Strikers Here Confer

With peace declared along the
national front in the United Tex
tile Workers of America strike, diff
ficulties developed here in the set
Element of the local strike against
the indianapolis Bleaching Com
pany, 900 West Wabash street.
The first of these came early this
morning when union pickets or
sympathizers, picketing the mill
despite the strike settlement, stoned
fleet of cars, conveyed by police
men, bringing working employees to
the mill. The stoning was de-
nounced by Charles A. Young, plant
manager, as contrary to the spirit
of President Roosevelt's strike
peace request.
The second difficulty presented
itself when >2r. Young and Charles
P. Drake, business agent of Local
No. 2069, U. T. w. A, conducting the
strike against the bleaching COM
pany, were unable to agree on how
the strikers would return to work.
Mr.. Drake insisted that all should
be returned Immediately to the same
jobs they had when the strike was
called. Mr.. Young said that the
men would be absorbed as rapidly as
possible, but added that he intended
to keep such former employees of the
mill as had been rehired during the
strike. This, he argued, would ne
cessitate some readjustments OH
jobs.
Mr.. Young also said he would not
re-employ any one facing criminal
charges as a result of strike &C
tivities until such workers had OBJ
tanned dismissal Of those charges in
police court. The plant manager
said that his chief desire now was to
get the difficulty adjusted as quick
ly as possible to obviate further vio-
lence.
The management's proposals were
discussed at meeting of the strik-
ers this afternoon in strike head
quarters, All Blake street.

These declarations were maze
today to the Indianapolis Times
by Will H. Craig, Noblesville,
Republican for forty years and
at one time delegate to the Re-
publican national convention.
Tracing the senior senator's
acts from the time he was a state
senator to his years of wearing
the toga of United States SEN
ator, Mr.. Craig scored his party
leader for failure to back Presi-
dent Roosevelt's Economy Act"
During the nine years Arthur
r. Robinson has been in the sem
ate did he ever vote for economy?
No bill of any consequence has his
name attached to it. He has voted
to override economy bills of Cool
idge, Hoover and Roosevelt. He
always is playing for the vote of
the minority classes expecting the
mass of the people to forget his
record Mr.. Craig charged.
'The last time he made a jack
ass of himself was over the
Economy bill. This was the best
bill of the New Deal. 1t cut salar-
les of public officials Is per cent
and cut the graft out of the PEN
sion roll. It met the hearty APP
proval of patriotic business men
of the country.

playing for the votes of the vet
Grams and oficeholders, denounced
as towards every one that voted
for the bill.
Through deception another
bill was offered to repeal the
economy act. Then the real
