TIMES GUILDSMEN,
LOCAL HEADS SPLIT
Editorial Workers Disclose Dispute Within Union.
By United Press
Nineteen of the 24 members of The Indianapolis Times editorial department who belong to the Indianapolis Newspaper Guild have handed The Times management a statement the Guild no longer represents them for collective bargaining purposes, they announced today. Their spokesmen said the action was due to a long series of differences between The Times unit and the Indianapolis Guild officers. The withdrawing Times Guild said the Indianapolis Guild officers repeatedly had gone over the heads of The Times unit's standing committee with complaints which The Times Guild unit reOne spokesman said the Indianapolis Guild officers
| actually had done everything to dis-
courage cordial bargaining relations with the management instead of fostering them. The Indianapolis Times newspaper in

its editorial employees. Negotiations have been in progress for a commercial employees contract, and now await settlement by the Labor Board of the proper bargaining
| unit.
Two Reported Charged Joseph K. Shepard, president of
| the Indianapolis Guild, said circula-
tion of The Times editorial unit withdrawal petition followed by two days the filing of charges against
| two Guild members on The Times
staff with the Guild's national executive board. These charges alleged unauthorized activities, in violation of the Guild constitution, and if sustained, ihe two men will no longer be eligible for Guild membership. Times employees’ spokesmen said. | however. the petition was circulated before the executive board charges were filed, and they constituted a reprisal by Guild officers. Mr. Shepard said signing of the statement by the 19 Times em-

Ludwell Denny, editor of The Times, said he had not discussed the matter with either side and had no comment to make.

STATE UTILITY ASSESSMENTS SHOW DECLINE
Railroads, Wire Companies Take Major Drop, Tax Board Reveals.
Assessments on utility property in Indiana as fixed by the State Tax Board in its first hearing showed a net decrease of $11,103,616 or 1.68 per cent below the final 1937 valuations of $660,347,551, it was announcéd today. Largest decreases were reported for steam and electric railroads and telephone and telegraph companies. Public and privately owned light, gas and water companies showed increases. Valuations fixed by the State Tax Board on utilities include oniy personal property, or that part of the utility used in operation and do not include real estate or retail sales stores. Hearing Dates Set
The Board held its first session April 4 to May 23. Protesting companies may appeal for a rehearing, scheduled July 5 to 16. The Board may either raise, lower or reaffirm its original finding. Final assessments then are certified back to counties where properties are located. Purpose of this procedure, Board members explained, is to obtain uniform assessment for taxing purposes for such utilities as railroads which have property located in many local taxing units. Figures prepared by J. R. Robertson, Board utility and valuation engineer, show the following comparison: First
