In case of disputes of the standing of individual carriers, the United States railroad labor board is to decide the issue.

LABOR SITUATION REPORTER GOOD Local Federal Representative Says Indiana Common Labor Short. In response to a letter from Francis I Jones, director general of U. S. employment service, asking for general information concerning employment conditions throughout Indiana. Thomas Riley. Federal representative, today sent the following telegram: "The demand for common labor exceeds the supply. Small surplus skilled labor owing to coal and railroad strikes. Demand for farm, domestic and female factory' workers." Trustworthy Help lacking Riley, in discussing the employment situation of the State, called particular attention to the shortage of what farmers term "trustworthy" farm hands. The surplus of skilled labor referred to in the telegram, Mr. Riley said, was only a temporary surplus that would soon be absorbed when railroad difficulties were settled. The absorption of common labor by building trades' activities and reopening steel mills of the State, has created a shortage in this class of labor. Pinch Felt North The weekly industrial review of the employment and business situation of the State made to Mr. Riley shows that the northern part of the State is beginning to feel the pinch of the coal and railroad strikes. Business in that section reports a falling off, while Evansville, in the southern part of the State, reports conditions unchanged. EXOTIC PETS IN LONDON Women Carrying Monkeys, Mongooses and Even Snakes in Streets. LONDON —The place long held by the dog as family pet and street companion is threatened by the monkey and other exotic creatures.

People are also getting accustomed to the woman with a young white fox on a string, another with three cats and the chimpanzee that rides in a motor car. But the most startling innovation in family pets was observed at a lawn party where a guest carried what appeared to be a sunshade with a highly decorative handle. Closer inspection revealed the “handle” to be a beautifully marked snake, perfectly motionless and carelessly twined over its fair owner’s arm and around her sunshade.

Ths Indiana State fuel emergency committee today disposed to abandon further effort to obtain Federal aid for canning factories and utilities that are in need of coal, upon receiving from the Interstate Commerce Commission, a telegram announcing that no coal could be shipped into this State until certain formalities had been complied with. The Indiana National Bank’s guarantee for the payment of the coal was not considered sufficient because the State commission had not filed blanks prescribed by the Federal commission. While John W. McCardle, chairman of the commission, was out of the city and no expression could be obtained from him. other members of the commission said Indiana mined coal will be at the disposal of Indiana utilities and industries before Federal aid can be extended.

State officials have discussed purchase or lease of mines or sinking a shaft on the premises of the Southern Hospital for the Insane, near Evansville. The tract of land surrounding this institution. 500 acres in extent, is known to be underlaid with one of the finest varieties of coal found in Indiana. The coal is found at a depth of about 100 feet—easily accessible by shaft. It is pointed out that a shaft could be sunk and operated by the State, on a cost-plus basis, that would supply all State Institutions all the time at a cost probably lower than market.

ernor of the State and an out-and-out anti-prohibitionist. Because the klan is a popular as well as a political issue in Texas, said to be the strongest klan State In the Union, and because of the combined impeachment and prohibition issues involving Ferguson, not a newspaper in the State has ventured to take editorial sides in the campaign. The fact of the matter is that both public and politicians would be much happier if neither candidate were in the race.

BAD COMPANY CAN HURT VEGETABLES Speaker at Meeting Here Says Environment Important in Shipping. The disastrous effects of keeping bad company was graphically illus- \ trated to the Vegetable Growers’ As- ; sociation today at their meeting in the j Assembly Room of the Claypool Hotel. : The illustrations, life size, were j shown and discussed by Harold W. | Sampson, specialist in standardization \ of the bureau of Agricultural Econoni- j ics of Washington. D. C., but the bad i company was kept by the vegetables, \ according to the pictures. According to Mr. Simpson, an entire crate of respectable Bermuda onions can have its reputation ruined and its market price greatly reduced by the discovery' that it contains a few double faced, thick necked specimens. In the same manner, he contended, j a few undersized overripe potatoes can corrupt an entire sackful of worthy "spuds” and give the shipper a i bad reputation and the potatoes a low I market price. ' Containeis of deceptive shape and size serve also to shake the confidence of the buying public, Sampson declared. Other subjects that made up the day’s program at the convention were discussions of the municipal markets in Detroit and Memphis, the possibilities of radio in market and crop reporting, and fertilizer problems and the plan for a national publicity campaign.

SANITARY BOARD HIRES ENGINEER DESPITE SWIFT E. W. McCullough Becomes Employe by Contract Signed Today. MEMBERS ARE IN TILT Craven Declares Associate’s Speech Is Misstatement of Facts. In spite of opposition from Lucius B. Swift, member of the board of sanitary commissioners, a contract for the employment of E. W. McCullough as engineer of the board was signed by the board today. Swift, in a formal statement to the board, said: “I have examined the contract which the majority of the board proposes to make with Ervin W. McCullough, and I find myself unable to join in the execution of the contract. “We already have one of the most efficient organizations in the country for all kinds of sanitary construction; the men were carefully selected and are highly skilled. This contract proposes to set up a second organization with all n<?cessary expense and to pay Mr. McCullough the sum of $6,000,” Swift said “These facts make It impossible for me as a member of the board to join in the execution of the proposed contract," he said. Jay A. Craven, president of the board, said in reply: "Mr. Swift’s statement is a clear misstatement of facts. There will be no saving by having the present engineer perform the work. Charles F. Hurd, the present engineer, has a large force of assistants, while Mr. McCullough will do all of his work personally and the only assistant he will probably hire will be a tracer for his drafting work.’ LEGION INVITES PREMIER Lloyd George Considers Attending American Veterans’ Convention.
