headquarters with the owners.

1t under existing law" said Shank.
If We cannot I would like to see a
law Of the kind passed by the next
Legislature
No Second Chance
I'D also like to see another law
licensing drivers themselves. The
State could issue each driver a tag
and when he was caught speeding the
police could take that away, too Then
the driver would have an awful time
getting legal permission TO drive
again.
II wouldn't even give them a sec
ond chance. What's the use of this
second offense stuff? Speeders don't
deserve another chance. Just take
their licenses away and make 'em stay
away from the wheel. Then if we
caught them driving without licenses
we could get them on a felony charge,
maybe"
Mayor Shank ordered the police to
haul traffic ordinance violators to po-
lice headquarters in the patrol wagon
if they resist arrest. Policemen were
sent out to arrest persons on whose

who failed to appear at headquarters.
In cases where persons showed a
willingness to appear, the mayor said
the patrol wagon should not be used.

Observers Feared Men Would
Walk Out Saturday
Night.
NINE HUNDRED IDLE TODAY
Operators Refuse to Meet De-
mands of Union-'Check-off'
Causes Trouble.
By United Press

trict II, United Mine Workers,
today set Dec. 16 as the date for
a general walkout of union min
ers of Indiana in all mines where
operators refuse to check off a
special levy of dues for the
months of November and De-
cember.
A strike of $4,000 union coal miners
in Indiana at midnight Saturday
seemed more certain today, accord
ing to observers
Miners are prepared to leave the
mines at the close of the work day
Saturday, according to word re-
ceived from the various coal mining
centers of the State. Approximately
500 miners have already laid down
their tools protesting against the re-
fusal Of the operators TO allow a
'check-off'' Of a 81 strike benefit as
sessment. Others are expected to
quit work later in the day.
Officials Firm
Mines idle today where the men
were on strike included the Jackson
Hill No. Of the Sullivan field, the
Glen mine near Brazil and the Willow
Greek near Cloverland.
Word from Terre Haute was TO the
effect that the Indiana Bituminous
Coal Operators Association was still
standing its ground in refusing the
demands OF the Indiana mine officials
to grant the "check-off."
A general strike order was expected
To be issued by President John Hessler
ot District II, United Mine Workers
upon his return to Terre Haute from
Chicago.
Expect To Quit
Union miners, It is said. are under
the impression that they are to walk
out at the close OF the work day Sat
urday if their respective coal company
refuses them the "check-off. " \They
take this to be their strike call.
Indiana, with its 1000 major mines,
is capable Of producing 24.OOO.oOO tons
of coal a year. Since the miners re-
turned to work last September fol-
lowing a nationwide strike. the mines
have been worked on an average Of
three days a week.
Expect Early Adjustment
At Bicknell, it was stated the min
ers were planning to quit work Sat
urday when they received their semi
monthly pay. They believe, however
according to a number of miners
talked TO, that any strike will be OF
short duration because Of the ap-
proach Of Christmas and the general
coal shortage throughout the country
Many of Vincennes miners were
idle today because Of a coal car short
age. They have intimated that they
will not return to work Saturday un
less the "check-off" is granted them
