EAGLES' BILL IS INTRODUCED BY LOUIS LUDLOW a Job Stabilization Measure Placed Before House by Hoosier. B't Scrippa-U award Srwnpaprr Alliance WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.—Creation of a federal industrial comTnisison of five members “to make frurveys, studies and investigations oi all problems relating to the tlabilization of employment in industry, agriculture and commerce” Is provided in a bill introduced today by Representative Louis Ludlow (Dem., Ind.). The measure is the same as that Introduced late last session by Ludlow and Senator John J. Blaine (Rep., Wis.). No action was taken on it last session, although hearings v.ere held before the house judiciary committee. Under the bill, which was originated and is sponsored by the Fraternal Order of Eagles, the created industrial commission would have no power, other than to investigate employment conditions and recommend to congress “such legislation as will enable employes to obtain a saving wage and investors b reasonable dividend.”

Would Get $ 12.0(H) The commissioners would be app micd by the President, with the consent of the senate, and would serve for a term of six years at a salary of $12,000 a year. The purposes and possible effects rif the proposed legislation were discussed fully in a statement made today by Ludlow'. ‘ The measure,” he said, “is predicated on the idea that there is no reason or excuse for such cycles of depression and unemployment as the one through which we now are passing and that there ought to be enough constructive ability in congress to set up regulatory machinery that will prevent such national misfortunes in the future. Worked Out Carefully “The bill has been worked out with the greatest thought and care. It has back of it the 700,000 members of the Eagles and the 100,000 members of the Eagles’ auxiliary. It was proposed first in the Indiana state aerie last June by Frank E. Hering of South Bend. "It was approved unanimously by the state organization and when the grand aerie met at San Francisco last August, it received an unanimous indorsement. ‘ A commission of members of the order then was created to draft a bill and my measure is the product of that commission. Colonel Conrad H. Mann of Kansas City, president of the Kansas City Chamber of Commerce and president of the Missouri Manufacturers’ Association, is the chairman. “The other members are Frank E. Hering, Otto P. Deluse of Indianapolis, president of the Indianapolis Board of Trade; ex-congressman John M. Morin of Pittsburgh and Senator John J. Blaine of Wisconsin.” Nothing Radical in Bill “The order dismisses as nonsense the statement so often heard that ‘we must have business depressions,’ ” continued Ludlow. “It believes that congress and the President have the brains to work out a stabilizing plan that will diminish unemployment and finally reduce it to the minimum. “There is nothing radical about the proposal, which promises to be beneficial alike to both capital and labor. It has a significant and important aim. ‘ While I had no part in drafting the bill, I appreciate the honor of having been chosen to introduce a measure not only wise and timely, but characterized by sound common sense.”

Following is the explanation of Ripley’s "Believe It or Not” w'hich appeared in Wednesday’s Times: Tommy Dowler of Colgate— Dowler played so spectacularly early in the season of 1929 that W. A. Reid, graduate manager of Colgate university, kept accurate record of his performance during the balance of the season. His season record is remarkable, but the most astounding part of it is that he scored within the first five minutes in every game he played—eight out of Colgate’s nine games—five times on triple reverse plays, twice on passes, and once from a punt received on his own fifty-five-yard line.

What Do You Pay for the SMOKE That Goes Out Your CHIMNEY? The gas you burn in your stove and kitchen range is MADE FROM THE SMOKE that is generated in producing Indianapolis Coke from the best grades of furnace coal. Burned in your furnace, this same smoke GOES OUT THE CHIMNEY and all of its heat value is wasted. That is why it is more economical to burn Coke—which is smokeless, and 92% of its content is pure carbon. Order INDIANAPOLIS COKE from your dealer. Save dollars now wasted in smoke.
