INDIANA LABOR I POLICY PRAISED ( ’<>v . Townsend Points To Effectiveness Os State’s Policy Indianapolis. Ind., Aug. 2—lndiana's labor arbitration policy is based on the confidence of labor and industry, Governor M. Clifford Townsend said today In answer to a qquestionnaire fiom a national i magazine. I believe that what success we have liad in Indiana lias been based pn.martly on confidence,’’ Governor Townsend said. “A labor division with authority to promote voluntary arbitration and concilllators who can win the u.nfidence of labor and industry should be more valuable under ordinary circumstances than rules aud regulations. I'he conciliation service of the Indiana division of labor its purely voluntary. However, more and more workers and industries are asking the assistance of the divi,s> si. 1 think the reason is that the division is absolutely impartial aud fair and that common sense and sane reasoning are more attractive . than bitter warfare. "There was no violence in Indliana during the titeel strike. I be- . 'ieve one of the contributing sacI tors to this happy situation was 1 that the workers and employers had <-.ifidence in the Indiana division of labor. Another example of that confidence Is the number of labor agreements signed with the labor division by unions on the one hand and companies on the other. "Labor in Indiana has demon--1 strated that it can be responsible and responsive to the welfare of I the community and of the workers, I which means indirectely the wel- ; fare of industry as well. Industry I in Indiana has demonstrated that j it can be sympathetic and reepon sive to the problems of its workers. ! "1 think that in this period of I education and evolution of labor re- | lations, labor and industry must . i have some impartial arbiter in i which they can place their confidi ence. It is my s-incere belief that labor ! I and industry, at least in Indiana. I are developing a better understand- , I ing of each other s problems. 0 JAPS THREATEN .rnS-Ttvt'En FROM PAGE OKg) They had come perilously near to an armed clash with French • l troops.

A source lose to the president declared: "Mr. Roosevelt himself has not decided when he will make an appointment," to fill the vacancy created by retirement of Associate Justice Willis Van Devanter. President Roosevelt requested the opinion, the source said, to clear uncertainty which had been expresesd in various quarters as to when the appointment should be made in accordance with the law. The White House did not make public the text of Cummings’ opinion but a presidential aide summarized it this way: "The attorney general's opinion Is that, both on precedent and on the law, it is perfectly proper for the president to make an appointment to the supreme court whether congress Is in session, recess or adjournment." President Roosevelt announced last week that he had asked Cummings for the opinion. He studied the attorney general's findings over the week-end while cruising aboard his yacht. Exert Pressure Washington, Aug 2 — (U.R) — House Democratic leaders agreed today to put powerful pressure! behind presidentially favored leg-1 islation in order to expedite adjournment of congress. The house pressure is designed to enable the lower chamber to catch up with Its program which has fallen behind that of the senate. Under the revised plans, house majority leader Sam Rayburn forecast that congress would be able to quit in three weeks and "probably before that.” First move in breaking the house jam was a decision by the house agriculture committee to I support the pending Jones sugar ’ quota bill despite administration | objections to the measure’s re- | strictions against imports of reI fined sugar from Hawaii and Puerto Rico. Speaker William B. Bankhead. D, Ala., declared that congress I was “on the home stretch.” The house leaders outlined the j tentative legislative program as j follows: | This week: action on the sugar bill and on the Rankin pensii n bill to provide $45-a-month pensions to gold star mothers and fathers and other pension adjust ments increasing pension benefits $8,952,000 annually. • Next week: action on wages and hours (passed by the senate Saturdayl and a bill to close tax ' loopholes. i Meantime the senate today ■ undertook consideration of the - i $700,000,000 Wagner housing bill, i This measure is expected to be soon as senate action is completed fitted into the house calendar as • j —possibly within two days.

BABY STEALER UNDER ARREST New Jersey Man Accused Os “Stealing” His Own Daughter Chicago, Aug. 2.—-(UR)— Accused of "stealing” bis baby daughter and fleeing with her in a chartered plane, John Hayes. 33, Mahwah, N. J., was held in jail today while police awaited appearance of a warrant from San Francisco. Police Chief J. W. Quinn, San Francisco, said he was forwarding a warrant sworn out by the child's maternal grandmother, Mrs. Charlotte E. Pendergast, charging Hayes with “child stealing.” Hayes, who traced his family back to William the Conqueror and has inherited thousands of dollars. was angry and indignant. He promised he would "fight extradition as long as I can talk." His mother, he said, promised he could use all of the $15,000 she has I in the bank to fight for Patricia i Ann’s custody. In addition, be eaid ' he has inherited some more money from his maternal grandmother. Mrs. Francis I. Maule of Philadelphia. As her father paced restlessly in his cell at the detective bureau, Patricia Ann Hayes, 28 months, played tranquilly in St. Vincent's orphanage. Hayes insisted Mrs. Pendergast "had no legal grounds to take out a warrant against me.” He married Elizabeth Pendergast six years ago. he said. Last February he went to New Orleans on a business trip, and while he was there his wife advised him she had started divorce proceedings. “The news was a complete surprise,” be said. He went home to his mother's estate at Compere Park, N. J. “I didn't hear any more from her, but near the end of June had a premonition something was wrong in California. So 1 put in a long distance call for my wife — and they told me she had died the day before.” Hayes said his wife left $30,000 intestate. That left $15,000 for him and $15,000 for Patricia Ann. He wanted his daughter, but his mother-in-law insisted she keep Patricia Ann, to “safeguard” the child’s $15,000. Hayes then put his money in a trust fund for Patricia. — o — Trade In a Good Towr — Oecatu* N. A. BIXLER OPTOMETRIST Eyes Examined - Glasses Fitted Saturdays, 8:00 p. m. Telephone 135.
