MINE PAY PACT
AWAITS BALLOT
Referendum Vote to Seal
Agreement; Work Soon.
BIZ Times Special

BY Times Special
TERRE' HAUTE, Ind, Oct. 49,
Members of the United Mine Work
ers of America in Indiana today
have the opportunity of bringing to
an end the seventeen months idle
ness in the states mines. A new
wag scale agreement was arrived at
by representatives of the union and
mine owners here Thursday night,
and now awaits only the approval of
the miners in referendum vote to
become effective.
Union officials and mine owners
believe that ratification of the
agreement is certain, and today both
groups began preparations for an
early resumption of operations.
The agreement, which would eX-
pire April l, 1880, provides for most
of the miners a wage of $6.10 q
day and for men employed on piece
work basis, 81 cent ton. In addi-
ton, men who operate mechanical
loading devices would receive SO a
day, and cutting machine operators,
formerly paid on a piece-work basis
would receive $500 day and pick
miners, $40.
For more than four weeks repre-
sentatives of the miners and opera
tors had been negotiating in an
effort to establish wage scale to
supplant the Jacksonville agreement,
which expired April 1, 1927. Since
that date, mines in Indiana, except
for those that reached individual
agreements with their workers, had
been idle.
Lack of work caused privation In
many towns of the Indiana coal
belt. Local unions operated COM
missaries, dispensing money, food
and clothing. Children of the idle
miners, at opening of school this
term, were without books and in
some instances the public was asked
to provide books.

There were eight other women be-

young; the others were fat and not

They looked anxious; it was OBJ

Lila thought it a lark. The war

circuit court threatens to destroy
the report of a grand jury he called
into special session a week ago to
probe charges that liquor and
gambling are rampant here.

COAL BUYERS
OF CITY WILL
BEPROTECTED
Annual Campaign Against
Short Weight Started
by Inspectors.
GAS ALSO GETS x-RAY
Filling Stations to Install
New Pumps to Meet
Regulations.

Robert Hathaway, chief city in
Spector of weights and measures,
and a corps of four inspectors to-
day started drive to see that In
dianapolis householders get the full
amounts of coal they pay for this
winter.
A campaign to check weights of
loads of fuel being sold by Indian
apoliS dealers Is started annually
by Hathaway's department as win
ter approaches.
A novel method of checking is
used. The inspectors cruise about
the streets until they see a coal
wagon delivering a load
The inspector then commanders
the wagon and takes 1t to the near
est certified scales and weighs it.
Then he goes with the driver until
the coal Is unloaded and weighs
the empty wagon. The difference
between the two weights gives him
the net weight of coal aboard.
Few Are at Fault
Only occasionally are Indianapolis
dealers caught attempting to slip
over a Short-weight load, according
to Hathaway.
If the load is less than one hun
dred pounds underweight the coal
dealer Is forced to make up the
shortage and his scales are checked.
Usually the scales are at fault.
II the shortage is 100 pounds or
over the matter is regarded as more
suspicious and the dealer Is liable
to prosecution.
Hathaway recently also has been
in conference with representatives
of companies operating gasoline
filling stations here, arranging for
enforcement of new gas pump Speci-
ficationS, which will protect motor
lists from receiving less than the
amount Of gas they pay for.
New Gas Rules Issued
New government specifications for
gasoline pumps recently have been
issued. Under the new regulations,
pumps must have at least three in
dicatotrs showing the amount of
gasoline being pumped into the auto
tanks, so motorists will view an in
dicator from any angle.
A visa-gauge, so that gasoline
purchasers may see the gasoline
flowing from the pump bowl into
the hose, also is required.
Local filling station proprietors
who did not have pumps meeting the
specifications are installing them
and the new regulations will be en-
forced Jan. 1, Hathaway said.

Too Birds
Just One Pair of Them
on Mixed Collection of
Ballot Decorations.

THE long-famous Republican
1eagle and the browning Demo-
cratic rooster are the only birds
that will appear on the official
ballot, proofs of which we're re-
ceived today by Otto Lee, Sec
rotary of the state printing board.
There are six other columns on
the ticket and each has an en-
blem not so well known as the two
birds.
For instance, the Prohibition
ticket has a sun rising over a
whole ocean of water, indicative
of the prohibitioniSt's idea of a
wet world. One critic of the arts
suggested that the sun might be
mistaken for moonshine.
The Socialist ticket shows the
hands of good-fellowship claSped
across the face of the world. The
Socialist Labor ticket is an arm
and hammer, after the manner
of a famous brand of baking soda.
The Workers Party ticket is a
scythe and hammer, the trade
mark of Communism. A baby
girl, with outstretched arms, ap-
pears on the National party

the bottom and a hand out
stretched with a plumb-bob. The
