CITY MANAGER
LEAGUE FIGHTS
POISON SQUAD
Voters viii Be Informed of
Purposes of New Plan;
Propaganda Spread.
SALARY CUTS HINTED
Politicians Seek to Rouse
Alarm of Policemen
and Firemen.

Steps properly to inform voters
OF the intents and purposes of the
city manager plan OF governments,
which becomes effective here Jan.
l, were considered today by the In
dianapoliS City Manager league to
offset propaganda spread by party
politicians.
Reports of the propaganda, which
has been traced to politicians. who
endeayor to "mislead" citizens in
an effort to defeat the manager
league slate for commissioners in
the Nov. 5 election, already have
been received at league headquar-
tiers.
Reports that salary of police and
firemen will be reduced when the
new form becomes effective are be-
ing circulated among police and
flremen, John r. WEIGH told the
executive committee Wednesday at
the Board of Trade.
Salaries Are Higher
"As a matter of fact, the salaries
OF police and f1remen in manager
controlled cities are higher than in
Indianapolis" suggested John L.
Niblack, mems organizer.
This is not like a political cleo
ton, where all the present city en-
ployes are thrown out and friends
OF the persons elected put in jobs.
AL city employees will stand on their
merit, . pointed out Charles F.. Cot
fin, leader of the movement.
Coffin was authorized to name a
committee to draft a campaign
document which will be published
about Sept. /, when the ticket is
selected. Citizens were asked not
to sign petitions of candidates for
commissioner before the manager
league ticket is chosen.
Many candidates have represented
themselves as friends Of the move
ment and otained signatures of citi-
zens who believed they were help
ing the league
Negroes Are Alarmed
Already politicians have circulated
rumorS in the Negro belts that all
colored employees will lose their JOBS
under the new regime, and Negro
police and firemen will be dis
charged.
Well let the public know the
truth about these things when the
campaign starts commented Will
liam H. Insley, executive chairman.
During Insley's absence from the
city on vacation, Coffin will serve
as temporary chairman.
Results of organization work in
the 257 precincts were reported to
the executive committee by Claude
H. Anderson, campaign chairman.
The league has about 500 volunteer
workers.
Women Are Orga nized.
Mrs. Elsa Huebner Olson, wonen's
stated that SO per cent of
the wards and 81 per cent Of the
precincts have been organized ef-
fectively.

that steps are being
taken to combat the methods of the
politicians in the Eighth ward,

1--WE will have honest citizens on
the boards and count the votes as
cast something unprecedented in
The Eighth ward" Niblack told the
committee.

N YEW YORK, April 8.-The Ma
tons boxing calendar for this
VI week finds three champions
J. willing enough to fight, but, at
the same time, careful enough
to leave their titles in cold storage

dell the Rockford, ILL.,, sheik who rules
the lightweights, and Icy Schwartz OF
New York. recognized by his home State
Boxing Commission as flyweight title
holder. all are down for engagements
OF q more or less dangerous character.
Mandell should have little trouble
with Benny Duke of Grand Rapids,
when they meet in Grand Rapids on
Friday night, nor should Schwartz be
unduly extended by Boy VALLEY OF
Manila at San Francisco the same
night. Both bouts will be at catch
weights.
on the other hand, Dundee possibly
will be in for an unpleasant evening at
Boston on Friday when he meets Al
Mello Of Lowell, Mass, in return
match. Mello gave the welterweignt
champion something Of trouncing IN
a recent match at Boston. AS usual,
Dundee has seen to it that his title Is
not at stake.
Kid Chocolate VS.. Graham.
In the New York sector the 15-round
battle between Kid Chocolate and Bushy
Graham, opening Jess McMahon's New
York Coliseum, is the high spot OF the
week. This show also is set for Friday
night.
Mcmahon, former matchmaker at
Madison Square Garden, had hoped to
get the New York Boxing Commission
to recognize the Graham Chocolate fuss
as a bantamweight championship al
fair. The boxing fathers turned thumbs
down on the proposal. Graham, who
