President Harding I'd put the rail-
readers back with full seniority rights.
If they don't, the engineers and con-

tive for all labor trouble.
j. Z. Hauk, Chicken Raiser, North

Indianapolis Folk Ad00Gate Some Plan to Control or

Some form Of Government control
for the settlement or prevention of
strikes was advocated by number Of
citizens interviewed at random by the
Indianapolis Times today. There ap-
peared to be a slightly stronger feel
ing for the miners than for The rail
road strikers.
The opinions follow:
n. Courtney, Insurance, 1926 s. Se,-
ate Ave.-I think the miners ought to
have what they want because of the
work they do. My opinions on the rail
strike are not definite.
Fred Delbridge, Refrigeration Ma
chinist, 1S S. Belmont Ave.-Every
man is entitled to a living wage. [
think that's what the strikers want.
My sympathy is with them.
5. C. Bitter, Office Manager, 27 S.

strikes. A year of Government con-
troll with price fixing would bring both
sides to realization of public rights.

Washington St.-The shopmen should
get seniority rights, every man his
old job at the old pay. The same thing
applies to the coal strikers.
Arthur Case, Bookbinder, S62 N.
New Jersey St.-Strikes should be
ended, but every man should have
a living wage. Unions have failed
and a Government board should set
tie such things. Seniority rights
should be given back.
Ernest NJ. Banks, Insurance Sales
