Fights to Sleep Scrappy Congressman of Minnesota Wins In Battle No. 2.
Ry I niirrl /*>.* MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Aug. 12 Congressman F. H. Shoemaker's battles for the right of undisturbed sleep numbered two today, and the "fighting congressman'' w’as the victor in both. Shoemaker blackened the eye of a Washington <D C> apartment house dweller several months ago because, he claimed, a nearby
party was too noisy. Prosecution in that fight finally was dropped. The second cause of peaceful slumber was not caused by a party this time. It was the welding of street car rails outside S h o emaker's hotel room by a two-man repair crew. It was a hot night, and the window of his fourth - floor bedroom stood

wide open, admitting the hammer of drilling and the flare of acetylene torches. “I'll fight the w’hole bunch of you," Shoemaker shouted as he rushed to the street in his night clothing after the crew had failed to heed his warning. “I'm the fighting congressman.” Picking up a red lantern, he whirled it around his head and let it flv It smashed on the pavement and went out. Encouraged, the congressman grabbed five others and. one by one, gave them the same treatment Patrolman Henry Menth strolled by just as Shoemaker ran out of lanterns and took him to the station. After a talk with Sergeant John Albrecht, the congressman was released to return to his room, and the workmen, their six lanterns incapacitated, quit work for the night.

Uncle Sam as Consumer Leads in NR A Boycott
Federal Contracts to Be Denied Firms Who Do Not Conform. BY WALKER STONE Tim Sprrtil Writer WASHINGTON, Aug. 12 —Uncle Sam. the consumer, has taken the lead in the nation-wide boycott against employers who fail to display the blue eagle, and organized labor has set itself up as a volunteer police force to see to it that Blue Eagle employers “observe both the spirit and the letter" of the recovery program. This mobilization of economic force is calculated to transform the "white list" of blue eagle employers into a movement of power and coherence. President Roosevelt led the way with an.executive order Instructing all federal agencis to sever contracts with business firms that fail to abide by the NRA program. This order applies not only to the millions of dollars' worth of supplies purchased annually by the federal government, but also to all contracts that have been or still are to be entered into in connection with tho gigantic $3,300,000,000 public work* program.

BOY, TWO WOMEN HURT IN ACCIDENTS Three Are Victims of Mishaps in Automobiles. A boy incurred critical injuries and two women were hurt Friday night in auto accidents in the city. Elvis Montgomery, 12, of 1935 New street, is in city hospital suffering from injuries incurred when a truck, driven by his uncle. William Camplin. 2152 Ransdell street, ran over the boy's body. Police were told that the boy was standing on the running board of the truck w’hen he fell off. The accident occurred at lowa street and Pleasant Run boulevard. Face cuts were Incurred Thursday night by Mrs. Clara Cranny, 39, of 1040 North Delaware street, when the car in which she was riding with her hband crashed into a parked truclc in the 3400 block, Madison avenue. Driver of the truck was Earl Smith. 31. of 1024 Charles street.
Mss Helen Hawkins, 26, of 1319 North New Jersey street, incurred minor head cuts when she fell from a car at St. Clair and Pennsylvania streets.

CLEWS ARE SOUGHT IN HIJACKING OF TRUCK Canned Goods Cargo Taken in Raid Near Lafayette. Ri> I'nitrd Prr* * LAFAYETTE, Ind.. Aug. 12. Leonard Shuster, Benton county sheriff, today sought clews in the hijarking of a truckload of canned goods between here and Fowler on U. S. Road 52. It was the twelfth reported hijacking in the county in recent weeks. Men leaped aboard the truck as it crept up a hill, drew revolvers and took the two drivers down a side road, returning them to the empty truck. The truck was that of the Morgan Packing Company, Austin, headed by Ivan C. Morgan, former state Republican chairman, who recently lost a load of sugar in a hijacking near Jeffersonville.
Harry Hopkins, federal emergency relief administrator, embraced the President's new policy by issuing immediately anew regulation forbidding the expenditure with nonconforming employers of any of the half-billion dollars of federal relief funds that is being doled out through the states. The same policy has been adopted by the Tennessee valley authority which is preparing to spend millions developing the Muscle Shoals project. Organizers of the recovery drive have taken steps to expand the movement until the thousands of cities, towns, countries and other political subdivisions have covenanted to trade only at the sign of the blue eagle. In this manner it is hoped to make the , taxpayers purse the heavy bldgeon of the new deal. In his call to arms, enlisting organized labor into a volunteer NRA constabulary, William Green, A. F. ol L. president, went much farther than have the heads of such organizations as the American Legion, the chambers of commerce and the National Federation of Women's Clubs, whose members merely were asked to back the President's program and patronize only *Jse blue eagle employers.
THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
The picture above shows the large group which attended the meeting of the Christian Men Builders’ class of the Third Chris-
Christian Men Builders, Inc., Helps to Spread Fame of City’s Work to All Parts of Country.
(Continued From Page One) Brookside United Brethren, Riverside M. E., St. Matthew Evangelical Lutheran and many others have held such summer schools this summer or In past years. Better trained teachers have attracted the largest numbers in the history of the city to the Sunday schools, and have held their interest, week after w’eek. Rooms Bright and Cheery These Sunday school rooms are bright, cheery, well-ventilated and heated, with beautiful flowers always present. The little red chairs for the very young still are found In the Sunday school rooms. Several times a year Dr. Warren W. Wiant of the North M. E. church takes the young people- of the Sunday school into the beautiful auditorium of the church and quietly explains all the symbols and the service. As the Sunday school classes have become more intelligent, the church services have become more inspiring and more beautiful. Older men are going back into the Bible schools. Many Adults Return As Sunday school leaders point out: "Men who have not gone to Sunday school for years have taken up again just where they left off years ago.” The depression has caused many men to consider the Bible, its history, and its teachings ‘as good reading.” Many Protestant churches have large Bible schools for men. but the Christian Men Builders, of the Third Christian church, has built up a. record which has caused national* and j international school leaders to study the methods of this big class. The Christian Men Builders Bible class was organized in the spring j of 1913 by five young busness men j of the church. At that tme, Dr. j T. W. Grafton was pastor. Sidener Is Leader In September of that year, this class secured as leader and teacher. Merle Sidener, president of the Sidener, Van Riper, Keeling National Advertising Company. Since then the membership increase has been so rapid that it has outgrown two rooms and has become a class with an active en- j rollment of approximately 1,500 men. Records show that the average attendance for the year has been j 876 each Sunday. Ten per cent of that number has attended every! Sunday this year. A total of 735 has been awarded M 33 class pins in recognition of attendance for seven eonseutive weeks. Activities of this class ?re not confined to the class room, but extend to the baseball diamonds and the tennis courts. Glee Cub Formed Recently a glee club was formed, under direction of Arthur Mason. This group has been singing for several Sundays before the class. In keeping with the ultimate purpose of the class to "help young men make good.” a self-develop-ment and public speaking class re-! cently has been formed. This class has recognized the depression and sought a method to counteract Its terrific social and industrial effects. It has an employment bureau j and. as one of the members states, “In spite of the general economic conditions, the department has been able to place men at work.” Social Service Given That is one of the tremendous social sendee duties that Bible classes all over the city have been rendering for months. The Christian Men Builders also maintains a social sendee depart- j ment which looks after the general welfare of the members. These duties include looking after the poor, visiting the sick, and the like. The class is controlled by a cabinet of nine men and has been incorporated under the state laws of Indiana. This cabinet meets every Tuesday night. Membership officers j and workers meet every Wednesday! night. The photograph accompanying this article was taken last Easter Sunday. Nearly 2.000 men were present on that Sunday. Meet at Theater So great is the Easter attendance of thus class that it is necessary to meef at the Zaring theater. Dr. William F Rothenburger is the present pastor of the church. The same story of accomplishment and of large and increasing attendance can be told In all the Men's Bible classes in all Protestant churches of the city. This gigantic cavalcade of the Sunday schools is receiving not only constructive and intelligent Bible training, but priceless social service from experts. In the grades of the Roman Catholic parochial schools, the enrollment Is 6,880 and 1,767 In the six high schools and academies. This constant church attendance : on the part of Lhasa children has

aided in giving this city the largest Roman Catholic membership it ever has had. # Youth Is Served Youth in this Sunday school cavalcade Is receiving advanced training that grandmothers and grandfathers never dreamed of. Many churches have special health clinics, as well as dental clinics. The road to health, physical, mental, and spiritual, is the path that the boy and girl of the Sunday school is traveling today. The Sunday school and the adult Bible class has met the challenge of service. Youth In the church service, by means of this new ministry of music and drama, is taking a more active part than ever before. Once a w r eek during the year, a boy becomes "pastor” of the Suther- j land Presbyterian church. He is j aided by an official board and other officers of all young people. Boy Rules Church Tills boy “pastor” and his associates actually run the church for a week. In this same church young people often debate important subjects of the day. At other times they appear in religious dramas. The child of the cradle is not forgotten, because all churches have their important cradle rolls and some have modern nurseries, where the babies are taken well care of while the parents enjoy the services. The new day and the new deal in Sunday school and church activities has arrived. The cavalcade is marching and Is receiving. The next article In this series will deal with the great Jewish agencies of social service and of home life. MRS. HUGH JOHNSON IN LARGE RECOVERY ROLE Wife of Administer Probably Has “Second Toughest" Job. Ry Scrippt-ffotcnrd Xncapnprr Allianre WASHINGTON. Aug. 12.—General Hugh S. Johnson's job of “reorienting a couple of universes in a minute and a half" is the toughest under way in the country today, and Mrs. Hugh S. Johnson's new job probably is the second toughest. She will work night and day, as every one else does, and without pay of any kind except the satisfaction of being useful. In a sense, Mrs. Johnson will have to "mop up" after her husband's big offensive. As chairman of the consumers’ protective board she will receive and act on complaints from 120.000.000 people, more or less, who find prices altered as a result if the re-em-ployment drive. Mrs. Roosevelt invited people to write and tell her how they are getting along under her husband's new deal and Mrs. Johnson will hear about the results of her husband's gigantic enterprise. The new board which Mrs. Johnson heads will perform two very different duties which equally are essential to success of the recovery program. It will educate the public to expect an increase in prices as a result of increased pay rolls. BAND CONCERT SUNDAY Victor Herbert’s Favorite Selections Will Be Played. Victor Herbert's favorite selections will be featured Sunday afternoon in a concert by the Arndt concert band at University park, given under auspices of the Indianapolis park board.

HALT ASKED IN LAKE POLLUTION Governor Is Urged to Take Hand in Situation in Calumet Area. Demand for prompt action by Indiana in halting pollution of Lake Michigan, due to sewage poured into it from the Calumet district, was made by Governor Paul V. McNutt today by Governor Henry Homer of Illinois. Lake county cities and industries were blamed for the large part of the pollution by Horner, who said he had made a survey of conditions in Indiana areas bordering the lake. “A widespread water-borne epidemic would be disastrous at this time and would be an addl'd financial burden upon the public" Horner wrote. “Some way to stop this great hazard must be found. "I can not believe that alien Indiana and its municipalities and industries involved are informed of the gravity of the situation that prompt, energetic art ion will be taken in your state to solve this pollution problem" Horner also said he will ask the federal government to make a survey of the pollution of Indiana origin. but suggested that action be taken immdiately without awaiting reports of the federal survey. McNutt said he has ordered a report on thp matter from engineers of the state division of public health. U. S.
