BIG INDUSTRIAL WASTE BARED; WILL CURB LOSS Engineers Appointed by Herbert Hoover Report Results of Thorough Search. ST LOOS, Mo., June 3 —Startling figures'ln waste In industrial processes and recommendations for curbing the enormous annual losses were made public hero today in the report of the American Engineering Council's committee on “Elimination of Waste in Industry.' "More than 60 per cent of the responsibility for these wastes" the report said, “can be placed at the door of management and less than 25 per cent at the door of labor.” The report urged the Installation of nation-wide machinery to obtain continuous reports on employment conditions; the finding of ways to regulate employment and suggest a plan for cooperation between the Government, the public, trade associations, industries, labor, bankers and engineers to eliminate waste. The report was made public by the executive board of the Council of Federated Engineering Societies. It was compiled by a committee of sixteen engineers. appointed last January by Herbert Hoover, president of the organization. The findings were based on the investigations of a large force of field workers in New York, New England and Pennsylvania, and were declared typical of conditions throughout the country. The engineers found that the margin of unemployment In the country amounts to more than a million men, that billions of dollars are tied up in idle equipment, that high labor turnover is a rough index of one of the commonest wsstes and that the waste of energy and money through duplications in estimates and bids in the building trades runs into millions annually. Both capital and labor are blamed for the abuses found, but the report declared that annual losses through conflicts between the two Is much less than popularly supposed. BUILDING TRADES LOSE 5500.000.000 IN 192 L Between four and five million workers were idle the first two months of this year, the report said. It predicted that $500,000,000 will be lost in the bu'lding trades in 1921. Waste, the report said, came from an Interruption of production, low production, restriction of production and lost prod notion. ‘"The average method of management is far behind standards which have demonstrated their practical value.” it said Billions of dollars are tied up in idle equipment: manipulations in raw material result in serious losses; present sales policies are a contributing cause of irregular production: an evil in some cases is the practice of cancellations and returns: high labor turn over is a rough Index of one of the commonest wastes; the waste of time and energy and money through duplication of estimates and bids in the building trade runs into millions every year. "Maintenance of high prices on the part of the owners influence the situation : collusion in bidding as frequently practiced in the building trades is a restriction.” Unions were criticized for restricting output by limiting the number of machines one can attend and forbidding on® class of workmen from encroaching on another’s duties. The complaint placed the economic loss through preventable disease each year at $3,000,000,000. Deaths and serious accidents in industry can be reduced at least 75 per cent, it said. PROPOSE NATIONAL INDUSTRIAL SERVICE. Recommendations for elimination of waste Included: v formation of a national Industrial information service: a statistical bureau to report on employment conditions, a national health policy including plans for the employment of defectives, revision of Federal laws interferring with stabilization In‘industry, a program for the adjustment and settlement of labor disputes. Organized labor should develop a policy for increasing output, the committee declared. Intermittent employment is the result of lack of stabilization iu industry. Among causes are seasonal irregularities in demand, lack of coordination between related industries, managements' failures to link up sates and production policies, speculative purchasing of raw material, shut-downs for annual inventories and other wasteful practices.

UNION RAILWAY RESTRAINED BY FEDERAL COURT (Continued From Page One.) rion County Jail. He has been In Jail since March 5. when he was arrested. He and another young man who never has been apprehended, were arrested at a hotel in Anderson with Aileen Jenkins, 17, St. Louis, Mo., and Lucille Cunningham, 21, Quincy, 111. The young women were not Indicted by the Federal grand jury. Both were in court today, but were not used as witnesses as Avery entered a plea of guilty. Shortly before noon Charles E. Borgman, Cincinnati, Ohio, formerly an engineer on the Big Four Railroad, was brought to trial on a charge of robbing an interstate freight shipment on the Big Four Railroad not far from Milford, Dearborn County. The principal witness for the Government was Charles Cousin, 922 Prospect street, this city. Cousin said he was "beating" his way on the freight train and saw Borgman and several other persons in the freight car from which the goods were stolen. He was subjected to a grilling cross-examination by Ira Holmes, Borgman's attorney, but the youth stuck to his story and it was not shaken in the slightest degree. The case wene to the jury this aftereoosl

CITIZENS PROTEST ROAD BOND ISSUE Tell Tax Board Pavement Is Not Needed. —VMore than fifty Marlon County taxpayers appeared before the State board of tax commissioners today to protest against the pavement by the county of Arlington avenue between Washington strset and the Pendleton pike. The county commissioners proposed to issue bonds totaling $99,500, to bear interest at 5 per cent, to pay for the construction and taxpayers affected appealed to the tax board.

SLIPS THROUGH LAW’S FINGERS Leaves Court Before Warrant to Hold Him Can Be Obtained. When Robert Connee, who said he came to Indianapolis about three months ago from San Francisco, and who rooms at 412 East Court street, was fr.-sd of a charge of petit larceny in city court today after Motorpoliceman Fred Dtinkut told the court that Captain of Detectives Fred Simon wanted a continuance of the rase for about a week to make a more thorough investigation. Judge Walter Pritchard stated emphatically that the officer coyu’d “not touch t.he man without a warrant.” Before the warrant could b* sworn out Fred Hartman, attorney for Connes. ushered his client out the rear entrance of police headquarters. Connes was arrested Thursday at his rooming house. John L. Martz, who also rooms there, reported to the police that someone had stolen his watch, valued at $75, while he was asleep. Connes was suspected. In court Connes’ plea was that he was “just playing a Joke on his friend.” Connes testified he went into Martzs room and told of a “funny dream that he had about a man climbing up the fireescape and stealing Martz'* watch.” Martz's watch was missing from the dresser where it had been a few minutes before. When Martz returned to his room Connes was not there, but the watch had been returned. Connes said he was hiding behind the door when Martz returned to his room. Captain Simon said he wanted the continuance to give the detective department sufficient time to receive word from the San Francisco detective bureau as to whether Connes had a police record.

CITY PLANS TO DIRECT SERVICE OF TROLLEY CO. (Continued From Page One.) out improvement orders. Dr. Jameson said: ‘•We do not deny at all that the city under section 110 of the public service commission act has the right to order betterments of service, improvements in tracks and such things.” COMPANY ISSIEb DEFI TO CITY. The company, however, will not comply with such orders unless it has the money with which to make the improvements, he indicated. “The company can only spend to the extent of its finances,” he continued. The rate of fare has got to be fixed to yield that reasonable return upon the valuation of our property so that we can build a strong, stable s rvice upon the basis of sound credit and anything that the city wants in addition to that in the way of extensions, paving between tracks and so on will have to be provided for in such additional revenues as the city and the public service commission sees fit to grant. Wo will do whatever we can with the money we have. REGARDS CHANGE AS BENEFIT TO CITY. “We believe, clearly, that going under the public service commission is going to be more to the advantage of the city than to anybody else in the world. We believe that this is the only way the city can get a sound healthy service."

Confidence is of Slow Growth But a Mighty Oak When Matured THIS STRONG COMPANY During the twenty-eight years of its business career has justly earned the confidence of the people. OLD FRIENDSHIPS FOSTERED AND MAINTAINED NEW FRIENDSHIPS INVITED AND ENCOURAGED THE INDIANA TRUST COMPANY FOR SAVINGS SURPLUS $1,750,000 Open Saturday to 8 o'clock.

When asked what the attitude of the company would be in the matter of paving between tracks and making other improvements in its right of way which affect not only the street railway passengers but also all others using the streets. Dr. Jameson cited that in a number of other cities the street railway company is not compelled to pay for the lntitial laying of pavement between tracks, the property owners paving for this and the utility for the upkeep thereafter. A question as to whether or not the company intended to take this stand in the future. Dr.' Jameson said : “We are not going to ask for any change.” “You are going to put this matter before the city and the public service commission. however, aren't you?” “Oh, yes, we will put it before them,” the traction head replied. "We will put it up to them and we will show them what difference it will mean in the rate if we are relieved of the burden.” Among the other specific provisions of the franchise which the city will attempt to save is that which permits the city to rent the old car barns at 1134 Shelby street for the housing of street cleaning mules, horses and equipment from the company for $1 per year with absolute possession going to the city in 1933 without cost. J. D. Forrest, secretary and general manager of the Citizens Gas Company, said today that the board of directors of the gas company had not taken up the question of surrendering the company’s franchise and hence he could say nothing about the matter.

PEDDLER OF OIL STOCKS NABBED ’Get Rich Quick’ Story Results in Arrest. Charged with obtaining money under false pretenses Michael Levine of Chicago was arrested at the Hotel Lincoln today by Detectives Barnaby and Church. Levine Is one of about twenty salesmen of the Five Star Oil Company of Huntington, who has been selling stock In this city, it Is charged. Police officials are in doubt as to whether the scheme, said to have been worked by Levine, comes under the head of a lottery. The Five Star Oil Company has been advertising In a number of motion picture theaters about the city, and several days ago Levine approached Inex Jaynes, 422 Douglas street, at a picture show and told her that she had drawn a site of one and one-fourth acres in I)e Sota Caddo Parish, La,, and that if she would pay him $25 to defray attorney and recording fees she would be assured ,of an income of S3O a month or more within a month’s time and that she would be worth from $7,00) to SB,OOO. She gave Levine $5 and was to meet him otday and give him the balance, S2O. In the meantime she talked the matter over with friends, who toid her that it was "too good to be true” and told her to consult the police. This she did and as a result Levine was arrested. The manager of the salesmen who are se’ling stock in Indianapolis, told the police that if Levine made the statements credited to him he overstepped the bounds of his Instructions. Inspector of Detectives Herbert Fletcher called on U. S. Lesh, attorney general of Indiana, and asked his opinion about the case. Mr. Lesh said that as his brother was Interested in hte company he preferred to give no opinion. However, he said that a number of reputable citizens of Huntington are connected with the concern, which is incorporated under the Indiana laws.

PORTER PEACE BILL REPORTED Majority Members of House Committee Favor Measure. WASHINGTON, June 3.—The Porter peace resolution was - reported favorably to the House today by the House Foreign Affairs Committee, the Democrats voting solidly against the final action of the committee. It is Manned to put the resolution on passage in the House next Thursday. The resolution declared a state of peace to exist between the United States, Germany and Austria Gungary and reserved to this country all its rights growing out of the war. The resolution differs from the Knox resolution passed by the Senate in that it does not repeal the declarations of war. A motion to substitute the Knox plan for the Porter resolution was defeated by Republican members with the Democrats voting members present. Democrats, It was indicated, will fight the measure on the ground that it. will forced the withdrawel of American troops from Germany and that the situation in Europe makes such a move unwise at present.

TULSA, LOOTED BY PILLAGERS, IS DISTRESSED (Continued From Page One.) against the city authorities when the special grand jury meets June 8, according to reports. Reports reaching the citizens committee here from all over the country, stated that money is being gathered in many cities to build up the $500,000 building fund to replace wrecked homes and to place the once proud oil metropolis on its feet, CONGRESS WILL SPEED UP RACIAL LEGISLATION WASHINGTON, June 3.—Congressional action to solve the racial question in America will be epeeded up as a result of the Tulsa race riots, leaders In both honses declared today. While no investigation such as followed the East St. Louis race riots which grew out of labor disputes is expected, three are two bills on the problems whies will be pressed for early action. % The first plan is a bill by Representative Dyer of Misouri. It proceeds under the theory that the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution gives the Federal Government authority to protect the negro from lynching. Participants in lynchln®* would be punished for murder by the Federal Government under the terms of the bill. It would also penalize counties in which lynchlngs occur by a fine of SIO,OOO. The second plan is to create a commission to study the subject of lynching and mob violence with a view to bringing about more harmonious relations between whites and negroes Senators Spencer of Missouri and McCormick of Illinois have introduced measures of this subject which are now being considered by tbe Judicisry Committee. Miny members of Congress have frankly declared themselves opposed to the Dyer bill on the ground that it invades the police powers of the States. Even the friends of the measure are not optimistic over the prospect for its passage. The Spencer-MeCormiek plan has the Indorsement of President Harding and ttands a better chance of becoming a law In his acceptance speech and first message to Congress the President took cognizance of tbe racial question.* CHICAGO. June 3—Two deputy marshals were badly beaten by a gang of 130 negroes on the south side here today. The deputies. Sam Howard and Frank Campbell, both white, attempted to arrested Albert R. Robinson, negro, who failed to answer a summons as a witness. While taking him by force, other negroes gathered. The deputies were beaten about the face and their guns taken away from them.

SAYS HE SHOT TO FRIGHTEN MEN Wayne County Farmer Testifies in His Own Behalf. Special to The Times. RICHMOND, ind., June 3.—Horace Miller, on trial in Wayne Circuit Court on a charge of assault and battery with intent to kill Charles Hiatt, stated on the stand Thursday afternoon that he did not shoot at Hiatt, but intended merely to frighten Hiatt and his helper. Miller Is alleged to have shot Hiatt while he was engaged in cleaning out a drain that runs through Miller's farm. Cross-examination by the State failed to shake Miller's testimony. He continued In his assertions that he was 400 feet away when, he shot and that the gun was pointed at an angle that made it impossible for him to hit or injure either of the men. Hiatt alleges that on - ! of the shots from Miller’s gun passed through his hat. The hat was introduced by the State but inasmuch as no gun shot holes were found in it its introduction as evidence was challenged. Knox County Banks Awarded Judgments Special to The Times.
