PROFESSIONAL AND TECHNICAL Area— . 100,000 and over ......cs. 25,000 to 100,000 5000 to 25, As far as Indiana ‘is concerned, the new scale will mean a reduction in wages for unskilled workers and an increase for the other three classifications—intermediate, skilled and professional-technical.

Increases Are Shown

Indiana now has no division between unskilled “A” and unskilled «B” as provided in the wage scale to take effect Sept. 1. grouping also makes one division of the population areas between 25,000 and 100,000 where it was split into two sections before. The wage adjustment was ordered by Congress in appropriating $1.477,000,000 for relief in 1940. It specified that relief pay could not vary in different sections in an amount (Continued on Page Three)

ROVING TOMATO

Sheriff in Johnson County Threatens Jail as 800° Force Down Wages.

By JOE COLLIER Times Staff Writer FRANKLIN, Ind, Aug. 16.—Declaring that between 800 and 1000 migrants from at least seven states have depressed the Johnson County tomato-picking wages from 2 to 3 cents a bushel, Sheriff Nelson W. Pangburn said this afternoon he would continue the drive against them. Sheriff Pangburn said that migratory laborers who can show no visible means of support will be arrested on vagrancy charges. These migrants have come from North and South Carolina, Tennessee, Nebraska, Kentucky, Alabama and New Jersey seeking work in the harvest fields, according to the Sheriff. Picking Fee Lowered

They have stormed the canning factories and taken jobs from local residents, Sheriff Pangburn said. The normal picking fee has been 7 cents a bushel and this year it has heen as low as 4 cents a

Puhel, he, said. ese péople have underbid local persons as much as 50 cents and $1 a day this year,” the Sheriff said. “I believe the situation is worse than in previous years. This may be due to the general layoff of WPA workers in many states.” Most of the migrants came in groups of four or five men, but when the influx started there were some ‘entire families. Sheriff Pangborn, who revealed that more than 50 migrants have been arrested on minor charges within a week, branded them as “moochers and, nothing else.” Twelve have been sent to the State Farm in default of fines assessed for loitering or {trespassing on railroad property. Fifteen are held at the Johnson County jail in default of fines for vagrancy. Fingerprints of the 15 are being checked with the Department of Justice and if they are not wanted on other charges they will be ordered from town before serving out their fines, Sheriff Pangborn said. : “We've had a lot of complaints from citizens and business man,’ the sheriff explained. “The firs complaints came from Edinburg, These transients were mooching in stores there. They slept in parked cars or under trees in fields. It just got so kad we had to do something to keep them moving.”

DEAL ON WATER IN LEGAL KNOT

Taxpayer Suit to Enjoin City Is Principal ‘Headache’ In Latest Talks.

By LOWELL B. NUSSBAUM

City officials and attorneys studying the proposed purchase of the

Indianapolis Water Co. were down to the “headache” stage today as they: sought the answers to knotty legal problems. Upon ' these answers probably hinges the final decision to buy or not to buy. City officials already are committed, with reservations, in favor of buying the utility at a net cost of approximately $22,000,000, through sale of 40-year 2%; per cent revenue bonds, but they are not going to take the final step until they are definitely assured that the path is cleared of legal hurdles. A group of eight, all but one of them lawyers sat perspiring around a conference table in Mayor Sullivan's office for three hours yesterday and talked over some of the problems. Key figure in the session was Will H. Thompson, counsel for the City Utility District and the City’s chief legal adviser in the negotiations. Discussion of the legal de{tails had been stymied during his recent absence from the City. Today another study session was to be held between Mr. Thompson: and ‘ Joseph Daniels, whose firm, Baker & Daniels, has served as the Water Co.’s legal advisers several decades. Until today, Mr. Daniels had not taken part in the negotiations. - ... Their No. 1 “headache, ” ‘although officials won't admit it, is the “taxpayer” suit filed several weeks ago seeking to enjoin the City from going ahead with the deal. , “Until the issues raised in this suit are settled, no bond firm would care to buy the City’s revenue bonds, and this means there is little hope that the purchase could be consummated before the end of the year, at the earliest. ; Officials are not inclined to expect much co-operation from the plaintiff attorneys in this suit in expediting its trial. As a counter move, officials are (Continued on Page Three)
