Should the contest between Jack

mo-. Most representative citizens of
Indianapolis think he is right on this
proposition. Here's what some Of them
say. What do you think?
DIR. Robert JudsOn Alley, president
Of Butler ColIege-The law Of the
State should be enforced. I haven't
looked into the situation.
Roltare EgglestOn, manager B. F.
Keith's theater-I saw Dempsey fight
Carpenter. I don't think Brennan has
chance. The money of the people
should not be taken for an exhibition.
Thi, will be an exhibition.
Herbert Wagner, doctor-I'm not a
fight fan but 1 believe the fight fan
should be given what he wants, like
we baseball fans have baseball on Sun
day don't want to have a prize fight
IL it's against the law but the fight
fan should get what he wants.

Mrs. Samuel r. Artman, club leader

unconstitutional because prize fights
violate all the laws Of humanity. They
are inhuman. I think the fight would
disgrace to Indiana.
Charles Olson, theater owner-It
couldn't be a fight Brennan isn't in
Dempseys class. It would have to
be a boxing match. Certainly it
should be held
Walter Blasengym, undertaker-We
might as well have the fight in In

proposals, including a compromise on
the seniority question. which are
understood TO have been drawn up at
the meeting Of railroad executives
and brotherhood chiefs were sub
rnitted to Bert NJ Jewell, representa-
tive Of the strikers here
The proposals will be put before a
full meeting Of the railroad executives

rejection will be laid before the joint

hood chiefs.
Under the plan the men would re-
turn to work under gentlemen's
agreement that the seniority question
would be handled "in a manner far
to the strikers" The strikers would
return at the reduced pay ordered by
the United States Railroad Labor
Board. which precipitated the strike.
The board. however. would be ap-
pealed to and the matter of wage ad-
justment would be reOpened.
Thus. neither side will win a clean
cut victory, but the strike will in all

sidered honorable" to both sides.
