LABOR BLASTS MOVE TO CUT PUBLjC WAGES ‘Selfishness’ Brand Is Put on Board of Trade Demands. VIEWED POLITICAL TRICK County Workers Tremble at Pledge of $200,000 Slash in Budget. Labor leaders who characterized the Indianapolis Board of Trade’s demand for reduction of public employes’ wages as "selfish” and "none of their business,” today joined forces with 8,000 wage earners, employes of city, school and county governments in opposition to the demand. Revealing almost universal wage slashing by industry and private business in Marion county, the Board of Trade in letters to governmental officials Monday proposed that public employes be reduced to smilar pay levels. First action of labor groups groups against the Board of Trade’s recommendation as the "cure-all” for high taxes was taken Monday night by the Central Labor Union. This group went on record in condemnation of the proposal. Union Heads Join Today heads of international labor organizations had joined the battle. Leaders in labor’s anti-wage reduction fight included Adolph Fritz, secretary of the Indiana State Federation of Labor; George H. Lakey, first vice-president of the International Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners; S. E. Polen, secretary-treasurer of the Brotherhood of Locomtive Engineers, Division 11; W. R. Trotter, statistician of the International Typographical Union, and T. L. Hughes, secretary of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. Furore was created among county employes today after the county councilmen indicated a cut in wages would be part of their move to slice $200,000 from the 1932 county budget. Seen Political Move Majority of the county workers interpreted the proposal of the Board of Trade as instigated by politicians of the former Republican regime, who are trying to “get even.” Labor leaders, though, see the proposal as a move on the part of Board of Trade members to cut pay of employes in their own businesses, and point out “an alibi to their w’orkers by showing them how much wage reduction was ‘accepted’ by public employes." City and school employes, relying on statements of heads of their departments, that cut would not be approved, have a feeling of security that is not shared by county workers. Nearly 800 persons on the county pay roll must wait until Sept. 8, when the council is to act officially on the budget, before they will know what the wage reductions will total. Sumner Against Cut The situation already has broken political alignments among county commissioners and officials, with Sheriff Charles (Buck) Sumner asserting he will fight councilmen in an effort to save the present wage scale for his deputies. Statements of the labor leaders: Hughes—l can't tell you what I’d like to say about the situation, but it would be best for all members of the Board of Trade to mind their own business. Trotter—This organization is opposed to reduction of wages at this time. Selfishness, and selfishness only, is the motive behind the proposal of the Board of Trade. I think that public employes’ salaries already are very low. Should Be Last Fritz—The federation takes the stand that the last group ever to ask for a cut in wages should be the Board of Trade, members of which sit in their offices watching a blackboard— gambling all day long. I don't know w’hat can be accomplished by cutting wages and crippling the purchasing power. Lakey—The International Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners is opposed unalterably to any reduction in wages. We feel the best way to improve conditions is to maintain wages and get the people back to work. They don’t want charity. They want work. Polen—l feel that to reduce wages of the higher public employes and officials would be commendable. I don't think the regular employe with the smaller pay is being overpaid. He should not be reduced. To Consider Demand Polen said the wage cutting issue will be presented to members of the engineer’s union tonight, and this afternoon a special committee of the Central Labor Union was to consider the demand of the Board of Trade. Agitation to follow the reduction program for the county has been created by John E. Shearer, Republican, who will retire as county commissioner at the end of 1931, it was claimed. “What stenographers in business offices are getting $2,400 a year?” he demanded. “All the court bailiffs do is say ’Hear ye, hear ye’ and they get an average of SSO a week. Salaries should be readjusted to the level of those paid in other firms of the city.”

Spend Now, Urges Bank, but Save 6 Months' Pay By United Press NEW YORK, Aug. 25—Here's a big New York bank that advises its depositors to withdraw money from their savings and thrift accounts and spend it —now, when the purchasing power of the dollar is 16 per cent above what it was in 1928! The bank, the Emigrant Industrial Savings bank, with 249,000 depositors, suggests that its clients' leave on deposit a sufficient "reserve against emergenciese—at least six months’ salary,” and with the surplus “make careful purchase of things you want for permanent use while prices remain low.” "Wise spending at the right time is as much a part of good thrift as saving all you can when prices are going up,” the bank says. Judicious spending will set the wheels of industry turning more rapidly and restore employment to thousands now out of work. In our opinion the millions of savings and thrift depositors in this country have it in their power to change the whole aspect of industrial and trade conditions.

THOUSANDS AT MEETING CRY SMASHGANGS’ New York Launches Drive to Break Underworld Grip on City. NOTABLES STIR CROWD Mothers of Slain Babies Inspire Throng That Demands Action. By United Press NEW YORK, Aug. 25.—Babykilling gangsters, gunmen, and racketeers were rounded up today in a police drive that got under way last night as frenzied thousands, inspired by two women on a Madison Square garden platform with mass meeting speakers, clamored for action. The two women were Mrs. John Lopez, mother of Gloria, 4-year-old girl killed in the wanton outbreak last Friday, and Mrs. John Veneghallo, mother of Michael, 5-year-old boy killed by gangsters in Little Italy two weeks ago. The police drive, most extensive in the history of New York City, was ordered by Police Commissioner Edward P. Mulrooney, who sat on that platform and heard his department ar,d his superiors charged with responsibility for the insurrection of criminals against the law. Notables on Platform Speakers, who included a former United States secretary rs state, Bainbridge Colby; United States Senator Robert F. Wigner; a marine officer decorated by congress General Smedley D. Butler, and Mulrooney himself, variously charged the crime outbreak to prohibition, political influence, and the voters themselves. The 20,000 voters massed in the Garden after the speaking, adopted a resolution calling upon Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt to remove from office Mayor James J. Walker, or any New York mayor who was lax in his obligation to enforce the laws. Earlier in the day, the board of estimate had approved, without a dissenting vote, an appropriation of $133,000 for radio eqi’.ipment, armored motorcycles and other equipment needed by police in their campaign against cx-ime. Garden Is Packed And two policemen, motorcycle patrolman Churchill and patrolman Webb, murdered by 19-year-old boys attempting a pay roll robbery last Friday, were buried with police honors. Four others, including the Lopez baby, had been killed, and a dozen were wounded in the chase that followed the attempted robbery. Weather had caused transfer of the scheduled mass meeting from Central park to ’Madison Square Garden. The big garden was packed by 20,000. Outside, from 15,000 to 25,000 clamored for admittance as Bainbridge Colby, chairman, opened his attack on an “unholy alliance of politics and the underworld.” “I want you to look at these women, then you’ll have an understanding of what is taking place in this city. As long as you put hypocrites and cowards in public office, so long will your children be at the mercy of criminals.” Challenged by Butler Senator Wagner, Father Charles D. Coughlin of Detroit, Charles Francis Coe, State Commander Edward J. Neary of the Legion, Hugh Frayne of the A. F. of L., Rabbi Cabriel Schulman, spoke. Then General Butler arose. He pointed at Mrs. Veneghallo and Mrs. Lopez. “Look, there’s your damned lawlessness. Your police are as good as those who boss them. You have gangsters because some of your public officials have betrayed your trust. Your city will be safe when it is clean, it never will be safe while it is dirty. “The 20,000 policemen in this city could close every speakeasy, vicious resort and racketeer hangout in forty-eight hours if they l.new this was what was wanted of them. Something is holding the police in check. Some restraint is operating upon the commissioner and his subordinates.” Prohibition Is Blamed Mulrooney, almost by way of retort, it appeared, pi’aised Mayor Walker, blamed prohibition laws, unwanted by New York’s population, for lawlessness, and replied: “The New York police offer nothing to the racketeer but an unconditional surrender. We will meet blow with blow, gun with gun. We ask no quarter. We will give no quarter. Twenty thousand men are o nthe firing line. Rackets will be smashed.” As he spoke, the police, augmented by 300 on clerical jobs, had rounded up fifty-known criminals. They were “bringing them in” with every passing hour.

CANNON ASSAILS QUIZ; HELD VINDICTIVE MOVE

B;i United Press WASHINGTON, Aug. 2£ —Bishop James Cannon Jr. today cabled Chairman Nye of the senate campaign fund investigating committee, protesting continued investigation of his anti-Smith activities during the 1928 campaign. Cannon said Nye’s desire to accelerate the investigation was prompted by a hope to obtain criminal prosecution before the statute of limitations expires. The bishop cabled from London to the Methodist board of temperance and social service, with instructions that the communication be forwarded to Nye. The committee has subpoened C. Bascom Slemp, Virginia Republican, to testify today in renewed hearings. Cannon's cable said the Glass

By Times Special ANDERSON, Ind., Aug. 25.—The loan sharks and the big Republican politicians today took over the American Legion for at least a year. In the bitterest contest in state legion history, these forces combined to defeat Jay E. White of South Bend, whose legislative activities last winter against the loan sharks invited hostility and whose independence did not jibe with the plans of Senators Watson and Robinson to use the legion next year.

The campaign by Senator Watson was open and candid. He sent Secretary Harry Fenton of the Republican committee to various parts of the state to campaign for Ralph Gates, who was elected commander by a vote of 365 to 274 for White. The senator himself got into the matter and threatened at least one Republican office holder with senatorial wrath if he refused to desert White. Move Openly Political The injection of the Gates candidacy was regarded openly political. Three months ago he pledged his support to White, only later to become a candidate when the Republican * senators sought a leadership that might direct Legion matters along lines that would help them politically. Senator Arthur Robinson was on the ground campaigning against White. His real choice was not Gates, but in the finish it was White against political control and political control won. “Gates is a good Republican,” was thp message carried by Fenton into various quarters. Called McNutt’s Friend "White is a friend of Paul McNutt,” was the charge of Watson to his friends in the convention. White is a Republican. Legionnaires who have attempted to keep the organization out of politics declare that, for the first time in its history, it has yielded to the pleas of politicians. The convention has been visited by active Republican politicians of ail degrees, from congressmen to precinct committeemen. White had visited every part of the state, declaring that if elected he would wage war on loan sharks and keep up an active campaign for free school books. The hostility of the book and loan shark interests

resolution adopted by the senate last session to enable the Nye committee to investigate his 1928 antiSmith campaign expenditures represented a “purely personal attack by vindictive Virginia Democrats.” Senator Glass (Dem., Va.) introduced in 'the senate a resolution authorizing the Nye committee to determine whether the federal corrupt practices act was violated during the 1928 campaign. Representative Tinkham (Rep., Mass.) has been the principal critic of Cannon in the house. E. C. Jameson, New York capitalist, contributeud to Cannon approximately $65,000 during the campaign. Cannon has accounted in detail for about $17,000 of this sum. The committee seeks to learn what disposition was made of the t remaining S43,QCJ.

Sky Is Limit By Times Special

ANDERSON, Ind., Aug. 25. —“Have a good time, boys, and the sky’s the limit,” was the message of Governor Harry G. Leslie to the American Legion at the finish of its big parade here Monday afternoon. A few hours earlier Mayor Mellett had placed. firmly the responsibility for any forgetfulness of the eighteenth amendment upon the national government. Mellett, a Democrat, had heard rumors that his political adversaries intended to put him ‘on the spot’ for failure to’ enfoice the liquor law during the convention. “My police department is inadequate to handle the situation. Send as many men as you have available immediately, or make the eighteenth amendment a farce,” was his wire to enforcement Officer Britt at Indianapolis. No men were sent. The police continued to be inadequate. The amendment was a farce. The Governor suggested that the sky alone was the ultimate.

NEW CABINET IS SELECTED FOR BRITAIN Premier MacDonald Names Aids and Approval of King Is Given. OPPOSITION FORMING National Government. Will Face Bitter Fight With Angry Factions. BY WEBB MILLER United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON, Aug. 25.—The new national government which will attempt to guide Great Britain through its financial crisis was announced today by Premier J. Ramsay MacDonald after it had been approved by the king. The cabinet, comprising outstanding men of the three political parties, follows: Prime Minister—J. Ramsay MasDonald (Lab.). Lord Privy Seal —Stanley Baldwin (Cons.). Chancellor of the Exchequer— Philip Snowden (Lab.). Foreign Secretary—Lord Reading (Lib.). Secretary of State for India—Sir Samueul Hoare (Cons.). First Lord of the Admiralty—Sir Austen Chamberlain (Cons.). Secretary of Dominions and Colonies—J. H. Thomas (Lab.). Secretary for Health Neville Chamberlain (Cons.). President of Board of Trade— Sir Philip Cunliffe-Lister (Cons.). Home Secretary Sir Herbert Samule (Lib.). Lord Chancellor Lord Sankey (Lab.). New Elections Soon It was understood that parliament would be dissolved and new elections held as soon as the national j government finished its work. Mac- | Donald, with co-operation of all I parties, was not expected to fail. Insurgent Laborites and dissent- ■ mg members of other parties were | not expected to muster more than | 150 votes in the house of commons. MacDonald, meantime, arranged | to broadcast a message to the nai tion Tuesday, beginning at 8:35 p. m. (1:35 Indianapolis time) he was expected to discuss the financial j crisis. - The Daily Herald, Laborite organ, ; said terms for further credit offered by the United States federal ! reserve bank constituted a “virtual j ultimatum.” The newspaper said further credit was conditional upon specific and considei'able economies in government operation expenses or in the j expenditure for unemployment bene- : fits. Regarded as Ultimatum “This is a virtual ultimatum from New York bankers, who played a vital part in dividing the late cabinet over the 10 per cent reduction of unemployment benefit,” the Daily Herald said. The newspaper had referred earlier to “outside pressure” allegedly being brought to bear on members of the cabinet who resigned rather than indorse * the proposals to decrease the “dole.” According to the Daily Herald, no new credits will be forthcoming until the new government has instituted economy measures. Stanley Baldwin jssued a statement emphasizing the gravity of the situation and the determination of all parties to meet the crisis. Britain’s class struggle was expected to be increased in bitterness after the temporary national government. The trade unionists, representing at least 5,000,000 voters, consider that MacDonald, Snowden and Thomas “surrendered to the enemy” instead of continuing to fight for the unemployed. The influence of the T. U. C. is likely make the entire labor movement more inclined to socialism. Split Is Emphasized The serious split in the Labor party, foreshadowing MacDonaldsl loss o i its leadership, w r a s emphasized today when eight Labor party whips in the house of commons announced they were resigning. They included Thomas Kennedy, Jack Hayes, former policeman; Tom Henderson, former carpenter, and Ben Smith, former taxicab driver, all of whim also are resigning their posts in the royal household. The independent La’eor party, its least conservative element, issued a statement threatening “relentless opposition” to the new government’s policies. It also urged the trades union congress and the Labor party to organize immediately a campaign es general resistance.
