He said he will have some per-| tinent things to say about the Democratic Two Per Cent Club from the taxpayers’ angle and about some “rackets” he said were flourishing in connection with State government. z In an address before the annual convention of the State Federation of Labor at Marion today, Mr. Hillis said, if elected Governor, he would appoint a conciliation board to adJust labor disputes.

‘Guard Won't Take Sides’

He promised that the National Guard would never be called by him to “take sides in a labor dispute.” “It shall be our purpose to encourage industry to build and protect labor in its work,” he said. “We want to have a state where men will be employed. not one

| telegrams read in part:

{ “The Indiana League of Women Voters urge that you de everything in your power to bring Ramspeck H. R. 960 before the Senate prior to adjournment. “We consider this legislation vital, particularly in present emergencies. . . . Competent civil employees must be appointed to carry out Government business. Economy more necessary than ever in administration of Government.” The bill has been awaiting Senate action for seven months, Mrs. Clarence F. Merrell, League president, declared in a statement. She said: “Congress seems likely to adjourn

Ramspeck Bill which passed House and has been awaiting action by the Senate for seven months. “Some 200,000 Federal employees who have been deliberately excluded from the merit system by Congress would be affected bv the bill. How can the Senate fail to remedy such a detriment to honest and efficient services to meet an emergency unparalleled in our history? “The League of Women Voters wishes to make sure that no one fails to realize what lax civil service practices do to the governments of nations under pressure, to emphasize the critical importance of putting so many thousands of employees under the merit swstem and the political significance for those who fail in their responsibility

COMPROMISE ON |

Democrats Name Temporary Succes- | sor to Rep. Rayburn.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 18 (U. P.). |—A compromise plan whereby se{lection of a new House Democratic (leader would be postponed until the next session appeared today to be gairing wide favor in Congres- | sional circles. The proposal envisages selection of a prominent Democrat who will not return to Congress next January to serve as majority leader only {until the end of the current session. | Proponents felt

troversy over choice of a successor to Rep. Sam Rayburn (D. Tex.), who was elected Speaker to succeed the late William B. Bankhead. Some believe that a fight over the leadership at this time would create needless ill will just prior to the November elections. Most often mentioned as a candidate for the post of temporary leader is Rep. Lindsay Warren (D, N. C.), whom President Roosevelt has nominated to be Controller General. Rep. Marvin Jones (D. Tex.), who has been named to the {U. 8S. Court of Claims, also has {been mentioned. | Four candidates appear to lead the contest for Rep. Rayburn’s former job. They are Reps. John W. McCormick (D. Mass.), Clifton Woodrum (D. Va.), Patrick J. Boland (D. Pa.) and Jere Cooper, (D. Tenn.). In addition, Rep. John E

—————— state district, which includes President Roosevelt's home at Hyde Park > : Right and left-wing factions both claimed victory in New York's American Labor Party contest, but the counting of votes was delayed until today. The left wing opposes a third term for Mr. Roosevelt. Wisconsin Republicans were jubilant at having polled more votes than the Democratic and Progressive candidates combined. Returns from more than two-thirds of the state's precincts gave Fred H. Clausen, small town farm implement manufacturer, a big lead in the seven-sided Republican Senatorial race. Dr. Glenn Frank, who was killed in an auto accident Sunday, polled a large courtesy vote that put him in third place. Senator Robert Ld&Follette Jr., running for renomination as a Progressive, was unopposed on that ticket.
