M’NUTT TAKES ACTION TO BAR UTILITY STRIKE Indiana Would Be Paralyzed by Walkout, Statement Points Out. MEDIATION IS ORDERED Board of Three to Hear Dispute to Be Named Tomorrow. Governor Paul V. McNutt today Issued a statement in connection with the appointment of a threernan mediation board to be named omorrow in an attempt to settle the Existing controversy between union employes of the Public Service Company of Indiana, the Northern Indiana Power Company and affiliated companies and operators. The Governor's action in providing for mediation forestalled a strike of union electrical workers which would have effected more than 831 Indiana communities, including Indianapolis. The walkout had been called for last night by Irwin Knott, business agent of Local No. 9, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Chicago. Governor McNutt's statement follows: ‘ My proclamation for calling off the threatened state-wide utility strike, and agreeing to name a board of mediation was issued principally in the interest of the people of Indiana. My chief concern was to prevent a denial of electric and gas service to more than a third of the people of the state, to prevent interruption of public water supply, to prevent any interference with regular power deliveries to Indiana industries. Drastic Results Pictured “A state-wide utility strike would have darkened more than 200.000 homes by shutting off electricity; it would have taken cooking and water heating fuel (gas) from 105.000 homes; such a strike would have shut off water supplies in many communities, thus creating fire and sanitary hazards whirh would have been dangerous in addition to denywater to homes; a strike of that kind would have closed down hundreds of Indiana industries thereby throwing thousands of people out of work, a state-wide utility shutdown might have shut off water, elec- i tricity and gas supplies in many hospitals, thus endangering human lives; street railway and interurban service would have been handicapped, maybe stopped. That kind of a strike would have paralyzed business in Indiana and would have made living conditions untenable in at least one-third of the state. Such a catastrophe would have been unthinkable.” In calling for the strike. Mr. Knott charged that two 10 per cent pay cuts and a reduction in working hours, suffered by the employes, had been made for the purpose of lowering the utility rates and protecting interests of preferred stockholders. For five months, Mr. Knott said, he endeavored to reach an agreement with the companies. He asked for the union, whose members include technical department workers, specific wage increases for 238 workers, time and a half for overtime. double time for Sundays, traveling expenses for line crews and other minor changes in working conditions. McNutt Aid Sought Yesterday, dissatisfied with the results of a conversation with John N. Shannahan. president of the Public Service Company of Indiana, Mr. Knott went to Governor McNutt's office with Judge Hugh M. Morris. Wilmington. Del., co-trustee with Mr. Shannahan of the Midland United Company, holding company for the Public Service Company of Indiana. Governor McNutt was in Winamac, but Mr. Knott conferred with his secretary. John Klinger, and Alvin C- Johnson, deputy attorneygeneral. until the Governor was reached by phone. The Governor s conversation w - ith Mr. Knott resulted in the order for the appointment of a mediation board. Mr. Knott emphatically stated that the board, as far as he is concerned, is only a fact-finding group whiqh would have a reasonable time in tfhich to meet and wwk out the difficulties between the workers and the companies. He said hd is entirely satisfied with the Governor’s plan and will leave it up to him. If no solution is forthcoming, Mr. Knott indicated, another strike call will be issued which, he said, will involve about ”1.200 of the 3.283 workers of the two companies." “It's riot my funeral,” said Mr. Knott. “Unless the companies find the money with which to meet our demands. I'm tying up the whole state. I am not a financier. I can't tell them where to get it. but I can tell them that they'd better find it somewhere and find it quick.” Not so outspoken was the statement issued by Mr. Shannahan following the Governor s decision. Said Mr. Shannahan: Oatlines Company Stand "Through our negotiations with Mr Knott our paramount point was to keep utility service uninterrupted. To accomplish this we are willing to submit our dispute to arbitration. The action of Governor McNutt in appointing a board to study the problem has forestalled a state-wide strike, and therefore is most satisfactory' to all involved. “Compliance with the demands." added Mr. Shannahan, "would add $300,500 a year to the companies’ operating expenses; for, although Mr. Knott asked for wage increase for only 236 of 2.883 employes, it would be necessary to extend the raise to all. These companies now are operating under the NR A and Urn President s agreement."

A. &P. Strike Truce Is Studied by U. S. Board Peaceful Settlement Looms as Possibility as Cleveland Rivals Meet in Washington Parley. By l nited Press WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.—Peaceful settlement of the serious Cleveland chain store labor dispute developed as a possibility today when both sides to the controversy held preliminary' conferences before meeting with the national labor relations board.

The natonal labor board members appeared determined to force a showdown at today's conference to prevent threatened spread of the chain store labor troubles through Ohio and Wisconsin. Immediate arbitration was viewed as necessary if President Roosevelt's industrial truce plans are not to be snagged by perhaps a nation-wide labor struggle involving the A. & P.. and other chain stores. From high sources, the United Press learned that a determination of the number of chain store employes actually holding union cards in Cleveland not only is desired but will be urged by the management. At present, Cleveland executives of the A. & P. said they have no idea of the number of those workers in Cleveland A. & P. stores who have union affiliations. If an election is agreed to it was believed that arbitration will be facilitated. In other labor uprisings, the national labor relations board, using its executive powers, has called an election to determine representation of employes for collective bargaining, it appeared likely that such a step might be taken to counteract the Cleveland crisis. Prior to closing of more than 300 A. p. stores in Cleveland, employes sought a virtual “closed shop.” demanding “100 per cent unionism.” Officias Deny Charges By l nilrd Press CLEVELAND. Oct. 30—Charges that the Cleveland police department caused the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company to abandon its business here by failing to protect the company's property during labor troubles, were denied emphatically today by city officials. Mayor Harry L. Davis, who had abandoned local efforts to bring agreement between the A. & P. and union labor and rested on hope that the national labor board could effect a settlement, said “every possible” police protection was afforded the company. Mayor Davis read a statement by John Hartford. A. <fc P. president, to the effect that the company had been forced to close its stores and throw 2.200 employes out of work because municipal authorities stood by and let pickets destroy food supplies, and said it emphatically was untrue.” The big chain store company, which preferred to withdraw from an area that was grossing $80,000,000 a year rather than submit to organized labor's demand for a closed shop, today went seadily about the task of dismantling its huge organization here.

Oct. 30.—American hope for unequivocal British support against Japanese demands for naval equality seemed quashed today. British naval delegates made it plain to the Americans at their meeting yesterday, it was learned, that they oppose Japan's demands for “global” allotment of naval tonnage as firmly as does the United States. But both Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald and Sir John Simon, foreign minister, it is known, showed decidedly more readiness than the United States to recognize the principle of Japanese equality.

SIR CHARLES TO DELAYTAKEOFF Los Angeles, San Francisco Battle for Right to Greet Flier. By United Press HONOLULU, T. H., Oct. 30— Sir Charles Kingsford-Smith, Australian flier blazing new transoceanic trails, found himself in the middle of a hot controversy today between two California areas seeking to be the first to see “The Lady Southern Cross” on completion of the west-to-east trans-Pacific flight. Shortly after arriving here yesterday, concluding a 3,100-mile flight from the Fiji Islands, the Australian announced he would remain here for several days awaiting more favorable weather and then would take off “for Los Angeles.” His decision aroused a storm of protests in the San Francisco bay area, from which he had set out in 198 in making his east-to-west crossing from California to Australia. They, too, had arranged, receptions in his honor and had planned a civic welcome, cablegrams received here said. The aviator indicated that weather conditions probably will make it necessary for him to fly to Los Angeles. “The weather people tell me there’s a bad storm sweeping down from Alaska and if I head for San Francisco I may bump into it,” read one of the cablegrams sent Californiaward. “It may all depend on how the weather is when I take off.”

The New Deal will roll up a tremendous majority in the New York state elections next Tuesday, Senator Wagner declared. “Yesterday, I completed a speaking tour in behalf of the Democratic ticket in New York that took me to every section of New York state,” Senator Wagner asserted. “There will be an overwhelming victory in New York for the New Deal. I am confident we will achieve a greater victory next Tuesday than we had two years ago.” A committee of distinguished Indiana Democrats, including Senator Frederick Van Nuys, awaited Senator Wagner at union station. Senator Wagner, who had telegraphed a request that no extensive program of reception be arranged, eluded the committee and went to the Claypool. There, fifteen minutes later, the committee found the New York ally of collective bargaining and former chairman of the President’s labor board busy unpacking his luggage. Senator Wagner laughed as Senator Van Nuys, heading the Indianapolis committee, marched into his room. Here to Bark Minton “You wouldn’t follow my request, would you?” Senator Wagner remarked when his colleague explained the committee had missed him at the station. Pressed for a statement regarding the Indiana political situation, Senator Wagner declared: “I have come out here to speak for Sherman Minton, not to speak against any one. I will touch upon the political conditions in my address this evening.” Senator Wagner definitely declined to discuss Senator Arthur R. Robinson’s record in the senate. Sherman Minton was among the members of the reception committee, headed by State Senator Jacob Weiss.

15INSULL AIDS ASK ACQUITTAL Deposed Magnate and Son Only Defendants Willing to Abide by Jury. By United Pres* CHICAGO, Oct, 30.—Fifteen codefendants with Samuel Insull and his son on charges of swindling a half-million investors fought with genuine hope of success today for directed verdicts of acquittal. Federal Judge James H. Wilkerson announced he would rule on the motions immediately. Caught almost napping by sudden and unexpected completion of the government's case yesterday, the majority of defendants rallied to an immediate assault on evidence against them. Only the 74-year-old chief defendant and his son, Samuel Insull Jr., stood aloof from the rush to avoid the hazards of a jury verdict. The senior Insull, who says that his personal fortune of hundreds of millions was lost like those of his investors in the crash of his utility chain, explained through his attorney that he desires to get “the story of his innocence” into court records. “Mr. Insull is anxious to get on the witness stand and defend himself,” said Floyd E. Thompson, chief of counsel. HAUPTMANN ALONE SAYS Kidnaping 'One-Man Job,’ Prosecutor Believes. By United Press FLEMING, N.

Lewis Raker, Ernest Blunk and Two Others Are Seized by Police for Questioning on Orders of Assistant Attorney-General. BARCE IS 'ON SPOT,’ TIMES LEARNS Two Gang Murders Directly Traceable to Delivery, Newspaper Man Is Informed on Highest Authority. BY ARCH STEINEL Times Staff Writer CROWN POINT, Ind.. Oct. 30.—Four men, including two employes of the Lake county jail, were taken into custody here today and whisked to some secluded place in Indiana for questioning in the notorious “wooden gun” escape of John Dillinger from the jail, March 3. The men were awakened early this morning and led from their homes by state police details, operating under Edward Barce, Indianapolis, assistant attorney-general, and Detective Sergeant Sandor Singer, Hammond, .Air. Barce’s chief investigator in the attempt to determine the blame for the jail break. Reports which could not be confirmed said that six others had been seized with them as witnesses, and reporters

saw an unidentified woman in one of the cars in which Mr. Barce, Sergeant Singer and the state police whirled south out of Lake county. The four “detained” by Mr. Barce are: , Lewis Raker, warden in (he Lake county jail. Ernest Blunk. deputy sheriff and finger print expert there. Harvey Reiser, Crown Point saloon owner. Dennis M. (Arehie) Dunn, Reiser's father-in-law. It is understood that at least two of them will be charged with conspiracy to aid in the escape of a prisoner charged with a capital felony. Efforts of reporters to follow the cars containing the investigators, police and “prisoners” were unavailing when the greater speed of the police automooiles allowed them to outdistance the newspaper cars. It was thought at first that the four were being taken to Indianapolis. but, when they failed to arrive there within a reasonable time and when statehouse officials there professed ignorance of Mr. Barce's whereabouts, it was presumed that the four were being “grilled” secretly some place where no one could interfere. The picking up of the four and hints of murder in connection with the investigation, caused considerable indignation in Crown .Point. No Evidence, Says Estill Robert G. Estill, the prosecutor who had his picture taken with his arms arouwd Dillinger's shouldgrs, said there was no evidence to justify the action. He added that no warrants had been issued for any arrests and that no special grand jury action was contemplated. Criminal Judge William Murray, who appointed Blunk to his job and who was severely criticised some time ago by a grand jury lor his action in blocking Dillinger's transfer to the state prison, Michigan City, was openly derisive of the action after his office first had pretended it knew nothing about the “state police having tw s o of our men.” “I was going to issue a statement to the press,” snorted Judge Murray, first to notify Mr. Estill of the escape, “but I couldn't remember whether ‘lousy’ had one z, like in zebra, or two.” Two of the latest gang murders in troubled Lake county arc directly ! attributable to the jail delivery, The Indianapolis Times learned on highest authority. The men murdered “knew too much” about the escape, j in the opinion of underworld chiefs, and were “rubbed out,” lest they talk too much w’hile the “heat” w r as on The underworld’s interest in the , escape was great, The Times was j told, since the “payoff.” eventually a matter of only SI,BOO, was ar-

I ranged through the same vicious ring which controlled the bootleg liquor : racket in this county before prohibition and which still controls pros- | titution and gambling. Mr. Barce. whose life is said to have been threatened by the same mob which disposed of the two witnesses, was sent to Lake county j after the escape to investigate it ior Governor Paul V. McNutt. Gaboon Charges Dropped Weeks of investigation and presentation of evidence to a grand | jury resulted. April 3, in the indictment of Blunk and Sam Cahoon, I "trusty’’-guard. Blunk was acquitted and the charges against Cahoon were dropped. The grand jury and Judge Murray clashed over the report in which the judge, state officials and Lake county leaders were denounced. Then, when the excitement over | the case had died down to a large i extent, Mr. Barce returned to Lako :county. This time, he went ostensibly to j investigate the poor relief situation. He set up headquarters in the Indiana hotel, Hammond, and selected as his chief assistant Detective Sergeant Singer, a Republican. After weeks of running down false I clews. Sergeant Singer and Mr. Barce established that the alleged ! conspirators had held three meetings |in a saloon in • Crown Point, they said. From this point on rapid I progress was made in unraveling ihe inside story of the jail break. Attorney’s Name Mentioned The investigators learned that i Dillinger had felt that he should 1 be rescued by a mob operating from I the outside, but had been overruled 1 in this by a Chicago attorney, whose name frequently has been linked with Dillinger’s. This attorney believed, probably correctly, that such a sally would fail because of the | strength of the jail, around which | extra, heavily armed guards had been placed. It was understood that the unidentified woman with Mr. Barce | this morning might be an employe of the Chicago attorney. This was where Baker entered the | picture, the investigators say. He had been extremely close to Sheriff Holley's late husband when the latter was Lake county sheriff and Mrs. Holley had the utmost confidence in him, it is said here. When she remonstrated about the number of Dillinger’s friends who I were admitted to the jail and ex- | pressed anxiety as to whether they i were being searched. Baker told her |to trust him and said. “I’ll strip them to the skin,” according to the 1 investigators. There are said to have been | meetings at the saloon. These were i attended by the Chicago attorney, another man from his office, warden Baker and the third man now held, the investigators charge. Second Meeting Held At the first meeting, plans for the escape were made and Baker turned over to the attorney either the original blue prints of the jail floor layouts or copies of these prints, it is charged. At the same time, the attorney is said to have received blue prints of the courthouse. This, it is believed, was to prepare the way for a break from the courthouse during Diliinger’s trial for the murder of East Chicago’s Detective j Sergeant Pat O'Malley if anything went wrong with the plans for the escape from the jail itself. The second meeting of the alleged conspirators took place ten days be- | fore Dillinger’s escape, the investigators allege. Then, Baker received SI,BOO, it is I charged. The agreement is said to have j called for the payment of $3,000 in i all, but information held by the inj vestigators indicate, They say, that I the balance of $1,200 never was paid. Deputy Blunk s name is said to have entered the plotting at this : second meeting. He i.\ said to have known of the scheme, but Cahoon is said not to have. Mr. Barce and Sergeant Singer ! apparently believe that the money was paid in return for an alleged arrangement of jail personnel by Baker which made it easy for Dili linger to bluff his way out with the wooden gun and for Qte arrangement of the getaway car which ' Blunk is said to have driven,
