Protests Ring at Election
Socialist Charges That inspect
ors Can Mutilate Ballots

S. John Block, state and county
chairman of the Socialist party and
its candidate for the Supreme Court
for the 1st Judicial District yester-
day in letter to the Board o. &c
tions asked that polling place officials
be prohibited from wearing finger
RINGS.
With recollection Of what he un-
derwent a year ago and confident that
by the use of finger rings Socialist
ballots were mutt ated last year, he
writes the Board of Elections in part
as 70 lows:
"lt is well-known fact that mum
Der OF inspectors have worn certain
rings, which they have used for mutt
lating ballots. This device has been en-
p'oycd in many cases by men who be-
lieved or knew that certain ballots
were cast for certain candidates. /
there ore, urge YOU to order those en-
p Dyed in the polling places to refrain
from wearing rings"

The Cleveland police after the ar

federates who had escaped from local
athorities. In response to this plea
Chief of Police Smith received q tele-
gram from New York tonight saying
the police there were holding Fred
Weller, alias Fred Witt, known as "thc
man in the East" in connection with
the plot.
"The message says that Weller ad
mits that he knows Theodore Leowar,
one Of the accused here, and that Leo

pocket" said Chief Smith tonight. "He
had also in his possession cards Of
membership in radical organizations,
among them some Cleveland organiza-
tions.
1--WE have proof" said the chief,
chat arms and ammunition were or
dered and that home made weapons
were being prepared here in large
quantities. Huge knives from steel

that they could be carried in coat

Negro Farmer Is
Robber OF $1,5OO
By Another Negro

Green Fluker. a negro farmer of
the larry neighborhood, was robbed
of 81 1900 here yesterday by another
negro, who thus far has evaded ar
rest. Fluker believes he could iden-
tify the thief. Fluker obtained the
81 800 from the sale of cotton which
he brought to the city yesterday.
That several negroes recently have
been robbed of cotton money on the
free bridge road, while returning to
their homes from the city, was a re-
port reaching the city yesterday. A
farm owner said he was told of these
robberies by one of his tenants. who
said the victims were afraid to re-
port the crimes to the officials be-
cause the "hold-up men had threaten.
ed to kill them if they said anything
about it,"

Memorial Park
Committees Fail
To Make Reports

No reports were received yester-
day from any of the committees ap-
pointed to solicit funds for the Me-
mortal park. Despite the weather
several of the more public-spirited
workers canvassed some Of their
routes, but even these did not report.
Chas. w. Holmes, president of the
Rotary club, left the Mcintyre lum-
Der business to run itself, and spent
practically all day down town in the
interest Of the park fund.
Mr.. Holmes seemed disappointed
last night at the failure of the COM
mittees to report to General Chair
man j. Harvey Means, but was con-
fident that with fair weather today
or tomorrow all the canvassers will
let out, and that sufficient subscrip-
tions will be obtained.
The business and professional men
who accepted assignments as can
vassers. have no other interest to
serve the public Mr.. Holmes said
in suggesting that persons DESTROYS
Of contributing to the fund hand in
their pledges at the banks, where
cards will be found. Employers can
assist by inviting pledges from their
employees, and having these ready
when the canvassers call.

RAIL employees
PLAN SWEEPING
WAGE increase:
Will Make Finish Fight Before
Federal Control Is Sur y
rendered.
SAYS FURTHER REQUESTS
LIKELY BY NOVEMBER I
Shea Predicts Failure of Fight to Re-
duce Living Costs Will Make
New General Increase
Necessary.

Washington, Oct. 22-Railroad EN-.
ployes are prepared for a finish fight
with the railroad administration for
increased wages, time and half for
overtime and improved working con-
ditions before the government sur
renders the roads to private control
Unmistakable notice to this effect
has been served by Timothy Shea, of
the firemen. appearing before the
board of railway wages and working
conditions.
eff our demands for living wage
should not be met when the time ap-
proaches for turning back the rail,
roads to their private owners" Mr..
Shea said, in testimony which be-
came public today, 1--WE shall demand
as a condition precedent to the cange
the realization of the fundamental
rights of labor, the living wage, the
eight hour day on all federal con-
trolled roads, time and one-half for
overtime, and other principles to
which the government pledged itself
during the war, which have now been
made a part oof the treaty of peace
and which, so far, the railroad adj
ministration has never fulfilled"
While Mr.. Shea was appearing on
behalf of the fremen only, it has
been recognized generally that wage
increases for any one class of rail-
road employees meant an advance for
all to maintain equality between the
workers. Furthermore, Mr.. Shea
said, he anticipated that the failure
of hte governments efforts to reduce
the cost of living would make neces-
sary advances in pay for all work.
ers, and predicted that by November
l, the wage board would be forced to
consider further requests for gen
eral increases" from the railroad en-
ployes.
