LESLIE PROBING
Mine WARFAR
Secret Agent Investigating
Sullivan Reports.

Governor Harry C. Leslie's office
today sent an undercover man into
Sullivan county to investigate the
alleged mine warfare there and re-
port back to the chief executive.
This action was decided upon fol-
lowing a conference Tuesday after
noon between L. o. Chasey, Secre-
tary to Leslie, and a delegation of
nonunion miners from Sullivan
county. They were. accompanied to-
the statehouse by Roy Price, presi-
dent of the Hoosier Coal Sales Com
pany here, agen for the nonunion
mined coal.
The miners told Chasey they were
being coerced into quitting work by
union miners who surrounded the
shafts in mobS. They also alleged
threats had been made against them.
Deputy Sheriff H. H. Harvey of
Sullivan county told The Times
Monday that danger of mob violence
at the mines was "all bunk" and
that members Of the United Mine
Workers of America merely were
engaged in peaceful picketing."
Chasey said today that the mill
tia could not be called out unless
there was some overt act and he
was not expecting any to occur.

cause you're a woman you can get

Miller was becoming angry, but
still all he got from Mrs. Nc
Pherson was silence and Stares.
Maybe you think you've got
lots of influence, eh? Do you
know what the penalty is for this
offense?"
The policeman was becoming
very angry.
"All right, then" said he; eff
you won't talk to me, maybe
you'd rather tell it to judge,

To his amazement, Mrs. Nc
Pherson answered:

$4,000 WIPED
OUT BY REDS
IN MASSACRE
Chinese Raiders Reported
to Have Stacked Bodies
in Huge Piles.
ROWING H0RDES BANDED
Communist Forces Launch
Bitter Attack in
KianzSi Province.

BIZ United Press
SHANGHAI, Oct. 22.-Reports re-
ceived from apparently reliable
sources here today estimated $4,000
persons were massacred when the
fourth and fifth Red armies cap
tured Kiang, Kiangsi province, on
Oct. s.
The reports said the -Kiang
river was red with the blood of
the victims. Corpses, it was said,
were stacked in huge piles.
The attack occurred in the
province where bandits and COM
munists recently have been making
exorbitant demands for the release
of foreigners captured by them.
The latest demand, and the high
est received so far, is for $10,O0000O.
Missionary officers We're advised to-
day that such sum would be neces-
sary for the release of six nuns and
four priests kidnapped in the prov
inces of Kiangsi and Kianfu.
American Held for 100000
An American, Bert Nelson of
Minneapolis, is another being held
for a ransom-$3O0OO0 in this case.
A rescue expedition of Nationalist
troops was reported nearing head
quarters of the Communist bandits
holding Nelson today. He is a mem
Der of the United Lutheran mis-
sion.
Rowing armies of Chinese Com
munists and bandits have become,
in recent weeks, major problem
threatening to overshadow the civil
warfare from which the country has
suffered for many years.
They have changed from loose
linked hordes of raiding parties to
an apparently organized force num-
bering at least 10000 men.
Red Propaganda Is Found
The main force of the army ap-
pears to have been employed in the
recent capture and looting of
Changsha, PROVINCIAL capital of
human province.
General Peng Teh-Hui is leader
of the so-called Fifth Red army
which figured in that affair. Joined
with his name is that of Huang
Kung-Lueh. Peng and Huang have
signed Communistic propaganda
handbills found at Yochow and
elsewhere.
The army is we'll organized and
equipped with up-to-date arms.
That actual Communism and not
mere banditry is part Of the new
army's scheme seems borne out by
reports that there have been whole
sale confscations of private prop
critics in areas inundated by the lat
est red wave, together with perse-
cution of landlords, shop proprietors
and others classed as Capitalists.

Davis Suggestion May Be
Taken Up by Hoover
Inquiry Group.
BY LYLE C. WILSON
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-The
need for a thorough inquiry into eff
fectS of tirne-saving industrial ma
chimes upon unemployment was en-
phasized today by James J. Davis,
secretary of labor, at the opening
sessions of the advisory committee
on employment statistics.
Davis described the march of the
machines at a meeting attended by
labor leaders, economists and manu-
facturers, who assembled with the
secretary in accordance with Presi-
dent Hoover'S call of Aug. II. The
committee will advise the labor de-
partment's statistical bureau on
ways of adding to the governments
knowledge of unemployment.
At the same time General ia
cob S. Coxey, who in 1894 led a
march of the unemployed on Wash
ington, called upon Secretary OF
Commerce Lamont, chairman of the
Presidents cabinet unemployment
council, with a proposal of an
eighteen-month moratorium and
payment of 500 a month to all
unemployed adults as measure Of
relief.
COxey Flags Wall Street
His crusading fire undimmed,
Coxey emerged with word that La
mont had countered his proposals
by stating they would be in viola
ton of the administrators policies.
Coxey denounced the Wall Street
banks, which he said had drained
the country of it's credit resources.
He said bank credit had collapsed
and that his moratorium proposal
was to relieve installment buyers
and prevent foreclosure of mort
cages.
Meanwhile, work of setting up
administration machinery to deal
with unemployment awaited the ar
rival of Colonel Arthur Woods, for
mer New York police commissioner,
who was selected for this task by Mr..
Hoover. Woods is expected to arrive
here later in the day.
Davis Interested in Machines
Davis, in addressing his committee,
asserted he was interested particu-
larIy in prospective surveys which
would show the extent to which
machines were displacing manual
labor.
The tracklayer and railroad Sec
ton hand are being replaced by
mechanical devices that do their
work much quicker, and the long
shoremen, steel-puddler, glass-blow-
err and scores of other skilled work
ers are being replaced by machines,
he pointed out.
Gust how far are these changes
responsible for our present unem-
ployment," he asked, "can this queS-
ton be answered and, if so, how are
we to answer it?'

offered to lis a number of sites and
these are being considered" Arm
strong said.
LAS for Indianapolis, I frankly
can state that the corporation has
made no definite plans. However,
it Is true we have considered Indi-
annapolis for the Baltimore

little shopping around. listening to
propositions put before us by real

he added.
Armstrong declared he is planning
a trip through the southwest to look
over several hotel sites. He will
make this inspection visit within the

you more definite details concerning
our plans for the next year in new
units to the Bowman-Biltmore group
when I return from this trip" the
hotel executive promised.
