BULLETIN LONDON, Oct. 17. The British government today decided to award the Victoria cross, the highest British award to America's "unknown warrior." (By Associated Pre LONDON, Oct. 17. Upon the simply
inscribed slab In Westminster Abbey which marks the tomb of Great Britain's "unknown warrior" was laid today the highest decoration within the gift of the American people. It was the medal of honor, voted by the congress of the United States in reaffirmation . of the comradeship which united the United States and Great Britain in the world war. The official presentation was made by George Harvey, American ambassador to the Court of St. James, who delivered a brief address as the representative of the American government and of Prsident Harding. The act of bestowing the medal was performed by General John J. Pershing, commander of the American armies in France during the great struggle. Simplicity marked the presentation and bestowal of the medal, there being only a brief choral service preceding these ceremonis, which wre witnessed by a distinguished assembly.
Included in the group in the nave of the historic Abbey were the Duke of Connaught, representing King George; members of the British cabinet, heads of governmental departments and attaches of the American embassy, whose presence testified to the significance of the event. The transepts and the choir of the ancient edifice were filled, there being 1,000 visitors admitted to witness the scene. General Pershing, accompanied by Major Oscar Solbert, military attache: Vice Admiral Albert P. Niblack and Rear Admiral Nathan C. Twining, left the American embassy and entered a " royal carriage which, with an escort Continue on-Page Ten)- - -

FRAZEE MAY ENTER RACE FOR CHAIRMAN OF GJIUUN SIXTH INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Oct. 17. One of the things that the Republicans of Indiana are looking forward to, is the reorganization next spring of the Republican state committee and already seme of the leaders are taking stock in conditions that prevail in the various congressional districts. There will be numerous changes among the members of the committee, though in a number of districts the
present members will be candidates to
succeed themselves.
It was said here Saturday that in the sixth district, which now is represented on the state committee by Walter Bossert. of Liberty, that there will be at least one other aspirant for the place. This candidate will be Will Frazee. of Rushville, it was authoritatively stated, though according to information from the district Mr. Frazee has not formally announced his candidacy. Bossert. it is said, may ask for another term on the committee. Richmond Republicans who were asked today concerning the report
from Indianapolis said they had - no j knowledge of the contemplated entry i in the contest for member of the State ! committee of Will Frazee, of Rushville. One Republican said: "Possibly Mr.

The report covers all of the money
borrowed by the city during the last year for the installation of a new unit and other machinery at the plant. The total bonded indebtedness of the city at the present time is $448, 000.00 and with $15,000.00 borrowed from the banks the total indebtedness is only $463,000.00. Of this amount the city light plant carries $390,000.00. The balance of $58,000 is the amount of bonds issued by the city some time ago to cover general expenses.
As a credit against this indebted-;
ness the city plant has $73,701.98 in cash and bonds to pay off the indebtedness as it comes due. The report covers all the money spent by the light plant in putting in the new unit and other equipment just installed. As the light plant has a present value of over $1,000,000, the total
amount of money borrowed by the city does not represent one half the value of the municipal light plant. City's Indebtedness Bonded indebtedness of the city of Richmond, Ind., Oct 1, 1921: Original bonded indebted

earnings of the light plant, and if!
given proper support there i3 no rea
son why the plant should not be able to continue to pay the same out of its earnings. At the present time there is paid into ' t i sinking fund of the plant each ionth $1,250.00, which should be increased next year. In 1917, the controller was directed to purchase $50,000,00 of Liberty Loan bonds, which were paid for in 1917 and 1918. This purchase is in a separate fund which is called the M. E. L. and P. P. Liberty bond sinking fund. Out of the earnings of these bonds, the sinking fund commissioners have up to date purchased an additional $5,200 of Liberty bonds.

today in the reaction of railway executives and labor leaders to the proposal of the public group of the railway labor board of "one feasible plan'' to prevent the tie-up of the country's transportation system. In brief the board rroposed: 1. That the railroads immediately put into effect freight reductions equivalent to the wage reductions authorized last July. 2. That requests for further wage

B. A. Worthington, president of he C. I. and W., expressed the opinion that the threat of the leaders of the railroad brotherhood to call a general strike really has behind it the desire of the labor leaders to throw the roads back into the hands of the federal government, "in the hope of getting the big jobs for themselves." He said he believed that should a general strike be called most trains would be moving as usual in a few days. Should the strike be called, Indiana railroads will" not be affected until the second day, Oct. 31.

BIG THREE THIRD DAY
(By Associated Press CHICAGO, Oct 17. Eastern railroads are among those affected by the scheduled walkout of the Big Five brotherhoods on the second and third groups of carriers, it became known today. Railroads in the second group include the New York, New Haven and Hartford, and the Deleware and Hudson.
Like the first group, the walkout on the second division of roads will affect every section of the country, but hit the east hardest a section of the country left practically untouched on the first day. The second group walkout will come at 6 a. m., local standard time, Nov. 1. Official list of roads in group two follows: New York, New Haven & Hartford; Delaware & Hudson; Chicago & Eastern Illinois; St. Louis & San Francisco, entire system; Louisville' & Nashville; Nickle Plate; Erie Railway system; Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, entire system; Atlantic Coast Line; Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburgh; Delaware, Lackawanna & Western; Lehigh Valley; Nashville, Chatanooga, and St Louis. Big Three in Third. Three of the remaining largest roads in the country are included in the third group for which the strike is set for 6 a. m., local standard time, Nov. 3. The entire Burlington system, the New York Central lines, east and west, and the entire system of the Baltimore & Ohios are among those which will feel the strike blow Nov. 3. The balance of the third and fourth
groups include remaining roads in the country. The national conference of state manufacturers' association, today wired members in 11 states to create temporary organization to furnish supplies, use their influence to see that public officials enforced the law, and sustained the railroads in their pro
posed reductions of wages. The telegrams went to manufacturers' associations in Illinois, Indiana, Connecticut. MassachusettstMicb.igan, . Minnesota, New Hampshire, New York, West Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin. Some Still Oppose. While heads of the Big Four brotherhoods and of the Switchmen's union prepared to meet in Cleveland tomor row to complete plans for the rail strike which they have called for Oct. 30, union chiefs today said that leaders of some of the 11 other railroad organizations still were opposing walkout and would attempt to keep their men from joining the five organizations which have definitely committed themselves to a strike. The "Bis Five merbership numbers only 400,000 of the 2,000,000 railroad employes. Whether the opposition of these leaders will result in a break between the two groups will not be fully settled until the meeting of the general chairmen of the 11 unions here some time this week, when issuance of a formal strike call will be voted on formally. Several railroal labor chiel-
tans said today, however, that they believed the majority would rule and that it would be a case of "majority strike, all strike.' They professed to 6ee little chance of a break. Some Conservative Heads of several of the 11 organizations have announced that they will order the walkout, while others were more conservative in their statements. E. J. Manion, president of the Order of Railroad Telegraphers, in St. Louis last night denied the assertion of Thomas M. Pierson, vice-president, that it had been decided to call out the telegraphers, saying that the question would not be settled until th? meeting here. E. F. Grable, head of the 250,000 maintenance of way employes, Timothy Henly, leader of the stationary firemen, E. H. Fitzgerald, president of the stenographers, clerks and freight handlers' union, and others expressed the opinion that virtually nothing could avert the strike. B. H. Jewell, head of the shop crafts, numbering 476,000 members, has vig
orously opposed a strike on the wage question alone, but said today that he feared it was too late to stop a walkout, and that he doubted if his men could be held back. Mr. Jewell said he would prefer to have his men strike on the rules and working conditions question together with the wage matter, but refused to say definitely that he would try to hold back his men. Duration Not Settled The differences over the advisability of a strike have arisen primarily through failure of the brotherhoods and the other 11 to reach a satisfactory agreement on the duration of the strike, labor leaders said. One union president said that while he was certain the brotherhoods would have the support of the others in the
actual walkout, the heads of the 11 organizations were not pledged to stay out after their differences were settled and might return to work whenever they saw fit. Another official said that it was feared the brotherhoods might return to work and leave the unskilled workers "holding tha bag." - : The brotherhoods are not member of the American Federation of Labor, while the shop crafts organizations are, and it is because of this fact that they have not always worked in com
plete harmony, although not actually opposing 4eacn other, according to union men. , While these differences of opinion are being discussed Informally among the union heads preliminary to tha formal meeting this week, preparations for a walkout are going aheai among all of the organizations. i
