TINES BUREAU,
At STATE CAPITAL.

Indianapolis, Ind. May 27.-In the
Marion county primaries last Wednes-
day there was a battle between or
ganized labor and the retail grocers
association, and the grocers won The
retail grocers held meeting and made
Democratic and Republication legisla-
tive states for the primaries, and they
supported these states to a man and
nominated practically every mban on
their states. The got six out of eight
on the Democratic slate and all bpt
one on abe Republican slate.
The grocers states were opposed by
organized labor. because labor had
number of candidates for Legislative
nominations on both tickets. But Ia
Dor got only one nomination, and that
was one representative on the Demo
cratic ticket. All of the other labor
candidates were defeated.
/ The fight hinged on the proposition
! of the retail grocers to ask the next
legislature to enact garnishee law,
under which a portion of the wages OF
workingman may be siezed for debt.
The retail groeers of the state have
worked for this kind of bill for sew
erai years and session after session of
the legislature has seen strong Hobbies

ling among the members of the House
and Senate in favor of such bill. But

Dor always fights 1t and has succeeded
| in defeating the measure.
! This year. however. the grocers ap-
parently have made up their minds to
go after the bill and go after 1t right.
They have a strong organization in
Indiana, and 1T is especially strong IN
indianapolis, where there are ,40e re
tail grocery stores. Practically all of
these stores do a credit business and
they say that they suffer great losses
among laboring people who run &C

these streets the speed maniac cuts
loose and burns UP the pavement.
Scores of citizens detail accounts
of narrow escapes from being struck
by automobiles in Hammond 1t is
only necessary to speak of auto
speeding to hear a dozen stories of
carelessness on the part OF the driv-
ers of cars.
Unless the average automobile
owner wants to incur the hearty dis
pleasure of the people he will have 10
give some consideration in the future
to their rights.
Ordinances should be passed MAX
ing it misdemeanor to:
1. Speed faster than eight miles
in the territory bounded by Root
street, State Line street, Columbia
|avenue and Standard Avenue.
2. Turn corner at speed
greater than four miles an hour.
8. Open up the muffler or permit
cars to smoke excessively in the built
up sections of the city
4. Fail to come to a full stop
while approaching a street car which
| is depositing passengers at the street
| intersections.
5. Permit infants to drive auto
mobiles.
6. Run on the wrong side of tho
street.
1t is a fact that the foreign cars
which come into Hammond, and
! there are hundreds of them, use more
Judgment and have more considera-
ton for the pedestrian than the loca
owners of machines.
| 1t Is the Hammond automobile
owner who is most frequently guilty
Iof the abuses that make him {
menace to the lives of school childrer
and an infection on the peace ant
quiet of the community.
Apparently it will take a numbe
Iof prosecutions to bring the automo
lbile owners of Hammond to an ap
probation that its streets were no
built for speedway purposes.
There are men high up in publ
life in Hammond who permit mer
lads to violate the rules of the roa
with heavy touring cars and the pub
| lie knows it.

THE MANIAC OF THE ROAD.

1t is about time that the speed
mania In Hammond was given a set
back. Automobile owners have pre-
empted the streets and seem to think
that they belong to them and that
the general public has waived all

toned for the purpose of making ar
rests for speeding. These are Hob

LABOR TO PLAY PART
IN COMING CAMPAIGN

should help to nominate them and that
they would also send out their clerks
and other help to work at the polls.
They declared that they would be able
to control 10000 votes, in the two
parties. but the returns show that
while they carried their states through
successfully they did not poll tina.
many votes.
What labor will do to the candidates
at the fall election remains to be seen.
There are between 10000 and 1900
members of the Central LLbor Union
in this city and many other thousands
of workingmen who do not belong to
any labor organization. If they vote
against the grocers candidates the
states will have hard time to pull
through and be elected.
Another feature of the primaries in
this county is the small vote that was
polled. 1t is estimated that the Demo-
icrats polled only about 40 per cent Of
their normal vote at the primaries and
that only about 20 per cent of the Re-
publicans in the county voted. The
result is that a movement has started
already to either repeal the direct
primary law or to revise and amend 1T
in such a way as to bring out larger
vote at the primaries in the future.
Just how this is to>be done is ques-
ton, but it is realized that something
must be done to bring out a larger
vote at the primaries. Thousands OF
voters OF both parties in this city re-
manned away from the polls. and this
class of citizens usually is the first to
raise cry about the nominations and
to criticise the work of the primaries.
1t is argued that If they would turn
out and vote and help to nominate
good tickets instead of remaining n.
home on primary day and then sitting
on their front porches and growing
about the nominations better tickets
/, would be the result. A number of
plans for amending the primary law
have been proposed, and there are
many who take the position that the
primary is a failure and that 1T ought
to be repealed. 1t would be ideal, they
say. if everybody would vote but they
won't do that, and the primary be-
comes the tool of the bosses and the
machines.
