this organization The vote last night
was brought about following receipt Of
letter from the building contractors,
| notifying the unions that the new scale
8Apf wages would go into effect Monday,
VSnd asking for an extension OF time for
further negotiations, but under the new
spay schedule
UNIONS REPLY
WITH ULTIMATUM.
The unions replied to this letter, stat
sing that the old schedule must stand,
pending negotiations, and giving the con-
tractors until o'clock Friday evening TO
reply. The contractors replied to this
letter with a statement that their letter
=of the morning would stand.
Negotiations have been under way be
tween the contractors for a period Of
fOrty-1ve days, beginning March 1, when
Ethe agreement between the carpenters
and contractors expired At this time
the contractors asked for and were
granted thirty days in which to formu-
late and present a new scale Of wages.
This new scale carried a reduction of Is
10 % per cent pay cut in the various
building crafts.
The cut in wages forms the chief con-
tention over which the contractors and
.wOrkmen have conducted negotiations.
Other matters, affecting individual crafts,
also have entered into the difficulty, chief
of which is the overtime provision. The
latter matter. however, did not enter into
the action taken last night

Company and president Of the Building

HOWE FAILS TO AROUSE
ANY ENTHUSIASM.

AM In SLASH.
The feature of the speaking campaign
now in progress is the failure of Mr..
Howe to arouse any enthusiasm ana the
remarkable ease with which Shank
gathers crowds where ever he goes.
Mr. Robson is talking more to the
point than either of his opponents and
the result is that he is the only one of
the candidates who Is making appreciate
gains at present.
Conspicuous for its absence from this
campaign Is the issue of law enforce
ment. No one seriously believes that any
of the candidates contempltes either an
open town or a blue law" town. The
detection of Caleb s. Denny, former adj
herent of the News -Jewett crowd. from
Howe to Robson and the inactivity OF
Thomas c. Day, former head Of the good
government" league, has left the Howe
adherents without much chance Of claim
ing to be the only Simeon pure advocates
Of moral government"
To add to these difficulties. Mr. Howe
stubbed his toe in his first speech when
he declared that he was against enforc-
Ing the viii OF the majority Of citizens
on the minority II such inforcement con
/ fiicted with the consciences Of the min
ority.
The News Jewett faction is not In a
position to complain that the other candl-
dates have the support Of the gambling
element" for the very reason 1t IS depend
ing upon such open and privileged
gamblers as RUFF Page and Arch Young
to control the negro vote for it and Is
compelled to allow these men to run open
gambling houses in order to obtain their
support.
The campaign will enter it's last two
weeks with the Republican nomination
uncorraled, but with every prospect that
the discredited organization cannot make
good its boast to control the politics
of Indianapolis for the next seven years.

Of his position a member Of the State
industrial board he is, legally spea king,
n judicial officer and as such is not
eligible to a nomination for an execu
tive position More Is expected Of this
challenge next week.
Boyd Ralston has not started a Wig
orous campaign for the nomination. but
an organization is expected 10 line up
behind him at the last minute and his
prospects for nomination are excellent.
John Losh Is industriously at work
and feels that his chances Of being nom
mated are good.
Willet Judson is having hard work
making Democrats take his race Sc
rlously.
Among Democrats there is a feeling
that it makes no particular difference who
is nominated. anyhow, and It is often
conceded that whoever captures the Re
publican nomination viii be elected.
LIGHT VOTE
EXPECTED.
A very light Democratic vote is ex-
ppected in the primary. even members Of
the organization realizing that a great
part of the Democrats will enter the Re
publican primary long enough to register
a protest against the efforts of the Jew
EFT administration to elect a friendly sue
cessor.
Whether these Democrats will ever
return to the Democratic fold depends
largely on the Inducements held out by
/ the Democratic party.
/ Even those citizens who are most In
J tent on the nomination of Mr.. Howe
realize that he cannot be nominated ex
/ cept by the same methods that were used
/ in defrauding Shank in his race against
/ Mayor Jewett four years ago.
The success OF an effort to manipulate
the primaries this year is rather dubious
l for the reason that the manipulation
would involve such a large number Of
votes as to make it difficult and for the
! further reason that the public mind is
not inclined to stand for crooked work
this year.
! However. there are many evidences that
attempts will be made to crook the pre-
| cinct election boards in favor Of the can
didacy of Mr.. Howe.
! Thomas Meeker. Democratic city chair
man, has announced that he win select
/ Democratic election officials from a list
consisting of three men nominated for
each place by each precinct committee
man. This method, which is a departure
| from the usual practice of permitting ;~o

boards, is entirely satisfactory to the
/ News-J ewett Democrats who are max.

scenes of the most sensational trial
in Alabama's history.
Hamilton, a village Of only 300
people, was. suddenly deluged with
125 witnesses, scores of relatives, a
corps of lawyers, newspapermen and
spectators. Residents accommodate
