‘Ready to Work,” Says Union

John Williams, milk union bisi- | ness agent, said: “We told Mr. Coller | we would be willing to go back to | work on routes in all plants except | struck plants. And we'll go back in | those three plants if the manage- | ments agree to negotiations.” Adolph Fritz, Indiana State Federation of Labor secretary, said: { “The public is being misled. This is not a strike—it is a lockout on | the part of the dairies. From all | information I can gather, the de- | livery has not been curtailed by the union, other than at the Capitol and Weber dairies.” The Governor today explained the State order for normal delivery by ¥ p. m. under police protection in| the following statement: | “The State Milk Control Law | gives the State Milk Control Board absolute control in every detail of the distribution of fluid milk in any area in which a milk shed has! been established. | “Mr. Coller, Indianapolis area administrator, has wide powers under | this act. { “I think he has the power to establish wages of drivers. We haven't done that and don't want to do it, but it might be necessary. “I am hopeful something can be done today that will be agreeable to all parties involved. | “Milk must be delivered. I hope | a settlement can be carried out! peaceably.”

Hutson Also Issues Statement

Following last night's conferences, Mr. Hutson issued a statement re- | garding the work of his Division in! the dispute. It follows: “The Indiana Division of Labor has| made an investigation of the present difficulty between the milk distributors and their employees and has conferred with both parties. | “We requested that the Indian- | apolis Milk Council select a commitiee of from three to five men to meet with the Division to negotiate an agreement that would | end the present difficulty. The Di-| vision has been informed that the | Council turned down this proposal | last night. “We have the assurance of rep- | resentatives of the union that they | will go into conference under the | auspices of the Division of Labor at | any time to discuss means of end- | ing the dispute. “Our investigation shows that only three dealers are involved in a strike controversy at this time, | and the division believes that there | is no reason why other dealers should not deliver milk to the con- | suming public. “The division will continue its efforts and do everything possible to end this dispute.” |

May Use Troops, Warns Coller

Mr. Coller said: “The Milk Control Act gives my | office broad powers and attorneys yesterday assured us that we have | ample legal authority to act as we | have,” he declared. | “If a possible mandate should fail, we will look into the legality | of having State troops enforce our order, If the delivery starts as| ordered tonight, we will provide pos lice protection for employees and | property. | “I am going to confer with Mavor | Boetcher on the mechanics of providing ‘this protection. Meanwhile today milk is being collected from the producers of the milk shed and if any trouble develops in the pro-| cess we will ask for sheriff's aid and | protection. “The milk that is gathered today will be pasteurized and bottled and ready for delivery tonight. Prose-|

“Unless threats are entirely oliminated, and unless some method of arbitration along the lines suggested by the Governor is approved by the union, we still cannot jeopardize the safety of our drivers. “If the union has 80 per cent membership as it claims, all it has to do is to follow the Indiana Labor Act and ballot each plant. If the union did this, the distributors

| would be forced by law to arbitrate

in the event the voting showed 51 per cent or better membership. The union knows it has not sufficient strength to win by ballotting.” Although the bottle supply is growing short, there still is a sufficient supply to take care of all needs, he said. He urged persons buying milk at dairies to bring empty bottles. Denies Any Shortage

He denied any milk shortage and added that 90 per cent of the regular volume used here was taken out of milk plants yesterday by groceries, business establishments and individuals. Dr. Herman G. Morgan, Indianapolis Health Board Secretary, said: “The Milk Administrator is to be commended for the order that deliveries be resumed today. Likewise Governor Townsend and Mayor Boetcher are to be commended for conscientious attempts to settle this difficulty. “Milk certainly is an article of food of extreme importance to the community. Any controversy that prevents milk reaching the consumer is looked upon by the public

as inimical to the health and wel- |

fare of citizens. The order for resumption entirely offsets any detrimental effect on community health

{ that might have resulted.”

Mayor ‘Ready to Co-operate’ Mayor Boetcher warned all firms and individuals involved in the milk

| delivery dispute that “the City Ad-

ministration will not stand for violence of any kind.” “I have given the Police Chiet strict orders on that,” he said. The Mayor said he would keep in close touch with Mr. Collier and *‘cooperate in any way with efforts to settle the dispute.”

Spencer Investigating, He Says

Prosecutor Spencer said his office was “investigating all reports of threats made against drivers attempting to make deliveries.” He said an independent driver yesterday asked help of the Prosecutor’s office “when he suspected a group of men in the street would attack his truck.” “We would like to have names of persons threatening drivers delivering milk, causing stoppage of deliveries,” he said, explaining a 1933 law provides prison sentences for

| interference with deliveries.

The Prosecutor said the law did not apply to stoppage of deliveries by the dairy owners. “The law provides penalties for interference only if the stoppage is the result of a conspiracy to get drivers to join an organization or to collect money from them.” he said. Following was the comment of

| spokesmen for several of the dairies.

Polk Sanitary Dairy Ceo.: Will start regular home deliveries sometime during the night. Have not decided whether to start out before or after daylight. All customers are assured of milk tomorrow by approximately 9:30. There is no possibility of a milk shortage, but possibility of a bottle shortage because many who came to the dairy for milk yesterday forgot to bring empties. William H. Roberts & Sons, Inc.: Have not been notified formally of Milk Administrator's order, Have not decided on whether to make deliveries tomorrow. There is no possibility of a milk shortage, but might be a shortage of bottles because of failure of consumers to bring empties to the plant yesterday and because of reported break-

No Complaints, Says Official

busses were running on time and that he had received no complaints against the service, He said he didn’t know whether the drivers who quit yesterday, leaving the busses at the end of the line in Beech Grove, were union men or not and said he did not know whether the men he took on to drive the busses were union men or not. “I am running a bus line,” he said, “and I have nothing to do with union organization. Eight of the 12 men on my payroll quit yesterday morning and left their busses at the end of the line in Beech Grove. Beech Grove police called me and told me service had been stopped. I picked up some other drivers I had and we went out to drive the busses. “I have not been approached by any union men but the State Labor Department has talked informally to me about the situation.” The local union involved in the Grevhound strike is

‘Chinese Prepare for

‘Big Shanghai Drive By JOHN R. MORRIS United Press Staff Correspondent SHANGHAI, Oct. 9.—Chinese | troops, big guns and munitions | trains crowded roads west of Shang[hai today, pressing toward the front | where Chinese and Japanese armies | prepared for offensives on a gigantic | scale. The Japanese, learning of the Chinese plan to start a gigantic of{ensive Sunday or Monday, hoped to strike first. But it was evident they would have to strike soon. The Chinese offensive is to mark the 26th anniversary of the start of the revolution which led to the republic. But Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, a Christian—converted by his wife, an honor graduate of Wellesley—was expected to forbid a | start on the anniversary day, tomorrow, because it is Sunday.

NANKING, Oct. 9 (U. P).— Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek called for a “last ditch” fight against | Japan tonight in a broadcast to the | nation in which he predicted a long war. “We should know there is ab-| solutely no hope that hostilities will | be ended within a few months,” the | Marshal said. “We must visualize | ever-increasing hardships as long as | the bitter struggle lasts.

| PEIPING, Oct. 9 (U. P.).—A high-ly-trained Japanese Army of 200,000 men is being concentrated in northern Manchuria, on the Soviet border, | and along the Amur River, it was reported reliably today. Heavy troop movements to the border have taken place within the last few weeks as a precaution against a Russian invasion, it was said. Japanese dispatches in recent weeks have reported that Tokyo fears that Russia might go to the aid of China in the present Far Eastern crisis.

British and French Plan for Tri-Power Action Is Turned Down.

on an unprecedented campaign of provocations. “Among the premeditated actions planned were gas attacks on Spanish cities and towns of strategic importance; the use of Italian submarines flying the Spanish Loyalist flag; the bombardment of Rebel

cities themselves with planes|

painted in the Loyalist colors.” The note even alleged that a gas attack might even be made on Palma, Mallorca, a Rebel base, so that “piratical” acts might be charged to the Loyalists.

Telephones Il Duce

As this note and the Italian note were delivered, the United Press received from usually reliable sources

at Rome that Bruno Mussolini, second son of Premier Mussolini, not only was in the Balearic Islands with a new Italian air fleet but actually telephoned II Duce at length from Palma, Majorca, yesterday afternoon. For the moment, every new development pointed to an explosive phase of Europe's diplomatic problems. Sends Troops to Africa

There was belief that Premier Mussolini deliberately delayed his

reply on the volunteer question to show that he was not frightened by hints of British-French reprisals for his aid to the Rebels. More seriously, he dispatched a formidable force of troops to North Africa and again it was reported that he sought to impress France, whose Tunisia borders Italian Africa.

French Cabinet Confers On Italy’s Reply

PARIS, Oct. 9 (U. P.).—TItaly’s reply on withdrawal of volunteers from Spain is “definitely unfavorable,” a Foreign Office spokesman said today after Government oflicials had examined the note. Leading members of the Cabinet went

into conference and contact was established with London.

British Deny Attack

From Submarine LONDON, Oct. 9 (U.P.).—An investigation of a reported attack on a British warship by an unidentified submarine in the Mediterranean was officially closed today. The Admiralty announced that no attack had taken place. The submarine was said to have fired a torpedoe at the British destroyer Basilisk off Cape San Antonio, on the eastern coast of Spain, last Monday. The Basilisk dropped depth charges and reportedly sank the submarine.

Italy’s Delay of Note

Believed Deliberate

ROME, Oct. 9 (U, P.) .—Italy delivered to Great Britain and France today her long-awaited reply to an invitation—actually a demand—to discuss withdrawal of foreign volunteers from the Spanish civil war. It was said authoritatively that the note refused to participate in any discussion of the volunteer problem unless Germany was included. It suggested that the entire problem be left to the Spanish nonintervention committee at London. This means that the note is in fact a rejection of the BritishFrench demand for three-power, direct negotiations with Italy as the third negotiator. The alternative suggestions in Italy's reply were merely the sugar coating. Persons close to Premier Mussolini said that he personally delayed the reply—promised day by day—because he was annoyed at what he considered signs that Britain and France were trying to “railroad” him into a quick answer, He meant, by the delay, to show Britain and France that he was not to be moved by the open hints that they would take some stern action at once unless he consented to immediate direct negotiation on the volunteer problem. And, as usual, Mussolini did not confine himself to gestures. While he delayed the reply, originally promised Thursday, he was sending troops, thousands upon thousands, to northern Africa. Foreign observers suggested that they were meant to face toward the frontier of French Tunisia.

Peace Groups Split on

Boycott of Japanese

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9 (U. P.).— Peace organizations split today on the issue of a boycott of Japanese goods—hinted by President Roosevelt when he called for “concerted action” to halt military aggressors. The National Council for the Prevention of War closed its three-day convention last night by passing a resolution condemning a boycott as ill-advised” and a step which would “aggravate rather than improve” the present critical international situation, At the same time officials of the Washington chapter of the American League Against War and Fascism pledged its members to quit using Japanese products and announced it would sponsor a movement intended to enlist its entire affiliated membership—claimed to be more than 4,000,000—in the drive. The developments came as the American Federation of Labor, in national convention at Denver, was reported ready to vote on a resolution providing for a similar boycott by its 3,500,000 members. At Chicago, the American Federation of Teachers also announced its stand in favor of banning use of imports from Japan.

Times’ Cooking Schools 4 Sessions Will Present New Recipes and Ideas

Every Step in Preparing Food Is to Be Explained.

(Recipe Column, Page Five)

The annual Indianapolis Times Cooking School, to be held Oct. 13, 14 and 15, will be conducted in four sessions at English’'s Theater under the direction of Miss Ruth Chambers, nationally known expert of the National Livestock and Meat Board. Miss Chambers is returning with a brand new program, featuring all new recipes, packed with new ideas in the age-old art of cookery. She will show how to prepare each dish, illustrating just what she does to make it a success and why she does it. At the close of each session the dishes prepared on that program will be displayed. A valuable feature of the school this year is a series of four cook books, one for each session, which will be given away. The sessions are free. Miss Chambers will show dishes

recommended for dieters, and othe ers for those who want to gain a pound or two.

The set of books to be given away will be a unique addition to the homemaker’s collection since it will be made up of recipes for dishes she has seen prepared and completed. She will know before she starts just how the completed dish should look, and she will have seen how an expert prepared it. In planning the Cooking School, Miss Chambers has divided her program into four general topics. The first day's session is to be “New Fashions in Meals” and that theme is to keynote the whole school. Fashion will play its part in the second program, “Fitting Foods to Figures,” for special attention will be given at that session to the cause of those who wish to keep or regain the figure that goes best with the styles of the hour. “Meals for Streamlined Pockets” will be the theme of the third session and the final session, “Food Fashions on Parade,” will contain party suggestions.

don't believe nature ever intended for us to be too technical. The more you delve into life's problems the more confused you get and the more apt you are to make a mistake. I had an uncle who made a study of women’s dispositions and he decided before he got married he would find one with a good even temper. He was beginnin’ to get pretty discouraged when he went to a party one night and was sitting opposite from a woman who got some soup spilled on her gown. When he saw this woman smile sweetly, he says to himself, “That's the woman for me!” So he started courtin’ her, No matter what test he put her to, she was always so smiling and sweet about it that he finally married her. Then he got a shock. No matter what little thing he did, she’d fly into a violent temper. Finally he says to her, “Why is it I never saw any signs of that temper while I was courtin’ you?” and she says, “I use'ta wait until you left and then I'd go upstairs and bite chunks out of the wash stand.” (Copyright, 1937)

WPA CHIEF WARNS DISTRICT OFFICIALS

John K. Jennings, State WPA Administrator, today had warned six district WPA supervisors that “any future attempts to shift their responsibilities to State headquarters will be regarded as distinct reflections on district managements.” Calling all district supervisors into special conference late yester-

day, Mr. Jennings explained that “occurences during the last few weeks have indicated that many district officials apparently did not have clear conceptions of district responsibilities.” The State Administrator charged supervisors with full responsibilities on project operation, control and sponsor relationships. He also instructed the supervisors on fund limitations on projects.

WOMAN AMALES HER PHYSICIANS

Virginia Mother, Her Neck Broken, Gives Birth to 19th Child.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, Oct. 9 (U, P.)—A 39-year-old mother, who gave birth to her 19th child four days after receiving a broken neck in an automobile accident, was ex= pected today to recover. So incredible was the case that the mother’s physician, Dr. C. L. Fisher, has been asked to chronicle it for the journal of the American Medical Association. Doctors said they believed it was the only case on record which combined such unusual circumstances. The mother, Mrs. Myrtle Arrington, and her 3-year-old son, Glen« wood Arrington, were admitted to Alexandria Hospital last Sunday after an automobile in which they were riding skidded from a highway near Occoquan Creek, Va. Mrs. Arrington’s condition was reported as critical and it was pointed out that a broken neck usually was fatal. On Thursday, with Mrs. Arrington’s head and back trussed in a harness to prevent movement, Dr, J. A. Sims, the hospital's obstee trician, delivered a nine-pound girl. Hospital attaches said it took Mrs, Arrington six hours to complete the “normal” delivery. The baby's condition was “excellent.” Mrs. Arrington is the wife of Charles Arrington, a railroad worker. Fourteen of the 19 children born to her during her 21 years of married life are still living. While doctors marveled at the extraordinary case and described it as a “miracle” of modern science and nature, Mrs. Arrington showed little interest in its unusualness. She worried more about a name for her new baby. “Won't you help me pick out a name for my baby?” she asked her nurses. “I've had so many children that I've just about run out of names.” Dr. Fifer said today that despite her critical condition, Mrs. Arrington had an “excellent chance of recovery.”

Mr. Edmondson, who said God commanded him to cut tombstones and sculpture, is familiar with enly one book—the Bible. Hence, his favorite subjects are Mary and Martha, the lamb of God, doves and preachers. The museum, of which Mrs. John D.
