PROGRESS SEEN IN STATE'S JOB RELIEF DRIVE Encouraging Report Given Cabinet Officer by Special Agent. BY LAWRENCE SULLIVAN Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Dec. s.—An encouraging report covering the activities of the emergency state-wide advisory committee for relief of un- } employment in Indiana was pre'ented to Secretary of Commerce Robert P. Lamont today by Fred C. Croxton, special field agent for the President’s special relief organization Croxton Just has returned from a survey of the ten states under his jurisdiction, extending from the Atlantic seaboard to lowa. "In many sections,” ha said, in : summarizing his trip, "conditions I are quite beyond the belief of those i who have not come in actual con- i tact with the various local problems. j Thousands who never before have | felt the pinch are feeling it this ! winter.” Local Organizations Working The Indiana committee has set up local organizations in everyj county and in seventeen larger j cities. The state executive com- ! mittee, headed by Elmer W. Stout i of Indianapolis is in constant con- ; tact with the county chairmen. "In the local campaigns, the : major effort is being centered upon ' plans to create extra jobs during ! the next six months, to distribute j all available work about evenly { among the entire working commu- ; nity, and so to correlate charity enterprises that help may be administered to those in want, with a minimum of overhead. "The consensus,” Croxton con- j tinued, “is to the effect that too j much publicity about unemploy- ; ment has a depressing effect and, therefore, a survey of conditions ' within each community should be conducted diplomatically and without publicity.” Married Men Preferred Many Institutions are retaining a larger force of employes than is absolutely necessary and apportioning work on some equitable basis among all. New work is awarded on a basis of selectivity, preference being shown the married men.” J. H Hewitt, secretary of the Govern’s state advisory committee, reported to Croxton last week that he soon would be ready to submit a report on the committee’s work to date Hewitt maintains committee headquarters in the statehouse at Indianapolis. Among members of the state executive committee are Charles P. ; Grafton, president of the Indiana ! Manufacturers’ Association. H. S. i Vance, vice-president of the Stude- j baker Corporation; J. E. Frederick, | president of the Indiana State I Chamber of Comerce, and Adolph Fritz, secretary of the Indiana Federation of Labor. 500 MILLIONS ASKED FOR RIVERS, HARBORS Shipstead Would Complete River <nd Harbor Projects Within 5 Years Bu Scrippg-Howard Xeirepaver Alliance WASHINGTON, Dec. s.—The proposal for a government $500,000,000 bond issue for completing authorized river and harbor projects within five years just has been placed before congress by Senator Shipstead, Farmer-Laborite, of Minnesota,.

RECEIVER FEES BILL PREPARE! Symons Measure Designed to Limit Charges. A bill to make the state banking department receiver for all defunct banks has been prepared by Luther E. Symons, state banking commissioner, and will be introduced in the 1931 legislature by State Senator Winfield Miller (Rep., Indianapolis), Symons announced today. The measure Is designed to curb exorbitant receiver fees. Under its provisions the receiver would be a deputy banking commissioner, and while being paid out of the assets of the bank, as is the present practice, he would be put on regular salary set by the state budget committee. One deputy might act for several banks, Symons said, and the salary be prorated. Another bill prepared by Symons provides that the capital and surplus of every bank must equal 10 per cent of the deposit liabilities up to $1,000,000 and 5 per cent over that amount. A third bill will provide that no loan exceeding 20 per cent of the capital stock and surplus can be made by banks. Symons said ANGOLA MAN HEADS IMPLEMENT DEALERS Cary E.

ROAD BUILDERS ASK STATE TQ SET FAIR WAGE Minimum Standard of Pay Sought in Resolution at Convention. A resolution urging establishment of a minimum wage for all public work, to prevent unjust wage cuts as exposed by The Times on state highway work this summer, was adopted at the closing session of the Indiana Highway Constructors. Inc., convention, at the Claypool Thursday afternoon. The three-day meeting terminated with a dinner at the Columbia club Thursday night, at which Governor Harry G. Leslie spoke F. A. Gast was elected president, to succeed Fred Cunningham and Edgar Traylor of Evansville vicepresident. Edward F. Smith was reelected secretary and W. M. Holland as Executive secretary. The minimum wage resolution sets out that the contractors "and the political subdivisions of the state” adopt a minimum standard of wage for common labor, "thus making it possible for the contractors engaged in public work in the state of Indiana to accept and discharge their obligation to society in this regard on a basis fair to themselves, fair to labor and fair to the public.” Like a similar resolution adopted by the state highway department, the contractors resolution does not say what a minimum wage is however.
