LATE CABINET
ACTION GIVES
BRITAIN HOPE
Hold Up Premier's Manifesto
to Masses in Impending
National Tie-up.
OTHER STRIKES LOOM

LONDON, April 9.-The Cabinet
late this afternoon reconsidered and
held up the manifesto which Premier
Lloyd George planned to make pub
lie today, appealing to the masses to
support the government in the sit
uation growing out of the miners
strike.
The action of the Cabinet was
construed in official circles as in,
dicating that there may be some pos
sibility of averting the triple alliance
strike set for Tuesday.
It was officially announced at 6
O'Clock tonight that additional troops
have been sent to South Wales and to
Scotland ito aid in the preservation Of
national peace"
FURTHER STRIKES
ARE THREATENED.
The miners defiant attitude has begun
to encourage workers in other industries
to threaten strikes. The engineers at
the Welsh iron fOundries were reported
. to be resisting a threatened cut in wages,
announcing they viii walk out If 1t Is
enforced.

the flooding has already had disastrous
results.
Feverish aIl-night efforts to get the
miners and the government together
again were completely fruitless, but are
being continued. At this cabling there
seem no chance Of peace, for only
backdown by one side or the other can
avert the general strike OF the triple al

Trying Times
for z. Meeker
in Campaign
appointment of WOmen'S
Chairman Source of Dis
cussiOn bu Workers.

Paris, bordering over whether to pre-
sent the golden apple prize for beauty
to Venus, Minerva or Juno in mythical
days, had no more trying task than has
Thomas Meeker. Democratic city chair
man, attempting to iron out trouble
which has begun TO bubble among Dem
ocratic woman leaders in the past few
weeks.
Dissension has arisen over the appoint
ment by Mr.. Meeker Of Mrs. Martin L.
Reifel as Democratic womens city chair
man, and her subsequent moves.
The appointment Of Mrs. Reifel by Mr..
Meeker came as somewhat of a shock to a
great many Of the women who were active
in Democratic politics In the national
campaign last year. 1t was generally
thought that the appointment was engi-
neered by Miss Julia Landers, Demo-
cratic Seventh district womens chair
man. Those who were surprised were
members of the county wOmens organ
lzation which Mrs. Martha Yoh Marson
built up as Democratic county wOmen's
chairman last year. Mrs Marson kept
the organization alive for a time even
after the disastrous defeat suffered by
the party in November and it was thought
by her friends that she would have some
voice in the naming of her successor.
The friends, however, say that Miss Ian
ders and Mrs. Reifel quietly formed a
new organization and took up its leader
ship.
The county women's organization, 1t is
said, was willing to overlook this and
was preparing to fall in line. Mrs. Mar-
son declared herself a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for city clerk
Then came the move that has raised the
rumpus and aroused discussion OF the
womens wing OF the Democratic party.
Mrs. Reifers husband filed his declaration
Of candidacy for the Democratic nominal
ton for city clerk, and the fight was on.

Political Fight Is Back
of Real Fistic Encounter
Shareholder and Assistant Courthouse Gus
tOdian Mix Over Privilege.

AS a climax of a Republican political
fight for the control of the market stand
privileges in the courthouse yard, which
has been going on for a month, there was
a free-for all battle early today between
Gober Downey, 26, 3471a East Washing
ton street, a stand holder, and William
MCGEE, negro, 1910 Martindale avenue, an
assistant custodian at the courthouse.
Downey was arrested on the charge OF
assault and battery by a policeman VINO
witnessed the fight. DOwney put a "big
eye" on MCGEE, but MCGEE did not get
arrested after he flashed" a special pc
lice badge.
Downey said he paid City Marketmas-
ter Harry R. Ii Beau a Jewett appOintee,
and therefore a supporter of Mr.. Thomas
c. Howe's candidacy, 80 cents for the
privilege of having the stand on the
west side of the courthouse. Downey
said he camped out all night, guarding
ths seven-foOt board that marked his
stand that he might not be crowded out.
He stated MCGEE came to him today and
ordered him to move his stand.

He charged the Citizens Gas Company

SAYS
REJECTION OF
BIDS MISTAKE
Retiring Purchasing Secretary
Reviews State Institution
Coal Needs.

The joint State purchasing committee
made a serious mistake In rejecting all
bids for coal for State institutions, in
the opinion of Maurice Shelton, who is
retiring today as secretary Of the COM
mission ut the request Of Governor War
rem I. McCray 1t is understood Cover
nor McCray advised the rejection Of bidA
for coal.
Mr.. Shelton. in his statement, Issued
to the purchasing board, lists the amount
of coal used by each institution, totaling
.f68 62J tons.- als0. reviews the past
experiences Of the State In buying coal
md points out that something should
be learned from this experience.
His statement, in part, follows:
at has been the policy Of the commit
tee to burn Indiana coal at the various
State institutions. It is my opinion that
that policy should still be pursued. In
the recent call for bids the specifications
practically limited bidders to Indiana
coal.
PLANS FOR
COAL PURCHASE.
"The contract year In the coal bust
ness is from April to April l. The ex
perience of the past several years has
been that fair and reasonable prices and
satisfactory supply OF requirements were
obtained by those large consumers of
coal who made annual contracts for their
requirements as against those consumers
who relied on the purchase Of coal as
needed on the open market With this
in mind. through me as secretary. you
called for bids for coal for the period
from April l. 1921. to March 81, 1922. for
each of the institutions, and the bids and
proposed forms Of contract contemplated
adapting the source Of supply to the
points Of consumption so as to bring
about the most constant supply Of coal
over the shortest haul and the least
freight rate attached. Also the specihca-
lions contemplated getting the particular
kind and grade of coal which was adapt
Cd to the needs of the various institutions
as shown by experience
ION April 1 you were requested not
to let coal contracts on account of the
Governor believing that coal would be
cheaper and as a consequence you will
now he compelled to buy coal on the
open market for the various institutions.
1t is my feeling and fixed opinion that
this policy is a very hazardous one from
the standpoint Of the proper supply Of
the requirements Of the institutions, and
it IS likewise an unfair policy as applied

below any price which would probably
be offered on an annual requirement con-

Beau, in discussing the affair. MCGEE
has caused almost every stakeholder
who has stands on the courthouse yard
to move. He Is working under the d.
rection of Ben Peirce, custodian of the

money from stand holders who have paid
their money to the city for space along

pay the money to the custodian Of the
courthouse or his representative they are
ousted.
Peirce has forced every standholder
in the courthouse yard to sign a pledge

do not sign are forced to move off of the

BOARD GOES TO LEWISTON.

All three members OF the

J. F. Jenny, August Schroeder,

A. Pierce, plan on leaving Satm-
day morning for Lewiston where
they will hold an important con-

the cost of constructing the
North and South highway thro
the Cottonwood district via what
is known as the High Line"
by the Adm, Knopp and Bieren
ranches and via the Eckert
ranch, known as the Lower
Road. The "high line" it is
stated, is favored by the COM
missioners as well as by many
others. 1t is also reported to
be considered the cheapest route
to build. Both routes would
come out at the Baune ranch.
