WAGES SLASHED FOR LABOR ON COUNTY ROADS

40-Cent Pay of Two Weeks Ago Cut Twice, Now 30 Cents on One Paving Job BY EDWARD C. FULKE Slashing wages of unskilled labor hired on public improvements has extended into Marion county circles, bolstering claims that certain paving contractors are profiting by the unemployment situation, it was disclosed today through an investigation by The Times. At least one contractor building anew county road is paying lower wages to unskilled labor than in many years, and may continue pay reductions. unless something is done to prevent it, it was learned. Information obtained from employes of one contractor established the fact that the average 40-cent wage paid two weeks ago has been slashed twice "because of hard times,” and now stands at 30 cents an hour, lowest pay in the company’s history. County commissioners have assumed a policy of “hands off,” despite admissions of John E. Shearer, board president, that a 30-cent pay is “pretty low.” “This board let bids in good faith,” Shearer said. “If contractors cut wages, that’s their business. This board will not meddle in their affairs so long as tne work comes up to specifications,” he added.

Contractors on four of the larger road projects are spending almost one-half million dollars of taxpayers’ money to improve about nineteen miles of road. Large forces are at work on three of the improvements. Laborers at the West Tenth street road told a Times representative that many are accepting the 30-cents-an-hour pay under silent protest. Cuts of 5 cents an hour have dwindled fheir pay envelopes twice in the last two weeks, they said. County officials say that the contractor is paying several men 17.5 cents an hour, although this was denied. Denies Wage Slashes W. C. Halstead. West Tenth street contractor, admitted to The Times that the 30-cent wage was being paid pick and shovel laborers, although he denied claims of three employes that cuts w ere made in the last two weeks. He declared his minimum wage is 30 cents, and the maximum 75 cents. The lowest paid employe is a water boy, who works for 25 cents an hour, he asserted. “Any man who says I have made wage cuts in the last two weeks is making a false statement. Somebody is working against my interests,” he added. He said that 75 per cent of his workmen have been with him regularly and that the balance are laborers who “are here today and gone tomorrow.” Wage reductions were made recently by the Indiana Asphalt Paving Company, builders of the Arlington avenue road, according to George A. Brillhart, official. Laborers there were cut 5 cents an hour recently, to a minimum of 35 cents an hour, Brillhart said. Pays 40 Cents an Hour J. R. Hiatt, contractor building the new Shelbyville road, lays the sole claim to making no wage cuts. Seventy laborers are receiving a minimum of 40 cents, he said. Laborers there cerified Hiatt's claim. A 30-35-cent minimum is the pay standard for laborers at the West Seventy-first street improvement, it was learned. Heads of the James E. McNamara Construction Company, contractors, declined to discuss the pay situation. Laborers at West Tenth street said that scores of men ask for emplyoment there daily. Some applicants are put to work without knowledge of what their pay will be, and abandon their duties after an hour or two when informed of the wage scale, they said. “There is plenty of squawking here,” one laborer said, "but there's nothing we can do about It. "What can a man do when- the boss comes around and says we re due for a cut? They put up the old story of hard times and cheaper labor, and there you are,” the workman said. Price War Is Blamed Commissioner Shearer declared that contractors are waging war among themselves for county business. > “They are paving roads almost SIO,OOO a mile cheaper than a year ago.” he said. Shearer asserted that the price war among contractors may justify to some extent the cutting of wages. He declared that contractors art paving roads for about $20,000 a mile this year against $30,000 average of last year. “I will not attempt to say whether the wage drop Is proportionate to the drop in bidders’ contract prices,” he said. Paving of about six miles of West Tenth street from Tibb6 avenue to the county line was awarded to Halstead on a low bid of $126,371, slightly more than $20,000 per mile. In 1929. Shearer pointed out, bidder’s prices would have been about SIBO,OOO.

The industry itself reported no change in operations for the week, output being maintained at about 57% per cent of capacity, but an improvement in demand for railroad requirements was noted. Pipe line demand wa% well maintained, but there was no improvement in other operations, f However, automotive demand is expected to pick up considerably as a result of the fact that the first day of next week will see the end of the vacation shutdowns of the automobile and accessory manufacturers.

CANADA WILL PAY HONOR TO AIRSHjPCREW Story of Heorism Bared; Two Men Repaired Fin . While Flying. BY GILBERT DRAPER. United Press Staff Correspondent MONTREAL, Canada, Aug. 2. Canada began its program of welcome today to the forty-four British aviators whose flight across the North Atlantic and up the storm-swept St. Lawrence valley brought the Dominion into closer touch with the mother country and forecast regular air lines between Montreal and London. The official reception for the officers and crew of the dirigible R-100 was set for 3 p. m. today, when the authorities of the Dominion and provincial governments, and of the municipalities of Montreal and St. Hubert, will extend their congratulations on the successful completion of the arduous flight, and express their admiration of the crew's heroism and endurance. Heroic Feat Bared The most heroic feat of the entire flight was not revealed until the dirigible had moored and its officers landed. It was the repair work on the damaged fin, done by two of the crew, G. E. Long and L. A. Moncrieff, while the ship was still flying. High in the air over the St. Lawrence valley, darkness around them and only the thin fabric of the R-100 supporting them, Long and Moncrieff lay face downward for hours, patching the torn rear fin of the dirigible. It was still day when the fin was torn, forcing immediate repairs if the possibility of disaster were avoided, but darkness overtook the two men before their work was half finished. The ship’s speed was reduced to almost a standstill, and its altitude lowered to 1,000 feet as the two men clambered out on the surface and began their task. Others in the crew held flash lights on them to aid in the work, but the faint gleam of the lights was little help. * Fuel Is Put Aboard When Squadron Leader R. S. Booth, the commander, radioed St. Hubert airport he would land at dawn, repairs still were going on, and it was not for hours afterward that Long *nd Moncrief, tired and chilled by the strong winds, drew themselves back into the ship’s interior and announced the repairs would suffice until they landed. Five thousand gallons of petrol were put aboard the dirigible Friday, while some of the crew made permanent repairs to the damaged fin. The fuel, it was announced, would take the ship on its scheduled flights to Ottawa, Toronto and Hamilton, and the next refueling will not take place until just before the ship departs for England on Aug. 14 or 15.

GOVERNOR TO HOLD MOONEY HEARINGTODAY High Court Recesses to Let Executive Hear Key Witness. RECONVENES ON MONDAY Evidence on Billings to Be Continued; Conflicting Stories Told. BY GEORGE D. CRISSEY United Press Staff Correspondent SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2.—The California supreme court laid aside the retrial of Warren K. Billings today so Governor C. C. Young might review evidence on which Thomas J. Mooney was convicted of complicity iA the San Francisco bombing, July 22, 1916. Although the two men were convicted of the same crime on virtually the same evidence, it was necessary that their cases be reviewed in a different manner. The court must act for Billings, because he previously was convicted, while the Governot has the power to free Mooney. To Repeat Repudiation John MacDonald, one of the two recanting witnesses in the cases, occupies an important position in the hearing before Governor Young, to open in Sacramento late today. He will declare again that identification of Billings and Mooney as the dynamiters of a Preparedness day parade was false. The other repudiation witness, Estelle Smith, will not testify at the Mooney hearing as she was not a witness at his trial. Miss Smith, however, furnished an alibi for both prisoners during her appearance before the court with the result that Frank P. Walsh, attorney for Mooney, announced he would seek an entire new trial for his client. Both in Same Place “Where Billings was, there was Mooney,” Walsh declared in commenting on the Smith woman’s story that she saw Billings coming from the roof of a building almost a mile away from the bombing scene at about the same time the explosion occurredThe two repudiation witnesses added little to the case, in the opinion of the court, and created greater confusion in the fight of the pair for freedom from the prisons where they have spent almost fourteen years. The Sacramento session, which will be attended by the Governor and members of his pardon advisory board, will be a brief one, the plan being <to conclude tonight. Monday the supreme court will resume its deliberations. As aids to their decision or the freedom of Billings, justices of the state supreme court have their choice between utterly irreconcilable stories of two self-announced perjurers. These are MacDonald, a shrunken shell of a man, whose testimony only served to throw the court into confusion, and Miss Smith, whose story hopelessly is at odds with MacDonald’s. Lied on Identities Both, “in the interests of justice and fair play,” made affidavits to the effect that they had lied in their identification of Billings and Tom Mooney as men they saw near the scene of the 1916 Preparedness day bombing whicji claimed ten lives. Within the last three, days, both again have turned about, MacDonald into every avenue that opened before an obviously errant conscience, the Smith woman back to the story that she actually saw Billings under suspicious circumstances on the day of his supposed crime. But his crime, she now declares, was not the bomb explosion, but the relatively harmless act of spraying a corrosive acid oh parked automobiles. Not only was she convinced such had been Billings’ accusation on that afternoon, she said today, but Billings himself had admitted as much to her in a hitherto unpublished interview after his conviction. Collected From Union He perpetrated the sabotage, she §aid, for'ss a day and $1 for each car sent to garages for repairs through his efforts. He kept a list of license numbers of all cars “treated” by him, and collected from a labor union, she said he told her. Despite the fact that the woman’s story seemed anew and sturdy alibi for Billings, his attorney, Edwin V. McKenzie, declared angrily that it was not true, and asked the court if he might bring Billings down from Folsom prison to give her tale the lie. From the attitude of the justices, it appeared that McKenzie’s request would be granted. CALLES TO WED TODAY Ex-Mexican President Will Be Married to Beauty.

POLITICS ENTERS BUCKLEYPROBE Active Worker for Mayor Bowles Is Sought. Bu United Press DETROIT, Aug. 2.—lnvestigation into the gang slaying eleven days ago of Gerald E. Buckley, radio announcer and public commentator, today swung around to politics as police admitted they were seeking Egbert M. Hoffman, an active worker for Mayor Charles Bowles. The hunt for Hoffman, whom Mayor Bowles says is a young man of means, started when detectives found a bank book, issued to him, which showed daily deposits of $2,000 or more over a period of several weeks just prior to the Buckley murder. The bank book was found in the apartment of Miss Margy Mansell, cabaret and radio singer, arrested Friday. Miss Mansell, friend of Buckley and sweetheart of Pete Licavoli, gangster, still is held for investigation, while police seek to trace the woman who telephoned Buckley shortly before he was murdered. Licavoli has been sought since the murder, but i>olice have been unable to locate his hideout. A woman also is sought in Pittsburgh, and police admit they have two or three other women under surveillance here. Hoffman, the newest object of a police hunt in the killing, had been more or less active around police headquarters since Bowles’ election, working as a “private aid” interested in cleaning up narcotic violations. Bowles’ statement that he was employed by a large estate here, and that rent collections would account for the heavy daily bank deposits, jyas denied by C. A. Pfeffer, manager of the estate, who said Hoffmann was not in the estate’s employ.

MURDER MARKS RETURN OF AL CAPONE TO CHICAGO; VICTIM BELIEVED HIS FOE Man Shot Down Among Dancers at Wisconsin Resort Hotel Tentatively Identified , as Rival Beer Leader GUNMEN BREAK IN ON GAY SCENE Beer Lord at Same Moment Was Entertaining 100 in Cicero in Honor of His Arrival From Florida Bu Science Service CHICAGO, Aug. 2.—Murder marked Al (Scarface) Capone’s return to his old haunts today. While the gang leader was resting in Cicero after celebrating his return with a party for 100 guests, word came from Delafield, Wis., that the victim of a gang attack there in the night had been identified tentatively as Jack Zuta, one of Capone’s most militant enemies. As business manager of the Moran-Aiello gang and once suspected of the murder of Alfred J. Lingle, Chicago Tribune police reporter, who was Capone’s friend, Zuta narrowly escaped assassination in the Chicago loop a month ago. Now if the tentative identification in the Wisconsin summer resort turns out to be positive it will prove, according to the police, that the Capons always get their man. The Wisconsin murder was executed with the same confident skill that have marked numerous other crimes which the police have credited to Capone gunmen.

After the body was picked up the inevitable “bootleggers list” was found in one pocket and the usual large roll of bills in the other. Waukesha county authorities said the bills amounted to $1,900. The scene of the shooting was the Lake View hotel at Delafield,

twenty-five miles west of Milwaukee. Gaiety was reaching its crest near midnight at the hotel. The player-piano was playing z fox trot and approximately twenty couples were sliding about the dance floor. Outside other couples were frolicking on the beach or a small lake. Push Aside Girl Partner At the same time Scarf ace Al was entertaining 100 guests at the Hotel Western in Cicero, a west side Chicago suburb. He was celebrating his return from Miami, where the climate, not to mention the authorities, "got too hot for me.” But the police theory that the Wisconsin killing was a "Capone job" may be wrong. Meanwhile let C. A. Schmidt of Wauwatosa, Wis., an eye-witness to the Wisconsin shooting, tell what he saw at the Lake View hotel in Delafield. “While I was standing at the door of the dance hall seven or eight men walked in quietly. Two stopped near the door and leaned against the wall. No one paid any special attention and they just stood there without showing much interest in the dancing. “I think there were five men who came on into the hall where a number of couples were dancing. They waited until the music stopped. 'Then they closed in on their victime and pushed aside the girl he had been dancing with. That was when I noticed their guns for the first time. They Had a short machine gun, several sawed-off shot guns and one or two automatic pistols. Shot Without Warning "Without any apparent effort they edged their man over into a corner where he was out of the way of the others. Then without warning, they him him have it. There was a roar that shook the hall like thunder. Then everything was quiet. The room filled with smoke. "The man they had shot just crumpled up on the floor without saying anything at all. “He couldn’t have had more than a second’s warning. "As the man fell, two of the gangsters pointed their guns up and fired into the ceiling. I took it as a signal that no one had better interfere. “Keeping their backs together, they eased over by the door, keeping their guns pointed at the dancers. Outside the building they disappeared around a comer. In no Special Hurry A minute later I heard their cars speeding up. They seemed deliberdidn’t hear them say a word durate and in no special hurry. I ing the whole performance. "I was near the door and saw the cars. Both were big cars. Someone said they had Illinois licenses. “For a moment after they left all was silent. Then a woman screamed and fainted. "Two of the men dancers went over and touched the body with their shoes. “No one saw the girl who had been dancing with the victim. She seemed to have slipped away unnoticed. "Pretty soon the officers came.” The victim had registered as J. H. Goodman of Aurora, 111., but after talking on the telephone with the Chicago detective bureau, the Wisdonsin authorities were convinced that the victim was Jark Zuta. “Goodman” had been flitting about the Wisconsin resort region for more than a week, changing hotels and companions frequently. Sought Since June 1 Meanwhile, in Chicago, police had been searching for Zuta. He had not been seen here since June 1. when he escaped in a fussilade o* bullets in brillianty ighted State street. He had been arrested as a suspect in the Lingle case and after his release, was being escorted home by Police Lieutenant George Baker, when rival gangsters held up the car near the postoflSce and opened fire. Zuta fled while Barker shot it out with the assailants. A street car conductor was slain by one of thp stray bullets from the battle.
