RAILROADS OF NATION UNITE TO END SLUMP: . ( More Revenue, Pay Boosts Hinge on Readjustment of Freight Rates. STAKE FATE ON PLAN Cite 1921 Recovery to Back Their Plea; Fear Chaos if Rejected. BY FREDERICK C. OTTOMAN United Pres* Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, May 9.—America’s 1 railroads started today on a concrete attempt to do their part in bringing prosperity back to the nation. If the attempt fails, the country’s most important railway executives predicted utter chaos in the transportation industry, with widespread wage cuts and other drastic operation economies affecting millions of workers. The plan is contained in a resolution adopted by the Association of Railway Executives’ advisory committee, composed of almost every! important rail leader in the United States. After deliberating for hours in a closed meeting at the Dlackstone hotel here, the transportation chieftains recommended that, the various railroad rate agencies examine the existing freight tariff structures with a view to leveling “the inequalities” now prevalent. $400,000,000 Income Boost The more optimistic of the committee members hoped such an equalization would result in an average increase of about 10 per cent. Such rate advance would boost railroad income by about $400,000,000 a year, of which some $120,000,000 would got to the wage earners, they said. “It would give a very potent pifsh to prosperity, similar to that of th 4 1921 rate increase,” said one of the leaders. The United Press learned that the : railroads hope thereby to regain j some of their lost revenue, and, as: they did in 1921, when the country : also was in a siege of depression,, lead the way to general financial well being. { The rate increases granted the railroads at that time aided in the start of a wave of buying which culminated in perhaps the greatest period of prosperity the world ever has known. Helped End Depression In the height of the 1920 depres- | sion, the railroads were granted a 40 per cent blanket freight rate in- j crease. Although the rates were stepped up actually only about 25 j per cent, the resultant spending of | millions of dollars for higher wages, more employes and better equipment was credited In many quarters with brining the nation out of its war-end doldrums Then, as it was discussed by the twenty-four railroad heads attending the Chicago meeting, a “whittling” process set in, whereby one freight rate and then another was reduced, until some 5,000 tariffs were lowered and today’s rates approximately those in force In 1920. The present lowered rates and the general depression thus are affecting seriously the railroads’ credit, said the executives, who agreed that their problem, put simply, consists of increasing their income or decreasing their outgo. Cut to the Limit The roads already have laid off all possible men. reduced dividends, and curtailed purchases of equipment. If the outgo is to be reduced further, the conferees decided they must cut wages drastically. With approximately 20 per cent of all workers in the country dependent directly or indirectly on the j railroads, a general salary cut would mean another segment added to the | vicious depression circle. The only other solution, continued the transportation chieftains, is the raising oi income, in the hope that 1 railroad earnings may increase from the 3 1 i per cent on valuation reported in 1930 to something approximating the 5% per cent termed fair by law. The railroad rate bodies, acting upon the resolution, are expected to complete their report in from three weeks to a month. The executives’ association then will meet again to receive the report, and the recommendations Mill be turned over to the interstate commerce committee for action. bankrupt! no assets Winchester Dairy Director Lists Not One Cent of Assets.

POLICE SMASH REMNANTS OF BURKE’S GANG Scores of Officers Join in Swoop on Kidnaping Ring’s Lair UNDER HEAVY GUARD Six Men in Springfield (III.) Jail Surrounded by Machine Guns. By United Press SPRINGFIELD, 111., May 9.—A desperate drive by Illinois police to , stamp out kidnaping gangs which have terrorized the midwest for months centered today at the Springfield jail, as more than 100 I officers stood guard over six rnen captures in a spectacular raid at East St. Louis. The six men, charged with robbing many banks, and suspected of kidnaping at least six wealthy bankers and gamblers for ransom, were accompanied into Springfield just before midnight by fifty state police, a dozen officers from St. Clair county, and a squad of picked men from the Chicago department. The men were handcuffed together. Behind and in front of them rode officers with machine guns and ' shotguns ready. It had been feared an attempt would be made by gangsters to ambush the caravan. After : their arrival, the jail here was turned into a fortress, with machine guns mounted all about and scores of officers standing guard. Last of Burke’s Gang It was announced the warlike parade would move on today to Sterling, 111., to be joined there by Governor Louts L. Emmerson and Walter Moody, chief of the state highway police. It was planned then to take the men, said to be the “last of Fred Burke’s gang,” into Chicago, j Ten men were taken in the raid ! late Friday on a flat on Broadway, principal business street in East St. Louis. Three were released immediately and another. Dewey Sullivan. was turned over to city police. The men held by the state were William McQuillion, Jack Britt, Howard Lee, Ed Hawks, Tommy Hayes and Thomas Connor. Raid Lands Gangsters Acting under orders from Governor Emerson that “the kidnapers must be stamped out,” state police surrounded the block in which the men were gathered, apparently for some sort of conference. The block was cleared of all pedestrians , and automobiles and roped off. A hotel entrance across the street ; was blocked. Machine guns were , mounted at four street corners and j on several roofs. Then the raiders swooped on the flat and made the wholesale, captures without firing a short. Outside the “danger” line, a block away on either side, thousands of persons watched, awed at the unprecedented array of armed officialj dom. Hayes Believed Leader Police said Tommy Hayes was a leader of the band They said he formerly belonged to the gang of Fred Burke, recently sentenced ift Michigan to life imprisonment for killing a policeman. Hayes, they said, had organized I former members of the Burke gang I and the Shelton gang of southern Illinois into one desperate band to spread terror throughout several states by holdups and abductions. Among the crimes which the men were suspected of were the kidnapj ings of Dr. Isaac Kelley Jr. of St. ; Louis. Fred Blumer of Monroe, Wis., and James Hackett of Chicago, and the killing of Mrs. Cora Garrison during an attempt to kidnap her husband, a wealthy Peoria (111.) j gambler. Britt and Connor once were arrested and tentatively identified as | the slayers of Mrs. Garrison.

POOLROOMS TO BE TARGET OF GAMING SMASH Licenses Will Be Revoked for Law Violations, Police Say. 1 Drive to halt gambling and other law violations in licensed poolrooms by revoking licenses of operators ! was begun today by the police de- | partment and William L. Elder, city ; controller. In a letter to Chief Jerry Kinney, Elder set out That it was necessary | for his office to watch poolroom law violations, and asked that the department turn over to him immediately locations where arrests are made and violations revealed. The action was an aftermath of the recent rulnig of Municipal Judge Clifton R. Cameron, when he acquitted eight men, including a poolroom operator on gaming charges because they were playing domino poker “just for fun.” License to Be Revoked Despite the acquittal, Captain Otto Ray, license inspector, said the license of Hubert Stokes, operator of the place at 2806 East Washington street, will be revoked. In ruling in the Stokes case, which Cameron had continued three times, the judge stated that the sworn statements of the men raised a doubt in his mind as to strength of the police charges. In this case, Ray testified, he and a police officer had watched the game for half an hour and saw money change hands. Eider Asks Information Elder’s letter to Kinney: “In keeping track of our licenses of poolrooms, it is very necessary that we know in our office of any viclaticns or arrests that take place in poolrooms licensed by this office. “Will you kindly, therefore, have the city controller’s office notified of any arrests that are made in poolrooms from time to time, as this will enable us to check up and keep up to date on the situation.” DELAY ESTATE FIGHT t * Brooks’ Will Case to Be Resumed Monday.

WAR DEBTS UP BEFORE C. OF C. Relief From Depression to Be Discussed. BY THOMAS L. STOKES, United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, May 9.—The International Chamber of Commerce prepared to make a significant ges- | ture at its closing session today by suggesting that reduction of war debts, tariffs and the cost of armies and navies may offer relief from the world depression. While the resolution to be adopted today is general, any action, along this line by the assembled business representatives of thirtysix nations, in the capital of the United States, will be considered important to the world. In its tentative draft, subject to committee revision today, the resolution hints that if the commodity there might be some future reassessment of the part played by war debts. It also suggests co-operation of nations to level trade barriers more to comport with international economic needs, and emphasizes, as did President Hoover in his opening convention speech, that armament cost is a heavy burden on a depressed world.

COUNTY AFTER SIOO,OOO BACK COURT COSTS Vigorous Effort to Collect From Delinquents to Be Launched. Provision for enforcing colhction of approximately SIOO,OO in delinquent court costs, some dating back twenty-five years, and due the county, is to be sought from the county council, Glenn B. Ralston, county clerk, announced today. Application for an additional office clerk to accomplish the collections was filed with County Auditor Harry Dunn by Ralston for presentation at the next county council meeting, May 20. “Owing to increased pressure of court duties each year, unpaid costs are mounting in volume, as personnel of the clerk’s office has not been increased proportionately,” the application to Dunn stated. May Reach $100,009 This application fixed amount of outstanding costs at approximately $50,000, but a preliminary survey of court records by Charles R. Ettinger, chief deputy county clerk, has revealed delinquent costs may total SIOO,OOO. 6 Collection of the costs would be impossible without an extra clerk, it is said. , The clerk’s office has been with 301 more cases filed during the swamped with cases this spring, first three months of 1931 than for the same period in 1930, or an increase of 12 per cent. Expense Justified “Salary of the extra clerk, which probably would be SIOO, plus an additional appropriation of SSOO for postage, printing and supplies, would be justified amply, if the county were able to collect only a small part of the costs,” Ralston contends. One councilman, Walter C. Boetcher, agreed in this opinion. “I am favoring collection of back revenues if the amount collected will exceed the expense of collection. “It appears this plan to collect back costs is good business judgment, and I think the matter should be attended to.” Boetcher declared.

COURT BAN TO BE SOUGHT ON REDISTRICTING Woodruff Place and Beech Grove Will Battle for Vote Rights. WAIT BOARD'S RULING Injunction Will Be Asked to Prevent Publishing of 1931 Acts. BY BEN STERN Suit asking federal court here to enjoin Frank Mayr Jr., secretary ol state, from publishing or promulgating the congressional reapportionment act passed by the 1931 general assembly will be filed early next week by attorneys for Woodruff Place and Beech Grove, both dec.ared today. The petition wii not be filed until the ruling of the state election board is received as to whether the two incorporated towns are located in the Eleventh or Twelfth district. W. W. Spencer, election commissioner .indicated today the ruling will be that the legislature “intended to place both communities in the Eleventh district,” and it was only bscaus eof haste in writing the bill in the closing hours cf the session that the proper phraseology was not embodied. Not Included in Either The petition asking for an injunction will declare that both communities. by the phraesology of the bill, can not be included in the Eleventh district, and that because they are not “contiguous” nor “compact” with the Twelfth district, can not be a part of that congressional division. Howard Meyer, attorney for Woodruff Place, and L. E. Marine, Beech Grcve attorney, point out that the question is one for the federal court, inasmuch as the bill disenfranchises citizens of both incorporated towns in congressional elections only. “You can’t operate a state on the ‘intent’ of the. legislature,” declared Meyer in commenting on the possible opinion of the election commissioners. County Ruling Void ‘Tlie point at issue is whether the people of these two towns are to vote for their representative in the Eleventh or the Twelfth district. “The fact that the county commissioners have fixed Woodruff Place as the Twenty-ninth precinct of the Ninth ward does not supersede a legislative enactment and is not of importance in this suit.” “Validity of any congressional election might be challenged because of the manner in which the reapportionment act is written.” Marine contended. “A candidate who lost Woodruff Place or Beech Grove by a large vote might file a suit, to declare the election improper. Injunction Would Bar Candidate “Injunction suits might be instituted to keep any candidate residing in either of these communities from filing in the primary or general election, because his home is not in either district,” Marine declared. “The best thing is to settle ths matter at once,” the attorneys concurred in saying. Section 13 of the reapportionment act provides that the "unincorporated lands lying east and south of the First, Ninth and Tenth wards of the city of Indianapolis in Marion ccunty” should be in the Eleventh district. Both Woodruff Place and Beech Grove are incorporated. Section 14 declares all Marion county except that specified shall be in the Twelfth district. This ordinarily would put the communities in that section, except that the federal cede provides that the districts are composed cf “contiguous and compact” territory, and both communities are separated from the Twelfth district by several miles of Eleventh district territory, YALE FOUNDS SCHOOL FOR HUMAN WELFARE 55,000,000 Structure Is Dedicated to Man’s Well Being.
