BUILDERS LAY
RED ACTIVITIES
TO UNION MEN
Opposition to Immigration Is
Plot to Force Higher
Wage, Charge.
OFFICERS ARE RETAINED
Rather startling, statements marked
.the debate on the association's poli
cies toward immigration and labor
legislation at yesterday’s session of
the ninth annual convention of the
National Builders’ Exchanges in the
assembly room of the Claypool
hotel.
During the discussion vigorous state
ments were made regarding the lack of
effort on the part of the United States
department of labor to stamp out the
reds and radicals in this country and
the motive behind the American Fed
eration of Labor’s fight for complete sus
pension of immigration was estimated in
terms of self-interest. One speaker
charged that the federation was against
immigration because it would continue
the prevailing labor shortage and there
by enable organized labor to further
boost the wage levels in the United
States.
President Charles William Bernhardt
took the position that Immigration should
be carefully regulated, but tbt the gates
of America should not be closed to those
who desired to escape conditions in Eu
rope when, on their arrival in the United
States, they made n convincing showing
as to their character and sincere inten
tion of abiding by the laws of this coun
try and becoming citizens.
The speaker said that the legislative
committee of the National Association
of Builders’ Exchanges had correspond
ence in its possession which indicated
the country is not approaching a crisis,
but that it already is in one.
Although during the debate every shade
of opinion from complete exclusion of
thg immigrant to liberal regulation was
expressed, the convention’s resolution on
the question proved to be a conservative
compromise favoring the continuation of
immigration "under proper regulations."
When the convention was called to or
der at 10 o’clock this morning the appli
cations of the exchanges at Little Rock,
Ark., and Warren, 0., met with favorable
action. The annual report of the board
of control was received and filed and V.
R. Gould of Omaha, chairman of the la
bor committee, reported that on account,
of the unsettled conditions afid due to
the fact that the employer interests
were being organized to give the subject
direct and inclusive attention, the labo. -
committee had been Inactive during the
year. 4
William F. Chew of Baltimore pre
sented the report of the legislative com
mittee and it was in connection with
this report that the debate on immigra
tion developed.
Mr. Chew presented for consideration
of the convention a resume of three pro
posed federal laws which are being
backed by several national organizations.
One of these would force labor organ
izations to incorporate so that they
could sue and be sued and thereby es
tablish some legal responsibilttes where
unions fail to live up to their contracts
and agreements or cause damage through
unwarranted strikes.
Another proposed measure would make
unwarranted strikes illegal, and the
third .would outlaw strikes of government
employes.
That the legislative committee for i920
might have the expression of sentiment
-of the convention to guide the commit
tee’s efforts the convention voted its ap-,
proval' of these proposed measures..'
Just before the noon adjournment Max
Baumann of New York reported as
chairman of the nominating committee
saying that in the committee's best judg
ment it would be wise to re-elect the
present officials. He said these officials
had made a creditable showing under
the extraordinary conditions in 1910;
that they were familiar with the peculi
arly difficult phases of many of the
post-war problems, and that there was
every reason to believe they could serve
the association better than anew Ret
of officers, however efficient and willing
the new officials might be.
The recommendation was enthusiasti
cally received by the convention and ac
cepted without a dissenting vote, the
-secretary of the convention being In
structed to cast the unanimous ballot for
the following officials:
Charles William Bernhardt, president,
Atlanta, Ga.
C. A. Dube], Sioux City, la., first vice
president.
William F. Chew, Baltimore, Md., sec
ond vice president.
B. M. Freeman, Columbus, 0., treas
urer.

“Non. Non. Sweet, gentle man,” said
Mme. Clemenceau-Jacquemaire In de
scribing her father, Premier Clemenceau
of France.
Mile. Balavier, secretary to the noted
French woman, who was the guest of the
Alliance Franchise of Indianapolis yes
terday, came to the rescue of the re
porter.
"Madame means,” said Mile, Baiavier,
“that ‘Tiger’ in France is a title of re
spect.
"She means that he, Monsieur Clernen
eea, he is so gentle. He does not spring,
pounce. He is so gentle. Ah, she means
so kind. Gentle like ze American kitten.
Gentle, you know, so kind. You know,
so loveable.”
All the while Prof. C. Michelon of the
Alliance Francaise in the Waverly build

introducing Mme. Clemenceau-Jacque
malre to members of the alliance.
Assisting were Mrs. Martin Rohfuss,

Jameson Says Service Will Be
Improved ‘if Possible
A delegation of business men and citi
zens, patrons of the Lexington avenue
street car line, appeared before the boaro
of public works to demand Improvement
of the car service on that line. Ther
left the City.hall with promises and as
surances of Dr. Henry Jameson, chair
man of the board of directors of the
street car company, that the service
would he Improved—“if possible.”
Individuals of the delegations shook
their heads during the “explanations” of
fered by Dr. Jamison, aind were heard
to mutter something about “If possible.”
“What's the matter, doctor?” bluntly
demanded the delegation.
NOPE, DIDN’T
SEND ’EM TO WAR.
“Car shortage. Car shortage. That’s
.l,” replied Dr. Jameson.
-“What’s become of the cars? Didn’t
send ’em to war, did you?” asked one
of the delegation.
“I have inside information,” said Dr.
Jameson ignoring the thrust, “that more
cars Will be delivered to us about Feb. 10,
but labor and lack of materials have
held orders and we have been
unable to give you people relief, ns
much as we would like to do. But we
can not put on a third car on the Lexing
ton line now and it could not be operated
under existing track conditions If we
did have It. But we are not letting the
matter drag.”
He produced letters to prove the good
faith of the car company.
The matter was finally adjusted when
the board agreed to order a twenty-min
ute service on the line, utilizing the two X
cars, but arranging a definite schedule
and seeking to reroute the street cars on
the line north on Illinois street to
Washington, instead of making the de
tour by way of Capitol avenue. f
Dr. Jameson agreed to try out the pro
posed changes.

LOWRY ASSAILS
LACK OF CARS
Park Board Official Raps
Small "Town System.
Indianapolis has a street car system
suited for a city of 100.000, instead of
a metropolis aiming at the half million
population mark, James H. Lowry, su
perintendent of public purks, told the
•Khvanis club yesterday afternoon.
Mr. Lowery interspersed an ardent
plea for a “boost Indianapolis” slogan
pYlor to pointing out the needs of the
community.
He poirrted out that, lack of railroad
track elevation is retarding the develop
ment of several sections of the city. In
the Brookside park section, particularly,
Mr. Lowery declared, there is Imme
diate need of an elevation movement.
A large attendance heard Mr. Lowry.
Changes In the bylaws of the Klwanls
will be placed before the club for a vote

sixth street, alleged adtomobilc thief.
Quinn talked after he had been taken to
the police station.
“I’ve told the truth. I've- told all I

he continued brokenly.
As Ray Colemart, 23, of 237 East

alleged automobile thieves, listened to
the words of Quinn, tears flowed down
his cheeks.

LEGION HOME
PLANS MADE
Tthe Indianapolis citizens' committee,
which haR considered plans fur the pro
posed American Legion home, has da
elded that the best way to commomoratp
the activities of those who served In the
world war, would be to erect a great
memorial as a part of a city plaza plan
on the block between Michigan and North
streets and Pennsylvania and Meridian
streets.
The committee estimates tbe cost of
the entire project at $10,000,0b0. The cost
of the land alone is estimated at
$4,750,000.
It proposes the purchase of two city
blocks, between Vermont and North
streets and Pennsylvania and Meridian,
erecting a building on one block and re
nting a plaza on the block south of the
Memorial to the Federal building.
In the block between North street and
St. Clair street, on which is located the
state blind school at St. Clair park, it
proposes the creation in the future of
another addition to the city plaza.
The proposed memorial building would
house the national headquarters of the
American Legion, the national headquar
ters of the Grand Army of the Republic,
the Woman's Relief corps, the Spanlsh-
American War Veterans and tiny other
organization of world war veterans.
It would require several years to com
plete <he project. It is proposed that the
cit/ and county provide money to pur
chase the site and that the state provide
the money for the building. If a second
special session of the legislature is held
in the spring a bill making possible the
beginning of these plans will be Intro
duced.

NONE SPARED
BY LIQUOR LAW
Judge Anderson Sentences
Rich and Poor ‘Violators’.
Men wearing diamonds and men wear
ing patches stood together in federal
court yesterday and pleaded guilty to
violating the Reed prohibition amend
ment.
Charles F. Heilman, former mayor of
Evansville,' once a power in southern
Indiana polities, was sentenced by Judge
Anderson, “Three hundred dollars and
costs," decreed the court, “for I do not
believe there Is any evidence of sale in
this case."
John G. Meyer, who was caught with
Heilman bringing thirty gallons of
whisky from Henderson, Ky., to Evans
ville, was fined SIOO and costs.
“So you're the man who jumped be
hind a tree when the officers halted
you?” Inquired the court.
Meyer, a small man, admitted the
fact.
Heilman, large and well dressed,
looked much out of place in the court
room before the Judge's bench, along
side of other defendants, foreigners
from Gary, East Chicago and Hamtpond,
and others. /
Henry Rufenbarger, a wealthy farmer,
Page Two.)
who lives near Muncie, Ind., told Judge
Anderson that he would not have been
caught if it had not been for his wife,
who deserting him. “spilled” to the of
ficers of his bringing seventy-five gallons
to his farm from Illinois.
“it’s awful when a man’s wife goes
back on him, ain’t it? said tbe Judge,
“but seventy-five gallons, fifteen gallons
the first time and sixty gallons the next
time. Why man. what Jid you want
with that much whisky'*
"I wanted It to last me the rest of
my life. My father lived to be ninety
years old,” explained Rufenbarger.
“How old are you?" the court inter
rupted.
"I'm 60”
"Humph, then seventy-five gallons would
last you until you were 90, if you drank
it at the rate of about two gallons and
a half a year, wouldn't It? How much
are you worth?” questioned Judge An
derson.
Rufenberger finally stated he was the
owner of an eighty-acre farm, but it was
assessed for more than it was worth.
"That's due to that tax law we’ve been
hearing about, isn't it?"
Rufenberger reluctantly admitted that
he was worth "about $25,000.”
"Well, suppose we fine you S2OO and
costs. How’s that? Is that enough?"
asked Judge AndeAon.
"That's enough, I guess,” replied Ruf
enbsrger.
"And you, Asher,” indicating the man
who had told the court he had Just got
out of the army and had gone with
Rufenbarger to Illinois to "get a drink
or two.” "You've admitted you are
guilty, too, we’ll make it SIOO and costs
in your case."

Discoverer Tells Druggists Not to

Mr. James H. Allen suffered for rears
with rheumatism. Many times this terri
ble disease left him helpless and unable
to work.
He finally decided, after years of eeaae
less study, that no one can be free from
rheumatism until the accumulated impar
ities. commonly called uric acid depos
its, were dissolved In the joints and
muscles and expelled from the bodv.
With this Idea in mind he consulted
physicians, made experimenta and finally
compounded a prescription that quickly
and completely banished every sign and
symptom of rheumatism from his ays
tem.
He freely gave his discovery to others
who took it. with what might be called
marvelous success. After years of urg
ing he decided to let sufferers everywhere
know about bis discovery through the
newspapers. Haag Drug Company has
been appointed agent for Allenrhu In thla

will freely return the purchase money to
all who state they received no benefit. —
