SCHOOL BOARD AT ODDS WITH TRADES CRAFTS Unions Call Lockout Over Controversy on Two Wage Demands. Friction between union fraf’s and the Indianapolis school citv which flared several months ago. when craftsmen employed by the board staged a two-week walkout, ha<- been revived, with anew “walkout of union plumbers and fiteamfitter.s Tlie trouble has resulted in an almost open break with the unions by the board which adopted the policy of hiring men and not unions.” Tli - dissension has brought reports that union organizations may unite next year in putting out a slate of candidates tor 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 and steamfitters' busin* s 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 cents an hour, which the board has b< *-n paying them for many months, to the union scale of si. 12 s . The 80-cent figure formerly was the union scale for repair work, but since has been abandoned, leaving $l 12 ! .. 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 employ and by the board, who participated in the walkout three montlis ago. have forfeited their 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 cents or 80 cents an hour than oc- ; casional work at higher rates,” ex- 1 plained A. B Good, school business director. The school board stand is dicta ted by economy.” he added. “With our budget seriously curtailed, we can't afford to pay union scales, I which are fixed on a seasonal em- ; ployment 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 carpenters were notified by union officials that they must demand the scale or walk out. but they decided 1 to remain on the job. All But Two Continue After the walkout three months ago. all out. 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 contractors. "The whole situation in a nut- ! shell." Good said, “is that board re- ] fust's to recognize the unions, hiring i men instead of unions, but that it ! is glad to use union men. if they are willing to work for the board scale.”

‘Most Beautiful Ship Afloat’ Is Sent to Doom in Cuban Gale

Famous Barque, Last of Her Type. Sinks With 12 on Board. NEW YORK Aug. 19 —ln Sailors' Sr.ug 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 off Cuba with a crew of twelve—Captain Cipnano 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 sea 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, w. io.se photos as she rounded Sandy Hook on her last voyage are the only available pictures of her, "matched the rhythm of the sea. Your marine architects draw practical plans of a ship that will float and sail. Only a seaman can Ladd a craft Ike 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 liad Charm and Grandeur But the Guadalhorce had charm 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 w’ind.” 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 a crass 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 Grare Part of her grace as she rolled against the horizon was due to her masts; the mainmast ran some fifteen feet above her foremast and mizzen. Usually, three-masted barques, as Noble points out. have each mast' set the same length, which makes j the lines of a vessel squat against i 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 j handled dirks. She was bound from Las Palmas I to Jacksonville w’hen she foundered. A proper graveyard for the old vessel. Falls from Tree! Breaks Wrist Fall from an apple tree in the 3300 block.

WARREN TWP. TAXSLASHED Reduction of 19 Cents Is Effected From Former Rate of sl.ll. A slash of 19 cents on each SIOO of taxable property on the 1934 levy of Warren township was effected Friday by Charles M. Walker, town- , ship trustee. Indications are that toty, school city, and county tax levies will be increased. The Warren township rate was reduced from sl.ll to 92 cents, and this figure will raise $101,495.83 for township expenses, according to Walker. As the first government taxing unit of the county to report a tax reduction for next year. Warrens feat was accomplished despite a sharp reduction in property valuations. The 1934 budget shows a reduction in expenses from $116,951 to $101,495. No provision was made for a poor relief fund, as this will be financed .through federal government loans The levies will be divided as follows: Special school. 45 cents; bond. 23 cents; tuition. 22 cents, and township. .02 cents. Taxable property of the township totals $24,576,800.

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 Barnes to headquarters. The telegram named two other men who had fied 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. SERVICE BOARD RULE DEPENDENT ON NRA Rail Agencies Can Be Abandoned If L\ S. Doesn’t Disapprove.

LABOR FORMING ON ALL FRONTS Garment Workers Unite to Get Maximum From NRA Program. BY RI'TH FINNEY Times Special Writer WASHINGTON. Aug. 19. Organized labor consolidated its forces today in unprecedented fashion in order to obtain maximum benefits under the recovery program. Announcement by William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, that United Garment Workers and Amalgamated Clothing Workers had reached an understanding "which terminates the jurisdictional controversy, which heretofore divided the two organizations into two separate groups," forecast developments which may change the whole complexion of the organized labor movement in this country. Predictions were made today that Amalgamated Clothing Workers, with its membership of more than 100.000, soon will be a part of the American Federation of Labor, with its president, Sidney Hillman, on the executive council of the federation. Such a development would open up a series of interesting possibilities. all of which seem to forecast a more liberal and aggressive policy in the A. F. of L. Amalgamated Clothing Workers broke off from United Garment Workers years ago. and has developed into the most powerful non-affiliated labor group in the country, and the most liberal.
