INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, July Is
Tangled in the intricacies OF the tax
problem the special session OF the
Indiana general assembly struggled
through sessions Thursday morning
and afternoon and through a caucus
of house republicans early Thursday
evening, apparently without making
any headway. Republicans OF the
lower house seemed divided when
they left a caucus which lasted three
hours starting at 3 p. m. The ques-
tiOn before the caucus was what 10

supreme courts decision declaring
invalid the horizontal increases made
by the state tax board. Both houses
met again tonight at 1880 in an effort
to make progress toward a sine eta
adjournment.
DisapprOVe Plan.
A proposition for a new tax bill
drafted at a conference Thursday
held by Gov. James p. Goodrich with
some OF his advisers apparently did
not meet the approval Of many re-
publicans. This bill would refer the
equalization Of valuations back to
the county boards Of review which
would make new equalizauons and
then make new reports 10 the state
board. The state board would then
make its equaliZations by counties
and omit making any equalization by
townships which latter method re-
suited in the supreme court decision.

during the day on the tax problem

WANTS STATE
TO REGULATE
COAL MINES
Gov. Goodrich Will Present
Measure Proposing Coal
Commission for State.
By Associated Press

- -Ns'NpNAdAtu russ
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. July IS
appointment by Gov James P.
Goodrich Of a commission 10 fix the
price Of coal and regulate the sup
ply Of fuel in Indiana is proposed in
a bin which the governor has under
consideration for presentation to the
special session of the Indiana gener-
al assembly. The. governor has
called upon Atty. Gen. Stansbury
and Ferdinand Winter. an Indian
apolis attorney TO pass upon the
legality Of the bill If their decis-
ION is favorable il will be placed be-
tore the legislators. A report is ex-
pected from them Friday.
The proposed bill would provide
for the appointment of the Indiana
coal commission which would have
the power TO fix the price of coal
within the state and also to regulate
the distribution of coal. Provision
Is made in the bill that in event Of
an operator refusing to abide by the
orders of the commission or OBJ
structing production of coal his
mines may be taken over and oper-
ated by the commission. The com
mission would return TO the operat-
or Of any conhscated mine a fair
profit during state operation.
Similar 10 1917 Act.
The proposed bill is said to be
similar TO an act drafted by w. II.
Thompson, indianapolis attorney,
while he was counsel for the state
council Of defense in 1917. Enact
ment Of the bin was made unneces-
sary at that time because the fed
eral government took charge of the
fuel supply.
Whether the bill might be in con-
fiict with the powers of the Inter
state Commerce commission is one
OF the most difficult questions with
which the drafters have to contend.
The coal situation has been men
toned frequently during the spec
lal session. A resolution was intro
duced in the house Thursday by
Rep. j. w. Winesburg of Wabash
county calling for the appointment
of committee from the house 10
inquire of the attorney general il
steps can be taken TO relieve what
Speaker Jesse Z. Eschbach has
characterized as the "Intolerable
coal situation Of Indiana"
The resolution was adopted by
the committee provided for in the
resolution Friday.

GIRLS IGNORE SOLEMN
 TRIBUTE, ARE WHIPPED
London Women Administer Thrashing to Those Who
 Scoff Soldier Dead.

London, Nov. 11.-Girl employees in the offices of Sylvia Pankhurst's com munistic paper, The Workers Dread nought, in Fleet street, were thrashed and the offices upset just after II o'clock today by an angry crowd.
 The leaders of the party which raided the offices alleged that during the two minutes of solemn silence in honor of the fallen dead, as provided for in the armistice day program some of the women in the office were sing ing, dancing and banging tin cans"
 At II o'clock all traffic on Fleet street was halted and the great crowds stopped and stood respectfully at att tention. It is claimed that amidst this tribute there came from the Work CTS Dreadnaught offices a frightful racket and sounds of revelry.
 The indignant crowd in the street waited until the two minutes had passed and then a mob of them and women said to have been led by work men invaded the Dreadnaught offices. The men stood aside while the women invaders gave the girls in the office sound trouncing. This continued until the police arrived.
 One of the girl employees later said that the members of the publications force who did not believe in the tribute of silence continued dusting the office and made some noise but did not think it could be heard in the street.
