One of the men was inclined to find fault with the officers for permitting so much time to elapse between the date of the offense and

the arrest. He said:

To Monday Uliih

Tlie Monday Club met at the home of Mis. C. F. Mathes, east Washington street. Eighteen members responded to roll call with New Year’s resolutions. Miss Lydia Cravens had charge of the program which consisted of a very entertaining Christmas story. The hostess, assisted by her daughters, Mrs. John Cock and Mrs. Frank Stoessel, served dainty refreshments during the social hour.

T. B. PROGRAM CONTINUES In the Christmas rush every year many people forget to send in their contributions to the tuberculosis campaign. Success in raising Putnam county’s quota now stands upon the response of those who have mislaid or overlooked their Christmas

seals.

The latest figures compiled show the lowest death rate from tuberculossi in the recorded history of the state, which certainly speaks well for the work, but the work must not be left partially completed. It must be carried on. Ail will want a part in the eontinuanee of the tuberculosis program. We are counting on your support.

| work.”

The announcement was greeted | with resentment by strikers occupy- ! various General Motors plants in (defiance of a company-obtained inI junction prohibiting ‘sit-down” dem- ! onstrations. In Flint, Sheriff Thomas \V. Wolcott was hooted down when he attempted to persuade 600 workers to leave two Fisher Body com-

pany plants.

First violence in the strike crisis was reported in Cleveland where a police officer and two pickets were hurt slightly in a skirmish which followed an attempt by Lincoln R. Scafe, general manager, to enter the Fisher Body plant with several hundred office workers. Police said pickets surrounded Scafe's automobile and refused to clear a path. Union leaders later apologized, blamed police for the brief scuffle, and permitted Scafe to enter with a nurse, a physician, maintenance men,

and watchmen.

Martin and other union spokesmen conferred with Murphy yesterday. The governor indicated willingness to act as mediator and promised that both sides would have equal protection. He voiced hope that a settlement could bo reached by concilia-

tion.

As he left the conference, Martin accepted service of the temporary injunction issued by Circuit Court Judge Edward D. Black in Flint ordering the “sit-down” strikers to vacate the Fisher plants. The writ named national officers of the union. Meanwhile 1.000 workers assembled here last night to hear reports on progress of conferences with plant managers of the Cadillac and Fleetwood divisions of General Motors. Union organizers said the management had prohiised aid in getting a general conference. The workers adopted a resolution declaring the union was ready to “sit down” or walk out and if the two companies locked them out, they would turn the lockout into a strike. Another meeting was called for Thursday. Cadillac employes about 1 800 workers and Fleetwood about 5,000. There were rumors in Flint, General Motors chief producing city, that non-union men were growing resentful of the fast-moving activities of union leaders which have forced many plants to close because of lack of materials and made them jobless. Police were prepared to prevent any disorder among strikers and nonstrikers. The Chevrolet plant employing 17,000, Buick with 14.000, and AC Spark Plug with 6.000 remained open. It was feared, however, that shortage of supplies resulting from shutdowns

DEPAUW CHAPEL "Can we take it?” was the subject of DePauw university’s first postholiday chapel address delivered by President Clyde E. Wildman Tuesday morning. Taking as his text the biblical reference to the disciples of Jesus w’hen "They pulled at the oars, but the winds were contrary,” Dr. Wildman pointed out the contrary winds with which we must cope today. Admonishing his listeners to follow the example of the disciples and continue pulling at the oars in the face of the adverse winds, the speaker declared that there is a democracy in adversity and pestilence. It destroys everyone ragardloss of station or religion. One of the contrary winds is the wind of defeat. When some persons meet defeat they acquire a feeling of futility and stop pulling on them oars. Another contrary wind is the wind of success. It is as much a test to be able to meet success as it is to meet disaster. Have the fortitude that whatever the year brings, you will remain the Captain of your Soul,” Dr. Wildman concluded.
