BRAZIL, Ind. Oct. 6.-The block coal
operators here are crowded with orders
and are running their mines full time in an
effort to supply the demand. Several coal
companies are advertising for miners, and
night work will be begun in some of the
mines soon This extra work is necessary,
the operators claim, as the miners are ap-
parentIy dissatisfied and are unwilling to
work full time. Their leaders are making
an effort to adopt the eght-hour system
and only work five days a. week, observing
Saturday as a holiday, thus forcing the
closing down of all the mines each Satur-
day. The operators naturally object to
this method, as they are far behind with
their contracts and their customers are
pushing them for fuel. There will be one
setback to night work as the men will de-
mand 25 cents a yard more for working
dead work, such as driving carts, and D
cents ton more for mining COAL This de-
termination on the part of the miners has
greatly disconnected the operators who are
devising every scheme possible to fill their
contracts.

Gamblers Making Few Bets ON the
Greater New York Election.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-The New York
papers note a significant inactivity on the
part of members of the gambling fraternity
with regard to the approaching municipal
election. Very few bets are being made on
the result and those which have are for
small amounts, indicating very clearly that
their minds. The situation is entirely too
mixed for the "sure-thing'' gamblers on
elections to arrive at decision. The fea-
ture of greatest uncertainty is the Henry
George campaign and everybody is watch
ing with curiosity and interest it's develop
ment. The Georgeites are making a tre-
certained what substance there is in the
movement. Henry George himself says that
he will be elected mayor, but when it is
remembered that this same individual
prophesied with sublime confidence right up
to the day Of the last presidential election
that Bryan would carry New York city by
a majority of 100000 and the entire State by
100000 confidence is shaken in the accuracy
of his judgment. Trained politicians and
professional gamblers who make a speciality
of election betting are evidently of the
opinion that the George movement is larger
at birth than it will be again, but they are
not welded to this conviction as to be
willing to bank very extensively on 1t. The
heavier battalions appear TO be lining up
for Tracy and the whole force of that Won
