Notwithstanding President Hirdlng'a plea that the dispute betwee meat packers and their employes be held In abeyanru the controversy can be reviewed until by the department of labor, both sides were proceeding today along- lines of action already laid down. At the headquarters of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher "tt'orkman of Norh America etrike ballots printed yesterday were being mailed out to the 400 local unions throughout the United States. At the office's of the big packers here plans were going forward on schedule for putting- Into operation on Monday the reductions in wages and the changes in hours of labor that were announced last week. These charges will effect 200,000 workmen in all parts of the United States. Tfce strike ba'lot being sent out from union Headquarters asks: "Do you favor and authorize a strike in the event that the government or our organization Is unable to induce the packer to maintain the eight-hour day in compliance with th-A agreement entered into with the Unit td States department of labor." It is expected that the result of this referendum w ill be known by "Wednesday of next week. Even eonscrvatlve union leaiers express me lhj.ihoh that the verdict of the -workers will sanction a strike. Representatives of the butchers' and allied unions will meet Irn- Chicago nxr. Wednesday to perfect plans for co-operation with outside unions in the event an agreement Is not reached with the packerB. Samuel Gsmpers has been asked to preside over this mting.

Hammond's Wonder Theatre Is Ready Dedicatory Opening of Splendid New Theatre Will Take Place on Monday Afternoon at Three P.M. With Best Program Ever Seen in City

t n jmm, Monday afternoon .will te the big event for which people of the Calumet region have been eagerly waiting for months, the opening of Indiana's fineBt and Hammond's largest theater. The Parthenon. Today, with the removal of the scaffolding and temporary housing from in front of the entrance and the ap pearance of the opening announcement on the Dig electric sign, the Parthenon became Hammond's leading topic of conversation and speculation. Many have already visited the theater as It neared completion and have spread 'he word of Its marvels broadcast. Scores today congregated In front of the doors to obtain a glimpse of the interior. When the theater was planned two things were striven for above everything lae. It must be made fireproof and the ventilation should be as near perfect as possible. These ends have Seen attained.' It !s fald that a bonfire could be started anywhere excepting possibly on the atage and It "would burn itself, out without doing further damage. Only a small amount of combustible material Is found on the stage not enough to make a real fire but the great steel curtain can be Instantly Interposed between the stage and the auditorium. One of the - first things -which Is noticed -by the visitor Is the ahsenee of steam radiators or other heating devices This Is "because warm air Is used in heating the place. All air wsed for ventilation is first, warmed to the desired temperature and 'then forced into the theater through hundreds of ducts In all parts of the building. Thus a gentle flow of fresh air ample enough t" provide a complete change In th entire' space before stagnation takes place. Is in constant circulation. It is the first Iheater in Indiana to have this ultra-modern equipment. No expense has been spared In providing for tire comfort of theater goers. Only by a visit to the Parthenon can an adequate ida be gained of the 'Sybaritic atmosphere. which has, been created by the soft carpets, deep chairs, comfortable settees, wall decorations and hangings, soft lighting and numerous little convenience ALLIES GRATIFIED No Fighting HOT FllCtiOn With Inhabitants of Oc cupied Towns BY WILLIAM COOK STAFF CORRESPONDENT I.

CIRCULATE UAL PETITIONS Petitions asking the city council of Hammond to authorize the erection of tie much discussed Memorial Athletic Park are being circulated today in all parts of the city and the number of nani'i attached is mounting rapidly. Any person, man or woman, over the age or twenty-one is eligible to sign and all are being approached. In a short time after the petitions were distributed yesterday more names had been secured than were on the or igin;! petition. Workers will continue to round up the signers until Tuesday afternoon. The main objection votcd is the ex pense which will rail upon the city but when it is explained that the- city -will only have to lend its credit for the en terprise after which the athletic park will maintain itselfaid retire its own bonds, this objection Is removed. Many say that If admission is to be charged to baseball games and like attractions, this will not work as a memorial to the soldiers and sailors. The plan as originally discussed provided that annual passes to all events at the park be gran cd to the soldiers and sailors of the city. However, the methods of conducting the park will ho left to the committee that the city eouncity and Circuit cou't judge appoint later. Several of the councilmen who were j instrumtneal in having the action on the ' original petition rescinded have now an- ' nounced they have changed their minds ! and will vote either In favor of the new j petition or to reconsider the vote, at the ; la.st meeting.

Runs For Office On Clear Record WALTER I". BIELEFELD Business ability. Strict guarding of the taxpayers' In. terest Uniform courtesy to all. Hundreds of thousands of dollars !n omitted property placed on tax lists. There are the outstanding features of Walter F. Bielefeld's administration ss treasurer of the city of Hammond. On his record embracing these points. Mr. Rielefeld is asking for re-elelction. His formal announcement as a candidate for the nomination, s'ihject to the primaries In May, hs mado today. .When Bielefeld ran for city treasurer !n 1917 he had a big advantage. It was his wide acq jaintance. He ha.i been a street car cor.ducfor for years and had made a host of friend. The manv peeving situations, which fret the average street car trainman never j "got under his hide." Wal'er J'!"'.! smiled and did his West and even the I chronic "crab?'' liked i.:ni. He early! learned the value of court d-y and ho j practiced It under the most trying con - ditions. j Tlvl training has stood hjni in good j stead since entering the treasurer's office. Of all places in Hammond this', is the leaef suited f or a man who 1 ' short on courtesy and cood nature, j Walter has them both and during thej trying years when Increasing tsxer, has made the office a regular bureau of complaints and when the city was having a hard tlm" meeting the payroll, he has pulled through with all of hi. eld friends intact and a ntat addition to the crowd. But a treasurer must have backbore with all of his good nature. Bielefeld has shown he possesses that too. Every so often when the rush W up. he and hl aides have .been going after property omitted when the assessors made their round.'. Putting this on the duplicates always means a pcrap, hut Walter has done it and won his fights He has brought many thousands of dollars into the city coffers, which woiuld not have heen there If he had not. been on the Job. He has thwarted several attempts to evade paying taxes and his cleaned up a bunch of delinquents. Three years ago h'js 6".ogan was "First and Only Desire to Serve" when he came before the voters and the spirit and letter of that eolgaa has guided his course as treasurer. He sees no reason for changing It now. His idea of a public official is that h Is a servant of the people to whom trust has been given and whose sacred duty is to give honest, efficient, courteous service in return for that confidence.

Question Arises As To Registration Of Indiana Voters.

7IVE5 P-JREAU AT STATE CA - ' T At.: INDIANAPOLIS. Ind., March 1; ; The question of whether there . 1. 1 have te. he a rt-g istr&i: of voi--i i prior to the spsclil election to be he'.'. 1 Sept. 6 when thirteen rropoc 1 1 i:r.endments to the stats constltu' i : r, ' u ill be acted upon e-y the people, j brought to the attention of tha v.- ! publican state committee, today. "' j was determined, however, what a p-u ; vision In the English law, provic:., -! Cor tha election, will eliminate ti. : necessity of having a registration of ; voters. i From present indications t.-.ere w j ho only two proprsed ar.-iendments on 1 which there will V.e . fight. These a.e the amendments providing that lu I legislation shall ba left to the JuJa- : ment of the assembly and the other (i ; the one which would enabi the !es.i iature to establish an income tax. Tiiers has been same douct !i; in--minds of many whether the a;nr.umenta will havo to be voted on majority of tha voters of the a.in order to paid, or merely to be accepted by a mijori'.y of the voting at the scrotal election, rroi.iInent attorneys who have etudkl ih .question assert that the supreme cou"; has held that a mere majority of tha voters at the special elect'.cr. will pis? an amendment even 1 this majority Is a small fraction of the total vet cait for the ssrrctary of state at th-"-last preceding e.ectlon. The English special election till expressly provides that a majority c ' the votes "cast nt the special election " shall determine the passasc cf nn amendment. It la possible that several cf t'l.t thirteen amenimer,t3 will die at thpoiis simply because of a lack of public Interest in t.T.m. For lnstanco I! the people center their attention -jrx the two amendments and demonstrate apathy towards tr.e rest of the ameac1mnts submitted, then It win fol.o -that the tot.il votcg cast for the t o tax amendments will control in ccmputing the toti! v.j!a s ui?t at t:..elrcicn. It is. theri-f.-r:. posi'de for such e.n amendment as one providing 1"the appointm.-nt of the state super . tendent of pui-oc lns'ructlon. r.i!?'-! receive more y, s" thtn "r " vand still n"t p'iss brrnuse it d d r . receive m-.-ro t! ii i.ti--! i i f of t;,c t... vote? can f ..r o;m oi' the .. i'r .j--.. i I in e n t s .

The proposed amendments are: 1. The first of the proposed a men iments is the one that makes the s'a'.e constitution comply with the federal amendment permitting wom-n to vote. This amenimcnt merely changes the constitution to read "every citizen tS the United States" instead cf "ir.a'.e" over the age of twenty-one vears. Th amendment will also prohibit alien from voting until they have compared their naturalization. 2. The iec5nd gives the leg-slamr power to classify cities scd rnt districts for the purjjoee of enacting law for the registration of voters. The theory behind this amendmes; ts that the rural d!st'-o;g and amiilljr towns need no j jglstration Jaw whereas It Is nece,3?ary In the cities. Tndr the present terms of the constltntton the election, and therefore, registration, laws must bfi uniform. 8. Amends Sections 4 and 5 of Article 4 of the constitution to llm'na,ta the necessity of taking an er.ume.j-. tion of male voters for the purpoao or apportioning legislative repreientatlon. The amendaicnt provides that the apportionmr-nt niuat be inaie each six years on the basis of the total number of votes! cs.st for the secretary of state at the election preceding th apportionment. Ihl3 will permit the coneideraf iua of male and female voters in making the apportionment. At present only jn voters are coalj. ered. 4.
