PRECAUTION IS . TAKEN AGAINST STRIKE DISORDER

Police to Guard Against Further Stone-Throwing One Arrest is Made. , As an aftermath to disorderly conduct Wednesday evening, the police and officials of the Richmond Malleable Castings company took precautions Thursday to prevent further trouble. The disturbance arose from the Importation of strike breakers from Chicago. Two special policemen were sworn in by the police commissioners and are stationed Inside the foundry. According to one of the strikers, the trouble yesterday arose over the importation of about fifteen strike breakers from Chicago. The strikers returned to their work following an agreement Monday with the foundry officials, but found nonunion men at work. They walked out again. Wednesday night, the imported workmen, who were staying at the Arlington hotel, were molested by the strikers and the police were called for. The police had some difficulty to control the crowd that collected outSide the hotel, several stones were thrown at the strike breakers. On an affidavit filed by Frank Shellln, assistant superintendent of the castings company, Arthur Kilner, a moulder, was arrested for provoke and brought Into police court Thursday morning. Shellln alleged that Kilner called him a "scab" and asked him "to come out and fight like a man." After admonishing Kilner, and issuing a warning that such actions would not i be tolerated, Mayor Zimmerman dismissed the case. Kilner was released. According to one of the strikers, the I imported workmen have been moved from the hotel, and are quartered in one of the factory buildings. The Strikers insist that these men must leave the city, and that the agreement made Monday with the company officials must be carried out. Officials of the company, it is claimed, told the strikers that the imported workmen had been hired under contract and that they could not be released.

HARRISONSPEAKS AT LABOR MEET (By Associated Pr?ss) INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 28. Charles Fox of Terre Haute and Adolph Fritz of Indianapolis were re-elected president and secretary treasurer, respectively, of the Indiana State Federation of Labor at the second days session of the annual convention here today. L. C. Harrison of Richmond Typographical union, in an address to the convention, accused the Starr Piano company of conducting the campaign against organized labor in Richmond, "by importing Chicago gunmen" and by other means seeking to disrupt labor organizations.

COLUMBUS, Ind., Aug. 28. Goverr.or Goodrich addressed the Columbus Grange at the fair grounds here Wednesday afternoon. He commended the tillers of the soil for their conservatism, their stability, their broadml&dedress, their disposition to be fair and

for their good citizenship. Discussing the high cost of living, the Governor

said that It is a condition due to the war and that history Is only repeating Itself, in that like conditions followed every other big war. While the nationwide fight against the high cost of living In general and profiteering and hoarding In particular will help, it will

not reduce the high cost of living to

any considerable extent. Time and greater production alone can do that

and he predicted that the cost of living would continue high for at least four

years, despite all efforts. He said conservatism, sound judgment and co-operation, with extra ef

fort at greater production, instead of

unsettled labor conditions, which are in restraint of production, will bring

about desired conditions.

The Governor suggested that fewer

big headlines in the newspapers and less general agitation of the question of the high cost of living would serve to hasten its reduction. He predicted that the high cost of living will right Itself in time and that the farmers of the country will be potent factors in bringing back normal living conditions. Reaction Is Forecast. He went further and predicted that within a few years It would not be a question "with labor as to whether it should do eight hours of work for ton hours' pay, time and one-half for overtime and double time for Sundays and holidays, but one of getting work at all or at any price a condition that has in the past followed eventually every national crisis, such as now confronts the United States." The Governor cited the labor conditions at Gary and Hammond and said that the labor people of the two cities are being Imposed upon by Socialists and I. W. W. propaganda of the moat unfair and ridiculous sort. Speaking of capital, the Governor said that he disapproved of the practice of the condemnation of corporations and their methods Just because they are corporations; that Justice hould be done in all cases, but added that if the power were vested in him he would send to the penitentiary any one who profiteered or hoarded necessities out of wholly selfi3h motives and tor individual gain.
