PROVIDING THEY TRY TO sIoP
WORK ON AUDITORIUM.
stockholders State They DON'T Want
Peanut Politicians 20 Settle Mat
tiers Now In Controversy.

! After much haggling. browbeating
and bluffing that has beset the build
ing Of the new market auditorium
ever since II has been in the course
OF erection. matters were brought to
focus few days ago by a notice
served by Mayor Schmidt on G. W.
Lutz. president OF the Auditorium
company. and r. b. Naylor, secretary
OF the board OF trade.
This notice was in effect calling at
tention TO the city ordinance provid-
ing for the construction Of the build
ing and the provisions contained
therein that union and home labor
should be employed on the structure
insofar as possible. This clause. the
notice said, was being violated by the
w. w. Wood company, one OF the con-
tractors on the work. and that the
bricklayers would Join with the
carpenters and walk out on a strike
II the difficulty was not straightened
out.
Saturday afternoon conference
was held by Mayor Schmidt and Of
ficials of the Ohio Valley Trades &
Labor Assembly regarding the matter,
but no conclusion was reached.
Speaking of the matter to an In
telligencer reporter last evening. a
stakeholder of the Auditorium com
pany said:
There seems to be a disposition on
the part Of some people to prevent the
completion of the work on the new
auditorium and judging from recent
developments the city officials seem
TO be taking a hand in the game but
| want to say right here that just the
moment the mayor. chief OF police,
sheriff or any other official. body OF
officials or organization undertakes TO
stop the work on this structure the
attempt will be met by a petition for
an Injunction and the matter will be
thrown into the courts where IL will
be decided on its merits.
That Is Just what we want. We
want this matter decided fairly and
not by a mob or a bunch OF peanut
politicians.
The men who put their money into
this thing did so in good faith and
they have over 100000 invested.
They don't want TO see this money
sacrificed or it's value destroyed by
anyone. The members OF the audi
forum company hold that they have
obeyed the letter and spirit OF the
grant made by the board OF trade and
used every possible means in their
power TO comply with the provisions
OF the ordinance covering the grant
and TO endeavor to put up a building
along the lines and plans as prepared.
submitted and accepted.
We want this question decided
once and for all. and will take II to
the courts. where Il can be gone into
and settled on it's merits. and when
II gets there there will be doubt of
the outcome"
Other members OF the auditorium
company, when seen by the reporter.
were OF the same opinion. One said:
"A cantract cannot be made and
broken at will. When bonafide con-
tract is made IL must be lived up TO.
providing all OF its provisions have
been complied with. ard Il is not such
a thing as can be treated as a Joke
and be broken or mended at will.
We have observed the letter and
spirit OF the ordinance. and we don't
Intend 10 be crucifed by the mayor
or any other official or interests OF
the community"

FIELD MEET

The inter-class field meet of Wheel

a success from every standpoint. and

WOULD DEBATE QUESTION.

Editor News:
In your last issue Mr.. Brannan state
that he is ready to DEBATE through th'
columns of the News the following
proposition: "Resolved: That Social
ism is Christianity applied" that is,
says Mr.. Brannan, elf anyone dare
oppose it If seems to me it would
have been better, more christian, 30 tx
speak, if Mr.. Brannan had left tina
last phrase unwritten. 1t puts a large
number of christians, readers of the
News, who do not believe in Social
ism in a false position. If they do moi
take up Mr.. Brannan's proposition il
will appear that they did not dare OPP
pose it, while such is not at all the
case.
Speaking for myself, it. would give
me considerable enjoyment, | feel sure
to debate the question through the
News. But would it do any good
Surprising | have the stronger argu.
ments and win will Mr. Brannan agree
to acknowledge his defeat, and since il
will then be seen that Socialism is moi
Christianity applied or otherwise, will
about itY. Or will he simply come
DdCh WIN UuO III SUubCLlChU 1CIO
that Socialism is Christianity applied
and begin all I'VE again. If l thought
it would accomplish any good | would
most certainly accept Mr.. Brannan's
offer to debate. Even as it is | am
willing to enter the lists provided Mr..
Branan aud | can cOme to an agree
ment on the meaning of the terms us
ed in his proposition. The terms $50

Piled must be agreed upon before we
can begin a reasonable debate. II
then Mr.. Brannan will furnish us
with the following information we
may be able to enter a debate, provid-
ed the News will allow it.
tst. What is Socialism Answer
must give a definition which will in
clude not merely political Socialism
but philosophical Socialism, which I'M
der lies the political as well. Defni-

length.
