INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. July 3.-John

Workers of America, in an interiew to-
day. said:
''As a representative of the laboring
class l wish TO say that I agree with all
OF Senator Hanna's expressed opinions
on the labor question. 1t is true that
the labor situation In the United States
is good and growing better. It is equally
true that there is great promise of good
in the work OF the National Civic Fed
eration."
The public does not hear OF the
strikes which are prevented. and there
fore cannot estimate the real good
which the Civic Federation is accom-
plishing.
There will always be strikes. Just as
there will always be wars between ma
tions, but there Will be fewer strikes
year after year and less and less situa-

tween employer and employed is left to
grow greater, while each side abuses
the other at large range. l speak for

FULL PRICES PAID FOR
SHORT WEIGHT GOODS
Sealer of Weights Haskell
Has Made Investigation.
GREAT FRAUD ON THE PUBLIC
Cans Containing Lard, Clipped Beef,
Crackers, and Other Edibles Found
Deficient in Quantity.

". C. Haskell, Sealer of Weights and
Measures for the District. is authority
for the statement that the public is pay
ing too high a price for its dried and
clipped beef. lard and cakes and crack
ers packed in boxes. This condition Of
affairs has been brought about. de-
ciares Mr.. Haskell, by the deficiency in
weight supplied by the packers Of these
goods
An investigation touching upon short
weights in dried and chipped beef is now
under way. and promises TO be effectual
in supplying the prescribed amount to
each box.
Half a Pound Short.
The seaIer Of Weights and Measures
has found that in many instances cans
supposed to contain three pounds of
lard in reality contain but two and a
half pounds. although the purchaser is
paying for the former amount
Another complaint which has reached
Mr.. Haskell is directed against promi-
nent dealers in cakes and crackers who
sell their wares in boxes purporting &C
WelRD SIX anu a udil pOuAiuSs anu Which
actually contain only FIVE pounds OF :
little more. This means either loss tC
the retail dealer or to the purchaser. in
asmuch as the weight of the box is in
eluded in the quantity marked on the
outside.
Mr. Haskell has declared that such
practices are illegal in the District. and
believes that definite steps to prohibit
them will be taken in a short while.
A little more than a week ago Mr.
Haskell issued a letter OF warning re-
garding the dried and chipped beef. The
dealers who cut the beef and sell 1t IL
half pound and pound boxes to grocerl
are said to put but six ounces TO tls.
half pound and a proportionate amount
TO the pound. The public pays for th'
full weight and has been doing so foI
some time.
In his letter to retail dealers. Mr.
Haskell emphatically points out that {
half pound box OF provisions must con
tain a full half pound of the goods ex-
elusive OF the weight of the box.

EXEMPTING CHURCH
PROPERTY FROM TAX

Commissioner West this morning ap-
proved the application OF the trustees
OF the Fifth Baptist Church asking that
the church property be ordered ex-
empt from taxes from June, 1902. The
matter has been in the hands Of the
Commissioners for some time upon a
question OF whether church property
should be made exempt from the date
OF the first worship in the building, or
from the date OF the dedication of the
building.
Commissioner West is OF the opinion
that the property should be made ex-
empt from the date of the first service,
June, 1902. Assessor Darneille reported
some time ago that the law regarding
such matters exempted property from
the date Of the first actual ocCu-
pancy" OF the building.
