COUNTY WILL GIVE G. 0. P. Propoganda Stories Stir publicans To New Drive Efforts. ReINDIANAPOLIS, Ind... Oct :s. i Propaganda circulated through the medium cf certain Indiana dailies by; p litical -writers to the. effect that the! Iloosler stats might ba classed in the doubtful column, although positively j erroneous, has had a wonderful effect among the Republican worke.s throughout the sta, according to reports received at the capital. OVER-CONFIDENCE A MALADY. In a state like Indiana over-confidence Is a serious malady. Yet it must be acknowledged that in some sections : of the state the Republican workers j were gettlns to the point where they j were beginning to rest on their oars because the Republican wave, both in tne state and In the nation, is so pro-1 n junced. HOW DO THEY GET THEM. It Is well known in political circles in Indianapolis how these rational newspaper correspondents obtained tl eir Incorrect views relative to the. i situation In the state. It is common' 'slp that these writers, who have In! t',13 past been fairly reliable in theirj observations, were imposed en when tiny visited Indiana to stud the proficss of the campaign. FUESH STEAM IP. But, nevertheless, when their manifestly incorrect views were printed, the lagging workers began to put renewed steam into the campaign. It is related that the Republican workers of Lake county were gre'atly stirred by the report cf one of these writers that fiie county in the Calumet would probebl go Democratic. The fact Is that toe Democrats in Lake county have such little hope tha,t they have not fven put up a complete county ticket. tContir-ued t - page rive) Tightening Of Labor Conditions Report That Inland Steel Co. at Harbor Plan Return to 12-hour Shifts A general tightening of Industrial conditions in the Twin Cities with a few more men being lard off each day, a larger number of unemployed on the streets, a slotv ItCJux of labor lrom ; "fc.u ilcago and eastern cities has given vise to the conjecture among many or the business men and workingmen that a general re-organization of industrial conditions will occur soon. The most persistent reports "f change emanate from employes of the Inland Steel Company at Indiana Harbor where for the past year and a half the company has worked three eight hour shifts. Other steel industries or the district are still operating on the twelve hour shift basis while only a few of the smaller plants are on a ten hour basis. The Inland Steal, it may fl?o be noted. Is the only industry In the district to make any great reuuetlon In their working force. Reports from the Inland employes re to the effect that the Inland offlrials are nowpianning to return to the change may be expected at any time now. Although a year ago such a re port would have aroused much excitement and Indignation among the workingmen there is a different feeling at the present time and not one in fifty raise any obejetion to the rumored change. There has always been an element mong the teel workers who prefer the twelve hour day to an eight hour day because it pays them more money but those who really want the eight hour day seem to take the stand, "It. they want to change they will change." There is also the Impression, especially because of the recent lay-offs, mat those who are still on the Job, are lucky to have a Job even If U is a twelve hour one. The Inland, however, Is not the only industry which has a trend toward longer hours. Other Industries of the Tw in Cities which have been working on a basic eight hour day are gradually putting the men on ten hours work. These men are raid time and a half for all over eight hours but there Is a belief that It Is only a matter of time .mill tho tnrii.ctr. o . ,,!-' ten h; ; . will be decreased without decreasing , . j ... . . , . the basic pay. Another indfeation of the tightening which has been apparent since the flrsti large lay-off at the Inland is seen in j toe rt-jic'iii' ui con names w nieji snow a substantial increase in the amount ot savings deposited during the past few months.

JIM WATSON DAY IN CO.

its V

Onator James E. Watsoa. This is Jim "atson day in Iike county. He w;l speak in a doieu places and elope with big meetings in Ttammend and "Whiting. In his speech last night at South Bend h pleaded for the election of a republican adMinistration to be in charge when j the tariff Is revised and assorting that the preservation of the American wage sca'e demands republican revision. He blamed the president's Mexican policy for Germany's confidence that the Vn.ted States would not fight, which confidence. h averred gave btrt'.i to tn" German sea poncy. I winch drew this country into the v. orld conflict. In attacking the leasee -'f nations covencnt the senator criticised the pact as an Engilsh document and said America's supremacy in finance and footstuffs gives assurance that the covenant promised by the 'republicans nil! be accepted by Europe. NO CLUE TO After following up several good leads which promised to bring the desired result, only to meet with failure, the Hammond police now rind themselves without a clue as to the identity of the man who struck down Qeorga J. "Brown in the carnival crowd on Calumet avenue a week ago. Following the Identifying of the murdered man several witnesses weru found w"ho offered aid in solving the mystery. The Information furnished, appeared at flr.it to be such that speedy apprehension of Brown's stai!ant would follow. Other than that was a tail young man wearing a J , . . . . . , . , , fleckered cap. no description could be obtained of the man who .struck th: blow. That Brown hd had an altercation with his assailant over the winning of a basket of apples was disproved yesterday when it was learned that it was not rBown. but another man who argued over the possession of the apples with the man of the checkered cap and his companions. This mas has been located by the police. This leaves the police without any cause for the trouble between Brown and the stranger sunless, because of the similarity in appearance, he wa . I mistaken for trie nrst man when tliey I met him later near the Michigan Centrai crossing.
