LABOT DEMANDS STATE CONTROL ITS INSURANCE
Industry Spokesmen Argue For Present Plan at First Hearing.
The study of Indiana's workmen's |
compensation law by a special commission authorized by the Legislature to propose changes, today had passed through the first oral skirmish. The three-hour presentation’ of arguments before the special commission and an audience of about 3000 in the House of Representatives last night was described as an early indication of a battle in the 1939 Legislature over the commission’s proposals. . At the commission’s first hearing, labor leaders presented a united front in favor of a workmen’s com- . pensation fund operated as a State . monopoly. Spokesmen for industry and insurance interests argued for retention of the present system whereby employers insure through private companies or themselves. Systems Analyzed Laughter, hoots and jeers frequently interrupted the -speakers. Richard E. Wenzel, Division -of Labor Standards, U. S. Department of Labor, explained the operation of a State-administered fund in the seven states which have them. They are Ohio, West Virginia, North Da‘kota, Washington, Oregon, Nevada "and Wyoming. “No state that has -adopted a state-operated fund has ever gone back to private insurance,” he said. “A State fund would pay higher benefits under the same amount of premiums or it would result in a reduction of rates.” . He said that in North Dakota, ‘where the rate is $7 per $100 pay roll, the maximum death benefit is $15,000, that it is $6500 in Ohio, .where the rate is $6.50, and $5000 _ in Indiana with a rate of $7. . Mr. Wenzel said that in the event : of 4 major: industrial disaster in a ‘ state where the insurance is issued by. private companies, there is daiiger of the drain on benefits * wrecking the companies. : ~~ He said where compensation is - through private companies, there is an overhead fos/each company while in a state-monoply plan there . is only one.overhead.
Labor Official Talks
Under a State-fund operated by " a commission, under Civil Service and with an -advisory board, there is little danger of politics, he said. Adolph -Fritz, Indiana State Fed- . eration of Labor secretary, said that - insurance companies “have fought © every move to change or amend the Indiana law. . + “Every time a change has been asked,” he said, “the same people -.are around here to fight it for no + other reason than to raise the rate.” Martin, H.- Miller, representing the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, - charged a State monopoly. - YWilliam' B. Miller, attorney, who . said he represented himself, argued that one of the chief benefits of a state-operated fund would be a state medical clinic to make examinations of injured workmen. Henry M. Cochrane, Indiana Manufacturers’ Association secretary, said: “I always opposed the state invading the ficld of private enter- - prise. This kind of insurance “(state monopoly) is aimed -at the "small manufacturer. Private insur- " ance is far better than any politically or Government-controlled insurance.” John Frederick, Kokomo manufacturer, and member of the commission which drafted the existing compensation act during the administration of Governor Ralston, pleaded for its, retention. “It's an act We ought to be proud of,” he said. “It is a pattern. I don’t like Stafc insurance. It takes it out of the hands of the people it concerns and tends toward’ paternal form of government which I don’t like.”
GROWERS LAUNCH TOMATO CAMPAIGN
Publicity Is Outlined for National Drive.
A campaign to make Marion County tomato production into a million-dollar industry had been launched today. by a group of growers, canners and businessmen here. . At a meeting called by County Agent Horace Abbott yesterday at Hotel. = Washington, preliminary plans were laid “to educate consumers everywhere fo the fact that Indiana tomatoes are the best in the world.” . The 20 delegates present agreed the campaign should start in August, when the State Tomato Picking Contest is held here. They planned a national publicity drive “to rival those for California oranges, Michigan cherries and Maine potatoes.” Mr. Abbott told the delegates he ‘believes the $343,000 county tomato crop of last year can be increased to a million-dollar ‘crop,” adding: “It is an opportunity for the ¢ouniy’s 800 tomato farmers and the five canning plants fo nerese their income.” Suggesis Proclamation

Hitler's
Text—
BERLIN, March 12 (U. P.).—The text of Fuehrer Adolf Hitler’s proclamation to the nation, broadcast today by Propaganda Minister Paul
Josef Goebbels, follows: “Germans: “With the deepest chagrin we have experienced the fate of our brethren in Austria, “An eternal historic connection which was disrupted in 1866, but which was sesied anew during the World War, joins Austria to the German community of blood and fate since time immemorial. “The suffering inflicted upon that country first from outside, and then from within, we felt as our own sufferings, as we also know that for millions of German-Austrians the misery of the Reich was the cause for the same chagrin and sympathy.
thanks to the National Socialist idea, again found a way to the proud self-consciousness of a great nation, a new period of distress began for Austria.
" “A Government which was lack-
ing every legal authority was then:
trying to maintain by most brutal terror, by personal and economic punishment and annihilation, an existence which was opposed by the overwhelming majority of the Aus#rian people. BH “Th we, a great nation, were compelled to see that over 6,000,000 people/ of our own blood were suppressed by a numerically small majority who managed to seize possession of the instruments of power necessary for the purpose. Political oppression and muzzling was followed by economic downfall, in dreadful contrast with the new economic prosperity in Germany.
SUFFERING ENFORCED
“Who could blame these unfortunate Germans for having looked yearningly to Germany, with which their forbears had been united for centuries, with which they had
fought shoulder to shoulder in the |.
most difficult of all wars, which culture was their own and which they. enriched with so many of their own creations? To suppress this creed amounted to condemning hundreds of thousands to the deepest suffering. Whereas, however, this suffering some years ago was borne silently, the increase in the Reich's authority caused the will to remove oppression to become ever more vehement. “Germans: “During recent years I repeatedly attempted to warn the former rulers of Austria against such methods. Only a madman could believe that
oppression and terrorism could ex-
tinguish in a people love of their inherited nationality. European history shows that such methods can generate only fanaticism.' This fanaticism forces the oppressors to resort to ever sharper methods of oppression, which in turn increase hatred and abomination of those affected.
“Furthermore, I tried to convince responsible rulers that in the long run it was impossible for a great nation, because it was unworthy of it, to witness continually how a people of the same nationality were oppressed, persecuted and imprisoned merely because of their. race, their declaration of faith in this
‘an ideal.
“Gerfnany was: compelled to receive over 40,000 refugees. Ten thou-
country. Through prisons and concentration camps hundreds of thousands were made be poverty “and No nation would tolerate such conditions at its frontiers and if it did it would
‘I deserve to be despised.
“But the agreement of July 11, 1936, was signed only to be broken the next moment. The overwhelming majority of the population was further denied its rights. Its humiliating position as pariahs in this state was not remedied. Who confessed to Germandom remained persecuted, no matter whether he ‘was & National Socialist manual laborer or an old and illustrious army leader of the World War. “1 attempted a second time to bring about a reconciliation. I made efforts to make it clear to a representative of that regime who stood oppesite me, the leader of
‘legitimate mandate, that this situation would be intolerable in the long run inasmuch as the grow-

“When in Germany the people,
nationality and their embracing of |
‘sand more wandered in a small]
, to live in:
the German nation, without any |:
ig indiguation of the Austrish ua his tion would be restrained In
witness such violent oppression in silence, “For if today colonial solutions are made dependent on the self determination of primifive races affected, then it is unbearable. that 6,500,000 members of a nation with an old civilization should enjoy even less freedom owing to the character of their political regime.
DEMANDS EQUAL RIGHTS
“I therefore want to’ attain by
‘new agreement that all Germans
in this country shall have equal rights ‘and equal duties. This agreement was to be the fulfillment of ‘the agreement of July, 1936.
“A few weeks later, we found to our regret that the men of the then: Austrian Government did not dream to fulfill this agreement .according to its spirit. In order to
get an alibi for their continuous:
violation of equal rights between Austrians and Germans, these men conceived a plebiscite which was meant definitely ‘to. deprive the majority of the people in this country their rights. The modalities of this plebiscite were to be unique. . “A counfry where in many years no ‘elections had been held and where all data for checking proper electors were lacking proclaimed a plebiscite to be holdable wifi
scarcely. three days; .
“There are no elecioral lists, no
register of voters, no way of ascer-
taining who is entiteld to vote, no
obligation to keep balloting secret,
no guarantee of impartial conduct
of balloting, no assurance as fo the
counting of votes, and i forth. “If such methods give the regime a character of legality, en we National Socialists in the Reich have been fools for 15 years. We went through 100 electoral battles and laboriously obiained .German allegiance. “When the late President finally called me to the Government, I was the head of by far the largest party. Since then I repeatedly attempted to have the German nation confirm my legality and I obtained confirmation. “If, however, these were correct methods which Mr. Schuschnigg wanted to apply then even polling in the Saar District was only chi-
canery against a people whose re-
turn to the mother country was to be made difficult. “We, however, are of a different opinion. The German people in Austria finally rose against that unprecedented attempt at electoral fraud.
TROOPS ARE MARCHING
“If this regime again this time
‘intended to quell a protest move-
ment by strong-arm methods, nothing but civil war could result. The German Reich does not permit that in this area Germans are to be persecuted simply because they belong to our nation or because they confess to a certain: conception of life. It wants order and peace. “Therefore, I. have decided to grant those millions of Germans in Austria the assistance of the Reich. Since this morning troops of Germany’s armed forces are marching everywhere across. the GermanAustrian frontier” Tank and infantry divisions and storm troop units on the ground and the German air force in the blue ether have been summoned by the new National Socialist Vienna Government. “This. Government will guarantee that the Austrian people at last will be given the o eS — to mold their future fa themselves by an genuine plebiscite. “Behind these "units of armed
forces stand the will and deterGerman
mination of the entire nation. I myself shall be happy to enter—as & German and a free citizen—this country which was also
my homeland. The world must
gain conviction that the German people in Austria these days are
going through a time of blissful
joy and emotion. They consider
