PEACE PREVAILS IN THE HOOSIER STATE .There Is No Disturbance of Consequence Among the Labor Interests. INDUSTRIES SHOW GROWTH rTHERE HAVE BEEN BUT TWO STRIKES PRESENTED TO THE INDTANA-, j LABOR i COMMISSION THIS SUMMER. Indianapolis, Sept. 2. Labor day in Indiana Is ushered in with .peace having prevailed since the first of the year. Voluntary advances in wages on the part of employers has had much- to do, Is reported, with warding off labor demonstrations. Industries show a marked increase, oth In Improvement and establishment. Many of the Hoosier cities have added new factories and plants to heir lists, which have introduced hundreds into their population. Celebrations which have heretofore knarked the festivities of the holiday nave -in the majority of cases been Abandoned by Indiana communities ind In most cities the day was spent luletly. According to the members of the In rtlana Labor Commission, there are no labor troubles of any consequence in Indiana at the present time. The locknut at Tell City is still on and the commissioners are making an effort to settle the difficulty there. "But two strikes have had our attention this summer," said Commissioner George W. Purcell. "One of these, the Kvansville street car strike, was settled by compromise, practically resulting in a victory for the strikers. The fcaen gained an increase of 2 cents per Jiour and shorter hours. At Elkhart a number of boiler makers, employed by the Lake Shore, struck because of their objection to the introduction of piece work. The management promised, to remove piece work from the shops and Ahe men returned to work. Report of Commission. "A gratifying phase of the industrial situation In Indiana is the infrequency rwith which demands for wage reductions have been a controlling motive Jn disputes. Where demands for re ductions have been a chief incentive Jt has been found to be almost entirely among the unorganized and the un skilled workmen. In view of the fact that In towns and cities (especially where different craftsmen are found in considerable numbers) skilled workjnen,are organized, the terms "unorganized" and "unskilled" are practically synonymous ones. With the skilled workmen, annual contracts as to wages and working conditions are the almost invariable substitute for the strike and lockout. But with the unorganized and unskilled the condition is different. Without the protection which organization gives, resort must be had to individual bargaining or force, either in the attainment of advanced wages or resistance against reductions. But it can be safely estimated that of the two classes, those who secure favorable wage conditions through private bargaining, as compared with the underpaid, the ratio stands at about 1 to 100. Hence it can le readily seen why the strike is reported to. There is abundant evidence to prove that where employers and employes meet on anything like qual terms settlements are speedily tnade. "The clamor for the 'open shop' has not figured largely in labor disputes during the last two years; occasionally however, it has been found one of the factors entering into settlements. To what extent the idea has taken hold of employers can not be safely approximated from the viewpoint of this commission, nor does the question concern It, ex'cept only in so far as it becomes a controversial matter requiring official interposition." The Indiana Labor Commission was created In 197. The present commissioners are George W. Purcell of Terre Haute, who succeeded Ll iP. McCorrnack May 9 last, and Charles F. Woerner, who is serving his second term. EXPECT A TEST OF LAW. Decision of Judge Irvin in Full-Crew Law to Be Appealed.

Among the most enjoyable features of the Chautauqua thia year were the numerous informal social events in the various camps.

Ilagerstown, Ind., Sept. 2. Newton Abrell section man in Chas. Keye s crew was very painfully injured Satur day evening. As a through freight was passing the section men a lump of coal as large as a man's head flew out striking Abrell on the leg, breakins: or fracturing a small bone two inches above the ankle. He was taken to the office of Dr. Stotlemeyer where the injured limb was taken care of. This is another example of how fast the trains are allowed to run through the corporate limits of the town. This freight was said to have been going at a terrific speed and would have probably caused Abrell's death if the coal had struck him on the head. As it is he will be layed up for Quite a while.

PLAY SKIN GAME AT GLEN MILLER PARK Claude Pettibone Complains That He Was Made an Innocent Victim. BEAT ON A SURE THING. HOWEVER IT TURNED OUT THAT THE SURE THING WAS UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE OTHER FELLOW. Claude Pettibone, a young man, was the victim of a new "skin game" Sunday afternoon at Glen Miller. After Pettibone had been relieved of $3.00 he awoke to the fact that he had been played for a "sucker," and immediately started out to revenge himself on the perpetrators of the alleged fraud. Pettibone reported the matter to the police. He stated that four young men were implicated in the game. Pettibone stated that one'of them ap proached him while seated on a bench. Soon the three others came up. One produced a mallet, in the handle of which was hollowed a place which contained a penny. This place was skilfully concealed. After all the plotters had left but one, who kept the mallet, he pretended finding the concealed penny and removed it. After the three young men had returned, one of tnem offered to bet that there was a penny in the mallet. One offered to bet $1.00 that there was not. -Pettibone had seen the penny removed, so he bet $3.00. One of the conspirators then took the mallet, shook it so that a penny concealed In the head of the mallet slid through a groove Into the recess in the handle. He then showed the penny and collected ' the money which was later divided among ' thtf four. '-.,.-.;; 'S.f City and County STATISTICS. Contagion. Mary Goebel, 434 South Tenth street, typhoid fever.

REPORTS INDICATE GENERAL PROSPERITY 150 Out of 240 State Banks Comply With Law. EXAMINES PRIVATE BANKS. Reports from 150 of the 240 state banks in Indiana that have been received at the office of the state auditor show that conditions throughout the state are better than they have ever been. The reports Indicate prosperity in all classes for the reason that the banks are having diffi culty in making loans. "For the most part the state banks are In a very prosperous condition." said It. B. Oglesbee, chief bank clerk in the state auditor's office. "The reports received thus far show .arge deposits and small demand for loans. The banks are all having trouble placing their money. The demand for money is less now thun it ever has been. in proportion to the population. Merchants, clerks, business men, manufacturers, workingmen and ' In fact men, of all classes, are depositing money Instead of borrowing It."
