The indianapolis Star says that not
a single case OF dlsorderly conduct in
any of the 164 precincts of Marion
county was reported on the recent
election day. Not single arrest on
the charge Of violating, election laws
was made. Republican and Demo
cratic leaders credit the absence of
dlsorderllness to the fact that Indiana
was holding her first election under
the state prohibition law.

Three Hours of Accusations,
Etc., Mark Meeting of Board
of Aldermen Last Night

One Hundred hremen appeared last
night before the Board of Aldermen
as protest by the department against
the purchase for Protection Hook &
ladder Company of anything other
than a standard fire apparatus motor
tractor.
Their appearance was but a prelim-
mary to a battle OF words, personal
tiles, accusations, charges and innuen-
do. that consumed three hours time
and accomplished but little good, ex-
cept to give an airing to the pent up
feelings of the parties interested.
The real argument came over the
purchase of two motor surinkler
trucks by the city. The Shapiro
charges, that the city had been charg-
ed far more than 1t should have been
charged were the basis for protracted
argument among automobile dealers
and the board members.
The motorizing of the truck used
by the company Is in line with the
program of che aldermen to motorize
one piece of fire apparatus each year
While the hook and ladder company
never solicited the addition of q trac-
tor to their apparatus, they claim,
through their president Robert Hol-
ton, that II they are to. get a tractor.
they want only one kinda standard
lied apparatus. made by manufacture
ers of fire apparatus exclusively
namely, the American La France trac-
tor.
The firemen claim that they have
examined many equipments and look
ed into the matter thoroughly and
they are convinced that the best pur-
chase the city could make would be an
American La France.

here regarding our communication
about a tractor for the Protection

LABOR DEMAND
Common Labor Scarce at
Local Employment Bureau--
Churches Aid Service

An increasing demand for labor
has made itself felt at the Office of
the Federal Municipal Employment
Bureau in State street, which 1t has
found unable to meet. Although there
seem to be a great many men looking
for positions, the demand for common
labor. from all appearances in this
city, is greater than the supply. A
call came into the Office of the en-
ployment bureau yesterday for $50
men and up to a late hour yesterday
afternoon II had been found impcssi-
BILE to obtain men to fill the jobs.
There seems to be a great amount of
men could not be reached yesterday
either.
The National church organizations
of the country have united in a cam
paign to assist the United States En-
ployment Service of the Department
of Labor and cooperating agencies to
find employment for returning SOL
diers, and sailors and Sunday. May 4,
has been designated as Employment
Sunday. On this day the National
program of employment administered
by the United States Employment
Service will be the subject of sermons
and Bible class meeting.
The idea Of Employment Sunday,
which the governor has been asked to
endorse by proclamation, by William
B. Wilson, secretary of labor for the
United States, was originated by the
Committee on Reconstruction at
Home of the Methodist Episcopal
church and adopted by all other Pro-
testant denominations through the
Wartime Commission of the Federal
Council of Churches. The National
Committee of Northern Baptist Lay
men have endorsed the plan. This
action means that Employment Sun
day will be observed in approximately
10000 churches in all parts of the
country.
President Wilson has cabled the
following public appeal for observ-
ance of May as Employment Sum
day:
'-rhe church organizations of the
country having generously united in
an effort to assist the employment
service of the United States in finding
work for returning soldiers and sal
lors and war workers and having
designated Sunday. May. 4, as En-
ployment Sunday, i am happy to add
my voice to others in an appeal to
our fellow countrymen to give their
earnest and united support to this and
every similar movement. I hope that
the, people of the country will uni
versally observe Employment Sunday
as a day of fresh dedication to the
mutual helpfulness which will serve
to work out in the months to come
the difficult problems of employment
and Industrial reorganization.
TN these days of victory we can
make NO better Offering than that of
service to the men and women who
have won the victory.
