made The residence of Mrs Lottie Heims 1003 East Washington street was robbed during the nlgnt but the thief was frightened itwiiy John Saepolo told the police Inst night that was held up at ifteenth

them from factories out side of Indianapolis the slack barrel workers of the International Union No 25 went on strike yesterday The contending principle is whether the operators shall meet in conference with the committee of the Cooper's Union or whether the operators will be able to ignore the union from start to finish The strike is confined to Indianapolis Several days ago tho union asked the operators to grant an increase amounting tn nearly 20 per cent to take effect July 1 The operators refused to acquiesce Hill fc Snn replied by discharging all employes and informing them that they would no longer run a' union factory They were informed they could apply for work singly as nonunion men if they de sired Daniel Burton and the Indiana cooper age works each refused to grant the re quest of the union or to treat with them as members of the union but expressed a willingness to communicate with indi vidual men The strike was extended yesterday to all the men employed at the three plants numbering about fifty At a meeting of the union yesterday it was decided to insist on operators meeting the commit tees Behind the strike is a story that Presi dent Parry of the National Manu Association Is attempting to have all operators wholly ignore the re quests of any nature from committees of the union The local breweries have adopted a policy unfavorably for the operators The breweries aro using many slack or loose barrels in shipping bottled beers and they have purchased only those barrels that have the union label stamped upon them Today another request will be made upon the operators to confer with the committees to adjust the differences It is not known what step the operators will take but it is supposed they will refuse to confer at all as long as the present supply of barrels lasts Two switch trains in the yards at the Union station had a collision near Dela ware street yesterday afternoon and one of the cars was derailed and one of the rails broken The
