He said shop committees would confer with plant officials about the | alleged layoffs. Approximately 11,000 men today were working in the Guide Lamp and Delco Remy plants. | It was reported here today that martial law may be lifted at the end of the week providing there are no more disturbances. Pool rooms and taverns were permitted to reopen today but loitering was forbidden. Milton Siegel, Indianapolis attorney who obtained the order that Col. Whitcomb overruled, declared that “the Colonel doesn't know the law.” “The right to a writ of habeas corpus and its inviolability is guaranteed by the Constitution,” Mr. Siege! said. “You can’t deprive a man of his constitutional rights by a mere martial law declaration.” The 17 union men have been ved incommunicado since their arrest | Saturday and Monday. They presumably were arrested in connection with a shooting afirayv early Saturday at a local tavern. Two | union men were wounded seriously | and now are in St. John's Hospital, The shooting led the Governor to declare martial law.

the bill to provide for a proposed | State Aeronautics Commission with | powers to regulate flying fiel aviators. Seventy-five state pilots and airport managers flew to Indianapolis last night and the bill was unnecessary. Most of the “local” bills of the Marion County delegation already have been introduced. The two latest measures of this type now before Senate committees propose creation of a State Flood Control Commission to regulate Indianapolis streams and revision of the Indianapolis Police Pension Law.

Arbitration Proposed

Broad powers to arbitrate industrial disputes are provided in the | Labor Division Bill reported out by the House Labor Committee with a minor change. Appeals from cecisions of the Commissioner, the Division's administrative head. could be taken to Superior or Circuit Courts. An emergency clause may be inserted in this Senate-apnroved bill before it is brought to a final House vote, it was said. Upon passage. the Division assumes authority in present labor troubles, The House 1s prompt approval sponsored by the

and the State Federation of Labor,

A companion measure also was favorably reported to the House today. It provides for semi-month-lv or weekly payment of wages by | all employers and state supervision of wage and salary collections. Discharged employees would receive their pay within 72 hours.

Printing Measure Favored

Public printing could be let only to printers paying prevailing wages under terms of a third Labor Bloc bill reported cut. Two amendments made to the Pari-Mutuel Bill in committee pro- | pose to increase the State's receipts from betting pools from 3 to 4 per cent and decrease “profit” of track operators to 10 per cent. This bill is opposed by clergymen, club women and business men, who claim it would increase crime and injure business. The Governor whether legalize betting if passed. “Any bill which would allow betting on races which would be passed bv the Legislature would be disappointing to me.” he said.
