COURT BAN ON STRIKE THREAT IS ASKED HERE Suit Says Union Workers Hint at Walkout in Library Project. Suit charging a sympathetic strike is threatened by union workers on the new state library and Indiana School of Dentistry projects was before Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell. Motion was filed today for a federal court injunction to end a twenty-year-old labor dispute that has been renewed. The dispute is between structural and ornamental iron workers and carpenters, but may affect hundreds of other workers, according to attorneys filing the suit. The Metal Door and Trim Company, of Chicago, seeks an injunction to prevent a strike conspiracy which, the suit alleges, is delaying work on the two projects. Return to Work Tuesday Workers walked out on the library building project last Friday but returned to work Tuesday, according to Edward E. Gates, Indianapolis attorney for the Chicago firm. Other attorneys for the firm are A. Jack Tilson and Joseph Hoffman, of Indianapolis. Baltzell today continued the case because of other hearings in his court. Defendants are local unions of the International Association of Bridge, Structural and Ornamental Iron Workers, the International Union of Elevator Constructors, Operators and Starters, their agents, and Collier P. Batten, construction superintendent of the Otis Elevator Company. Dates Back to 1910 The Chicago firm contends iron workers threaten to delay work on elevator projeccts in the buildings, unless the firm employs iron workers instead of carpenters. The dispute, never definitely settled in court, dates back to 1910. Jurisdictional award of such wtork as now in dispute to iron workers fifteen years ago caused carpenters to withdraw from the building trades department of the American Federation of Labor, the suit states. Point that the anti-injunction act of 1929 will prevent any federal intervention in the case was raised by Charles E. Cox, attorney for the defendant unions. Settled Without Hearing This defense is to be attacked by the Chicago firm’s attorneys. They contend the 1929 act applies only to disputes between laborers and employers and not to disputes between laborers. “A sympathetic strike may result,” Gates said, “because elevator constructors are threatening not to finish installation of elevators unless ironworkers are employed by the firm.” A similar dispute in this city in 1928 was settled without final hearing in court. ‘BOYS’ FLOCK TO WYE But Wyoming Resort Has Nothing to Do With “Y.” By United Press MONTPELIER, Idaho, June 16 The “Wye,” a resort having nothing to do with the young men’s organization sometimes known by a similar name, is enjoying a burst of business these days.

New York Is Flop, Says ‘Loveliest Girl’ Arrival s, 9

Gotham Isn’t Friendly Like Hamburg, Says Little German Girl. By Times Special NEW YORK, June 16—Esther Miranda, 10-year old child of a German mother and a Filipino father, who here Thursday, aboard the S. S. Milwaukee to dazzle immigration officers into declaring her “the loveliest child who ever came into the Port of New York,” today declared, her mother acting as her interpreter, that the sooner she’s the loveliest child going out of the Port of New York the better. Up at the Miranda home in the Bronx, Esther, whose father is a waiter, spoke her mind in vigorous German, her black bobbed hair tumbling about her round pink face: “I don’t like New York,’’ she said flatly: “I want to go back to my grandparents in Hamburg.” She exhibited a small change bank. "See, I’ve started saving already. “People here are not friendly At home, in Hamburg, all the grownups stop and talk to one another on the streets, and the children play together. Here nobody stops, and the children play alone by the curb. I do not like this. “The autos here, too—they go too fast. And it is so crowded.”

MORTGAGE AID PLAN LAUNCHED 30 Per Cent ‘Writedown’ to Be Tested by Federal Administrator. By United Press WASHINGTON, June 16.—The first refinancing program under the farm mortgage act—an immense operation designed to open 540 banks in Wisconsin—was announced dramatically today by Farm Credit Administrator Henry Morgenthau. If the experiment in Wisconsin, planned to result in a writedown of 30 per cent in farm mortgages, is successful, the program will be extended to other states, Morgenthau said. This writedown will “unfreeze the whole state,” Morgenthau predicted. The plan will be put into operation immediately, he said.

Wheat States Threatened by Plague of Locusts

Hatching of Pests Speeded by Hot Weather, Bureau Warns. Ry Science Service WASHINGTON, June 16—Grasshoppers will be bad this summer in the great wheat states of the west, if the insects continue to develop at the rate they have started this spring. This is indicated by a survey just completed by field research men of the bureau of entomology, United States department of agriculture. Survival of eggs in the soil through the winter was practically perfect in all the Great Plains states, Dr. W. H. Larrimer. principal entomologist in charge of the mvision of cereal and forage insects, informed Science Service. Hatching began in the middle of May. For a time, it was checked by the cool, wet weather, though the eggs still remained undamaged. Now, with the sudden onset of hot weather, hatching has resumed at accelerated speed, and the young in-

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

TIMES MARBLE GROWN AGAIN WONJY DYER ’32 Champion Jests Large Field in Finals for. . World Fair Trip. Billy Dyer, redheaded, freckle faced marble champion of the city in 1932, proved again that he is the best “mibs” shooter in the city today, when he captured the 1933 title in the final games of The Indianapolis Times city-wide marble championship at Willard park. Playing a much improved game over that which won him the right to represent the city in the national tournament last year, Dyer conquered an improved field of sixteen sectional champions this morning and will leave Sunday, June 25, for Chicago to carry the colors of Indianapolis in the western divisional games of the national tournament to be played at A Century of Progress Exposition, June 26-29. Dyer will be accompanied to Chicago by a chaperon provided by The Times, with all expenses paid. He will be dined and feted, shown through the World's fair by expert guides, taken on boat trips, and otherwise given rousing entertainment in the big city while not actually playing marbles.

sects have emerged from 25 to 100 per cent of the eggs. The prospects are worse in North Dakota, ‘although in South Dakota conditions are worse than was expected. In Minnesota, the insects are fewer, because last summer’s active poison warfare reduced the breeding stock. From these northwestern states the grasshopper situation is grave, all the way south to Arizona, where it is more serious than at any time in the last fifteen years. The grasshoppers can be effectively fought by the distribution of sweetened bran baits poisoned with arsenic. This usually is done by the farmers, with aid from the states or counties. However, with the fiscal affairs of all states none too good and some of them desperate, the munitions of warfare may be lacking at exactly the points on the battle line where they are most needed. Thus, South Dakota has prospects for an unusually severe attack by the enemy, and no money at all to finance a defense campaign. Minnesota, on the other hand, with fewer hoppers, still has funds to finance the protection of her fields. BAN UTILITIES FROM RIPPING UP STREETS Works Board Members Serve Notice on All City Firms. Works board members today served notice on all public utilities that in the future all plans for repairs where it necessitates tearing up a street would have to be submitted to the board for approval. Attention of the board was called to repairs now under way at Pennsylvania and Ohio streets, where a hole has. been cut in the recently resurfaced street by the Indianapolis Power and Light Company to replace heat pipes. No permit was obtained from the board to make the cut, and the street commissioners’ office had no knowledge of the contemplated repairs when resurfacing the street, it was said.

QUIZ REALTORS ON LANDVALUE Firm’s Attorneys Fight to Discredit Testimony of Experts. Indianapolis Water Company attorneys today continued hammering away in an effort to discredit testimony of public service commission expert real estate witnesses in the company’s federal court suit for higher rates. t R. B. Tuttle, realtor, who assisted in compiling the land valuation figures submitted by the commission, resumed the stand today to face crogSrexamination by Joseph J. D&niels, company attorney. Daniels obtained admission Tuttle had considered various tracts owned by the company merely as residential and subdivision sites, and not as possible commercial sites, and that in making his appraisal, he had visited certain tracts only once, viewing them from an automobile. Under cross-examination by Daniels regarding the Kaufman and Brooks tracts in the company’s Riverside station lands, Tutlle said he would not consider, in judging the land value, the fact that the tracts are near the Indianapolis baseball park, situated on land part of which was bought in 1921 for $2,250 an acre. In discussing the Schurmann tract adjacent, which he said largely was below low-water mark and was a part of the creek bed, he said he did not take into consideration that the city of Indianapolis in 1927 bought river bed land, for flood prevention purposes, at an appraisal of 1 cent a square foot.

MAJOR CHANGES AT STATEHOUSE SEENJSJNDED Few Still on Pay Rolls to Be Ousted, Is Opinion at Capitol. Major changes, with the exception of the state industrial board, have been made by the McNutt administration and all but a few now on statehouse pay rolls will remain. This was the view expressed at the office of Governor Paul V. McNutt today regarding final reorganization of the state government to be completed July 1. McNutt announced reapi>ointment of Philip Zoercher, veteran Democratic tax board chairman, and Gaylord S. Morton as the Repubi lican member. Morton, secretary to former Gov- | ernor Harry G. Leslie, was named , to the tax board by Leslie upon the ! death of John J. Brown. He has had years of statehouse : service under the various Repubi lican administrations. A popular politician, he has many, friends in both parties. Hoy long Zoercher will remain j is speculative, it having been prei dieted that former Senator Anderson Ketchum, secretary of the board, eventually may be moved up to a Democratic board membership. The other Democratc tax board member is Albert F Walsman, for- | mer member of the house. Estimate has been given that 1,000 fewer persons are on the pay rolls of the state under the McNutt rei gime than \mder that of his Repubi lican predecessor. But whole new departments have | been added, such as excise and sales tax offices, employing around 150.
