tng definite 10 show there was corruption

been overcharging the board.
Commander Clements further admitted
that his investigation had disclosed that
1t was true contractors had been listing
laborers at so and 90 cents an hour and
then paid them only 10 cents an hour,
pocketina the difference.
Commander Clements testified that 1000
employees of the Shipping Board are
busy on books getting data in shape.

Blast in Wall st.
Due to Labor War,
". Y. World Says

NEW YORK. Nov. 1.-THE great Wall
street explosion Sept. 16, which cost
thirty lives and property damage OF mil
lions, was not caused by anarchistic or
red activities, but was the direct result
OF a war between rival labor unions in
New York. according TO sensational
story published by the Evening World
today after an Investigation Of weeks.
"The building trades graft was Respon-
sible for the crime" asserts the World.
The World said: THE Evening World
here presents proof that 1.sO0 men. nearly
all foreign born, sober. industrious. effi-
cient and well disciplined-H cusewreck-

was the result Of this tyranny.

sponsible for the crime. The Evening

RAILROAD RATE
HEARINGS OPEN
Commerce Body Takes Up
Plea for Intrastate Increases.

Whether Indiana railroads will be
granted additional increase In intrastate
rates than that already authorized by
.$Ae Public Service Commission of In
diana, now lies within the jurisdiction Of
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
which today opened its session at the
Federal Building, to receive evidence IN
the case. The feature of the case is the
question of the jurisdiction Of the Inter
state Commerce Commission to authorize
rate increases for intrastlte commerce.
The case is an Outgrowth Of q petit
tion fled with the Indiana Public Serv-
ice Commission asking for an increase OF
20 per cent increase In freight rates, and
a 20 per cent increase in passenger, bag
gage. milk and cream rates to bring the
tntrastate rates up to a level with the
Interstate rates which on Aug. % had
been increased to that standard by an
order Of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.
The petition as submitted was denied
by the public service commission, but
some relief was given the railroad com
panies Sept. IL, at which time the State
Commission granted authority to increase
by S3 1-3 per cent the rates on classified
freight and coal and prescribing maxi
mum coal rates on short hauls
Authority also was granted in the same
order TO increase general commodity rates

Gen. Pershing Finds
Cause to Rejoice on
End Anniversary

WASHINGTON, Nov 11.-on the oc-
casion Of second anniversary Of the sign
ing OF the armistice which ended the
nghttng Of the great war, the following
statement was issued by Gen. John j.
Pershing:
The second anniversary of Armistlce
Day finds undiminished the appreciation
Of those who comprehend the meaning
Of the great victory achieved on Nov. IL,
1918. This day will come to represent to
the civilized world what Independence
Day means to Americans. II struck the
death knell Of autocratic rule and re-
versed the doctrine that might makes
right IL marks a new epoch in history
and establishes a dividing line between
the old order and the new.
I'm our own country the guarantee for
good government lies in the awakening
OF the young patriotic citizens who con-
stituted our military forces and who
since the accomplishment Of their sacred
wartime mission, have returned to
peace-time pursuits with determination
to keep ever before them and their
neis hbors and communities the ideals
for which they fought. That the in
terests OF the nation will be well di-
rectsd and fully safeguarded by this
great citizen army OF veterans is beyond
doubt.
'In celebration Of this twentieth CEN
tury independence day we should pause
in prayerful tribute to the memory OF
those young Americans and those sons
Of our allies who gave their lives to per-
petuate our liberties. Their sacrifice was
for us and our future and their purpose
must remain our purpose"

Taggart left his political guests to en-
tertaln themselves at his famous French
Lick Springs hotel here and was speed
ing today toward Alabama. there to hunt
big and little game with Governor James

Just as the Democratic clan leaders

plans and departed for Louisville, KY.

and Senator Pat Harrison, of Mississippi.

Bureau. From Louisville, the trio was
to proceed into the Alabama hunting
grounds TO stalk game for two weeks.
1--WE are going up Salt Greek, where the
wading is fine" Taggart said with
laugh, as he boarded his train. Incl
dentally we are going to forget that there
ever was an election in Indiana and for
that matter blot Nov. :, 1920, entirely
out of our minds. for the time being at
least We expect to kill q couple Of
bears and q bunch of fine birds. Maybe
some of the Republicans who are having
such excellent homecomings these days
will find the weather fine up Salt Creek
four years hence. It's all In the game,
you know"
Many Democratic leading lights have
come out Of the East and are taking the
"rest cure" at Taggart's establishment
and the Hoosier oracles sudden depart

Republican leaders also are here to
watch the step of their Democratic
brethren Fred W. Upham, Republican

GOODRICH AND
MORAY BREAK
GovernOr-Elect Puts Brakes
on When Governor Tries to
Dictate Appointment.

The long expected open break between
Governor Goodrich and Warren I. Nc.
Cray. Republican Governor-elect, de-
vrloped today, whom the latter served
notice on the Governor that he could not
approve OF the reappointment Of Philip
Zoercher aB a member OF the state
board OF tar commissioners.
Friends OF McCrsy are charging that
Goodrich double crossed him in nam
ing Zoercher, a Democrat to another
four-year term on the board. It is said
the Governor called McCray into con
ference following his election for the
announced purpose OF discussing sew
eraI appointments that must be made
before the frst OF the year Goodrich
let Il be known that inaEmueh as the new
appointees must serve most Of their
term with McCray he desired 70 select
men favorable to the Goyernor-elect,
McCray suggested the name OF John j.
Brown, Republican. OF Rockville, to sue
ceed Strange N. Cragun. whose term ex-
pires Dec. !. and his appointment was
confirmed by Goodrich. Accray declares
he was led to believe ZOerchers term
would not end until next May and that
his reappointment would not come until
after he had assumed the gubernatoriai
reins.
in HIS campaign addresses. he now con
tends he is opposed to the reappointment
of any Of the members of the board. He
Is set especially against Z.,ercher and,
according TO his friends, will take steps
to unseat him at the frSt opportunity.
IT Is apparent that Governor Goodrich,
through the appointment Of zoercher and
the fact that Fred A. Sims is a hold
over member, sought to perpetuate his
taxation policies throughout the Nc
Cray regime.
Zoercher declared this morning he had
nothing to say regarding McCray's OPP
position to his retention on the board
and furthermore asserted be would shave
nothing to say in the future"
This leaves tho hght between McCray
and Goodrich and political observers

LABOR SURPLUS
GROWING, BUT is
NOT ALARMING
Abnormal in Only One or Two
Phases Over Pre-War
Standards.
DETROIT HARDEST HIT

CHICAGO, Nov. 11-Barometers Of Ia
bor in the Midwest today showed little
indication of any extensive slump in the
demand for workers.
While industries IN sor1s spots have
slowed down, laying of a large number
of men-the automobile manufacturers be-
ing the outstanding example-the ma
jority of employers OF labor on a large
scale are showing few signs Of let
down. A survey Of labor conditions in
the Midwest showed that while a surplus
of labor was reported in practically every
city, IN only one or two places was 1t
abnormal, compared with pre-war normal
conditions.
This surplus has been created by a
slowing up in a few industries only. The
automobile plants of the Middle We9t
have laid off thousands of men; the
garment makers are going through
critical period, with approximately 30
per cent of the demand for labor as dur
Ing the war; the leather plants have
slackened their speed.
Practically all lines Of work which are
now slowing down are the ones which
developed the greatest during the war
boom. In the oil fields Of the Southwest,
which enjoyed a mushroom growth dur
ing the lnSt rev years anu IuEulsneu eAu-
ployment for thousands of men, an over
supply of labor is reported. Five hun
dred unemployed were reported by the
Oklahoma State employment office IN
Tulsa-the first time in years there have
been more men than jobs.
The great industries OF steel machinery,
packing In most instances. railroads,
have yet failed to show any alarming
slackening in the demand for men. In
Gary, Ind, the heart OF the steel in
dustry Of the Middle West, a large sign
over the American Bridge Company
works reads: Men wanted" Approx
imately the same number Of men are
employed in the steel plants OF the Mid
die West as during war time.
John Glenn, secretary OF the Illinois
Manufacturers Association, said that
while there Is some employment, It is
very slight. Some OF this is due to the
fact that plants are now taking yearly
inventories, Glenn said. The Illinois Free
Employment Agency said It was able to
hnd work for most OF its applicants.

TOSEEK WAY OUT
OF THREATENED
DAMAGE ACTION
County Council Calls Board
of Accounts to Meeting
Tomorrow.
BRIDGE CONTRACT IS UP

Members of the Indiana State Board
Of Accounts today were asked by the Ma
rion County council to attend a meet
ing IN the county commissioners court
tomorrow morning to determine the va
iidity Of a contract awarded the Yawger
Construction Company for the erection
of the Northwestern avenue bridge
Because of the failure to dispose OF
a $500 600 bond issue at per cent, cou-
pied with doubt on the legality Of the
Yawger contract, which has been taken
Aser by William n. Price, receiver for
the construction company, the road has
been out OF commission for months, and
unless Immediate action is taken the road
may be idle for months to come.
Attorney Merle N. A. Walker, repre-
senting Mr. Price, appeared before the
county council today and asked that
body to increase the interest on the
bond issue from to 8 per cent on the
understanding that the construction COM
pany would take over the bonds to per-
NIT the Immediate resumption Of work
on the road and bridge.
STATEMENT BY
AUDITOR FEsLER.
County Auditor Leo K. Fesler SAID
ne would pay no claims on the basis Of
completed work and would stand ON the
first ruling Of the State board OF ao-
counts.
"I would take no middle position be-
tween the State board OF accounts and
the contractor" said Auditor Fesler.
'Tn the meantime the road is blocked,
citizens are denied the use Of the road
which may be blocked for months TO
come" said County Commissioner Carlin
Shank.
Attorney Walker said that in his opin-
ion the State Board Of Accounts erred
An it's opinion that the original contract
with the Sheehan Construction Company
could not be modified legally to allow
the Yawger Company to build the bridgk
and raise the approach.
The Sheehan Company was granted the
contract for raising the grade to the
present bridge and at a later time the
&&Ouncil decided to build a new bridge,
which caused a new contract to be made
with the Yawger people for the erection
OF the bridge. The Yawger contract over
Tapped part of the original contract held
by the Sheehan Construction Company,
and for a certain sum a setu ament was
made with the sheehan Company.
