Indiana Republicans
May Critisize Tariff Law

Indianapolis, April 2.-Unless the
followers of Senator Beveridge, who
are in absolute control of the party
machinery, change their plans the re-
publican state convention here on
April 5 either will ignore the tariff
bill or criticise it in the platform.
Those in authority in the organiza-
tion refuse to say at this time what
recommendation will be made to the
committee on resolutions. 1t is con-
ceded that the outcome of the cam
paign, which involves the political
future of Senator Beveridge, may de-
pend very largely on the tariff plank.
The state committee has been call
ed to meet here Monday to discuss
the platform pledges and there will be
another conference here Sunday or
Monday when Senator Beveridge ar
rives.
What is regarded as significant is
that not a one of the 1,745 delegates
elected last Saturday was instructed
on the tariff 1t has been the custom
of many counties to name their dele
gates in mass meetings and to in
struct them in various matters. Gen
orally delegates have come here bear
ing enthusiastic Endorsement of the
policies of the state and national ad-
ministrations, but there will be moth
ing of the kind this time.
Word received here from many Of
the outlying counties indicates that
there is a strong sentiment in favor
of tariff plank that will commend the
opposition Of Senator Beyeridge to
the Payne-Aldrich measure. 1t is oe-
coming more apparent than ever that
there is a very large element within
the party determined to show to the
country next week, and especially to
the statesmen at Washington, that
Indiana is opposed to Cannonism and
that it is an insurgent state.
Republican leaders who have been
called on to obtain the sentiment oi
the masses assert that the party will
not stand a ghost of show of winning
If it tries to convice the voters thai
the Payne-Aldrich tariff is the 'bes
ever" On the other hand there are
thousands of ardent and radical pro
tectionists throughout Indiana whit
are insisting that the party will b,
defeated if it goes back on the oil
time theory of protection.

COAL OPERATORS WILL NOT
IMPORT STRIKE BREAKERS

Kansas City, Mo-, April 2.-Pending
the proposed meeting, next week of
the operators and miners, little change
in the strike situation in the south
ern district is looked for, according
to early reports today, from the effect
ed districts in Missouri, Kansas, Ok
lahoma and Arkansas, where every
think is quiet.
Several operators here today de-
cided that they would meet in Kan
sas City Monday, next, and make
plans for a joint conference with the
miners. President Keith Of the op-
orators, today, says the operators
have no present intention of import
ing men to take the miners places.
Kansas City, Mo-, April 2. ~ The
strike of the coal miners has caused
the operators to show signs of fight.
The members of the Coal Operators
association of the Southwestern dis
trict will meet in Kansas City Tues
day or Wednesday of next week to
discuss plans for breaking the strike
which closed Thursday the AIS mines
in this district, representing an in
vestment of 100 million dollars. Should
the miners keep to their demands for
Is per cent increase in wages after
the 6O-day supply of coal now on hand
is exhausted it is probable that the
coal operators will employ nonunion
miners to take the places Of the thirty
five thousand strikers. That might
lead to rioting and bloodshed through
out the mining territory of Missouri,
| Kansas, Oklahoma and Arkansas, the
states comprising the Southwestern
ldistrict.
There is, of course, chance that
the miners will not listen to us. "

local Operators association Of the
Southwestern district and of the Cen

and that they are in control of the
machinery in two-thirds of the coun-
ties is regarded as conclusive that
the republicans must have a united
party to win. Governor Harshall de-
clares that the democrats are not 60
ing to support Senator Beveridge be-
cause of his opposition to the Payne
Aldrich bill. He and other demo-
Gratis of Indiana are for tariff for rev.
enue only and that they will line up
solidly in hope of electing a member
of their own party.
The president, according to word
received here, is very anxious that
the Payne-Aldrich bill shall be in
dorsed, as Indiana will be the first
state to hold a convention this year.
1t is said, however, that he will have
no personal representatives here to in
sist on an Endorsement Of his policies
It is declared that he will be indorsed
as wise and sagacious statesman, a
conservative and powerful leader

about policies.
