BICKNELL COAL
MINERS THANK
CITY FOR HELP
Christmas Brought to 5000
Children, Committee
Finds in Survey.

Success of the Bicknell Christmas
cheer fund was emphasized today
upon the return to this city of a
committee from a survey of condi-
tons alleviated by the Christmas
drive for Bicknell's children.
The committee composed of: John
John A. Brown, secretary of the
state board of charities; Harry B.
Dynes, commissioner of Cancellation
of the department of labor, and w.
A. Hacker, member of the Indian
apolis fund committee, found that
5000 children had been given a
Christmas by donors to the fund.
Surplus to Buy Milk
Funds left from the $1,000 con-
tributed to Bicknell's Christmas will
be used to provide milk for under
nourished children in Bicknell
schools. clothe INDECENT youngsters
and give medicine to the sick, the
committee said.
The residue of the money fund
will be administered by commit
tee of Bicknell citizens headed by
Mayor o. A. Buck.
1.-THE money will be spent judi
ciously 1t will be used only to help
children in actual want and not
for the purpose of aiding in the in
dustrial situation created by the
miners refusal to accept wage
terms proffered them," Hacker said.
Boosters Poor Fund
'Forty-nine per cent of the taxes
of Knox county were collected in
1928. With tax rate of $5.43 this
low collection meant that the coun-
tvs fund for the poor was depleted
before the year ended. The fund
provided by generous Indianans
will aid the county's poor fund in
its work of giving proper nourish-
ment to Bicknells children" he
said.
The survey showed that each of
the 5000 children, in and near Bick-
nell, received 5 apples, 2 oranges,
4 bananas, three -fourths of pound
of candy, 5 ounces of nuts, one s.
cent bar of candy, stockings, and
toys in their Christmas basket,
"One minister told us that it was
as nice a Christmas as some min
ers had in the days when they were
working" Mr.. Hacker said.
nF:..o.- co~d Tho,,Ixe
During the committees stay in
Bicknell the Knox county miners
adopted the following resolution
thanking those who gave to the
Bicknell Christmas cheer fund:
To Our Esteemed FriendS-We,
the miners in Bicknell and vicinity,
desre to express our heartfelt ap-
probation to those who made it
possible, and to those who gave so
generously of food, clothing and
toys, that we received part of,
which cast ray of light and sun
shine into many of our homes on
this 1928th birthday of our Savior,
sus Christ, and may God bless
you, for we can not find words by
tongue or pen that would express
our sincere appreciation, and we
pray the road will be made smooth
for you and yours.
Wishing you successful, pros
porous and happy new year, for
blessed are the merciful.

HOOVER STAND
TANCLES FARM
RELIEF ACTION
President Elect Expects to
Keep Hands Off Congress
at This Session.
BY PAUL r. MALLON,


WASHINGTON, Jan. IA more
complicated situation has grown up
around the farm relief problem in
congress since authentic word was
received that President-E Elect Hoo
yer intends to keep hands off the
matter of whether the relief bill
should be passed at This session.
Hoover indicated to one congress
sional authority, the United Press
is reliably informed, that he would
abide by whatever President Cool
idge wants done. Hoover took the
position that he had no right to
tell Mr.. Coolidge'S congress what
to do, either openly or privately.
The senate leaders seeking to
force the revised McNary- Haugen
bill through at the earliest possible
moment and to avoid an extra Ses-
sion of congress, had hoped Hoo
yer would come out and say ne
wanted farm bill now. To succeed
in their enterprise they must over
come much congressional opposition
and the only way they can see in
which to overthrow this opposition
is to get a direct statement.
Republican farm bloc members,
most of whom supported Hoover in
the campaign, are for an extra Ses-
sion. In the absence of the public
statement from Hoover, they are re-
lying upon his campaign statement
that he would call a special session
of his congress to enact farm relief
before the next harvest, in case no
suitable bill is enacted at the pres
ent session.

Fifteen Hoosier presidential cleo
tors will assemble in the Indiana
house of representatives at 10 a.

declare that the Hoosier common
wealth voted for Herbert Hoover for
president at the election last fall.
This session of the electoral COL

receive $40 a day, which is double
the amount paid their predecessors.
Under the constitution of the state
the electors receive the same pay
as legislators. At the 1927 session
the legislators voted to double their
own salaries and the electors au-
tomatically benefited. Theyalso re-

WOODEN GOODS MAN
ASKS HIGHER DUTY

Washington, Feb. notwithstanding
conditions in the wool manufacturing
industry are similar to those In the
cotton textile business, Nathaniel
Stevens. vice president Of the National
Association of Wool Manufacturers,
today advocated additional tariff pro-
lection for high-gradc WOODEN yarns
and fabrics.
Mr.. Stevens told the house ways and
means committee that, based on the
present raw wool duty. low-grade
WOODEN manufactured products have
sufficient protection. but that some
of the finer yarns and fabrics needed
slightly higher duties because of the
relatively large labor costs. A con-
siderable percentage Of the looms Of
the industry. he said, have suffered
from importations of mixed goods.
The only rate the witness suggested
was an increase of 10 per cent In the
differential between WOODEN fabrics
and finished garments. Stevens said
that since the Payne Aldrich law the
hourly wage in the industry had ad-
vanced more than 200 per cent and
working hours had decreased approxi-
mately 20 per cent.
