new rnUDLCMO TO ROOSEVELT Thousands Stage Walkout at Garment Factories. NEW YORK. Aug. IS. (U.fD Garment workers walked out today in a determined strike for better working conditions and more pay under the NRA in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.

The strike, involving 60,000 workers appeared to be effective throughout the metropolitan area. Workers in -some 2.500 shops generally expressed hope that the walkout would be a death blow to sweatshops. They gave the administration the first major strike problem since President Roosevelt asked for a moratorium on industrial disputes. As the zero hour for the strike passed, thousands of workers in the shops in and about the city commenced to pour out into the streets. Expect Complete Tie-Up.

BRIDGEPORT, Aug. 16. (U.R) Garment workers in nearly every Connecticut city participated in general strike today, coincident with "the walkout of New York operators. Secretary John J. Egan of the Connecticut federation, said.

"About 50 per cent of the slate's 12,000 operators have gone on strike. I expect a complete tieup by night." Dam Workmen Also Out. LAS VEGAS. Aug. 16.

(U.R) Workmen at Boulder Dam, one of the world's greatest construction projects, struck today after demanding a reduction In food charges, according to word received here. It was understood approximately 10 per cent of the 2,500 workers refused to report for work on the day shift until their demands were met. gandhTfast until death! National Leader Again to Refuse Food. -ic tii POONA. India.

Aug. 16. (JP) The Alahatma Gandhi i began at nT until death. The little Nationalist leader, who was arrested August 1 at the outset of a new disobedience campaign and committed to Yeroda jail here for a year because he refused to obey a command to cease political activities, threatened to start the fast unless he was given full rights as a state or political prisoner. At present he is treated as an ordinary prisoner, and certain privileges have been denied him.

He had written the inspector-general of jails, asking for rights he enjoyed previously. Jailed Fifth Time. Thus he would be enabled, the Mahatma indicated, to conduct a campaign for the regeneration of tnc untouchables as he did while imprisoned up to May 8 when he started three-weeks' fast in protest against "untouchability." It was believed that the Ma-hatma's new fast was due to the fact he has been unable to supply his usual articles to the press this week. "I might as well be dead if I am not allowed to proceed with my work, which is my very life," said the Mahatma in a statement he sent to the Bombay government after his imprisonment. It was stated autlioritatively that Mr.

Gandhi had been offered facilities to continue his campaign against untouchability under certain conditions. Whether these conditions were acceptable to him was not immediately made known. The leader uf the Indian independence movement has been placed in prison five times or conflict with British authorities. IDENTIFICATION OF BODY MADE POSITIVE EXETER. N.

Millar Halbert, district attorney, announced that Shank admitted placing poison in potted meat the motoring party bought at a roadside grocery to eat along the road. Shank said he was an Akron lawyer and had engaged Colley to steal papers from the Akron prosecuting attorney which involved a "big shot" Shank's firm was defending. Colley fled to ot Springs to hide and Shank followed to devise some means of disposing of him, Halbert said Shank confessed.

The four bodies were taken to Little Rock for an autopsy. The 4-year-old child who told policemen his name was "Cline," was being cared for by Malvern police. He said his "mama and papa ate some meat after I told them to leave it alone because I saw Mr. Shank put something in it." Confession Signed.

(JP) Inquiries today at the White House on President Roosevelt's policy for inflation and a managed currency brought the response that there has been no change and that future action depends on conditions.

Sutton JUST LET GOVERNOR ABOLISH THE LAWS GROSS income, sales, intangi- hies, beer and drivers license taxes have been piled upon the people of Indiana with the promise that these would cwners or tangible property In escaping from the crushing load that they had been carrying. Now in Muncie and Delaware County these ame property owners are faced with the prospect of taxes vastly increased over those of last year.

They will not assume this new load willingly nor without protest. They wiU wish to know WHY. with ail the new sources of revenue, they must continue to be the scapegoat of politics. "We would like to know where the rat hole Is, so we can stop it up, if possible." said the owner of a farm and of city real estate who struggling to keep his mortgagors from gobbling up him and his property. And that is a reasonable wish.

Is it to be the same old story of campaign promises Have the voters merely been fooled again as they have been fooled so often down the years? And if there are laws that stand in the way of decreasing taxes, why not just abolish them? Call upon the Governor and the Attorney-General to do it. When these worthies discovered that the law against draught beer was unpopular, they merely abolished the law. Certainly they must see that added property taxes are even more unpopular than the anti-draught beer law. What docs a little law, or the constitution amount to, anyway, hen it does not please the rulers of the land? "A breath has made them as a breath has made," and another breath from the Governor and the Attorney-General ought to be able to blow them off the statute books. EDWARD TUHEY, COUNSELOR AND SAGE EDWARD TUHEY was a man of silence.

He said little but when he talked it meant something. In a few words he had the faculty of getting to the core of any difficulty that was presented to him. Mostly he listened. Rabid partisans might rave, radicals upon any subject might wave their arms and become so excited they stuttered, but he remained calm. The rare words he uttered, and always in a low tone, were words of wisdom.

In him were the qualities of leadership. He went far in his home community, about as far as one could go in a community so circumscribed. He might have gone indefinitely farther in a wider field. In Muncie hundreds had come to depend upon him for advice throughout his long and useful life. Nobody can estimate how many he has helped in this way.

Many refused to reach a conclusion about an important matter, whether it was public or private, until they found out -what Ed Tuhey thinks about it." His position was that of sage but not of oracle. He rendered his rpinions temperately but he seldom made predictions. The opinions almost invariably were discovered to be founded upon sound reasoning and good sense. He knew human nature, especially the human nature of the common man. as few understood it.

His suggestions in politics alwavs carried weight, often the kind'of weight that changed almost unanimous opinions contrary to his. And he walked softly all his days, d-slifcing to injure another's kmdly and considerate. His political enemies respected him for his acumen and his honesty. When they disagreed they did not hate. Few persons have had the confidence of a community such as Edward Tuhey had it.

The city owes much to him for the two wise administrations he gave to it 'as mayor and the Muncie school system is better for his having been a member of the school board so many years. Mr. Tuhey was strongly opposed to politics in the schools. Thus when the majority members of the school board became Democratic a few years ago. he joined with his fellow Democrat on the board to retain the sole Republican member as president, because he could not see that the Republican's Republicanism or his own Democratic faith had to do with the efficiency of the schools.

In all his relations with his fellows he was patient, kindly, considerate. Always he was jealous of the right of school children. To attack these in any way was to arouse him to action. The school system and the school children were the objects of his special affection. The love that the people of Muncie bcre for him is his enduring monument.

ARMED EMPLOYES STOP BANDITS it AYBE it is time to begin i I training store clerks and A other employes in marksmanship as many bank employes are trained. Some of them have done pretty good work in bringing clown robbers but the majority are not equipped either with skill or with the weapons to do their part in stepping the crime wave. Thus four armed, unmasked bandits went into a Terre Haute drug store, Monday night, held up 15 clerks and escaped with $300 an narcotics worth many hundreds of dollars. One would suppose that so many employes in the place theve would have been one who could have escaped and done a little shooting, but probably none of them was armed.

i POLICE START NEW MANHUNT IN WISCONSIN Chicago Officers on Trail of Kidnapers. CHICAGO. Aug. 16. (JP Fifty police with machine guns and rifles were from Chicago into southern Wisconsin today in an effort to corral a band of suspected kidnapers.

Police said the desperadoes sought probably were members of the same gang as the two fugitives who eluded 300 officers after a gun battle on Chicago's western outskirts yesterday. Hangout for Gangsters. The exact destination of the mobilization of police was secret, but it was known to be in the Wisconsin summer resort region. The notorious Touhy gang, four members of which have been named as the $100,000 kidnapers of William Hamm, St. Paul brewer, are known to make their headquarters in the region.

George "Bugs' Moran, gang leader dethroned by the killing of seven followers in the St. Valentine's Day massacre, also has operated there. The police mobilization into the near-by state was led by Lieut. Andrew Barry, in charge of the kid nap division of the Chicago police i Hnortmnt Authority lor the expedition was given by the federal government. Detectives under Barry were said to have investigated in the district for weeks, disguised as farmers and tourists.

Several hideaways of gangsters and suspected kidnapers were reported to have been found. Two Escape Dragnet.

Four Intended Victims.

Police reports indicated Richard Yuma Philips, known here as an underworld go-between; Vernon Miller, one of the notorious Harvey Bailey gang of Texas; Tommy Touhy, brother of Roger Touhy, held for the kidnaping of William Hamm, St. Paul brewer; and George Kelly, said by authorities to be wanted in the Urschel kidnaping case of Oklahoma were the parties for whom the trap was laid.

Not considering poor relief, Dela ware County will require $105,009.15 more to operate its government in 193 1 than was appropriated for 1933, arccrding to budget estimates on file in the county auditor's office. The tenative 1934 budgets aggregate $382,017.40.

as compareC to appropriated for all 1933 county costs except poor relief. The increase is directly due to state legislation enacted this spring. County officials salaries were raised in most cases. The registration of voters will cost $10,939.50. The old age pension will amount to $60,000.

The joint county and city election will require an appropriation of The taking over of all county ditches by the county will add to governmental costs. Next year the county will pay all deputies. Added Revenue Helps. Partial compensation for the increased costs will be given by added revenue from the new intangible tax law and from fees which have been retained by officials but next year will go into the general fund. The amount of extra revenue will be estimated and will be considered by the county council when it meets to make appropriations, September 5.

Estimated increases in the costs of county offices, mostly due to deputies salary include: county clerk. $11,920.75 to county auditor, $9,918.44 to treasurer. $12318.76 to county recorder. $5,420.75 to county superintendent of schools, $4,131 to county coroner. to county assessor.

to $2,565, and sheriff. $19,192.50 to $19,685. The two exceptions are the county surveyor's office, reduced lrom to $4,295. and the prosecuting i attorney's office, lowered from to $6,490. Judge L.

A. Guthrie estimated that the circuit court can be operated for $17,582.75 next year, as compared to $18,448.75 appropriated for 1933. Due to an increase in civil cases, the superior court costs will be increased from $7,919.75 to $8,618.75, according to the estimate of Judge Robert F. Murray. The county commissioners budget estimate, filed late Tuesday afternoon, asks that the appropriation for the courthouse be increased from $11,880 to $12,330.

the county jail appropriation be raised from $6,308 to $6,469. the infirmary appropriation be increased' from to $29,810. and the children's home appropriation lowered from $16,320 to $13,430. Will Install Tank. Increase in the courthouse budget estimate is due to the contemplated installation of a pressure tank, the water to be piped from a well on the premises.

The cost is estimated at $450. Failure of the infirmary early vegetable crops, due to the drouth, is the principal reason for the increase there. The council is asked to increase the appropriation lor feed, scecfc rent and fertilizer from $800 to $2,000 and to raise the allowance for groceries. An extra $150 is needed for repair of ditches. The decrease in financial needs of the children's home is due to the fact that this year's appropriation included $400 for an electric refrigerator and $2,000 for a new boiler.

The usual items of the budget are little changed. The commissioners' budget for 1934 expenses other than upkeep of county institutions and buildings and poor relief, is increased from $11,717 to $19,922. Much of the increase is caused by expenses of the 1934 election. The board asks $880 tor inspectors, $1,100 for judges, for clerks, $660 for canvassing board and commissioners, $1,000 for ballots. $200 or advertising the election, $200 for election commissioners.

$2,970 for meals of election officials and $200 for election equipment, The legislature raised the commissioners' salaries from $600 each to $800 each. Old Age Tension $60,000. Items on the budget estimate not included 1933 appropriations include old age pension, expense of building two new bridges, $10,000. and the election expense. An item for ditch assessments on highways was increased from $500 to $1,000 in the estimate.

Salaries of the commissioners appointees, unchanged in the budget estimate, are: Two courthouse custodians, $900 each; courthouse matron, $430; county jail matron, S600; infirmary superintendent. 500; infirmary matron. $600; infirm- ary physician. $400; infirmary at-; tendants. orphans' home matron.

The estimate for infirmary nurses was cut from $900 to $840 and for extra help from $75 to $50. The commissioners ask that the appropriation far physicians at the chil- heme be cut from $250 to' 3150 and that the hack driver's pay be increased from $350 to $725.

16. UP) President Roosevelt has decided to concentrate many army posts into a few major establishments for purposes of economy and efficiency. He is now surveying the army outlay and is determined to weed out a large number of the army barracks to cut costs of operation and to promote co-ordination of the forces.

Muncie police, the sheriff's office state police and Blackford Count authorities have combined in the search for the two men. Their photographs have been circulated generally. A conference of all officers interested in the case was held recently at Montpelier.

and authorities were represented by Chief of Police Frank Massey and Corn. Tolice Are Cautioned. Both men are listed in police notices as dangerous characters, and officers have been cautioned to "take no chances, but shoot at the first sign of resistance." Corn returned late Tuesday night from a trip to Northern Indiana and Chicago, where he said he obtained conclusive evidence that Copeland and Dillinger are the men who took part in all three hold-ups. The automobile used in the Montpelier hold-up, a 1933 Dodge sedan, instead of a Chrysler, as originally reported, was found last week-end by Deputy Sheriff Cecil Rowe, of Medaryville, at the edge of Pulaski-Jasper County state game preserve. Auto Is Abandoned.

Farmers living in the vicinity told police they saw three men abandon the car there, transferring to a maroon coupe, either a Chevrolet or a Ford.

The Dodge was stolen from Isador Cohn. of Chicago, July 19, according to police records. When they abandoned the car, the men left a money sack containing a bill and 15 cents in change, some bread wrappers from a Logansport bakery, cigaret stubs that wer stained with lipstick, and a box of roofing nails, such as often ara scattered by bandits In escaping from hold-ups.
