GEORGE BERRY SEEKS TO END LABOR STRIFE Industrial Co-Ordinator Seeks To Stop A. F. ' Os L. Strife Tampa, Fla., Nov. 14— (U.R) — Major George L. Berry, the president's industrial co-ordinator. Inaugurated today an 11th hour attempt to settle American Feder-1 I ation of Labor strife by arbitrol tion and stem the mounting de- ' i mand for expulsion of the rebel 1 unions led by John L. Lewis. At. the same time, craft union leaders meet bitterly opposed to the Lewis insurrection were understood to be “cracking down” on I state and city labor council dele- ' gates in a determined drive to assure sufficient votes to revoke 1 the charters of the 10 unions which defied the federation by ( ' joining Lewis' committee for in-1 dustrial organization. Many local 1 groups have defended the rebels. The craft leaders, spurred by the metal trades department action in approvirg a resolution forp I expulsion of the insurgents, were : ' said by well-informed sources to 1 have sufficient votes to achieve l the ouster of Lewis by the necessary two-third majority. Leaders | agreed there was only an outside chance for success of arbitration efforts. But Berry, acting as a delegate a,nd emphasizing that President Roosevelt is entirely aloof from , the battle over the C. I.

Two Adams County Pioneers Tell Os County 50 Years Ago

I Kirkland township as it was 1 more than 50 years ago was pictured by John H. Beery and Jeff Crunl. two pioneers of Adams county, who visited the Decatur' Democrat office Friday. Mr. Crum described the country I then as the time when, if you wanted to look out, you had to look straight up. From the window in : his home, where he can now see a couple of dozen houses, he could ■ then see but two. John H. Beery, 82, is believed to 'be one of the oldest filling station operators in Indiana. Assisted by his son, Charles, he manages a filling station near his home in Honduras. Mr. Beery attributes his exceptional health to good ancestry and the fact that he keeps active. Using an old fashioned buck saw he supplies all the fuel for his home and station. Mr. Beery was born in Hawking county. Ohio, coming here about 50 i years, ago. He believes his gTandmother, Barbara Miller Beery. es-| tablished a record at the time of her death by being survived by 11 children, 87 grandchildren, 138 great grandchildren and 130 great great grandchildren, a total of 366 descendants. Mrs. Beery lived to the age of 97, and friends of John H. Beery see no reason why he can not surpass this record by attaining a century mark. Both he and his grandmother lived a clean Christian life, be said. When Mr. Beery came to this I county the land for the most part

Under Ute new state law, 20 hours of safety Instruction, is now . required for graduation. The course will be conducted in the local school by the physical . education department. Hugh Andrews, head ot this de-' partnient, attended a eafety lusii 1 ,'tute at the Harmar school in Fort Wayne Friday morning ajtd afternoon.

Da-“ mon, director of the council of I public relations at the university; ; I Prof. W. A. Knapp, assistant dean of the engineering school and a director of the public safety instii tute, and Dr. D. S. Berry, assistant traffic engnieer of the National Safety council. These men have , been conducting a number of such .preparatory meetings over the state and will next visit Peru a.nd Muncie on November 18 and 20. Dr. Berry presided at the instii tute and introduced Professors 1 Damon and Knapp who discussed j I extensively the type of safety in--1 struction to be given in the schools. Such Instruction introduced in the school curriculum is i expected to result in a marked re- ■ ' duction of tht number of accidents involving pedestrians and motorists in the years to come. A general outline of the teaching procedure also was offered by the ! officials in charge. Neaaly j teachers attended the meeting.

Cash Rare Actual cash was rare in those days and the farms were nearly I oelf-eupporting. "If you had a couple of dollars in your pocket at that' time you felt like a millionaire," Mr. Beery said About the only things money was used for was to buy clothes and pay taxes. Corn brought 30 cents a bushel and oats could be purchased for 12 cents a bushel. Flax was an important crop not raised now. Social gatherings were frequent. Among the popular events were suppers, stofy telling, apple peel ing, and the making of sour kraut Log rollings were community festivals. A group of five or six men could erect the logs for the walls lof a house or a barn in one day. Tall Stories i Game was plentiful and many I stories survive of those days of easy hunting when open and clos ed seasons were unknown. Deer could be heard sniffing around the cabins at night. Mr. Beery told a story about how one of his friends killed a deer with the help of a hand spike. These spikes were elm branches about three or four feet long and as thick as a man’s wrist. They were inserted under a log and were grasped by men on either side. Five or six men in this man(CONTINUED ON FAGB TWO),

FIRST FAMILY SIGNS CONTRACT FORHOMESTEADS No Confirmation Received Os Additional Appropriation Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Pingrey, located in house number one at the northeast corner of the homo--1 steads project here, were the first couple to sign the permanent purchase contract at the local ! project, it wus announced today iby Marion Neprud, community manager of the project. No effort is being made to rush through the contracts ae it is the desire ot the Loca.l officials that all homesteaders thoroughly understand the proposition. Ferd ' Litterer. association manager. Is consulting with the homesteaders individually, in order that all misunderstandings may be cleared. However, a, large number of the 48 homesteaders have signed the contracts, indicating their approval of the method in which the houses will be transferred to private owners. The success of this plan offers hope that the petition filed several months ago by the original sponsors of the project in cooperation with city officials and others inter- | eeted. requesting the construction of 25 or 39 additional houses, will be favorably examined by the government. The local office could not verify a press statement that an estimated SBO,OOO additional appropriation would be included in the budget of Resettlement adminis--1 nation for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1938. According to the unverified report, the special ap propriation could not. be included in this year’s budget because of the drain of funds for drought relief. In support of the belief that the ‘ government is reacting favorably i 1 to the petition, is the fart that a I special investigator was sent to Decatur to make a housing survey and to obtain the reactions of the citizens and property holders - of Decatur on the proposition. Although his report was confidential, persons who acconipajiied him on his survey reported that no vacant houses could be located nad that no opposition wae met towards the proposal. 'Various national and regional officials have expressed the appreciation of the cooperation offered the project by Decatur, and as the policy of the resettlement administration ha,s been to locate pro- | jects only where they are desired it i« believed that this will be of assistance in the favorable consideration of the petition. Local homesteads officials have 1 expressed their appreciation of the majiner in which the homesteaders have taken up the consideration of the difficult and complicated final purchase con--1 tracts.

Mr. Klepper also took recognition of the local support given the ■ cheese industry and expressed his . appreciation and that of the local j sa'ee force to merchants and patt rons who assisted in'making the week a success. A proclamation by Gov. Paul V. t McNutt was issued last week in which he urged "the citizen® of Indiana* to cooperate whole heartedly in the observance of this week to the end that cheese consumption , j may be increased and agriculture i prosperity of our farmefs be furthI er assured." Governor McNutt, in his procla- | mation. stated. “As one of the naI tion's leading cheese-producing: states, Indiana and its dairy farmers have an important stake in . this vast industry. Production ofi cheese has advanced raipdly in Indiana during the past decade until | today our state ranks third among the cheese producing states of the nation. Establishment of cheese factories has helped to solve surplus milk problem throughout the ■ state. Continued expansion of the ' industry, and a real appreciation on the part of consumers of the . goodness and economy of cheese In the everyday diet are important L factors in building permanent pros- , perity.” Cloverleaf Creameries supplied local trade channels with all of the Kraft cheese products and daily delivery is avaiable, Amos Graber, sales manager stated.

Airplanes And Artillery Open Bombardment In An Effort To Force Early Surrender O£ City. 150 CASUALTIES Madrid, Nov. 14 - (U.RF-Naiiona-1 ists opened a merciless terror bombardment of Madrid today in an effort to force the city to itH knees. It was estimated that 150 persons were wounded or killed in one city square, the Atchoa square in the working class district ot] southeast Madrid, by insurgent airplane bombs. Airplane bomb an d artillery shell crashed into the heart ot tha city to which the Moorish and for. eign legion shock troops had failed in one week of ferocious fighting to make their way. Casualties began flowing into hospitals all over the city. All night artillery shelled the city. In district after district people startled from their sleep at the crash of six inch shells into their neighborhoods. Then at 8:45 a. in. three black: three-motored nationalist bombing planes dropped bomb after bomb, of large size, onto the waking capital. Many women and children were caught helplessly as they walked along the Atocha drive into the square, on their way to or from the markets to get their food, rationed because of the siege. Men were caught as they walked to work. The chief objectives of the bombers was the ministry ot public works, on whose roof several ■ anti-aircraft guns are mounted. ■ Between 12 and 14 bombs, it was estimated, landed on or near the ministry's roof, which was damaged severely. Windows within a radius of five blocks from the ministry were shattered. A nine-story apartment building opposite the ministry was wrecked and two great storfe pillars of the ministry fell. Telephone, telegraph, electric and street car power wires were torn. Water mains were broken, to wash away the blood of the victims. Storm guards roped off the area and ordered tenants of damaged apartment houses to evacuate. As the bombs and shells blasted the helpless city, loyalist Iroops were pouring out to the battle lines to attack the nationalists iu their own territory on their new offensive. The nationalist artillery opened up in the dark hours of the morning as the loyalists started their attack and soon the reverberations from explosions of six-inch shells echoed through the sleeping city. The United Press correspondent hastened to the nine-story apartment house. As he arrived ambulances were taking away th® wounded and dead. Three vegetable fruit sellers standing in front of the house by their carts were killed. Their bodies were lying in blood alongside their dead burros. One bomb crashed through a supposedly bomb-proof subway, but (CONTINUED ON PAGE THREE) GEORGE HERETH ■ I LEAVES DECATUR I - — .
