Yuletide Joy for Every Home Is Goal of Clearing House. BY LOWELL NUSSBAUM Santa Claus, he of the flowing white beard, bay window, red suit and jolly chuckle, has gone modern. Back in the days when most Times readers were children, the jolly old man, with the help of a few gnomes, personally was able to attend to the Christmas wishes of children all over the world. But now, with times not so good, more and more children to care for, and their demands each year growing more complex, the task has become too much even for one so versatile. So, following the modern trend toward organization, old Santa has taken a leaf from the Hoover notebook and named committees and

helpers galore, deputizing a large portion of his duties to volunteers. Persons inquiring for Santa’s Indianapolis manager at his headquarters, 130 Monument circle, are surprised when they are greeted, not by one of Mr. Claus’ whitebearded assistants, but, instead, by an attractive, fair-haired young woman scarcely out of her ’teens. She is Miss Harriette Thompson, 3325 Ruckle street, who, as clearing house secretary, capably is managing things here this year for Santa. Through her hands, and those of her assistants, pass thousands of letters from children which must be forwarded to the north pole for Santa’s personal scrutiny, requests for warm clothing, food, toys, and requests from the more fortunate citizens for names of families needing assistance at Christinas time. The clearing house helps bring together those who need help and those wishing to give help, eliminating duplication.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

SPLIT FACING R. R. GOSSES Western Group Divided on Amount of Pay Cut. /> </ United Tress NEW YORK, Dec. 18.—Railroad presidents representing eastern, southern and western lines met here today with a majority favoring naming of a committee to negotiate with labor on the proposed 10 per cent wage reduction. Executives of southern roads have followed the steps taken by officials of easetrn carriers and appointed three presidents to meet with brotherhood representatives. The western group was divided on the amount of the proposed cut. Some favored a 15 per cent reduction, but it was believed that sentiment might be swayed to coincide with the action taken by the other two groups. Regardless of what action other regions take, the eastern representatives will be free to negotiate on a voluntary basis with labor in their section. This will be true even if, in conformity with the wishes of a portion of the western bloc, all the roads should agree to apply immediately, under the thirty-day clause of their contracts with the unions for a 15 per cent reduction. Coyote Killed liy Times Special GREENFIELD. Ind., Dec. 18.—A twenty-six pound coyote was killed by Joseph Walker after it had been discovered killing chickens on the farm of Harvey Jackson.
