Labor Vote in Indiana May Defy Party Lines

Perkins of the State Federation of Labor and John Mitchell, ex-miner leader, offer divergent views, while Gompers’ stance is seen as less decisive. Brewers coordinate with both parties to influence legislative races, and in Logansport a dispute over temperance drinks pits Prosecutor Custer against Police Captain Graham as court actions loom.
