Mrs. Smiley on Program

This afternoon, Mrs. J. H y was to speak on “The In-

a Council of Churchwomen and,

Christian Education.” Mrs. Smiley is the president of the Churchwomen. . Dr. Harry. C. ‘Munro, director of the United Christian Adult MoveTg ‘was. to give the address, “Ket's Step Up the Advance,” and Mrs. Milton Loftin: was to present special music. Dr. E. R. Bartlett, council president, in his address this morning, “The Religious Education Law in , Indiana and How to Use It,” called the religious way of life the democratic way. . The best way of preserving the democratic way of life is to give the small child religious training, he said. He explained that the new religious education law in Indiana does not make much training compulsory, but on the. contrary, permits parents to request that their children be released from school for two periods .a week for religious instruction in a church.

Need Capable Teachers

Such classes should not be insugurated in a community unless competent teachers and proper text books are available, Dr. Bartlett warned. . Dr. Schutz, who has been active in the council for 20 years and president for eight, charged the convention to carry on its work. He spoke of the rise of juvenile delinquency, the fatalistic philosophy of youth and cynicism of adults today as reasons for religious education for all ages. He said the greatest needs of the council at present are for enthusiasm among those leng interested in its program; greater co-operation among all characfer-building agencies and a willingness to sacrifice

LEWIS SEEN IN

FIGHT TO FINISH

Operators - Believe Pennsy Failure Shows No Weakening.

WASHINGTON, June 16—Coal operators today viewed John L. Lewis’ refusal to complete an agreement with their general Pennsyl-

.|vania group as a sign that the lead-

er. of the United Mine Workers was squaring off to nhnish the fight he

‘| started four months ago for sub-

stantial pay boosts for his more than half a million followers. The Lewis move was regarded as indicating no weakening In his determination to battle on and to face a showdown with the national war labor board and other government agencies concerned in his announced intention: to smash. the Little Steel wage formula. The samé agencies also are concerned in the threat of a third great strike next Monday. Had Mr. Lewis been disposed to weaken, he would have signed with the central Pennsylvania group a tentative contract’ which the operators were ready to submit for NWLB approval. In this manner he would have maintained the wedge he drove a week ago into the ranks of the operators, apparently with tHe intention of inducing other

proximately $1.50 a day in basic miners’ pay. Break-Up Is Sudden

Charles O'Neill, spokesman for central Pennsylvania, held a joint press conference with Mr. Lewis just after the operator split devel last Wednesday. Their statements were definite that a complete accord had been reached and that it only needed to be put in writing. Mr. O'Neill so reported to in a session called to review the entire controversy—with the mine worker spokesmen refusing to attend, as has been their policy. The break-up of this sectional negotiation came suddenly. A phone call from mine worker headquarters soon after noon yesterday was said to have blasted the central Pennsylvania operators’ expectation to lay the proposed agreement before NWLB about an hour later. Instead, Mr. O'Neill reported to that agency: . “We failed to reach an accord on an indemnification or protection clause: relating to the ‘portal-to-portal’ issue prior to April 1, 1943, which we have always contended was fully covered by the contract... The failure came about a matter of providing a permanent settlement of the issue for alleged claims prior to April 1, 1943, as against merely a postponement of the issue.

Await NLWB Decision

“The (Central Pennsylvania Coal Producers) association decided it could not accept such a temporary settlement of this issue and. the negotiations have collapsed.” So Mr. O'Neill, who for years prior to last week’s split acted as chief bargainer and spokesman for all the northern groups, returns with his central Pennsylvania colleagues to the same position as the other operators—they await a decision from the NWLB directing a settlement of the long controversy. The decision may come today, but is more confidently expected tomorrow. Many signs indicate its terms will fall so far short of the mine worker demands that Mr. Lewis will refuse to accept. He has made a perfect record so far in ignoring NWLB requests and orders, and to continue this record he would need do nothing beyond the negatiye action of allowing the miners to strike again after the June 20 “deadline.”

Board May Refuse

The point of disagreement with the central Pennsylvania group emphasizes the ramifications of the portal-to-portal question on which Mr. Lewis in recent weeks has made his main drive. It strengthens views that the board is likely to refuse to rule on this issue, and instead to classify it as suitable only for: court determination. * Conceivably the operators could be held liable f& millions of dallars in back pay for overtime under the fair labor standards act.- »

to appropriate $450 additional funds to pay the extra food costs.

More than 10,000. meals have |

been served by Sheriff Otto Petit to city prisoners since Jan. 1, exhausting the city’s $350 budget for jail meals, Police Chief Beeker said. During the same period last year, only 7600 meals were served to city prisoners.

LOCAL BROKERS’ OFFICES FILLED

‘Public’ Is Back in Market But Not Many Are

War Workers.

. By ROGER BUDROW Prosperity. after years of absence, has come back to the stock brokers. War and bulging pocketbooks have brought the public into the brokers’ board room again. And while business is nothing like the boom days of 1929, it has picked up enough so the old red ink bottle can be put away for a while. Some of the learned financial commentators have deduced that this influx of new business must be coming from the newly rich war workers who have more money than they know what to do with. But brokers here say that is not the case, Oh, yes, you hear stories of boners the greenhorns pull. There is the one being told around town about the girl in slacks who sauntered into a broker’s office and after much stewing around, deep thinking and giving the broker the impression she was a “big operator,” finally bought 10 shares of CurtissWright. : “They’ve got everything,” she exclaimed, “just the way they want it. Why that stock is going to be worth 100 some day.” It sells currently for around $8.50. And then there is the one about the fellow who breezed in, saw some stock flash by on the trans-lux and hollered, “I'll take 100 of that.” And then he asked the broker, “What is it, anyway?” :

Dislike That Business

Brokers don't like that kind of business. And what “gets” them most about it is that some such people have made money gambling in stocks lately. The amount of business that comes from workers who used to make $35 a week and now get $60 or 50 doesn’t bulk large in comparison with a day’s total, brokers say. They find that most of their business comes from those who have always had some extra money to invest and now have more than usual. This class includes department heads at war plants, retired farmers, storekeepers, etc. One broker said he was getting business from farmers who had sold their - land for such purposes as Camp Atterbury and were looking around for something else to put it in. Automobile, refrigerator and other war-hit lines of merchandise have stymied dealers who, unable to reinvest in such store merchandise for the present, have invested their money in stocks.

Big Gains in Low-Priced

And then there are those who have always done some speculation but who have stayed on the sidelines in recent years because the stock market was so dull that they didn’t see much of a chance to make a profit, : Brokers point out that the highpriced “blue chips” haven't been leading the stock market advance until lately. They said the big gains were being made by the “cats and dogs,” the low-priced shares. Many of these were shares of utilities and railroads. One speculator, disgusted because his “blue chip” investment had not gone up very much, decided to sell and get in the “cats and dogs.” Another story going the rounds is about the woman who always owned an Oldsmobile and so she decided to buy some Oldsmobile stock, not knowing that the company was ab-

sorbed by General Motors some time |"

ago. The broker thought he misunderstood her and so he bought Hupmobile stock. And she ended up with a profit of 25 per cent on the mistake! °*

All conferees agreed that if child labor laws are relaxed, strict action must be taken to prevent ezploitation of children in jobs competing with adults. Mrs. John K. Goodwin, Indiana League of Women Voters president, whose’ organization sponsored passage of the child labor laws in 1923, said she thought the laws were already liberal enough fo permit children to “do the kind of work they should do.” ®Everybody recognizes that éhildren would be better off working at the kind of work they should do, it keeps them out of mischief,” she said.
