FIGHT
WAGE INCREASE
Call Expert Witness to Show
Decline in Living Costs.

CHICAGO, Nov. 24.-Living costs now
on the run, win continue dropping in
definitely, expert witnesses testified to-
day In the supplementary hearing before
United States Judge Alschuler on wage
demands OF 100000 packing house
workers.
The hearing was reopened on conten-
ton Of the company chat wages and
living costs are tending downward and
a blanketNipcrease of 81 day is no
longer justified.
The present price declines are backed
by financial uncertainty, plant closings,
lower wages and a general demand for
thrift" J. L. Wells, economist, witness
:or the packers, declared.
Wells cited recent statistics of the
bureau of labor showing declines in food
costs of 3 per cent in October. Other
figures were produced by Wells to prove
prices Of all essentials have tumbled 5.4
per cent during the last month.
Other witnesses for the packers con
tended the drop amounted to 10 per cent
during the last year on all articles ex-
cept food and clothing, which they said
fell 30 per cent. The greatest reductions
were made last month, they commended.
Attorneys for the employees agreed the
tendency Of prices had been downward,
but argued it was only a mirage and
with reopenihg of European markets the
increased demand would again cause
price ascensions similar TO those follow
ing declines In September, 1919.
The employees representatives also
pointed out that the fall in prices has
not been reflected in retail markets and
the workers have gained no benefits In
stances were cited IN the packing in
dustry where the retail figures nave ad-
yanced with lower who lesale markets.
Articles which have been made
cheaper recently still are higher IN
price than last April. they claimed.

bitter Of the wage controversy, again
took the employees demands under ad
visement following closing arguments Of

TO ADJUST WAGE
SCALE OF MINERS
Anthracite Controversy to Be
Considered Dec. 1.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-Secretary Of
Labor Wilson today Issued a call for
q meeting in Washington of the Joint
scale committee Of the miners and oper-
ators of the anthracite field for Dec. 1.
at p. m, to adjust the wage scale of
the anthracite miners.
The secretary's decision to call the
two scale committees was made follow
ing a conference between MT. Wilson
and a subcommittee OF the miners, head
ed by Thomas Kennedy of Hazleton, Pa.
1t is expected that the conference viii
be. an important one, as Secretary VIII
son probably will define at that time
the Governments attitude toward re-
opening the award of the United StateS
Anthracite Commission. He also is ex-
pected to say whether 1t was intended
the operators should consider demands
from the anthracite miners for wages
equal to the n per cent advance granted

KNOX WILL PUSH
HIS PEACE PLAN
Spikes Report He's to Be
Secretary of State.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-Peace with
Germany by congressional resolution
should be accomplished as soon as pos
sible, Senator Knox Of Pennsylvania said
today. He announced his intention Of
introducing his peace resolution as soon
as Congress convenes, but whether he
will press action during the short session
depends on views of the majority Of his
Republican colleagues and President-elect
Harding.
Knox was Of the opinion that immediate
action on his peace resolution might come
as i result of proposed canvass Of Dem
ocratic sentiment. He was inclined to
think that as result of the election the
views Of some Democratic Senators might
be changed to vote for overriding a pres
idential veto Of the peace resolution.
One Of the first acts Of Senator Knox
was to spike the report that he is slated
10" he post OF Secretary of State in the
Harding cabinet.
Nobody Las any authority from me
to speak about it," he declared when
asked point blank. if there were any
truth In the widely circulated report of
his being tentatively chosen for that po-
sition
ANY one who says I contemplate IL,
or have any reason TO contemplate it. is
speaking entirely without my authority"

BOCHE ATLAST
FORCE WAY TO
LEAGUE FLOOR
Hun Protest Against Colony
Distribution to Come
Up Thursday.
MILLEN LEADS FIGHT

GENEVA. Nov. 24--Germany has
forced her way into the League of Ma
tons discussions. The whole German
situation will be canvassed Thursday
when her protest against the distribu-
ton of her colonies under mandate IS 10
be discussed.
E. d. Millen, Australia, with the as
sistance Of President Hyman, carried
the fight through Vlviani of France,
Tittoni Of Italy and Balfour Of Great
Britain. usually at the forefront in any
discussion bearing on the Germans, took
no part in the debate.
In an interview today, Millen de-
clared:
1T was necessary to call showdown
on Germany's impotence. Berlin was
inspired by two motives in sending that
impertinent note. threatening she would
no longer consider herself bound by the
colones clause Of the treaty.
"She hoped to gain disruption or the
league and disagreements among league
members. Then she hoped to obtain post
ponement Of distribution Of mandates I'M
til she becomes a member Of the league
Qualities as a mandatory power herself
and thus again obtains control Of heI
former colonies.
Australia Will Insist on a distribution
OF mandates as previously agreed on. We
are opposed to giving Germany the slight
est consideration. 1t is none Of Berlin's
business how the mandates are handled
Her rights to the territories were sacri-
feed forever Whether the supreme coun-
ell or the league IS entitled to dispose
of them is purely technical matter, az
between the allies and the league"
Mlllen declared he intended to demand
today that Germany's tactics "be ex-
| posed" He expected full support from
France and Belgium. The assembly prac-
tically decided yesterday to await the
new administration in the United States
before attempting amendments to this
covenant

Given Half Interest
in Property by Court

Judge Linn D. Hay OF Superior Court,
room 2, today held that William z. Chris
tan was entitled to one-half interest in
a former roadhOuse near the fair ground
which was known as the Christian Road
house.
Christian, following the death OF his
father fled suit in the Superior Court
against Mrs. Maggie Christian, wife Of
his father, asking that he be given clear
title to the roadhouse site which had
been sold to the Lake Erie Railroad.
The evidence showed that the father,
prior TO his death. had Illegally trans
ferred the interest Of his son to his wife.
Judge Hay held that the court would
take no steps to modify the sale Of the
site to the railroad, but that the plaintiff
was entitled 70 one-half Of the money OBJ
tained by Mrs. Christian from the sale
Of the property.
Attorney Emsley johnson, representing
Christian, stated his client would abide

WELSBACH co.
AGAIN WARNED
City Will Cancel Contract if
Lights Not Kept Up.

The board Of public works today threat
ened to cancel the contract Of the Wells
bach Street Lighting Company of Amer
Tea for the care and operation of gas
street lights in indianapolis unless the
lights are inspected and cleaned oftener.
The threat was contained in a letter
which the board ordered Clerk William
Cleary to write to A S. Colin, local SUI
perintendent for the Welsbach Company.
Il was made after Board Member Thomas
A. Riley demanded that the contract be
cancelled forthwith because the company
has failed to heed repeated warnings Of
the board to keep the lights In better
condition.
The welsbach Company has a con-
tract with the city to maintain the gas
lamp standards, globes, NANTES, etc,
from Dec. 20. 1918. to Dec. 20. 1921. The
company receives S1432 per year. per
lamp. for the service. When the contract
was made there were Isl such lamps
Additions have increased the number Ia
1856. The city has an option on the
additional standards when tho contract
expires.
Mr.. Riley said he was moved code
mand the cancellation Of the contract
particularly by the condition OF the lamps
Tenth street
They look like they had never been
touched since the day they were in
stalled" he said THE globes are 1irty
and the mantles fallen so that they give
out a weak, entirely insufficient light
Under the contract the Welsbach Com
pauy agrees 20 make inspections and
clean every lamp at least once every sen
days. but Ill venture % say there ara
some IN the city that have never been
touched since they we're put up.
The whole trouble is that the Wells
bach Company Is trying to get along toe
cheaply. Not enough inspectors are hired
to come near making the inspections and
repairs required by the contract.
We've reported this condition TO the
superintendent time after time and got
no results"
The board confirmed resolutions for tbs
vacation Of the 1rst alley north OF Wal
nut street from Illinois TO Pierson streets
and for the vacation Of Harmon street
from Mccarthy 20 Norwood streets.
