Mullen, Hammond, esident; John Martin, Evansville, hd vice president; John Acker, ifayette, third vice president; Edw P. Barry, Indianapolis, fourth _ vice president; Mary L. Garner, “Seifth Bend, fifth vice president, and Adolph J. Fritz, Indianapolis, secretary: and treasurer.
None. Eligible in 1939
“The committee is without a first vied president because there was fo eligible candidate for the office at’ the 1939 reorganization. “Mr. Fritz said that the committee ‘will not indorse candidates for Legislature, but will urge -members of unions’ in each community to sup6 former members whose records are favorable to labor or candidates who pledge themselves to support the federation’s proposals. * «ie didn’t make these records for the legislators, " Mr. Fritz said. “We just kept them for the guidance of our members so that they can suport labor’s friends and defeat its
enenies. » Backs These Bills
The most important measures the state federation will support -are bills which would make the workmen’s compensation law more liberal, de: an optional plan for state‘insurance for injured workers and remove the waiting tion Plovision in the job insurance
The federation, Mr. Fritz said, also will support: a: minimum wage law, repeal of the garnishee law and stronger measures to ban the sale of prison-made commodities." - “Working conditions in this state re no more hazardous than in pther states,” Mr. Fritz argued, “but workers’ compensation costs are sher. In 1937 private insurance anies in- this state collected 4 2:58 tor every dollar paid out in insurance. ; | - - (ites N. ¥Y. Figures 71" “The cost in 1936 was $250. In New York, where there is an optiogal plan, private companies colted only $1.81 for every dollar paid out lin 1937. In North Dakota, where there is an exclusive stategperated lfund, the cost in 1937 was 1.08 and in Ohio. which also has an exclusive state fund. the cost was pnly 97 cents for every dollar paid ou ut.” The federation has been fighting for state operated insurance since 1893. Opposition to the plan has come at each session of the Legislature from manufacturers and insurance companies, the federation official said. «
2 BAD LUCK’ FLIERS ON COME-BACK ROAD
MIAMI, Fla. Jan, 4 (U. P).— Two fliers whose bad fortune captured public’ interest were here today to redeem’ themselves as Miami prepared for the all-American air maneuvers which: ‘start tomorrow.
One was Hermelinda Briones of |
New York, “the “Eeuadoran-born
aviatrix ‘who made a forced landing |
at sea a year ago during the Miami‘Havana air ‘cruise and was rescued by a steamer as her plane sank. She sajd she was “praying” that the ‘application to make the cruise again would be approved. The other flier seeking to redeem himself was Capt. Alex Papana, the Rumanian ace and spectacular stunt pilot. Capt. Papana cracked up his plane just before a scheduled trans-Atlantic flight and his wife died in child-birth. Broken in spirit, he returned to Rumania. Two weeks ago he returned to New York, ready to start over again, The annual cavalcade of light planes from the North to the air races, expected this year to total about 1200 was trickling into Florida airports.
| It’s ‘Bedloe’s’; Now You Know
WASHINGTON, Jan, 4 (U. PY. ~—One of the more momentous problems settled in 1939 was how to spell the name of the dot of land in New York harbor on which ~ the Statue of Libarty stands, It is Bedloe’s United States Board of Geographical Names as authority. That group of eminent cartographers, geographers and scientists have ruled thusly. in a formal report to Interior Secretary Harold L. Ickes. £ial Dispute over the orthography of the famous isle has been raging since 1777. Then a map of Connecticut used “Bedlow Island” to designate the tiny tract named in honor of Isaac Bedloo. In 1800 New York listed it as “Bedlow’s Island.” In 1855 the U. 8S. Coast and Geodetic Survey was calling it “Bedloe’s Island.” New York came around to that
to “Bedloe Island” 11 years later.
2 STATE HOUSE UNITS TO MOVE
Milk Control and Printing Offices to Get Space In Annex.
Two State Government departments will be moved from congested quarters in the State House ta new rooms across the street on Senate Ave. recently vacated by the State Health Department. Virgil M. Simmons, head of the State’ Department of Public Works, said arrangements will be made to
.|move the State Milk Control Board
offices and the State Printing Bureau offices to the Senate Ave. annex building. Operations of the Printing Bureau were increased by .the 193% Reorganization Act and it has outgrown its present quarters in the State House basement, officials said. The Milk Control offices are now located intwo small rooms-on the third floor of the State House. The State Health Department moved from the State House annex into its new $300,000 office
igan St. two weeks ago, This left two floors in the annex building unoccupied. “Space not used by the Printing and Milk Control Boards will be taken over by other state offices now i Srowded quarters,” Mr. Simmons said.
