lively.

that an arbitration offer might be ac-
cepted.

orators Of the Indiana Geld was sched-
uled to be held at Terra Haute. Ind
today. The purpose OF the meeting

workers Is an entirely different ques-

way. The government cannot tolerate

At the meeting OF the club last night.

that the development Of the city be-

quires two tracks to furnish adequate

Of only one track on the new bridge
