CLEAN STREETS
Winship Uses Quick Sweep | And Double Flush for Victory Over Dirt.
City Streets Commissioner Wilbur Winship today revealed ¢hat new| methods have been developed in his department which may revolutionize street cleaning in Indianapolis. The Commissioner's new system is based on the two-fold principle of the quick sweep and the double ] in which the City’s seven new street sweepers and four fiushers make lightning-like forays into the gutters at odd hours. The quick sweep phase of the program takes advantage of rush hour parking bans on Capitol Ave, Meridian and Delaware Sts. where the touch of the street cleaners broom
heretofore has seldom been felt be-| cause of continuous parking along] the curb | Now with parking forbidden on inbound lanes from 7 to 9 a. m. and] on outbound lanes from 4;30 to 6 p. m, Mr. Winships job is made] easy. But he must act with speed. | At 7 a. m. sharp, the brand new, | speedy. little sweepers line up down- | town and start out, brushes whirling They have a street-sweeping | speed of six miles an hour, | They whirl along the empty curb | janes until 9 a. m. when the parking | ban goes off. Then the curb lane] fills up with parked cars so quickly that it is all Mr. Winship and his) men can do to get the little sweep- | ers out of the way of motorists competing for parking space During the morning and afternoon, the sweepers free lance in| their districts, sweeping here and there. At 4:30 p. m. sharp, they are massed on the outbound curb lane] which now is free of parking. Away they gP in a hurry to get

| WASHINGTON, May 2 (U. P.), — |The Senate is making another ef- | fort to put the Federal Government !into partnership with the Anti{Horse Thief Association, which used | to deal with rustlers with the six{gun and noose. | Under terms of a bill the Senate passed yesterday and sent to the House, thefts of livestock would be (offenses against the Federal Government when the rustlers move the stock across state lines. Senator Pat McCarran (D. Nev.) is author of the legislation. President Roosevelt vetoed similar | measured that Senator McCarran |sponsored in previous sessions. The Senate Judiciary Committee, taking cognizance of modern meth- | ods, said Uncle Sam's help is needed to combat rampant cattle rustling
in the West. The committee noted |
that thieves are “using high-speed trucks that operate with such ease and speed that efforts of local authorities have become entirely inadequate.” Rustlers would be confronted with a five-year prison
term and $5000 fine if the bill is|
enacted.
‘APPALACHIAN
Southern Operators Say Coal Conference Is +Divided for Good.
By FRED W. PERKINS Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, May 2 — The
world’s largest collective bargaining agency, the Appalachian Joint Bituminous Wage Conference, is left in
wreckage through the negotiation with the United Mine Workers by Southern operators of an agreement, temporary but separate from that of Northern operators. If and when the Southerners reach a permanent new two-year agreement with the union, they will not have to submit it to the entire conference which heretofore has represented all the producers from Pennsylvania and Ohio in the North down through the Appalachian Mountains to Alabama. John LL. Lewis, president of the Mine Workers, who attempted to keep the entire group together because it makes his bargaining tactics more effective, admitted this yesterday just after the signing of a temporary agreement preceding renewed negotiations opening May 10 in New York, where will be determined whether the Southerners keep their wage differential of 40 cents a day.
Call Defense a Lever
Charles O'Neill, chief spokesman for the Northern operators, has refused to admit there is a legal break in the conference, and declares it is a going and permanent concern. Bus L. T. Putham and L. Ebersole Gaines, leaders of the Southern op|erators, declare the Southern Coal Operators’ Conference is now a complete bargaining unit in its own right, and that the Southerners have no intention of joining again in parleys with the Northerners, Messrs. Gaines and Putnam alleged an “alliance” of the Northerners and the union against them, in[tended to use the defense need for {coal as pressure to wipe out the Southern wage differential. They declared they had become convinced (that the interests of their section lcan be protected only in a separate (conference. The Appalachian organization was ‘created in 1933, under NRA, and has functioned continuously since — but with the Southerners frequently in disagreement, and with Southern groups occasionally breaking off temporarily. Messrs. Gaines and Putnam now declare the divorce is permanent. Test to Be Delayed
Whether they are correct will be shown by future industry developments, including expected efforts by Mr. Lewis and his union associates to force the Southerners back into an organization where all the operators can be bargained with as a unit. That effort, however, is not expected this year—all indications being that the union is willing to ac|cept separate agreements under today’s critical conditions. The Appalachian conference has |set wages and working conditions |directly for 230,000 men, and indi[rectly for others to a total of 450,000.
|
lot this number, the Southern operators employ 150,000.

MERCY SHIP TURNS DOWN STOWAWAYS
JERSEY CITY, N. J, May 2 (U. P.).—The American Export Lines freighter Exmouth, which took a cargo of food to France, almost returned with a cargo of French stowaways, Chief Officer Edward Patrick Lebzelter reported on the ship's arrival here today. The Exmouth spent eight days at Marseilles unloading foodstuffs sent by the American Red Cross and entertaining unbidden guests who swarmed aboard for a taste of real coffee with sugar in it. “Theyre damned hungry over there,” Capt. Lebzeltern said. Before the ship sailed for home on April 12, its officers had to chase out 30 to 40 stowaways and make a double check to be certain none had been missed. “They hid themselves everywhere from the crow’s nest on the mast to the tanks at the bottom of the hold,” Capt. Lebzeltern said. “We found kids in the lifeboats, under the covers. How they got there we'll never know.” The Exmouth’s officers were forced to turn down the request for transportation to Gibraltar of two men who said they were British agents and had traveled some 1260 miles through enemy territorv and had missed contact with a plane which was to have picked them up. The men had climbed a stone wall “as high as Sing Sing’s” to get aboard unobserved, Capt. Lebzeltern said.

U. S. MAY PAY BILL DUE SINCE 1812 WAR
WASHINGTON, May 2 (U. P.).— The Senate has finally got around to authorizing a payment of $92.868.90 to Vermont which has been owed since the War of 1812 but the House still has not acted. Senator Warren R. Austin (R. Vt.) explained that Vermont spent $35,057 for military purposes during the War of 1812 and lent the United States more than $50,000 because the Fed-
eral Treasury was depleted,
