PARING PHASE
Tactful Manipulation
Required to Evade
Question.
PHELPS ON STAND
WASHINGTON, Sopt. 27. Tactful
manipulation was necessary today to
prevent the national unemployment
conference from colliding with those
con trove r-iial questions which It is
hopeful of avoiding, such as wage
reductions and their effect on unem
ployment.
Roswell Phelps, director of labor
statistics in Massachusetts, was the
first witness before the committee
that is trying to ascertain the ex
tent of unemployment. He said it
has been found In Massachusetts that
the present Avidespread unemploy
ment was due not so much to lack
of xvork as to the übwillingnsss of
workers to accept the wages offered.
Unemployment, he said, dated gen
erally from the time hte employers
began reducing wages.
Matthew WolJ, the labor member of
the committee, questioned Phelps closely
concerning his statements that wage re
ductions formed a great factor in unem
ployment, but Phelps stuik by his guns
and Woll desisted from his questioning
with a smile.
HOPES TO AVOID
CONTROVERSY.
Phelps expressed the hope that “con
troversinl questions could be avoldi-d"
and this was echoed by Henry N. Robin
Son of 1* Angeles, the chairman.
There is not as much unemployment
now as there was some months ago,
Phelps said. He thought the situation
was growing better.
"This is illustrated,” he said, "by the
fact that. last May In our public employ :
tnent office there wre thirty-five appii
*-ants for every position. There now are
about thirteen.
“People have exhausted their resources
now and are willing to go to work at
wages offered." . I
“Then." said Woll. “they have been
forced by economic necessity to accept a j
reduction of wages?”
“Yes.”
Harry D. Jacobs, a xvnr veteran, suc
ceeded Phelps and informed the commit- j

With only three of the twenty

the United Mine Workers of Amer

656 in favor of ordering the striking

small districts.
The contest between the two leaders
and their followers has continued for
more than three days and every effort
has been made by both side* to swing,

success of Howat, ns they believe the

State officials began to “tumble" today

DEMOCRATIC
SENATORSNOT
SOLID ON PACT
Few Expected to Get
Behind Wilson in
Opposition.
WASHINGTON, Sopt. 27.-Despite
the understanding given an. ,ber
of Democratic Senators that formet
President Woodrow Wilson quietly la
opposing ratification of th* German,
Austrian and Hungarian treaties.
Democratic leaders of the Senate
persisted today In their prediction
not more than a dozen on the Demo
cratic side would vote against rati
fication.
Influence of the former President wa*
reported to be at work when the entire
Democratic membership of the Senate
met in secret conference for an exchange
of vleeis regarding the treaty situation.
It was not the purpose of the con
ference to bind the Democratic Senator*
to any party policy of course respecting
the treaties.
Senator Underwood of Alabama, Demo
cratic minority loader, presided. He was
seconded by Senator Hitchcock of
Nebraska, ranking Democratic member of
the Senate Foreign Relations Committee,
who favors ratification. No definite
action wm taken and another meeting
will be held Thursday.
Senator Swanson of Virginia, another.
Democratic member of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee, denied a report
that he had conferred with Mr Wilson
regarding the latter's credited opposition
to ratification on the grounds that n
separate ponce with the Central Powers
would be betrayal of this country's as
sedates In the World War, and that the
terms of the treaties would give the
United states all the advantages of the
Versailles Treaty without the assumption j
of any of Its responsibilities.
It was learned Mr. Wilson bas so far !
recovered ns to bo able to take an active !
interest In the growing Senatorial oppo \
sition President Harding is exporieuc
ing in having the treaties ratified.
Aside from anti league irreconcilable* |
like Reed of Missouri, Shields of Ten j

lined up against the treaties, it was as

“I tried to kill her because I loved her.”
This statement was made by Karl Brown, 25, when ha surrendered at
police headquarters today after cutting the throat of Mrs. Atha Parish, at
whose home he roomed at 1106 East New York street. The attack oc
curred about noon. Mrs. Parish is at the city hospital, where little hope is
held for her recovery.
Brown made a signed confession In which he said he had loved Mrs.

she left the house to go to a grocery. He said when she returned the
quarrel was resumed and that she said: “I will make you sorry."
Women Report
‘Buck’ Passed,
Mules Remain

Shelby Barn Contro
versy F else.
At. the board meeting ,>f th* Original
South Side Women s club last right a
resolution was passed denouncing a*
false the statement by Mark 11. illlier,
president of the board of public works,
in which be said that the South side
Women ware themselves responsible for
the failure of th- board to remove the
city mule* from the Shelby street barn
“Th* board of public words, sail a
statement Issued by the club," was in
terested last fall In a municipal yard
which would have cost the taxpayers and
enormous amount of money, but so far
as building only n unit of the yard,
to hold the mules, i* concerned, the board
has not been Interested enough to as*
the city council for an appropriation to
build the barn unit. The mule earns
were In the limelight before the Mouth
Side Women's (Tub took up the task of
ridding the community of the offensive
odors which are a nuisunce and essential
ly interfere with a comfortable enjoy
ment of life. The citizens of the South
Side want to eliminate the Mason and
Dixon line and have only one Indianapo
lis. This cannot be done until we re
ceive equalization In return for taxation.
Avery public spirited lawyer has offered
Ids services gratis to the club if it de
cides to take legal action. We are aware
that a business men's civil organization
failed In It's efforts to remove the mule
barns as did also a group of women
who circulated n remonstrance signed by
hundreds of citizens in the vicinity of
the mule barns. They failed under a
'Democratic administration to remove the
I mules, so it really has been a pa-sing of
j the buck from one political party to
another.”
The club also resolved to cooperate
with the fire prevention campaign anj
will devote Us next session, Wednesday,
Oct. 3, to that subject.
