~ Lower House Report

¢ Interference With Truck Operation; Liquor,

Senate Again Takes Up Measure to Outlaw pe

Health Legislation Discussed.

The House bill to amend the Workmen's Compensation Act

re=

‘ distribute the fund burden was reported out for passage today by the

{House Labor Committee.

The Committee removed the clause which

‘would have made the measure applicable to employers of four

i more persons. 5 ~ Meanwhile, the Senate was to consider on second reading the controversial making it unlawful for - strikers to interfere with truck ‘transportation. Also scheduled for second reading In the Senate are a House bill which would require syphilis tests for marriage license applicants and the compromise liquor bill drafted by Senator William Jenner (R. Shoals) and Senator William Hardy (D. Evansville). A minority of the House Labor Committee was to file a report on the Workmen’s Compensation Bill recommending that the clause covering employers of four or more ‘persons be retained. The law now applies only to employers of eight Or more persons.

Would Cut Waiting Period

Other provisions fo the bill would reduce the partial benefit waiting period from four to two weeks; eliminate the second waiting period; place additional penalty on‘ benefit “chiselers” by depriving them of three weeks of benefits. : The measure places 95 per cnt of the employers’ contribution in the reserve account and 5 per cent in the State pool account. Now fivesixths goes to the reserve account and one-sixth to the pool account. It further eliminates employer from contributions when reserve accounts equal 15 per ‘cent of annual payroll. This is 2 per cent under the present law. A bitter floor fight was expected when the truck transport bill is handed down in the Senate. Labor * groups packed the Senate chamber at a hearing several weeks ago to lobby for the measure. Active in its support have been the Indiana In-ter-Organization Council and various employer groups. * The bill makes it unlawful to interfere with the shipment of agricultural and dairy products on highways and carries an emergency clause making it effective on pase.

Liquor Bill Explained

The compromise liquor bill is a substitute for the House bill introduced by Rep. Glenn Markland (R. Zionsville). The new measure, beside abolishing the importer system, would remove all restrictions on the number of whelesalers and provide for. payment of tax by stamps. Closing hours in third, fourth and fifth class cities would be changed to midnight. First and second class city taverns would remain as at present, open until 1 a. m. on week nights and 2 a. m. on Saturdays, Grocers would be permitted to retail beer which was prohibited under the Markland bill. Senator Jenner said that he will offer an amendment when the bill is called to the floor which would create a bipartisan commission of four appointed by the Governor to control the State Beverages Act. Under the compromise bill and as the setup is at present the State ex-

Proposal Held Up

The House Labor Commi for further consideration ites held bill to create an apprenticeship division in the State Labor Department. This measure would provide for establishment of a bureau to work out apprenticeship agreements between workers and employers in various industries and trades. W. Rowland Allen, L. S. Ayres personne] anager, who told the mmittee he was repr himself, said: Presenting only “This bill would become a recognized technique in aiding the nation which is facing a dangerous shortage of trained people. “Youth’s greatest handicap is a

measure. It is a simple, well-regu- |:

lated proposal to aid them.

“Great Britain and the United

-States—the two great democracies-— are the only countries in the world

which are not helping youth by welldefined programs.”

Insurance Bill Pending |

Pending in the‘ Senate Committee is the bill to enable the State to establish its own. work=men’s compensation insurance system.. Senator Charles Bedwell (D. sullivan), author of the bill, said the system would result in reduced premium rates and increased compensation payments. Adolph Fritz, State Federation of Labor secretary, said that last year private insurance firms who insure Indiana employers under the present workmen's compensation system collected $8,000,000 in premiums and paid out only $4,000,000 in benefits, He also charged that private in-

age. i Pointing out that this bill would place the State in the insurance business, Hassil E. Shenck, Indiana Farm Bureau president, said the State treasury was in no condition to warrant undertaking of such a program at this time.

House Clings to Policy Washington Voiced

The House of Representatives today passed a resolution reaffirming faith in the foreign policy of “no entangling alliances” as set out by George Washington, whose birthday anniversary the Legislature will observe with a joint sessjon tomorrow. Adopted without debate, the

measure pointed out that the last World War had not aided democracy and was responsible for the depression. Introduced by Reps. Herbert H. Evans (R..New Castle) and Harry Mulier (D. Anderson) the resolution said in part: “Whereap we are in the faith that George Washington was correct when he advised against foreign entanglements in any form, and whereas, as Americans we believe in the Monroe Doctrine in all of its applications . . . “Be it resolved, that this House of Representatives now goes on record as opposing entanglements with foreign countries .. . and we ask our Indiana Congressional delegation at Washingtor, both in the House of Representatives and the U. S. Senate to adhere to the principles that we advocate in this resolution.” “We in Indiana have enough to do to attend to our own affairs and keep our nose out of the other fellow’s business. and stand shoulder to shoulder for American principles and American government,” the resolution said.
