wire Co. plants Sn Rankin and Braddoek. Pa., that the time is ripe for a strike JSiere. Flood has been organizing the employes of the Inland Steel Co. and Kepublic Iron & Steel Co. in those three cities. The United States Steel Corporation has no plants in East Chicago, Indiana Harbor or Chicago Heights. Hut Flood and his assistants believe

that if they can call tne employes of the Republic Iron & Steel Co. out, the thour,nds of workmen in the steel corporation's plants at Gary and South Chicago will follow. The recent increase In wages granted the employes of the steel corporation may some influence on their action. Pittsburg. Pa.. Feb. 4. That the

TAGGART BUILDS FIRE

UNDER THE LEGISLATURE

TIMES BIRE.U. AT STATE CAPITAL.

Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 3. Thomas

""'"V-x Taggart has at last succeeded in . -l.,-buWlng-a firs" under the Indiana leg

islature, and it looks now like something, may be done that will be worth . while. The Spencer public utilities bill is to be pBaed by the house either next AVednesday or Thursday and sent to the senate, where it will have a hard row to hoe among the corporation senators. This bill has been definitely decided on by the leaders as the one that shall be put through. The ShVvfely bill, whlc his practically the same bill as the Spencer bill, is to be sidetracked for It. Thus Shlvejy will lose the honor of having hls.Jiame attached to" the public utilities' law. and this hurts his pride.

rlt is figured that the Spencer public j eral days ago announced himself un-

Utilltles bill will pass the house by a equivocally in xavor oi mai pian, ana . vote of about of about 85 to 15, and said that no friend of his would oppose

. another set for the congressional conS ventlon, and so on down the line for all of the other conventions. This is the idea of Thomas Taggart,. who says he Is not. In favor of state-wide primaries for nominations, because this would give the' big cities an advantage ov.er

the country districts. He said that under a state-wide primary it would be easy to nominate a full ticket from the large cities, such as Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, South Bend and Evansvllle, and that ths would not be fair. He

pointed to the fact that under a statewide primary law In Illinois, all of the nominees' for state offices came from Cook county. It Is said, too, that the new. primary bill will not contain any provision for the advisory nomination of a United States senator, although Taggart ev-

auditor. This also will be an admin-I

1st ration measure , and will be put

through by the Taggart combine In the two houses unless its foot slips.

The bill to amend the corrupt prac

tices act so as to give politicians and

political organizations a little more leeway in the spending of money also will be rushed through. This bill pass

ed the house last Tuesday by a vote of 98 to 0, and It Is said that It will have

no trouble in sliding through the sen

ate.

A blue sky law will be passed, but It will be In a new bill that will take the place of those now before the house, according to the leaders of the machine. This bill will be Introduced in a day or two, they say, and It will be an administration measure. The Keegan bill to regulate the sale of cocaine and other hablt-formlng drugs will come from the committee on medicine and health In the house today with a report for passage. The bitterest kind of a fight is being made

on this bill by doctors over the state, because the bill does not give the enforcement of the law and the handling of the money which It appropriates over to the state board of health Instead of the state pharmacy board. In fact, the jealous scrap 'carried on ,by

the doctors, abetted by the manufacturing chemists who want to kill any attempt to regulate the dope traffic has reached such a point that Governor Ralston has served notice publicly that he will not permit any state employe to make any effort to defeat good legislation on this subject. The fact is that the doctors are misrepresenting the bill to the public for

the purpose of creating sentiirgmt against It. They are saying that the bill as it stands would prevent the doctors from prescribing morphine cocaine or any other poisonous drug to a patient, even in an emergency case. The Keegan bill would not do anything of the kind. In fact, no law could be passed by any legislature not even by congress that would take away from a physician the right to prescribe any remedy he saw fit to prescribe or administer to his pat fen t. This , bill would not affect the legitimate doctor who gives these drugs for legitimate use in legitimate cases, but It would reach; out and seize the Illegitimate, crooked doctor who gives out dope to persons 'who are habitual users of It. It would put a stop to the Illegal traffic in these drugs, and that is all It would do. No reputable physician could object to that. It has been noted here that there Is

a great uproar among the physicians

of South Bend against the Keegan bill,

and some of them are telling the people

that if this bill Is passed a doctor, that

is called in the country to see a patient could not administer morphine unless the patient himself went to a drug store, probably ten miles away, and got the drug himself on a prescription of the physician. This whole uestlon has been submitted to Attorney General Honon and he has given his official opinion that the bill would not in any manner interfere with the physician In prescribing or administering any drug 'or remedy at any time to, any patient anywhere, but U wuli limit the. use of the drugs

to the, legitimate practice of the physician. . It is regarded here as strange that this kind of a fight should be made against the bill at South Bend, where some of the worst conditions ever found in this state were unearthed a few months ago.

Sergeant Hughe. sof the Indiana Har

bor station this, mprning declared that the police know the identity of the man who was with Jotrn Popa the night he

shot and killed John Mackries at the

cofner of Parish and Michigan avenues

Officer John Lazaar, a Roumanian of which nationality all parties to the tragedy were, has been detailed to the

case and is giving all his time to fol

lowing clews which may lead to th

arrest of the companion of the man who

did the shooting. While he is not the principal in the case, the police believe

that once he is safe behind the bars,

they will b able to locate Popa, the murderer. In the meantime they have the other man so -closely shadowed that they have every confidence In encom

passing his arrest within a day or two.

believing it is only a question of time

and patience before this can be accom

pished. It Is intimated that his hiding

place is not very far from Indiana Har

bor, if indeed It Is not withtn the city,

but the police are withholding definite information as to his identity and his

place of concealment, lest the publlca

tton of these details frustrate the end

of Justice.

The trouble .was .tne result of a re

mark passed to Mackries by the man

believed to have been Popa, as he and

a companion passed Mackries on th

sidewalk.. -Mackries had a violin and the man who afterwards shot him told

him to put the lpstrument In the case and keep still.' Mackries foHowed the

pair and grabbed one of them' by. the coat, telling his own companions with whom he had been standing, to "come on." The man he had hold of, drew a revolver and shot Mackries through the heart.
