BETTING LAWS TO GO BEFORE CITY COUNCIL Ordinances Will Be Studied at Meeting Tonight: Taxi Cab Fight Is Likely. Further steps of city officials in crush crime in Indianapolis were expected to be taken by the city council tonight with the introduction of two proposed ordinances aiming at betting on baseball games and horse races. The council also was to consider the proposed ordinance which would cave the safety board complete regulation of taxicabs. The first of the crime ordinances makes illegal possession of any paraphernalia in connection with placing bets on horses or ball games. The other provides punishment for persons sending or receiving information on wagers by phone or telegraph from any point in Indiana to Indianapolis. The first step has resulted from the failure of the police to obtain convictions on baseball pools and horse race betting charges. Courts have demanded proof that money was won or lost in the contests and that the tickets bought by customers were indicative of money placed as a wager. Opposition to the taxi ordinance is expected from officials of the United Cab Company. This company, now operating at a low rate, charges heads of the remaining cab companies in Indianapolis have banded together to establish a minimum rate of 50 cents, a boost over the present United company fares. City boosters of the ordinance say the law, if enacted, would bring more rigorous inspection of cabs in Indianapolis and aid in reduction of traffic accidents. Council was to act on appointment of an adidtional police sergeant; naming of a municipal airport assistant superintendent, and several requests for funds in various city departments.

‘GIVE us beer; DEMANDS LABOR AT CONVENTION A. F. of L. Reaffirms Former Stand on Necessity of 2.75 Brew. BY FRANK MURPHY United Press Staff Correspondent BOSTON. Oct. 6.—The powerful executive council of the American Federation of Labor again today demanded beer of 2.75 per cent alcoholic content. The report, handed in at the opening session of the federation's annual convention, reaffirmed a stand taken seven ye&rs ago by labor. The report said: “The developments of the last year, as shown in the evil social conditions which had followed failure of the enforcement of the Volstead act, have confirmed the position heretofore taken by the American Federation of Labor in favor of the modification of this act so as to provide for the manu-
- ■ facture, sale and distribution of beer containing 2.75 per cent alcohol by weight.” With reference to unemployment, the report said that “to provide aid in finding employment” is labor’s foremost duty. It proposed an unemployment program which would embrace reduction in hours of work, stabilization of industry, efficient management in production and in sales policies, a nation-wide system of employment exchanges, keeping of | adequate records, use of public works to meet cyclical unemployi ment, vocational guidance and retraining, special study of technological unemployment, study of relief proposals and education for life. The plank concerning reduction in hours of work in the unemployment program urged by the executive council stated that “instead of laying off employes as productivity increases, the work day should be reduced, the work week shortened, and provisions for annual vacations with pay should reduce the work year.” President Hoover is to address the convention at 3 p. m. Truck Line Permit Asked Petition for operation of a freight truck line between Ft. Wayne and Richmond was filed with the public service commission today by Eugene Fox, Portland.
LAME DUCKS TO HOLD POWER IN NEXTMESS Ten of Senate Already Are in Class; Six to Retire, Four Defeated. By Scrippt-flotcard Sewspaper Alliance WASHINGTON. Oct. 6.—Whatever happens in the November elections it is apparent already the next session of congress will be controlled by lame ducks to an extent seldom if ever witnessed here before. ' And while there is little chance they will enact the Norris measure, long pending, to abolish lame duck sessions of congress, there is a possibility that the winter’s exhibition of lame-duck legislating will furnish the necessary impetus for passage of that measure by the next congress. Ten of the ninety-six members of the senate already are in the lame duck class, six of them having decided voluntarily to retire from political life, and four of them hav-

ing been defeated, in state primaries. The fate of at least nind others Is extremely doubtful. Os the ten already scheduled for retirement, three are committed chairmen and will thus be able tot play an important part in the winter’s legislation. They are Phipps* Gould and Deneen; all Republicans, Baird, Gillett and Goff, also Republicans, are serving their last terms. Simmons, defeated in the South Carolina Democratic primaries, 19 ranking minority member of the senate finance committee. Other Democrats preparing to leave are Blease, Brock and Ransdell. Three of the most prominent figures in the house will serve this winter as lame ducks. Louis ci;amton of Michigan has been in tha house for sixteen years and for much of that time has been in charge of appropriations for tha interior department. In that position he has had much to do with dictating policies for reclamation work, Indian administration, national parks, and other activities of the department. S. Wallace Dempsey of New York has been in the house almost as long, and is- chairman of the important! rivers and harbors committee. John C. Box of Texas for years has led, the fight for restriction of Mexican immigration. These three leaders can be counted on to accomplish all possible in behalf of their favorite projects before leaving office.
