Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 30.@The
Transfers Union voted unanimously,
late today, to go on strike at mid
night, tonight. The union, which in
cludes the Commercial Chauffeurs and
one of the strongest in the city and
has between 1900 and 1000 members.
A special dispensation for milk wag
ons driven by union teamsters, was
made at the meeting on the sugges
ton of Thomas J. Farrell, general
organizer of the International Broth
erhood of Transfers, Chauffeurs,
Stablemen and Helpers of America.
Drivers of hearses are exempt from
the strike order. Farrell also an
nounced there would be no interior
ence with the mail or other govern
ment wagons or automobiles or with
the wagons or machines of the eX-
press companies. He said arrange
ments would be made for delivering
supplies to hospitals, so that there
would be no added suffering for the
sick Several employers have signed
the agreement, but their men will join
the strike to make it more effective
The men were ordered not to report
at their respective barns, tomorrow
morning, but to picket the barns in
lawful manner.
Employers of teamsters, who are
members of the National Vehicle
Owners Protective Association, have
practically decided to abandon all at
tempt to move their wagons on the
first interference. They say they will
put their wagons in the barns, send
their horses to the country and await
developments. Wholesale dealers have
notified their customers they will not
attempt to make deliveries in case
there is any interference with their
wagons or automobiles.
The demands of the Transfers were
drafted last Sunday, and submitted tc
the employers, during the week. The
( demands include a wage scale anf
/ changes of working conditions which
] vary according to the kind of work done
/ The wage scale of drivers of horse wag
ons range from $l3 to SIS a week and fol
! chauffeurs from $l4 to SIS week. Thu

Mr.. Mellen ended his remarks at this
point amid cheers. Previous to his ref
erence to willingness to lead and adj
wise railroad men, he had been review
ing his rela lions with the labor unions
while president of the Boston & Maine.
One of his greatest regrets in severing
his connection with the system, he
said, had been that he was compelled
to abandon the monthly conferences
with the heads of labor organizations
which had come to be so highly inter
esting and unique features of his Off
eiai life. At these conferences matters
on which the labor men had been un-
able to reach an understanding with
the heads of departments. came up for
final adjustment and he believed the
exchange of views then afforded, had
been mutually helpful.

hours of labor range from to Il hours
a week.
The union did not demand a closed
shop, but there should be no diserimina-
ton against union men. The police de-
partment reorganized under the direction
of Capt. George V. Coffin, acting super
preparations for week to handle the
strike. An order was passed, Saturday,
preventing the congregating of crowds
and the police were told not to hesitate
to use other means" if persuasion fail
ed to dispense the gatherings. A sys-
tenn of military patrol has been mapped
out for the downtown districts and
mounted and foot police have been added
to the force.
In addition to extra patrolmen, 200
business men were sworn i'll as a reserve
force, this afternoon. These men were
provided with uniforms and guns and are
quartered in Tomlinson hall. where they
will be held until the strike is settled
The men are commanded by officers OF
the Indiana National Guard. Although
today was Sunday, there was little resi-
for many teamsters. Families, who ha6
contemplated IhdHSiitS l4itlI place VI res

districts were busy stocking up their sup.
plies in preparation for the strike.
Large squads of patrolmen and mount
ed police were on duty in the downtown
district, tonight, on account of rainy
weather had little trouble in keeping the
streets clear.

TO DEAL DEATH IN SILENCE
Military Men Seek Devices That Will
Do Away with the Noise Now
Made by Aeroplane.

Noise of battle has always been con-
osidered an indispensable part of war
fare. 1t is, however, a thing unneces
sary and undesirable. The efficiency
of gunpowder weapon is measured
by its killing capacity. The more
noise 1t makes the fewer it kills. The
booming battery is like the rattle
snake. Audibly it warns of it's pres
enCe. The snake that lies low and
strikes silently claims the most vic
tins. The Maxim silencer Is intended
to make guns less noisy and more
useful in their specific field of acttv-
ity. The quite noiseless gun would
be more desirable than the wholly
smokeless powder from the stand
point Of the warrior. Now comes the
complaint that the military aeroplane
is deprived of much of its usefulness
because Of the tremendous noise of
its whirring propellers, At night, when
the flyers dart about above the dark
ened camps, their presence Is adver-
tised to the ear. In daylight they have
to fly high to dodge bullets, at night
they migst woop down low enough
to gain accurate information were 1t
not for the inevitable noise. There
fore the inventors are striving to de-
wise a noiseless aeroplane. If noise
lessness is desirable in warefare how
much more is it to be sought in hum
drum times Of peace? The business
of war Is to destroy life, and noise is
a handicap. The business Of peace is
to prolong life, and to make life hap
py, and noise is a still greater handi
cap. Cities are becoming saner. They
are, by ordinance, puttine the muffler
on some kinds of utterly senseless
clamor. But there remain many caco-
phonies that might easily be elimi-
mated. Anti-noise societies should find
cheer and comfort in the fact that
even war is falling in line for their re-
form. War would seem to be the final
stronghold of noise, and silent battles
the last dream Of the optimist.

DANGEROUS ONLY IN PANIC
Hippopotami viii Not Attack Man
Unless ImpeIIed by Unreason-

The hippopotamus which attacked

no doubt, a bach Tor" Speaking of
the hippopotami of the Chobe,' Liv-

ly males are expelled from the herd.
they become soured In their temper,
and so misanthropic as to attack
every canoe that comes near them.
The herd is never dangerous except
when a canoe passes into the midst
of it when all are asleep, and some OF
them may strike the canoe in terror.
AS a rule, these animals flee the ap-
proach Of man. The "solitaires," how
ever, frequent certain localities we'll
