Leaders of Each Labor Group Maneuver for Support

Less Than 12 to Remain in|

Effect This Winter, Crawford Says.

The State Highway Commission hopes to have most of the detours

now in effect on Indiana's 9000-mile

road system eliminated by Now. 1, | Earl Crawford, chairman, reported today. Pointing out that construction work on many of the projects now is nearing completion, Mr. Crawford

said less than a dozen detours are |

to remain in effect during the winter months. At present there are | more than 25. While a contract has been awarded | for tween Indianapolis and Cumberland

as a dual-lane highway, this section |

is not to be closed to traffic all win- | ter, he said. Some work is to be done one the project this fall, however. Section Nearly Completed The present detour west of Indianapolis on U. S. 40, between Manhattan and Stilesville, is to be opened to traffic about Nov. 1 as a dual-lane highway. On Nov. 2 receive bids on the placing of a riprap to protect the bridge on Road 45 over the east fork of White River and for the remodeling of the State Highwa_, sub-district garage at Goshen. Bids for approximately one mile of paving on Road 20 east and west of that road's intersection With | Road 13 are to be received Nov. 9. Mr. Crawford said the rip-rap is to protect the four-span steel-truss

bridge in case of future high waters, |

and is to replace some of the material washed out during the flood last spring.

“no compromise—no surrender” tactics as they maneuvered for public support by offering to compose their differences.

One faction is led by George Harrison, head of the railway clerks and Senator Berry (D. Tenn.), president of the pressmen’s union.

Their Unions Not Raided

Their unions have not been raided by the C. I. O. and they are urging that labor unite to take advantage of the friendly labor policies of the New Deal. A second group headed by Morris Muster, head of the upholsterers’ union, openly criticized the executive council for its “die-hard” policy toward industrial unionism; complained that the council domi-
