RAP_BAILEY BILL

Tell Senators Sectional Aid Measure Is Unfair.

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer

WASHINGTON, May 17.— Both the state of Indiana and the Indiana State Chamber of Commerce are on record today against the Bailey bill which they maintain would favor the west and south in decentralization of post-war industry: A statement of the "state's opposition was filed with the senate commerce committee by Lt. Gov. Richard T. James when he was here last week. Herschel A. Hollopeter appeared as a witness at the committee hearings on behalf of the State Chamber of Commerce. He argued that it is not the business of the federal government to favor one section of the country against another in stimulating industrial growth. Similar arguments wére made by both last week against the McCarran resolution before the senate judiciary committee. ’

Recalls Auto Industry The resolution would provide the studies which the Bailey bill, with a $25,000,000 appropriation, likely would carry out they maintain. Mr. Hollopéter cited the industrial history of Indiana to show how the

Statement by James “As a matter of fact, the problem of these states is much greater than in the states of lesser industrial activity because they have more labor which must’ be protected and provided with adequate employment. “The federal government, therefore, cannot enter this picture without becoming a direct handicap to the great mass of working people where they actually live, and the provisions of this bill, if carried out, would impose upon industrial employees as a whole the hardships that come from loss of employment where they now live and the necessity of transplanting themselves to some other location. “Added to these industrially .employed persons would be the many

Seasonal decline in agricultural employment accounted for about a million of the three million who left the labor force after war ended. Many of the others had worked on war-plant production lines or replaced men who went into the
