‘25,000 JOBLESS IN CITY’STARTS ACONTROVERSY ; Jenkins and Riley and Allen and Kleinsmith Going Round and Round. ! Contradictory statements were made today as a resuit of the controversy over the statement attributed to R. C. Jenkins, examiner of the Indiana free employment bureau service, to the effect that there are 25,000 unempvoyecr in Inainapolis, The statement was published In an Indianapolis newspaper several days ago that Mr. Jenkins had telegraphed Prosi<ient Harding in connection with the proposed unemployment conference that there are 25,000 unemployed in Inddaiv ai>dUs. This statement met with the immediate objection from A. J. Allen, secretary of the Associated Employers of Indianapolis, and of the National Metal Trades Association, that this fig ure was too high. Mr. .Jenkins is employed under the direction of Fred Kleinsmith, Federal employment director for Indiana, and Thomas A. Riley, a member of the State Industrial board, who has charge of the employment service of the State. Both Mr. Kleinsmith and Mr. Riley stated Sir. Jenkins had reported to Ahem that he had conferred with Mr. Allen before giving out the figures and that, the figures were those of Mr. Allen. Mr. Allen flatly denied ever hating given such an estimate or giving any estimate of unemployment to Mr. Jenkins. In a letter to Mr. Kleinsmith. Mr. Jenkins denied he had told any one that he sent such a report to* President Harding. He said he had asked the paper which printed the statema nt to correct it. At the same time Mr. Riley and Mr. Kleinsmlfh issued orders that Mr. Jenkins should make nc further statements to nerxpapers, bnt should turn all his information over to them and that they would give it out. Mr. Riley said a s'atement given out by Mr. Jenkins to the effect that the demand for skilled labor Is greater than the supply is Incorrect. In order to counteract the effect of this statement he sent the following message to examiners in charge of employment offices. ; "it is well to tie optimistic, but not to the extent of self deception and in giving out favorchle reports in newspaper C"tlicity that local industries are oper tiling normally and in some lines yon are unable to supply the demand. Such reports draw the unemployed from other sections and tend to aggrava'e the already serious conditions.” Mr. Allen has sent summaries tending to contradict Mr. Jenkins’ quoted statements to Mr. Jenkins and to Governor Warren T. McCray.

ELECTRIC CO.’S MERGER PLEA IS DENIED BY BOARD (Continued From Tage One.) mission is not unmindful of the posslb’e beneutß that might accrue to the citizens of the various communities through the establishment. of a central generation plant, serving ihe consolidated properties Under the law, however, any consolidation of utility properties must have a proper basis of valne, a proper relation between Talue and securities and a sufficient annual income to curry proper capital charges. In this case the valuations claimed were excessive, the securities sought to be issued out. of proportion to real value, and the Income insufficient to support even the fixed charges Permitting the consolidation on the basis proposed would have capitalized excessive values against the consumers. This of course, jg improper. The petition was therefore denied.” OPPOSITION LEADER ALSO HAS A WORD. Fred Bates Johnson, attorney for the city of Kokomo, who was a leader of the opposition to the consolidation, made the following statement; “The respondents are pleased with the promptness and brevity of the denial of this petition. By the denial of this petiolon the State of Indiana, through the public service commission, serve* notice to all that the day of ‘turn-overs’ and watered stock is past in this State. "The respondents were gratified at the open-minded attitude of the commission throughout the hearing. Commissioner Barnard, who presided, opened the doors to all evidence that might tend to enlighten the commission on the controverted facts—the value of the constituent properties, the relation of valne to securities requested, and the income. In so doing he showed a broad grasp of the points and principles involved aud a fine regard for the rights of the public." J. W. Fesler, counsel for the corporation, said he bad no comment to make. He said iris first intimation of the action of the commission was tho request, for a statement on the action. He said be had not discussed the matter after the close of the hearing about two weeks ago. The bearing on the petition lasted a week and the case appeared to be one of the hardest fought that has come before tbe commission. The opposition, which consisted of the city of Indianapolis, the city of Kokomo, the city of Elkhart and of Indianapolis power user*. Insisted the proposed consolidation was merely an attempt to overcapitalize property already existing.

It is not believed possible that Sorace could have crossed the Hudson. Guards think he swam a short distance up or down stream and then came ashore again and went into hiding. His rerape was the first in forty years from the roof. Sorace was serving ten years for manslaughter. He would have been released in 1937, with time off for good behavior. PLEA FOR G. A. R. AID IS SENT TO WAR SECRETARY Use of Army Blankets and Cots, Turned Down Once, Asked Again. The critical housing situation existing In Indianapolis, and the inability of the G. A. R. housing committee to obtain sufficient rooms for the old soldier* of the Civil War, who will be coming to Indianapolis Sept. 25 to 29 to attend the fifty-fifth national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, led John B. Reynolds, executive secretary of the executive encampment committee to address a letter to John IV. Weeks. Secretary of War, today in regard to the Government's refusal to permit the veterans to have the use of army tents, blankets and cots, which are badly needed. Efforte, which have been made by Senator Harry 8. New at thfc request of Mr. Reynold* to obtalu the necessary cots and tents have not been successful. Senator New told Mr. Reynolds dne to the existing Army regulations. In his letter to Secretary Weeks ilr. Reynolds said: “A situation has arisen in connection with the G. A. K. encampment to be held in this city, during the week of Sept. 25, which I am bringing to your attention in the belief that you will be glad to assist In meeting It. "Recently, the committee In charge of arrangements for the entertainment of the Grand Army requested the beadouurters of the sth Corps Aren, at Ft. Benjamin Harrison, to lend them sueb army tents as might be required for the use of the old veterans during the encampment. The commanding general has Just advised that, much to his regret, this cannot be done, as it Is contrary to the present regulations governing such matters. ' "It appears likely that thousands of the G. A. R. men who will attend the reunion will be compelled to sleep on benches tn the parks because of the housing situation r.nd that the only way this can he prevented is for the \Vr, Department to recognize this as an emergency and authorize the use of army tent* as well a* of cots aud blankets, which will enable us to convert vacant More rooms into dormitories. The old fellows who fought for the Union deserve special consideration and l earnestly hope that the matter will be handled in a mnnner not perfunctory nor in strict adherence to regulations. Avery unhappy impression would bo created throughout tbe country If the veterans were told that the Government, with a vast supply of teuts, cots and blankrts, could not see Its way clear to come to the aid of the men of '6l. and I feel sure the War Department will make every effort to meet the situation. "Indianapolis is entertaining the Grand Army two year* in succession, due to the fact that no other city expressed a desire to receive them. We consider it an honor and n privilege to have them with ns and feel that the Administration is likewise so deeply interested In tho wel fare of the raphl'y decreasing hosts of th G. A. K. that’this request for help will not go unheeded If necessary. Con gross could be called on to pass concurrent resolutions authorizing the lending of cots and blankets for this occasion. This could be rushed through Immediately after reconvening and the authorities at Ft. Benjamin Harrison would be able to supply ail the articles needed on very short notice. We have been advised by the quartermaster that there Is an arapL supply of tents, cols aud blankets at the po*t.” Flans alo were completed to havs thousands of rooms coupon* aont through the public schools in an effort to bring the atten ion of tho public to the ueou of securing rooms for the veterans.

MARYLAND SUIT TEST IN BATTLE OVER OPENSHOP Legality of Strike Insurance Companies Raised in Petition. BALTIMORE. Md.. Sept. 14.—A suit that probably will hare a vital bearing on ihe Nation-wide battle between capital and labor over the “open shop” is under way in court* here. Involved is tho question as to whether socalled “strike Insurance” companies are legal Insurance concerns. BANKRUPTCY PETITION FT' ED. Efforts of Xkomss .T. Keating, Maryland insurance commissioner, to have the Empleyera’ Mutual Insurance and Service Company, a strike insurance concern. declared bankrupt were temporarily held up by Judge James J. Dobler, in the County Court, According to charges filed by Keating half of tho probable claims against the company totp.l $2949.678.17, while its assets are only $2,000,000. The reason for this apparently is that strike Insurance was too popluar among certain employers. After taking out a policy they cared little if men went on a strike. Plants were closed and big claims filed with the insurance company. INSURANCE WEAPON. AGAINST OPEN SHOP. In many Instances strike Insurance was nsed by employers to force employes to accept the open shop, it is alleged by labor leaders. riants were closed and insurance claims piled tip the men agreed to abandon the closed shop, it is said. Although the State insurance commission refused to approve the new plan the company attacked by the Maryland commissioner wrote 991 policies in thirty industries of forty suites. Employer policy holders, who chuckled whilo men were striking, have rushed here to fight Lie bankruptcy proceedings, while organized labor has turned its attention to the case.
