ganized labor throughout the State.
Railroad men in Logansport are al
most unanimously opposed to Harding
and in favor of the Democratic candi-
date for President, Mr.. Cotner declares.
Their opposition to Harding is based
largely upon Harding's attitude toward
organized labor, in Mr.. Cotner's opinion.
Harding's record proves him to be al
lied with those interests that are op-
posed to unions, he said.
II have had dozen mechanics employed
in the shops in my home town tell me
they are opposed to Harding" said Mr..
Cotner.
\''They say they intend to support Cox.
81 have been told the same thing by
mechanics In Indianapolis and in other
parts of the State.
"Cox's record on labor issues during
his term as Governor of Ohio commend
him to organized labor every where.
working men in Indiana are familiar
with his record and because OF it they
intend to. give the Democratic candidate
their support"
Labor finds very lite to comfort II
in Harding's speech on Labor day." MIR.
COtner said In conclusion.

(By international News service.)
NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-Have you
ever tried TO push ar pull a good
sized touring car?
If you have you can appreciate the
task that Lew Levy undertook when
he wagered that he could pull two
loaded automobiles a distance OF five
miles.
Levy is known as the human tug"
and he proved that he Is all Of that
and then some.
he won the wager and finished
strong.
Two big touring cars were selected
for the stunt.
They were placed side by side-not
tandem fashion-which would have
been much easier for Levy.
A stout towing rope was fastened
to the bumpers Of the ears and Levy.
standing in front of the cars, placed
the rope around his neck and shoul-
ders yoke fashion.
A man driver was at the steering
wheel Of each car and the cars were
filed with children, as many In each
car as could be accommodated.
Levy leaned forward and strained
at the tow-rope.
1t took a mighty effort to get the
cars in motion.
When this was accomplished Levy.
at a moderate walk, tOwed the cars
the distance of FIVE miles without
stopping.
The stars was made at Sea Gate
and over an ordinary pavement be
pulled the automobiles to Coney
, Island Hospital and back again.
He covered the distance in a min
utes and 80 seconds.
The children enjoyed the ride and
Levy, Seemingly, enjoyed the role Of
substitute for two perfectly good
automobile motors, for at the finish
he was handed $3.50, the amount Of
the wager.
