TWO ATTORNEYS
TO BE QUIZZED
Bar Association Declines to
Make Names Known.

Two practicing attorneys OF Indianap.
oils were scheduled to appear this after
noon before the grievance committee Of
the indianapolis Bar association TO
answer charges concerning alleged un-
professional conduct.
The names Of the two attorneys have
not been made public and will not un-
less the board OF managers OF the bar as
sociation agree with the finding OF the
grievance committee.
The grievance committee Is a great
deal like n grand jury as its hearings
are private" said Edward Fl. Knight to-
day
The grievance committee refers it's
finding to the board of managers of the
association and the board has the right
to agree or reject the recommendations.
For that reason the names Of the at
torneys under investigation are not made
public until final action is taken by the
board of managers, said Mr.. Knight.
Attorneys who are under investigation
are always notified to appear before the
committee and they have the right TO
appear and state their side of the case or
stay away from the hearing.
At the last meeting Of the association
it was stated that complaints against
several lawyers would be investigated.

Gov. Lowden. for the first time since
halloting began. supplanted Gen. Wood
in first place in the fifth ballot for she
republican presidential nomination with
an unofficial total of 303 votes The
Illinois governor topped Wood by four
votes.
Hiram johnson retained third posi-
tion in the list though he dropped seven
votes from his total after yesterdays
final ballot
The spirit Of Gen. Woods demonstra
tion still brooded over the Coliseum to-
day and occasionally when a little air
shook the flag draperies, bore brightly
colored Wood feathers came fluttering
down.
Most of state standards were awry as
a result of having been twisted and
jerked from their positions during yes
terday's demonstrations. There was
tenseness in the atmosphere as delegates
and spectators came into the Coliseum
with the great climax imminent. The
band roared Sousa stuff in its usual bang
style
AS the delegates assembled there was
increasing talk of a move being afoot to
throw big blocks of votes to Harding.
This movement was expected to develop
after the early ballots.
Knots of delegates gathered In corners
of their floor space and talked over the
situation. Everyone seemed nervous. ThS
air was tense with the expectancy okz
something doing"
Lodge had great difficulty in obtainingS
order The a1sles were jammed and
were abuzz with talk. Delegates paid no
attention to the chairman.
Lodge finally called the sergeant at
arms and instructed him to take a squad
of deputies to the floor to clear the
aisles
With his heavy gavel the aged
Massachusetts, senator vigorously
pounded the table in front Of him
until it hoped from the floor. He
was particularly incensed at the In
diana delegation which paid abso-
lutely no attention to his demand
The convention finally came to order
and Lodge introduced Bishop Nicholson
of Chicago. who uttered an invocation.
When Bishop Nicholson concluded, the
uproar again broke out and Lodge had
his usual difficulty in bringing the dele
gates to order
At this juneture the New York dele
cation filed into their seats. 1t was

GOMPERS PUTS
NATIONAL G.. O. P.
ON BLACK LIST
100000 Labor Men to Be
Asked to Turn Backs on
Republicans.

MONTREAL. June i2.-President Sam
uei Gompers virtually black listed the
republican party today ar a special re-
port to the American Federation 81 Labor
convention here.
THE republican convention turned its
back upon labor" Gompers charged.
"The republican psrty platform IA
defiant in its defense Of the enemies OF
labor and calculated TO secure for them
fresh advantages and greatest privileges.
Gompers's report Will be spread broad
cast among labor's four million members
in the United States.
TURN HEAVY
GUNS ON G. o. r.
II is intended 10 direct the entire
political strength of labor against the
republican party.
Gompers took up the republican plat
form, plank by piank, and compared IT
with the demands % labor.
Concerning the plank on strikes. Com
pers said
"The entire plank constitutes denial
Of labor
"It will be noted that the platform
is silent on the essential point Of TIE
right Of wage earners to organize into
trade unions and to select their own rep
resentatives.
THE entire plank is denial of free
dom and is in addition subvcrs TO tho
best interests Of the repul lie.
1--WE call attention TO the fact that
specific proposals on the subject Of high
cost Of living submitted by labor are
ignored
"The declaration Of the republican
platform evadcs the issue and offers no
remedy
Labor. said Gompers. holds that In
our republic any attemp; TO overthrow
the government by violence is unneces-
sary and lndefonsible.
FONTS OUT
OTHER FLAWS.
The platform is silent, Gompers said.
on the following questions put before
it by labor:
Vigorous enforcement of the seamen's
act. enforcement of all the federal
maximum eght-hour laws and extension
Of them to all civil departments, enact
ment of a compensation law for federal
employees, election of federal judges and
elimination OF the authority of federal
courts to declare laws unconstitutional
Gompers scored the platform indorse-
ment of the Esch-Cummins law as a
complete denial and reputation of the
demands submitted by labor
Labor demanded repeal Of the law.
Gompers characterized the republican
plank on Mexico as clearly intended to
undermine the sovereignty OF the Mex
lean people and to make the maintenance
of order in Mexico the business OF tho
United States.
John Fitzpatrick labor leader, pre-
dicted that before the end of the year
the A. f. of L. may be compelled to take
steps to organize n national labor party.
1t is evident that Gompers is counting
on satisfactory labor plank In the
democratic platform at San Francisco.
Belief is expressed in some quarters
that, If the democrats do not insert a
platform that meets the wishes Of or
ganized labor Gompers will have to
withdraw his opposition to the formation
Of a labor party.
