PETERS, PRAISE
MANUFACTURED,
SAYS GREENLEE
CIaqueS Pack Rallies and
Lead Cheering, Asserts
MCNutt Aid.
BY DANIEL VI. KIDNEY
Times staff Writer

Latest worry of the McNutt clan
is caused by the fact that at the
numerous Democratic meetings
throughout the state their political
foe. r. Earl Peters, is getting the
most applause
They charge that the Peters sup
porters have organized claques and
that employees in the office of Floyd
Williamson, state auditor, are
working in shifts" at this business.
simple technique is followed by
the Peters pep men. When Gov
ernor Paul V. McNutt or his pat
ronage secretary, Pleas Greenlee,
makes a speech they sit on their
hands. Then when Mr.. Peters ap-
pears they applaud and applaud
and applaud. They also cheer.
Peters "SteaIs the Show"
Thus they are reported to have
stolen the show at the Laporte
meeting Thursday night.
Then there was the Terre Haute
event where Richard Werneke pre-
sented Mr. Greenlee with a loving
cup. 1t seems that Pleas got the
cup, but Al Feeney, state safety di-
rector and Mr. Greenlee's chief pro-
tagonist, got the applause.
Credit for this, or debit, depend
ing upon which side you view it
from, was given the Peters crowd,
augmented by the Lee Bays forces
from Sullivan county
Feeney Gets Big Hand
Mr.. Feeney was cheered for five
minutes or more and Mrs. Peters
also was given great big hand. ;"
That this represents the popular
sentiment of the rank and file of
the party, McNutt leaders refuse
to believe. But it has them wor-
ried. They are sending out distress
signals. This was definitely DEM
onstrated recently when MIR. Green
lee spent his entire time talking
turkey to various county chair
men who had been summoned to
the Governors office for interviews.
The genial McNutt machiniSt.
Mr.. Greenlee, remains confident
through it all. When questioned re-
garding the Peters plan of bring
ing your own applause, he com
mented:
Pleas Wants Delegates
Peters can have the applause, but
we are going to get the convention
delegates. That is what really
counts"
In nonpolitical language, this
means that Mr. Greenlee is work
ing for McNutt control of the state
convention where Mr.. Peters, for
mer Democratic state chairman,
who was ousted by Governor Nc
Mutt, is seeking the nomination for
United States senator.
Mr.. Greenlee long has been back
ing Sherman MintOn, public coun-
selor, for the senate race. Nobody
seems to know who the Governor is
backing and it has been questioned
whether he knows himself.

COAL FREIGHT RATE
|SCUT 5OPER CENT
Anthracite From Upper Penn.
SyIVania Section Affected
in New Ruling.

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion today ordered a new rate on anth-
racite coal from the upper or wyoming
fields of Pennsylvania to Washington.
The new tariffs, which go into effect
March 30. mark a reduction of almost
so per cent under the combined book"
rates which the railroads would charge
il any coal were shipped from the
Wyoming fields.
The decision. holding present Joint
rates "undulv prejudicial" to Washing
ton coal dealers and 'unduly preferen-
tial" to shippers from the lower Penn
sylvania section, was based on COM
plant by the Brookland Coal Co., Inc,
of Washington.
The decision will have no effect on
the retail price of coal, but will mean
simply that coal from the Wyoming
region can be brought here for the
first time. The rates, however. will be
higher than from the Lehigh or
Schuylkill regions.
The new rates place the wyoming
fields on a parity with the lower fields
in the Schuylkill region. Into Washing
ton the new rate from the Wyoming
region will be 1884. as compared with
$685., which would have been the joint
tariff over the roads of the Delaware &
Hudson, the Lehigh Valley, the Central
of New Jersey, the Baltimore & Ohio,
and the Reading Railroads.
The decision makes it possible to ship
coal into Washington from the upper
fields on a competitive basis with coal
from the Schuylkill region. A differ
entail of only IS cents will prevail.
The Brookland Co. filed its complaint
with the I. c. C. in August, 1882, aneg-
ing the rates from the Wyoming re-
gion were unreasonable. unjustly dis
criminatory and unduly preferential"
