LOBBY FIGHTS
FOR REPEALOF
TEACHERS ACT
Senator HOgstOn Pre-
pared to Introduce
Bill.
ASK SPECIAL TAX
Copies of Resolutions
Circulated Freely
at StatehOuse.

A lobby against the present teach
ers' retirem ent fund law was very
much in evidence as the Legislature
convened today. Senator Alfred
Hogston of Marion was prepared to
introduce a bill repeating the law
and substituting tax levy for the
present insurance features.
The legislators when they reached
the respective houses found on their
desks resolutions passed by teachers
demanding the repeal Of the law.
One Of the resolutions was signed by
Albert II. Hau, county superintendent Of
Grant County, in behalf Of the Grant
County Teachers Institute. The resolu,
ton reads:
I'VE, the teachers OF the towns and
townships Of Grant County, stand op-
posed to the Indiana State retirement law
and favor the repeal of the law passed
in 1915 and all amendments to the same,
and pray that You use your influence 10
fhiz end. A similar resolution came
from the teachers OF the Marion city
schools It carried lis signatures.
The following resolution came from the
Wayne County teachers:
Whereas, the teachers Of Wayne
County formed a pension unit under the
law OF 1919 and the Legislature Of 1921
attempted to amend the law in such a
way that it does not meet the needs Of
the teachers and is Objectionable to the
teachers Of our unit in that ~ the new
law forces beginning teachers to join the
pension unit against their wishes and (2)
that Il forces members Of the old pension
unit into a new system which is far in
ferlor to the old and without the con-
sent Of the members Of the old system
which is directly cancehnE a bona fide
contract made with our teachers six years
ago and (9) 10 carry out the new law
makes it prohibitory upon old teachers
remaining in the profession and az the
whole tenor Of the new law Is undemo-
cratic, therefore be 1t resolved: That we,
the teachers OF the Wayne County unit,
request that some action be taken by the
special coming section Of our Legisla- e.
ture, repeating the present law and re-
turn to the old Indiana State Teachers
Retirement Law with such amendments
as would meet the needs Of our teachers
and the betterment Of our schools and
would make the old law financially safe.
'Be 1t further resolved. That this body
of teachers indorse the action taken by
the teachers of Marion and Of Grant
County asking for the repeal of the pres
ent lew and that we request our Senator
and our two Representatives to support
such measures as presented by the great
body OF teachers.
Unanimously adopted by the teachers
Of the Wayne County unit in convention
assembled this, the 18th day Of December,
1921"
1t was signed by the following com
mttee: Emerson Cloyd, chairman; Eliz-
abeth Lashley, George G. Ranck, James 9,

The history of the Reformatory bill
then was taken up by the Governor. He
gave as the reasons for not moving the
institution to Putnam County, as provided
in the bill, the fact that it was thought
to be inadvisable to combine the Re
formatory and the State Farm, as orig
inally contemplated, and the fact that
ION account Of the physical daily require
ments Of an institution of this kind and
the utter failure of that territory to fur
nish such requirements, the penal farm

this mistake was partly due to the fact
that he had not Leen in office sufficiently

uatiOn.

The investigation upon which the lat

which the board of public safety was

in the department which would entitle
indianapolis to rating as a second, in

preliminary to a substantial reduction in
fire insurance rates.
The report covers the department much
more exhaustively than has been the case
heretofore and points out more defects,

BITTER WORDS
EXCHANGED IN
DALI EIREANN
De Valera Challenges
Delegates Right to
Sign Pact.
COLLINS REPLIES
Declares People May
Judge Whether He
Is Traitor

DUBLIN, Dec. IA bitter ciasn
between Eamonn De Valera and
Michael Collins marked the opening
of the all Eireann to consider the
Anglo-Irish peace pact today.
"The Irish peace delegates at Lon
don exceeded their instructions" De
Valera charged.
Collins, leader of the Sim Fein
army, who signed the peace pact,
leaped to the floor and cried:
Some men call me a traitor! l
will meet them any time, anywhere
now, as in the past!"
The Dali decided to hold public ses-
sion at IL n. m tomorrow to discuss the
treaty openly. This decision was reached
after II had been agreed to hold pre-
liminary secret meeting this morning.
DE VALERA
OPENS ARGUMENT.
II was during discussion on the motion
4, hold a secret session that the clash
between De Valera, Collins and Arthur
Griffith developed. De Valera began the
argument by challenging the right OF the
ueaee delegates 70, hare signeazthe. AE2Ar
don treaty. He contended the pact
should have been sent to Dublin for maj
decision before II was signed.
THE delegates only we're empowered to
negotiate" he said.
In the midst Of this argument, Grf-
fifth. who also signed the London pact,
Jumped up and asked:
..Is there any suggestion that the dele
gates exceeded their instructions:
The argument proceeded heatedly un-
til Collins took the floor and challenged
the Irish president. His eyes were bel
Iigerent and he waved his fist in the air
significantly.
OTHER DELEGATES
REMAIN CALM.
The other delegates sat grimly in their
chairs watching the clash without any
sign OF emotion.
II have been called traitor" Collins
cried. Let the Irish people de- de
whether l am or not"
Collins read his credentials as a peace
delegate showing that he and the Others
were empowered to conclude an agree
ment. He declared they had not signed
the document as a treaty but only with
the understanding that they would rec
ommend acceptance.
Most of the 100 members of Dali Fire
ann slipped into the building unrecog
nized.
Cathal Brugha. one Of the Sim Fein
ministers supporting De Valera. and
Austin Stack, who has frequently acted
as courier for the Sim Feiners during
the peace negotiations, rode TO the build
ing on bicycles.
De Valera drove up in an automobile
accompanied by a secretary. As he made
his way through the crowd the Sim
Fein chieftain frequently raised his hat
in answer to the applause.
De Valera's face was lined AID care
worn. He walked erect. however, and
with a firm stride. He looked straight
ahead and the stern gleam in his eyes
showed he was ready for battle.
Arthur Griffith entered shortly after
De Valera. He seemed to be emLar-
rassed by the chees of the crowd and
hurried toward the doorway at topmost
speed.
Michael Collins and the other Irish re-
publican army chiefs arrived last. They

The necessity for a more central loca-
tion for the institution was emphasized
by the Governor. He declared that 70

that in many cases counties must pay
LOG per cent more car fare in transport
ing prisoners to Jeffersonyille than they
would If the institution were centrally

The proposal to move the reformatory
