All outside strike leaders, including
y. J. Thorpe. of Pittsburgh, and other
oNlcers of the international union,
must leave Indiana at once, and the
local union disbanded, the company
proposed. The employees will then
be taken back on the old terms for

the company will listen to each mans

Injunction to Prevent C0llec.
tion of Pending Testing of
Measure Will be Sought
TEMPORARY LICENSE
FROM CITY Is SCHEME
Lawson Declares That Michigan
Statute, Which Becomes Ef-
fective Jan. l, is Unjust

On suggestion Of Corporation Coun.
sci lawson. Mayor Marx will send a
communication to the council next
Tuesday night, urging the adoption
OF an ordinance that will provide q
temporary city license for automobile
owners. while an injunction Is being
sought to prevent the secretary OF
state from issuing tags In Detroit
until the validity OF the new state
law. effective Jan. 1. is tested In the
courts. The new law taxing autos &C.
cording to horsepower, takes approxi.
mately $14,000,000 from the city tax
rolls, and the corporation counsel
holds that the law II unjust as the
city derives no direct benefit from
the tax.
The matter came up in the mayors
cabinet meeting, Thursday afternoon,
and II was tentatively decided to
fight the automobile tax.
The mayor and several members
of his cabinet frowned on the sug.
gestion Of holding the famous Van
dcrbilt cup race on Belle Isle next
summer. Mayor Marx caused ripple
OF laughter when he stated his will
ingness to help in securing the use
OF the state fair track for the national
classic. He said 1t would be too
dangerous to hold the race on Belle
Isle. Police Commissioner Gillespie
and Controller Engel. the only sports
men in the meeting, pleaded strong
ly for the event, provided 1t was free
to the people Of Detroit. They
argued that Il would give Detroit
prominence as a sporting center. The
mayor and Park Commissioner Dust
refused TO enthuse over the plan, and
II will likely be dropped.
Commissioner Gillespie proposed a
plan for eliminating the park space
on Washington-blvd., from State-st.
north to Grand Circus park, the space
to be used for the parking Of auto.
mobiles. The lower half of Cadillac.
80. will soon be turned over to the
automobile men, and with Washing.
ton-blvd. the commissioner thinks
that sufficient space would be pro-
vided. Corporation Counsel Lawson
will look up the legality Of the COM
missioner's plan.
Mayor Marx informed the members
Of his cabinet that IL would be mecca
sary for them to prepare two budgets
for the coming year. one In case the
new charter is passed. and the other
in case II Is defeated.

"If a man has made good IN IA

A contemplated move is the ap-
pointment Of three men to do the
