RAILROAD SHOP LABORERS ARE 5 ASSURED WORK B. and O. Evolves System of Guaranty to Assure Normalcy. By Scripps-Howard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, March 5.—Joining to turn back the spectre of unemployment. labor and management of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad have achieved anew formula which is attracting attention in industrial circles. First of its kind ever achieved on any major railroad system, the plan assures employment for 1930 to all of 1,100 shop workers furloughed in December. Whatever unemployment may occur will be distributed as widely as possible under the co-operative arrangement, so that no man will be forced to go to another community. In return for labor's pledge to avoid overtime wherever possible and to achieve the highest possible degree of efficiency in every shop and roundhouse operation, railroad undertakes to guarantee employment to some 12,950 shop operatives, at the risk of over-running its normal shop budget by $2,000,000. Risk Mitigated This risk, however, is mitigated by the prospect of a business recovery which will make the normal shop force necessary during the last three-quarters of the year. In short, labor and management are sharing the gamble on the business recovery. The agreement was concluded after protracted negotiations between B. & O. officials and representatives of railway employes department of the American Federation of Labor. “Mr. Willard deserves a great deal of credit for his splendid co-opera-tion in this undertaking," said O. S. Beyer, consulting engineer of the railway employes, who participated in the negotiation.

Force in Each Shop After the shop crafts accepted a forty-four-hour week for all operations, the railroad undertook to establish a stand-by force in each shop. From this force, it will take men for temporary work to fill vacancies due to illness, absence, accidents, and other causes Long experience has established tables which will enable the shop foremen to determine pretty accurately the average number of men required in these stand-by forces. The plan alone is expected to provide work for 1,500 men. The railroad further agreed to resume certain operations at the Washington (Ind.) car shops by sending in surplus work from other divisions, which will accumulate at some of the larger shops under the shorter week. Thus, the employment slack will be spread about evenly over the entire force of some 13,000 men. SPANISH STILL AT ODDS Followers of King Alfonso May Establish New Dictatorship. By United Press MADRID. March 5.—Intense republican propaganda in army circles may result in establishment of another dictatorship on the pretext of ‘defending King Alfonso’s crown,” political observers believe. Damaso Berenguer s first task as premier, which was to accomplish what he called the “pacification of spirit.” is more difficult than he reckoned, because two radically opposed forces are emerging, those remaining faithful to Alfonso and those opposed to him.

JEWEL PROBERS TO PONDER ON MISSING AGENT Sold Valued Necklace of Hapsburgs for $60,000; Then Vanished. By United Press NEW YORK, March 5.—An ordinary American grand jury is going to take up the matter of the diamond necklace which was supposed to re-establish part of the Hapsburg family fortune and didn’t. The necklace’s career in the United States will go under grand jury scrutiny, probably beginning Friday, Harold W. Hastings, assistant district attorney, said today. Archduchess Maria Theresa of Austria decided to dispose of the necklace, which the emperor Napoleon gave Josephine, 119 years ago, and expected to obtain sufficient money to recoup part of her fortune. Colonel Charles Townsend, former member of the British secret service, according to himself, was an agent and he sold the necklace to D. M. Michell, jeweler, for $60,000, and disappeared. His disappearance is one of the things the grand jury will look into. Meanwhile, Archduke Leopold, nephew of the archduchess, has said he would receive the necklace after the diamonds have been extracted and that he planned to replace the diamonds and sell the necklace for $500,000. The original price of the necklace is estimated at $350,000.

ANIMAL PICTURE TO BE HERE THURSDAY All Bair Theaters to Offer “Hunting Tigers in India” as a First Run Talking Feature. FROM Marco Polo to Kipling, tellers of tales have used India as the background for some of their most interesting naratives. Now the talking pictures have discovered its possibilities and its contrasts of poverty and splendor, densely inhabited cities and wide expanse of jungle, vice and religion, insinuate themselves into the all talking motion picture entertainment of "Hunting Tigers in India,” which comes to the Bair theaters, starting Thursday, for three days. Commander G. M. Dyott, who turned photographer and scientist following his service in the British naval air forces during the World war, and whose travels have led him to most of the strange places of

the earth, is responsible for this most modern tale of India and the inclusion in It of life and adventure in city and jungle. He was a part of the A. S. Vernay expedition under the auspices of the American Museum of Natural History, cranking the camera while his companions stood by with a rifle ready to bring down attacking animals. While a huge tiger hunt, In which three of the jungle destroyers were slain, forms the basis for the most thrilling scenes of the picture, Commander Dyott found time to take his camera into the cities and explore their markets, streets, by-ways and customs. He also took part in a government authorized hunt for a “rogue” elephant and got near enough to the one-horned rhino, of which scientists say only 200 are alive, to take close-ups of the dangerous survivor of prehistoric animal life. But, of course, India is most famous for its tiger hunts. To bring down a tiger is the ambition of every big game hunter and as a result the organization and conduct of assaults upon the life of “old saber tooth” has become almost an industry in that country. “Few people realize,” Commander Dyott says in the course of his talk in explanation of “Hunting Tigers in India,” “how much work and expense is involved in one of these hunts, nor how necessary they are to the welfare of the jungle people.” Because of the nature of the country in which the tigers have their existence, he explains, it is virtually impossible to hunt them down without the use of a vast number of elephants and natives. In the hunt shown in his talking picture, Commander Dyott, and his companions used more than 100 trained elephants and nearly 600 nalives. Of course, in India, wages are low even for this dangerous work, and food for the elephants, each of which consumes nearly a ton of food daily, is to be had from the sur-

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

‘Doggy’ Trick By United Press NEW YORK. March 5.— H. B. Muenchow is one man who justly can claim his trail was dogged. He was arrested by Prince, a nice little police dog, which can stand on its hind legs and stretch its head up 5 feet 6 inches. Prince’s owner, Jacque Jansen, tried to have Muenchow arrested on a fraud charge, but couldn’t get the summons served. Prince went out, sighted Muenchow, dashed up and pinned Muenchow to the wall until police arrived. Muenchow will be arraigned today.

TRAFFIC COURT IS SUGGESTED Board Considers Proposal to Relieve Congestion. A separate police traffic court to handle city traffic code violators was proposed today by Police Chief Jerry E. Kinney. The safety board is considering such a plan. At present, major traffic offenders are tried in crowded municipal courts. Minor violators who receive stickers are “heard" before traffic policemen. The safety board, discussing steps to tighten enforcement of the traffic laws, pointed out the handicap of a small police force. “I think the department should concentrate on the downtown area and clean it up,” Donald S. Morris, board member said. With eight additional motorcycles, the police department will be better equipped to handle speeding and traffic violations.
