SCHOOL BOARD AT ODDS WITH TRADES CRAFTS Unions Call Lockout Over Controversy on Two Wage Demands. Friction between union labor rrafts and the Indianapolis school city, which flared sevpral months a?o, when craftsmen employed by The board staged a two-week walkout, has been revived, with anew “walkout" of union plumbers and steamfitters. The trouble has resulted in an almost open break with the unions by the board, which adopted the policy of “hiring men, and not unions.” The dissension has brought reports that union organizations may unite next year in putting out a slate of candidates for school board membership. This is the first time in many years in which the school board has failed to recognize the unions, according to labor leaders. Refuse Wage Raise The plumbers and steamfitters' business agent, Charles Kern, himself a former school commissioner, declared a “lockout" for the two crafts Wednesday, when school officials refused to raise wages of plumbers and steamfitters from 80 rents an hour, which the board has been paying them for many months, to the union scale of $1 124. The 80-cent figure formerly was the union scale for repair work, but since ha* been abandoned, leaving $1 12'j the only recognized scale. When the board refused to pay the higher scale, the walkout took place. At the same time, it was learned that members of several of the crafts employed bv the board, who participated in the walkout three months ago. have forfeited thpir union standing by returning to work at the school board's scale. ••Prefer Steady Work" “They rather would have steady work with the school board at 75 rents or 80 cents an hour than occasional work at higher rates." explained A. B. Good, school business director. "The nrhool board stand is dictated by economy," he added. "With our budget seriously curtailed, we rant afford to pay union scalos, which are fixed on a seasonal employment basis. If we did, we wouldn't have enough money to do all necessary work “The board feels that it must economize and represent all the taxpayers, not just the small per cent, represented by the unions." Painters and carpenters employed by the board are paid 75 cents an hour, the union scale being sl. Two weeks ago, according to A H. Sielken, school buildings and grounds superintendent, the earpent ers were notified by union officials that they must demand the scale or walk out. but they decided to remain on the job. All But Two Continue After the walkout three months ago. all but two painters returned at the old school board scale and have continued working since. Electricians and brick masons are working for 75 cents and $1 an hour, respectively, a price below the regular union scale, but. authorized by these crafts for certain types of work. Sheet metal workers did not return to work after the former walkout and all work formerly performed by this craft now is let to cont ractors. “The whole situation in a nutshell,“ Good said, "is that board refuses to recognize the unions, hiring men instead of unions, but that it is glad to use union men. if they are willing to work for the board scale." SERVICE BOARD RULE DEPENDENT ON NRA Rail Agencies Can Be Abandoned If C. S. Doesn't Disapprove. Official recognition of the National Recovery Act by a state board was given when the public service commission authorised two interurban companies to change stations from agency to non-agency stops, if not prohibited by the NRA rode. The Indiana Service Corporation was authorized to dispense with agents at Ossian and Andrews, and the Indiana railroad to take similar action at Dublin. Wilkinson. Atlanta. Kennard. Cartersburg. Harmony and Chesterfield. Requests for Sharpsvilie and Azalia were denied. The board authorized rate reductions of 15 per cent for Somerset, Wabash county, served by the Northern Indiana Power Company, and a cut of 9 per cent for domestic current users at Coalmont, served by the same utility. Authority also was given for the Great Eastern Stages to operate interstate lines through Indianapolis, with Louisville. Cincinnati and Chicago as terminals.

‘Most Beautiful Ship Afloat’ Is Sent to Doom in Cuban Gale
Famous Barque, Last of Her Type, Sinks With 12 on Board. fly Tmri Sperial NEW YORK Aug 19 In Sailors' Snug Harbor, or along the waterfront where salts still gather to sneer at dirty tramps" and the machine - made gyroscopic apart-ment-hotel liners, today is only a memory of the good ship Guadalhorce. “Lost with all hands' read an Admiralty message to the Tidewater Oil Company, which chartered her for the West Indian trade. She foundered in a Caribbean gale of! Cuba with a crew of twelve—Captain Cipriano Garraton. master—and a chapter of the sea was closed. For the Guadalhorce was the last of her type; a trim 115-foot Mal-lorca-built barque, hand-hewn and hand-pinned, that for fifty-seven years had wind-jammed the seven seas in voyages to the ports of the world and logged more than 1,230,000 miles. Beautiful, Say Seamen She was. seamen swear, the most beautiful thing afloat. “Every line of her" said John Noble, a sea-mad youth, whose photos as she rounded Sandy Hook on her last voyage are the only available pictures of her, matched the rhythm of the sea. Your marln architects draw practical plans of a ship that will float and sail. Only a seaman can Lailcl a craft like the Guadalhorce. “She was pretty,” went on Noble, whose father is the noted marine artist of London, “as a naive, unsophisticated girl is pretty. The huge liners have a certain majesty of bulk.
Had Charm and Grandeur But the Guadalhorre had rharm as well as grandeur, an indefinable something that just happens in a vessel and that can't be built into her, any more than you can make a beautiful character of a man by putting him on a proper diet and rearing him correctly.” Romancin' tars called her “the blonde o' the sea," White, she was. and immaculate. No auxiliary cursed her hold. She relied as Captain Garraton used to say, “on the Godgiven wind.” Her anchors hung from catheads upon which cat images were carved. Her transom border at her stern as also carved to resemble twined rope. A beam across her galley was niched with the figure of a dragon's head, a curious pagan rite of the sea stemming from the Golden Fleece galleons of Jason, and a starting juxtaposition to the Virgin Mary that, dangled from the cuddy in the companion way. Masts Enhanced Grace Part of her graqe as she rolled against the horizon was due to her masts: the mainmast ran some fifteen feet above her foremast and miz, 7,en. Usually, three-masted barques, as Noble points out, have each mast set the same length, which makes the lines of a vessel squat against the sky. “Moreover." added Noble, “she had a jib-boom which enhanced the beauty of her lines, brought them out in attentuation like the lines of an artist." Burly Cadiz seamen manned her, briny descendants of Balearic corsairs who shipped with Morgan and Kidd, who took gales in th’ teeth with the same equanimity they handled dirks. Shp was bound from Las Palmas to Jacksonville when she foundered. A proper graveyard for the old vessel. DRIVER'S TRIAL SET Faces SSOO Fine. Jail Term for Lack of Permit. John Troy, 534 West Abbot i street, who faces a possible fine of SSOO and a possible jail sentence of six months for driving an automobile after his driver's license had been suspended, will appear in court next Friday.

Just eighteen years ago Barney Oldfield last thrilled the crowds at the state fair in a match race with Ralph Dp Palma At the annual Indianapolis speedway race he was always a colorful figure, cigar tilted at the old Oldfield angle. The "Iron Horse ’ which he will drive is bringing in anew era in farm machinery, say agricultural experts. New low pressure tractor tires enable it to pull three 14-inch bottom plows at the speed of five miles an hour. Two other tractors piloted by local drivers will compete against Oldi field.

Prisoner Brought In as Arrest Request Arrives
Found in Grocery on West Side: Wanted by Peoria Police. Because truth still is stranger than fiction, Harry Barnes, 21, of Peoria, faces another burglary count today. While Captain Otto Petit Friday night read a telegram from Peoria authorities, asking the arrest of Barnes, the latter was being held for police after an alleged attempt to rob a west side grocery. Barnes was captured by William and James Burnett, operators of a grocery at 2532 West Michigan street. The Burnett brothers were in a restaurant next door when they heard prowlers. With the moral and physical support of several other men. the Burnetts made their way into the grocery as Barnes is alleged to have been filling a carton with merchandise. The men grabbed Barnes and a companion leaped through a window, joining a third man, who was outside, in a successful sprint for freedom. Petit still was considering the telegram when the police brought Barijes to headquarters. The telegram named two other men who had fled with Barnes and also were wanted on burglary and larceny charges. No doubt. Petit surmised the other men are those who fled from the Michigan street store. Barnes, however, refused to name them, but police said he admitted the Peoria robbery and said he and his companions had disposed of the loot before they started on the grocery job. With all that's happened to Barnes in the last twelve hours, it appears that. Peoria authorities will have to wait for him until Indianapolis courts dispose of the new case.

‘RUSHING GROWLER IS OUT,' DECLARES FRY Draught Beer Devotees Can Not Drink at Home. Devotees of draught beer henceforth must do their imbibing in a restaurant or in a bar. as result of a ruling by Beer Czar Paul P. Fry. Not only does the ruling prevent the renewing of tnat one-time favorite occupation—“rushing the growler"—but it also prevents sale of beer in kegs to the home. Thus, the only route by which home consumers may receive their portion of the foaming suds is via bottles. Fry's ruling prohibiting the carrying out of draught beer or its delivery at the home, came as a surprise, as previous Intimation had been given that the old custom would be permitted. The decision followed a conference with Attorney-General Philip Lutz Jr., MAKES FACES AT DOG: BOY’S TONGUE BITTEN Painful Experience May Teach Lesson to Bluffton Youth. flj/ I'nitftl I'rmn BLUFFTON, Ind., Aug. 19.—A dog bit Raymond Mossburg's tongue* when he made faces at the canine here.
