ON POLICE USE|
Dawson Charges Promise Broken With Labor in Richmond Strike.
Times Special i EVANSVILLE, Ind, Sept. 16—
Lieut. Gov. Charles Dawson today |’ charged ' Governor Schricker with!
breaking his promise to labor in calling out the State Police in the Yecent International ‘Harvester strike at Richmond. i The charge was made in an --
dress before the annual convention |:
of the Indiana Building Trades Council. Mr. Dawson recalled that back in the days “when the Republican Party was in power in Indiana a _ proposal was made for the establishment of tke State Police force . labor was opposed to: the idea
on the theory that it would give |:
opportunity for an armed force to|: be used in case of difficulty aris-|: ing out of strikes or for other purposes. But a promise was made and a promise was kept that written into the law would be a provision that such ‘a police force could not be used to halt legitimate strikes.
Lauds Defense Stand
“Such a provision was placed in the law and it remained there until 1935 when, under a Democratic administration headed by Paul’'V. McNutt, the law was rewritten to provide that the State Police could not be used in such instances except upon authority of the Governor. “We can pass ove rthe instances _ at Terre Haute under the McNutt ‘administration and come down to a more recent event,” Mr. Dawson continued. - .*Promises were made by the immediate past Governor and the ‘present Governor that they would never call out the National Guard for strike duty. The present Gbvernor, I would remind you, did not call out the National Guard at ‘Richmond ‘a few months ago. He “kept his promise. But he did promise he would not use the State Police for a similar purpose. You are all acquainted with what happened at Richmond.” Mr. Dawson comniended the unions affiliated with the American Federation of Labor for the agreement b ythe building trades not to stop work in defense industries be‘cause of jurisdictional strikes.
EVANSVILLE, Ind, Sept. 16 (U. P.).—The Indiana State Federation of Labor today will consider a resolution urging enactment of a state fair labor standards act, patterned after the Federal law setting ‘minimum wages and maximum hours for workers in interstate commerce. ° The resolution was advanced by the State Building and Construction Trades Council, which adopted it in a pre-convention session yes‘terday. The Brotherhood of Painters, Decorators and Paperhangers also met yesterday. Among scheduled speakers as the convention, attended by 700 delegates, opened today were Lieut. Gov. Charles M. Dawson, Evansville Controller Gilbert Bosse and Dr. Lincoln B. Hale, president of ‘Evansville College. Governor Schricker will speak
