Fireworks,

Syphilis

* Bills Awaiting Final Action by Senators

3d Reading Is Due on House Measures to Reorganize

State Health Board,

Set Up $6 Auto Tag

Fee, Create School Study.

House. approved measures to prohibit the sale of fireworks and to require syphilis tests for marriage license applicants, today were awaiting

final Senate action.

Pending ‘on third reading in the House were House bills to reorganize the State Health Board, establish a flat $6 license fee for automobiles, place State employees on a merit system and create an educational commission to study the common school system and make rec-

ny endations to simplify school WS. Tae Ways and Means Committee was to report back favorably to the House a measure to appr priate $100,000 for construction of a harbor on Lake Michigan in Porter County. Proponents of this House measure, which originally called for a $766,000 appropriation, said construction of a harbor at the mouth of Burns Ditch would result in the establishment of another large industrial city similar to Gary. The slash in the appropriation was made by the committee. Utility Bill Signed

The measure to relieve municipally owned utilities from payment of property taxes has been signed by the Governor as has the bill to pro-

vide that married women may be arbitrators or umpires in legal actions. To be considered as a special order of business in the Senate today is the measure to prevent the appointment of any person cver 35 to the police force of any city of the first, second, third or fourth class. Amendments were written in by the Senate Railroad Committee last night to the House Bill to establish a new method of payment of costs of elevation of railroad tracks, and the amended measure was advanced to second reading in the Senate. One amendment provides that the State Highway Commission have to approve any separation project involving a /State road hefore it can be charged for a portion of the cost.

Cost Revision Provided

Under another amendment, if-the grade separation of a State highway necessitates a grade separation project on a street that is not a State highway then the cost of the elevation of such a street will be divided 40 per cent to the State Highway Commission, 20 per cent to the railroads, 20 per cent to the city and 20 per cent to the county. Primary purpose of the bill was to lower the amount of separation costs to be paid by the railroads to 20 per cent in order to hasten the launching of these projects. e House antifireworks bill has been amended by the Senate to make the effective date the 1940 Independence Day celebrations. As passed in the House on a unanimous 94-to-0 vote, this bill would have prohibited the sale and use of fireworks this year. Only professional -pyrotechnical = displays would have been allowed and 'licenses for these would have had to be secured from the State Fire Marshal’s office.

Sexton Leads Move

Senator Joseph PF. Sexton (D. Indianapolis) led the successful move to advance the effective date after explaining that “retailers now have from $10,000 to $60,000 worth of fireworks in stock for the July 4 celebration this year.” Senator Walter Vermillion (D. Anderson) tried to make the measure’s provisions apply this year but was defeated. “An average toll of three lives have been lost by fireworks in Indiana for the last 30 years,” he declared. “Unless this bill is returned to its original form, it may be your child, Senator Sexton, or it may be mine, but assuredly the parents of three children on the next celebration of the Declaration of Independence will meet with the greatest sorrow a parent can have—the needless death of their child.”

TIRE CELEBRATION ENDS AKRON, O., Feb. 24 (U. P.).—Two thousand Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. representatives returned to their homes today following a four-day celebration of the 100th anniversary of the discovery of vulcanization.

LABOR WINS 1ST HOUSE VICTORY

Bill to Include Employers of Four or More Goes to Third Reading.

Labor won its first major victory in the House today when that chamber advanced to third reading its bill to liberalize the unemployment. compensation law by making the statute apply to employers of four or more persons. An amendment to make the bill apply to employers of eight or more, which is the way the present law reads, was defeated on a roll call vote, 51 to 39. This measure would reduce the partial benefit waiting period from four weeks to two weeks and would eliminate the second waiting period. It would place 95 per cent of employers’ contributions in the reserve account and 5 per cent in the State pool account. At present five-sixths go to reserve account and one-sixth to the pool account.

Deserted by Republicans

The unsuccessful amendment was introduced by Rep. J. Frank Smith

will (R, Lafayette), but on the vote he

was deserted by many Republicans who joined the Democrats in killing his proposal. Declaring that an unemployed man gets just as hungry. whether he works for an employer of four men or an employer of eight or more men, Rep. George Wolf (D. Peru) declared: “Four seems to be the popular number in other states. I don’t think this measure will work a hardship on anyone. This will just vroaden the base and extend the benefits under this act.” Rep. Roy Harrison (R. Attica) pointed out that the Labor Committee reported this measure to the floor without recommendation after there was a division of opinion among committee members on this “four or eight” question. Committee members decided to let the House decide the question, he said. Rep. Walter K. Baker (R. New Albany) in speaking for the amendment said: “Small businessmen have had

‘enough trouble getting along during

the last few years. There is no point in adding to their burden. Fears for “Small” Business “There are 10,000 employers now under this act. By lowering the limit to four an additional 18,000 small businessmen would come under this act. The small employer cannot be classed with large em-

ployers to whom their workers are

just numbers on time cards.” According to Rep. Winfield K. Denton (D.. Evansville), labor gHig. inally wanted the limit reduced employers of one or more Or while employers groups wanted the figure fixed at four. He said the measure in its present form was a compromise agreement between the two groups. Rep. Herbert H. Evans (R. New Castle) said that he had been infornied that a number of employers of four men would lay off one man to escape provisions of this bill. He said that it had been estimated that this action of employers might increase the State's Unemployment by 3000 persons.
