10-CENT HOURLY WAGE IS PAID ON REMODELING Employer Defends Scale as ‘Made Work' for Jobless. Carpenters' hammer? pound at 15 cents an hour. Laborers shoulder boards and help rough in' repairs on a roof at 10 cents an hour. The carpenters and the iaoorer', with hammer and muscles, are working in the Indianapolis Casting Company' empty building 131 South Harding street. With NRA gomcr into effect, the men working ther* may be thrown out of jobs "It wouldn't be profitable to work, them at the minimum wage of 30 cents an hour under 'he recovery act." said F W Cornelius, owner of the building, and in charge of remodeling of the vacant buildings roof. 11l probably have to quit the work," he add< and. Cornelius admits that he has employed labor to remodel the roof of the casting company* structures at wages which he says "range from $1 to S3 a day." Better Than Charity Laborers on the project .say they have been getting 10 cents an hour, while others who Handled saw and hammer and were listed as doing carpentry work received 15 cents an hour. Cornelius protests that the project is a made work The men were around the place and wanted work and I gave it to them They figured it was better than living off thp county. There was nothing holding them there. They didn't have to work for it unless they wanted to. They could quit at any time.” he said He cited the fact that he was permitting one family to live in two rooms of the casting company building Asked if he didn’t believe that *he desire to obtain a weekly wage, regardless of how small, forced the men to hire themselves at that rate in preference to being idle, he said: “Maybe so—but I worked at a lower wage when I was a boy Why. I've worked for S4 a week ’ Threatens Shutdown "Does The Indiana polls Times want to hire these men? I'll close, this work down if there's going to be so much to do about it,' he reiterated Cornelius admitted that he had been remodeling the roof without a building permit for more than a months time. "If I'm wrong there I’m willing to do what's right But when we started out to fix the building and leaks in the roof, it was no more than a job of just cleaning up Then in patching a board woul4 come loose and we'd nail it down. I don't know for what oart of the w'erk I should get a building permit." he said. Complaints Are Received After a conference with the city building commissioner, a fee of $7 was paid by Cornelius for the work already done on the casting company. It was agreed that other work would be paid for at the conclusion of the job. Complaints have been received by The Times that the Frank M. D->il Coal Company, of which Cornelius is general manager, has employes working at as low a wage as those employed on the root of the casting building One workman told The Times that the largest pay he had received for one week’s work was So 31 "Some men working for me at the coal company work just part time. They're paid for their actual work." Cornelius defended. But we have to stay around her’ and wait for coal cars to unload," said one of the workmen Cornelius said workmen of the coal company under NRA would be paid the minimum scale of 30 cents an hour for the actual work. He praised the recovery act

Turquoise Studded Skull Among Ancient Treasure

Chalice of Rock Crystal Also Part of Exhibit at World’s Fair. I’ji Stcicnrr f!rr > irr CHICAGO. July 28—One of the greatest treasures among the famous Monte Alban jewels from the prehistoric shrine :n the Mexican state of Oaxaca, now being shown here at the Century of Progress exposition. at first looks rather grisly and out of place among the many beautiful ornaments of grid, pearl, jade and other precious materials. For it consists of a human skull covered over with a mosaic, of tiny flat pieces of turquoise and fitted with eyes of pearl-shell and a nose of flint. But this ornamented skull was a very important thing in the ancient Mexican religious system, tor it represented the great god who was the deity of the. sky, of light and of nature generally. Only one other similar skull has hitherto been found, and this is new in the British museum, scientists in charge of the treasure state. Another highly valuable object in the collection is a chalice carved out from rock crystal. It is so truly round and so smooth that it is believed the workman who made it knew the use of at least a simple type of lathe. Several pairs of large spool-shaped ear pendants also show the same accurate circular cutting attainable only with a lathe. The use of rock crystal as a material for ornaments and c-remonial vessels argues for a high degree of both skill and patience by the Indian craftsmen. This mineral is one of the hardest of natural substanes. being much harder than ordinary steels. Probably the only way the ancient Indians could have cut it was by the use of rock crystal fragments or powder, after the manner of modern diamond cutting.

July 28—To a casual observer, "Scotty” might appear to be just another horse—and a rather old and decrepit one. too. But Scotty’s owner. Charlie Thomas, and others who know him. say he is a horse of superintelligence Os his own accord. Scotty does what naturalists and bird lovers all over the country- have been urging farmers to do —he watches over the birds of the field. In all his nine years of plowing experience, Scotty never has stepped on a bird’s nest, or harmed young birds. When he comes to a nest in a furrow. Scotty stops short, and his driver can't budge him. He looks at the ground, then at the driver, then waits until the birds and nest are moved before he will proceed. Cow Whipped Bear /?)/ I'nitfd Prim FORT KLAMATH. Ore..

U. S, LEADERS DELAY CHEAP DOLLAR STEPS Further Inflation to Await Effects of Industrial Recovery Program. BY RICHARD L. GRIDLEY t'nited Press Staff Correspondent (Copyright. 1933. br United Pres. > WASHINGTON. July 28.—Plans to increase prices through further devaluation of the dollar have been abandoned until the administration gauges the effects of its industrial recovery program, it was learned today on the highest authority. While still determined to restore purchasing power to 1925 levels the administration will endeavor to reach this objective through its recovery program before embarking on further drastic devaluation of the dollar. The rapid progress of the recovery program is believed to have convinced many members of the administration that further business improvement can be worked out without resort to drastic money inflation, and its accompanying evil of over-speculation. The government has broad inflation powers of an elastic nature, so designed that unforeseen developments may be met as they appear. With continuing success of the recovery program, it is understood that no further dollar devaluation will take place over the next few months, and possibly never. Such inflationary measures as the public works program will be continued. Another reason for abandonment of further drastic dollar devaluation was fear that a declining currency would discourage investment and choke off the government's much needed recovery funds to be ob- ! tained through sale of bonds. More • than $3,000,000,000 new funds must , l>e raised to finance the public works program. DENVER’S SIZE GROWS City Passas 300,000 Population Mark. Estimate Shows. Bu T’nitrii Prim DENVER.
