UNIFORM RETAIL STORE HOURS ARE APPROVED Ludlow Says NRA Official Favors Move of City Operators. Indianapolis retailers advocating uniform hours for city stores under NRA were neartened today by a letter from Washington giving passive approval of their fight to set maximum hours. L. F. Shuttleworth, president of the Associated Retailers of Indiana, announced that he had received a letter from Representative Louis Ludlow stating that while there was no way to force stores to close at certain hours the NRA approved uniform closing horns if that seemed the sentiment of an overwhelming majority of store owners in a community. Ludlow stated that A T. Whiteside. national deputy recovery administrator, "not only had no objection to a plan for uniform closing hours under such conditions, but approved the plan." Awaits Confirmation

Francis Wells, Indiana NRA representative, declared that he, too, would indorse the plan upon receipt of official confirmation from Washington. Wells reiterated that while there was no way in which the local NRA could enforce the closing of retail stores at certain hours, it would be considered evidence of good will toward NRA if they accepted uniform hours, providing that such hours were not less than those prevailing prior to July’ 16. "It should be borne in mind that re-employment is only one of the major objectives of the recovery act." Ludlow stated in his letter. "Stabilization is equally important." Dissension on hours arose among local retail stores when a majority of the grocery stores, including most of the large chain stores sought to j establish a sixty-eight-hour week. 1 Fruit Dealers Object This w-as objected Jo by other storekeepers, particularly fruit deal- j ers, who protested that most of their business was done after 4 p. m. With receipt of 1.200 additional signed employers agreements today, I Wells declared that Indiana was about 75 per cent subscribed The total number today is 65.000 agreements out of a possible 85.000, he stated. J. A. Fortner, manager of the Indianapolis division of Phillips Petroleum Company, announced today that under the NRA the company has added 204 new employes for warehouse, service station and office personnel. The exact number of non-com-plying firms in the state is diffi- j cult to estimate, according to Wells, j who stated that from figures based , on financial ratings and department of commerce records. Indiana j should have between 80,000 and 90,000 potential employers subject j to NRA regulations. Tabulations compiled by Indian- ! apolis NRA workers revealed that 4.107 Indianapolis business firms have employed 5.894 new employes and have added $114,266.05 to weekly pay rolls since the start of NRA. Reports from these workers also showed that 67.733 Indianapolis; housewives and other consumers have signed pledges to only deal with "blue eagle" firms. To date, ‘ 14.828 unemployed men and 5.579 unemployed women have been found in city homes visited by the NRA field workers. Get All Holidays In a ruling received from NRA Washington headquarters Friday, it was announced that employes will; get the advantage of all legal holi- 1 days. Employes on a fixed w’eeklv i basis are permitted to have the holiday without having to make up the time later. Another ruling provides that a company finding that the code already signed works too great a hard- ! ship upon the business, first must submit its problem to the trade association. If the association agrees that a hardship is too great, it must make its application for exceptions to the blanket code to Washington. While awaiting action from Washington. the firm must display a white bar bearing the word "Provisional" over its Blue Eale. Authorization of a 10 per cent I increase in all wages and salaries up to $2,500 a year, was announced Friday by Robert A Mac Gill. Indiana manager of the Crane company. distributors of plumbing supplies. 55 in City Benefit Fifty-five employes in the Indianapolis office of the company and about 100 in the state will benefit by j the increase, according to Mac Gill. About 14.000 employes will be affected nationally. C. W. Manville. Indiana division manager of the Shell Petroleum Corporation, announced that the oil company has placed 245 new employes on the pay roll since the start of the NRA program. Service station department of the company added 205 employes; ac- ! counting department, 3; bulk plant department. 36. and garage department, anew employe, to make up the of 245 new men.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

HOME GARDENS FAIR_FEATURE Results of Jobless Relief Program Shown in Exhibits. Community, industrial and organized home gardens, which are being conducted throughout Indiana this year as a major part of the statewide unemployed relief program, are featured in an exhibit at the state fair, arranged by H. E. Young of Purdue university who has general supervision of relief garden activities in the state. This exhibit, in the Purdue building, illustrates the extensive relief garden work of communities and industries, and presents a summary of the value of relief food produced in these organized gardens. Enlarged photographs of community gardens at Gary, Muncie, South Bend, Brazil, Kokomo, Goshen, Vincennes, Indianapolis and Anderson are shown, together with those of extensive industrial gardens of half a dozen industries. On charts are listed nearly a hundred other communities engaged in organized garden activities and some forty industries sponsoring gardens for more than 12,500 industrial employes. Young pieces the total value of relief garden food in Indiana this season at approximately $3,000,000,000, nearly 50 per cent larger than last year, despite adverse weather conditions. This increase largely is due to the fact that acreage in relief gardens this season has been more than double that of last year.

CODE TO OPEN NEW ERA FOR UNIONMINERS Peace Treaty to Be Handed President on His Return Next Week. BY FRED H. KURY Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.—A peace treaty for capital and labor in the coal industry, with many new personal privileges for miners, will be , ready for President Roosevelt when he steps ashore from the yacht Nourmahal here Monday night or Tuesday morning. These liberties, which meant a mans job prior to NRA, come after hard-fought battles of their leaders, led by John Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers; Phillip Murray, international vice-president; and Pat Fagan, president of district No. 3. To gain them, the union men have given up one of their weapons, the checkoff system of collecting union dues from the employers. Details of their victories were revealed today. Although the code can not be quoted until it is approved by the President, it has been learned from indisputable authority that it will contain provisions to eliminate the coal and iron police, whose operations are bloody chapters in the history of coal. Company House Evil Ended Also out will go the operatorhired deputy sheriffs. The code as now written also provides that miners need no longer live in company houses to work in the coal fields. Deduction of rent from the pay envelopes that sometimes contained no money at all, and many times showed the worker owed the operator a deficit at the end of a two-week period also 'will disappear. In the future a miner can live where he chooses. No longer will his bed and board be the choice | weapons of the operators, for the New Deal provides that he can not! be required to buy in company | stores, w’here the prices for the | meager fare of “sowbelly and hominy” kept the average miner in j virtual peonage. Child labor must disappear en- j tirely from the coal fields. The miner of the future will not j be in a position to boast that he went into-the pits at the age of 12 ; or 14 to labor in the sputtering ! glare of a carbide lamp under con- | ditions that made him an old man before he was 35. Age Limit Is 18 Under the code no one will be able to work below the surface before he is 18. The “trapper boy,” the stable boy, and the child loader or miner will have disappeared as | soon as the coal code becomes effec- \ tive.

Another feature is that the miner must be paid in coin of the realm—not scrip, which formed a great total of the currency put into the pay envelopes of miners, particularly in the western Pennsylvania fields. If he did earn a surplus over his “store bill” and rent charges, the miner of the past Was kept in bondage by scrip acceptable only at company stores, where charges often were 30 to 60 per cent higher than ; the prevailing cash prices on the most necessary commodities. As the pick, shovel, black powder, carbide, and other necessities of the trade are furnished by the miners in some instances, they also were sold at exorbitant prices by company stores. This also is eliminated in the new code. Checkoff Is Eliminated Universal recognition of the checkweighman, the man who weighs each miner’s output at the pit mouth, now becomes a fact. Under the code, the check-weighman no longer will be a “company man,” but elected by the miners themselves, and paid by the company, to assure full credit for product of their labors. Officials of the miners’ union, on the other hand, have sacrificed their claims to the famous “checkoff” system. That was the plan where the miner’s dollar a month dues to the United Mine Workers was deducted from the envelopes and paid in bulk to the local labor organization leaders. In the future, the support of the miners’ union will be left solely in the hands of those who voluntarily pay at the end of each month. All these new privileges will come to the miners coincidental with the celebration of Labor day. MIDGET CAR WRECKED Negro Driver and His Automobile Plunge Over Fence When Hit.

Francesco De Pinedo, Air Ace of Italy, Is Killed

Famed Aviator Perishes as Plane Crashes and Burns in N. Y. BY DELOS SMITH United Press Staff Correspondent FLOYD BENNETT FIELD. NEW i YORK, Sept. 2.—The spectacular I career of Francesco de Pinedo, j daring aviator, ended in a burst of flames today, when his Bellanca monoplane crashed as he was taking off on a non-stop solo flight to ; Bagdad. The famous Italian pilot had launched his heavily loaded plane i down the concrete runway at 7:01 !a. m. It attained a terrific speed, j then began swerving under its ! cargo of 1,027 gallons of gasoline. | Once it left the runway, but De j Pinedo, without decreasing his speed, brought it back. An instant later, it lurched off its j course again. De Pinedo strove j mightily to bring it back, but had ! lost control. The plane missed the | administration building, where a number of spectators were gathered on the plaza, and crashed against a steel fence. There was a flash of flame as the gasoline caught fire. Stumbles from Plane Spectators raced across the field, almost certain De Pinedo could not have survived, but hopeful that j some miracle had saved him. Because of his reputation as an expert flier, no precautions had been taken and only the fire extinguisher of Machinist Mate Michael H. Beach, who had trailed him down the runway on a motorcycle, was available. Watchers on the plaza saw the i big plane sideswipe the fence, its propeller still roaring. De Pinedo | slipped out of the cabin. The plane, its speed undiminished, struck the fence again, turned over on its back and, its propeller still roaring, burst into flames. For an instant, watchers saw De Pinedo staggering around the machine. He crumpled 25 feet away. The gasoline tanks caught fire and blotted all from view. Beach attempted to use his fire extinguisher, but was driven back. The left side of his face was burned. For Honor of Italy De Pinedo’s latest project was for the honor of Italy, which he had honored through many daring and spectacular flights, and Benito Mussolini, who forced his retirement from the Italian air service after his successful flight over four continents. “This is an adventure to see whether I am growing old,” he laughingly told friends a few minutes before the .fatal takeoff. He was 43 years old, -repeatedly had faced danger, had reached heights of glory few men attain, and then was demoted to air attache at Buenos Aires by il duce. De Pinedo’s star in Fascist Italy was eclipsed and sent into decline by the rising star of Air Marshal Italo Balbo.

Goes to Exile

But while De Pinedo was in favor, his climb was rapid. He flew from Rome to Tokio and Melbourne, Australia, and back. Then he flew from Italy to South and North America and back to Rome. He was acclaimed Italy’s greatest air hero. He was made a general and chief of staff. Soon afterward he was relieved without explanation and sent to Buenos Aires. Reports said he had aroused the enmity, perhaps the jealousy, of his chief, Balbo. DIES IN HOTEL PLUNGE Brilliant Dartmouth Student Falls From Seventh Floor.

Friday afternoon, while being taken in a state police car to the statehouse, preparatory to returning to prison to serve out his un- , expired term, Goldstein was ob- : served by patrolman Oscar Burkett to be fumbling with his handcuffs. Investigating, Burkett discovered the key. After a little ‘lecture” by Captain Matt Leach on the error of his ways, Goldstein was taken on to Michigan City under heavy guard. His pal, Clifford Mohler, who won j a parole when he simulated the appearance of a tuberculosis sufferer by drinking shellac in prison, today was to be taken to Kentucky to face charges in connection with robbery of a Gravel Switch (Ky.) bank, j which, state police say, Mohler admits. * |
