G.. 0. P. MOVES
FOR PATRONAGE
FACE BARRIERS
Hope for District Grouping
Is Shattered by 1929
Census Law.
BY BEN STERN

Prominent Republican leaders who
have been exerting pressure on Gov
ernor Harry G. Leslie to call a
special session Of the legislature,
ostensibly for the purpose of passing
school relief legislation, but which
only would serve as a cloak Tor
examining through a reapportlon-
ment measure favorable to the G.
o. P, are not fully cognizant Of the
legal barrier to such a move.
BY utilization of the heavy Re
publican majorities in each house,
the leaders planned so to reappor-
ton the state. that predominantly
Democratic counties could be grouped
together into one or two districts.
Could Get Majority
The Republicans, however, could
spread their strong counties so that
the majority of districts would be
theirs normally.
Prospects of a Democratic lower
house in 1881 appears as an OBJ
stacle to this plan. Some Repub-
licans have believed that by call
ing a special session for school re-
lief. reapportionment then could be
considered and the Democratic peril
Offset.
The hope that such action could
be taken in a special session Is shat
tered in the face of the 1929 census
law, which provides that the reap
portionment must be made at the
completion of the 1880 census and
following the presentation OF the
population figures to congress by the
President.
Democrats Hold Power
This will give a probable Demo-
cratic house a part in control of the
situation.
Faced with the possible loss of
some districts. Republican leaders
are rebuilding their efforts to have
a majority of Republican repre-
sentativeS elected.
On the basis of one congressman
for each 100000 population. Indi-
ana will have but eleven representa-
tives in congress when the reap
portionment is completed.
Under the new districting, Lake
county would be eligible to have its
OWL congressman, and leaders there,
who feel they owe much to the vet
eran Will R. Wood Of Lafayette, are
urging that he establish his legal
residence in Hammond, so that his
post would not be endangered.
Under reapportionment, n or
two Marion county townships may
be added to another county, because
the population here is more than
100000.

peal TO Senator Arthur R. Robinson,

Therefore, in addition TO control
ing the chairman Of the Marion
count district, he will be able to
exert pressure in another district.
In the present setup of that state
committee, Robinson has but little

men have come around on pay day
and told the men that the pay was
small because there were too many
men in the gang. So in order to
make it possible for the men to earn
some bonus he would lay some of
of them off. The result would be
that the remainder would have to
work like hell turning out as much
work as before the lay-off, while the
pay would be even smaller.
Discrimination Against Foreign
Born Workers.
The bosses have been telling the
men that all those without citizen
ship papers would be laid off. And
that was being done in order to give
work to citizens. Many workers
have already been fired. However,
this does not apply to foremen. Evil

In the cowl department several
workers who had gone 20 steps to

out by the foreman and told that in
future they must wait until the noon
hour to get drink of water. When
the men told them that they were
hot and thirsty and had to have a

they didn't like it they could get

AVELLA, Pain Avella the coal
mines work one to two days a week,
sometimes three days. The Cider
Grove (Studal Mine of the Carnegie
Coal Company last week worked only
five hours. And when we do work
we do not make anything. TIE
weight Of the cars, which was before
SIS to So, has now been fixed at 81
to 45. 1t is the same cars and the
same coal, only the weight Of the
cars suddenly changed, No more dead
work is allowed fer, or very little.
I recently cleaned cuts Of coal
and slate (rock), 10 yards of neck
room and had A feet of slate en- top
of the COAX I worked on that place
II days, 6 days on coal and days
ON slate and got S24 for the coal and
$3.50 for the slate. The days
worked on the slate I got 96c per
day and the expenses on top, and ]
worked like mule. There is slate
in this mine in practically every
room or entry, and the leaders have
to clean il up Cor almost nothing.
The average wage Of the coal load
ers is So to 81 a day when the mine
works. 1t our local union No. I56
of the National Miners Union, the
brothers who i've in company houses
report that some of the families run
all over the camp hunting for sone-
thing to eat. One woman came to
my house just at supper time and
asked for something to eat for her
self and her family. She said I'VE
never had anything to cat since the
day before, and / can't get anything
from the company store, because the
mine does not work this week. The
company does not care if you and
your family starve."
At the Duquesne Coal Company's
Aurora mine the starvation is Just
the same as at the Studa Carnegie
Coal Company mine. Before q man
can get something to eat in the CON-
pany store. he has got to go into the
mine and load two or three cars of
coal and then come out ard get
something to eat. Last week "Mus-
solini" the superintendent, put out
a new rule: Those who leave the
company house will get no work. Non
is there any work for single men
whether they live in the company
house or not. There is no work for
them. They had already been work
ing two or three days a week only.
At the Pittsburgh Mine No. 8 they
pay no more yards in the entry and
no more for slate. They were get
ting d. cents per car about thre,
months ago, but now they get 10th,
! ing.
The Avella Coal Company peno
wa Mine was working every day un
til last week. / do not know if they
are working at all now, or only {
few days a week.
We are building many local unions
