ELECTION FOR
MANAGER PLAN
IS considered
Advocates of New Form of
City Government Lay
Plans at Meeting.

Advocates OF the city manager
form of government in Indianapolis
rallied their forces today at an
executive committee luncheon at the
Chamber of Commerce. called to de-
eide whether an election on the new
form will be sought this spring.
Several leaders favor going ahead
with plans for the election this
spring. Already some $4,000 have
signed petitions calling for an cleo
ton on the manager plan.
1t was considered likely that a
temporary chairman would be
named to conduct the drive until
the return of Chairman Charles +.
Coffin. who is in Florida.
The mayor protection" law
passed by the Legislature to save
the jobs Of Mayor Duvall of Indi-
annapolis and Mayor Herbert Males
Of Evansville, both threatened with
city manager movements, was 10 lie
discussed. 1t was the opinlon of
several executive committee men,
bers that the new law providing that
the mayor serve out his term al
though the city manager plan Is
adopted would not slow the move
ment.
Predicts Election
at think there is no doubt we will
go ahead with the election this
spring." said Edward o. Snethen,
secretary, who called the meeting.
The city manager committee Of
1000 was formed here several
months ago by a group of prom
inent business, professional and civic
leaders who desired to drive the
political boss system" from local
city government. The committee
has worked quietly for some time
looking toward an election this
spring. The $4,000 names on the
petition are sufficient for calling an
election.

MINE WAGE GROUP
UNABLE TO AGREE
Subcommittee to Report
Deadlock Before Con-
ference Tomorrow.

MIAMI, Fla, February 21.-The
subcommittee of the joint wage con-
ference after a two-hour session here
today suddenly adjourned without
reaching an agreement on a new
wage scale for the central competitive
field.
Representatives of the miners and
operators went into session last Mon
day and appointed the subcommittee
to confer on a new wage agreement
for the bltuminous field which in.
cludes Ohio, Illinois, Indiana and
Western Pennsylvania. The agree
ment reached at Jacksonville three
years ago expires March 81.
Rice Miller, chairman of the joint
conference announced that the sub
committee would report a failure to
reach an agreement before the joint
conference at 10 O'Clock tomorrow
morning.
Conferees announced that the sub
committee was hopelessly deadlocked
on the conflicting proposals presented
by the miners and operators. Opera
tors took the position that the failure
of the body to reach a common ground
meant the adjournment of the joint
wage CODleIEIICc IOlnOTfOH.
President John l.. Lewis of the
United Mine Workers of America de-
clined to comment: he said no state
ment would be issued pending the re-
port of the subcommittee to the main
body tomorrow morning.
Asked Two-year Contract.
The negotia tions We're deadlocked
over the Lewis and Haskins proposals
for new wage contract to replace
the Jacksonville agreement of 1924.
The Lewis proposal asked the con-
ference to recognize the "inadequacy
of wage reduction" to solve the prob
lem confronting the industry and also
requested a two-year contract. The
Joint conference would remain in ex-
istence during the life of the agree.
ment to make adjustments in the in
dustry and settle disputes.
Outcome in Doubt.
The Haskins proposal sought a
continuous wage agreement on com
petitive basis with the non-union
fields Of Kentucky and West Virginia.
II would have set up a commission of
miners, operators and mediators to
fix wages, handle all problems and
mediate differences.
Whether the conference would in
struct the subcommittee to resume its
labors' over the two proposals or last
minute concessions would he made by
either side tomorrow, was matter of
speculation among the conferees,
though 1t was generally agreed that
only a compromise or concession after
the committee report is received will
save the present wage negotiations
from failure.
There were no indications that
either side would recede its position.
