WILL GO TO DAY WORK
IL PIate-GIass Company Has to Pay
Every Week.

General Superintendent Clark. of the
Pittsburg Plate Glass Company's plant at
Elwood, was in the city last night for
consultation with the state factory inspec-
tor. He said he was still trying TO settle
the present differences with the factory
inspector, who was demanding that the
employees of the Elwood mill be paid every
week as the law requires. Mr.. Clark says
he will comply with the law. but that his
compliance means a change OF the system
from piecework TO daywork, which would
necessarily be at a lower rate than the
piecework has been. He said he feared
this change would precipitate a strike, but
that il would be impossible for the COM
pany TO keep track of the work done by
the men. under the piecework system and
pay them every week, as the detail is enor-
nous.
Inspector McAbee will have conference
with Mr.. Clark to-day

POLAND CHINA BREEDERS.
The National and State Meetings Are
Held mt the Occidental.

Held mt the Occidental.
The Central Poland China Record Asso-
citation held it's twentieth annual meeting
at the Occidental Hotel last night and
after it had transacted routine business
and elected officers the session became a
meeting of the Indiana Poland China
Breeders Association. This arrangement
is always carried out. Both associations
have the same members. Two-thirds of
the breeders of Poland China hogs in the
State are members.
At the business session A T. May, of
Flatrock. Ind, was reelected president,
and w. III. Morris. of this city, was re-
elected secretary and treasurer. Walter
Johnson, of New Augusta. and Henry Oil.
er, of Russiaville. were elected vice presi-
dents. The following topics were up for
discussion: 'Disinfectants and Disinfect-
ing; the Best: How to Use Them; the
Benefits Derived from Their Use, pre-
scented by Lloyd Mugg; THE Show Ring:
the Sale Ring; Which Is More Beneficial to
the Advancement of Swine Interests?" pre-
sented by DIR. w. T.. Hendricks. Under
the head of Poland Chinas seven different
topics relating to the breed were discussed.

bingham, Adam +. May. Blair Luyster. III.
c. Oiler. Elmer Shrader. r. N. Hinchman
and John Harcourt There were also five
minute talks by members on the subject of
hog cholera.
An interesting theory was advanced by
Robert Ridgeway, of Amboy. Ind. who has
plan for exterminating cholera among
hogs. His plan is to make hogs immune
from cholera After a sow has had cholera
he would feed her on a special prepara-
ton of his own and when her litter of pigs
is born they will be free from this faint
in the blood. Mr. Ridgeway says il is pos
sible to place these immunes in herds
where cholera is raging and the immunes
will not contract the disease. The breeders
were impressed with Mr.. Ridgeway's talk
and some of them declared he lis on the
right track If he has not actually discov-
cred something that will ,exterminate the
disease.

Only three banks in Indiana seem to
have cared enough for a share of the funds
which the secretary of the treasury has
caused to be distributed among the banks
that deposited bonds and made application,
and these three asked for only $4,000 each.
As some of the banks have United States
bonds among their assets, which might be
employed as security for loan of cur
rency from the United States. it is fair to
assume that there is not any pressing
stringency i'm the money market in Indiana.
The fact that only a small part of the
banks have applied for deposits of cur
rency indicates that the profit derived
from holding and loaning such money is
not so large as 10 cause a rush of banks
for the favor. About seventy banks have
received deposits thus far, which proves
that the ridiculous story that all the
money had been turned over TO the Ma
tional City Bank of New York is false,
even if those who started the falsehood
do not retract.

be treated as prisoners of war, but as
British subjects caught in open rebellion.

tenable. 1t would mean that they may be

a patent for a continuance which, he be-
lieves, is destined to make crude oil the
natural successor of natural gas in this
State for both heating and manufacturing
purposes. He says his plan contemplates
the generation of gas from the mixture of
crude oil and water and says that il has
been tried in the Statehouse with satisfac-
tory results. He says the heat generated
is even fiercer than that OF gas.

n recent dispatch from Rome stated that
the Sacred Propaganda had decided that
the teaching of the classics could not be
permitted in schools Of the Christian
Brothers in the United States, and that it
was expected the Pope would confirm the
decision 1t is now announced that he has
done so. His action causes great disap-
pointment among the Christian Brothers
and is regarded as further evidence that
the Pope is not in sympathy with the pro-
gressive ideas of the church in this coun-
try. The Sacred Propaganda is a European
order. Of French origin. It's constitution
contains provision that the classics shall
not be taught in the schools of the order
The original object of the provision was to
assure the teaching and extension of the
French language in the schools of the
Propaganda. throughout the world, but
that reason has lost its force. In this coun-
try the order is known as the Christian
Brothers, and they have several fine COL
leges I'm which Latin is taught The effect
of the decision of the Propaganda, af-
firmed by the Pope. will be to abolish the
teaching of Latin in all these colleges, thus
seriously inpairing their usefulness for
higher educational purposes, as we'll as
their popularity and patronage. The pre-
text for the decision is that 1t is so pre-
scribed in the constitution of the Propa-
ganda, but it would have been easy to
have made an exception in favor of the
Christian Brothers colleges in the United
States. The decision is reactionary.

The Journal does not find itself in SYM
pathy with the indiscriminate onslaught
upon foreign insurance companies that is
being made I'm some quarters. That such
companies doing business in Indiana should
be subject to and regulated by State laws
Is undoubtedly true. but they should not be
treated as pirates or public enemies On
the contrary, they are. in commercial
sense. public benefactors. Some of the
statements made concerning their alleged
profits are very erroneous. being based on
the company's statements OF premiums re-
ceived and losses paid. without allowing
for operating expenses. These constitute
a large item in the expenditures of the
companies and greatly reduce their gross
receipts. No State situated as Indiana is
can afford to engage In indiscriminate
warfare on foreign capital in any form.
