PROF. LEANING HAS
SOME OPPOSITION
Method of Elections and
Not the Man, However,
Is Cause Of Rift.
CITIES FIGHT FOR CONVENTION
Insurgent Wing Develops In Ranks
of Indiana Music Teachers
Association.

Harmony may reasonably be ex-
pected to prevail at the Indiana Music
Teachers convention, of which Prof.
Clark Leaning of Hammond is this
president and which is now in annual
session at Princeton. but the first
days session has already brought
forth a few incidental sharps and
flats in minor tone which may upset
the present tempo of electing officers.
An insurgent wing has developed in
the convention. and as a result the old
method by which officers were elect
ed may be thrown on the scrap heap.
President Leaning was elected by the
old method, and according to custom.
is in line for reelection for another
term of one year. Should the new plan
of electing by majority vote instead
of by committee be adopted 1t is doubt
full just what the outcome would be as
far as Prof. Leaning is concerned.
Joe Cannon OutcIassed.
It should be mentioned in this con-
nection. however, that there is no
feeling in the convention against Prof
Leaning. for he is very popular, but
there is a growing sentiment against
the method of election. Developments
along this line may come today or to-
morrow. Inc eleCllOn OF the OlHCcTS
by the old method is done by a COM
mittee and the president has the ap-
pointing of the committee. 1t can be
readily be seen where the president of
the Indiana Music Teachers convention
can show Uncle Joe Cannon in the
United States house of representatives
a trick or two.
Elkhart, Laporte and Shelbyville are
bidding for the next convention. The
officers and convention place Will be
chosen tomorrow.
At the session yesterday Mr. Leaning
recommended that a stenographer be
employed to take verbatim reports of
all business sessions; that there be
county organizations formed through
out the state instead of relying wholly
on a county secretary. and that the
auditing committee of three be abol-
ished and one competent auditor ap-
pointed because of the difficulty of
getting three members together.

WRESTLE
WITH OLD
PROBLEM
Democratic State Committee
to Meet at Indianapolis
This Week; Where Will
They Get Campaign Ma
terial Is Question.
TIMES BUREAU
AT THE STATE CAPITAL.

indianapolis. June 2s.-The demo-
cratic state committee will meet in
this city on Thursday of this week, and
at that meeting. it is said. there will
be a final decision as to the establish
ment of a campaign press bureau. 1t
was the expectation that this question
would be finally settled at the lunch
grabbers' convention at French Lick
last week when the democratic editors
of the state gathered and put their
feet under Tom Taggart's table, but
there was so much to do. much to
see and so many things to interest the
editors that they did not have time to
attend to much business. So they put
it off until this week and the special
committee appointed by the state com
press bureau will undertake to wrestle
the proposition to a finish.
1t has been practically decided, how
ever, that the bureau will be establish
ed. and that Guernsey Van Ripper. at
present city e1itor of the Indianapolis
Star, will be he man behind the gun.
While they were at French Lick the
editors considered the names of sew
eral men for the position of grand high
molder of public opinion as manager
of the press bureau, and the name of
Van Ripper seemed to stir up the most
enthusiasm Van Ripper is good
newspaper man. and he will give them
as good a press bureau as any other
man could give with the material the
democrats will have to work with this
year.
And by the way. this Is one OF the
very things that is worrying the demo-
Gratis this year. Just what they will
base their campaign upon is the ques-
tion. They have found out already,
as has been stated before, that the
tariff question will not be a popular
theme for them. The democrats, as
they themselves know. have foundered
on the tariff from year to year and
their congressman from various states
have been on so many different sides
of the question that they cannot point
to anything in that direction on which
to make campaign.
1t is pointed out. too, that they can

In few days the bitter struggle
on the great lakes between the sea-
men and the. United States Steel COR
12oration will be renewed and with
more determination than ever. i,
The issue Is clean cut. The seannen
are fighting for the right to organize.
The steel trust. under the guises of
the open shop, is making an effort
70 exterminate all union labor. .
The seamen's officers are guarding
their plan of campaign with the. ut
most secrecy: But they are likely to
supplement their industrial contest
with political attack. They are: col,
laborating vast fund of information
that will be sprung at an opportune
time for. the benefit of the public. :
For instance, it is not generally
known that last season was the most
disastrous in loss of life and property
il the history of lake navigation. The
seamen charge that fact up to the in
competency of the strikebreakers en-
ployed. r. ~. :
I have been informed by General
Secretary Victor Olander OF the; sea-
men that last season the unionists
took fully $1,000 strikebreakers away
from the trust. They expect to do as
We'll this year. <>:':'.: ;@'+:'<* T.
One feature that the so-called meat,
boycott brought out, and which was
pretty generally overlooked in the
shuttle, was that the farmers in
many of the states, who apparently
have few newspapers to defend their
interests, are highly incensed at the
charge that they are responsible for
high prices. They claim that with
the. increased. cost of farm .machin-,
cry, clothing and other things they
purchase they are no better off than
the workmen in the cities.
In several states the farmers un-
ion was led to believe that the trade
unions fathered the charge that the
agricultural workers were gouging
the public. This misstatement ap-
pears to have been deliberately cir
culated with the intent of destroying
the friendly feeling between these two
classes Of workers, --.... .
The truth. OF. the matter is that
the meat boycott and charges against
the farmers originally started in the
so-called~ open or non-union shops.
The socialist action of the prov
ince of Alberta, Canada; is going into
the pork packing, business to circum-
vent: the. meat trust, and thus de-
stroy Incentive among the barons: to
skin the public, lis not an altogether
novel: experiment for that state. r III

CONTRACTS DELAYED,
GOVT WILL PROBE
BETHLEHEM STRIKE

WASHINGTON, March 25.-An
investigation of the strike in the mills
of the Bethlehem Steel company at
South Bethlehem, Pa. where more
than 5000 men have been out for
a month. has been ordered by the
federal government.
An officer of the Department Of
Commerce and Labor will leave
Washington tomorrow morning for
South: Bethlehem to begin the in
curry. The government has big steel
contracts with the Bethlehenl: Steel
company and it is contended that
the strike has resulted in much de-
as soon as possible. It is hoped that
the company and the strikers may
be brought &c rether and induced. to
arbitrate their differences.
The Pennsylvania members in the
house of Representatives are natur-
ally much interested in the strike
and recently two resolutions on the
subject were introduced, one calling
for an investigation of the strike and
the other requesting the Secretary OF
the Navy to- report what contracts
with the! steel company were uncom-
pleted and to what extent the strike
had delayed government work.
Representative. Palmer Of Penn
sylvania, who has recently been in
communication with the company
and the men, brought about the in
vestigation. 49,
Palmer declined to DISCUSS the
extent to which the government
might goin it's inquiry.
In this NATTER. he said, Il have
acted in the interest of both the COM
pany and the men. I know nothing
of the details of the trouble, except
ing what I have read in the, news
papers,"
The government work tied up by
the strike is understood to. amount
to many millions of dollars. The
other day the strikers issued a state
ment which purported to come from
one. OF the clerks of the steel COM
pany, contending that the amount of
government work on hand in South
Bethlehem aggregated about 100000
