INDIANAPOLIS, THURSDAY, MARCH 5, 1881
BOSS COFFIN PLOT TO
KEEP HIM BEHIND BARS
is CHARGED BY DUVALL
4 Know Too Much Claims
Former Mayor From
His Jail Cell.

Charges that George V. CBoss)
Coffin is conspiring to keep him in
Jail were made today by John L.
Duvall, former mayor, serving a
thirty-day term in Marion county
jail as result of his conviction in
September, 1927, under the corrupt
practices act.
Duvall, whose thirty day term ex-
pired today, was not released, pend
ing payment of a $1,000 fine and
costs, which he fears will keep him
in Jail nearly three years, at the
rate of 81 a day, unless his friends
come to his rescue.
The ex-mayor declared the G. o.
P. boss was inducing Duvall'S friends
to withhold aid in obtaining money
to pay the fine in order to keep Du-
vail in Jail preventing him from
making sensational disclosures.
"BuIIing Clyde Robinson"
Coffin is pulling Clyde Robin
son Marion county treasurer) that
if he doesn't help me he, Coffin, will
nominate Robinson for mayor" Du-
vail charged. "He won't nominate
Robinson. Clyde could help me if
he would, and he should. I put him
on the ticket for treasurer against
Collins wishes.
Coffin is telling Claude John
son (police chief under DuyalD that
if johnson doesn't help me he will
be nominated for sheriff. He won't
be nominated-George Winkler will
be.
IT always did say I was through
with politics, but Coffin figures I'm
not, and that if I'm fenced up in Jail
I am safe. He has a right to think
that. If I'm out and start talking
I can blow them all out of the water
I know enough about them ALL"
Robinson Denied Charges
Robinson, when asked about Du-
wallis charges, denied them, saying
he did not want to be mayor, and
adding he had told the boys" he
would give a little, all he could af-
ford, to help pay Duvall's fine. Cot
fin could not be reached for a state
ment.
Duvall appeared discouraged over
the prospects of being forced to
serve out his fine in Jail.
He went to jail Feb. 5 after the
Indiana supreme court Jan. 81 Sus-
tanned the appellate courts affirma-
ton OF Duvalls criminal court con-

Chief Justice Hughes
In Tribute to Red Cross

One of the finest tributes ever
paid the American Red Cross and its
membership was that by Chief JUS
tice Charles Evans Hughes, of the
United States Supreme Court, or
the occasion of the fftieth birthday
anniversary of the organize ton on
May 81 Of this year. Mr.. Hughes said:
"The American Red Cross repre-,
sents the united voluntary effort Of
the American people in the minis
try of mercy. 1t is the finest and
most effective expression of the
American heart. 1t knows no par,
tisanship. In the perfection of its
cooperation, there is no blemish of
distinctions by reason of race or
creed or political philosophy.
However we may differ in all
things else. in the activities of the
Red Cross we are a united people.
None of our boosted industrial enter.
prises surpasses i. in efficiency =.
1t moves with the precision and the
discipline of an army to achieve
the noblest of human aims.
1.-THE American Red Cross is not
only first in war but first in peace.
The American people rely upon its
m~inistrations in every great catas.
trophe. 1t has given it's aid in over
one thousand disasters. When, as
we hope. war will be no more, still
the Red Cross. in he countless &C.
tivities of relief and rehabilitation,
will continue to function as the or.

SIX-HOUR DAY PI

o1ZA-41OoN D1A1 LAIN
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, spoke
in commentator of William Randolph
Hearst's declaration in favor of the
six-hour day.
II commend highly the stand taken
by Mr.. Hearst" he said, land believe
the influence he exercises through his
newspapers will play a constructive
part in bringing this necessary initial
step in industry to a realization.
1.-The introduction of modern ma
chinery and power has increased the
productive capacity of the individual
in industry so per cent.
"How is it possible to operate these
machines and supply work for mil
lions six days a week?
1.-THE solution is the shorter work
day and the five-day work week, and
they ought to be established immed-
lately. We will never rest content I'M
til they are established"
On wage reductions, Green said:
Every reduction of wages that has
been made has only aggravated the
situation and increased the spread of
misery among the unemployed"
He stressed the fact that a 10 per
cent wage decrease in nj large East
ern industry resulted in a loss to the
consuming public-he buying power
of the workers-of $30,000,000 year.

Stunning market, business must share

fruits of the improved industrial eff
ficiency, resulting from greater use
of labor-saving machinery and from
improved technique of operations.
Failure to do SO precipitated the pres
ent crisis.
"In emphasizing that the time was
at hand for another reduction in the
hours of labor, William Randolph
Hearst pointed out:
Labor-saving machinery makes a
reduction of hours possible, and, in
fact, necessary. Otherwise vast num-
bers of working people will be thrown
out of employment.
1T has been the habit of the en-
ploying classes to take the full bene-
fit of labor-saving machinery and
capitalize it, depriving the working
people of their due share of the bene-
fit.
"'The advantage of labor-saving
machinery should be distributed to the
employers in greater profits, to be
sure, and to the consumer in cheaper
prices; but, above all, to the working
people in shorter hours, better wages
and better living conditions

man-power out of balance, American

day instead of a ten or twelve-heur
day.
