election, the matter of COM
pany unions in a number of
Indianapolis factories also
will engage the attention of
Dewey during his stay here.
Fighting off a severe attack of
bronchitis, contracted when he
arrived in Indianapolis Monday,
Dewey revealed the purpose of his
visit from a sickbed at the Clay
pool.
A heavyset man with CRAVING
hair, who has spent twenty-five
years working on labor questions
for the federal government, Dewey
deplored the illness that has kept
him confined to his bed.
Several Factories Affected
There are about half a dozen
mills and factories in Indianapolis
in which government officials will
be forced to hold elections to de-
termine the employees rights to col
lective bargaining" Dewey said,
and to determine truly whether
they wish to stay under company
unions or organize with outside la
Dor groups.
THE practice of firing men who
have been appointed members of
employee committees to bargain with
bosses on 'trumped up charges must
be abolished if the NRA program is
to succeed.
TOO many people have been fired
for alleged inefficiency when, as a
matter of fact all they had done
was to be on committees seeking a
chance for collective bargaining with
managers of their industry.
Warning to Employers
"The employers must toe the
mark and stop all subterfuges.
In any case, in Indiana where I
find that the employees have rep
resentative committee and the own
ers of the industry won't allow it to
exist, I'm going to call for an cleo
ton in that plant.
THE election will be held under
auspices of government officials in
the plant and the employees will vote
freely on the issue Ballots and all
other election apparatus will be fur
niShed by Washington"
Dewey kept an anxious eye on the
weather today, hoping that despite
his illness, he might be able to fly
to Evansville, where he has heard
of existence of serious infringements
on the rights of labor under the
NRA.
He declared that he was not

Pledge Canvass Planned
Vote!

Today marks new era for
the motoring and walking pub
lie Of the city.
The Times is giving the walk
ers an opportunity to express
their opinions on the great
question of the day-whether
downtown traffic will be con-
trolled with or without soma
phores.
The first ballot in The Times
vote appears in this edition on
Page Two. The Times asks
that you, whether motorist or
pedestrian, signify your wishes
and mail the ballot to the
Signal Tower of The Times.
Be sure that your name and
address are on the ballot, or it
won't count among the scores
that will be received.
The safety board and the po-
lice department claim that
traffic control without soma
phores is the proper method.
Some of the cops who stand
against the barrage of traffic
agree with this, while others
feel that the old semaphore
way is the best.
Now, it's up to you. Cast
your vote and mail it to The

Second Mysterious Death
Attempt Is Puzzle
to Police.

The second mysterious milk poi
soning within a month today baffled
Indianapolis police. No clew could
be found to the perpetrator of the
newest poisoning attempt.
City chemists, analyzing contents
of a bottle of milk found on the
doorstep of Mrs Frances Okey, 1906
Olive street, asserted the milk was
loaded with poison" Wood alcohol
and a quantity of Strychnine had
been placed in the fluid, police de-
clared, after conference with
chemists.
John l.. Okey, husband of Mrs.
Okey, reported Wednesday to po-
lice that he aWoke Tuesday night
when he heard some one ripping
at the screen door in front of The
house. He shouted and said the
prowler fed.
Dog Feud Considered
The Okeys keep three dogs, and
police we're working on theory
that some person antagonistic to-
ward dogs had tempered with the
milk.
This morning Mrs. Okey went 10
her door for the milk and noticed
first that the cap appeared to have
been tempered with
When 1 pulled off the cap" she
said, I found the milk dozen
different colors. 1t looked just
like a rainbow. I called police and
they took the milk away"
Knows of No Enemies
Mrs. Okey denied she knew of
any enemies who might have poi
soned the milk. She said that she
had been placed under arrest once
on a charge of nuisance created by
her dogs. She said some neighbor
apparently was responsible, but that
the charge was dropped
A month ago wood alcohol was
found in a bottle of milk left at the
home of a north side family, en-
dangering the life of baby boy.

APPEAL THREAT MADE
IN SHIPPING RATE CASE
Rehearing Sought in Board Ruling
Affecting Chicago Area.

Appeal to the federal courts will
be taken if the interstate COM
merce commission refuses a rehear-
ing in the Chicago district switch
ing case, it was declared today by
Herbert j. Patrick, deputy attorney
general, and o. R. Livinghouse,
chief of the state public service
commission tariff division.
Rates fixed by the interstate
commerce commission, it has been
estimated, would add $4,000 900 a
year to freight costs of several In
diana and Illinois shippers, in COM
parison with a rate fixed by public
service commissions of the two
states.
The district involved is composed
of 600 square miles of territory
around Chicago, taking in the large
steel and other industries in In
diana'S Calumet section.

FEAR OF u. s.
INTERVENTION
IN CUBA RISES
Sinister Forces Working
Toward ENHANCEMENT
of Washington.
DISTRESS ON INCREASE
Havana Government Faced
With Empty Treasury:
Masses in Want.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS
Eeripps Howard Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-Anxi-
ETY. in Washington is increasing
with each passing hour that the
Cuban lmbrogliO continues without
a definite solution. Involved to
their very eyebrows IN the situation,
Uncle SANS officials here are well
aware that the ultimate outcome is
almost entirely out Of their hands.
Despite widespread desire
amounting TO a passion in this
country not to intervene, and de-
spite equally strong determination
on the part Of he present Cuban
regime 10 prevent it, sinister forces
appear 20 be At work in the island
pushing in that direction.
Full Support Lacking
One cause of uneasinesS here is
that the new regime of President
Grau San Martin still apparently
lackS island wide suppOrt-that
there still are a number of impor-
tant holdouts among the island S
political leaders and factions.
The entire national life is prac-
tically at a standStill. The economic
position, both of the government and
the people, is growing worse daily,
and must continue to do so until the
crisis is over. The government in
come has shrunk to mere tr1ckle,
owing to inability to collect taxes
and other revenue.
Even the formerly well-paid army
about the only class in the island
receiving regular wages-soon may
see payless paydays. Distress among
the masses is growing, according to
reports and hunger for many is al
ready at hand.
Unrest May Bring Strife
All this makes for increasing I'M
rest, which easily may turn to vio-
Ience unless remedied.
In the midst of all this are some
1000 American citizens, and a bill
lion and a quarter in investments.
With treaty commitments calling on
the United States to protect both
foreign and Cuban lives and prop
ertv in case the Cubans themselves
fail 10 do so, Washington is well
aware that 1t will be damned If 1t
does and damned if it doesn't.
