Will Order Authorities to Arrest All Such Men Fears That Some Bold Move Will Have a Bad Effect-President Kann Determined, Special to The Journal. Indianapolis, April Mount will not allow armed laborers to be brought into the State to work in the Alexandria glass factory. Ho made this statement today, in speaking of a conference yesterday which he had with W. L. Kann, president of the American plate-glass works of Alexandria, Governor Mount said: "I told Mr.

Kann that he should not bring armed laborers into the State. I will not allow it. If thero is any arm- Ing to be done, I shall do it myself. If he should attempt to do it. as the labor commissioners say he has threatened to do, I shaf! order the authorities to arrest every one of such men.

I am not going to have any such condition of affairs at Alexandria as existed at Pana, 111." Tho Governor said that Me. Kann was obdurate, and at the outset of the conference with him he seemed determined not to yield any point in the situation. He would hear to nothing but. that the men who had gone out of the factory should tear up their cards and go back as union men. "I told Mr.

Governor Mount continued, "that: I thought thai he was asking too much: that his proposition wn.s not in accordance with labor principles, and that I could not susiain him on the ground on which he stood. I told him I thought the men should be accepted baclc as union men, on the promise that they would work as individuals, and not attempt to run the factory or dictate as to what should done. At first he would hear to no such talk, but before he left ho softened a little and promised me that ho would consider tho ina and talk with me again." Governor Mount expected that Mr. Kami would call on him again today, but he was informed that he had gone 10 nttsburg, and would see the Governor when he returned. The Governor does not know what motive Mr.

Kann has in going to Pittsburg at this time. Mr. Kann, he says, is strong in his views on tho lock-out question, and may take some bold steps that he thinks are right The conference that Mr. Kann had with the Governor has not materially cleared up the situation of the lockout. The Governor, the labor commissioners and the Attorney-General are still striving to devise a plan that may be agreed on by all parties concerned.

Governor Mount today submitted his idea of a possible settlement of the difficulty to the Attorney- General, and it is understood the labor commissioners and the Attorney-General concur with the Governor's ideas of a settlement Labor Commissioner McCormaclc talked with the Governor for a short time this morning and then left for NoblesvHle where some difficulty over the settlement of the bottle-works strike has arisen. From there he expects to go to Alexandria, and to keep in constant touch with the State authorities In regard to a solution of tho difficulty. Commiesioner Schmid also conferred with-Governor Mount today. The labor commissioners say they fear President Kann will not listen to their overtures before he brings laborers from Pennsylvania. The sympathy of the whole county in uraich Alexandria is located "is with the locked-out men, and trouble is anticipated if roeu are imported to work in the factory.

Fortunately the day being one of rear no one was working in the cellar and thus the brick wall fell widiout injury to any person.
