Augmented by additional heavy rains,
the food waters continue to rise today.
Officials pronounced the situation more
grave than when the Trinity River first
started its rampage.
AS the search for bodies continued, a
grand jury investigation was demanded
on charges by John J. Mccain, chairman
OF the levee boards, that the dikes had
been dynamited Monday night, causing
the breaks through which the food
reached many sections of the city.
With the river still rising, threatening

call for several hundred more volunteer
workers to perform rescue work. His
appeal was quickly answered.

SHADOW OF

Mayors Say So in
State Politics Grows
in Importance.
FOES TRY TO WIN
Marion County, With
$4,000 Votes, Means
Something.

For politicians the fight TO give Mayor
Shank and his lieutenants a say so" in
Indiana Republican politics today almost
overshadows the question of whether
Albert ]. Beveridge or Harry S. New will
get the most votes in Marion County In
the primary election next Tuesday. OPP
ponents Of the Shan. faction hope to
elm nate the mayor even from having a
hand in county control
By his tremendous victory in the mu-
nicipaI elections of 1921 Shank gained a
hold upon the county Republican organ
ization. If his faction in the primary
can elect enough precinct committeeman
to insure the election Of Shank county
and Seventh district chairmen and name
the key candidates for nomination on the
county Republican ticket it is backing,
the mayor and mis- advisers will hold &
dominating position in State politics. The
20.o0c Republican votes in Marion County
are not to be scOffed at in any State cleo
ton, politicians agree.
Two sets of Republican politicians are
striving to keep Mayor Shank frem
clinching his hold on the county or
ganization By defeating all candidates
on the Shank primary slate.

CROWDS COMBINED.
Jewett-Lencke factions, which have
combined on strategical points The
Coffin Dodson faction vas practically
eliminated By the Jewett -Lemcke crowd
when George Y. Coffin. now county clerk
resigned as chief q police in the Jewett
city administration. Then the Shank
forces all but anninilated the splendid
Jewett- Lemcke mac Zine in the primary
Of 1921. Thus the two opponents OF the
mayors machine are left fighting hard
TO come back.
Together the two factions are giving
he mayor and William H Armitage, his
deld marshall a merry battle. The i'm
mediate issue upon which the war wages
Is whether William II. Freeman shall be
county chairman and William z. Reilly

SAYS CHAOSIS
CONDITION IN
COALINDUSTRY
Association President Calls
Situation Worst in
History.

Declaring the coal industry as a whole
is today in the most chaotic condition It
has ever been since the development in
this country OF this basic industry" +.
E. Heller Of the Indiana Retail Coal Mer
chants Association. discussed the pres
ent depression and the strike in his open
ing address at the sixth annual conven-
tion of the association at the SEVERN
Hotel
How to remedy this condition is CIV
Ing great concern TO our Government and
the public as well as every one "a the
coal trade" he said. The main trouble
has been oyerproduction caused by too
many mines, too many miners and too
many jobbers, all Of which has helped
to produce too many retailers.
Open and unrestricted competition in
any commodity when the supply exceeds
to any great extent the demand for such
article means decline In price at base OF
supply below cost of production means
decline In selling margins below cost OF
doing business. In other words 1t brings
on a competitive business war. That is
the condition Of the coal Industry to-
day.
BUSINESS REVIVAL
Is ONLY HOPE.
This condition will right itself only
when a business revival or decreased
production creates q more nearly equal
balance Of supply ana demand
The miners are trying TO solve this
problem for themselves by demanding the
same pay for two thirds or one half time
as they should have for fun time, but We
al retailers cannot ask for Increased mar
gins simply because we have 40 to 80 per
cent too many retailers,
e. a.
miners trike. The supply and the price
of coal all depend on how long the strike
lasts and how much reduction is made in
the miners wages
SETTLE STRIKE NOW
TO AVOID FAMINE
should the strike be settled In the
next four weeks there will still be plenty
OF time for the mines to produce. and the
railroads to deliver, all the coal needed
for next winters consumption. But II
IL should last much greater length of
time then, when the mines do start work
ing, there VIII be a rush fo~ coal and
higher prices.
