LABOR WEIGHS 5.-WAY PLAN TO END DEPRESSION Proposals for Beer, 5-Day Week, Public Works Before A. F. of L. BY DAN BOWERMAN. United Prut Staff Correspondent VANCOUVER. B. C., Oct. 7. A five-point plan of battle to end unemployment depression was ready today for presentation in resolution form to the American Federation of Labor's annual convention. About fifty resolutions were ready to be handed in. They included those: Asking congress immediately to legalize 2.75 per cent beer. Recommending universal adoption of the five-day week and shorter working hours to end unemployment immediately. Urging public works on an immense tcale in inland waterway development, highway building and flood control. Asking Increased inheritance and Income taxes in the higher brackets and possibly restoration of the excess profits tax. Demanding maintenance of wage scales and strongly condemning wage-cutting as the greatest possible economic folly. Huge Bond Issue Asked In less direct fashion these same proposals were included in resolutions presented Tuesday by individuals. Indications were that the earlier resolutions would be set aside. Two proposals for financing large scale public works are up for action. One asks a five-billion-dollar bond issue. The other sets ten billions as a proper figure and asks a special session of congress to vote the money. Two anti-prohibition amendments would ask repeal of the eighteenth amendment and repeal of the Volstead act. Advocates of these favor state control as a substitute. Two resolutions were offered favoring federal subsidized unemployment Insurance. In his opening address President William Green indicated the federation viewed such insurance only as a final and drastic remedy for workingmen. Urge War-time Measure Other resolutions denounced “unfair” policies of individual manufacturers. Job competition from Mexicans and Filipinos fed to other resolutions which went to committees for study. Government supervision over virtually every factory in the nation would be established under one resolution presented. Another proposal would ask President Hoover to summon a joint conference of labor and industry to study the'unemployment problem. Fred W. Suitor of the Quarry Workers’ Union submitted a proposal declaring the present emergency equal to that <jf war times and asking that congress take the drastic step of creating a labor and industrial board, with equal power, to take over and operate all industries for at least one year. ROTARY SEVEN Directors Arc Named at Annual Meeting and Revue. Directors elected Tuesday night at the annual Rotary Club election and revue at the Claypool are: Irwin R. Brown, J. Harry Green, Henry Holt, Chic Jackson, Isaac R. Holycross, Herbert S. King and Curtis H. Rottger. Directors whose terms continue until October, 1932. are Arthur C. Burrell, Andrew' A. Brown, J.

NOTED SINGERS IN ‘BLOSSOM TIME’ Kathryn Reece Will Be Seen as Mitzi and J. Charles Gilbert as Franz Schubert, the Composer. THE perennially beautiful Franz Schubert romance, “Blossom Time,” returns again to English’s for four days commencing Wednesday, Oct. 14. But what difference does it make how many times this operetta says "good-bye?” It will be revived, anyhow, the following season and the same folks who have enjoyed it year after year will welcome its return, and the growing flood of new theatergoers will discover the warm beauty and color as do its older frienrls. * * 131 Oc cAm 'i iwa’i it? rv rr rvt-rv/1 . --

“Blossom Time” is being produced with the same care and attention as before. There will be found freshness about the a vivacity about the pretty chorines in their quaint costumes, and a general picturesque note about the entire production that makes it up to standard entertainments. In the cast are still many who have gone along season after season with the theatrical historybreaking "Blossom Time.” The critics declare that “Blossom Time” has nfever had a finer cast than has been provided for it this season. It includes Kathryn Reece, who plays “Mitzi," who has a repertoire of twelve grand opera roles, and in the lighter fields of music she has starred in “The Enchanted Isle,” the musical version of “Falstaff,” in the revivals of “Mile. Modiste,” • Robin Hood” and several others; starred in Winthrop Ames’ “lolanthe” for fourteen months on Broadway, and in “Prince Charming,” touring Australia in this piece. J. Charles Gilbert left grand opera five years ago to go with “Blossom Time.” He has been seen in the character part of Franz Shubert for almost two thousand times; while Robert Lee Allen has given over two thousand performances in the piece, and has supported such famous personages as Blanche Yurka, Aubrey Beaucica, Richard Bennett, E. H. Sothern and others. Sallie Stembler began her career with the famous Mary Anderson; her association with Broadway’s best would fill a book. Manilla Powers, another deserter from grand opera ranks, has been in leading roles in “Artists and Models,’ the “Red Robe,” “Pleasure Bound and others of equal prominence. Joseph Lertora, son of the

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

‘DOWN AND OUT’ WILL GET SSOO COUNCIL‘BRIBE’ Needy, Freed in Criminal Court, to Be Aided by Disputed Fund. After four years as orphans, greenbacks totaling SSOO that were the sensation of an Indianapolis political corruption trial, today had found a home. Permanency of their abode may be contested, but at least Criminal Judge Frank Baker believes they can be cared for properly in his charity fund. The money originally was produced in criminal court during the trial of Boynton J. Moore, former city councilman, charged with offering SSOO to O. Ray Albertson, then a co.uncil member, for his vote on a north side real estate deal pending before the city body. That was in 1927. Moore denied he placed the money under the seat of Albertson’s car. But the court found Moore guilty, and Moore claimed the money automatically became his. Since then detective Harry McGlenn, former investigator for the

Rum Case By United Prett LOS ANGELES, Oct. 7. “We’re looking for booze,” p - licemen said when they entered a home here. “I'm Booze,” the owner replied. “So is this beer,” the officers retorted. As a result, Henry D. Booze, 54. paid S2OO fine for possession of liquor.

prosecutor, has had custody of the money. Six months ago The Times told how Moore was considering fighting for the money he says he never owned until the court placed it in his possession by finding him guilty of the bribe act. Moore, on recommendation of the county grand jury, was relieved of facing judgment in the case. Cty attorneys the money should be placed in the city treasury because the length of time possession of the money had not been contested prevented it from going to the police pension fund. “I’ve decided to place the money in my charity fund,” Baker said today. “It will be used to help piersons who are freed in this court and who have not had a chance to earn money and provide for themselves and family.” Baker said he decided to appropriate the money following a conference with James E. Deery, city attorney, who has been studying law on the money’s disposal.

EDITOR'S WIDOW HIDES $400,000 IN HOTEL ROOM Gotham Recluse, 93, l§ Forced to Turn Money Over to Guardian. By Unit id Press NEW YORK, Oct. 7.—Mrs. Ida E. Wood, a society belle when Abraham L.ncoln was President, mourns at twentieth century business efficiency which has forced her to surrender the $400,000 in old bills she had oeen hoarding in her hot-el room against a “rainy day.” Mrs. Wood is 93. When the late King Edward VII visited this country as the prince of Wales, she danced with him and her fragile beauty made her a favorite in the drawing rooms of the 60’s and 70's. Now her relatives have obtained a court order by virtue of which she was compelled to take the moneywrapped up in a brown paper parcel—from its hiding place and hand it to Edward T. Corcoran, special guardian. “Id n’t want any one to take care of me; I can take care of my-

self,” Mrs. Wood sobbed, clutching the package of bills, some of which are half a century old, some of which are of a type out of circulatipn for years. “Why should I have a nurse? 1 can take care of myself.” But finally, relatives and attorneys persuaded her to relinquish the brown paper parcel so they might invest the money to provide her an income. She smoothed the fine lace collar at her neck and was led gently away to another room, while four trunks containing jewelry, chic in the 70s, but now antique, were removed. It has been many years since Mrs. Wood was a power in Fifth avenue drawing rooms—when she used to drive up Fifth avenue in stately fashion every afternoon at 4 in her Victoria, driven by two liveried coachmen. When her husband, owner of the old New York Daily News, died, Mrs. Wood took charge of the paper. She had pneumatic tubes installed in her room so that she could direct the editorial policy and read proof in her own home. The paper, subsequently, was sold to the late Frank Munsey. Christain Science Lecture Free A free lecture on Christian Science will be given by Salem A. Hart of Cleveland, 0., member of the board of lectureship of the Christian Science church, in Cadle tabernacle at 6 p. m. Wednesday.
