INDUSTRY TAKES FAR AWAY VIEW ON JOBREVIVAL Optimistic Think Upturn Will Not Take Place Until 1936. TM IndianipnlU DM irnnti th* la tlu> • •a lh nunl relief sltaatiaa prtpir*4 far Tfce Time* athrr Srrlaa* Howrd newpper*. BY ROBERT S. BROIVN WASHINGTON. Dec. 17. —WAi /T----ED: A Job! More than two million of the families on relief include at least one employable person. What is the prospect of this great army of workers getting back Into industry? The Scripps-Howard Newspapers have put this question to business leaders and relief officials in 24 representative cities. Forecasts differ, but there is one point of agreement —private industry will not revive overnight. Private capital has not lost hope. Quite to the contrary. But the • prosperity around the corner” optimism of 1930-31 has given way to a long range view. Industrialists are saying it will be

five years before capital can take up the unemployment slack. The most hopeful say “not before 1936.” “Those with money are afraid to do anything with it because they don’t know what the Government is going to do. I look for no appreciable pickup at least until next fall,” says J. F. Owens, president. Oklahoma Chamber of Commerce. William Hotlson, New York City Commissioner of Welfare, believes capital is willing to take risks only if the risks are measurable. ‘‘Three of the major industries in New York are now scraping bottom, and there is little prospect of improvement in the next six months,” Mr. Hodson said. "First is the construction industry, second is banking, finance and investment, and third the shipping trade.” Holiday Tirkup Noted An executive of the New York Merchants’ Assn, conceded a slight increase in retail business, but warned that the attendant gain in employment would be checked after the holidays. More optimism is shown in Indianapolis, where Mortimer C. Furscott of the Kahn Tailoring Cos. reports an improvement over a year ago and says his concern is employing more persons. A hopeful attitude also is noted in Knoxville and Memphis, where power from the Tennessee Valley Authority is expected to attract new industries. Present conditions in Knoxville are static, however, with unemployment resulting from completion of the new town of Norris, Tenn. In Memphis unemployment. shows a slight decline. There is a feeling that industry is beginning a sizable exodus southward. Birmingham Hopeful In Birmingham, the South's industrial capital, indications are that unemployment will rise ‘n the next two months. Birmingham depends largely on the heavy industries. San Diego, resort city of the southern California coast, has few industries and employment depends largely on tourist trade. The city Is planning a large southwestern exposition next year. About 1000 rew jobs have been created, with many more in prospect. Denver, too. bases its hope for an early upturn on next summer’s tourist trade, which the city hopes will bring $100,000,000 into Colorado. Some improvement has been shown by the mining industry. Construction of small homes also is looked to for ve-employment. Washington, lacking industry, looks to retail, domestic or Government employment to relieve relief rolls. The one hope held out by District Commissioner Allen is in a home building program. Cleveland Conditions Better Ohio has an enormous relief load. The industrial northern section suffered greatly from bank failures. Cleveland reports conditions more favorable than a year ago and sees hope for re-employment in the automobile industry's activity. B. C. Seiple, head of the Cleveland employment service, expects a real upturn after Jan. , althought the trend of employment, has oeen downward since May. with 29.500 fewer jobs available in November. Many “ifs” stand out. ’lf” Henry Ford meant what he said about his production schedule for 1935. thousands of workers in Cleveland, Youngstown. Toledo and Akron will get jobs. F. A. Seiberling. Seiberling Rubber Cos., Akron, sees some increase in employment in the next six months but believes it will take five years to take up the slack. Better prices for farm products and beef have aided Houston, Ft. Worth and El Paso and if continued will take a bite out of the present huge unemployment. I'pturn Expected In '36 Dr. Ralph J. Watkins, head of the Buteau of Business Research. University of Pittsburgh, says re-em-plovr ent will be slow because of the city's dependence on heavy industries. A '■’■eat reduction in unemployment in 1936 is predicted by bankets and industrialists. Buffalo, like Cleveland, would benefit from increased automobile manufacture. Replacement of obsolete cailrpad equipment would mean many jobs San Francisco business men say general business is in better position than last year. They expect a gradual upturn. That feeling is shared by leaders in Cincinnati, where the depression has never been felt as deeply as in other cities of the same size.

TIME SAVINGS INTEREST SET Two and One-Half Per Cent Maximum Return Is • * Ordered. Maximum interest rate of 2’i per cent on time savings deposits in state banks and trust companies, effective Feb. l, has been ordered by the state department of financial institutions. The department statement said it was not believed that most banks could pay that rate and that a majority of Indiana banks already have reduced their interest rate. The department will continue its past practice of setting regional regulations fixing a lower maximum when money conditions in that particular region warrant it. By lowering interest rates, the department hopes to curb the holding of speculative securities with which some institutions sought to earn enough to pay high interest rates.

BUSINESS CZARS MEET TC DRAFT NEWDEAL VIEW Strawn Takes Lead in Move for Adoption of Liberal Outlook. By United Prett WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W. Va., Dec. 17.—Efforts to swing American business and industry toward a more liberal view of the Administration's planned recovery program began today at a conference of economic leaders. Elements of controversy over unemployment, relief, labor disputes and the NRA cropped out almost as soon as the meeting started. The conference was called in an effort to form a united front for business and industry under the New Deal. A group pleading for concrete results and a definite program encountered the opposition of those who were urging a cautious approach to recovery problems. Strawn Takes Leadership Those seeking action argued that the time for temporizing was ended; that events had brought a situation where timidity must be abandoned in favor of definite commitments. Silas H. Strawn of Chicago, president of the United States Chamber of Commerce, quickly assumed a position of leadership among those looking for active results. Mr. Strawn is a recent convert to this school. The November elections convinced him it would be futile to hold out in unswerving opposition to the Roosevelt Administration. Mr. Strawn urged the conference to adopt a program which would strengthen President Roosevelt's hand in dealing with the new Congress, which convenes next month. This group believes business can obtain more through co-operation with the White House than through an independent attitude. Ames Named Chairman The work or organizing the 90 business leaders who are participating in the conference occupied the first hours. C. 2. Ames, chairman of the board of the Texas Company, New York, an organizer of the driving. effective type, was named chairman. Subcomittees were selected for specific discussion of agriculture, foreign trade, social security and relief, durable goods, Federal finance, transport, National Recovery Act, business financing and government competition. The conference, called by the United States Chamber of Com - merce and the .National Association of Manufacturers, after each organization had gone on record for increased co-operation with the Administration, brought to this mountain resort men who represent a cross-section of Americar. business and industrial life. Rivers Peterson, chairmen of Distribution and Service Trades Committee, Indianapolis, is among the industrial leaders in attendance.

LAWYERS URGE LEGISLATION TO AID CRIME WAR Attorneys Move to Strike Shackles From State Courts, Police. Legislation designed to strike the shackles from the hands of Indiana Criminal Courts and law enforcement agencies in the war on crime, today stood recommended by the Indiana State Bar Association following an eight-year study by Its committee on criminal jurisprudence. Meeting here, the association adopted recommendations submitted by a committee headed by Atty. Gen. Philip Lutz Jr. after rejecting an effort to have the body go on record as disapproving a report. of a subcommittee of a state commission on administration of justice. The Bar Association adopted proposals to enact a uniform criminal extradition act. uniform legislation to regulate sale and possession of machine guns and other procedural changes, including a requirement that the prosecution be advised <:>i alibi defenses at least five days in advance of trials. Such legislation, it was pointed out. would enable the state to investigate alibis. Also indorsed were: 1. An act permitting attorneys and the court to comment on the failure of the defendant to testify. 2. An act to permit the state to pay witness fees to nonresidents of the county. Thirteenth Juror Urfeed 3. An act permitting the state to pay expert witneses for their testimony. 4. An act to provide for a thirteenth juror to serve in the event of the inability of one of the regular jury to contmue to serve. 5.
