EIGHT-HOUR DAT ASKED AGAIN BY TRAM WORKERS Plea Will Compel Public Service Commission to Make Ruling. Having refused to rule on an eight-hour day for Indianapolis Street Railway Company employes, due to technicalities, public service commissioners are to be confronted directly with the point, it was announced today. Anew petition for arbitration, in which the eight-hour day is asked directly, has been presented to James P. Tretton, superintendent of the company by a group of carmen. It then will go to the board of directors of the company and if refused, be appealed to the public ervice commission. Former Plea Ignored Commissioner Frank Singleton refused to consider the eight-hour day because this course had not been followed in a previous petition in which wage Increases also were asked. The increases were denied, but the commission did order use of passes instead of tickets for the carmen. The new petition was drafted by J. S. Fenstermacher, attorney for the Indianapolis Street Railway union. The union is not recognized under the working contract of the company, which requires an open shop agreement. Recognition of the right of collective bargaining also is asked in the eight-hour petition. Unemployment Cited In dealing with the eight-hour day. the petition reads: "We feel that in view of the increasing unemployment and poverty .ampant in the city of Indianapolis in particular, and in the entire county In general, it Is our duty In the name of humanity to share our employment wit hthose less fortunate individuals of our city. "However,” we find it dffiicult to accomplish our desires without the co-operation of the company, inasmuch as we do not represent the entire personnel. "Therefore, we ask that the working day of each employe operating under the said contracts be limited to eight hours per day, and that every employe be guaranteed seven days per week labor. Jobs for 100 Asked "We feel certain that this plan will insure every employe now in the company’s employ a living wage and provide not less than 100 new opportunities for those now unemployed in the city of Indianapolis to make a living wage and come off the list of charity where they were forced by adversities. "Therefore, that there be no mistake in our desires and petition, we want the working day of all employes, under the aforesaid contracts, to be limited to eight hours per day and a guarantee of seven days’ per week labor for present employes.” The petition also asks time and one-lialf for all overtime over eight and one-half hours and restoration of employes discharged in 1926-2? to the 100 new jobs.

began a desperate battle to regain custody of her child. Under German law, the youth became the legal ward of the grandfather, Bernhard Schulz, who refused to free him without payment of $390 for board and room, Mrs. Huhn, who is employed at the Real Silk mills, and has a modest home, was visited several years ago by an acquaintance from Germany, who told the boy’s grandfather she was wealthy because she had a second-hand, automobile and a phonograph. Three years ago she enlisted the aid of the Fletcher Savings and Trust Company travel department, which co-operated with the American consul in Berlin, the Red Cross, American Express, North German Lloyd line officials and others. Until a few months ago the grandfather was adamant, refusing to permit the boy to leave his home unless “his rich daughter” should pay him $390. She was unable to raise the money. Then, suddenly, he threatened to place the boy in an orphanage unless Mrs. Huhn came for him. Word thc.t Helmut would arrive in New York Tuesday was received Saturday by E. Hopkins of the Fltcher company, who, in turn, notified Mrs. Huhn.

SCORING PLAN FOR SURGEONS IS SUGGESTED Cures, Deaths Would Be Tallied Under System Given Convention. By United Press NEW YORK, Oct. 14.—A plan to give every surgeon a professional rating based on results of his operations was under consideration today by the American college of surgeons. The idea, which Is a development of -a system now in effect at the Pasavant Memorial hospital at Jacksonville, 111., was brought up by Dr. Carl E. Black of that institution. His plan is to establish a uniform system of marks so every surgeon can be charged with the surgical deaths w’hich follow his operations and credited with the successful ones. “In hospitals where the surgical

j mortality rate appears high in coiv I trast with that of other institui tions.” he said, “responsibility then i can be fixed and steps taken to i eliminate those surgeons who are J unfit.” In detail, the plan which he I broached at the twenty-first annual congress now going on, calls for j every surgeon’s marks to be totaled jat the end of a given year. From I these totals the general average of | the hospitals could be obtained. This general average then would be listed with the figures from other hospitals. Publication of these figures. Dr. Black said, would stimulate hospitals to do better work and gradually, eliminate incompetence. The fight against cancer now being waged by the College of Surgeons was described by Bowman C. Crowell of Chicago, director of clinical research. He reported that the process of organizing the country's medical resources into a network of cancer clinics is well under way.
