The cultural heights that this
worthy movement will carry the
drama Of Indiana to is already recog-
nized not alone locally, but in
quiries from the Pacific Coast have
already been received, congratula-
ting The Times and the Guild on
their courage to pioneer the theater

Mr.. Merling has revised and
adapted the three playlets for radio
production In casting them he
was compelled to test the voices for
every Characterization which EN-
tailed vast amount of work. The
voice will have to paint not only the
dialogue, story, emotion and mean
ing, but will have to create in the
mind OF the listener the image of
the character itself.
He has dispensed with the halt
ing explanations which mar so many
radio drama productions and from
the time the first character speaks
until the tag line is spoken to in
terruption will occur to stay the
sequence of the action and dialogue.
The presentation of these three
one-act playlets, every one written
by an indianapolis author, over the
air marks new departure and eff
fects a long step forward in the
recognition Of Indiana as a produc-
ton center upon whom the eyes of
the entire Nation will be focused.
The embryonic Hoosier dramatist
will receive the unprecedented OPP
portunity of an audience that num-
bers into the thousands and will be
assured that among that vast multi
tude Of auditors Will be several New
York producers.

as to who killed Ortiz or how he was
killed. The sheriff appealed to the
United States cavalry to join his party
and they came upon Captain Rangel
and six other compatriots, the COM

they would be better able to reach
Mexico in that way. When Captain
Rangel saw the American flag, he and
his men Immediately surrendered,
tho some escaped and were killed.
Those captured were tried and con-
victed in the May term of the district

they are now serving their sentences,

Rail CONDUCTORS
AND TRAINMEN
DEMAND RAISE
Union in Demand for
1920 Scale
Especial to The oally wOrkerl

NEW YORK, Jan. 20 - Conductors
and trainmen on all roads in the
country will file demands for an in
crease in wages on Feb. 1, according
to instructions sent out today by the
union officials. The demand will be for
the restoration Of the wage scale fixed
by the rail labor board in 1920. An
answer to the demand is asked by
March 2.
Proposed Scale.
The new wages would mean an in
crease Of from 81 to $3.50 a day over
the prevailing scale for conductors,
baggagemen, fiagmen, and brakemen.
Conductors receiving in the neighbor-
hood of $3.50 per day and $500 per
month would obtain s775 per day and
S23250 per month. Assistant conduct
Ors and ticket collectors would have
increases from $5.4O or $50 per day
TO 6.S4 and from $3.50 per month to
$2O5.
Corresponding increases will be
asked for yard service employees,
which include car retarder operators,
foremen, helpers, and switch tenders.
In many cases the demands equal an
exact advance Of 81 per day.
s1,1so,ooo,ooo Profto In 1925.
The demands come on the eve OF
the railroad reporting the largest pro-
fits in their history. The net income
OF 1925 will be s1,130,OOO,OOO. II is
estimated. The railroad companies
will reject the demands in spite Of the
huge profits piled up during the year
by the railroad workers. What action
the union will take In event OF a re.
lection OF their demands is not stated.

leans with arms, ammunition and

to Mexico and joining the revolution
lists and they met at Garlic Springs,
Tex, and started on their journey for
Mexico. The sheriff of Dimmit coun.
ty, having been informed of the ex.
petition, started in pursuit, dividing
his forces. A deputy sheriff by the
name Of Buck and a Mexican SPY by
the name of Ortiz, acting as deputy,
came upon Captain Rangel and his
company and were taken prisoners by
Captain Rangel. His reason for taking
them prisoners was to prevent them
from giving information as to the
whereabouts of the expedition and to
be able to continue on their march
to Mexico.
Expedition Overtaken.
Some of Captain Rangers men
stated Ortiz had spied upon them,
killed one of their friends, and had
told the sheriff Of their whereabouts,
and the purpose of the expedition, and
was the cause of their being pursued
by the sheriff and his posse. The state
in its case claimed that Captain
Rangel and three members of his COM
pany remained behind and ordered
the balance to proceed on their
journey and then shortly caught up
with the company and proceeded on
their journey. The expedition was
overtaken by the sheriff and here was
a parley had, and it was agreed by
the sheriff that If they would deliver
Deputies Buck and Ortiz, that they
would not be pursued and would be
allowed to go on to Mexico. The state
claimed they found Ortiz, the Mexican
spy, tied to tree with four wounds
