Although his bedroom window was about 50 feet from the burning horse barn, he received a blistered arm before he and his wife fled, saving only what clothes they could gather before they rushed from their home. Pet dogs were rescued from the blaze, Mr. Shroyer said he returned home about a half hour after the fire started. Remembering his two dogs upstairs, he climbed a ladder and whistled at the window. A bull terrier, Buttons, came to the window, and he carried it down the ladder. An Airedale was burned to death. Mr. Bell, fleeing from his blazing home, remembered his Boston bull terrier, Mitzi. He rushed back through the smoke and flames and found her asleep on the bed. He tried to rouse her, but she remained asleep, and he carried her to the street in his arms. Mr. Shroyer said his loss, including the barn and his residence, would come to approximately $15,000, part of which was covered by insurance,

Settlement Is Largest One Possible, Court Told.
Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell | today heard Samuel Dowden, attorney for the Fletcher American National Bank liquidating trustees, argue that the $325,000 compromise settlement offered by officers and directors of the defunct bank is as large as possible. The statement came in a hearing on a petition filed by four stockholders of the bank who own 360 shares of stock. The petition asked the Court to refuse to accept the directors’ offer to confess judgment and pay liquidating trustees the $325,000. The offer was accepted by the trustees. Mr. Dowden, in seeking to have the Court accept the confzss jvdament offer, reviewed the history | of the defunct institution, quoting | from a trustees audit. He said that since the bank failed to 1e-, cpen as a Class A bank after the| March, 1933, bank holiday, its as- | sets have been reduced by losses of more than one and one-half mil- | lion dollars. { Mr, Dowden said the institution reorganized as a Class B bank under the Federal bank conservation law. He argued that the belief that some directors had sufficient funds to provide larger payments has | since been shown untrue.

From the broad standpoint and public interest, whatever immediate gain might be achieved through the proposed change in the Court, would, in my opinion, be far more than offset by a loss of confidence in the independence of the courts and in governmental procedure. I have wholeheartedly supported most of the President's social program, both while he was Governor of New York and since he became President of the United States. His program, taken as a whole, has, in my opinion, represented the greatest step forward in social reform that any nation has undertaken for many years. : I look forward to the opportunity of continuing to support his courageous leadership in matters that are in the interest of the social wellbeing of our people.

5-CENT JUMP IN CITY'S TAX RATE HELD POSSIBLE
Fund Requests of Every Department Are Increased Over Last Year.
By WILLIAM L. FORTUNE
A possible 5 cent increase in the civil City tax rate increase in the a survey of 1938 financial requests for City departments today. City Controller Walter Boetcher recently predicted a 3'% cent "Increase. Department heads now are including in their proposed budgets, it was indicated, a proposed T'2 per cent salary increase for all employees. This would add approximately 2-cents more, it was said. Every department head indicated he would ask more funds this year, although exact estimates are not completed at present. Mr. Boetcher, scheduled to return to his office today after a vacation, is to study budget requests and complete final estimates by Aug. 1. The requests then will be presented to City Council for approval, and later to the County and State reviewing boards. Seek Wage Restorations
Basing his figures on the police and firemen's pay restoration ordered by the 1937 Legislature, a 5 cents an hour raise for employees in the lower wage brackets, and increased cost of materials, Mr. Boetcher recently said that the 1938 levy would be at least 3% cents over the 1.14 rate of 1937. Department heads said that the proposed T!'z per cent blanket wage increase would be a partial restoration of a 15 per cent cut during the depression. Employees in the lower income brackets received a T's per cent increase last year. Under a new allocation of gasoline tax funds by the State, the Works Board and the Park Board are to receive $200,000 for road and boulevard improvements and maintenance. Street Cosmissioner Fred K. Eisenhut said his department would ask replacement of the greatest number wf trucks and general purpose machines ever requested.
Sallee Seeks Increase
A "substantial increase” was the expression used by Charles Sallee, superintendent of City Parks, to describe his 1938 estimates. He said there is “not enough money in the present budget to hire the men necessary to take care of our $10,000, 000 park system.” City Engineer Henry Steeg, whose department has a $250,000 payroll, one of the largest, said his budget would be greater because of the “pay restoration being asked by all, the need for two new road builders for improving streets, and a 20 per cent increase for material costs.
LABOR BODY SEEKS TRUCK AGREEMENT
Calls Parley as General Walkout Is Threatened.
The State Labor Department today was to intervene in the five-day-old trucking strike in an effort to prevent a threatened general walkout of all motor transport operators, Four major transport lines were tied up as drivers demanded recognition of their Teamsters and Chauffeurs’ Union. Affected were the D2nny Motor Transport Co., Hancock Truck Lines, MichiganIndiana Transfer Co. and the Silver Fleet Motor Express Co.
Thomas R. Hutson, State Labor Commissioner, was out of the city and Emmett Cox, a concilliator, was to meet with operators and union officials. Company officials charge that drivers walked out despite assurance by the union that no strike would be called until Aug. 1, pending negotiations. M. D. Nickel, Indiana Regulated Carriers, Inc. labor board chairman, predicted a widespread truck drivers’ strike unless forestalled Ly today's conference.

HUNTINGTON, Ind, July 19.— Employees of the Caswell-Runyan Co. prepared to return to work tomorrow following settlement of a 19-day-old strike through co-opera-tion of the State Labor Department. Agreements signed by company and union representatives with the Labor Division provided for a general 5-cent-an-hour wage increase; time and a half pay for all, overtime work except on Saturday afternoons and certain holidays when double time is to be paid; and a stewardship system for handling grievances.

“Don't you think there is need of a Federal-state mediation system, something like the railmen’s plans?”
Mr. Green: “Possibly in the maritime industry, because that, like the railroads, has to do with transportation. But the dangers in Government mediation are that they might lead to compulsory arbitration. That would be a deadly blow to freedom.”
“Shouldn't some machinery be set up within labor to settle jurisdictional disputes and save employers and the public the suffering these cause?”
Mr. Green: “We realize that these are irritating to the public, and were doing what we can to settle them without recourse to strikes. The building trades have an umpire, Dr. John Lapp, who acts as impartial judge in such interunion disputes. We realize jurisdictional disputes are a plague. The C. I. O. has them too, as witness the recent dispute over whether men’s or ladies’ garment makers should make mannish coats for ladies. Some day I hope we can work them out by some internal setup.” “Should not unions be required to take strike referenda of their membership before resorting to strike?” Mr. Green: “Always the sentiment of the workers should be ascertained. But no law. Any law that might limit or curtail the right of strike is dangerous.” “What do you consider the most important pending legislation before Congress?” Mr. Green: “From a re-employ-ment and broadly social viewpoint, the Wagner-Steagall Housing Act. It is doubly important now that the building boom seems to have slowed down.” “Do you think the organizing of civil servants into unions affiliated with the federation is wise?” Mr. Green: “Why not? For years there has been a successful letter carriers’ union, as well as unions among the postal and railway mail clerks. They have never even considered strikes, but they have been given political support for legislation. We claim credit for the 40-hour-week law of last session.” “Is there hope for a peace between the Federation and C. I. 0.2?” Mr. Green: “I see none now. For

Of Science, Roosevelt Says
WASHINGTON, July 19.—President Roosevelt predicted today that American labor “may pay a very heavy price” in unemployment between now and 1960 for the country's scientific progress through inventions such as the mechanical cotton picker and the photo-electric cell. He considered adopting recommendations of Federal and civilian scientists who urged the Government should attempt to foresee and plan for that and other social-economic consequences from such de-
everyday life within 25 years—and their probable effects—was outlined by the National Resources Commit tee co-operating with the National Research Council, the Social Science Research Council and the National Council of Education. Mr. Roosevelt read the 383-page report, then intimated that he would appoint a special committee within the Government to watch developments that may cause technological unemployment,
Labor May Be Hard Hit
“While it is certain that much of the unemployment caused by the march of technical advance is absorbed by new occupations born of new industries,” the President said,
“it is equally true that in the meantime labor may pay a very heavy price through the readjustment and
JURY CALLED IN MYSTERY DEATH AT BEECH GROVE
Probe Into Slaying of Child Is to Be Conducted at Session Tomorrow.
Criminal Court Judge Frank P, Baker today ordered the Marion County Grand Jury into session at 10 a. m. tomorrow to investigate the strange slaying in Beech Grove last Wednesday of 12-year-old Helen Schuler. Mrs. Etta Jones, 37, a widow, is held in county jail, charged with first degree murder and assault and battery with intent to kill Mrs. Lou= ise Schuler, second - wife of the child’s father, Walter. Mrs. Schuler was wounded in the shooting.” The charges were filed by Sheriff Ray.
Judge Baker summoned the jury, selected 10 days ago, at the request of Prosecutor Herbert M. Spencer's office. “We have reports that attempts may be made to change the stories of some of our witnesses,” Special Investigator Al Lynch told the judge. “We want to get their testimony on record before the Grand Jury as soon as we can.” “I didn't want to call the Grand Jury this early because I have some special instructions I want to give,” the judge said. “I will prepare them and give them later.”
Playmate’s Story Sought
Dr. Ethelbert Wilson, Coroner, scheduled an inquest into the shooting for 9 a. m. tomorrow. He said that all the principals would e questioned, but that he wanted particularly to hear the story of 7-year old Hilda Kendall. She lived next door to the Schulers and was playing with the slain girl shortly before the shooting, it was said. Sheriff Ray was “out of town” today, deputies said, but declined to say if he was investigating another angle in the Beech Grove slaying. It was reported that the Sheriff may have gone to Louisville or Tell City to investigate the past lives of the principals in the baffling case. ; Mrs. Jones, whose gun has been identified as the death weapon, lived in Louisville before she came here in March to operate a rooming house after floods had wrecked her home there.
Father From Tell City
Walter Schuler, father of the slain girl and husband of the wounded woman, came from Tell City. So did his first wife, from whom he was divorced about seven years ago. Today, five days after the killing, authorities appeared not much nearer discovery of a motive than they were last Wednesday when Mrs. Jones called the Beech Grove police station and accused Mrs, Schuler of her stepdaughter’s murder. } Curious View Murder Site
Yesterday, many cars drove past the scene of the crime on Seventh Ave. in Beech Grove, A constant stream of the curious has viewed the crime’s scene since Wednesday, neighbors said. Mrs. Schuler still was under guard in St. Francis Hospital, held on a vagrancy charge. She .was visited yesterday for several hours by her husband, a handsome, grayhaired man. The two women who authorities

of workers whose jobs are affected by the change. “Employers likewise are deeply affected by swift technological changes producing obsolescence and displacement of capital investment. “I commend this report for earnest consideration in solving the great problem of how best to conserve and develop our vast national resources. The report cited figures to show that “during each two-year period, on the average, between 1923 and 1929, 49 out of every 1000 employees withdrew or were forced out of the industry in which they were working, compared with 21 men out of every 1000 during each five-year period from 1899 to 1914.”
The scientists then presented results of a study designed to show

| hardships of technological unems= ployment. Statistics revealed that 1190 rubber workers in New Haven and Hartford, Conn., discharged “by shutdowns in 1929 occasioned by the shift of production to more efficient plants’ were out of work an average of 4.3 months.
Discussing the cotton picker the report stated that from one-fourth to three-fourths of all the South’s tenant farm families might be dis= placed. The report said “even an ultra conservative estimate of the number of workers whose jobs could be done better and more economically by the photo-electric cell and associated equipment would probably be at least 250,000.”
