COUNTY HEADS 1 TO THROW OUT " PAY CUT PLAN Mann's Highway Proposal Gets Cold Shoulder v From Commission. Objecting to any wage slashing on county highways, county commissioners today announced they will not approve the annual ways and means report of Charles W. Mann, county highway superintendent. Commissioners described Mann's proposal for cutting wages of all county highway workers 10 per cent, and his budget reductions as “much publicized political strategy.” "It's a shame to even think of cutting those workers’ wages when you look at the pay roll report and see what they have been receiving,” George Snider, Republican commissioner, asserted. This pay roll report disclosed that under the present wage schedule. 45 cents an hour, truck drivers last month received less than SIOO each. On the same basis, counting losses on account of rain, road laborers, at 30 cents an hour, did heavy work on highways for about S6O a month. Commissioners have power to alter any recommendations of the highway superintendent. They probably will keep county road wages on par with those in the works and park boards of the city. “I do not believe in discriminating against the rural worker, especially when many of them are in desperate need of cash,” Commissioner Dow W. Vorhies, Democrate, declared. The park board is paying truck drivers, 45 cents an hour: tractor operators, 50 cents, and laborers 45 cents. Mann’s proposal would lower county highway wages to the level of the state highway department. Mann has defended his budget reductions by stating that teachers and employes in other pursuits are receiving cuts from 10 to 20 per cent, declaring the county should keep within the prevailing wage scale. Mann’s total wage slashing pro-

FERRACANE TO GO TO FEDERAL PRISON

M&mmm

Tony Ferracane posal would save the county only $3,476 next year, one commissioner pointed out. Although he is aiming to cut pay of truck and tractor drivers from 45 to 40 cents, his budget calls for an increase of $3,000 for pay these men. Mann also is asking a larger appropriation for assistant highway superintendents. Other appropriations requested for wages are lower than last year.

Dismisses Appeal; Starts Leavenworth Journey This Afternoon. Tony Ferracane, dapper member of Indianapolis’ bootleg clan, is going to the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth this afternoon—this time to serve a year-old sentence of five years. Dismissing his appeal that has been pending since Federal Judge Will H. Sparks imposed the sentence, Ferracane will start service of the term Wednesday afternoon. Since June 6 he has been in the county jail, charged with transporting fifteen cases of beer. This called for a $10,030 bond that he could rot give, already having supplied the government with a similar amount pending appeal of the other case. The conviction which resulted in the five-year term followed police and federal agents’ ambush on ms north side mansion in 1930. Several cases of whisky were confiscated from his car. Miss Hazel Bolin, who was sentenced a year after she was caught with him, was released recently, to be rearrested on a blind tiger charge last week.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

'I DON'T CARE,' SHRUGS FALL BEHIND BARS Former Cabinet Member Is Sent to Hospital in Penitentiary. By United Press SANTA FE, N. M., July 21.—Albert B. Fall, former secretary of interior, was a convict today in the New Mexico state penitentiary. Fall was received Monday night as a federal prisoner to serve a year and a day for accepting a SIOO,OOO bribe in the Teapot Dome oil scandals. He was sent directly to a room in the prison hospital. “I’m sorry for my family, but I don’t give a dam about myself," he said. The once mighty politician faced today the ignominious ceremony of being “mugged,” as his 542 fellow’ convicts term it, and measured in the prison Bertillon department. His

Fiske, to determine whether he will remain in the spacious hospital quarters, to which he was sent when he arrived in an ambulance from his ranch at Three Rivers, N. M. Warden Ed Swope said he would treat the former cabinet member in accordance with instructions from Sanford Bates, federal superintendent of prisons, which directed him to take into consideration Fall’s age and condition of health, but to see he gets no special privileges or favors. At Lamy, N. M., where the ambulance was stopped Monday night to permit Fall his last meal outside the penitentiary, a repast of coffee and toast was interrupted by the arrival of Swope, David Jackson, a prison guard, and Joseph Tondre, United States marshal. “Hello, Mr. Fall.” said Tondre, walking to the ambulance with hand extended. “Hello, Mr. Tondre," answered Fall. “I am glad to see you.” Tondre did not read the commitment papers. “He knows well enough what we want,” the marshal explained.

SOVIET GIVES GROUND AS 5 NATIONS UNITE U. S. Watches Interestedly as Small Countries Threaten Russia. By United Press WASHINGTON, July 21.—Government officials are watching with interest a series of negotiations abroad in which five small nations are seeking to meet Soviet Russia's export competition by using Russia’s own sales methods. Finland, Sweden, Poland, Latvia and Esthonia have banded in an effort to break Russia’s hold on the English lumber market and have forced negotiations yrith Russia by threats to undersell her there. Finland and Sweden already have sold some lumber below the Russian price in this move to “out-Russia Russia,” according to reports here.

Russia has been throwing her goods on the markets of the world at low prices in an effort to pay the way of her five-year industrial plan. Apparently due to the trade threat against her, Russia has entered negotiations with the five small nations, the purpose of which is to divide up the English market among them. The chief interest here lies, it appears, in whether such a plan might be adopted by other nations
