INDUSTRIAL "DEMOCRACY": DISCOUNTED

Sleepy Brown Co. Delegate Only One Who Votes "No" HAMMOSD MEX CANDIDATES RT Abbott, '.ect lead workers; John Mr, plumbers, and Henry Gabier. painters, are Lake Count y'-s cfundidateji for office in the build, in? trad- jnvfnt!cn election this afternoon. Abbott -was the oho ire or the Lake county delegation ' president at a caucus held shortly before the election. He will be placed in nomination agatn.st Ghas. W. Kern, of Indianapolis, the r'-" ent president. Mears is present vice-president and Henry G abler. secretary-tres-auTer. During Gaoler's term the cojac!' has built up a urplusi Ind ienp(j:i Is a-sktrig for the r.nt convention. Jaerfit Murrey, tvjstness a-rent of the brickis-yer majoris and t.le setters, local Xo. t. of Indianpoll. -won the oratorical honors of the annual ccnventioa of the State Bulling; Trades Cwccll toda-y in HanvrcorwiIt -was a grreat speech extemperarjous ejad full of Sre. Murray's Irish Arone and clenched &ata made it the more forceful. A resolution presented by a plumber's and te.amfltter's local had awikBd Han-ay from dreamy contemplation of Lhe curia of eruoko arising from the -bowl of hU pip. -ThorafoTe, be it revived, that we condemn the preer.t system of Industrial Autocracy and the establishment of Industrial Democracy In its staad," the chtlrman of the resolutions cornrr. ittee had read. Hurray was on his feet. "BY-WORD OF I. W. W." "I don't know what industrial democracy is." shouted Murray, "but I iioT enourh about its advocates' to be damned suspicious of it. It's the byword of the I. W. W. There may be titans the matter with this eminent but its the best one I know about and nobody seems to know what Industrial Democracy is, anyway. "e came here to attend to the business of the building trades of Ind'.aJia and not to pass resolutions favoring a change in the form of government. If someone presents a resolution favoring eoclal Justice. I'll vote for It. I know what social Justice means. But industrial democracy don't mean anything to me except a lot of damn fools wishing for the moon." "IXDCSTRIAL DEMOCRACY" DEFEATED Murray sat down, mopped his brow and inserted his thumbs under the shoulder straps of h'.s jufpsndew Then the cheering started. When it eubsided the resolution was voted down by acclamation. Only one delegate voted In favor of '.cdustrial democracy. He had been asleep during the reading of the resolution and Murray's speech. He was from Brown county. Having disposed of Industrial Democracy, the convention went in for a I.ttlo social Justice. There -n ere two d.sabled union men in the ha'.l who had been permitted to sell souvenirs end cigars. Under the inf.aence of Murray's reference to "soc.al Jjstlco" eomeone sruggested that it be put into practice. Chairman Kern favored the idia. "Here's a union miner with an arm -on and there's a blind steamfitter." Kern said. "The.se men made it possible for us to have this powerful orsjanization. They pacrii'.ced for us. They are Incapacitated. Now for a little social Justice. Pass the "vat." Til E V PASS THE HAT. It recjulre-d two hats to hold the rreenbacki and ftlver. The miner with one arm ar.d the blind steamfitter rectived a handjonio collection. The old gray-haired niinr wept unashamed and tthe labor delegates blinked their eye and courhed to conceal the emotion the touching- picture aroused. Murray's speech and the practical eiaxnpls of social Justice left the council In an agreeable mood. It's next action was the most important business of the convention. By a unanimous vote the convention r,d Tptod a resolution calling upon all boilding trades locals in the state to appotot gvermajnont arbitration comrnitteas to meet at stated intervals with committers of the same s.ze repmssating their smpioyers. "This is a move to prevent building tie-uip and idleness m:ch as we have exjrienced in this state this spring." said H. C- "Wiiljams, Indianapolis, chair man of the resolutions committee. "In the paet arbitration has come at a time when both sides were mad. These arbitration ocrrrmit tee? of employes and employers wo-uid be instructed to meet at regular intervals to consider questions as they arise and not wait until the-v become grievances. It means that the employer and the employee will always ! in communication. It Is intended to prevent strikes and ws1 "touts." The resolution in substance, follows: Be it rtsolvod that the Indlrna State Pullding Trades Council hereby go on rcord as recommending to each of the several crafts row affiliated that they

The chief interest is '.r. the two tax amendments itains. which there is a vigorous movement under the direction of the Indiana Taxpayers' Protective Association of which Rep. J, D. Miltcnberger. of Munctie, is secretary. a signifi.ar.t feature is that party iinos have beer, discarded. While two republican legislatures pse.cl the resolutions for the arr.endmtnti and also put through the law- for a special election the republican state orgaj-.i-Zition "washed its hands'' so to speak of all of the amendments. The cemoi ratio state committee opposes the -'wide open" amendment permitting the legisiafure to "provide a system of taxation by law" but it n not participating in the campaign Thus the voters i-re left free cf party influences which, it is held. is the proper situation as tho amendments are n-n -poll ileal . Rep. Miltcnberger has arranged fo" more than two score of meetings f-r the close of the campaign. Ex-Governor S. M. Ralston will speak at Krownstow-n. V.noermes.

Mr. Ralston and Mr. Sims ara hold.ng that the "wide ojin" amendment would destroy constitutional limitations s-, that the leg.sUtuie would b-free-handed in passing tax laws. They insist as do other leading men that the adoption of the "wide open" a.T.r.eimfr.t.
