WORKS BOARD ATTEMPTS TO AVERT STRIKE Sanitary Plant Budget May Be Crippled as Result of Labor Trouble. Members of the Works Board today were confronted with the dual problem of averting a strike without crippling the budgeted funds of the sanitary department. C. K Calvert, city sanitary superintendent, told the board members that a threat of a strike had placed the board in a position where it would be compelled to ay off city employes in the district if union men are hired and union wages paid for the installation of 32 new digesters in the garbage reduction plant. On the other hand Mr. Calvert pointed out* that unless only union men are employed a strike will be called. He declared that the January pay roll of the sanitary department could not be met if the union scale for pipefitters and the demands of the Marion County Building Trades Council were acceded to. Board Can’t Decide Works Eoard members say they can not decide whether the strike or the financial tangle which would be caused by a reduced operating budget wouid result in greater difficulties for the department. They explain that if union workers, employed by private contractors, walk out on the $500,000 Federal expansion project at the disposal plant that the garbage reduction system will not be in operation before next spring. Henry B. Steeg, City Engineer, estimates that every month that the garbage reduction plant is not working the city loses S3OOO in revenue. He told board members that if new units are' installed without labor trouble the reduction plant should be functioning by the middle of next month. Cost Kept Down In order to save money, regular plant maintenance men, employed by the city, have been installing the new digestors as fast as they arrive from Chattanooga, Tenn. Union leaders, led by Charles Lutz, state representative, want this work done by outside union men. Mr. Calvert admitted that Indian- * apolis has the lowest labor cost in the sanitary plants of any of the major cities in the United States. “If w r e hadn't been able to keep this cost down,” he said, “the taxpayers would find an added burden placed upon them.’’ SON IS BORN TO DUKE AND DUCHESS OF KENT Britons Hail Child, Seventh in of Succession to Throne.

CHAPTER FIVE < Continued) “Well, It turned out to be quite a lot," said Glenn. “Or I should say that we hope it’ll turn out to be qi t a lot. You see, I got off a report to the head office in Washington at once, and I inclosed that bit about the missing finger, of course. It was the only definite description of any of these men that I had. “Now here's where the Division of Investigation is really valuable. They’ve got more records down there in Washington than you can shake a stick at. They've got millions of fingerprints—literally millions—classified in every conceivable way. They've got every criminal record they've been able to lay hands on They've got descriptions, fingerprints, photographs, and so on of just about every known crook in the United States, and all are classified so that you can look ’em up in almost any way you can think of. “Look, now. All we knew was that here was a bank robber who was minus the index finger on his left hand. Now among other ways of classification, they have all the crooks of whom they have any record classified according to deformities, injuries, scars, and so on. “So somebody down there takes this meager little description of ours and starts riffling through his cards. After about an hour, he discovers that there are in the United States exactly four men with criminal records who lack that particular finger. He got their cards out and had a look. a a tt “/~VNE of them is a safe-cracker who is now right in the middle of a 10-year stretch in the Massachusetts state prison. That let him out as far as this job was concerned, of course. The second was a Chicago racketeer who got put on the spot and killed with a

S load of slugs from a sawed-off shotgun just two months ago. The third was a fake oil stock promoter who did a stretch in Atlanta prison and get out two years ago. He's living in Florida now. It took one of our men from the Miami office just half a day to prove that he hasn’t been within 500 miles of tills Neola bank j for eight months. “That left us with just one man. He’s a bird named Lewis—Wingy Lewis, they call him, due apparently to the fact that he got ‘winged' cnce by a bullet in some saloon fight or other and thereby lost this telltale index finger. Now this Wingy Lewis used to be a confidence man out west, a year or so ago he's beI lieved to have joined the bank-rob-bing mob of the notorious Red Jackson.” Hagan nodded thoughtfully. There was no need for Larry to tell him who Red Jackson was—Red Jackson, a desperate criminal wanted ; for more crimes than could be named in one breath, who roamed all across the country in a way that left city and state police forces utterly helpless and who glorified in the title of “Public Enemy No. 1.” No, there was no need to tell Hagan or any one else who Red Jackson was. “So,” resumed Larry, “you see where that gets us. It indicates, to begin with, that this job was the work of Red Jackson’s gang. It gives us an avenue of approach to the case. Instead of just having a missing finger to go on, we’ve a name, a photograph, a set of fingerprints, and so on.” “Did you show this Wingy guy’s photos to the bank people?” asked Hagan. “Os course. They identified it, but in a rather hesitant and uncertain way. Honestly, they were all so jittery that I’m not at all sure that ; their identification would stand up l in court. There's a perfectly good

chance, of course, that our fourfinger bandit is someone we never heard of before—some one that never got arrested and consequently has no record at Washington. But we’re working on probabilities, and so far the probabilities seem to point in the direction of Red Jackson's outfit.” “Well, that makes it all very simple,” drawled Hagan with a grin. "All you've got to do now’ is round up Red Jackson.” tt tt tt IARRY grinned ruefully. “Yeah j —simple, isn’t it?” he asked. “The gang has dropped out of sight. Nobody knows where they hang out. The fact of the matter undoubtedly is, of course, that they keep drifting about from one part of the country to another. They used to hang out in Chicago, but according to the best information we can get they haven't been there in months. That Neola holdup makes it look as if they're working their way East through the Middle West, but we’ve nothing more to go on. “But I have got this much of a lead. It seems that about six months ago our friend Wingy became smitten with the charms of one Evelyn Brady, featured, in a

by Robert Bruce O 1935 NEA Service, (nc. has more or less resolved itself into a hunt for Evelyn, so I've been making inquiries. Until recently, I could find no trace of the girl. Then, a week ago, I got transferred. They put me in charge of the regional office here in Dover. I no sooner got settled here than I bethought me that one of the burlesque houses in this city is on the circuit which our friend Evelyn once adorned with all her girlish beauty.” (To Be Continued)
