COUNCIL DEBATES
TRAFFIC PROBLEM
SIasheS $4,000 Item From
City Plan Funds.

Indianapolis has engineers and eye
witnesses enough to solve it's traffic
problem without expert consultation,
according to the belief of city coun-
cilmen, who whacked $1,000 from the
1924 budget asked by the city plan
commission for next year.
Take the street cars off Washing
ton st. in the mile square and you
won't have any traffic problem here, "
Councilman Wise suggested.
Councilmen from the south side OBJ
jected because street cars from that
part of the city did not reach Wash
ington ST., while north side lines did.
Cross-town lines were advocated by
Councilman Glauer. Councilman Ray
suggested that busses should be oper-
ated by the street car company for
crosstown service.
A 10-cent fare that is still in opera
tion to Broad Ripple, now a part Of the
city, was also discussed.

OPERATORS AND

P|NCHOT PROPOSAL
Opposition to Some Elements
of Pennsylvania Gov
ernor'S Plan Seen.

~ Upited Press
HARRISBURG, Pa, Aug 30.-An-
fhracite coal operators look with dis
fa--or upon certain phases Of the Pin
chot proposal for settlement of the
threatened coal strike
Some of the owners, il is learned.
on indisputable authority today, are
strongly opposed to complete recog-
milton Of the union, against which
they have fought for years.
The operators refuse TO give any
public expression of their sentiments
until they submit their answer TO
: Governor Pinchot tomorrow noon.
But it is known several of them be-
heve acceptance of the peace offer
made by the Governor would involve
an enormous concession on their part.
Both Sides Meet
Both sides are caucusing today on
the proposal-the miners here and the
operators on their way to PhiIadel-
phia.
An agreement was concluded be-
tween mine union leaders and the op-
orators representatives today placing
maintenance men on the eight-hour-
day basis, thus assuring protection
of the mines in the event the strike
takes place Sept. 1.
The operators left for Philadelphia
at a. m. They were to hold an
executive meeting in WARMERS office
there to go over the entire PinchoJ
settlement proposal.
The general scale committee OF the
miners is considering the four points
outlined by the Governor. and it was
indicated by some Of them that the
suggestions might be accepted.
Proposal Outlined
Pinchot's proposal, given out last
kight was:
1. A 10 per cent wage increase for
the men.
2. A half way check-off' permit
ting the union to collect dues from
the men at the mines on pay day. but
also providing that the operators shall
fully recognize the union.
9. Recognition Of the eight-hour
day.
The Governor also added another
point-that Of recognition of the right
OF collective bargaining. He suggested
that II the miners and operators sep
arately were not able to accept his
proposal, they should go into joint
session with an impartial. non-voting
chairman. who could advise them.
And IL they still could not reach agree.
ment, he suggested that the matter
be left to the miners and operators
