field with respect to what is called the
check-off provision. The check off is n
voluntary assignment by the employe OF
so much Of his wages as may be Necessary
to meet his union dues and his direction
20 his employers to pay the amount to
the treasury Of his union.
The contract provision is legal and
there are many lawful purposes for
which the dues may be used.
THE Bordcrland Company is not n
pnrty to the contract and If nothing else
should prevent the company being given
that part Of the decree abolIshing the
check off contracts would suffice.
From the record as 1t now stands, we
are convinced that the District Court

should be rccast and Is remanded for that

tives in efforts to get the classification
raised during the past two years.
The statement in full is as follows:
"The indianapolis Fire Department is
now on the very highest plane Of its
history. Efforts to discredit the de
partment have been few and only come
from three bases. There has been for
four years a persistent, constructive pro-
gram during which time many changes
and Improvements have been effected.
There are on file records ample to
substantiate the above. We have under
date of Feb. 8. 1921, a letter specifically
agreeing TO classify indianapolis In the
second class ian elevation from its
present classification of fourtb) as and
when the certain plans were carried out
and completed. These plans were dis
cussed thoroughly with representatives
Of the national board of fire under
writer's during the month Of December
and on two occasions prior to that time
and they are not only morally bound to
change the classification, now that full
compliance has been had, but must meet
their written promise. The fire depart
ment of Indianapolis while not only serv-
ing an ever increasing area IS serving
almost fifty millions of increased build
ing improvements, besides immense value
of property contained.
Taking the lowest present possible
rate, 1t may readily be conjectured that
there is available In prospect upwards of
two hundred thousand dollars per annum
Of insurance premiums on these physical
improvements and their contents. Our
board feels that the tax payer and the
insurance premium buyer, being one and
the same, will expect equitable dealing.
No doubt, the incoming commissioners

HELD
BY BOLSHEVISTS

LONDON, Dec 15.-Bolshevist ten
denotes are sweeping through Portugal
according to reports reaching the Foreign
Office today. The country is without a
government, the cabinet having been
forced to resign Wednesday.
The overthrow Of the ministry was
brought about by the Portuguese revo-
lutionary committees, which seated the
cabinet ut Lisbon after the recent revo-
luton. It was headed by Major Pinto.
All parts of the country are disturbed
and torn by unrest. Clashes between the
hostile factions are occurring continu-
ousIy. 1t is possible that the suggestion
of foreign Intervention will be seriously
considered by London, Paris, Madrid and
Rome, If affairs get worse.

BUILDING TRADE
COUNCIL BACKS
FUND CAMPAIGN
Also Points Public to Drive
to Sell It's Skill to
Public.

In a statement issued today by the
Marion County Building Trades Council
the Community CHEST is Endorsed and
the council calls the attention of the
public TO the fact that it is now con-
Quoting a campaign "to sell the skill"
of its members to the people Of Indian
apolis.
The statement is as follows:
THE Marion County Building Trades
Council indorses the Community Chest
campaign now under way. Organized Ia
Dor. when 1t comes TO q call for help or
human need, is never found coming up
in the rear.
aside from urging liberal cOntribu-
tions to the Community Chest on the
part of all organized labor, this council
has undertaken a novel proposition, that
of selling the skill of the members OF
the various crafts which make up that
body to the people of this community.
THE idea of building construction
artisan drive is even more novel than
that of labor union advertising. This
council believes it is going about 1t in
the right way-through the most modern
and up-to- date method, that of the news
paper pulpit. In its advertising cam
paign their product (their skilD Is put
up on its merits and quality Of service
1t proposes to Great a demand for the
product of its members by educating the
building construction buyer, showing
him the advantages Of their proficiency
and competency.
THE winter season, now at our doors,
affords the best possible opportunity 10
acquaint prospective builders and the
general public. When the building sea-
son opens In the spring of 1922-but tHere
is no need to stop building now-they
will have shown their product and its ad
vantages. Public sentiment will have
been gained, it is sanguinely expected,
and steady work at saving wages viii be
their reward, while the purchaser Of
their proficiency will find it is the best
investment ever made"

HOLDS CIRCLE
BUILDING LIMIT
UPTO EXPERTS
Architects Should Determine
Question of Height,
Jewett Says.
MAYORS STATEMENT

Monetary considerations should not be
permitted to mar or detract in the least
from the grandeur Of the Soldiers and
Sailors monument, declared Mayor
Charles W. Jewett today in expressing
his views upon the movement to have
the building height limit in Monument
Place raised from Sc TO 124 feet. Before
eny change in the present limit is made
8 committee of architects with the city
plan commission should study the Monu-
ment Place problem and their recommen-
dations should be drafted into a State
law, he said.
If it is found the property around the
Circle can not be improved without
spelling the effect of the Monument the
valuation of the property for taxation
purposes should be reduced in accordance
with the decreased earning power of the
buildings, the mayor said.
He gave out q statement as follows:
Before any ordinance becomes a law,
changing the height of buildings around
the Monument. the proposition should be
carefully studied by a committee Of ac-
credited architects in conjunction with
the city plan commission to the end that
whatever is worked out will be done in
such a way as not to detract in the least
from the Monument. If the height Of
buildings can be increased and still main
tain the proper setting for the monument.
all well and good, but 1 am opposed to
permitting perpendicular height of build
ings around the Monument that will
make that beautiful structure appear as
q candle stuck in the bottom Of a two
bushel measure.
"a mistake now can not be rectified,
therefore we should move cautiously and
with the assistance and advice or
architects who can fOresee effects before
any change is made.
after a plan is devised that does not
detract from the monument, then a
regulation should be made by state law
enacted by the Legislature. The surround
ings TO the monument are far to i'm
portant to be changed without the best
scientific knowledge as to the effect such
change will produce
eff It is impossible to so improve prop
erty about the Circle that it viii derive
q revenue commensurate with its value
such restriction as is placed on it should
be taken into consideration in assessing
property for taxation and the valuation
for taxation should be decreased in pro
portion to the earning power Of the
property under such restriction. At any
rate, monetary considerations should not
be permitted to mar or detract in the
least from this splendid edifce that has
made indianapolis distinctive the world
over"
An ordinance raising the building
height limit is pending in the city coun

Tho changes Judge Anderson is or
dered to make IN the injunction are very
much along the line Of those suggested
by W. 4. Glasgow, attorney for the
United Mine Workers Of America at the
time tho injunction was issued. Nov. ..
Mr. Glasgow made a hard fight before
Judge Anderson for a modification of the
injunction to permit the collection Of the

ton should prohibit the spending of the
money so collected for any Illegal pur-
pose, but should not so SO far as to en-
Join the system itself.
At the time the injunction was issued
labor leaders declared the decision, if
upheld in the higher courts, would mean
the death Of union labor in America.

TOMORROW OR SATURDAY.

The expectation prevails that a plenary

deliberations has been running an inter
esting little side show dealing with Jap
anese conditions at home, which has
been the chief factor Of delay.
According to official Japanese sources,
the Toxic delegates have been put in a
delicate position. The japanese press,
the labor element and the home poll
ticians' have been loudly critical OF
Japan's accepting the 5-5-3 ratio
Baron Kato has impressed this upon
his conferees and pointed out to them the
need for assuaging Japanese public

complications that might assume men
acing proportions at a later date.
