- “Business is good” summarized the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce’s report on business here the first six months this year. The boom of the national defense industries, the Chamber reports, has made itself felt in virtually all other lines of business. The largest six months gains were in building activity, with marked increases in ‘business, industrial and residential building. Bank clearings and debits and industrial power consumption also were well ahead of the 1940. June figures, the Chamber found in its survey, showed some recessions from the preceding month, but

Union President Calls for ‘No- Retreat’ as Negotiations Among 19 Groups and Nation’s Carriers : Open Next Week at Chicago. ‘© 3
By NED BROOKS Times Special Writer
WASHINGTON, July 17.—The threat. of a ‘defenses paralyzing railroad strike overhangs the negotiations sched_uled to open next week on demands of 19 unions for wage increases which the carriers say would add from $700,000,000 to $900,000,000 annually to théir operating costs. Five engine, train and yard-service unions are seeking

and then take a shower. The steamed clothing goes on to a mobile laundry and the men get clean clothes as they leave the bath house. To aid morale of troops at @& front, the Quartermaster Corps has designed a store on wheels to sell toilet articles, candy, cigarettes and cold beverages.

Both sides have completed: their " organizations for conferences starting July 24 in Chicago.

The three operating groups also created a joint committee headed by Mr. Gurley to negotiate with the Brotherhoods on a national basis. The 19 unions are represented by their presidents. ~ Also involved in the controversy, but not directly at issue in the Chicago negotiations, are other demands which the carriers say would add substantially to operating expense. . Engineers on Western roads have demanded assistant engineers for each unit of a Diesel-powered loco- te motive, and a change in the method of computing their pay from an engine-weight to a horsepower basis. The firemen have asked for similar additions to personnel on Diesel units on all roads, and also want a reclassification on their wage base.

The wages were sub‘sequently restored to the original level but the railmen point out that they did not seek a return of
