MUSSEL SHELL FRANCHISE SOLD BY WATER CO, Advance Guard of Diggers Soon to Encamp on Canal Banks. The battle of "muscle vs. muscle shells” will be resumed here in a few days with the Indianapolis Water Company’s canal as the scene of conflict. Probably within the next week, advance guard of a small army of mussel shell diggers will encamp on the canal banks and resume the digging of shells which last summer resulted in a miniature war between rival mussel shell magnates. In an effort to avoid complications which resulted from the permit system which prevailed last summer, the water company this year has granted an exclusive franchise for removing the bivalves to an expert in the industry. Fabius Gwin, Shoals attorney and present Martin and Dubois state representative. 500 May Get Jobs Gwin expects to employ possibly as many as 500 jobless men, a majority of them from Marion county, for the summer. He expects his daily pay roll to average nearly $1,500. The mussel shells will be hauled from the canal banks to a steam cooking plant near Broad Ripple where the mussels wall be separated from their homes and the shells then shipped by railroad to Muscatine and Washington, la., where they will be transformed into pearl buttons and similar articles. Gwin is chief stockholder in the Shoals Pearl Button Company, which operates three plants at Shoals, and sole owner of the Gwin Pearl Button Company, which operates two plants in Loogootee and one in Vincennes. Discovered by Accident He is reported to have agreed to pay the water company a royalt./ of $5 a ton on all shells removed, and to have contracts to dispose of all the shells at S3O a ton to the low’a plants. The water company first discovered that the much sought after shells inhabited the canal, last summer by accident. A minor employe of the company, working on the canal, gave permission to one of his Broad Ripple neighbors to remove some of the shells. ‘Army’ Soon at Work Soon an army of shell diggers were at work, the original digger having "sold his contract.” Broad Ripple residents resented an invasion of Noblesville diggers and several pitched battles ensued, resulting in police arresting a number of the Noblesville contingent. Through arbitration engineered by the company, an armistice was declared and the two groups finally agreed to work together.

‘Taste AppeaV Featured at Times Cooking School
Ruth Chambers Shows How to Prepare Meats in Tempting Style. “If your family doesn't like stew, perhaps the stew lacks ‘it,’ which in food means ‘taste appeal,’ ” suggests Miss Ruth Chambers, cooking expert, in her second session today of the free cooking school conducted by The Times at the English theater. The concluding lectures at 2 and 7:30 p. m. Thursday will deal with “Hospitality With Comfort.” Miss Chambers will prepare complete meals and demonstrate the making cf special dishes. Each woman will receive a recipe bock in addition to the daily program containing the recipes demonstrated at that session. Taste appeal is an important detail in preparation of a meal, according to Miss Chambers, who stated today that every housewife should study the special likes and dislikes of her family and cater to them. Must Watch Health “The housewife must do her full share in keeping the family up to standard, for health is an all-im-portant consideration.” Miss Chambers plans meals based upon the principles of balanced diet, building the menu around the meat course, because of its nutritive value. In her demonstration today, she prepared corn stuffing, date yums. and jack frost salad, which are noted for “taste appeal” to be served with pork roast, leg of lamb or broiled steak. She has worked out many short cuts for preparation of a meal as well as economy methods. She explains that boned and rolled meats are more economically served and prepared and shows the housewife r.ew and attractive methods of serving leftovers. Shows How to Cook Meats In her opening lecture Tuesday, on “Feeding the Family Easily,” Miss Chambers demonstrated methods of cooking tender and less lender meats to conserve flavor and food value.

RENO SEES NO HOPE TO BALK FARMJTRIKE House Defeat of Plan to Guarantee Production Costs ‘Last Straw.’ BY HARTZELL SPENCE Vnitrd Press Staff Correspondent DES MOINES, la.. May 10.—The National Farmers Holiday Association appealed today to every planter and cattleman in the country to join the strike it has called for May 13, ignoring reported plans of President Roosevelt to provide emergency relief to avert the embargo. Milo Reno, militant head of the Holiday association, said he was not prepared to comment immediately on President Roosevelt’s announcement that he would appeal for a moratorium on mortgage foreclosures until his agricultural program started functioning. Previously, Reno had said he believed the strike could be averted if congress complied with one of the association’s five demands —guarantee of production costs and a reasonable profit for farmers. Peasantry, or Fight to Finish When the house Tuesday killed the Simpson-Norris amendment to the farm bill, which would have guaranteed production costs, Reno declared that hopes of canceling the strike were shattered. “Now',” he said, “there's nothing for the farmer to do except submit to peasantry or battle to the finish.” The other four points of the association’s demands are: Settlement of mortgages on a low-interest, long term basis, lower property taxes, free silver and payment of the soldiers’ bonus. Reno today predicted that the strike “will end in ten days if 75 per cent of America’s farmers join the movement.” He is confident the strike w-ill “starve congress into submission,” but regardless of whether it wins its immediate objective, he said, “it wall be tremendous value to agriculture.” Put Farmers on Feet Reno said he felt President Roosevelt was “doing his honest best for all industry.” But he added that he hoped the impending strike would impress on the administration that “it is beginning at the tail of this problem instead of at the head.” He said that if the Simpson-Nor-ris amendment had been approved, the strike probably would have been canceled. “Put farmers back on their feet and the depression is over,” Reno said. “If farmers w-ere guaranteed cost of production alone, they would spend $200,000,000 repairing their equipment and restoring their rundown farms.” STATE YOUTH HUNTED Appeal for Aid in Search Is Made by Father of Boy. Appeal for aid in search for his son Arthur, 16, who disappeared from home Saturday, was issued today by Lewis J. Hamner, living at Marietta, five miles south of Shelby ville.

LOSS OF MANY JOBS FACED IN RAILPROGRAM Joseph Eastman Suggests Laid Off Labor Get Public Works Posts. BY MARSHALL McN’EIL Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, May 10.—Organized railway labor stated its opposition to President Roosevelt’s emergency railroad co-ordination bill to the senate interstate commerce committee today on the heels of a frank admission by Joseph Eastman, who may become the coordinator. that the proposal will throw many men out of work. But Eastman, who is an interstate commerce commissioner, also proposed plans for absorbing the labor thus to be laid off. by the railroads themselves instituting a program of rehabilitating their plant and equipment at a cost of not less than a billion dollars, and by the inauguration of a national public works program. Donald R. Richberg, counsel for the Railway Labor Executives’ Association, today's witness before the senate committee, is expected to make similar suggestions. Commissioner Eastman was to appear today before the house interstate and foreign commerce committee to explain to that group his idea of how the President's plan wall work out. Labor's plea today for more consideration in the administration’s plan will fall on friendly ears, for inquiries made by senators of Eastman Tuesday indicated that the paradox of co-ordinating the railroads and thus laying off workers w’hile at the same time the government is spending millions to put other persons to work* had not escaped them. Eastman’s answer was first that the railroad bill is not offered as a cure-all. The purpose of the bill, he explained, is to eliminate wasteful practices and services by the carriers.
